INTROGEN THERAPEUTICS, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.63
INTROGEN THERAPEUTICS, INC.
This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made on June ___, 2007 by and
among Introgen Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Gendux Pharmaceuticals,
Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, a subsidiary of the
Company (the “Issuer”), and ___ (the “Purchaser”).
WHEREAS, the Company holds 150,000 Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of the
Issuer (the “Shares”);
WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell and the Purchaser desires to buy ___ Shares,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the
Memorandum of Articles of Association of Issuer (the “Articles”);
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has obtained, reviewed and evaluated (i) a
valuation analysis issued by CRA International, a third party firm retained by the Company to
review the value of Issuer; and (ii) certain other financial documents and information;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth below,
the Company, Issuer and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Company agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company at the
Closing (as defined below) the Shares at a price of $0.01 per share (the “Purchase Price”), for an
aggregate purchase price of $___. The Purchase Price may be paid in cash by wire transfer
or check, cancellation of indebtedness, provision of services 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).
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 purchase in exchange
for services (and the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the value of the services
rendered and the promise to render services over the vesting period set forth in Section 4 is
sufficient consideration for the purchase of the Shares and is at least equal to the Purchase
Price).
3. Repurchase Option.
A. In the event the Purchaser ceases to be an employee, consultant, advisor, officer or
director of the Issuer or 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
involuntary termination, the Company shall, from such time (as determined by the Company in its
discretion), have the right, but not the obligation (the “Termination Repurchase Option”), for a
period of 90 days from the date Purchaser ceases to be a Service Provider as such date is
determined by the Company, to repurchase any Shares which have not yet been released from the
Termination Repurchase Option (the “Unreleased Shares”) at a price per share equal to the lesser of
(x) the fair market value of the shares at the time the Termination Repurchase Option is exercised,
as determined by the Company’s board of directors and (y) the Purchase Price (the “Repurchase
Price”). The Termination Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by delivering
written notice to the Purchaser or, in the event of the Purchaser’s death, the Purchaser’s executor
and, at the Company’s option, (i) by delivering to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s executor a
check in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (ii) by canceling an amount of the
Purchaser’s indebtedness to the Company equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (iii) by a
combination of (i) and (ii) such that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals
the aggregate Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the aggregate
Repurchase Price, the Company shall (upon entry in the register of the members or the Issuer)
become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares being repurchased and all rights and
interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer
to its own name the number of Unreleased Shares being repurchased by the Company. Issuer agrees to
transfer into the name of the Company, any Unreleased Shares being repurchased pursuant to this
section.
B. The Company in its sole discretion may assign all or part of the Termination 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.
A. So long as the Purchaser’s continuous status as a Service Provider has not yet terminated,
each month following the date of this Agreement, 1/12th of the total number of Shares shall be
released from the Termination Repurchase Option on the corresponding day of each such month after
the date of this Agreement (or if there is no corresponding day in any such month, on the last day
of such month), until all Shares have been released as of the first anniversary of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the
Company or the Issuer, 100% of the total number of Shares that have not been released from the
Termination Repurchase Option, shall be released from the Termination Repurchase Option immediately
prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, provided that the Purchaser’s continuous
status as a Service Provider has not been terminated prior to such time.
B. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” means either:
(1) the acquisition of the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, by another entity by means of
any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any
reorganization, merger or consolidation or stock transfer, but excluding any such transaction
effected primarily for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or the Issuer, as
applicable), unless the Company’s or the Issuer’s, as applicable, stockholders, shareholders of
record immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions hold, immediately
after such transaction or series of related transactions, at least 50% of the voting power of the
surviving or acquiring entity (provided that the sale by the Company or the Issuer, as applicable,
of its securities for the purposes of raising additional funds shall not constitute a Change of
Control hereunder); or
(2) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Issuer, as
applicable.
5. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in
this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Purchaser (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Purchaser’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either
A. delivered in full, or
-2-
B. delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being
subject to the Excise Tax,
whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local
income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Purchaser on an after-tax basis, of the
greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be
taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.
Unless the Company and the Purchaser otherwise agree in writing, any determination required
under this section shall be made in writing by an independent accounting or consulting firm
selected by the Company (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Purchaser, the Issuer and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the
calculations required by this section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and
approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations
concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company, the Issuer and the
Purchaser shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may
reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all
costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this
section.
6. Restrictions on Transfer.
A. The Purchaser shall not sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, encumber or otherwise
dispose of the Shares, or any beneficial interest therein (“Transfer”), other than by will or by
the laws of descent or distribution or a transaction described in Section 6.G, until (i) such
Transfer is approved in writing by the Issuer’s Board of Directors, or the compensation committee
thereof, prior to such Transfer, (ii) immediately prior to a Change of Control subject to Section
