Texas

On May 21, 2008, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) adopted new rules on recycling computer
equipment. As a result of the new recycling rules the TCEQ has imposed, TriGem USA is offering a drop-off and
mail-back program that meets the requirements of the Texas recycling requirements. The program is accepting all
current and past Averatec branded PC's.

To recycle an Averatec PC, you can drop-off your electronic waste to Asset Management & Services. Their location
and hours of operation can be found at www.retirepc.com. If the drop-off location is inconvenient due to distance,
you may contact our customer service department at (714)429-8999 to request a box with a pre-paid waybill sent to
you so you can send the unit to be recycled. Regardless which option you choose, there is no fee for submitting your
PC for recycling. To find out more about Texas's e-waste and recycling laws, visit:
