A. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be subscribed, issued and transferred, and the rights in
respect thereof shall be exercised, subject to the following conditions and restrictions.

1. Ownership by Nationality – That no transfer of shares of stock or interest which will reduce the
ownership of Filipino citizens to less than the required percentage of the capital stock shall be
allowed or permitted to be recorded in the proper books, and this restriction shall be printed or
indicated on all the stock certificates to be issued by the Corporation.

preferential rights in respect of (i) all issues of shares of stock of the Corporation, (ii) any sale,
transfer or assignment of shares of stock of the Corporation by any stockholder, and (iii) any
foreclosure sale or sales after attachment or execution of judgment involving shares of stock of
the Corporation, set forth below;

of all issues of the capital stock of the Corporation, whether such issues are to be made out of
present authorized capital stock or out of a proposed increase of authorized capital stock or from
treasury.
(b) Right of First Refusal – In the event any stockholder, including pledgees and holders of any
interest in such stock, (hereinafter referred to as the “Offeror”) desires to transfer or sell any such
stock to third parties, (hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Stock”), the Offeror shall give a right
of first refusal to the Corporation and to all the other stockholders of record thereof to acquire or
purchase the Offered Stock in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
The Offeror shall transmit to the Secretary of the Corporation by personal delivery or
registered mail a written offer to transfer or sell the Offered Stock specifying therein the number
of shares to be transferred or sold, the consideration or price per share, and the terms and
conditions of transfer or sale. Within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such notice, the
Secretary shall transmit by personal delivery or, in the case of stockholders residing outside the
Philippines, by the most expeditious available mail or messenger service, a copy of such offer to
each stockholder of record at his address on the books of the Corporation and, at the appropriate
time, shall notify each such stockholder of the expiry date of the Corporation’s Option Period and
of the Stockholders’ Option Period (as these terms are defined below).
The Corporation shall then have the first option to purchase all (but not a portion only) of
the Offered Stock under the terms of the Offeror’s written offer. If the Corporation declines of
fails to accept or does not purchase all the Offered Stock within thirty (30) days (the
“Corporation’s Option Period”) from the date of receipt by the Secretary of the written offer of
the Oferror, the Corporation shall be deemed to have refused the same and to have waived its
option to acquire the Offered Stock.
Each stockholder of record of the Corporation shall be entitled, up to the limit allowed by
applicable provision of Philippine law or regulation, to purchase such proportion of the Offered
Stock as the number of shares of stock which he holds bears to the total number of outstanding
stock (excluding the Offered Stock) of the Corporation, and may, in addition, offer to purchase
any portion of the Offered Stock not taken up by any stockholder pursuant to the option herein
given (the “Unsubscribed Shares”). If the total number of shares which the other stockholders
wish to acquire exceeds the actual number of Unsubscribed Shares available to be purchased, each
such stockholder offering to purchase Unsubscribed Shares shall be entitled to purchase such
proportion of the actual number of Unsubscribed Shares as the number of shares of stock which
he holds prior to the exercise of his of his option bears to the actual number of Unsubscribed
Shares available to be purchased. The stockholders’ right of first refusal and right to purchase
additional Unsubscribed Shares provided herein shall be effective for a period of thirty (30) days
(the “Stockholders’ Option Period”) from the date the Corporation declines the offer, or, from the
expiration of the Corporation’s Option Period, whichever is earlier, as such date is notified to each
stockholder by the Secretary of the Corporation as provided in the second paragraph of this
subparagraph A.2 (b) above, or, in the case of a stockholder requiring prior governmental or
regulatory approval in connection with the exercise of such rights, such longer period as may be
necessary to obtain such approval.
Any shares of Offered Stock not acquired by the Corporation or the other stockholders of
record within the applicable Option Period may be transferred or sold by the Offeror to any person
at not less than the price and on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Offeror’s
original written Offer. If the Offeror shall then be unable to sell any shares of the Offered Stock
at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the original offer, and if he should desire
to sell at a lower price or under amended terms and conditions, the Offeror shall re-offer such
shares first, to the Corporation and second, to the other stockholders of the Corporation, in the
manner above prescribed, at such lower price or under such amended terms and conditions, and
any shares not purchased pursuant to such re-offer within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt
by the Corporation, through the Secretary Corporation, of the notice of re-offer or, in the case of
any stockholder requiring prior governmental or regulatory approval in connection with the
exercise of such right, within such longer period as may be necessary to obtain such approval,
may be sold within one (1) year from the date of such re-offer at such lower price and upon such
altered terms and conditions.
The provisions of this subparagraph A.2 (b) shall not apply to the transfer, after the expiry
of the redemption period provided in the succeeding subparagraph A.2 (c) of shares of stock to
any pledgee or other holder of a security interest or to a judgment creditor who has purchased the
