SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

Beyond our standard Terms and Conditions, V2X has initiated a Supplier Code of Conduct to set forth the expectations that we have for our suppliers and business partners. This is a direct reflection of the standards we have for our employees, officers and directors.

Anti-Corruption
V2X maintains a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to corruption. When dealing with government officials, political appointees, or local leaders we expect our suppliers as well as our agents and employees to conduct themselves professionally with prohibit any offering or making any improper payments on V2X’ behalf.

Gifts
V2X prides itself on the services we provide and the products we offer to our clients. Our suppliers are never expected to provide gifts either to us or to their downstream suppliers in exchange for any type of advantages. We will compete on equal footing and based on our corporate values, ethics and strong track record of success.

Human Trafficking
V2X will not knowingly work with any business partners that engage in any human trafficking activities, including child or forced labor, physical punishment or abuse, misleading or fraudulent recruiting, charging employees for recruitment, confiscation or destruction of employee identification documentation, or supporting prostitution. We expect our suppliers to follow these same high standards.

Counterfeit Goods
V2X has instituted a proactive approach to controlling the points-of-entry for Counterfeit Goods within our supply chain by following the DFARS regulations regarding Electronic Parts counterfeit reporting via GIDEP (Government-Industry Data Exchange Program). We also actively support and review non-electronic parts for counterfeit and non-conforming product to ensure the quality of products and services we deliver meet the highest standards. V2X takes all reasonable measures to ensure goods are procured through original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and original component manufacturer (OCM) sources or their authorized distributors. Any suspicious products received are investigated and reported through the appropriate channels.

Conflict Minerals
V2X protects against the unmonitored use of conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, gold and tungsten). If our vendors use these minerals, we expect them to implement the proper control procedures to identify the sources of these minerals and support the eradication of conflict minerals which finance or benefit factions in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries.
