2. Exchange of Notes for Common
Stock
(a) Grant of Exchange
Right. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
Holdings hereby grants Purchaser an irrevocable right to exchange all or part of
its Notes for Common Stock (an “Exchange Right”) at a
price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.2682 (the “Note Exercise
Price”).
The Note
Exercise Price is subject to adjustment as set forth in
Section 5.
(b) Exercise Period of Exchange
Right. At any time after the date hereof and from time to
time, the Exchange Right may be exercised by Purchaser in its sole discretion,
in whole or in part until such time as all of the Notes are exchanged for Common
Stock, paid at maturity or redeemed in accordance with their terms.
(c) Exercise of Exchange
Right. The Exchange Right shall be exercised by written notice
from Purchaser to Holdings (an “Exchange Notice”)
stating that Purchaser desires to exercise an Exchange Right and setting
forth: (i) the proposed closing date, which (subject to the
earlier satisfaction or waiver of the condition set forth in Section 7)
shall be within three days
4
after
the date of delivery of such notice with respect to shares of Common Stock
issuable from the unissued authorized capital stock of Holdings and within three
days after the approval by the Philippine SEC of the necessary increase in
authorized capital stock of Holdings with respect to shares of Common Stock
issuable from an increase in the authorized capital stock of Holdings; provided, however, if Holdings
has not received the Notes BSRD described in Section 6(e) by such third day
after the delivery of the Exchange Notice, the Closing shall occur as soon as
practicable following the receipt of such Notes BSRD by Holdings, and
(ii) the amount of Notes to be exchanged expressed as a Conversion
Principal Amount and such Conversion Principal Amount shall be in multiples of
$25,000 or, in the case of the exchange of all outstanding Notes, such remainder
of the Conversion Principal Amount. Concurrent with the delivery of
the Exchange Notice with respect to shares of Common stock issuable from the
unissued authorized capital stock and within three (3) Business Days after
stockholders representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding capital stock
of Holdings approve the necessary increase in authorized capital stock with
respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from an increase in authorized
capital stock of Holdings, Purchaser shall deliver to Holdings (A) an executed
signature page of the Exchange Shares Subscription Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A (“Exchange
Shares Subscription Agreement”), (B) an executed
signature page of the Note Assignment, a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit B (“Note
Assignment”), (C) such number
of Notes owned by Purchaser with an aggregate principal amount equal to the
Conversion Principal Amount as set forth in the Exchange Notice to which the
Exchange Notice relates together with the Note Assignment duly executed by
Purchaser. Upon such delivery and subject to Section 6(a)(iii),
Holdings shall receive the relevant Notes and all the rights pertaining to a
holder thereof other than the Exchange Rights.
(d) Exchange of
Notes. i) The Exchange Right will be deemed to be
exercised on the date of delivery of the Exchange Notice. The number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued and delivered to Purchaser in connection
with the delivery of the Exchange Notice shall be determined by dividing the
Conversion Principal Amount as set forth in such Exchange Notice by the Note
Exercise Price then in effect.
(ii) Any
accrued and unpaid interest (other than accrued and unpaid interest added to the
Invested Principal Amount pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Notes) in respect
of any Notes to be exchanged into shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Exchange
Notice shall be paid in cash at the time such Notes are exchanged.
(iii) No
fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of the Note. In lieu
of any fractional share of Common Stock to which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Note Exercise Price
multiplied by such fraction.
(e) Closing. The
consummation of the exchange of Notes for Exchange Shares contemplated by this
Agreement (the “Exchange Closing”)
shall occur within three days after the date of delivery of an Exchange Notice
with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from the unissued authorized
capital stock of Holdings and within three days after the approval by the
Philippine SEC of the necessary increase in authorized capital stock of Holdings
with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from an increase in the
authorized capital stock of Holdings (each, a “Closing Date”); provided, however, if Holdings
has not received the Notes
5
BSRD
described in Section 6(d) by such third day after the delivery of the Exchange
Notice, the Closing shall occur as soon as practicable following the receipt of
such Notes BSRD by Holdings and the Company. In the event
that all of Purchaser’s Notes are not exchanged pursuant to this Agreement at
the relevant Closing, Purchaser may engage in successive closings (each, an
“Exchange Subsequent
Closing”) with respect to the completion of the exchange of its Notes for
Common Stock.
