CORPORATE CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

This Corporate Code of Conduct and Ethics, referred to as the "Code," is intended to provide our associates, as defined below, with an understanding of the principles of business conduct and ethics that are expected of them. The standards set forth in the Code apply to us all. Every associate of Force Protection is expected to comply with the Code as a condition of his or her relationship with the company. The term "associate" means every full and part-time employee of the company and its subsidiaries, all members of the company's senior management, including the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and every member of the company's Board of Directors, even if such member is not employed by the company. The Code and the other company practices referenced herein set forth our mutual expectations regarding ethical standards and company procedures. The company has made the Code publicly available on its web site.

If any breach of the Code is known to you, you should report violations to the Corporate Compliance Officer (who is our Chief Financial Officer) or to any member of the Compliance Committee, as described in more detail below. Reports may be made anonymously and we have adopted a specific non-retaliation policy described herein to protect associates who make reports of potential violations.

While it is impossible for this Code to describe every situation that may arise, the standards explained in this Code are guidelines that should govern our conduct. If you have questions regarding the matters that are addressed in the Code, you are urged to consult with the Corporate Compliance Officer, a member of the Compliance Committee, or another member of management.

The provisions of the Code regarding the actions the company will take are guidelines which the company intends to follow. There may be circumstances, however, that in the company's judgment require different measures or actions and in such cases it may act accordingly while still attempting to fulfill the principles underlying this Code.
