Such agreements or provisions
may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of
unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, and we may not be able to prevent such unauthorized disclosure. Notwithstanding
any such agreements, there is no assurance that our current or former manufacturers or suppliers will not use and/or supply our competitors
with our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information to which these parties gained access or generated from their relationship
with us. This could lead to our competitors gaining access to patented or other proprietary information. Moreover, if a party to an agreement
with us has an overlapping or conflicting obligation to a third party, our rights in and to certain intellectual property could be undermined.
Monitoring unauthorized disclosure is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to prevent such disclosure are, or
will be, adequate. If we were to enforce a claim that a third party had illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets, it would be
expensive and time-consuming, the outcome would be unpredictable, and any remedy may be inadequate. In addition, courts outside the United States
may be less willing to protect trade secrets.

In addition, competitors could
purchase our products and attempt to replicate some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts, willfully
infringe our intellectual property rights, design around our protected technology or develop their own competitive technologies that fall
outside of our intellectual property rights. If our intellectual property does not adequately protect our market share against competitors’
products and methods, our competitive position could be adversely affected, as could our business.

Our issued patents could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

If we or any of our partners
were to initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering one of our products or services, the defendant in
such litigation could counterclaim that our patent is invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant
counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure
to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness or non-enablement, or failure to claim patent eligible
subject matter. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with