(f) Closing
Deliveries.
(i) At
the Exchange Closing or any Exchange Subsequent Closing, as the case may be,
Holdings shall deliver to Purchaser (A) certificates evidencing such number
of shares of Common Stock (as calculated in accordance with Section 2(d)
above) (the “Exchange
Shares”), pursuant to the Exchange Notice to which the Exchange Closing
or such Exchange Subsequent Closing relates, in definitive form and registered
in the name of Purchaser and/or such assigns permitted pursuant to the Note and
in such denominations as Purchaser shall reasonably request, (B) proof of
the payment prior to such Closing Date of applicable documentary stamp taxes and
any other fees or costs imposed on the issuance of the Exchange Shares by any
Governmental Agency having jurisdiction over such issuance, (C) one or more of
the Notes BSRDs, covering such amounts as necessary to cause the registration of
the Exchange Shares with the BSP and any other document, certificate or report
that may be required by the BSP in respect of such registration and (D) the fee
contemplated by Section 6(a)(iii)(a).
(ii) At
the Exchange Closing or any Exchange Subsequent Closing, as the case may be, the
Company shall deliver to Purchaser (A) an amount in cash equal to any accrued
and unpaid interest (other than accrued and unpaid interest added to the
Invested Principal Amount pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Notes) in respect
of the Notes exchanged into Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Notice
delivered to Holdings under Section 2(d) above and (B) a new Note
representing the Current Invested Principal Amount, if any.
3. Mandatory Issuance of Common
Stock
(a) Mandatory Issuance
Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, may elect to replace all of its Exchange Rights with the right (the
“Mandatory Issuance
Rights”) to (i) assign a portion or all of the Notes to Holdings; provided, however, that prior
to such assignment, the Company shall redeem a portion of such Notes pursuant to
Section 3(c) hereof, and (ii) subscribe for shares of Common Stock (the “Mandatory Issuance”)
at a price per share equal to the then par value of one share of Common Stock
(the “Issuance
Purchase Price”).
(b) Exercise of Mandatory
Issuance Rights. The Mandatory Issuance Right shall be
exercised by written notice from Purchaser to Holdings (a “Mandatory Issuance
Notice”) stating that Purchaser desires to exercise a Mandatory Issuance
Right and setting forth: (i) the proposed closing date, which
(subject to the earlier satisfaction or waiver of the condition set forth in
Section 7) shall be within three days after the date of delivery of such
notice with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from the unissued
authorized capital stock of Holdings and
6
within
three days after the approval by the Philippine SEC of the necessary increase in
authorized capital stock of Holdings with respect to shares of Common Stock
issuable from an increase in the authorized capital stock of Holdings, and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Purchaser in
connection with the delivery of the Mandatory Issuance Notice, which shall be
determined by dividing
(A) the Conversion Principal Amount specified in the Mandatory Issuance Notice
by (B) the Note
Exercise Price then in effect; provided, however, that if the
Holder would receive any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to this
calculation, Holdings shall make a cash payment to Purchaser equal to the Note
Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by such
fraction. Concurrently with the delivery of a Mandatory Issuance
Notice, Purchaser shall deliver to Holdings (A) an executed signature page of
the Subscription Agreement, (B) an executed signature page of the Note
Assignment, (C) such number of Notes owned by Purchaser with an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Conversion Principal Amount as set forth in the
Mandatory Issuance Notice to which the Mandatory Issuance relates, together with
an instrument of transfer reasonably satisfactory to Holdings duly executed by
Purchaser, and (D) the Issuance Purchase Price for the Mandatory Issuance
Shares. Upon such delivery, and subject to Section 3(c) below,
Holdings shall receive the relevant Notes and all the rights pertaining to a
holder thereof other than the Mandatory Issuance Rights.

with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from an increase in authorized
capital stock of Holdings, the Company shall redeem from Purchaser for a cash
payment (including any accrued and unpaid interest (other than accrued and
unpaid interest added to the Invested Principal Amount pursuant to Section 2.01
of the Notes) relating to such redeemed Notes, the “Redemption Payment”)
a portion of the Conversion Principal Amount of the Notes specified in the
Mandatory Issuance Notice equal to the Issuance Purchase Price of the Shares
being issued in the Mandatory Issuance. Such redemption shall not be
taken into account in calculating the number of Mandatory Issuance Shares to be
issued pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) above.
(ii) Within
fourteen (14) days from the delivery of the Mandatory Issuance Notice with
respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from unissued authorized capital
stock of Holdings, and within fourteen (14) days after stockholders representing
at least two-thirds of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings approve the
necessary increase in authorized capital stock with respect to shares of Common
Stock issuable from an increase in authorized capital stock of Holdings, (A)
each of Holdings and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser and the
Purchaser shall deliver to Holdings, an executed signature page of the Mandatory
Issuance Shares Subscription Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the “Mandatory Issuance Shares
Subscription
Agreement”), (B) Holdings shall deliver to the Purchaser and the
Purchaser to Holdings, an executed signature page of the Note Assignment, (C)
the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the Redemption Payment,

Assignment, it being understood that the actions contemplated by the foregoing
clauses (A) through (C) shall occur concurrently. Thereafter,

holder thereof other than the Mandatory Share Issuance Rights.
(d) Payment of
Interest. Any accrued and unpaid interest (other than accrued
and unpaid interest added to the Invested Principal Amount pursuant to
Section 2.01 of the Notes) on the assigned Notes shall be paid in cash at
the time such Notes are assigned.
(e) Closing. The
consummation of the Mandatory Issuance contemplated by this Agreement (the “
Mandatory Issuance
Closing”, together with the Exchange Closing, the “Closing”) shall occur
within three days after the date of delivery of a Mandatory Issuance Notice with
respect to shares of Common Stock issuable from the unissued authorized capital
stock of Holdings and within three days after the approval by the Philippine SEC
of the necessary increase in authorized capital stock of Holdings with respect
to shares of Common Stock issuable from an increase in the authorized capital
stock of Holdings (each, a “Mandatory Issuance Closing
Date”). In the event that all of Purchaser’s Notes are not
assigned pursuant to this Agreement at the Mandatory Issuance Closing, Purchaser
may engage in successive closings (each, a “Mandatory Issuance
Subsequent Closing”, together with an Exchange Subsequent Closing, a
“Subsequent

4. Representations and
Warranties of Holdings and Purchaser
(a) As
of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing and each Subsequent
Closing, Holdings hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as
follows:
(i) Existence. Holdings
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the Philippines and has full corporate power and authority to conduct
its business and own and operate its properties as now conducted, owned and
operated.
(ii) Authorization and
Enforceability. Holdings has the full power and authority and
has taken all required corporate and other action necessary to authorize and
permit Holdings to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the terms
hereof and to issue and deliver the Common Stock (except to the extent Holdings
is required to issue and deliver Common Stock in excess of its authorized
capital stock), and none of such actions will violate any provision of Holdings’
Articles of Incorporation or any applicable Law, or rule of any stock exchange
where the ADSs are listed, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default
(or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
default) under, any agreement, instrument or understanding to which Holdings is
a party or by which it is bound. This Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of Holdings, enforceable against Holdings in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and
similar laws of general application related to the enforcement of creditor’s
rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity. The Purchaser
acknowledges that the following shall not constitute a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.1(a)(ii): (1)
Holdings’ non-payment as of the date hereof of documentary stamp
taxes that will be due on the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable under
this Agreement or any applicable taxes, fees or costs contemplated by Section
2(f)(i)(B) or 3(f)(ii)(B) of this Agreement, (2) Holdings’ not having
secured as of the date hereof an amended Notes BSRD and (3) Holdings’ not having
secured as of the date hereof and as of the Closing the Shares
BSRD.
