`
`Based upon my personal knowledge, I affirm that the Synergy Manual
`
`was drafted in 2007 and included in the product packaging for UK-based
`
`consumers who purchased the product depicted therein. UK consumers purchased
`
`thousands of Synergy carriers prior to 2015. To secure this manual, consumers or
`
`other interested persons needed only to purchase the Synergy Carrier and open the
`
`packaging wherein this product manual would be found.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that, to
`
`the best of my knowledge and information, the foregoing is true and correct.

`SIGNED this 25 day of October, 2024 in Stockholm Sweden.
