am compelled to disclose the Proprietary Information, I will furnish only that portion of the Proprietary
Information that is legally required to be disclosed and will exercise all efforts to obtain reliable
assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information disclosed.

I acknowledge and understand that Group Members possess and will possess "Group Documents and
Materials" which are important to the businesses of Group Members. All Group Documents and Materials
are and will be the sole property of the relevant Group Members.

I agree that during my employment, I will not remove any Group Documents and Materials from the
business premises of any Group Member or deliver any Group Documents and Materials to any person or
entity outside the Group, except as I am required to do in connection with performing the duties of my
employment. I further agree that, immediately upon the termination of my employment for any reason,

Right with respect to any and all such Inventions. I agree that my wages are full and adequate

I acknowledge and agree that the Company will be the sole owner of all Intellectual Property Rights and
other rights in connection with such Inventions. I further acknowledge and agree that copyright to such
Inventions, including, without limitation, any computer programs, programming documentation, and

of the Invention to grant the license referred to in the previous sentence. I agree to make and maintain
adequate and current written records, in a form specified by the Company, of all Inventions assigned or

Company to permit and assist it in further evidencing and perfecting the assignments and/or waivers
made to or in favor of the Company under this Agreement and in obtaining, maintaining, defending and
enforcing Intellectual Property Rights and any other rights in connection with Inventions, improvements
to Inventions and Proprietary Information in any and all countries. Such acts may include, but are not
limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. I irrevocably
designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents, as my agents and
attorney-in-fact to act for and on my behalf and instead of me, to execute and file any documents,
applications or related findings and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes set

and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral

following is allowed by the laws of Philippines, I waive such Moral Rights and voluntarily and
unconditionally consent to all and any acts or omissions of the Company, or persons authorized by the
Company, that may violate or infringe such Moral Rights in the absence of such consent. I agree to
execute any documents, or take any other steps necessary, to effect the waiver or consent if requested
by the Company.

represent that I have no Prior Inventions at the time of signing this Agreement.

Invention of a Group Member, then I also grant an exclusive worldwide license to each Group Member to
use, adapt, modify, sell and sublicense the Prior Invention as a component or underlying part of the
Invention of the Group Member.

G. Group Authorization for Publication


Prior to my submitting or disclosing for possible publication or dissemination outside the Group any
material prepared by me that incorporates information that concerns any Group Member's business or
anticipated research, I agree to deliver a copy of such material to the Group's legal department for its
review. Within twenty (20) days following such submission, the Company agrees to notify me in writing
whether it believes such material contains any Proprietary Information or Inventions which are the
property of any Group Member, or could lead to the disclosure or dissemination of any Proprietary
Information or such Inventions, and I agree to make such deletions and revisions as are reasonably
requested by the Company to protect any such Proprietary Information and Inventions. I further agree
to obtain the written consent of the Group's legal department prior to any review of such material by
persons outside the Group.

H. Severability

subsidiaries, successors and assigns. Unless replaced by a similar agreement, this Agreement remains in
full force and effect if my employment is transferred to any other Group Member. In that event, the
Group Member that employs me will be automatically substituted for the Company with respect to this

Cash Compensation

Fixed Cash Allowances

Rice, meal, clothing, laundry, transportation and car allowances form part of the fixed cash allowances
provided. Transportation and car allowances are provided based on an employee’s job grade and
location.

Guaranteed Bonus

It is also known as the 13th-month pay and is paid to all Optum employees. This bonus is equivalent to
one month’s basic salary subject to applicable pro-ratio based on actual number of days rendered in a
year.

Variable Compensation Plan

Every employee has an opportunity to participate in a variable compensation plan, which is an important
part of total compensation opportunity.

Our philosophy is Pay-for-Performance. This intends to differentiate pay between “exceeds” and “meets”
performers.

There are 2 types of variable compensation plan - Rewarding Results Plan and Quarterly Variable
Compensation. These are not guaranteed and payouts are based on different factors. An employee may
only be enrolled in one type of incentive plan.

Rewarding Results Plan (RRP)

The majority of employees are eligible for Rewarding Results Plan. This is paid annually during Common
Review.
The RRP is an opportunity to receive cash awards for achieving results. It is a tangible link between the
success of the company and the individual. Each employee has a target incentive or funding rate which
is the basis in establishing the budget.

At the end of the performance year, the Manager, based upon a multitude of factors including: base
salary, grade level funding factor, entity rating, and new hire proration if applicable, distribute rewards to
employees based on their individual performance against their goals.

Quarterly Variable Compensation

A large portion of our Operations employees are eligible for the Quarterly Variable Compensation plan
(QVC). The QVC ties directly to our pay for performance philosophy. It rewards employees who have a
direct, positive impact on customer experience.

QVC payout is based on the achievement of a set of clearly defined performance expectations for
employees. This intends to drive the quality of the customer experience by rewarding top performers
with frequent incentive payouts when they achieve and exceed our efficiency, quality and customer-
satisfaction expectations.

Pay Review

The company undertakes an annual performance-related salary review called Common Review. As a
result of the salary review, employees may receive a salary increase called merit increase. The merit
increase is not an entitlement and is subject to an individual’s performance and achievement of
objectives.

Holiday Pay and Rest Day Premium

Holiday pay and rest day premiums are provided as per the applicable statutory premium rates
depending on the employee’s eligibility.

Overtime Pay

Employees who are eligible for overtime are those who do not hold supervisory or managerial
responsibilities/positions and are required to work on holidays or beyond their stipulated regular work
hours. Overtime pay will apply only to individuals who work beyond regular work hours.

Night Shift Premium

Employees at salary grades 20 – 26 who are required to work between 10PM and 6AM are eligible for the
Night Shift Differential. This is an additional compensation of 10% of an employee’s regular wage per
hour.

Benefits

for everyone. Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the program. The plan rewards tenure,