(iii) Issuance of Common
Stock. The shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant
to this Agreement, when issued and delivered in accordance with this Agreement,
will be validly issued and outstanding and will be fully paid, nonassessable and
registrable with the BSP.
(b) As
of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing and each Subsequent
Closing, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Holdings and the Company as
follows:
(i) Existence. Purchaser
is a limited liability company, duly organized and validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(ii) Authorization and
Enforceability. Purchaser has the full power and authority and
has taken all action necessary to authorize and permit it to execute
and
9
deliver
this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof and none of such actions will
violate any provision of Purchaser’s organizational documents or any applicable
Law, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default (or event which, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, any
agreement, instrument or understanding to which Purchaser is a party or by which
it is bound. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application
related to the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity.
(iii) Securities
Laws. The Purchaser understands that the amendment of the
Notes and the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes and this Agreement
is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities
Act. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The
Purchaser has acquired the Notes (and will acquire the Common Stock pursuant
hereto) for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the public
resale or distribution thereof, in violation of any United States or Philippine
securities law.
5. Anti-Dilution
Adjustments
(a) If
Holdings shall, while Purchaser’s Exchange Rights or Mandatory Issuance Rights
under this Agreement are outstanding, issue or sell shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) without consideration or at a price
per share or Net Consideration Per Share (as defined below) less than the
Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale then
in such case the Note Exercise Price, except as hereinafter provided, shall be
lowered so as to be equal to an amount determined by multiplying such Note
Exercise Price by the following fraction:
N0 + X0
X0 + N2
Where:
N0 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of such additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(calculated on a fully diluted basis assuming the exercise or conversion of all
then exercisable or convertible options, warrants, purchase rights and
convertible securities).
N1 = the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration (without
giving effect to any underwriter’s discounts or commissions) if any (including
the Net Consideration Per Share with respect to the issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents), received or receivable by Holdings for the total number of such
additional shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued would
purchase at the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance.
10
N2 = the
number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be
issued.
(b) For
purposes of this Section 5, if a part or all of the consideration received by
Holdings in connection with the issuance of any securities described in this
Section 5 consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be
deemed to have a fair market value as is reasonably determined in good faith by
the Board or a committee thereof. For the purposes of this Section 5,
the issuance of any warrants, options or subscription or purchase rights with
respect to shares of Common Stock and the issuance of any securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, including the ADSs, and the
issuance of any warrants, options or subscription or purchase rights with
respect to such convertible or exchangeable securities (collectively, “Common Stock
Equivalents”) shall be deemed an issuance of Common Stock. For
the avoidance of doubt, if a Common Stock Equivalent is issued or sold as part
of a unit with any other security of Holdings or its Affiliates that is not
independent of a Common Stock Equivalent, such other security shall not
constitute a Common Stock Equivalent. Any obligation, agreement or
undertaking to issue Common Stock Equivalents at any time in the future shall be
deemed to be an issuance at the time such obligation, agreement or undertaking
is made or arises and no additional adjustment of the Note Exercise Price shall
be made upon issuance of the Common Stock pertaining thereto.
(c) For
purposes of this Section 5, the “Net Consideration Per
Share” which shall be receivable by Holdings for any Common Stock issued
upon the exercise or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be
determined as follows:
(i) The
amount equal to the total amount of consideration, if any, received by Holdings
for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (without giving effect to any
underwriting discounts or commissions), plus the minimum
amount of consideration, if any, payable to Holdings upon exercise, or
conversion or exchange thereof, divided by the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued if all such
Common Stock Equivalents were exercised, exchanged or converted.
(ii) In
each instance such determination shall be made as of the date of issuance of
Common Stock Equivalents without giving effect to any possible future upward
price adjustments or rate adjustments which may be applicable with respect to
such Common Stock Equivalents.
