 could have a material adverse effect on our business. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could seriously harm our operations and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.

A variety of risks associated with marketing our product candidates internationally could materially adversely affect our business.

We may seek regulatory approval of our product candidates outside of the United States and, accordingly, we expect that we will be subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries. These risks include navigating differing regulatory requirements and reimbursement systems, as well as coping with unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls, and other regulatory demands. We may also encounter economic challenges such as inflation or political instability in certain foreign markets. Compliance with local tax, employment, immigration, and labor laws for employees living or traveling abroad will be necessary, alongside managing foreign taxes, including payroll withholding.

Foreign currency fluctuations could increase our operating expenses and reduce revenue, adding further complexity to our international operations. We may experience difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, particularly in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States, leading to workforce uncertainty. There is also the potential for liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or similar foreign regulations. Enforcing our contractual and intellectual property rights may be challenging, especially in countries that do not provide the same level of protection as the United States. Additionally, production shortages could arise from disruptions in raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad, and business interruptions could result from geopolitical actions such as war and terrorism. Collectively, these and other risks related to international operations could materially and adversely affect our ability to achieve or maintain profitable operations.

Section IX of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Section 7.4 of our amended and restated bylaws provides that “unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant
