The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, customs, employment,
environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company is
subject to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits
involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of the Company’s products. These matters are in various stages of investigation and
litigation, and are being vigorously defended. Although the Company does not expect that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively,
will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be
rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.
