1 Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct

2 A Message from our CEO At QMax, our reputation is our most important asset. To maintain our excellent reputation, each of us must hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We must, in all that we do, operate in line with our core values: Excellence, Innovation, Integrity, and Teamwork (Exiite). Our corporate values must drive our decisions and we must prioritize these shared values above all else. Our Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct is a reflection of this commitment and serves as a guide for maintaining our high ethical standards. Reading and understanding the Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct is crucial for conducting successful business and upholding the integrity of QMax. All of our decisions and actions uphold the QMax reputation so it is imperative that we protect our brand by holding ourselves and others to our high ethical standards. Everyone is expected to abide by our Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct; it applies to all employees, directors, officers and third parties equally. It is your obligation to come forward with any concerns. If you see or suspect a violation of the Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct, a supporting policy or a law or regulation it is your responsibility to report it to your local Ethics & Compliance Officer, confidential Q-Alertline or your Human Resources Department. You may request anonymity; that is your choice. We will not tolerate retaliation against anyone reporting a concern. Retaliation will result in disciplinary action, including termination. Rest assured all complaints will be investigated and a resolution achieved. Report violations to the Q-Alertline at Or refer to the last page for your local Q-Alertline phone number It is important that we all behave and act responsibly and professionally in order to maintain the highest integrity. Commitment to ethical and honest business practices is the first step to achieving our goals. I appreciate everyone doing their best to make QMax a leader in our industry. Chris Rivers President and CEO

3 3 Q: How are we expected to know all of the laws that we are subject to or should otherwise be concerned about when some of them are not even laws of my country like the FCPA? A: You are not expected to know all of the laws which may impact our operations. You should, however, become familiar with laws that impact your particular role at QMax. For example, if you are responsible for the transport of chemicals and other products you need to be familiar with both the laws applicable to operating motor vehicles and to the transport of dangerous or environmentally hazardous goods. Since the Code of Conduct and its supporting policies, procedures and guidelines take into consideration the relevant laws dealing with unethical business conduct, your compliance with the Code and its supporting policies, procedures and guidelines will ensure conformity with those laws. Administration of Our Code of Conduct The QMax Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct is designed to ensure consistency in how employees conduct themselves within the Company, and in their dealings outside of the Company. The procedures for handling potential violations of the Code of Conduct have been developed to ensure consistency in the process across the organization. No set of rules can cover all circumstances. These guidelines may be varied as necessary to conform to local law or contract. Our Responsibility Administration of the Code of Conduct The responsibility for administering the Code of Conduct rests with the Ethics and Compliance Committee, with oversight by the Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Board of Directors. The Ethics and Compliance Committee is comprised of senior leaders representing corporate governance functions as well as operations. Investigation of Potential Code of Conduct Violations QMax takes all reports of potential Code of Conduct violations seriously and is committed to confidentiality and a full investigation of all allegations. The Company s Human Resources, Ethics and Compliance, Audit, Finance, and Legal personnel may conduct Code of Conduct investigations at the direction of the Legal Department. Employees who are being investigated for a potential Code of Conduct violation will have an opportunity to be heard prior to any final determination. QMax follows local grievance procedures in locations where such procedures apply. 3

4 Decisions The Ethics and Compliance Committee makes all decisions about Code of Conduct violations, but may delegate certain categories of decision to local management. Those found to have violated the Code of Conduct may seek reconsideration of the violation and disciplinary action decisions. Signature and Acknowledgement Q: In my country, I believe we have several activities that are very common and considered normal business practice but that seem to be inconsistent with the letter of the law. The authorities allow these activities to continue and never attempt to stop them. In these circumstances how am I to know which is legal and what is not? All QMax employees and business partners must sign an acknowledgement form confirming that they have read this QMax Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct and agree to abide by its provisions. All employees and business partners will be required to make similar acknowledgements on a periodic basis. Failure to read the Code of Conduct or sign the acknowledgement form does not excuse an employee or business partner from compliance with the Code of Conduct. Reporting of Code Decisions and Investigations The Ethics and Compliance Department periodically reports all pending Code of Conduct investigations and final decisions, including disciplinary actions taken, to senior management of the Company and to the Board of Directors. A: It is often very difficult for people not trained in the legal profession to determine the meaning of a law and how such a law should be interpreted. In situations where you suspect that your action may be illegal, you should consult either your local legal counsel or the QMax General Counsel.

