1. Introduction<br />

Document<br />

Ethical business conduct is critical to <strong>TIBCO</strong>’s business. As a <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>, you are<br />

responsible for respecting <strong>and</strong> adhering to this <strong>Policy</strong>. Many <strong>of</strong> these practices reflect<br />

legal or regulatory requirements. Local laws may in some instances be less restrictive<br />

than the principles set forth in this <strong>Policy</strong>. In those situations, <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s are<br />

expected to comply with the <strong>Policy</strong>, even if the conduct would otherwise be legal under<br />

applicable laws. If local laws are more restrictive than the <strong>Policy</strong>, <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s are<br />

expected to, at a minimum, comply with applicable local laws.<br />

2. <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s, Contractors, Suppliers <strong>and</strong> Vendors<br />

<strong>TIBCO</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s are contractors, suppliers <strong>and</strong> vendors, or other third parties<br />

hired by <strong>TIBCO</strong> as independent contractors, <strong>and</strong> who make significant contributions to<br />

<strong>TIBCO</strong>’s success. To create an environment where <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s have an incentive<br />

to work with <strong>TIBCO</strong>, <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s must be confident that they will be treated lawfully<br />

<strong>and</strong> in an ethical manner. <strong>TIBCO</strong>’s policy is to purchase supplies, products <strong>and</strong> services<br />

based on need, quality, service, price <strong>and</strong> terms <strong>and</strong> conditions. <strong>TIBCO</strong> expects its<br />

<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s to conduct their business in the same manner.<br />

3. Applicable Laws<br />

<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules <strong>and</strong> regulatory<br />

orders. <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s located outside <strong>of</strong> the United States must comply with laws,<br />

regulations, rules <strong>and</strong> regulatory orders <strong>of</strong> the United States, including the Foreign<br />

Corrupt Practices Act <strong>and</strong> the U.S. Export Control Act, in addition to applicable local laws.<br />

<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> must acquire appropriate knowledge <strong>of</strong> the requirements relating to his<br />

or her duties sufficient to enable him or her to recognize potential dangers <strong>and</strong> to know<br />

when to seek advice from their own legal counsel on specific <strong>TIBCO</strong> policies <strong>and</strong><br />

procedures. Violations <strong>of</strong> laws, regulations, rules <strong>and</strong> orders may subject <strong>Service</strong><br />

<strong>Provider</strong> agents or employees to individual criminal or civil liability, as well as legal or<br />

other action by <strong>TIBCO</strong>.<br />

4. Obligations Under Securities Laws<br />

4.1. Insider Trading<br />

Obligations under the U.S. securities laws apply to everyone. In the normal course <strong>of</strong><br />

business, <strong>TIBCO</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s may come into possession <strong>of</strong> significant, sensitive<br />

information. This information is the property <strong>of</strong> <strong>TIBCO</strong>–you have been entrusted with it.<br />

You may not pr<strong>of</strong>it from it by buying or selling securities yourself, or passing on the<br />

information to others to enable them to pr<strong>of</strong>it or for them to pr<strong>of</strong>it on your behalf. The<br />

purpose <strong>of</strong> this policy is both to inform you <strong>of</strong> your legal responsibilities <strong>and</strong> to make clear<br />
