9. Certain Representations and Warranties of Employee; Indemnification

The Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) The Employee is not and will not be in violation of any term of any employment contract,
patent disclosure agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement
or any restrictive covenant or any other common law obligation to a former employer relating
to the Employee’s right to be employed by the Company because of the nature of the business
conducted or to be conducted by the Company or to the use of trade secrets or proprietary
information of others, and the Company’s employment of the Employee does not subject the
Company to any liability. There is no action, suit, claim or proceeding now pending, or, to the
best of the Employee’s knowledge and belief after due inquiry, threatened with respect to any
contract, agreement, covenant or obligation referred to in the preceding sentence, nor, to the
best of the Employee’s knowledge and belief after due inquiry, does there exist any
reasonable basis therefore.

(b) The Employee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless from and against
all liabilities, losses and damages, together with all reasonable costs and expenses relating
thereto (including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses),
which would not have been incurred if all of the representations and warranties contained in
subsection (a) of this Section 10 had been true and correct.

(c) The Company agrees to provide the Employee in a timely manner with notice of all third
party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands or assessments subject to the
indemnification provisions of this Section 10 (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) brought at
any time following the date hereof, and shall otherwise make available all relevant
information material to the defenses of any Third Party Claims against it. The Employee shall
have the right to elect to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim at the
Employee’s sole expense, and no claim shall be settled or compromised without the
Employee’s consent unless the Employee shall have failed, after the lapse of a reasonable
time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, after notice to the Employee of such Third
Party Claim, to participate in the defense of the same. If the Employee wishes, the Employee
may control the defense of such litigation, at the Employee’s own expense, insofar as such
claim relates to the Employee’s liability. The Company’s failure to give timely notice or to
provide copies of documents or to furnish relevant data in connection with any Third Party
Claim shall not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification
from the Company, except and only to the extent that such failure shall result in any prejudice
to the Employee.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions

(a) This Agreement contains the entire and only Agreement between the Employee and the
Company respecting the subject matter hereof, and no modification, renewal, extension,
waiver or termination of this Agreement or any of the provisions herein contained shall be
binding upon the Employee or the Company unless made in writing and signed by the
Employee and an authorized officer of the Company. In the event of any inconsistency
between this Agreement and any other contract between the Employee and the Company, the
provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

(b) The Employee’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of the
Employee’s employment with the Company regardless of the manner of or reasons for such
termination, and regardless of whether such termination constitutes a breach of any other
agreement the Employee may have with the Company. The Employee’s obligations under this
Agreement shall be binding upon the Employee’s heirs, executors and administrators, and the
provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the successors
and assigns of the Company.

(c) If the scope of any provision contained herein is too broad to permit enforcement of such
provision to its full extent, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be
judicially modified in any proceeding brought with respect to the enforcement of such
provision. Except as otherwise provided in the previous sentence, if any provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to be illegal or invalid, the legality or validity of any other
provision hereof shall not be affected thereby, and any illegal or invalid provision of this
Agreement shall be severable, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) The Employee recognizes that money damages alone would not adequately compensate the
Company in the event of breach by the Employee of this Agreement, and the Employee
therefore agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available to the Company, at law, in
equity or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief for the enforcement
hereof. Failure by the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such terms, covenants or
conditions.

(e) All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to and not exclusive of
any other rights and remedies provided by law, in equity, by agreement or otherwise.

(f) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
laws of the Republic of the Philippines. It amends and supersedes any agreement you may
have with the Company which is contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. It shall be
deemed to be effective as of the first day of your employment by the Company. This
Agreement is executed under seal.
