Annual Return Rate

<0.5% Annual Return Rate (ARR) indicates the average against products shipped.

ARR includes all reasons for returns (failures, handling damage, NDF), but

does not include inventory credit returns.

Component Design Life

5 years (minimum) Component design life is defined as a.) the time period before identified

wear-out mechanisms impact the failure rate, or b.) the time period up to the

wear-out point when useful component life expires.
