same manner, all notices sent by me, whether by mail, e-mail, text message/s via SMS, telegraph, telephone, fax, and/or other medium duly registered with you shall constitute personal delivery

attributable to me as the buyer. Any order inadvertently accepted and executed without sufficient funds in the Account will be subject to cancellation or liquidation at your discretion. I am
responsible for all of my orders, including any orders which exceed available funds in my Account. If full funds are not available in the Account and an order is processed, my payment via
Metrobankdirect pledge, wire, personal check, cashier's check or money order made payable to you must be promptly submitted to you to assure that such payment will be received and
processed on or prior to 11:00 a.m. of the Settlement Date. If payment is not received by Settlement Date, or as market condi tions warrant, my Account may be liquidated, without prior
notification. In the event that my Account is liquidated, I will be liable for any resulting losses and all associated costs incurred by you.

if fully set forth herein:
a. I acknowledge that the Online Trading Facility and the Website, including the software and other contents thereof, are proprietary to you. I warrant and undertake that I shall not
nor attempt to tamper with, modify, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise alter in any way, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Online Trading Facility or
Website or any of the contents thereof. I also undertake to immediately notify you if I become aware of any actions described above being perpetrated by another person or entity.

b. I agree that, as a condition of using your Online Trading Facility, I shall notify you within twenty-four (24) hours if:

(1) I placed an instruction through the Online Trading Facility and I do not receive an accurate acknowledgement, in any acceptable form, of my instruction or its execution;

arises from me.

c. I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for any and all orders placed electronically in my Account(s). Any investment decision that I make or investment strategy that I utilize

to the nature, potential value or suitability of any particular securities transaction or investment strategy. I further understand that while I may be able to access financial or
investment information or services through your Online Trading Facility, the availability of such information does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell any of the securities

objectives. Any order entered using my password is mine. If third parties gain access to your services, including my Accounts, I will cooperate in defending and indemnifying you
against any liability, costs or damages arising out of claims or suits based upon or relating to such access and use.

d. I am responsible for knowing the rights and terms of all securities in my Account(s) and for monitoring the occurrence of any reorganizations or other events (e.g. stock splits and
reverse stock splits) involving my securities. I acknowledge that certain securities may grant me valuable rights that may expire unless I take action on these rights. I understand
that, except as required by law, you are not obligated to notify me of reorganizations or other events affecting the rights granted by my securities or, without specific instructions
from me, to take any action on my behalf with respect to such events.

e. For expediency, I understand that I have an option to open a Trade Settlement Account with Metrobank and enroll in the Metrobankdirect facility. In the event that I have an
existing deposit Account with Metrobank, it may be designated as a regular and as a Trade Settlement Account at the same time.

f. I hereby waive my rights under existing laws to the confidentiality of bank deposits with regard to the funds in my Trade Settlement Account that I ‘pledge_ or earmark through
Metrobankdirect to fund this Stock Brokerage Account with you. I explicitly allow Metrobank to divulge information regarding this pledge and other requirements to you.

g. I am aware that pledges in my Trade Settlement Account are intended to fund this Stock Brokerage Account with you for my future obligations to you in connection with my
purchases of securities, fixed income, mutual funds or other transactions done and services rendered. I understand that the release of my pledges can be requested through
Metrobankdirect and I further agree that I can not effect withdrawals thereon to the extent of the amount “pledged” in your favor without your prior approval

h. I hereby authorize you to automatically debit my Trade Settlement Account as and when I purchase securities through you, or whenever I have any other amounts owing to you,
in such amounts as may be necessary to fully settle my Account(s) with you, including without limitation the purchase price of securities purchased, commissions, taxes and other
applicable fees, costs, levies or duties.

i. In case the deposit account I have designated as a Trade Settlement Account is a joint “or” account, I shall not hold you and/or Metrobank liable for any action made by the other
party in a joint “or” settlement account resulting from debit entries against the said account related to online trading.

j. I understand that I will be allowed to purchase equities, fixed income securities, mutual funds or other products, up to the pledged amount in my Trade Settlement Account and
any clear funds I have with First Metro Securities. I also understand that you have the option to credit to my Trade Settlement Account the proceeds of my stock/fixed income
securities/mutual funds/other product sell transactions, cash dividends, maturities, etc.

k. I shall abide by the internal procedural policy of Metrobank with regard to posting priority of bank transactions to my designated Trade Settlement Account.