(d) Section 5(a)
shall not apply under any of the circumstances that would constitute an
Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as described below). Further,
Section 5(a) shall not apply with respect to the issuance or sale of shares
of Common Stock, or the grant of options or other Common Stock Equivalents
exercisable therefor, to current or former directors, officers, employees and
consultants of Holdings or any subsidiary pursuant to any qualified or
non-qualified stock option plan or agreement, stock purchase plan or agreement,
stock restriction agreement, employee stock ownership plan, consulting
agreement, or such other options, issuances, arrangements, agreements or plans
intended principally as a means of providing compensation for employment or
services, provided that in each
such case such plan, agreement, or other arrangement or issuance is approved by
the vote or consent of the Board.
11
(e) Upon
the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as described below),
simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, the
Note Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Note Exercise Price by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Note Exercise Price.
An “Extraordinary Common Stock
Event” shall mean (i) the issue of additional shares of Common Stock
as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(ii) a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination or reverse stock
split of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
the Common Stock.
(f) If
the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares
of any other class or classes of capital stock, whether by capital
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or consolidation or merger of
Holdings with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of
its assets to another corporation or otherwise (other than an Extraordinary
Common Stock Event), then in each such event Purchaser shall have the right
thereafter to receive upon exercise hereof, in lieu of the number of shares of
Common Stock which Purchaser would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the
kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property
which it would have received upon such reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or consolidation or merger of Holdings with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other
change had Purchaser exercised the Exchange Right immediately prior to such
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or consolidation or merger of
Holdings with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of
its assets or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein. The provision for such adjustments shall be a condition
precedent to the consummation by Holdings of any such transaction.
(g) Whenever
on or after the date of this Agreement the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Exchange Right is exercisable or the Note Exercise Price is adjusted,
as herein provided, Holdings shall promptly give notice thereof to Purchaser, in
accordance with Section 9(b), by delivering a certificate which sets forth
the Note Exercise Price after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. Such certificate shall also set forth the
kind and amount of stock or other securities or property for which this Exchange
Right shall be exercisable following the occurrence of any of the events
specified above. The foregoing anti-dilution adjustments shall not
apply to any securities outstanding prior to the date hereof.
6. Covenants
(a) Holdings Reservation of the
Common Stock; Increase in Authorized but Unissued Common
Stock. (i) Holdings shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for
the purpose of issuance upon exchange of the Notes or pursuant to a Mandatory
Issuance, in each case in accordance with this
12
Agreement,
or pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2005, among Holdings,
the Company and Purchaser (the “2005 Exchange
Agreement”), the lesser of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock as
are issuable upon the exchange of all then outstanding Notes and pursuant to a
Mandatory Issuance, in each case pursuant to this Agreement, and
pursuant to the 2005 Exchange Agreement and (B) all of its then authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock that are
to be issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Right shall, when issued, be duly
authorized, duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from
all taxes, charges and Encumbrances. Holdings shall take all such
actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may
be so issued without violation of any applicable Law or Regulation or of any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common
Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance, which shall be
immediately transmitted by Holdings upon issuance).
(ii) At
any time and from time to time, Purchaser may request that Holdings use its
reasonable best efforts to increase the number of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to a number of shares of Common Stock that is not greater
than the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (A) upon the
exchange of all then outstanding Notes or pursuant to a Mandatory Issuance, in
each case pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) pursuant to the 2005 Exchange
Agreement. Following receipt of such a request, Holdings shall use
its reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock accordingly as promptly as
practicable thereafter and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect
thereto.
