 disruption in our business model, which may materially impact our results of operations and financial
condition.

If
we fail to anticipate the impact on our business of changing technology, our ability to successfully operate may be materially impaired.
Our business could also be affected by potential technological changes. Such changes could disrupt the demand for products from current
customers, create coverage issues or impact the frequency or severity of losses, or reduce the size of the ultimate market, causing our
business to decline. We may not be able to respond effectively to these changes, which could have a material effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.

Claims
by others that we infringe or have infringed their proprietary technology or other intellectual property rights could harm our business.

Companies
in the technology industries are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual
property rights. In addition, certain companies and rights holders seek to enforce and monetize patents or other intellectual property
rights they own, 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
