COMPLY WITH EMC'S SIGNATORY AUTHORITY POLICY
You must comply with EMC's Signatory Authority Policy, which is part of EMC's Corporate Policies and Procedures. You may not enter into any contract or
commit EMC resources unless you are authorized to do so under this policy. Any employee acting in violation of this policy shall have no authority to bind
EMC.
DO NOT MISUSE EMC'S PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT
You should take all reasonable steps to protect against loss, theft, or misuse of any EMC asset. Moreover, EMC's facilities, communication networks, and
property are to be used only to conduct EMC business or for purposes authorized by management. You may not perform any personal or non-EMC work in
EMC facilities, on EMC time, or using EMC training, tools, materials or resources.
MAINTAIN AND PROVIDE ACCURATE AND HONEST BUSINESS RECORDS AND FINANCIAL REPORTS
EMC's books and records must reflect all transactions included in its results of operations and financial position truthfully, accurately, and in compliance with
generally accepted accounting principles. EMC also has strict reporting obligations under certain statutes, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of
1977, as amended, and the securities laws. It is therefore essential that you report all business transactions honestly, accurately and in compliance with all
EMC policies and procedures. For example, all employees must provide truthful and accurate reports of expenses and time. All sales employees must provide
truthful, accurate and complete paperwork relating to sales transactions. Falsification of business documentation, whether or not it results in personal gain, is
never permissible and may result in penalties to EMC and you.
ENSURE FULL, FAIR, ACCURATE, TIMELY AND UNDERSTANDABLE DISCLOSURE AND FINANCIAL REPORTING
As a public company, EMC is required to file periodic and other reports and documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to make other
public communications. EMC must provide accurate, complete and timely disclosure in those SEC reports and documents and in its other public
communications, including disclosure of EMC's financial results and financial condition. Accordingly, you must fully meet your responsibilities to ensure that
EMC's financial reports and records are in strict compliance with all applicable laws, generally accepted accounting principles and EMC policies. You must
provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable, act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and
diligence, without misrepresenting or omitting material facts or allowing your independent judgment to be subordinated, and impose and maintain appropriate
controls over all assets and resources employed. These responsibilities apply to each of us, but are especially important if you are a member of EMC's Finance
Department or are otherwise involved with EMC's financial reporting.
