Proprietary Information and Intellectual Property During the course of your work at Halliburton, you may come into contact with certain information, such as product plans and strategic documents, which are confidential and valuable to the Company. One of our core values is Technology Innovation, so it is critical to treat all information carefully. Do not disclose confidential information about the Company or about our customers or business partners without approval and on a need-to-know basis. You must also protect the Company’s intellectual property, which includes the Company’s patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights. Safeguarding the Company’s intellectual property is an important responsibility. Any unauthorized disclosure or misuse, either during or after your employment with the Company, could be harmful to Halliburton or to our customers, or helpful to competitors. The unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information and/or the Company’s intellectual property can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition, the Company may seek all legal remedies available to it to protect the unauthorized use of its proprietary information and intellectual property. It is equally important to use the lawfully obtained intellectual property of others appropriately and in accordance with laws, applicable agreements and regulations. In addition, our customers, suppliers and joint venture partners entrust us with their confidential and proprietary information, and it is critical that we handle it with the greatest care to merit their continued confidence. You must not download code, documents, or other material or “freeware” from the Internet and incorporate it into any Halliburton material without first checking with the Intellectual Property Practice Group in the Law Department. To minimize the likelihood of an unintentional disclosure of sensitive information, make sure you take reasonable precautions during the course of your daily activities. For example, require strong passwords where possible, and do not write them down. Secure your computer and workstation, and never leave your laptop or mobile phone unattended, particularly when traveling. If you have questions or concerns about the appropriate use of proprietary information or intellectual property, please discuss them with your supervisor or contact the Intellectual Property Practice Group.

Hashim plans to be away on vacation for a few days and needs to ensure that any items requiring his approval are handled appropriately in his absence. Should Hashim share his Halliburton logon password with one of his subordinates and one of his peers, so that they can log on with Hashim’s credentials to SAP or other systems in his absence to approve any necessary items? No. Hashim is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his password in compliance with the Company’s Information Technology Security Policy. If he shares his password with another person, there is increased risk that the password might be leaked to another, unauthorized person. Also, the Company requires that most system transactions (in SAP, for example) be accurately associated with the specific individual taking action. Therefore, Hashim should not share his password with anyone and must make arrangements to delegate his authority in some other manner so that someone else can act on his behalf during his vacation. 29