9 and only in connection with such Change of Control, or (iii) the second anniversary of the date
that Purchaser ceases to be a Service Provider.
B. The Purchaser hereby makes the investment representations listed on Exhibit A to the
Company and the Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of the Closing, and
agrees that such representations are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, such that
the Company and the Issuer may rely on them in issuing the Shares. Purchaser understands and
agrees that the Issuer shall cause the legends set forth below, or substantially equivalent
legends, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares, if any, together
with any other legends that may be required by the Company, the Issuer or by applicable state or
federal securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO
THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, A LOCK-UP PERIOD IN
THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING, A VOTING AGREEMENT AND REPURCHASE OPTIONS
HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE
-3-
ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE
PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, RIGHT OF
FIRST REFUSAL, VOTING AGREEMENT, LOCK-UP PERIOD AND REPURCHASE OPTIONS
ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
C. Stop-Transfer Notices. Purchaser agrees that to ensure compliance with the restrictions
referred to herein, the Issuer may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer
agent, if any, and that, if the Issuer transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate
notations to the same effect in its own records.
D. Refusal to Transfer. The Purchaser acknowledges that the directors of the Issuer shall not
(i) transfer on the books of the Issuer any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or applicable laws, or (ii) treat as owner of
such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to
whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
E. Lock-Up Period. Purchaser hereby agrees that Purchaser shall not sell, offer, pledge,
contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to
sell, grant any right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or encumber, directly or
indirectly, any Shares or other securities of the Issuer, nor shall Purchaser enter into any swap,
hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of any Shares or other securities of the Company, during the period from
the filing of the first registration statement of the Issuer filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC on prospectuses
or an admission document for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies published by London Stock
Exchange PLC, by and in relation to the Issuer, that includes securities to be sold by or on behalf
of the Issuer in an underwritten public offering or institutional placing (an “Initial Public
Offering”) through the end of the 180-day period following the effective date of such registration
statement or the publication date of any such prospectus or admission document (or such other
period as may be requested by the Issuer or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions
on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations
and opinions). Purchaser further agrees, if so requested by the Issuer or any representative of
its, sponsors, nominated advisers, brokers or underwriters, as applicable, to enter into such
person’s standard form of “lockup” or “market standoff” agreement in a form satisfactory to the
Issuer and such person. The Issuer may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to
securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of any such restriction period.
F. Unreleased Shares. No Unreleased Shares subject to the Termination Repurchase Option
contained in Section 3 of this Agreement, nor any beneficial interest in such Shares, shall be
sold, gifted, transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of
law or otherwise) by the Purchaser, other than as expressly permitted or required by Section 3.
G. Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this section, the Purchaser may transfer any or all of the Shares during the
Purchaser’s lifetime or on the Purchaser’s death by will or intestacy to (i) the Purchaser’s
spouse; (ii) the Purchaser’s lineal descendants or antecedents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins,
nieces and nephews (including adoptive relationships and step relationships), and their spouses;
(iii) the lineal descendants or antecedents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews
of Purchaser’s spouse (including adoptive relationships and step relationships), and their spouses;
(iv) a trust or other similar estate planning vehicle for the benefit of the Purchaser or any such
person; or (v) any charitable or non-profit entity for charitable purposes; provided that,
-4-
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 Agreement, including but not limited to this
section, there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of
this section, such transferee grants to any member of the Board of Directors of the
Issuer an irrevocable proxy referenced in Section 10, and shall execute a Charge
Over Shares referenced in Section 7; and provided further, that without the prior written consent
of the Company, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Company, no more than three
transfers may be made pursuant to this section, including all transfers by the Purchaser and all
transfers by any transferee.
7. Share Charge. As security for the faithful performance of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees
to execute and deliver to the Company the Charge Over Shares in the form of Exhibit B attached to
this Agreement as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement. Purchaser
understands that no Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement until the Company shall have
received such executed Charge Over Shares.
8. 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 Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any
statements or representations of the Company, the Issuer or any of their respective agents. The
Purchaser understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company nor the Issuer) shall be responsible
for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
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, without
limitation the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Termination 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 AGREEMENT AS EXHIBIT D AND THE PURCHASER
(AND NOT THE COMPANY, THE ISSUER NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE 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.
9. Drag-Along Obligations.
A. In the event the Issuer’s Board of Directors approves a Change of Control of the Issuer,
the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall give notice (the “Corporate Transaction Notice”) to
Purchaser (together with their transferees, successors and assigns) stating that the Board of
Directors of the Issuer has approved such Change of Control. The Corporate Transaction Notice also
shall set forth the name and address of the person or entity proposing to buy the Issuer, its
assets or its capital stock (the “Acquisition Offeror”) and shall summarize the basic terms of the
proposed Change of Control. Any Corporate Transaction Notice may be rescinded by the Board of
Directors of the Issuer by delivering written notice thereof to the Purchaser.
B. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Corporate Transaction Notice, the Purchaser
shall take all lawful action reasonably necessary and requested by the Issuer to complete the
Change of Control, including without limitation (A) the voting of all Shares of the Issuer held by

