PART II. RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Prior to making an investment, BPI Wealth / BII / BPI hereby informs you of the nature of investments and
the inherent risks involved in investing. As investments generally carry different degrees of risks, it is
necessary that before making any investment, you should have:

• Fully understood the nature of the investment and the extent of your exposure to risks;
• Read this Risk Disclosure Statement completely; and
• Independently determined that the investment is appropriate for you.

We wish to highlight that investment funds, such as UITFs and Mutual Funds, are likewise subject to risks.
Their value may decline or appreciate depending on the fund’s Net Asset Value per Unit/Share
("NAVPU/NAVPS") which may fluctuate daily. The NAVPU/NAVPS is computed by dividing the Net Asset
Value ("NAV") of the investment fund by the number of its outstanding shares/units. The NAV is derived
from the summation of the market value of the underlying securities of the investment fund plus accrued
interest income less liabilities and qualified expenses. It is understood that investment funds, trust,
investment management, and other fiduciary accounts are not deposit products and are not covered by the
Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (“PDIC”).

INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES DOES NOT PROVIDE GUARANTEED RETURNS. THEIR VALUE MAY
DECLINE OR APPRECIATE DEPENDING ON PREVAILING MARKET CIRCUMSTANCES. EVEN FOR
INVESTMENT FUNDS THAT ARE INVESTED IN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES AND HIGH-GRADE
PRIME INVESTMENT OUTLETS, THE PRINCIPAL AND EARNINGS FROM SUCH INVESTMENTS CAN
BE LOST IN WHOLE OR IN PART WHEN THE NAVPU/NAVPS AT THE TIME OF REDEMPTION IS
LOWER THAN THE NAVPU/NAVPS AT THE TIME OF PARTICIPATION. GAINS FROM THE
INVESTMENT IS REALIZED WHEN THE NAVPU/NAVPS AT THE TIME OF REDEMPTION IS HIGHER
THAN THE NAVPU/NAVPS AT THE TIME OF PARTICIPATION.

Enumerated and defined below are the various risks to which you are normally exposed when investing,
depending on the type of underlying securities lodged in your investment portfolio (hereinafter, “Portfolio").
Unit Investment Trust Funds and Mutual Funds (hereinafter, “Investment Fund” or “Investment Funds”) are
likewise subject to these risks.

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 2 of 16

Interest Rate Risk
This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to changes in interest rates. The purchase
and sale of a debt instrument may result in profit or loss because the value of a debt instrument changes
inversely with prevailing interest rates.

Interest rate changes may affect the prices of fixed income securities inversely, i.e., as interest rates rise,
bond prices fall and when interest rates decline, bond prices rise. In this regard, the NAVPU/NAVPS of
investment funds invested in fixed income instruments may also adjust and decline when there is a rise in
interest rates.

Market/Price Risk
This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to changes in market prices of securities
(e.g., bonds and equities). It is the exposure to the uncertain market value of a Portfolio/Fund due to price
fluctuations.

It is the risk of the Portfolio/Fund to lose value due to a decline in securities prices, which may sometimes
happen rapidly or unpredictably. The value of investments fluctuates over a given time period because of
general market conditions, economic changes or other events that impact large portions of the market such
as political events, natural calamities, etc. As a result, the value of a Portfolio/Fund may increase to make
profit or decrease to incur loss.

Liquidity Risk
This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to the inability to sell or convert assets into
cash immediately or in instances where conversion to cash is possible but at a loss. These may be caused
by different reasons such as trading in securities with small or few outstanding issues, absence of buyers,
limited buy/sell activity or underdeveloped capital market.

Liquidity risk occurs when certain securities in a Portfolio/Fund may be difficult or impossible to sell at a
particular time which may prevent the redemption or withdrawal of the investment. Even government
securities which are the most liquid of fixed income securities may be subjected to liquidity risk particularly
if a sizeable volume is involved.

Credit Risk/Default Risk

This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to a borrower’s failure to pay principal and/or
interest in a timely manner on instruments such as bonds, loans, or other forms of security which the
borrower issued. This inability of the borrower to make good on its financial obligations may have resulted
from adverse changes in its financial condition thus, lowering credit quality of the security, and consequently
lowering the price (market/price risk) which contributes to the difficulty in selling such security. It also
includes risk on a counterparty (a party with which BPI Wealth trades/transacts) defaulting on a contract to
deliver its obligation either in cash or securities.

