 have purchased or have otherwise obtained. As we gain an increasingly high public profile, the possibility of intellectual
property rights claims against us grows. From time to time, third parties may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property
rights against us. Although we may have meritorious defenses, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against
these allegations or in reaching a business resolution that is satisfactory to us. Our competitors and others may now and in the future
have significantly larger and more mature patent portfolios than us. In addition, future litigation may involve patent holding companies
or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product or service revenue and against whom our own patents may therefore provide
little or no deterrence or protection. Many potential litigants, including competitors and patent-holding companies, have the ability
to dedicate substantial resources to the assertion of their intellectual property rights. Any claim of infringement by a third party,
even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, could distract our management from our
business and could require us to cease use of such intellectual property. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery
required in connection with intellectual property litigation, we risk compromising our confidential information during this type of litigation.
We may be required to pay substantial damages, royalties or other fees in connection with a claimant securing a judgment against us,
we may be subject to an injunction or other restrictions that prevent us from using or distributing our intellectual property, or from
operating under our brand, or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from distributing our offerings or a portion thereof, which
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

With
respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to seek out a license to continue operations found or alleged to violate
such rights, which may not be available, or if available, may not be available on favorable or commercially reasonable terms and may
significantly increase our operating expenses. Some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the
same technology licensed to us. If a third party does not offer us a license to its intellectual property on reasonable terms, or at
all, we may be required to develop alternative, non-infringing technology, which could require significant time (during which we would
be unable to continue to offer our affected offerings), effort and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Any of these events
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
