recent years, the stock market in general, Nasdaq, and the markets for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the operating performance of the companies
whose stock is experiencing those price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price
of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Following periods of such volatility in the market price of a company&rsquo;s
securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Because of the potential volatility of our
stock price, we are currently and may become the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in
substantial costs and divert management&rsquo;s attention and resources from our business.</FONT></P>

may purchase shares of our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price of our common stock.
Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the
number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium
to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the
price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover their short
position. This is often referred to as a &ldquo;short squeeze.&rdquo; A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in shares
of our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchase the shares
necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline.</FONT></P>

our common stock. To the extent that any of these outstanding options are exercised or we issue additional shares under our equity incentive
plans, there will be further dilution to new investors. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions
or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that
additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result
in further dilution to our shareholders.</FONT></P>

investor&rsquo;s individual circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not address (i) U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as
the gift or estate tax laws, (ii) state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations, (iii) the special tax rules that may apply to certain
investors, including, without limitation, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, controlled foreign corporations, passive
foreign investment companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, broker-dealers, grantor trusts, personal
holding companies, taxpayers who have elected mark-to-market accounting, tax-exempt entities, pension plans, entities or arrangements

(v) the effect, if any, of any alternative minimum tax, the special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code,
or the Medicare contribution tax imposed on net investment income. This discussion assumes that a non-U.S. holder will hold our
common stock issued pursuant to this offering as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).</FONT></P>

primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States

respect to the third bullet point above, a U.S. corporation generally is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its U.S. real property
interests (as defined in the Code and applicable Treasury regulations) equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its
worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are not currently
and do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, because the determination of whether we are a
USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property
interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC in the future.
Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our common
stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is regularly traded, as defined by applicable Treasury regulations,
on an established securities market during the calendar year in which the disposition occurs and such non-U.S. holder has held at all times during the shorter of the five-year period
ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s holding period, actually or constructively, 5% or less of our common
stock. If a non-U.S. holder holds or held (at any time during the relevant period) more than 5% of our common stock and if we were a
USRPHC at any time during the relevant period, such non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the net gain
derived from a taxable disposition at the income tax rates generally applicable to a United States person. Our common stock is currently
listed on the NASDAQ and we believe that, for as long as our common stock continues to be so listed, our common stock will be treated

some circumstances, Treasury regulations require backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, on reportable payments with respect

withholding agent certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E (or appropriate successor form), as applicable, or by otherwise establishing an exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
U.S. federal backup withholding may apply if the payor has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the non-U.S. holder is a United
States person. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any U.S. federal backup withholding generally will
be allowed as a credit against a non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and may entitle such non-U.S. holder
to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their own

from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.</FONT></P>

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder, commonly referred

a 30% withholding tax on dividends paid on our common stock and gross proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of our common
stock (whether such entity or institution is the beneficial owner of our common stock or acting as an intermediary), unless (i) if the
non-U.S. holder is a &ldquo;non-financial foreign entity,&rdquo; it provides the applicable withholding agent with certain documentation
relating to its substantial U.S. owners, or otherwise certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners, (ii) if the non-U.S.
holder is a &ldquo;foreign financial institution,&rdquo; it enters into an agreement with the Department of Treasury to, among other
things, report certain information regarding its accounts with or debt and equity interests held by certain United States persons and
withhold tax with respect to certain account holders and holders of debt and equity interests, and it establishes its compliance with
these rules by providing to the applicable withholding agent an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable IRS Form W-8 (or an appropriate
successor form) or (iii) the non-U.S. holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and establishes such exemption by
providing the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable IRS Form W-8 (or an appropriate successor
form). However, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury regulations that eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds (but
not on payments of dividends). Pursuant to the preamble to the proposed Treasury regulations, any applicable withholding agent may (but
is not required to) rely on this proposed change to FATCA withholding until final Treasury regulations are issued or until the proposed
Treasury regulations are withdrawn. The rules relating to FATCA described above may be modified by an applicable intergovernmental agreement
between the United States and the jurisdiction in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident or is organized.</FONT></P>

amended bylaws provide that only our board of directors, the chairman of the board, the president or the chief executive officer may
call a special meeting of stockholders. Because our stockholders do not have the right to call a special meeting, a stockholder could
not force stockholder consideration of a proposal over the opposition of the board of directors by calling a special meeting of stockholders
prior to such time as a majority of the board of directors believed or the chief executive officer believed the matter should be considered
or until the next annual meeting provided that the requestor met the notice requirements. The restriction on the ability of stockholders
to call a special meeting means that a proposal to replace the board also could be delayed until the next annual meeting.</FONT></P>

amended bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative form, the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf
of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder, employee
or agent of the Company to the Company or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any director, officer, stockholder,
employee or agent of the Company arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or our amended
bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Company governed
by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware, provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding
shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such
other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff
asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. This
exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon
federal law claims, Section&nbsp;27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any
duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Unless we consent in writing to the selection
of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving
any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Our bylaws also provide that any person or entity
purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented
to this choice of forum provision. It is possible that a court of law could rule that the choice of forum provision contained in our
bylaws is inapplicable or unenforceable if it is challenged in a proceeding or otherwise. Additionally, the forum selection clause in
our amended bylaws may limit our stockholders&rsquo; ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.</FONT></P>

and whether a bidder&rsquo;s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. For example, in the case of a debt security, the
clearing spread could be indicated as a number of &ldquo;basis points&rdquo; above an index treasury note. Of course, many pricing methods