This is the risk of losing value in a Portfolio/Fund in the event the borrower defaults on his obligation or in
the case of counterparty, when it fails to deliver on the agreed trade. This decline in the value of a
Portfolio/Fund happens because the default/failure would make the price of the security go down and may
make the security difficult to sell.

Reinvestment Risk
This is the risk associated with the possibility of having lower returns when maturing funds or interest
earnings of a Portfolio/Fund are reinvested.

Investors who withdraw/redeem and realize their gains run the risk of reinvesting their funds in an alternative
investment outlet with lower yields. Similarly, there is the risk of not being able to find good or better
alternative investment outlets as some of the securities in a Portfolio/Fund matures.

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 3 of 16

In case of a foreign-currency denominated Portfolio/Fund or a peso-denominated investment
Portfolio/Fund that is allowed to invest in securities denominated in currencies other than its base
currency, the Portfolio/Fund is also exposed to the following risks.

Foreign Exchange Risk

This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The
exchange rates depend upon a variety of global and local factors, e.g., interest rates, economic
performance, and political developments.

It is the risk of a Portfolio/Fund to currency fluctuations when the value of investments in securities
denominated in currencies other than the base currency of a Portfolio/Fund depreciates. Conversely, it is
the risk of a Portfolio/Fund to lose value when its base currency appreciates. Specifically for Funds invested
in foreign-currency denominated securities, their NAVPU/NAVPS may decrease to incur loss when the
Philippine Peso appreciates.

Country Risk
This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses arising from investments in securities issued by/in
foreign countries due to the political, economic and social structures of such countries. There are risks in
foreign investments due to the possible internal and external conflicts, currency devaluations, foreign
ownership limitations and tax increases of the foreign country involved which are difficult to predict but must
be taken into account in making such investments.

Likewise, brokerage commissions and other fees may be higher in foreign securities. Government
supervision and regulation of foreign stock exchanges, currency markets, trading systems and brokers may
be less than those in the Philippines. The procedures and rules governing foreign transactions and custody
of securities may also involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of investments.

Index-Tracking Risk
Specifically for index-tracker investment funds, this is the risk that the fund does not match or achieve a
high degree of correlation with the return of an index because of operating and other fund-management
related expenses.

Other Risks
A Portfolio/Fund may be further exposed to the risk of any actual or potential conflicts of interest in
the handling of in-house or related party transactions by BPI Wealth. These transactions may include
parent/affiliate-bank deposits; purchase of own-institution or affiliate obligations (stocks, mortgages);
purchase of assets from or sales to own institution, directors, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates or other related
interests/parties; or purchases or sales between fiduciary/managed accounts.

For complex investment products, said instruments can be subject to sudden and sharp falls in market
value such that you may lose your entire investment and extra funding may be required, as necessary.

PART III. OMNIBUS AGREEMENT

I/We (the “TRUSTOR/INVESTOR”), through this Omnibus Agreement (the “AGREEMENT”), hereby
participate in the Unit Investment Trust Funds and/or Mutual Funds (each, a “FUND” and
collectively, the “FUNDS”), managed by BPI Asset Management and Trust Corporation, doing
business under the trade name and style of BPI Wealth – A Trust Corporation, (“BPI WEALTH” or
the “TRUSTEE/MANAGER”), now existing or to be offered in the future, for the collective investment
and re-investment of sums of money received and held by BPI WEALTH as trustee/manager. For
ABF Philippines Bond Index Fund (“ABF PBIF”), a Unit Investment Trust Fund likewise constituted
by BPI WEALTH, it is acknowledged that Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited
(“HSBC”) has agreed to act as trustee by virtue of the relevant Trust Deed.

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 4 of 16

It is understood that upon signing of the AGREEMENT, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR undertakes to consider
this AGREEMENT as the uniform/consolidated arrangement which shall govern all types of FUNDS
managed by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER.

