 business relationships with doctors, hospitals, and Life Sciences clients are unique and the healthcare
IT industry as a whole is to a certain extent, in its incipient stage, the application of many state and federal regulations to our business
operations and to our clients may be uncertain.

Additionally, a tendency to impose additional
regulation in the U.S. federal and state privacy and security laws (such as CCPA); fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback laws
and limitations on physician referrals; numerous quality measurement programs being adopted by our clients; and laws related to distribution
and marketing, including the off-label promotion of prescription drugs, which may be directly or indirectly applicable to our operations
and relationships or the business practices of our clients. It is possible that a review of our business practices or those of our clients
by courts or regulatory authorities could result in a determination that could adversely affect us.

In addition, the healthcare regulatory environment
may change in a way that restricts our existing operations or our growth. The healthcare industry generally and the EHR industry specifically
are expected to continue to undergo significant legal and regulatory changes for the foreseeable future, which could have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, and operating results. We cannot predict the effect of possible future enforcement, legislation,

We may be directly and indirectly liable for its client’s
non-compliance with laws and regulations addressing Electronic Health Records.

A number of relevant federal and state laws govern

and expert services in connection with EHR to a variety of healthcare providers. As a result, our platforms and services have to be designed
in a manner that facilitates our clients’ compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We cannot predict the content or effect
of possible changes to these laws or new federal and state laws that might govern these systems and services. Furthermore, we may be required
to obtain pertinent certifications or permissions to meet industry standards that could adversely impact our business.

The Company and its products are subject to
laws and regulations concerning privacy, information security, data protection, consumer protection, and protection of minors, and these
laws and regulations are continually evolving. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our
business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, or prospects.

In addition to healthcare-specific information
protection requirements, we store sensitive information, including personal information about our
