  Agreement (“Agreement”) between Suiter Limited (“Suiter”) and Introgen
Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) Dated April 20, 2005
Dear Mr. Donati:
     This will confirm the agreement of Suiter and the Company that Paragraph 2 of the above-referenced Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
  2.   This Agreement and any portion of the Warrant that has not vested in the manner provided above will expire 180 days from the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Term”). Unless a party gives written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, the Initial Term will be automatically extended for successive, consecutive thirty day terms (each a “Renewal Term”) until a party gives written notice of termination. This Agreement will terminate at the end of the term in which written notice of termination is given (whether it is the Initial Term or a Renewal Term). Additionally, the Company may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Suiter at any time after the Company publicly announces either (i) a favorable action or decision by the United States Food and Drug Administration with respect to one or more of the Company’s product candidates, or (ii) a partnering or collaboration agreement involving one or more of the Company’s product candidates that is not arranged by Suiter pursuant to a written mandate with the Company and that the Company in good faith believes had or will have a positive material impact upon the price per share of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System (a “Material Announcement”); provided that in the event of such cancellation