(iii) If
and to the extent that the Purchaser, in connection with its subscription for
any newly-authorized shares of Common Stock in connection with any exercise of a
Mandatory Issuance Right or an Exchange Right under this Agreement or the 2005
Exchange Agreement, contributes, transfers or assigns an amount (whether or not
such amount is in the form of cash or all or a portion of the Note or the 2005
Note) to Holdings as paid-in capital for all or a portion of such shares of
Common Stock (the “Contributed Amount”),
then, (a) at the Closing (if any), Holdings shall pay to Purchaser in cash a fee
in an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on such Contributed
Amount under the Note or the 10.00% Exchangeable Senor Subordinated Note dated
as of June 2, 2005 (the “2005 Note”) in
respect of which such Mandatory Issuance Right or Exchange Right was exercised
since it was exercised or (b) if the Closing does not occur prior to the 60th
Business Day after the delivery of an Exchange Notice or Mandatory Issuance
Notice, as applicable, Holdings shall promptly return such Contributed Amount to
Purchaser (together with a fee in cash in an amount equal to the interest that
would have accrued on such Contributed Amount under the Note or the 2005 Note in
respect of which such Mandatory Issuance Right or Exchange Right was exercised
since it was exercised), in cash or by return of the applicable portion of the
Notes or the 2005 Notes contributed to Holdings. Notwithstanding any
other agreement entered into by and among the Purchaser, Holdings and the
Company, the period provided for in this Section 6(a)(iii) may be extended with
the prior consent of the Purchaser for good cause, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
13
(b) Filings;
Etc. Subject
to the terms and conditions herein provided, Purchaser, Holdings and the Company
shall:
(i) make
any required filings, and obtain the consents, approvals, permits or
authorizations, required to be made or obtained prior to the Closing or a
Subsequent Closing, as the case may be, with or from any Governmental
Agency;
(ii) to
the extent permitted by Law and Regulation, agree not to participate in any
meeting or discussion with any Governmental Agency in respect of any filings,
investigation or other inquiry concerning this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby unless they consult with the other parties in advance and,
to the extent permitted by such Governmental Agency, gives the other parties the
opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or
discussion;
(iii) to
the extent permitted by Law and Regulation, furnish the other parties with
copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting
forth the substance thereof) between them and their subsidiaries and their
respective representatives on the one hand, and any Governmental Agency or
members of any such agency’s staff on the other hand, with respect to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(iv) furnish
the other parties with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as
such other parties and their Affiliates may reasonably request in connection
with their preparation of necessary filings, registrations or submissions of
information to any governmental or regulatory authorities.
(c) Without
limiting Section 6(b), Purchaser, Holdings and the Company
shall:
(i) each
use reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated,
terminated or modified, any decree, order or judgment that would restrain,
prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; and
(ii) each
use reasonable best efforts to take any and all steps necessary to obtain any
consents and approvals or make any required filings under Section 6(b) above or
eliminate any impediments to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
(d) [Intentionally
Omitted.]
(e) BSP
Filings. (i) Holdings and the Company agree that,
on or prior to September 30, 2008, they shall have (A) taken all action
necessary to register the full amount of the Notes as a foreign currency loan
with the BSP and (B) obtained the related BSRD (the “Notes BSRD”); provided, however, that if
Purchaser delivers to Holdings an Exchange Notice prior to September 30, 2008,
Holdings and the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to register
the amount of Notes subject to such Exchange Notice and obtain the related Notes
BSRD by the later of September 30, 2008 or 15 days from receipt of the relevant
Exchange Notice. Such action shall include filing of proof of receipt
of the Purchase Price, documents
14
pertaining
to the use of proceeds from the Purchase Price and all other documents that may
be required by the BSP to register the Notes and issue the Notes
BSRD.
(ii) Holdings
and the Company agree that, for the benefit of Purchaser or any transferee of
Purchaser, they shall have (A) within 5 days of the Closing or any Subsequent
Closing, taken all action necessary to register the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exchange of the Notes or pursuant to Mandatory Issuance with the
BSP and (B) within 30 Business Days of the Closing or the Subsequent Closing
obtained the related BSRD (the “Shares BSRD”); provided, however, that in the
event that Purchaser exercises an Exchange Right prior to September 30, 2008,
all actions set forth in this Section 6(e)(ii) shall be completed within 60
Business Days of such Closing or Subsequent Closing instead of 30 Business
Days. The period provided for in this Section 6(e)(ii) may be
extended with the prior consent of the Purchaser for good cause, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such action shall include filing
of the requisite Notes BSRD, if applicable, and all other documents that may be
required by the BSP to register the shares of Common Stock and issue the Shares
BSRD.
