This
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Agreement") is made
effective as of May 2007 by and between NewCardio, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and Xxxxxxx Londoner (the "Purchaser").
In
consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth below, the
Company and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchase
and Sale of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Stock Agreement,
the Company agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from
the Company on the Closing (as defined below) 4,200,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, (the "Shares"), at a price of $0.02 (two cents)
per share (the "Purchase
Price"), for an aggregate
purchase price of $84,000.00.
2. Closing.
The purchase and sale of the
Shares shall
occur at a closing (the "Closing") to be held
on the date first set forth above, or at any other time mutually agreed upon by
the Company and Purchaser. The Closing will take place at the principal office
of the Company or at such other place as shall be designated by the Company. At
the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the aggregate Purchase Price set forth
above to the Company by wire transfer, check or any other method of payment
permissible under applicable law and approved by the Company's Board of
Directors (or any combination of such methods of payment), and the Company will
issue, as promptly thereafter as practicable, a stock certificate, registered in
the name of the Purchaser, reflecting the Shares.
3. Repurchase Option.
A. In the event the Purchaser
ceases to be an employee, consultant, advisor, or officer
of the Company (a "Service
Provider") for any or no reason, including, without limitation, by reason
of Purchaser's death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), "Disability"), resignation or termination, the Company shall,
from such time (as determined by the Company in its discretion),
have an irrevocable, exclusive option to repurchase (the "Repurchase Option") any
Shares which have not yet been released from the Repurchase Option (the "Unreleased Shares"), at a price per share equal to the
Purchase Price (the "Repurchase Price"). The Company may exercise its
Repurchase Option as to any or all of the Unreleased Shares at any time after
the Purchaser ceases to be a Service Provider; provided,
however, that without requirement of further
action on the part of either party hereto, the Repurchase Option shall be deemed
to have been automatically exercised as to all Unreleased Shares at 5:00 p.m
(Pacific Time) as of the date that is 60 days following the date Purchaser
ceases to be a Service Provider, unless the Company declines in writing to
exercise its Repurchase Option prior to such time; and provided,
further, that notwithstanding the above, the Repurchase Option shall not
be deemed to have been automatically exercised, and shall instead be deemed to
become temporarily unexercisable as of such time and date in any case where such
automatic exercise would result in a violation of applicable taw by reason of
the Company having insufficient assets to meet its obligations or otherwise,
including, without limitation, a violation of any provision of Sections 500
through 505 of the California Corporations Code and Section 160 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The Repurchase Option shall once again be deemed
exercisable (or, as provided above, exercised) as soon as a violation of
applicable law would not result from its exercise.
4
B. If the Company decides not to exercise
its Repurchase Option, it shall notify the Purchaser
in writing within 60 days of the date Purchaser ceases to be a Service Provider.
If the Repurchase
Option is exercised or deemed exercised, within 60 days of the date Purchaser
ceases to be a Service Provider, the Company shall deliver payment to the
Purchaser, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 8 hereof), by any of
the following methods, in the Company's sole discretion: (i) delivering to the
Purchaser or the Purchaser's executor a bank or certified check in the amount of
the aggregate Repurchase Price, (ii) canceling an amount of the Purchaser's
indebtedness to the Company equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price, provided,
however, that Purchaser does not contest the amount of said indebtedness, or
(iii) any combination of (i) and (ii) such that the combined payment and
cancellation of agreed upon indebtedness equals the aggregate Repurchase
Price.
C. In the
event that the Repurchase Option is exercised or deemed exercised and the
Company
fails to deliver the aggregate Repurchase Price to the Purchaser, the sole right
and remedy of the Purchaser thereafter shall be to receive the Repurchase Price,
and in no case shall the Purchaser have any claim of ownership as to any of the
Unreleased Shares.
D. The
Company in its sole discretion may assign all or part of the Repurchase
Option to
one or more employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or
other persons or organizations.
4.
Release of Shares from
Repurchase Option; Vesting.
This
Repurchase Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, according to the
following vesting schedule:
A. 1,050,000
of the Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the date
of this
Agreement.
B. 1,750,000
of the Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option upon satisfactory
completion (as determined by the Board of Directors in a commercially reasonable
manner) of both (1) an intern debt or equity financing in which at least
$450,000 of new money is raised for the Company and (2) a reverse merger with a
public shell corporation.
C. 700,000
of the Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option upon the closing
of an equity financing (i) in which at least $5,000,000 of new money is raised,
and such $5,000,000 represents not more than 16.7% of the fully diluted
capitalization of the Company following such closing, including all shares of
Common Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding, all shares of Common Stock
subject to stock options then outstanding or reserved for issuance under the
Company's Stock Plan, and all shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock subject
to then outstanding stock purchase warrants or other securities convertible into
shares of the Company's capital stock, or (ii) in
which at least $5,000,000 of new money is raised on such other terms as
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors at such
time.
D. 700,000
of the Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option upon the first
anniversary following a six month period in which the public market value of the
Company has continuously been $100,000,000 or more.
5.

impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the
foregoing restrictions until the end of any such restriction
period.
E. Unreleased
Shares. No Unreleased Shares subject to the Repurchase Option
contained

expressly permitted or required by Section 3.
F. Released Shares. No Shares
purchased pursuant to this Stock Agreement, nor any beneficial

purchase price shall be made, at the option of the Company
and/or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion

that, in each such case, the transferee agrees in writing to receive and
hold the Shares so transferred subject to all of the provisions of this Stock
Agreement, including but not limited to this section, and there shall be no
further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this
section; and provided

Escrow.
A. As
security for the faithful performance of this Stock Agreement, Purchaser
agrees,
immediately upon receipt of the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to deliver
such certificate(s), together with a stock power in the form of Exhibit B
attached to this Stock Agreement, executed by Purchaser and by Purchaser's
spouse, if any (with the date and number of Shares left blank), to the Secretary
of the Company or to another designee of the Company (the "Escrow Agent"). These
documents shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Joint Escrow
Instructions of the Company and Purchaser set forth in Exhibit C attached to
this Stock Agreement, which instructions are incorporated into this Stock
Agreement by this reference, and which instructions shall also be delivered to
the Escrow Agent after the Closing.
8
B.
Subject to the terms hereof, the Purchaser shall have all the rights of a
stockholder
with respect to such Shares while they are held in escrow, including without
limitation, the right to vote the Shares. If, from time to time during the term
of the Company's Repurchase Option, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split
or other change in the Shares, (ii) any dividend of cash or other property on
the Shares, or (iii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the
assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or
additional securities or cash or other consideration to which the Purchaser is

which have been released from the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 4
hereof shall be released from escrow and delivered to Purchaser within ten (10)
business days of Purchaser's written request therefor.
9. Tax Consequences. The
Purchaser has reviewed with the Purchaser's own tax advisors the
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Stock Agreement. The Purchaser is relying
solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the
Company or any of its agents. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser (and
not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a
result of the transactions contemplated by this Stock Agreement. The Purchaser
understands that Section 83 of the Code, taxes as ordinary income the difference
between the purchase price for the Shares and the fair market value of the
Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context,
"restriction" includes the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant
to the Repurchase Option. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser may elect
to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased rather than when and as the
Repurchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code
with the IRS within 30 days from the date of purchase. THE FORM FOR MAKING THIS SECTION
83(B) ELECTION IS ATTACHED TO THIS STOCK AGREEMENT AS EXHIBIT D AND
THE PURCHASER (AND NOT
THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS) SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROPRIATELY FILING SUCH FORM, EVEN
IF THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENTS TO MAKE THIS
FILING ON PURCHASER'S BEHALF.
10. General
Provisions.

Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive
laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of California.
B. Integration. This Stock
Agreement, including all exhibits hereto, represents the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the
Purchaser and supersedes and replaces any and all prior written or oral
agreements regarding the subject matter of this Stock Agreement including, but
not limited to, any representations made during any interviews, relocation
discussions or negotiations whether written or oral.
C. Notices. Any notice, demand,
offer, request or other communication required or permitted

substantially all of the Company's business and/or assets shall assume the
obligations under this Stock Agreement and agree expressly to perform the
obligations under this Stock Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a
succession. For all purposes under this Stock Agreement, the term "Company" shall include any
successor to the Company's business and/or assets which executes and delivers
the assumption agreement described in this section or which becomes bound by the

arise under this Stock Agreement shall be void. Except as set forth in this
stock Agreement, any transfers in violation of any restriction upon transfer
contained in any section of this Stock Agreement shall be void, unless such
restriction is waived in accordance with the terms of this Stock
Agreement.
F. Waiver.
Either party's failure to enforce any provision of this Stock Agreement
shall not
in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent that
party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Stock Agreement. The
rights granted both parties hereunder are cumulative and shall not constitute a
waiver of either party's right to assert any other legal remedy available to
it.
G. Further Documents.

any further documents or instruments necessary or reasonably desirable in the
view of the requesting party to carry out the purposes or intent of this Stock