appraisal rights or other rights granted to minority shareholders) under applicable law in
connection with the Change of Control of the Issuer, (B) if so requested, the surrender to the
Acquisition Offeror of certificates, if any,
-5-

payment of the sale price for such Shares or such convertible securities in the Change of Control
of the Issuer, and (C) the execution of all sale, liquidation and other agreements in the form
reasonably requested (containing, among other things, reasonable and customary representations and
warranties relating to the valid title to such Shares free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances and restrictions of any kind (other than those arising hereunder) and such Purchaser’s
power, authority, and right to enter into and consummate such purchase or merger agreement without
violating any other agreement, which representations and warranties shall be substantially similar
in all material respects to the representations and warranties made by other shareholders) of the

agrees, after having received a Corporate Transaction Notice, not to exercise any dissenter’s or
appraisal rights or other rights granted to minority shareholders) under applicable law in

of the following conditions:
(1) Upon the consummation of the Change of Control of the Issuer, the Purchaser shall be
entitled to receive the same proportion, if any, of the aggregate consideration from such Change of
Control that the Purchaser would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed
by the Issuer to the shareholders of the Issuer in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and
preferences set forth in the Articles as in effect immediately prior to such Change of Control
(giving effect to applicable orders of priority and the exercise price of all warrants and
options);
(2) If any shareholder of the Issuer is given an option as to the form of consideration to be
received by such shareholder of the Issuer, all holders of such class or classes will be given the
same option;
(3) Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the

on behalf of Purchaser for his sole benefit will not be considered costs of the transaction
hereunder); provided, that Purchaser’s liability for such expenses shall be capped at the aggregate
consideration received by such Purchaser for his Shares of the Issuer; provided, further that
Purchaser shall not be responsible for any such expenses unless all shareholders are similarly
responsible for their pro rata portion of such expenses; and
(4) The Purchaser shall be required to provide representations or indemnities in connection
with the Change of Control of the Issuer only concerning Purchaser’s valid ownership of his Shares
of the Issuer, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those arising under
applicable securities laws, and each such Purchaser’s power, authority, and right to enter into and
consummate such purchase or merger agreement without violating any other agreement and then in each
case, Purchaser shall not be liable for more than his pro rata share (based upon the amount of

DATE

: | June ___, 2007 |
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares, I, the undersigned purchaser,
represent to the Company and the Issuer as follows:
1. The Company and Issuer 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 and the Issuer in this document being true and correct.
2. I 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. I 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 or the Issuer with whom I have consulted, or my preexisting
business or personal relationship with the Company or Issuer or any of their officers, directors or
controlling persons.
4. I am informed about the Company and the Issuer. I am sufficiently aware of the Issuer’s
and 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 and the Issuer with their respective 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 Issuer’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.
6. I know that the shares are restricted securities. I understand that the shares are
“restricted securities” in that the Company’s sale of the Issuer’s shares to me has not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption for non-public offerings. In
this regard, I 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. Neither the Issuer nor the Company is under any obligation to register any subsequent
proposed resale of the shares by me; and
C. the certificate, if any, 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 Issuer.
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 Issuer; (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 Issuer, 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 filing 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 Issuer’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 Issuer 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 Issuer notifying me that such opinion is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. I
understand that neither the Issuer 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.
-2-
10. I know that I 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. I 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. I am not a member of the public of the Cayman Islands.
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, and my intent for the
Company and the Issuer to rely on such statements in issuing the shares to me.