In case the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR decides to subsequently subscribe to any FUND managed by the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER, the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT shall prevail. This AGREEMENT
shall govern all FUNDS managed by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER, and the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s
participation therein, now existing or which may hereinafter be obtained.

It is expressly understood and agreed that this AGREEMENT is subject to the Rules and Regulations of the
relevant FUND (the “PLAN”). This AGREEMENT does not, and neither does it purport to, amend or modify
the PLAN to which the investment pertains, which the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby acknowledges to have
read and fully understood and confirms his acceptance and agreement to all the terms and conditions
contained therein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR fully agrees to the following:

PART A. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. AUTHORITIES OF THE PARTIES

TRUSTEE/MANAGER – The TRUSTEE/MANAGER shall exercise absolute control, direction, and

management of the FUND, and shall administer the FUND within the framework of the policies set forth in
the PLAN and such other policies that the TRUSTEE/MANAGER may from time to time adopt pursuant to
the FUND’s objectives. Each FUND shall be invested in a diversified portfolio concentrated in investment
outlets within each FUND’s specific investment policy and objectives as individually contained in each
PLAN.

For ABF PBIF, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby confirms the power and authorities of BPI WEALTH as
MANAGER and HSBC as trustee, and ratifies any and all acts, which they shall deem fit and necessary for
the protection of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR acknowledges that the
MANAGER and HSBC shall at all times comply with the relevant Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (“BSP”) rules
and regulations, save to the extent waived by BSP, as if the same were set out in the PLAN and insofar as
the BSP rules and regulations respectively relate to them.

A list of prospective and/or outstanding investments requiring disclosure shall be made available and shall
be updated quarterly.

2. FUND VALUATION – The investments in the FUND shall be valued using the valuation method
respectively defined in the PLAN, which shall be in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations
governing the FUND. A performance review of the FUND shall be prepared on a quarterly basis.

3. CLIENT SUITABILITY – Prior to the acceptance of participation, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall

undergo a Client Suitability Assessment, using a document referred to as such, which shall be
acknowledged and signed by the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR. For investments in the FUND, the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR confirms that he has read and understood the general features of the FUND as
contained in the PLAN, with risk classification corresponding to his risk profile, and has made an informed
decision to invest or consider future investments in the FUND.

4. DISCLOSURE OF RISK – Prior to the acceptance of participation, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall have
completely read, understood and acknowledged the Risk Disclosure Statement, posted at the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER’s website and/or the Mutual Fund Company’s website and/or attached hereto, and

investing in the FUND. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR may clarify the Risk Disclosure Statement with the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR.

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 5 of 16

5. JOINT TRUSTOR/INVESTOR ACCOUNTS – Designation of a joint account as an “AND” account shall
be made by all the holders of the joint account who shall, and agree to, be co-trustors/co-investors. The
operation of and redemption of the FUND under such joint account must be signed or authorized by all the
co-trustors/co-investors. In case of “OR” accounts, it is agreed that any one of the co-trustors/co-investors
is authorized to operate the FUND, including any redemption.

The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR declares, for each transaction, under the penalties of perjury that his co-
trustor/co-investor is still living. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR also declares that this AGREEMENT, and each
transaction, is made with the full knowledge and consent of his co-trustor/co-investor.

The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby agrees that in case where there are two (2) or more individual
trustors/investors, the risk profile of the PRIMARY TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall be the basis of the
applicable profiling and financial planning discipline. The Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”)/Suitable
Product List and Risk Disclosure Statement (“RDS”) of the PRIMARY TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall be
binding on all the other trustors/investors.

6. MANNER OF PARTICIPATION – Every transaction of a TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall be made through

the purchase of shares of stocks/units of participation, where shares of stocks are purchased in whole
numbers, arrived at by dividing the transaction amount by the applicable Net Asset Value per Share (the
“NAVPS”) or the applicable Net Asset Value per unit (the “NAVPU”). New contributions to the FUND shall
serve to increase the FUND’s total outstanding shares/units. Conversely, any redemption out of the FUND
serves to decrease the FUND’s total outstanding shares/units. A TRUSTOR/INVESTOR only has an
undivided interest in the FUND in proportion to his holdings.

7. SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT – Every INVESTMENT ACCOUNT shall have a designated current or savings
account of the same currency as the FUND (the “SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT”), which the amount of the
contribution to be made shall be debited and the proceeds of redemption shall be credited. The
SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT may be opened with the Bank of the Philippine Islands (“BPI”) and shall be
owned by, and in the name of, at least one of the TRUSTORS/INVESTORS of the INVESTMENT
ACCOUNT.

The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby represents and warrants that all the accountholders of the
SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT are aware of, and have consented to, the nomination of the said current or
savings account as the SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR acknowledges
understands, accepts, and is fully aware of, the risks involved in, and the consequences and implications
of, nominating the SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT, which may not necessarily bear the same accountholders as
the INVESTMENT ACCOUNT, and where all contributions/subscriptions shall be debited and where all
proceeds from withdrawals/redemptions will be credited, such as but not limited to those arising from, or in
connection with, the nature, features, and operational aspects of maintaining and operating joint deposit
accounts.

As and when necessary, required or applicable, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby waives all his rights
under existing privacy and confidentiality laws on bank deposits, more particularly the nominated
SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT, insofar as the operation of the INVESTMENT ACCOUNT is concerned.

8. MANNER OF ADMISSION/CONTRIBUTION – Participation in the FUND shall be allowed on the basis

of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of each participation share/unit, net of applicable sales load, and shall not
be less than the Minimum Participation Amount as indicated in the PLAN. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s
investment in the FUND shall be expressed in terms of number of shares of stock/units of participation as
appearing in the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s Confirmation of Participation/Transaction Advice.

The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby authorizes the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR to

cause the debiting and/or crediting of his SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT as needed to service his FUND
transactions. Settlement of contributions shall be in accordance with what is indicated in the PLAN of the
FUND. For the effective and efficient management of the FUND, the TRUSTEE/MANAGER has set, and

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 6 of 16

has the option to change from time to time, the minimum amount for initial and additional contributions into
the FUND as stated in the PLAN and/or in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Subsequent contributions of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR in the FUND are subject to a Minimum Additional
Participation Amount as indicated in the PLAN and/or in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and shall result to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s additional proportionate interest in the FUND.
The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR agrees that the changes thereof shall be subject to prevailing laws, rules, and
regulations and/or the internal guidelines of the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR.

9. MANNER OF REDEMPTION – Redemption from the FUND shall be computed on the basis of the
applicable NAVPS/NAVPU on the day the redemption is effected. Redemptions from the FUND shall result
in the reduction of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s proportionate interest in the FUND. Such reductions shall
be expressed in shares/units based on the NAVPS/NAVPU. For Mutual Funds, proceeds of the redemption,
net of any applicable redemption fee, shall be paid out not later than seven (7) business days from the date
of receipt of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR instruction by the MANAGER.

For the effective management of the FUND, the TRUSTEE/MANAGER has set, and has the option to
change from time to time, the minimum amount for partial redemptions, the minimum holding period (and
applicable redemption fee), and the required minimum maintaining balance in the FUND as stated in the
PLAN and/or in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Should a redemption result to the
investment in the FUND falling below the required minimum maintaining balance, the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR shall automatically close the account without need of
prior notification to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR, in which case, the entire balance of the FUND shall be paid
through credit to the SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT or by check, as may be applicable, based on the applicable
NAVPS/NAVPU for the day multiplied by the number of remaining holdings. Settlement of redemptions shall
be in accordance with what is stated in the PLAN and/or in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and
regulations. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR agrees that the changes thereof shall be subject to prevailing laws,
rules, and regulations and/or the TRUSTEE/MANAGER’s and/or the DISTRIBUTOR’s internal guidelines.

The TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR reserves the right to require from the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR that written notice of redemption from the FUND be delivered in advance within the
number of days specified in the PLAN. This required notice may be shortened or extended at the sole
discretion of the TRUSTEE/MANAGER depending upon the investment and liquidity position of the FUND
and the frequency and volume of requests for redemptions received by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER at any
given time. Such notice may be made by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER by way of direct written notice to each
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR or through the publication of announcement in the TRUSTEE/MANAGER’s own
website and/or the FUND’s own website, posting of notices in the premises of the Head Office of the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER, or posting/sending of notices in the approved platforms of all duly accredited
distribution channels at least three (3) business days before the implementation of such requirement.

