Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act based on the fact that the minerals defined therein as &#147;conflict minerals&#148; are necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufacture or
contract to be manufactured. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines conflict mineral as &#147;columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten unless the
Secretary of State determines that additional derivatives are financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country&#148;. These conflict minerals may be referred to as 3TG in order to not confuse it with the actual
findings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Company level surveys were initiated with affected direct suppliers providing parts and materials for products we manufactured or contracted to
manufacture during the 2016 reporting period to begin the reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;). The Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative Conflict Minerals Reporting Template was utilized as the basis for the RCOI. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the RCOI, we determined that a portion of the 3TG reported by our affected direct suppliers originated, or may have originated, from the Democratic
Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, may not be from recycled or scrap sources, and that a portion of them have unknown origins. Therefore, we were required to exercise due diligence on the 3TG source and chain of custody following a
nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. These details are provided in our Conflict Minerals Report, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. </P>

to disclose whether the products they manufacture contain certain &#147;conflict minerals&#148; &#150;cassiterite (tin), wolframite (tungsten), columbite-tantalite (tantalum), gold, or their derivatives originating in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;) or an adjoining country &#150; that have been found to support the civil conflict and human rights violations in the region. If so, a report must be filed specifying those products and the due diligence measures taken to

sources. Accordingly, our suppliers are expected to commit to being or becoming DRC conflict-free and to providing the needed transparency of the supply chain so that components and materials supplied to us are DRC conflict-free. Suppliers are to
adopt and implement policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems, consistent with the OECD Guidance, that are designed to accomplish this goal. </P>
