3.1.8 SEC Reports, Financial Statements.
(a) | The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Company has delivered or made available (by filing on the Commission’s electronic data gathering and retrieval system (EDGAR)) to Gilead complete copies of its SEC Reports since March 14, 2018. As of its date, each SEC Report complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and other Laws applicable to it, and, as of its date, such SEC Report did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No inquiries or any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Gilead or its representatives or counsel will modify, amend or affect Gilead’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Reports and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. |
(b) | The financial statements, together with the related notes and schedules, of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission and all other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements, together with the related notes and schedules, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). |

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and each of its subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, Gilead has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Gilead, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include locating and/or borrowing shares of Common Stock) (“Short Sales”), of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that Gilead first received any materials setting forth the material pricing terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.

3.2.8 Legends. Gilead understands and agrees that the Shares (or uncertificated interests in the Shares) will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the Shares):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.
3.2.9 Reliance on Exemptions. Gilead understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Gilead’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Gilead set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Gilead to acquire the Shares.

5.11. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Gilead and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in this Agreement and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.16. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the parties when entering into this Agreement may be realized.
5.17. Investor Rights Agreement. For clarity, the parties agree and acknowledge that (a) this Third Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement is the “Purchase Agreement” under and as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement and (b) the Second Closing Shares, Third Closing Shares and Fourth Closing Shares constitute Registrable Securities thereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.1.46(a) through (c) thereof).
