transportation. Our transition to a largely virtual environment has further helped reduce congestion and pollution. Our relatively small
headquarters space (approximately 8,000 square feet) has further reduced our carbon footprint. In addition, we participate in our buildings
active recycling program.

For the automobile fleet for our U.S. based sales force, we strive
to keep the carbon footprint of the fleet low through replacing vehicles roughly every three years to take advantage of the latest technology
regarding fuel economy. In our office and manufacturing facility in Germany, we offer incentives to our employees to lease bikes or e-bikes
in order to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, and we strive to reduce energy consumption with a variety of measures including obtaining
more than 90% of electrical power from renewable sources. We continue to consider other ways in which we can conduct our business in an
environmentally friendly manner.
