 claims against us are successful, we may have to pay substantial monetary damages
or discontinue any of our practices that are found to be in violation of another party’s rights. We also may have to seek a license
to continue such practices, which may significantly increase our operating expenses or may not be available to us at all. Also, the efforts
we may take to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our potential future intellectual
property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality
of our trade secrets and know-how, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

The Company has not currently filed for any protection
of its intellectual property. We expect to rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how protection for our confidential and proprietary
information, and we have taken security measures to protect this information. These measures, however, may not provide adequate protection
for our trade secrets, know-how, or other confidential information. Among other things, we seek to protect our trade secrets, know-how,
and confidential information by entering into confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our employees,
collaborators, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors, and other third parties. We cannot guarantee that we have entered into such
agreements with each party that may have or have had access to our trade secrets or proprietary technology and processes. Moreover, there
can be no assurance that any confidentiality agreements that we have with our employees, consultants, or other third parties will provide
meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how, and confidential information or will provide adequate remedies in the event of
unauthorized use or disclosure of such information. Despite these efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose
our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Monitoring
unauthorized uses and disclosures is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary technologies
will be effective. Accordingly, there also can be no assurance that our trade secrets or know-how will not otherwise become known or be
independently developed by competitors.

Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed
or misappropriated a trade secret can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, trade
secrets may be independently developed by others in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us. If any of our confidential or proprietary