5 5 The Code of Conduct and the Law If you are still uncertain, ask for guidance. You can seek help from any of the following: -Your management -Member of the Human Resources Department -Member of the Ethics and Compliance Department -Member of the Internal Audit Department -Member of the Legal Department -The Q-Alertline All directors, officers, employees, and business partners such as suppliers, consultants, and representatives are expected to comply with the Code of Conduct and all applicable government laws, rules and regulations. Because we are a global company, the laws and regulations affecting QMax are complex, and it is important to seek advice from the QMax Legal Department or Ethics and Compliance Department to ensure compliance. If a provision of the Code of Conduct conflicts with applicable law, the law controls. Because QMax is headquartered in the United States, our employees around the world often are subject to U.S. laws. Other countries also may apply their laws outside their borders to QMax operations and personnel. If you are uncertain what laws apply to you, or if you believe there may be a conflict between different applicable laws, consult the QMax Legal Department before proceeding. What is Expected of Everyone? Comply with the Code of Conduct and the Law Understand and comply with the Code of Conduct and the law wherever you are. Use good judgment and avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. Consider Your Actions, and Ask for Guidance If ever in doubt about a course of conduct, ask yourself: Is it consistent with the Code of Condcut? Is it ethical? Is it legal? Will it reflect positively on QMax? Would I want to read about it in the newspaper or the internet? 5

6 What is Expected of Managers? Promote a Culture of Ethics and Compliance Managers should inspire trust and pride by leading according to our QMax Core Values. Managers should at all times model appropriate conduct. Managers should: Ensure that the people you supervise understand their responsibilities under the Code of Conduct and other QMax policies. Make opportunities to discuss the Code of Conduct and reinforce the importance of ethics and compliance with employees. Ensure employees complete required ethics awareness, compliance and other relevant ethics education. Create an environment where employees feel comfortable raising concerns without fear of retaliation. Consider conduct in relation to the Code of Conduct and other QMax policies when evaluating employees. What is Expected of Business Partners? QMax requires third party representatives of our Company to comply with our Commitment to Ethical Behavior and the Code of Conduct, our policies and all laws that apply to that representative and to QMax. Never encourage or direct employees to achieve business results at the expense of ethical conduct or compliance with the Code of Conduct or the law. Always act to stop violations of the Code of Conduct or the law by those you supervise. Respond to Questions and Concerns If an employee raises a concern that may require investigation under the Code of Conduct, immediately contact your local Ethics and Compliance Officer, the Ethics and Compliance Department, the Internal Audit Department, or the Legal Department.

7 7 Report violations to the Q-Alertline at Or refer to the last page for your local Q-Alertline phone number Employee Care Equal Opportunity and Respectful Work Environment Equal opportunity is a matter of fairness, respect and dignity. Every employee is entitled to a professional work environment that is free from harassment and intimidation. QMax will not tolerate any form of abuse or harassment. Employees are expected to help create a work environment free from all forms of harassment. QMax provides employees with the processes, facilities, standards, training, discipline, and work culture designed to ensure a safe work environment for our employees and the communities in which we operate. Concerns for Health, Safety, and Environment In all we do, QMax employees are expected to put Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE) first. Our Core Value of Integrity requires us to speak up if something appears unsafe and you are empowered to stop work if it is unsafe. We must comply with all laws, regulations, Company policies and Company procedures regarding health, safety and environmental protection. Protecting our world and workplace are integral to our QMax Core Values. We foster a culture of safety and environmental responsibility through: open and honest communication, high expectations, accountability, achievement, and continuous challenge for improvement. We will always seek to develop the best operating procedures, technologies and policies to promote health, safety and environmental protection. 7