INVESTMENT
REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER:
Xxxxxxx Londoner
COMPANY:
NewCardio, Inc.
SECURITY:
Common Stock
AMOUNT:
$84,000 00/100
DATE:
June 4, 2007
In
connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares, I, the undersigned
purchaser, represent to the Company as follows:
1. The Company may
rely on these representations. I understand that the
Company's sale of the
shares to me has not been registered under the Securities. Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), because the Company believes, relying in part on
my representations in this document that an exemption from such registration
requirement is available for such sale. I understand that the availability of
this exemption depends upon the representations I am making to the Company in
this document being true and correct.
2. 1
am purchasing for investment. I am purchasing the shares solely for
investment purposes,
and not for further distribution. My entire legal and beneficial ownership
interest in the shares is being purchased and shall be held solely for my
account, except to the extent I intend to hold the shares jointly with my
spouse. I am not a party to, and do not presently intend to enter into, any
contract or other arrangement with any other person or entity involving the
resale, transfer, grant of participation with respect to or other distribution
of any of the shares. My investment intent is not limited to my present
intention to hold the shares for the minimum capital gains period specified
under any applicable tax law, for a deferred sale, for a specified increase or
decrease in the market price of the shares, or for any other fixed period in the
future.
3. 1
can protect my own interests. I can properly evaluate the merits and
risks of an investment
in the shares and can protect my own interests in this regard, whether by reason
of my own business and financial expertise, the business and financial expertise
of certain professional advisors unaffiliated with the Company with whom I have
consulted, or my preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company
or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons.
4. I
am informed about the Company. I am sufficiently aware of the Company's
business affairs
and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to
acquire the shares. I have had opportunity to discuss the plans, operations and
financial condition of the Company with its officers, directors or controlling
persons, and have received all information I deem appropriate for assessing the
risk of an investment in the shares.
5. I
recognize my economic risk. I realize that the purchase of the shares
involves a high degree of
risk, and that the Company's future prospects are uncertain. I am able to hold
the shares indefinitely
if required, and am able to bear the loss of
my entire investment in the shares.
15
6. 1 know that the
shares are restricted securities. I understand that the
shares are "restricted securities"
in that the Company's sale of the shares to me has not been registered under the
Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption for non-public offerings. In this
regard, 1 also understand and agree that:
(a) I
must hold the shares indefinitely, unless any subsequent proposed resale
by me is
registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from registration is
otherwise available (such as Rule 144);
(b) the
Company is under no obligation to register any subsequent proposed resale of
the shares by me; and
(c) the
certificate evidencing the shares will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits
the transfer of the shares unless such transfer is registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the
Company.
7.
I am
familiar with Rule 144. I am
familiar with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act,
which in some circumstances permits limited public resales of "restricted
securities" like the shares acquired from an issuer in a non-public offering. I
understand that my ability to sell the shares under Rule 144 in the future is
uncertain;
and will depend upon, among other things: (i) the availability of certain
current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale occurring more
than one year after my purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule
144) for the shares; and (iii) if I am an affiliate of the Company, or a
non-affiliate who has held the shares less than two years after my purchase and
full payment: (A) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
"broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker, as said
term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (B) the
amount of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the
specified limitations stated in Rule 144, and (C) timely tiling of a notice of
proposed sale on Form 144, if applicable.
8. I know that Rule
144 may never be available. I understand that the
requirements of Rule 144
may never be met, and that the shares may never be saleable. I further
understand that at the time I wish to sell the shares, there may be no public
market for the Company's stock upon which to make such a sale, or the current
public information requirements of Rule 144 may not be satisfied, either of
which would preclude me from selling the shares under Rule 144 even if the
one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
9. I know that I am
subject to further restrictions on resale. I understand that in the
event Rule 144
is not available to me, any future proposed sale of any of the shares by me will
not be possible without prior registration under the Securities Act, compliance
with some other registration exemption (which may or may not be available), or
each
of the following: (i) my written
notice to the Company containing detailed information regarding the
proposed sale, (ii) my providing an opinion of my counsel to the effect that
such sale will not require registration, and (iii) the Company notifying me in
writing that its counsel concurs in such opinion. I understand that neither the
Company nor its counsel is obligated to provide me with any such opinion. I
understand that although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has
stated that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in
a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of
proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such
offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who
participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
16
10. I know that 1 may
have tax liability due to the uncertain value of the shares. I understand
that the
Board of Directors believes its valuation of the shares represents a fair
appraisal of their worth, but that it remains possible that, with the benefit of
hindsight, the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert that the value
of the shares on the date of my purchase is substantially greater than the
Board's appraisal. I understand that any additional value ascribed to the shares
by such an IRS determination will constitute ordinary income to me as of the
purchase date, and that any additional taxes and interest due as a result will
be my sole responsibility payable only by me, and that the Company need not and
will not reimburse me for that tax liability. 1
understand that if such additional value represents more than 25% of my
gross income for the year in which the value of the shares is taxable, the IRS
will have 6 years from the due date for filing the return (or the actual filing
date of the return if filed thereafter) within which to assess me the additional
tax and interest due.
11. Residence. The address of my
principal residence is set forth on the signature page below.
By
signing below, I acknowledge my agreement with each of the statements contained
in this Investment Representation Statement as of the date first set forth
above, a intent for the Company to rely on such
statements in issuing the shares to me.
