 to obtain approval of competing product candidates following our patent
expiration and launch their product earlier than might otherwise be the case.

Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance
with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent
protection could be reduced or eliminated as a result of non-compliance with these requirements.

Periodic maintenance fees on any issued patent are due to be paid to
the USPTO and other patent agencies in other jurisdictions in several stages over the lifetime of the patent. The USPTO and various national
or international patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions
during the patent application process. In certain circumstances, we rely on our licensing partners to pay these fees due to U.S. and non-U.S. patent
agencies and to take the necessary action to comply with these requirements with respect to our licensed intellectual property. While
an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there
are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or
complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction(s). Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse
of patent rights include, but are not limited to, failure to timely file national and regional stage patent applications based on our
international patent applications, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees
and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If we or our licensors fail to maintain the patents and patent applications
covering our product candidates or any future product candidate, our competitors might be able to enter the market earlier than anticipated,
which would have an adverse effect on our business.

Third party claims or litigation alleging infringement, misappropriation
or other violations of third-party patents or other proprietary rights or seeking to invalidate our patents or other proprietary
rights, may delay or prevent the development and commercialization of our product candidates and any future product candidate.

Our commercial success depends in part on our avoidance of infringement,
misappropriation and other violations of the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. However, our research, development and
commercialization activities may be subject to claims that we infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate patents or other intellectual
property rights owned or controlled by third parties. Our competitors
