to you that the misuse <strong>of</strong> sensitive information is contrary to <strong>TIBCO</strong> policy <strong>and</strong> U.S.<br />

securities laws.<br />

4.2. Prohibition Against Short Selling <strong>of</strong> Company Stock<br />

No <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> may, directly or indirectly, sell any equity security, including<br />

derivatives, <strong>of</strong> the <strong>TIBCO</strong> if he or she (i) does not own the security sold, or (ii) if he or she<br />

owns the security, does not deliver it against such sale (a "short sale against the box")<br />

within twenty (20) days thereafter, or does not within five (5) days after such sale deposit<br />

it in the mails or other usual channels <strong>of</strong> transportation. No <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> may engage<br />

in short sales. A short sale, as defined in this <strong>Policy</strong>, means any transaction whereby one<br />

may benefit from a decline in <strong>TIBCO</strong>'s stock price. While <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong>s who are not<br />

executive <strong>of</strong>ficers or directors are not prohibited by law from engaging in short sales <strong>of</strong><br />

Company's securities, <strong>TIBCO</strong> has adopted as its policy that employees <strong>and</strong> <strong>Service</strong><br />

<strong>Provider</strong>s, similarly, may not engage in such short sales .<br />

5. Communications with Analysts<br />

It is very important to <strong>TIBCO</strong> that all communications with analysts comply with applicable<br />

laws <strong>and</strong> that they are consistent <strong>and</strong> in accordance with executive level management.<br />

Therefore, the only employees authorized to discuss <strong>TIBCO</strong> matters with analysts are the<br />

<strong>TIBCO</strong> CEO, CFO, Senior EVP, Worldwide Marketing <strong>and</strong> the VP, Investor Relations<br />

(together “Spokespersons”). In the event a <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> is contacted by an analyst,<br />

<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> must refer the analyst to a Spokesperson.<br />

6. Equal Opportunity, Non-Discrimination <strong>and</strong> Anti-<br />

Harassment<br />

As a private employer subject to the United States Equal Opportunity Employment<br />

Commission <strong>and</strong> other employment laws as applicable, <strong>TIBCO</strong> is committed to providing<br />

a work environment that is free <strong>of</strong> discrimination <strong>and</strong> harassment <strong>and</strong> practices equal<br />

opportunity with respect to all activities concerning its employees. In keeping with this<br />

commitment, <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> is required to prohibit harassment <strong>of</strong> any kind (verbal,<br />

physical, visual or sexual) or discrimination, including harassment or discrimination on the<br />

basis <strong>of</strong> race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, <strong>and</strong><br />

mental disability, medical condition including genetic characteristics, marital status, sex,<br />

age, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other characteristics protected by law in<br />

accordance with <strong>TIBCO</strong> policies.<br />

Under no circumstance shall <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Provider</strong> retaliate against any <strong>of</strong> its employees for<br />

reporting any incidents <strong>of</strong> harassment or perceived harassment, discrimination or for<br />

participating in any investigation <strong>of</strong> incidents <strong>of</strong> discrimination or harassment or perceived<br />

harassment.<br />
