to players or other third parties, or our privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized
release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other player data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation
or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our players to lose trust in us, which could have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation or prospects. Additionally, if third parties
we work with, such as players, vendors, or developers violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may also put our clients’
and their patients’ information at risk and could, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations, reputation, or prospects.

The Company and its products are subject to
laws and regulations concerning healthcare provider’s practices and patients’ information protection. Our actual or perceived
failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, or
prospects.

As part of the operation of our business, we,
and our subcontractors may have access to, or our clients may provide to us, individually identifiable health information related to the
treatment, payment, and operations of providers’ practices. In the United States, government and industry legislation and rulemaking,
especially HIPAA, HITECH, and standards and requirements published by industry groups such as the Joint Commission require the use of
standard transactions, standard identifiers, security other standards and requirements for the transmission of certain electronic health
information. National standards and procedures underripe include the “Standards for Electronic Transactions and Code Sets”
(the “Transaction Standards”); the “Security Standards” (the “Security Standards”); and the “Standards
for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information” (the “Privacy Standards”). The Transaction Standards require
the use of specified data coding, formatting, and content in all specified “healthcare Transactions” conducted electronically.
The Security Standards require the adoption of specified types of security measures for certain electronic health information, which is
called Protected Health Information (“PHI”). The Privacy Standards grant a number of rights to individuals as to their PHI
and restrict the use and disclosure of PHI by “Covered Entities,” defined as “health plans,” “healthcare
providers,” and “healthcare clearinghouses.”

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply
with the aforementioned laws and regulations in connection with our products and services provided to our
