 confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a
secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. The size and complexity of our information
technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors with whom we contract, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions
and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners, or vendors, from attacks by malicious third
parties, or from intentional or accidental physical damage to our systems infrastructure maintained by us or by third parties. Maintaining
the secrecy of this confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we
have taken steps to protect such information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will
prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential
information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination, or misuse of critical or sensitive
information. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation
or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud,
trickery, or other forms of deception, or for any other reason, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary
technology or information, or adversely affect our business or financial condition. Further, any such interruption, security breach,
loss, or disclosure of confidential information could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

Our
business and operations would suffer in the event of failures in our internal computer systems.

Despite
the implementation of security measures, our computer systems and those of our current and any future partners, contractors, and consultants
are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war, and telecommunication and electrical
failures. While we have not experienced any such material system failure, accident, or security breach to date, if such an event were
to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our manufacturing activities, development
programs, and business operations. For example, the loss of manufacturing records or clinical trial data from completed or future clinical
trials could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data.
