 inability could impair our ability to grow or obtain access to technology or products that may be important to the development of our business. 68 Our Bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, to the extent enforceable, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees. The Charter provides that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law:

| ● | any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; |

| ● | any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; |

| ● | any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees arising under the DGCL, the Charter, or the Bylaws; |

| ● | any action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Charter or our Bylaws; |

| ● | any action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and |

| ● | any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal-affairs doctrine. |

This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the Charter further provides that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant named in such complaint. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid and several state trial courts have enforced such provisions and required that suits asserting Securities Act claims be filed in federal court, there is no guarantee that courts of appeal will affirm the enforceability of such provisions and a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the