8 Health QMax strongly promotes a healthy workforce by encouraging health consciousness and wellness. Safety QMax employees are expected to put safety first. Everyone has a responsibility to conduct his or her work in a safe and healthy manner. Whenever there are safety concerns, we have an obligation to stop any and all actions associated with the concern. Environment QMax is a responsible corporate citizen and is committed to the sustainable use of natural resources. Our commitment includes the use of local products, when feasible, and the implementation of waste management practices. Anonymity and Confidentiality Reports Anonymity and Confidentiality of Reports When you make a report to the Ethics and Compliance Department or through the Q-Alertline, you may choose to remain anonymous, although you are encouraged to identify yourself to facilitate communication. If you make your identity known, the Ethics and Compliance Department and investigators will take every reasonable precaution to keep your identity confidential, consistent with conducting a thorough and fair investigation. To help maintain confidentiality, avoid discussing these issues, or any investigation, with other employees.

9 9 Making False Accusations QMax will protect any employee who raises a concern honestly, but it is a violation of the Code of Conduct to knowingly make a false accusation, lie to investigators, or interfere or refuse to cooperate with an investigation of a violation. Honest reporting does not mean that you have to be right when you raise a concern, but you have to believe in good faith that the information you are providing is accurate. Investigations QMax takes all reports of possible misconduct seriously. We will investigate the matter confidentially, make a determination whether the Code of Conduct or the law has been violated, and take appropriate corrective action. If you become involved in an investigation, it is your responsibility to cooperate fully and answer all questions completely and honestly. No Retaliation for Reporting Retaliation against employees who comes forward to raise concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. If you work with someone who has raised a concern or provided information in an investigation, you should continue to treat the person with respect and dignity, and in accordance with our QMax Core Values. An employee found to have retaliated against a reporting individual will face disciplinary action. QMax Assets Protecting Our Assets Do not use QMax assets for your personal benefit or the benefit of anyone other than the Company. QMax treats workplace theft of assets belonging to other employees the same way it treats theft of QMax assets. The use of QMax assets outside of your employment responsibilities such as using your QMax work product in an outside venture, or using QMax materials or equipment to support personal interests requires prior written approval from your management or local Ethics and Compliance Officer. 9

10 Use of Time, Equipment and Other Assets Do not engage in personal activities during work hours that interfere with or prevent you from fulfilling your job responsibilities. Do not use QMax computers and equipment for outside businesses, or for illegal or unethical activities such as gambling, pornography or other offensive subject matter. Do not take for yourself any opportunity for financial gain that you learn about because of your position at QMax. Business and Financial Record Accuracy Ensure the accuracy of all QMax business and financial records. These include financial accounts, but other records such as quality reports, time records, expense reports and submissions. Accurate recordkeeping and reporting reflects on the reputation and credibility of QMax, and ensures that the Company meets its legal and regulatory obligations. Always record and classify transactions in the proper accounting period and in the appropriate account and department. Do not delay or accelerate the recording of revenue or expenses to meet budgetary goals. Estimates and accruals must be supported by appropriate documentation and be based on your best judgment. Ensure that all reports to regulatory authorities are full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. Report violations to the Q-Alertline at Or refer to the last page for your local Q-Alertline phone number Never falsify any document. Do not distort the true nature of any transaction. Never enable another person s efforts to evade taxes or subvert local currency laws. For this reason, payments generally must be made only to the person or firm that actually provided the goods or services.

11 11 Use of Information Safeguard QMax nonpublic information, which includes everything from contracts and pricing information to marketing plans, technical specifications and employee information. Nonpublic Information Do not disclose nonpublic information to anyone outside of QMax, including to family and friends, except when disclosure is required for business purposes. Even then, take appropriate steps, such as execution of a confidentiality agreement, to prevent misuse of the information. Do not disclose nonpublic information to others inside QMax unless they have a business reason to know, and communications have been classified according to the Confidentiality and Information Security Policy. Employees are obligated to protect QMax nonpublic information at all times, including outside of the workplace and working hours, and even after employment ends. Record Retention Retain or discard Company records in accordance with QMax record retention guidelines. QMax legal counsel occasionally may issue notices regarding retention of records in the case of actual or threatened litigation or government investigation. Employees must abide by the directions contained in these notices, as failure to do so could subject QMax and employees to serious legal risks. 11

