<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company initially reviewed its product
line to determine which products, if any, require a Conflict Mineral that is necessary to the functionality or production of the
product. This inquiry resulted in a determination that the only products of the Company that may potentially require a Conflict
Mineral are products that have certain fastener components, which the Company does not manufacture. These fastener components require
tin, one of the designated Conflict Minerals. Based on the Company&rsquo;s review of its products, these fasteners are only found
in certain of our communication and energy products described above. Therefore, for purposes of this report, only the sources of
the fastener components of those products were considered.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company does not have any direct relationships
with any tin smelter or refinery in its supply chain. As a downstream purchaser of fastener components that contain tin, our due
diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the presence, source and chain of custody of
Conflict Minerals. The Company&rsquo;s due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from its direct suppliers
and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the applicable Conflict
Minerals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company contacts every direct supplier
and requests that they certify to the existence of Conflict Minerals in their product, as well as the origin of such Conflict Minerals,
with a focused effort on the suppliers of fasteners. In addition, the Company has all of its international subsidiaries contact
their respective direct suppliers with the same inquiry. The Company also communicates with direct suppliers on responses to supply
chain surveys that it identifies as containing incomplete or potentially inaccurate information to seek additional clarification.
The Company has regularly engaged and continues to engage with any direct supplier for which it has not received a final response.
The Company&rsquo;s efforts to investigate its suppliers also includes requiring suppliers whose product contains any one of the
Conflict Minerals to submit documented evidence that all the materials used in the manufacture of the parts supplied to the Company
were not smelted in a Covered Country. In some cases, the Company&rsquo;s suppliers have indicated the receipt of confirming letters
from primary steel mill sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company is committed to sourcing components
and materials from companies that share in the Company&rsquo;s values of respecting human rights. In addition, the Company has
integrated requirements for DRC Conflict Free within its standard terms and conditions of purchase. The Company highly encourages
all direct suppliers to provide a survey using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global eSustainability Initiative
Conflict Minerals Reporting Template with their annual supplier package. Additionally, the Company has created a new role of Compliance
Specialist. One of that position&rsquo;s goals is to compile a database of all of the Company&rsquo;s components and determine
compliance with Conflict Minerals reporting requirements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company&rsquo;s suppliers remain mostly
consistent from year to year. While survey efforts vary from year to year, it has received supply chain survey responses from approximately
[87]% of its current fastener suppliers, both domestically and internationally. The vast majority of the Company&rsquo;s fastener
suppliers have stated that their fasteners do not contain tin, and no supplier of fasteners that contain tin has responded that
the Conflict Mineral originated from the Covered Countries. However, several suppliers of fasteners that contain tin have noted
that they are still working to determine definitive sources. Based on these responses, the Company cannot be certain that its products
do not contain Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries or identify the facilities used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals
in those products until all the final responses are received.</P>
