, and the steps RWT will take to prevent misappropriation may not be sufficient. Any
enforcement efforts RWT undertakes, including litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive and could divert management’s attention,
which could harm its business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, existing intellectual property laws and contractual
remedies may afford less protection than needed to safeguard RWT’s potential intellectual property, as patent, copyright, trademark
and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. A number of foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights
to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, RWT’s potential intellectual property rights may not be as strong
or as easily enforced outside of the United States and efforts to protect against the unauthorized use of RWT’s intellectual property
rights, technology and other proprietary rights may be more expensive and difficult outside of the United States. If RWT fails to adequately
protect its future technology and intellectual property, its licensees and competitors may seek to use its technology and intellectual
property without the payment of license fees and royalties, which could weaken its competitive position, reduce its operating results
and increase the likelihood of costly litigation.

The intellectual property rights of others may prevent RWT from
commercializing its products or developing new technology or entering new markets, and RWT’s business may suffer or be exposed to
liability or costly litigation if third parties assert that RWT violates their intellectual property rights.

RWT’s success depends in part on its ability to commercialize
its products and continually adapt to incorporate new technologies and to expand into markets that may be created by new technologies.
However, RWT may become subject to intellectual property disputes that prevent it from commercializing its products, introducing new technologies
or expanding into new markets. Therefore, RWT’s success depends, in part, on its ability to develop and commercialize its products
without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of third parties. However, RWT may not be
aware that its products are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating third-party intellectual property rights and such third
parties may bring claims alleging such infringement, misappropriation or violation. For example, there may be issued patents of which
RWT is unaware, held by third parties that, if found to be valid and enforceable, could be alleged to be infringed by RWT’s offerings.
There also may be pending patent applications of which RWT is not aware that may result
