<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Brief Description of Supply Chain</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The products that we manufacture are typically highly engineered, complex and contain thousands of parts from a vast network of direct suppliers around the world. There are generally multiple tiers of suppliers between the 3TG mines, smelters, and our direct suppliers. As a downstream purchaser, we are limited to relying on our direct suppliers to work with their upstream suppliers to provide us with accurate information about the origin of 3TG in the components, parts, or assemblies we purchase. Most of our supplier purchase contracts contain terms of years, but we include when possible new contract terms with flow-down requirements that compel our suppliers to support our due diligence efforts with respect to 3TG content.</div>

<div><font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">2</font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">.</font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry</font></div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We conducted a risk-based engineering analysis of all of the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture to identify all direct suppliers providing us with items known to contain, or with a high probability of containing, 3TG. We then requested all of our identified direct 3TG suppliers to provide information to us regarding their 3TG content and smelters using the template developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition&#174; (EICC&#174;) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), known as the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#8220;Template&#8221;). The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide material to a manufacturer&#8217;s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a direct supplier&#8217;s conflict-free policy, its due diligence process, and information about its supply chain such as the names and locations of smelters and refiners as well as the origin of 3TG used by those facilities. Our supplier outreach efforts also included web-based training opportunities and escalation procedures for non-responding suppliers.</div>

<div>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Where responses were received from our suppliers, they were provided using the Template as well as other forms. We reviewed the results to determine which required further engagement. The criteria included non-responses, incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported by those suppliers. We then engaged with as many of those suppliers as possible, seeking responses, additional information or clarifications as needed. We conducted multiple rounds of inquiries.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">A portion of our responding suppliers provided a list of smelters they used to process 3TG content contained in the components supplied to their customers. These responses were provided primarily on a company-wide basis and included the names of facilities listed by our suppliers as smelters or refiners. It was not possible to identify smelters by products with certainty. Where the smelter identification number was provided, we verified that the facility was listed on the CFSI smelter list included in the Template.&#160;We flagged those facilities not certified &#8220;conflict free&#8221; under the Conflict Free Smelter Program (&#8220;CFSP&#8221;) and asked them to participate in the CFSP.</div>
