 Strategic Licensing Partners 
 Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. and Hitachi Maxell, Ltd. have historically been the
primary
 manufacturers of DLTtape media cartridges for the DLT & Storage Systems group.
 The DLT & Storage Systems group's license agreements with Fuji and Maxell allow
 those companies to independently sell DLTtape media cartridges for which the
DLT

 technology and provide customers with multiple sources for DLTtape media
 cartridges.

 Manufacturing 
 The DLT & Storage Systems group manufactures DLTtape drives, autoloaders and
 solid state storage systems in its Colorado Springs, Colorado facility and tape
 libraries in its Irvine, California facility. The DLT & Storage Systems group
also has
 a logistics site in Dundalk, Ireland. All of the DLT & Storage Systems group's
 DLTtape media cartridges are manufactured by third parties-primarily Fuji and
 Maxell.