l. I understand and agree that you have the sole discretion to restrict trading on my Online Trading Facility or to cancel the same, at any time and without need of prior notice to me.

m. I understand that you will not be responsible for the accessibility of, transmission quality, outages to, or malfunction of any telephone circuits, computer hardware or software
(including viruses and bugs) or related/incidental problems.

n. I agree that you shall not be liable for my inability to use the Online Trading Facility or for the access of the Website due to any unauthorized actions or transactions using my
customer ID and password, or for any other cause beyond your control.

o. I agree that you reserve the right to suspend service and deny access to the Online Trading Facility, without prior notice, during scheduled or unscheduled system maintenance,
repairs and upgrades. I also agree that you have the right to modify or enhance the Website or any of its pages and features at your sole discretion and without prior notice.

p. I understand that the Internet service for the Online Trading Facility is provided on a best-efforts basis by third party Service Providers. Since you are not the provider of the
Internet Service, you shall not be liable for performance, acts, or omission of the said Internet service. Reasonable care and diligence has been taken by you in the choice of your
Service Providers for the Online Trading Facility. However, there can be no assurance about the performance and availability of such facility through the Internet, and no such
assurance is hereby made, and no assurance shall be deemed to have been made by you by virtue hereof.

q. I understand that entering an order with you, including market orders, does not guarantee execution of the order, and I agree that you shall not be responsible for any order that
is not executed. I understand that you have the right to break any executed transaction on the grounds that it was, in your opinion, "clearly erroneous". You shall not be deemed
to have received any order electronically transmitted by me until you have actual knowledge of such order. When I place a request to cancel an order, the cancellation of that
order is not guaranteed. My order will only be cancelled if my cancellation request is received by the Philippine Stock Exchange and tallied with my order before my order is
matched up or executed. During market hours, it is rarely possible to cancel my market order as market orders are subject to immediate execution. I will not assume that any
order has been executed or cancelled until I have received a transaction confirmation from you via the Website. I am aware that you, from time to time, receive late reports from
the exchange reporting the status of transactions. Accordingly, I may be subject to late reports related to orders that were previously unreported to me or reported to me as being
expired, cancelled, or executed. In addition, any reporting or posting errors, including errors in execution prices, will be corrected to reflect what actually occurred in the market
place.
r. For use of the Online Trading Facility, I will create a password to enable me to place orders and access Account information through the Website. I am the sole and exclusive
owner and the only authorized user of such password and accept sole responsibility for use, confidentiality and protection of the password as well as for all orders and information
changes (i.e., Account profile changes such as change of address, etc.) entered into my Account using such password. Any Account profile change is as good as if I signed it on
my original Customer Account Information Form (CAIF). I shall be liable for all transactions placed through the Online Trading Facility resulting from the use or misuse of my
password. I accept full responsibility for the monitoring and safeguarding of my Account(s). I will immediately notify you in writing, delivered via e-mail and registered mail, if I
become aware of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of my password and Account number; or any failure by me to receive a message from you indicating that an order was
received and executed; or any failure by me to receive an accurate written confirmation of an execution; or any receipt by me of confirmation of an order and/or execution which I
did not place; or any inaccurate information in my Account balances, securities positions, or transaction history. You shall not be liable for any transaction or losses from my

16. Joint Account (“and” Account) and Joint and Several (“or” Account). Subject to your policies, if I, the undersigned, shall consist of more than one person, the obligations and liabilities
shall be joint and several. Failure to state upon opening that an account is an “and” or “or” joint account, shall be construed to mean a joint “or” account.
Each party to a joint and several “or” account is a principal, with joint and several liability and is privileged to operate same separately and independently of the other and to withdraw all funds,
assets and securities unless otherwise specified in writing by the parties to such joint and several account.

Each party to a joint and several “or” account hereby grants authority to the other party to transact, endorse and accept on behalf of each other, money, securities and other assets of every
kind, which are originally in the sole name of one party, and after which shall become common fund of such joint and several account.

a. All money, securities, and other assets of every kind payable or deliverable under joint account may in the event of death be paid or delivered to the survivor (as joint tenant) and it is
hereby authorized that same be so paid, or the survivor may transfer the account to himself/herself, upon his/her own signature and the production of a written notice and properly
certified death certificate of the deceased party.

b. Any joint owner without right of survivorship account as specified agrees that, upon the death or disability of either party, the survivor shall immediately provide written notice of such
event to you within twenty-four (24) hours. All transactions thereafter affecting a non-survivorship account must be at the joint discretion and upon the joint signatures of the legal
representative of the affected party and the survivor. You shall not be liable for transfers, payments or other transactions that occur in my account prior to receipt of such written notice.
You shall be held harmless and free from any liability by reason of your compliance with any notice or direction mentioned in this paragraph.