7. Conditions.
The
obligations of Holdings and Purchaser to complete the exchange of Notes for
Common Stock upon the exercise of an Exchange Right or to consummate a Mandatory
Issuance upon exercise of a Mandatory Issuance Right shall be subject to the
conditions that (a) the issuance of Common Stock will not require registration
of the Common Stock under the Securities Act or any other securities laws and
(b) none of the parties hereto shall be subject to any Law that prohibits the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or decree, order or
injunction that prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby issued by a court of competent jurisdiction of (i) the United States
or any state or other jurisdiction in the United States or (ii) the
Republic of the Philippines; provided, however, that, prior
to invoking this condition, each party shall have complied with
Section 6(b), and with respect to other matters not covered by
Section 6(b), shall have used its reasonable best efforts to have any such
decree, order or injunction lifted or vacated; and no Law or Regulation shall
have been enacted by any Governmental Agency which prohibits or makes unlawful
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
8. Owners of Notes Not Deemed
Shareholders.
No owner
of Notes shall, as such, be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of Common
Stock that may at any time be issuable upon exercise of Exchange Rights or
Mandatory Issuance Rights for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything
contained herein be construed to confer upon the owner of the Notes, as such,
any of the rights of a shareholder of Holdings or any right to vote for the
election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether
upon any recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par
value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice
of meetings until such owner shall have exercised Exchange Rights or Mandatory
Issuance Rights in accordance with the provisions hereof.
15
9. General
Provisions
(a) Survival of Representation
and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Holdings
and Purchaser shall survive the Closing and each Subsequent Closing until all of
the Notes have been exchanged into shares of Common Stock or assigned to
Holdings, as applicable, paid at maturity or are redeemed in accordance with
their terms and all of the Mandatory Issuance Shares have been issued, if
applicable.
(b) Notice
Generally. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be

(c) Successors and Assigns;
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the
parties hereto as hereinafter provided. The rights of Purchaser with
respect to the Notes shall be transferred to any Person who is a transferee of
such Notes. All obligations of Holdings hereunder shall survive any
such transfer. No person other than the parties hereto and their
successors and permitted assigns is intended to be a beneficiary of this
Agreement.
(d) Headings. The
headings and subheadings in this Agreement are included for convenience and
identification only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or
limit the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.
(e) Governing Law;
Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
(i) Any
claim, action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based
on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby may be heard and determined in any New York
State or federal court sitting in The City of New York, County of Manhattan, and
each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom in any such claim,
action, suit or proceeding) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that
any such claim, action, suit or proceeding that is brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(ii) Subject
to applicable law, process in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding may be
served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the
jurisdiction of any such court. Nothing herein shall affect the right
of any party to serve legal process in any manner permitted by law or at
equity. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN
ANY SUCH COURT,
17
EACH OF
THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES TO THE OTHER ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY, AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING.
(f) Severability. If
any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions
contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest
extent possible.
(g) Amendments. This
Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, modified or restated nor may any
provision herein be waived without the express unanimous written consent of the
Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such
time, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that no
amendment, supplement or modification can be made to the terms of the Exchange
Right, including the Note Exercise Price, or the Mandatory Issuance Rights,
without the written consent of each Holder affected thereby. Any
waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a
waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure
of any Holder to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under
this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available.
(h) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.
(i) Cumulative
Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement
are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not
preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said
rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may
have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.
(j) Construction. Each
party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it has had the opportunity to draft,
review and edit the language of this Agreement and that no presumption for or
against any party arising out of drafting all or any part of this Agreement will
be applied in any dispute relating to, in connection with or involving this
Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby waive the benefit
of any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require, in cases of
uncertainty, that the language of a contract should be interpreted most strongly
against the party who drafted such language.
(k) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. Each counterpart may
18
consist
of a number of copies hereof each signed by less than all, but together signed
by all of the parties hereto.
19
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement and caused the same to
be duly delivered on their behalf on the day and year first written
above.
