my employment; (B) during my employment and relating to the actual or anticipated business or research or development

by operation of law, I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to assign to the Company, and agree to waive in favor
of the Company, any and all Intellectual Property Rights and other rights, title and interest that I may have or acquire in
such Proprietary Information.

At all times, both during my employment and after its termination, I will keep confidential and will not use or disclose any
Proprietary Information or anything relating to it without the prior written consent of a duly authorized officer of the
Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the duties of my employment.

I agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or

notice of such disclosure requirement to the Company and assist the Company in obtaining a protective order or other
appropriate remedy from the proper authority. I agree that if the Company is unable to obtain the protective order or other
appropriate remedy in a timely manner and I 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.

D. Disclosure of Inventions

I will promptly disclose in writing to the Group's legal department all Inventions made or discovered or conceived or reduced
to practice or developed by me, either alone or jointly with others: (A) in the course of my employment; (B) during my
employment and relating to the actual or anticipated business or research or development of the Company or any other
Group Member; or (C) with the use of any Proprietary Information or any of the Company's or any other Group Member's
time, material or facilities.

I will also disclose to the Group's legal department all Inventions made, discovered, conceived, reduced to practice, or
developed by me within six (6) months after the termination of my employment. Such disclosures will be received in
confidence (to the extent such Inventions are not assigned to the Company under Section (F) below) and do not extend the
assignment made in Section (F) below.

I will also promptly inform the Group's legal department if I file any patent applications either alone or in conjunction with
others within a six (6) month period after the end of my employment with the Company.

E. Maintenance and Return of Group Documents and Materials

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, or during my employment if so requested by a Group Member, I will return

anticipated business or research or development of the Company or any other Group Member; or (C) with the use of any
Proprietary Information or any of the Company's or any other Group Member's time, material or facilities, will be the sole

to apply in its own name for the registration of patents and/or any other Intellectual Property Right with respect to any and
all such Inventions. I agree that my wages are full and adequate compensation for my services and for any and all of such
Inventions.

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 other works of authorship, will belong to the

to assign to the Company, and agree to waive in favor of the Company any and all rights (including Intellectual Property
Rights), title and interest that I may have or acquire in connection with such Inventions. If in the course of my employment,
I incorporate into a Group Member's product, process or machine an existing Invention owned by me or in which I have an
interest, I hereby grant the relevant Group Member a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable,
worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use, market, sell and distribute such existing Invention as part of or in
connection with such product, process or machine. Where such existing Inventions are owned by me jointly with others, I
represent and warrant that I will have secured or will procure, at no additional cost to the Company, the agreement of the
other owner(s) 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 to be assigned, or,
in relation to an existing Invention, licensed to the Company, under this Agreement. I acknowledge and agree that such
records will be Group Documents and Materials.

2. Cooperation
I agree to perform, during and after my employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the 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 forth above in this Subsection (2), with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by me.

3. Moral Rights
Any assignment of copyright under this agreement (and any ownership of a copyright as a work made pursuant to an
employer-employee relationship) includes all rights of paternity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be
known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights"). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned
under applicable law and to the extent the 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.

Inventions") and that I wish to remove from the operation of this Agreement, and I acknowledge and agree that such list is
complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement, I represent that I have no Prior Inventions at the time of signing
this Agreement.
I acknowledge that if I give permission for a Prior Invention or a part thereof to be incorporated into any 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
I agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provisions
will be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so
excluded and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

I. Authorization to Notify New Employer


I authorize the Company to notify my new employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement following the
termination of my employment.

J. Entire Agreement
This Agreement and my employment agreement set out the entire agreement and understanding between the Company
and me relating to my employment and merge all prior discussions between us, including but not limited to any and all
statements made by any officer, employee or representative of any Group Member regarding any Group Member's financial

effective unless in writing signed by a member of the Group's legal department and me. I understand and agree that any
subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

K. Effective Date

assigns and administrators and will inure to the benefit of the Group Members, their 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 Agreement.

L. Further Assignment

the Company, to any other Group Member, of any of the rights, titles and interests (including Intellectual Property Rights)
assigned by me to the Company under this Agreement.

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

Retirement Plan

The retirement plan is designed to secure your future as you help make the health system work better for everyone. Eligible
employees are automatically enrolled in the program. The plan rewards tenure, encourages voluntary contribution, and
commitment in doing your life’s best work.

salary of employees whose tenure is 2 years and 1 day.
