 superior to our own, regardless of our efforts to maintain the confidentiality of our trade secrets and other proprietary information.

If we are unable to effectively protect our technologies, intellectual
property, trade secrets and other proprietary information, our competitive position, business, financial condition, and results of operations
could be harmed.

A number of foreign countries do not protect intellectual
property rights to the same extent as the United States. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily
enforced outside of the United States and efforts to protect against the infringement, misappropriation or unauthorized use of our intellectual
property rights, technology and other proprietary rights may be difficult and costly outside of the United States. Furthermore, legal
standards relating to the intellectual property rights are uncertain and any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, intellectual
property laws may compromise our ability to enforce our patent rights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.

Patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property
laws are geographical in scope and vary throughout the world. Some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to
the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In addition, trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect and some
courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets and know-how. If any of our trade
secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, we would have no right to
prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with us, and our competitive position would be materially and
adversely harmed. Further, even if we engaged local counsel in key foreign jurisdictions, policing the unauthorized use of our
intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions may be difficult or impossible. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not
be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States, and efforts to protect against the infringement, misappropriation
or unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, technology and other proprietary rights may be difficult and costly outside
of the United States. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual
property rights are uncertain, and any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, intellectual property laws may compromise our
ability to enforce our patent rights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.

We may need to defend ourselves against claims that we infringe,
have misappropriated or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others, which may be time-consuming and would
