Hewlett-Packard is committed to compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations,
including the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. HP's goal is to
exceed compliance obligations by meeting the requirements of the RoHS Directive on a worldwide basis.
By July 1, 2006, RoHS substances will be virtually eliminated (virtually = to levels below legal limits) for
all HP electronic products subject to the RoHS Directive, except where it is widely recognized that there is
no technically feasible alternative (as indicated by an exemption under the EU RoHS Directive).