The TRUSTEE/MANAGER also reserves the right to impose such other requirements or restrictions
applicable to any redemption from the FUND depending on market conditions and as circumstances shall
necessitate, for the preservation and/or benefit of the FUND and the investors.

10. EVIDENCE OF PARTICIPATION – Contributions of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR into the FUND shall be
evidenced by a separate Transaction Advice issued by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER or the FUND through the
MANAGER or the DISTRIBUTOR for this purpose. The TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR
reserves the right to require prior endorsement or surrender of any evidence of participation issued by the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER upon full or partial redemption of units. Notwithstanding requirement for
endorsement/surrender, mere possession of the evidence of participation shall not be presumed or deemed
as proof of non-payment of the redemption. For any dispute regarding non-payment, the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR should submit evidence that the SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT was not credited.

11. COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICES – All communications and notices from the TRUSTEE/MANAGER
and/or the DISTRIBUTOR shall be in writing and delivered using the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s address or

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 7 of 16

contact details appearing in the records of, or permissible information made available to, the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR, unless a written notice of change of address or contact
details is received by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR five (5) business days prior to
the delivery of any communication or notice to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER
and/or the DISTRIBUTOR. All communication and notices from the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the
DISTRIBUTOR shall be deemed to have been duly received by the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR on (a) the date
of receipt if delivered personally; (b) the date that is ten (10) business days after the date of posting, if
transmitted by mail, or five (5) business days after delivery to the courier; (c) upon sending or transmission,
if transmitted by facsimile, mail or other mode of electronic transmission; (d) the date of publication, if
published in a newspaper of general circulation; and in either case, whichever shall first occur as applicable.
It is further agreed that all communications sent to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall be conclusive as to
their correctness in the absence of any written objection received by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the
DISTRIBUTOR within twenty-four (24) hours from receipt thereof.

The electronic transmission of any document or communication cannot be guaranteed to be secure or virus
or error-free or that a document or attachment that is electronically transmitted could not be intercepted,
corrupted, lost, destroyed, delayed, incomplete or adversely affected or unsafe to use. The
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR recognizes that systems and procedures cannot be a guarantee that transmissions
will be unaffected by such hazards. However, the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR confirms (i) full acceptance of
these risks, (ii) agreement to use commercially reasonable procedures to check for the most commonly
known viruses before receiving documents or communication electronically, and (iii) authorizes the use of
electronic communications with the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR. The
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR will be responsible for protecting its own systems and interests in relation to
electronic communications sent to it, and the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR will have
no liability whatsoever to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR on any basis, whether in contract, tort (including
negligence) or otherwise, in respect of any error, damage, loss or omission arising from the interception,
corruption, loss, destruction, late or incomplete arrival of the document or communication.

12. CUT-OFF TIME PER TRANSACTION – For the effective and efficient management of the FUND, the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER shall set, and shall retain the option to change from time to time rules such as the
cut-off times and value dates for each type of transaction. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR agrees that the
changes thereof shall be subject to prevailing laws, rules, and regulations and/or the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER’s and/or the DISTRIBUTOR’s internal guidelines.

13. INVESTMENTS OF THE FUND – The FUND shall be invested and reinvested without distinction as to
principal or income in investments provided for under the PLAN which contains the investment guidelines
of the FUND.

14. DISTRIBUTION OF FUND EARNINGS – The total income of the FUND shall be allocated to the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR in proportion to the latter’s share/unit holdings for each FUND. The unrealized
income of each of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR is the difference between the prevailing NAVPS/NAVPU over
the average acquisition cost of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s shares/units, multiplied by the number of
shares/units held by the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR. Actual distribution or realization of income occurs when
redemption of shares/units is made to the extent of the number of shares/units redeemed. Further, the
FUND may declare dividends from time to time in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

15. REPORTS – A Statement of Account (“SOA”) shall be made available to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR at
least once every quarter. The SOA shall consist, among others, of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s summary
of investments showing the number of shares/units of participation in each FUND, the total cost and market
value thereof, the unrealized income or loss, and a transactions activity report showing contributions and
redemptions made during the period covered.

