 applications
filed before November 29, 2000, and certain U. S. patent applications filed after that date that will not be filed outside the United
States, remain confidential until patents issue. Patent applications in the United States and elsewhere are published approximately 18
months after the earliest filing for which priority is claimed, with such earliest filing date being commonly referred to as the priority
date. Therefore, patent applications covering our new products or technology could have been filed by others without our knowledge. Additionally,
pending patent applications which have been published can, subject to certain limitations, be later amended in a manner that could cover
our technologies, our new products, or the use of our new products. Third party intellectual property right holders may also actively
bring infringement claims against us. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully settle or otherwise resolve such infringement
claims. If we are unable to successfully settle future claims on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to engage in or continue
costly, unpredictable, and time-consuming litigation and may be prevented from or experience substantial delays in pursuing the development
of and/or marketing our new products. If we fail in any such dispute, in addition to being forced to pay damages, we may be temporarily
or permanently prohibited from commercializing our new products that are held to be infringing. We might, if possible, also be forced
to redesign our new products so that we no longer infringe the third-party intellectual property rights. Any of these events, even if
we were ultimately to prevail, could require us to divert substantial financial and management resources that we would otherwise be able
to devote to our business.

Third-party
claims of intellectual property infringement may prevent or delay our development and commercialization efforts.

Our
commercial success depends in part on our avoiding infringement of the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. Numerous U. S.
and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications, which are owned by third parties, exist in the fields in which we are developing
our products. As our industries expand and more patents are issued, the risk increases that our products may be subject to claims of
infringement of the patent rights of third parties.

Third
parties may assert that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization. There may be third-party patents or patent
applications with claims to systems, apparatuses or methods related to the use of our products. There may be currently pending patent
applications that may later result in issued patents that our products may infringe
