. federal regulations specifically pertaining to self-driving
equipment, the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has published recommended guidelines on driver assistance technologies
and retains the authority to investigate and/or take action on the safety of any vehicle, equipment or features operating on public roads.

The manufacturing of aerospace
components is a highly regulated industry. The safety factors necessary for glass components are significantly higher than for other
materials used in aircraft construction due to the loss of strength with duration of load, the variability in strength inherent in glass,
and the thickness tolerances and high notch sensitivity. As such, we continually work with our OEMs to ensure we are compliant with manufacturing
guidelines in the aerospace market.

We are also subject to federal,
state and foreign laws regarding data privacy, data security and the protection of data that we collect, process, share, disclose, transfer
and otherwise use, some of which contains personal information about identifiable individuals including, but not limited to, our customers,
employees, partners and vendors such as contact details, payment card information and other personal identification information. We are
therefore subject to U. S. laws (federal, state, local) and international laws and regulations, including in the European Economic
Area, or EEA, and the United Kingdom, regarding data privacy, data security and our use of such data.

Certain state data protection,
privacy, consumer protection, content regulation and other laws and regulations may be more restrictive than federal laws. There are
also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U. S. Congress and various state legislative bodies concerning data protection
that could affect us.

We are also subject to the
European Union General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and applicable national supplementing laws, or collectively, the EU GDPR. We
may also be subject to the GDPR. The GDPR imposes comprehensive data privacy compliance obligations in relation to our collection, processing,
sharing, disclosure, transfer and other use of data relating to an identifiable living individual or “personal data,” including
a principal of accountability and the obligation to demonstrate compliance through policies, procedures, training and audit.

The GDPR regulates cross-border
transfers of personal data out of the EEA and the United Kingdom. Case law from the CJEU states that reliance on the standard contractual
clauses - a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism - 
alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. On October