16. CLIENT INSTRUCTIONS – The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR may instruct, send or give orders or directions
directly to the TRUSTEE/MANAGER or through the DISTRIBUTOR, whether original written instructions,

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 8 of 16

oral or otherwise through telephone, facsimile, e-mail or through any means or medium. The
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby authorizes the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR to accept,
rely upon, and act on, email instructions regarding the FUND it receives from the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR
using the official email addresses and contact details registered with the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the
DISTRIBUTOR, its parent or its affiliates. The TRUSTEE/MANAGER shall be authorized to rely and execute
any such instructions from the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR to purchase or redeem shares/units based on the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER’s and/or the DISTRIBUTOR’s internal control, procedures and policies, which it in
good faith believes to be legitimate. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR hereby expressly confirms that the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR may use or otherwise install voice recording procedures
in communicating with or when taking instructions, such as to purchase or redeem shares/units, from the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR. Any such voice record will constitute conclusive evidence of the instructions or
communications so recorded.

The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR authorizes the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR to accept, rely
upon, and act on, documents signed by the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR electronically, pursuant to Republic Act
No. 8792 (Electronic Commerce Act of 2000) and other similar laws or regulations. The
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR agrees that his electronic signature shall constitute an original for all purposes and
shall have the same legally binding force and effect as his handwritten signature.

The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR agrees to hold the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR, free and
harmless and indemnified from and against any and all liabilities, demands, actions, costs, expenses,
damages, claims, losses or dispute of whatever nature or description, which may be suffered or incurred
by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR, pursuant to, arising from, or in connection with
the acceptance of, acting upon, any such instructions, whether or not in fact given by the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR, and implementation of such instructions. The TRUSTOR/INVESTOR shall defend
the rights and interests of the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR in any and all causes of
action, claims, and demands including substitution of the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR
as defendant or plaintiff in any case or proceedings pursuant to, arising from, or in connection with, the
acceptance of, or acting upon, any such instructions and the implementation of the instructions. The
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s indemnity obligation hereunder with respect to acts performed by the
TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR in accordance with the Instructions shall survive the
termination or revocation of this authorization or the AGREEMENT.

17. TAXES, EXPENSES, FEES – The TRUSTEE/MANAGER is authorized to incur and deduct from the
FUND all taxes relative to the acquisition and disposition of investments and special expenses it incurs
(including but not limited to audit and legal fees, documentary stamps, etc.) in the administration and
management of the FUND, which special expenses are necessary to preserve or enhance the value of the
FUND, provided that such special expenses shall be payable to a third party, covered by a separate
contract, and disclosed to the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR.

The TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR recommends that the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR

obtains independent advice on tax issues associated with investments of the FUND.

In consideration of services rendered herein, the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR shall
collect on every valuation date trust/management fee and/or distribution fees based on the
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s proportionate share of the NAV of the FUND, net of taxes based on a schedule
separately prepared by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER which in no case shall exceed the specific limit provided
under the FUND’s respective PLAN. The trust/management fee and/or distribution fees for each FUND is
disclosed in the Key Information and Investment Disclosure Statement (“KIIDS”) of the same.

The FUND shall be entitled to collect an Early Redemption Fee based on the amount redeemed, in
accordance with the PLAN.

BPI Investment Fund Account Terms 06012024 Page 9 of 16

For ABF PBIF, apart from the management fee due to BPI WEALTH, trustee fees shall likewise be collected
by HSBC as trustee.

18. LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE/MANAGER – Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be construed as a guaranty

of return or income; nor does it entitle the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR to a fixed rate of return on the money
invested for him in the FUND by the TRUSTEE/MANAGER and/or the DISTRIBUTOR.

It is understood that the FUND is not a deposit product and thus, is not covered by the PDIC and
that losses, if any, shall be for the account of the TRUSTOR/INVESTOR.

The TRUSTEE/MANAGER shall administer and manage the FUND with the skill, care and prudence
required of it by law and the regulations. The TRUSTEE/MANAGER shall not be liable for any loss or
depreciation in the value of the FUND, or in the value of the FUND, or in the value of
TRUSTOR/INVESTOR’s shares/units, arising from any act done by TRUSTEE/MANAGER pursuant to the
