Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

As Amended and Restated On May 30, 2007

Introduction

Hawk Corporation (Hawk or the Company) is committed to the principles of honest and ethical conduct in all aspects of its business. Hawk believes that our tradition of adhering to honest and ethical conduct enables Hawk to enjoy a reputation of which all our employees, officers and directors can be proud.

This code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It is intended only as a guide. It does not, and can not, cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles and key policies and procedures to guide all employees, officers and directors of Hawk. Employees, officers and directors must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. In appropriate circumstances, this code should also be provided to and followed by Hawks agents and representatives, including consultants.

If you are in a situation that you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this code, you should follow the guidelines described in the section entitled Adherence to the Code below. Ultimately, the determination of whether or not there has been a violation will be in the discretion of our Designated Ethics Officer, who may consult with our Chief Executive Officer and our legal counsel.

For simplicity, Hawk as used throughout this code refers to Hawk Corporation and all our subsidiaries. This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our corporate website at www.hawkcorp.com.

Responsibilities of Employees, Officers and Directors

Compliance with Laws, Rules, Regulations and Agreements

All employees, officers and directors must strictly comply with all laws and governmental regulations that apply to our business, including state and local laws in the areas in which we operate. Any questions as to the applicability of any law should be directed to our legal counsel.

If a law conflicts with a policy in this code, employees, officers and directors must comply with the law. If a local custom or policy conflicts with a policy in this code, employees, officers and directors must comply with the code. If you have any questions about these conflicts, you should ask the Designated Ethics Officer how to handle the situation.

This code is intended to supplement and not override any similar provisions in agreements with employees, officers and directors, our charter documents or applicable law.

Insider Trading

We have an insider trading policy and all employees, officers and directors must abide by its terms. A copy of this policy is available on our corporate website at www.hawkcorp.com. This policy, among other things, provides that employees, officers and directors may not buy or sell shares of Hawk when they are in possession of material, non-public information or at such times as the Company may prohibit trading activity. They also are prohibited from passing on such information to others who might make an investment decision based on it.