12 Insider Trading Trading in stocks or securities based on material nonpublic information, or providing material nonpublic information to others so that they may trade, is illegal. Such conduct will result in termination of employment and may result in criminal prosecution. Data Privacy QMax respects the privacy of all its employees and business partners. We must handle personal data responsibly and in compliance with all applicable privacy laws. Employees who handle the personal data of others must: Act in accordance with applicable law; Act in accordance with any relevant contractual obligations; Collect, use and process such information only for legitimate business purposes; Limit access to the information to those who have a legitimate business purpose for seeing the information; and Take care to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Conflicts of Interest In any potential conflict of interest situation, ask yourself: Could my personal interests interfere with those of the Company? Might it appear that way to others, either inside or outside of the Company? When unsure, seek guidance. Conflicts of Interest This section of the Code provides rules for some common conflict of interest situations. The Code cannot address every potential conflict of interest, so use our QMax Core Values, your conscience and common sense. When you are unsure, seek guidance. Our Core Value of Integrity requires that we speak up if something appears unethical.

13 13 Act in the best interest of QMax at all times. A conflict of interest arises when your personal activities and relationships interfere, or appear to interfere, with your ability to act in the Company s best interest. Take particular care if you are responsible for selecting or dealing with a supplier on the behalf of QMax. Your personal interests and relationships must not interfere, or appear to interfere, with your ability to make decisions in the best interest of QMax. When selecting suppliers, always follow applicable QMax procurement guidelines and applicable law. Outside Investments Avoid investments that could affect, or appear to affect, your decision making on behalf of QMax. Specific guidelines apply to ownership of stock of a customer, supplier or competitor of QMax. If you have discretionary authority in dealing with a company as part of your job with QMax, you may not have any financial interest in that company without prior written approval from the Ethics and Compliance Department, Legal Department, or CEO. If you do not have discretionary authority in dealing with a company as part of your job, you may own up to 5% of the stock of the company. You may own more than 5% of the stock of any customer, supplier or competitor only with the prior written approval of the Ethics and Compliance Department, Legal Department, or CEO. You must renew Ethics and Compliance Department, Legal Department, or CEO approval annually if you continue to own the stock. 13

14 Mutual Funds These restrictions on outside investments do not apply to mutual funds or similar investments in which the employee does not have direct control over the particular companies included in the fund. Outside Employment, Speeches and Presentations Q: My father was recently promoted to the position of regional drilling manager at one of the largest customers of QMax. As part of my duties and responsibilities with QMax, I will soon be negotiating, on behalf of QMax, with my father for settlements pertaining to losses and other terms of the contracts. What am I required to do? You may not be employed by, or otherwise provide services for or receive payment from, any customer, supplier or competitor of QMax without prior written approval from the Global Ethics and Compliance Officer. You must renew this approval annually. You must have prior written approval from your local Ethics and Compliance Officer before accepting reimbursement for expenses, or any other payment, for speeches or presentations outside of QMax, if: You are giving the speech or presentation as part of your job with QMax; The speech or presentation describes your work with QMax; or You are formally identified at the speech or presentation as an employee of QMax. A: At the very least this is a perceived conflict of interest where your personal interests could be tied to those of your father s and therefore could differ from the interests of QMax. You are required to immediately report to your supervisor or manager this change in your circumstances and discuss how this conflict of interest is to be managed. Outside Service as an Officer or Director In general, you may serve as an officer or member of the board of directors of any other business only with prior written approval of the Ethics and Compliance Department, Legal Department, or CEO. (You must renew this approval annually.)

15 15 Report violations to the Q-Alertline at Or refer to the last page for your local Q-Alertline phone number Relatives and Friends Some employees may have relatives who are employed by or invest in customers or suppliers of QMax. These financial interests do not create a conflict under the Code of Conduct unless: You have discretionary authority in dealing with any of these companies as part of your job with QMax; or Your relative deals with QMax on behalf of the other company. In either of these situations, you must have written approval from the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, and you must renew this approval annually. Use good judgment to avoid the appearance of conflict if a competitor of QMax employs your relative, or you have friends who are employed by, or have ownership interests in, customers or suppliers of QMax. Take care to ensure that your friendship does not affect, or appear to affect, your ability to act in the best interest of QMax. If you are uncertain whether your friendship may create an issue, consult your manager, local Ethics and Compliance Officer or the Ethics and Compliance Department. In addition, personal relationships at work must not influence your ability to act in the best interest of QMax, and must not affect any employment relationship. Employment related decisions should be based on qualifications, performance, skills and experience, and consistent with our QMax Core Values. 15

