Environmental Laws
Our products and manufacturing process are subject to numerous governmental regulations, which cover both the use of various materials as well
as environmental concerns. Environmental issues such as pollution and climate change have had significant legislative and regulatory efforts on a global
basis, and there are expected to be additional changes to the regulations in these areas. These changes could directly increase the cost of energy, which
may have an impact on the way we manufacture products or utilize energy to produce our products. In addition, any new regulations or laws in the
environmental area might increase the cost of raw materials we use in our products and the cost of compliance. Other regulations in the environmental
area may require us to continue to monitor and ensure proper disposal or recycling of our products. To the best of our knowledge, we maintain
compliance with all current government regulations concerning our production processes for all locations in which we operate. Since we operate on a
global basis, this is also a complex process that requires continual monitoring of regulations and an ongoing compliance process to ensure that we and
our suppliers are in compliance with all existing regulations.
