ly exploiting products similar to ours.

Our patent applications may not result in issued patents, which
may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours. The
registration of patents involves complex legal and factual questions and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. As a result, we
cannot be certain that our patent applications will result in patents being issued, or that our patents and any patents that may be
issued to us will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Numerous patents and pending patent applications
owned by others exist in the fields in which we have developed and is and will be developing our technology. Many of these existing
patents and patent applications might have priority over our patent applications and could subject our patent applications to
rejection. Furthermore, patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules and procedures that differ from
those of the United States, and thus we cannot be certain that foreign patent applications related to issued U.S. patents will be
issued.

Many patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy
for a period of time after they are filed, and since publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature tends to lag behind
actual discoveries by several months, we cannot be certain that we will be the first creator of inventions covered by any patent application
we make or that we will be the first to file patent applications on such inventions. Because some patent applications are maintained in
secrecy for a period of time, there is also a risk that we could adopt a technology without knowledge of a pending patent application,
which technology would infringe a third-party patent once that patent is issued.

Even if our patent applications succeed and we are issued patents
in accordance with them, it is still uncertain whether these patents will be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in
scope in the future. In addition to those who may claim priority, any of our existing or pending patents may also be challenged by
others on the basis that they are otherwise invalid or unenforceable. The rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us
with meaningful protection or competitive advantages, and some foreign countries provide significantly less effective patent
enforcement than what the United States provides. In addition, the claims under any patents that are issued to us may not be broad
enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve results similar to ours. The intellectual
property rights of others could also bar or limit us from licensing, exploiting or enforcing any patents issued