If I hold this Securities Account jointly with another individual(s) under an “and” arrangement, I understand and agree that the instruction, signature and written conformity of all the other
members of my Securities Account must be given before you can act upon any transaction. The death of any one of us shall have the same effect as stated in paragraph (b) above.

17. Indemnification. I hereby release and hold you, the Company, its directors, officers and staff and/or Metrobank Group, its directors, officers and staff, free and harmless from any liabilities,
suits, actions, losses, penalties and/or damages that may arise out of my transactions with you, including but not limited to, request for release of funds in “or” and/or “and” accounts and
disclosure and authority as mentioned above and hereunder, including under FATCA, AMLA, Data Privacy Act of 2012 and other laws and regulations requiring processing/sharing/disclosure
of information and its authority to p r o c e s s / share/disclose information related to me and my Account(s) and information sent to you through e-mail and/or by electronic means and
undertakes to indemnify you, the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, assigns, successors-in-interest, for any and all costs, penalties and expenses that
the latter may incur in prosecuting and/or defending against any and all liabilities, demands, claims, actions, suit, losses or damages whatsoever that may be instituted arising from or
connected from my transactions, request for release of funds in “or” and/or “and” Account and process/sharing/disclosure of information.

18. Liability on Phishing, Spoofing and Pharming. I understand that my Account may be compromised through phishing/spoofing/pharming that will enable unauthorized person(s) to withdraw
money/transfer fund from my Account. I acknowledge my indispensable role in protecting myself from becoming a victim of phishing/spoofing/pharming. In view thereof, I undertake not to
disclose to anyone my account through any but not limited to the following means: a) Response to an e-mail requesting his/her to divulge Account or personal information via a spoof or fake
Company website; b) Use of e-mail or internet facility that has a virus/ malware infection which directs the user to a fraudulent website despite typing in a correct and legitimate website address
and through which Account or personal information has been provided.

I agree that I shall be held wholly and solely liable for any and all withdrawals from my account using my Account information through phishing/spoofing/pharming (or similar cyber-crimes).
I further agree to indemnify and hold free and harmless the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as any of its officers, directors and employees against any and all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, liabilities related to these.

19. Authority To Hold/Debit/Freeze the Account/s. I understand and agree that you, the Company, may be authorized by a lawful order of a competent court, without notice to or prior consent of
Investor, to hold/debit the Account(s) in case of erroneous transaction, fraudulent acts of whatever nature including but not limited to misrepresentation, the submission of false, forge, or
misleading documents or information and similar transactions.

interest, involving the Account, I agree that the Company may freeze/hold the Account until it is satisfied that the conflict has been resolved judicially or extra-judicially or is in receipt of a
court order directing the Company to release/dispose the funds in favor of the Account holder(s) or to any person lawfully designated by the court. In such a case, the Company will notify
me or the Account holder(s) either by phone or in writing at my/his/her designated contact information.

matters concerning my identity, nature of business and/or any other pertinent information, the Account is used for illegal activities or in any other event when the continuation of the Account
is not in the best interest of the Company, or as may be required by law(s) or regulation(s).

In an event of closure or termination by reason of my misrepresentation, the Company shall issue a cashier’s check for the balance of my Account. In an event of closure by reason of
illegal activities, the Company shall only release the balance of my Account from a lawful order of a competent court. The Company shall send by registered mail or e-mail to my last known
address or e-mail address indicated in the Company’s records, notice of the closure/termination of the Account and stating the reason(s) thereof and the manner for me to claim or obtain
from the Company the balance of my Account, if any, and an instruction to submit or return to the Company the original copy of the investment/stock certificate in my possession, if any.

However, in case of a Company-initiated closure due to, but not limited to, opening of fictitious Account, submission of falsified/fake documents, misrepresentation, etc., the Co mp an y shall
be entitled to hold the release of the funds unless and until the I n v e s t o r has submitted valid, legal and acceptable documents proving that he/she is entitled to the funds in the closed
Account.
