<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; FONT-FAMILY: ''Times New Roman'', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Based on the product review, the Company identified approximately 400 vendors that were likely to supply the Company with applicable products in 2014 that were at risk of containing Conflict Minerals. The Company determined that these vendors should be included within the scope of the Company's reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI").</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; FONT-FAMILY: ''Times New Roman'', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The Company developed and sent surveys to these vendors. The objective of the Company's survey was to confirm whether Conflict Minerals were contained in the applicable products and, if so, (i) originated in the Covered Countries or (ii) were from scrap or recycled sources.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; FONT-FAMILY: ''Times New Roman'', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The survey used by the Company asked for a certified response from vendors as to whether the products supplied to the Company contained Conflict Minerals, and, if so, whether those products originated in the Covered Countries or otherwise were from scrap or recycled sources. The survey also referred vendors to the conflict minerals reporting template developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition/Global e-Sustainability Initiative Extractives Working Group (the "EICC/GeSI Reporting Template") and asked vendors to complete the template and furnish it along with the vendor's response to the survey.</div>
