organizational changes and implementing additional protection technologies, which are likely to increase over time. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with any applicable federal or
state laws, rules, regulations and guidelines relating to data privacy and security could result in damage to our reputation and our relationship with our employees and consumers, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies or
consumers, including class action privacy litigation in certain jurisdictions, which could subject us to significant fines, sanctions, awards, penalties, corrective measures or judgments, any of which could result in costly investigations and
litigation, civil or criminal penalties (including against officers), operational changes and negative publicity that could adversely affect our reputation, as well as our results of operations and financial condition.

We employ third-party licensed software for use in our business, and the inability to maintain these licenses, errors in the software we license or the terms of open-source licenses could result in increased costs or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect our business.

Our business relies on certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to rely
on such third-party software in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently license, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to replace. In

with third parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Many of the risks associated with the use of third-party software cannot be eliminated, and these risks could negatively affect our business.

Additionally, the software powering our technology systems incorporates software covered by open-source licenses. The terms of many
open-source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that the licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to operate our systems. In the event that
portions of our proprietary software are determined to be subject to an open-source license, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code or be required to grant licenses to our proprietary software for free. To
