</div>
<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and
workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year, however, certain components
and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to
these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly
against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend
experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters which might
require a broad-based correction, separate reserves are established when such events are
identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated.
</div>
<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">A reconciliation of changes in the warranty reserve for the periods covered in this report is as

<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In the normal course of business we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in
our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and others.
Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications
to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees
and indemnifications have not historically nor do we expect them to have a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operations, although indemnifications associated with our
actions generally have no dollar limitations.
</div>
<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we have entered into select
guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of commitments
under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or
seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and
warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained
under the applicable contract. With respect to sale transactions, we also routinely enter into
non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with
respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse
impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
