Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree, ruling or decision of any Governmental Entity that is expressly applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the Company’s knowledge, none of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees are obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with his or her employment obligations to the Company or its Subsidiaries or that would conflict with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted, except for such contracts and other agreements, judgments, decrees and orders as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

Section 3.15 Transactions with Affiliates. Except for compensation arrangements with respect to which all required disclosures have been made in the SEC Documents, since January 1, 2016, there have been no loans, leases or other agreements, understandings or continuing transactions between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any Person that the Company believes is the owner of five percent or more of the Common Stock then outstanding or any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer, director, or stockholder has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, or any respective family member or Affiliate of such officer, director or stockholder, on the other hand.

Section 3.16 Insurance.

The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew or extend its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or will not be able to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without an increase in cost significantly greater than general increases in cost experienced for similar companies in similar industries with respect to similar coverage.
