EMC CORPORATION
BUSINESS CONDUCT GUIDELINES
ACT WITH INTEGRITY
EMC's expectations concerning the behavior of its employees do not differ
substantially from the personal expectations most employees set for themselves.
You are expected to act with integrity. This means that you should:
. be honest and ethical in all of your dealings;
. comply with all laws and seek help if you have any uncertainty;
. adhere to all EMC policies;
. be respectful of others, including your fellow employees;
. be accountable, responsible and do what you say you are going to do; and
. do what is right.
OBEY THE LAW AND EMC POLICY
EMC conducts its business in accordance with all applicable laws. You are
expected to conduct yourself in the same manner. Compliance with the law is a
minimum expectation. Personal integrity may, and often will, involve a standard
higher than what exists under the law. You should direct any questions you have
about these Guidelines or a legal compliance matter to your manager and/or the
Office of the General Counsel.
You are also expected to act in accordance with EMC's policies, which are
available either electronically on Channel EMC or through your manager or the
Office of the General Counsel. Certain EMC policies are summarized below.
In some locations outside the U.S., local laws and business practices are less
restrictive than EMC policies or these Guidelines. Nevertheless, as an EMC
employee you are expected to comply with EMC policies and these Guidelines.
COMPLY WITH THE ANTITRUST LAWS
The objective of the antitrust laws is to protect and promote competition and
free enterprise. As set forth more fully in EMC's Antitrust Guidelines,
antitrust laws prohibit certain practices which unreasonably restrain trade,
including for example price fixing. You must fully comply with the antitrust
laws and EMC's Antitrust Guidelines. Any violation may result in severe
discipline and civil and criminal penalties for you and EMC.
DO NOT ENGAGE IN INSIDER TRADING
As set forth in EMC's Insider Trading Policy, it is against the law and you are
prohibited from buying or selling EMC securities if you are aware of "inside"
information, that is, material non-public information about EMC. You may also
become aware of inside information about other companies, such as EMC's
partners, suppliers and customers, through your work at EMC. You
