Demand Registration Rights

Indemnification
The Investors Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify holders of registrable securities in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and they are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.
Expenses of Registration
The Issuer will pay the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, of the shares registered by the demand, Form S-3 and piggyback registrations described above.

Lock-Up Agreement
In connection with the Offering, the Issuers directors and officers, including Mr. Lettmann, the Issuers executive officers and substantially all of the Issuers stockholders, including the LV Funds, entered into market lock-up agreements (the Lock-up Agreements) with the underwriters for the Offering, pursuant to which they agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from July 16, 2020 continuing through the date 180 days thereafter, except with the prior consent of Jefferies LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Piper Sandler & Co.
