ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS
Our operations are subject to various laws and regulations both domestically and abroad. In the United States, federal, state and local regulations
impose standards on our workplace and our relationship with the environment. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(“EPA”), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and other federal agencies have the authority to promulgate regulations
which may impact our operations. In particular, we are subject to legislation placing restrictions on our generation, emission, treatment, storage
and disposal of materials, substances and wastes. Such legislation includes: the Toxic Substances Control Act; the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; the Safe Drinking Water Act; and the Comprehensive Environmental Response and the
Compensation and Liability Act (also known as Superfund). We are also subject to the requirements of the Consumer Product Safety
Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, in addition to regulations concerning employee health and safety matters.
Our manufacturing and assembly operations expose us to claims related to environmental matters. Although compliance with federal, state, local
and international environmental legislation has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in the past,
there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with such environmental matters in the future. Future
events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations, enforcement policies or the discovery of contamination on sites owned or operated by
us, may give rise to additional compliance costs or operational interruptions which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. While we are not aware of any existing conditions that are likely to result in material costs or
liabilities to us, there can be no assurance that all potential instances of soil or ground water contamination have been identified, even where
environment site assessments have been conducted. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that previously unknown environmental conditions,
or known conditions which have not been fully evaluated, will not be discovered at any of our properties, whether presently or formerly owned
or leased by us, or that the cost of remediating such conditions will not be material.
