The undersigned, [Insert Name], [Insert Title] of [Insert Company Name], a [Insert state] corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies and delivers this Officer's Compliance Certificate (this "Certificate") in connection with that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of [Insert date] (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company and the Investors listed on the Schedule of Investors attached thereto (collectively, the "Investors" and each, individually, an "Investor").

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Certificate shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. All references herein to sections of the Purchase Agreement are to sections of the Purchase Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, unless otherwise expressly indicated.

The undersigned hereby represents and certifies to the Investors that the undersigned is a duly elected, qualified, and acting officer of the Company and, in such capacity, is authorized to execute and deliver this Certificate on behalf of the Company. The undersigned is delivering this Certificate pursuant to Section [Insert section reference] of the Purchase Agreement as a condition precedent to the obligations of the Investors to consummate the Closing contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The undersigned has made such investigation and review of the affairs, operations, condition, and prospects of the Company as the undersigned has deemed necessary and appropriate to enable the undersigned to make the certifications set forth herein. In making such certifications, the undersigned has relied upon the undersigned's personal knowledge of the Company's business and affairs, as well as upon inquiries of the Company's other officers, directors, employees, accountants, and legal counsel, as the undersigned has deemed appropriate.

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows:

Section 1. Representations and Warranties

The undersigned has reviewed the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section [Insert section reference] of the Purchase Agreement. The undersigned hereby certifies that each of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date hereof; provided, however, that with respect to any representation or warranty of the Company that is qualified by materiality, "Material Adverse Effect," or words of similar import, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects (without giving effect to any such materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or similar qualification) as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect as though such representation or warranty had been made on and as of the date hereof; and provided, further, that to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, such representation or warranty was true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable, with respect to those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date.

[If applicable, insert reference to any supplements to the Disclosure Schedules delivered by the Company pursuant to Section [__] of the Purchase Agreement. If the Company has delivered any updated, amended, or supplemental Disclosure Schedules at or prior to Closing, describe such supplements herein and confirm that the bring-down of representations and warranties takes into account all such supplements to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement.]

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects, or properties of the Company since the date of the Purchase Agreement.

[INSTRUCTION NOTE: The definition of "Material Adverse Effect" is set forth in the Purchase Agreement and should be reviewed carefully prior to execution of this Certificate. The officer executing this Certificate should confirm with the Company's counsel that no events or developments have occurred since the date of the Purchase Agreement that could constitute, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect, taking into account any exceptions or carve-outs set forth in the definition of Material Adverse Effect in the Purchase Agreement.]

Section 7. Authorized Shares

The undersigned hereby certifies that the authorized capital stock of the Company, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the Company's state of incorporation, is sufficient to permit the issuance and sale of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued and sold to the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The undersigned further certifies that such authorized capital stock is also sufficient to permit the issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any convertible securities, options, warrants, or other rights to acquire equity securities of the Company that are outstanding or that are to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. When issued and delivered to the Investors in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities, claims, security interests, restrictions, and charges of any kind, other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable federal and state securities laws and as set forth in the Transaction Agreements.

The capitalization table set forth in the Disclosure Schedules accurately reflects all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, and all outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities, and other rights to acquire equity securities of the Company, as of such time.

[INSTRUCTION NOTE: Prior to execution of this Certificate, the officer should confirm the accuracy of the capitalization table and all outstanding securities, including, without limitation: (i) authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) authorized and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (by series); (iii) options granted and outstanding under any equity incentive plan(s), together with the exercise prices, vesting schedules, and expiration dates applicable thereto; (iv) warrants outstanding, together with the exercise prices and expiration dates applicable thereto; (v) convertible notes or other convertible instruments outstanding, together with the conversion prices, outstanding principal amounts, and accrued interest applicable thereto; (vi) any other rights to acquire equity securities of the Company; and (vii) shares reserved for future issuance under any equity incentive plan(s) or otherwise. Any changes to the capitalization of the Company since the date of the Purchase Agreement should be disclosed and confirmed.]

Section 9. No Defaults

The undersigned further certifies that the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the Purchase Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock), do not and will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, any such material agreement, contract, instrument, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, license, judgment, order, injunction, writ, decree, or ruling, (b) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, or (c) violate or conflict with any provision of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof.
