Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure



Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report



Conclusion Based on Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

     We have concluded in good faith that during
2016 we have manufactured and contracted with others to manufacture products with
conflict minerals necessary to their functionality or production. Based on a reasonable
country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), we have not yet been able to determine
all of the facilities used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products
or the countries of origin of all of the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products.



Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Efforts

     For 2016 we conducted a supply chain survey
with our suppliers to obtain country of origin information for the necessary conflict
minerals in our products using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. That
supply chain survey requests our suppliers to identify the smelters and refiners
and countries of origin of the conflict minerals in products they supply. We compared
the smelters and refiners identified in the surveys against the lists of facilities
that have received a conflict-free designation by the Conflict-Free Smelter Program
or other independent third party audit program. We documented country of origin
information for the smelters and refiners identified by the supply-chain survey.



      A summary of the countries of origin from
our RCOI is in the following table:
