 when patent protection is not appropriate or obtainable. To
protect proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with
our employees, consultants and others. These agreements may not prevent disclosure of confidential information nor result in the effective
assignment to us of intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy if unauthorized disclosure of confidential information
or other breaches of the agreements occur. Others may independently discover or reverse engineer our trade secrets and proprietary information
licensed to us or that we own in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and
is using trade secrets licensed to us or that we own is difficult, expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In
the United States, trade secret violations are both a matter of federal law and state law, and the criteria for protection of trade secrets
under state law can vary among different jurisdictions. Courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets
or unpatented proprietary technology. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our
proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

Third parties may assert
that our employees or consultants have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or misappropriated trade secrets.

We currently
and may in the future employ individuals who previously worked with other companies, including our possible competitors. Although we try
to ensure that our employees and consultants do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may
be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed
intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of a former employer or other third party. Litigation
may ensue on these claims. If we fail in defending against any such claims or settling those claims, in addition to paying monetary damages
or a settlement payment, we may be subject to an injunction or other remedies. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims,
litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

We may be involved in litigation
or other proceedings relating to patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights, which could cause substantial costs and
liability.

There may be
patents and patent applications owned by our competitors, which, if determined to be valid and enforceable, may be infringed by us. We
