 in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, cloud-based infrastructure, data center facilities, encryption and
authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to customers, and other functions. We also rely on third-party service providers
to assist with our clinical trials, provide other products or services, or otherwise to operate our business. Our ability to monitor these
third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures
in place. If our third-party service providers experience a Security Breach or other interruption, we could experience adverse consequences.
While we may be entitled to damages if our third-party service providers fail to satisfy their privacy or security-related obligations
to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such award. In addition, supply-chain attacks
have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties’ infrastructure in our supply chain or our
third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could
result in a breach of or disruption to our information technology systems (including our services) or the third-party information technology
systems that support us and our services.

While we have implemented
security measures designed to protect against Security Breaches, these measures may not be effective. We take steps designed to detect,
mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities in our information technology systems, including our products, hardware and/or software, including
that of third parties upon which we rely. We may not, however, detect or remediate all such vulnerabilities including on a timely basis.
Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures and patched designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities.
Vulnerabilities could be exploited and result in a security incident.

Any of the previously identified
or similar threats could cause a Security Breach or other interruption and disrupt our ability and that of third parties with whom we
work to provide our services.

We may expend significant
resources, fundamentally change our business activities and practices, or modify our operations, including clinical trial activities,
or information technology in an effort to protect against Security Breaches and to mitigate, detect and remediate actual and potential
vulnerabilities. Applicable Data Protection Obligations may require us to implement specific security measures or use industry-standard
or reasonable measures to protect against Security Breaches. Our security measures, or those of third parties with whom we work, may not
be effective in protecting against
