 our services pursuant to contracts that typically expire within six months and that are dependent on the client’s cooperation. Consequently, many of our clients can terminate or significantly reduce their relationships with us on very short notice for any reason. In addition, a significant portion of our expenses are fixed and do not vary proportionately with fluctuations in revenues. If our clients terminate or significantly reduce their relationships with us on short notice for any reason, we may be unable to adjust our expenses in a timely manner which could have an immediate material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We plan our capital and operating expenditures based on our expectations of future revenue and, if revenues are below expectations in any given quarter or year, we may be unable to adjust capital or operating expenditures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could have an immediate material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. 

Future sales or the perception of future sales of a substantial amount of our common stock may depress the price of shares of our common stock. 

Future sales, issuances of shares under our Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2013 Plan"), and 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") or the availability of a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the future sales of equity securities. 

We may issue shares of our common stock or other securities from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions and investments. If any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of our common stock, or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may issue may in turn be substantial. We may also grant registration rights covering those shares of our common stock or other securities in connection with any such acquisitions and investments. 

We cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares of our common stock issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
