PEOPLESUPPORT shall not enter into any new leases in Metro Manila within a period of one (1) year after the effective date of pre-termination of the lease; provided that, PEOPLESUPPORT may only enter into a new lease in Metro Manila within the said period in the event that there is no available office space for lease in the Building. Starting with the 6th year of the Lease Term, PEOPLESUPPORT may pre-terminate the lease subject to the occurrence of all of the following conditions: 1. PEOPLESUPPORT shall provide ALI a written notice of pre-termination at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of termination; and 2. PEOPLESUPPORT shall be liable for a penalty in an amount equivalent to three (3) months' rent based on the prevailing rate. In the event that the Parties agree to an extension of the lease term, PEOPLESUPPORT may pre-terminate the lease at any time during the Page 14 Memorandum of Agreement-PeopleSupport Lease extended Lease Term by providing ALI a written notice of pre-teimination at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of termination of the Contract of Lease. ALI shall likewise have the right to pre-terminate the lease during the extended Lease Term by providing PEOPLESUPPORT written notice of pre-termination at least twenty four (24) months prior to the effective date of termination, only on the following grounds: (1) ALI shall decide to demolish the Building (or any portion thereof) and establish a new structure on the Site, or (2) ALI shall decide to sell the Site; provided that, in the event that ALI shall have obtained a firm offer to buy the Site from a third party, PEOPLESUPPORT shall be given the right of first refusal on the same; provided further, that, the terms of the right of first refusal shall be agreed upon by the Parties. In the event that ALI is not able to sell the Site before the effective date of termination of the Contract of Lease, the Parties shall discuss and negotiate on the possibility of extending the lease further on a year-to-year basis, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Contract of Lease. In the event of pre-termination by PEOPLESUPPORT of the lease over the Office Space or a portion thereof, ALI shall be free to lease the Office Space or any portion thereof the lease of which has been vacated by PEOPLESUPPORT to any prospective tenant, provided however, that in the event that PEOPLESUPPORT shall pre-terminate the lease over only a portion of the Office Space, ALI shall not lease the portion vacated by PEOPLESUPPORT to those enumerated in the list attached hereto as ANNEX C while PEOPLESUPPORT continues to occupy any portion of the Office Space as tenant. It is understood by the Parties that the list in Annex C may be updated or amended by PEOPLESUPPORT from time to time, by providing prior written notice to ALI of any such update or amendment. In the event of pre-termination by PEOPLESUPPORT of the Contract of Lease over the entire Office Space, ALI shall be free to lease the Office Space to any prospective tenant, without any prohibition. (s) Notwithstanding the provision on pre-termination in Section 2.3(r) above, commencing on the third anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, in the event of a downturn in the operation of PEOPLESUPPORT, it shall be entitled to partially reduce the area of the Leased Premises by floors subject to the same conditions as specified in Section 2.3 (r), second paragraph, governing the pre-termination of the lease commencing from the third anniversary of the Contract of Lease. (t) If the Leased Premises are totally destroyed or rendered totally unfit for the use intended by PEOPLESUPPORT, without any fault or omission of PEOPLESUPPORT, then either Party shall have the right to rescind this Contract of Lease by written notice sent to the other parry without need of any judicial action, and all deposits and rentals paid for the unexpired portion of the lease shall be returned to PEOPLESUPPORT within a reasonable period, without interest. Page 15 Memorandum of Agreement-PeopleSupport Lease In the event of a partial destruction of the Leased Premises, as mutually determined by the Parties, PEOPLESUPPORT may choose between a proportional reduction of the rent and the termination of the Contract of Lease. It shall be the duty of ALI to repair at its expense, within a reasonable time as agreed upon by the Parties, any damage to the Leased Premises arising without the fault or omission of PEOPLESUPPORT, and to render the same fit for the use intended by PEOPLESUPPORT. 2.4 OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE TERM. At the beginning of the ninth year of the Lease Term, ALI shall inform PEOPLESUPPORT in writing of whether or not it shall grant PEOPLESUPPORT the option to extend the Lease Term for another period of five (5) years. In turn, if PEOPLESUPPORT is granted the option to extend the Lease Term, PEOPLESUPPORT shall inform ALI in writing not less than six (6) months before the end of the initial Lease Term whether or not PEOPLESUPPORT shall exercise its option to extend the Lease Term by another period of five (5) years; provided that, any extension of the Lease Term shall be under the same terms and conditions as the Contract of Lease. In the event that the Parties agree to extend the Lease Term for another period of five (5) years, the Parties shall conduct a rent review to determine the monthly rent due for the first year of the renewed term; provided that the rent due for the first year of the renewed term shall be based on the average prevailing market lease rate of comparable ALI-owned buildings in Makati (e.g. Makati Stock Exchange Building); provided further that any increase or decrease in the rent due for the first year of the renewed term shall not exceed 10% of the rent in the last year of the Lease Term; provided further that the rental rate for the next four years of the renewed term shall be increased at the following rates per annum over the then-prevailing monthly rental rate:
Period Covered Rate Increase - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 12 Eleventh anniversary of the Day prior to the twelfth 5% Lease Commencement Date anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date Year 13 Twelfth anniversary of the Day prior to the thirteenth 5% Lease Commencement Date anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date Year 14 Thirteenth anniversary of the Day prior to the fourteenth 9% Lease Commencement Date anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date Year 15 Fourteenth anniversary of the Expiration of the Lease 9% Lease Commencement Date Term
Page 16 Memorandum of Agreement-PeopleSupport Lease However, in the event that the monthly rent due for the last year of the Lease Term based on the escalation rates herein specified is higher by more than ten percent (10%) than the prevailing market monthly lease rate of comparable ALI-owned buildings in Makati (e.g. Makati Stock Exchange), as determined by an third-party property consultant acceptable to both Parties, then the monthly rental rates for the extended Lease Term shall be adjusted as follows:
Period Covered Rate Adjustment - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 11 Tenth anniversary of the Day prior to the Decrease by Lease Commencement Date eleventh anniversary of 10% the Lease Commencement Date Year 12 Eleventh anniversary of the Day prior to the Decrease by Lease Commencement Date twelfth anniversary of 5% the Lease Commencement Date Year 13 Twelfth anniversary of the Day prior to the Increase by Lease Commencement Date thirteenth anniversary 5% of the Lease Commencement Date Year 14 Thirteenth anniversary of the Day prior to the Increase by Lease Commencement Date fourteenth anniversary 9% of the Lease Commencement Date Year 15 Fourteenth anniversary of Expiration of the Lease Increase by the Lease Commencement Term 9% Date