16 Gifts, Meals and Entertainment Q: A supplier has invited me to attend a charity golf tournament in another city. The supplier has offered to pay the entry fee and my travel and hotel expenses. May I accept the invitation? A: An offer to fund your attendance at an event of this nature cannot be considered normal business hospitality, but should be considered as the offering of a gift of significant value. The Code of Conduct permits employees to accept gifts of nominal value only and all countries have established local guidelines for the receiving of gifts. This is to ensure that the employee s judgment or discretion in his/her business dealings with that supplier on behalf of QMax is not subject to improper influence. Therefore the supplier s offer should be graciously declined. If however, QMax considers that the event provides an opportunity to improve its relationship with the supplier, an employee may be authorized to attend on the condition that QMax pays for the employee s entry fee, travel and hotel expenses. Do not accept gifts, meals or entertainment, or any other favor, from customers or suppliers if doing so might compromise, or appear to compromise, your ability to make objective business decisions in the best interest of QMax. Your local Ethics and Compliance Officer must approve in writing acceptance of gifts, meals or entertainment that exceed the following limitations. Gifts Do not accept gifts in exchange for doing, or promising to do, anything for a customer or supplier. Do not ask for gifts from a customer or supplier. Do not accept gifts of cash or cash equivalents, such as gift cards. Do not accept gifts of more than modest value. Examples of acceptable gifts include a logo pen or t-shirt, or a small gift basket at holiday time. Gifts of symbolic value, such as trophies and statues that are inscribed in recognition of a business relationship, may be accepted. Tuition/fees for training and registration fees for events/trade shows are excluded from the above limitations, with prior approval from your local Ethics and Compliance Officer. Meals and Entertainment Do not accept meals or entertainment in exchange for doing, or promising to do, anything for a customer or supplier. Do not ask for meals or entertainment from a customer or supplier. You may accept occasional meals and entertainment from customers and suppliers if the customer or supplier attends the event, and the costs involved are in line with local custom for business related meals and entertainment. For example, ordinary business meals and attendance at local sporting events generally are acceptable.

17 17 Travel and Premium Events If a customer or supplier invites you to an event involving out of town travel, an overnight stay, or to a premium event such as the Olympics or World Cup, consult your manager to determine if there is adequate business rationale for your attendance. If there is, QMax should pay for your travel and attendance at the event. Refusing Gifts, Meals and Entertainment If you are offered a gift, meal or entertainment that exceeds the limits noted above, politely decline and explain the Company s rules. Gifts, Meals and Entertainment for Customers and Suppliers Gifts, meals and entertainment for customers and suppliers must support the legitimate business interests of QMax and should be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. Employees must provide accurate receipts and records for gifts, meals and entertainment, as the Company must properly record these expenditures in its books and records. Submission of a false or misleading receipt or record is an act of dishonesty and subject to termination of employment. Local Rules The Global Ethics and Compliance Officer may adopt local rules setting more specific limits on the acceptance of gifts, meals or entertainment, such as particular monetary thresholds. 17

18 Q: A customer representative suggested to me that he would use QMax on all the wells of their next project if QMax funded the cost of his son s tuition at the local college. The tuition fee was only $200 which is below the annual gift limit in our guidelines. May I offer this as a gift? Maintaining Integrity Integrity in Dealing with Others The QMax reputation for integrity in our external relationships is critical to our success. We must deal fairly and lawfully with everyone we encounter. A: No. There is a direct link between our payment of the tuition and the amount of work that QMax would receive. You would be providing this favor with a clear intention to obtain a business benefit for QMax. This is an unethical way to obtain work and is a clear violation of our Code of Conduct. The small amount of the requested funding is irrelevant. Dealing with Governments The global nature of our business often requires that we interact with officials of various governments around the world. Transactions with governments are covered by special legal rules, and are not the same as conducting business with private parties. In general, do not offer anything to a government official directly or indirectly in return for favorable treatment. You must obtain prior written approval from the QMax Legal Department before providing anything of value to a government official. Anti-Bribery Many countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, have passed legislation criminalizing bribery of government officials. The sanctions for violating these laws can be severe, including significant individual and corporate fines, and even imprisonment. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Because QMax is headquartered in the United States, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribes to officials of non-u.s. governments, applies to all employees around the world.

