    <div style="text-align: justify;">Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#8220;DGCL&#8221;) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed
      action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
      or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees), judgments, fines and
      amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
      interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions (<font style="font-style: italic;">i.e.</font>, actions by or in the right of the corporation), except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys&#8217; fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and Section 145 of the DGCL
      requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;">The Registrant&#8217;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of the Registrant&#8217;s directors and officers for monetary damages to the
      fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Consequently, the Registrant&#8217;s directors will not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except liability:</div>

    <div style="text-align: justify;">Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to such amendment or repeal. If the
      DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors or officers of corporations, then the personal liability of the Registrant&#8217;s directors and officers will be further limited to the fullest extent permitted by
      the DGCL.</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its current directors and officers containing provisions that are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions
      contained in the DGCL. The indemnification agreements require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses
      incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The Registrant also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its future directors and officers.</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;">The Registrant maintains liability insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, which

    <div>The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:</div>
    <div> <br>
    </div>
    <div>(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:</div>
    <div style="text-indent: 36pt;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;</div>
    <div style="text-indent: 36pt;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
      represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
      which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
      price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#8220;Calculation of Registration Fee&#8221; table in the effective Registration Statement; and</div>
    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;</div>
    <div style="text-indent: 36pt;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div><font style="font-style: italic;">provided, however</font><font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
        those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.</font></div>
    <div><font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <br>
      </font></div>
    <div>(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
      at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.</div>
    <div> <br>
    </div>
    <div>(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.</div>
    <div> <br>
    </div>
    <div>The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#8217;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act),
      each filing of the Registrant&#8217;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
      securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.</div>
    <div> <br>
    </div>
    <div>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised
      that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
      by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection
      with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
      against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</div>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed
      action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
      or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
      amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
      interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions (
i.e.
, actions by or in the right of the corporation), except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and Section 145 of the DGCL
      requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
The Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of the Registrant's directors and officers for monetary damages to the
      fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Consequently, the Registrant's directors will not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except liability:
•
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
        the Registrant or its stockholders;
•
for any act or omission not in good faith or that
        involves intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law;
•
under Section 174 of the DGCL regarding unlawful
        dividends and stock purchases; or
•
for any transaction from which the director derived an
        improper personal benefit.
Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to such amendment or repeal. If the
      DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors or officers of corporations, then the personal liability of the Registrant's directors and officers will be further limited to the fullest extent permitted by
      the DGCL.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its current directors and officers containing provisions that are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions
      contained in the DGCL. The indemnification agreements require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses
      incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The Registrant also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its future directors and officers.
The Registrant maintains liability insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, which
      may be incurred by them in their capacity as such.
The underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the initial public offering of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock provides for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers by the
      underwriters against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with such offering.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
      represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
      which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
      price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
        those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
      at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act),
      each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
      securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised
      that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
      by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection
      with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
      against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be
      signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Jacksonville, Florida, on the 28th day of January, 2021.
