IF: for information only

Before applying a disciplinary action such as an Admin-
istrative Report, Temporary Suspension or Termination,
the employee shall be given the opportunity to explain
what happened and the reasons for the non-compliance,
after which the type of disciplinary action to be taken
shall be defined accordingly.
Note: In case of dispute over the disciplinary actions
taken, an investigation will have to be carried to establish
what happened and define the applicable disciplinary ac-
tions.
In the event of a disabling accident, and depending on
severity, the crew foreman and/or Supervisor and/or
Safety Supervisor will be suspended from 3 to 7 days
without pay. If the accident is very serious, all or any of
them may be dismissed from the company. In case of a
disabling accident or a large number ofmany safety vio-
lations ina work area, the person responsible for the area
(supervisor and/or crew foreman) will work for at least
one week as part of the safety group, in order to raise

32

 awareness on the subject. When a disabling accident oc-
curs, the Project Manager, together with the Project

accident, the Company's Corporate Committee, which
comprises of the Operations VP ( Onshore or Offshore
Work), Innovation VP, Operations Directors (Pipelines,
Plants or Offshore Work), Quality, Safety and Environ-
mental Director and Human Capital Director, will decide
if to suspend the person from work, the number of days
to of suspension or even termination. The above will be
decided based on the root cause analysis of the incident
used to establish the responsibility of personnel involved
and what they could have done to avoid the incident. The
Human Resources and Safety departments will notify
personnel of the disciplinary actions taken as established
in these Regulations.

Article 114. Consequences of the disciplinary ac-

tions:

» For each verbal reprimand, a perforation will be

made on the correct section of the card. After 3 ver-
bal reprimands, an administrative report will be au-
tomatically drawn up, the applicable section is per-
forated and the action is recorded in the employee's
personnel file.

36 33
» In the event that the employee already has an ad-
ministrative report, he/she will be temporarily sus-
pended (from 3 to 7 days without pay, depending on
the severity of the offense), and the applicable sec-
tion of the card will be perforated.
» In case of recurrence, the employee will be termi-
nated.
» Depending on the severity of the offense, an ad-
ministrative report, temporary suspension or termi-
nation may be issued upon the first occurrence. The
disciplinary actions described above apply to all
personnel (operating, technical, administrative and
subcontractors) of the Onshore, Offshore and Con-
cessions Divisions (as applicable).

I hereby declare that I have read and have been in-

low these rules I will be subject to the disciplinary