The aggregate amount of the foregoing payments shall be applied as rent for the last three (3) months of the Lease Term. The amount of advance rental shall at all times be maintained at an amount equivalent to three (3) months' rent at the prevailing rates, and shall be increased correspondingly as the rental rates increase. (b) The Security Deposit in an amount equivalent to three (3) months' rent for both the Office Space and the Office Parking Slot, based on the monthly rental rates prevailing for the first year of the Lease Term, in the aggregate amounts of [Php]18,643,650.00 for the Office Space and [Php]837,900.00 for the Office Parking Slots, shall be paid in three (3) equal installments as follows: 1.

In the event that ALI is unable to complete the construction of the Building and turn over the Office Space to PEOPLESUPPORT by April 15, 2005 due to causes directly attributable to ALI or its designated Contractor (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude events constituting force majeure, acts of government and other events occurring during construction which are beyond the control of ALI, or events not due to ALI's acts which cause the non-compliance by ALI of its undertakings), PEOPLESUPPORT shall have the right either to compel the Page 18 Memorandum of Agreement-PeopleSupport Lease performance by ALI to complete the construction of the Building or, upon prior written notice to ALI, rescind this MOA and the Contract Of Lease. In case of rescission of this MOA and the Contract of Lease to be entered into by the Parties, by PEOPLESUPPORT, ALI shall have the obligation to return to PEOPLESUPPORT any and all payments made by PEOPLESUPPORT to ALI as of the date of rescission, without interest.

In the event that PEOPLESUPPORT shall exercise its right to compel the performance by ALI to complete the construction of the Building, the effectivity date of the lease and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deferred to a date agreed upon by the Parties. In addition to the foregoing rights of PEOPLESUPPORT to seek a rescission of the MOA and the Contract of Lease or to require specific performance by ALI to complete the construction of the Building, PEOPLESUPPORT shall be entitled to damages from ALI. It is agreed that the liability of ALI for damages shall be limited to the payment by ALI of the following amounts, at the option of ALI: (a) The difference between the monthly rent agreed upon by the Parties herein and the monthly rent actually paid by PEOPLESUPPORT, both to be computed for the period commencing on August 1, 2005 and ending on the date on which PEOPLESUPPORT shall have completed the tenant fit-out on the Office Space as provided in Section 1.3, subject to the following conditions: (i) ALI shall only be liable for such rate differential for a period not exceeding six (6) months; (ii) ALI shall only be liable for an amount not exceeding [Php]4,637,290.50 per month; and (iii) In any event, ALI's liability shall be limited to [Php]27,823,743.00.

At least six (6) months before February 1, 2005, ALI shall notify PEOPLESUPPORT in writing as to whether or not it shall be able to complete the construction of the Building by April 15, 2005. It is further agreed by the Parties that such limited liability shall only apply to instances of failure to deliver the Building or the Leased Premises that are not intentional. However, if it is proven that such failure to deliver is intentional, ALI shall be liable for all actual and consequent damages that PEOPLESUPPORT shall actually incur. 3.2 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH UNDERTAKINGS. The failure by PEOPLESUPPORT to perform any of its undertakings under this MOA (other than due to force majeure or events not due to PEOPLESUPPORT's acts or fault, or due to events beyond the control of PEOPLESUPPORT) ALI shall have the right, upon prior written notice to PEOPLESUPPORT, to rescind this Agreement. In case of rescission of this Agreement by ALI, ALI shall forfeit in its favor all payments made by PEOPLESUPPORT as of the date of rescission, including the advance rental and Security Deposit.