19 19 Report violations to the Q-Alertline at Or refer to the last page for your local Q-Alertline phone number Bribes Are Prohibited A bribe is giving or offering to give anything of value to a government official to influence his or her discretionary decision. Examples of bribes include gifts or payments to a government official to encourage a decision to award or continue business relations, to influence the outcome of a government audit or inspection, or to influence tax or other legislation. Giving or offering to give anything of value to a government official indirectly, through a third party, such as friend, family member, or consultant, is also a bribe. Certain Items May Be Acceptable A gift of nominal value to a government official may be allowable under certain narrow exceptions. Who Are Government Officials? Employees of any government or government controlled entity anywhere in the world, including employees of nationally owned oil companies, regardless of rank or position in the company Political parties and party officials Obtain prior written approval from the QMax Legal Department before making any such payment. Anything of Value This phrase literally means anything that might have value to a government official, including cash, gifts, meals, entertainment, business opportunities, favors, offers of employment to the government official or their family member or friend, and more. Candidates for political office Employees of public international organizations, such as the United Nations 19

20 Hiring Government Officials QMax may hire government officials to perform services that have a legitimate business purpose that do not conflict with the government official s duties, such as hiring an off duty police officer to provide security at a Company event. Improper Payments by Third Parties QMax and/or its employees may be held liable for bribes paid by a third party agent or consultant acting on the Company s behalf. Employees must take particular care when evaluating a prospective third party who might interact with the government on behalf of the Company. You must not engage a third party agent or consultant if there is reason to believe that the agent or consultant may attempt to bribe a government official. Facilitating Payments Facilitating payments, which are small sums paid to non-u.s. government officials to expedite or facilitate nondiscretionary actions or services, such as obtaining an ordinary license or phone service, are prohibited. If you are asked to make a facilitating payments to non-u.s. government officials or encounter a situation that you believe may require a facilitating payment, contact the QMax Legal Department immediately. Do NOT take further action without prior written approval from the Legal Department.

21 21 Dealing with Competitors Take care in dealing with competitors, and gathering information about competitors. Various laws govern these sensitive relationships. Competition Law QMax competes fairly, and complies with all applicable competition laws around the world. These laws often are complex, and vary considerably from country to country both in the scope of their coverage and their geographic reach. Conduct permissible in one country may be unlawful in another. Penalties for a violation can be severe. Competitive Intelligence Q: I have been asked to participate in a meeting of drilling fluid company representatives to discuss industry issues. Should I attend? Employees are encouraged to collect, share and use information about our competitors, but to do so only in a legal and ethical manner. Just as QMax values and protects its own nonpublic information, we respect the nonpublic information of other companies. A: This information is confidential; intended only to be available to the customer and your competitor. Use of this information would give QMax an unfair business advantage and would therefore be unethical and a violation of our Code of Conduct. You must reject this offer. 21

22 Acceptable Intelligence Gathering It is acceptable to collect competitive intelligence through publicly available information or ethical inquiries. For example: Publicly available filings with government agencies Public speeches of company executives Annual reports News and trade journal articles and publications You also may ask third parties about our competitors, or accept competitive intelligence offered by a third party, as long as there is no reason to believe that the third party is under a contractual or legal obligation not to reveal such information. Prohibited Activities Do not engage in any illegal or illicit activity to obtain competitive information. This may include theft, trespassing, eavesdropping, wiretapping, computer hacking, invasion of privacy, bribery, misrepresentation or searching through trash. Do not accept, disclose or use competitive information that you know or have reason to believe was disclosed to you in breach of a confidentiality agreement between a third party and one of our competitors.
