Our internal manufacturing consists primarily of final assembly, testing, and quality control. We have worked with a number of our vendors to design custom components to meet our specific needs. Our quality assurance program provides for testing of all sub-assemblies at key stages in the assembly process, as well as testing of finished products produced both internally and sourced through third parties. In an effort to control manufacturing costs, we have outsourced the production of certain parts and components, as well as finished goods in certain product lines, to a small number of vendors in various locations throughout the world, primarily in the United States and Asia. </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We do not source 3TG minerals directly from mines or smelters and do not directly incorporate 3TG minerals into the products we manufacture. However, small amounts of 3TG minerals (specifically, tin and tantalum) may be included in certain electrical components that we procure from suppliers. We must rely on our direct suppliers of these components to provide information on the origin of the 3TG, including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers.

We distributed the Template to six suppliers.
