<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top">We conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold (&#147;3TG Metals&#148;) contained in the Covered Products by asking FuelCell Energy&#146;s direct
suppliers to provide answers to the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&#147;CMRT&#148;) from the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (&#147;CFSI&#148;). The CFSI CMRT is generally regarded as the most widely-used reporting tool for conflict
minerals content and sourcing information and was developed by several of the world&#146;s leading consumer electronics companies. The CMRTs received from FuelCell Energy&#146;s suppliers were reviewed for completeness and consistency of answers.
Suppliers were required to provide corrections and clarifications where needed in follow up communications. Suppliers who remained non-responsive to email reminders were contacted by telephone and offered assistance. This assistance included, but
was not limited to, providing further information about our Conflict Minerals Compliance Program, explaining why the information was being collected, explaining how the information would be used and clarifying how the needed information could be
provided. If, after these efforts, a given supplier still did not provide the information requested, an escalation process was initiated. The escalation process consisted of direct outreach to these suppliers by FuelCell Energy employees requesting
their participation in our Conflict Minerals Compliance Program. As such, we believe our process was reasonably designed and performed in good faith, but there are inherent limitations in the information provided to us by third parties, including
the possibility of information being inaccurate, incomplete or falsified despite our efforts to validate and confirm the information. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

have reached this conclusion because we have been unable to determine the origin of all the 3TG Metals used in our products. Tracing minerals back to their mine of origin is a complex aspect of responsible sourcing in our supply chain. We have
determined that the information regarding smelters and refiners that we gathered from our supply chain was inconclusive. </TD></TR></TABLE>
