(a) The Company and each of its subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all Intellectual Property (as defined below) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement, in either case that are necessary or material to the conduct of the Company’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted (and, as to such rights that are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement, that the Company has plans to renew, replace or otherwise address, if and to the extent material). The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Intellectual Property of others (including as a result of the manufacture, use, provision, sale, or other exploitation of any products or services of the Company or any of its subsidiaries). There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to or relating to their Intellectual Property. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property and of all trade secrets and other confidential information of any third party in the possession of the Company or its subsidiaries. There are no current exclusive rights or licenses granted to any third party with respect to the Intellectual Property of the Company or its subsidiaries.

(b) The software, hardware, networks, communications devices and facilities, and other technology and related services used by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Systems”) are reasonably sufficient for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted and for the reasonably anticipated needs of such businesses. The Company and its subsidiaries have arranged for disaster recovery and back-up services sufficient to comply with any and all applicable Laws and adequate to meet its needs in the event the performance of any of the Systems or any material component thereof is temporarily or permanently impeded or degraded due to any natural disaster or other event outside the reasonable control of the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable. The Company and its subsidiaries have established and maintain industry standard measures to ensure that the Systems, and all software, information and data residing on its Systems or otherwise owned by, licensed, used or distributed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, are free of any computer virus, Trojan horse, worm, time bomb, or similar code designed to disable, damage, degrade or disrupt the operation of, permit unauthorized access to, erase, destroy or modify any software, hardware, network or other technology (“Malicious Code”). Since December 31, 2014, no Malicious Code or error or defect has caused a material disruption, degradation or failure of any of the Systems or of the conduct of the businesses of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or given rise to any material liability to the Company or its subsidiaries, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there has been no material unauthorized intrusion or breach of the security of any of the Systems.

This press release includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements, usually containing the words “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “expect” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to continue to manage expenses and cash burn rate at sustainable levels, continued acceptance of the Company’s products in the marketplace, the effect of global economic conditions on the ability and willingness of customers to purchase its systems and the timing of such purchases, competitive factors, changes resulting from healthcare policy in the United States, including changes in government reimbursement of procedures, dependence upon third-party vendors, timing of regulatory approvals, the impact of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and our response to it, and other risks discussed in the Company’s periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release. There can be no assurance that the Company will recognize revenue related to its purchase orders and other commitments in any particular period or at all because some of these purchase orders and other commitments are subject to contingencies that are outside of the Company’s control. In addition, these orders and commitments may be revised, modified, delayed or canceled, either by their express terms, as a result of negotiations, or by overall project changes or delays.
