Our Business
We have developed the first and only commercially available intelligent robotic radiosurgery system, the CyberKnife system, designed to treat solid tumors anywhere in the body as an alternative to traditional surgery. For over 30 years, traditional radiosurgery systems, or systems that deliver precise, high dose radiation directly to a tumor, have been used primarily to destroy brain tumors. Our CyberKnife system represents the next generation of radiosurgery systems, combining continuous image-guidance technology with a compact linear accelerator that has the flexibility to move in three dimensions according to the treatment plan. This combination, which we refer to as intelligent robotics, extends the benefits of radiosurgery to the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife system autonomously tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time during the procedure, enabling delivery of precise, high dose radiation typically with sub-millimeter accuracy. Traditional radiosurgery systems have limited mobility and generally require the use of rigid frames, restricting the ability to effectively treat tumors outside of the brain. The CyberKnife system does not have these limitations and therefore has increased flexibility to treat tumors throughout the body from many different directions, while minimizing the delivery of radiation to healthy tissue and vital organs. The CyberKnife procedure requires no anesthesia, can be performed on an outpatient basis and allows for the treatment of patients that otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or who may not have been good candidates for surgery. In addition, the CyberKnife procedure avoids many of the potential risks and complications that are associated with other treatment options and is more cost effective than traditional surgery.
The CyberKnife system has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, 510(k) clearance to provide treatment planning and image-guided robotic radiosurgery for tumors anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. The CyberKnife system has also received a CE mark for sale in Europe and has been approved for various indications in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and other countries. We estimate that over 20,000 patients worldwide have been treated with the CyberKnife system since its commercial introduction. Our customers have increasingly used the CyberKnife system for indications outside of the brain, including for tumors on or near the spine and in the lung, liver, prostate and pancreas. Based on customer data, more than 50% of patients treated with the CyberKnife system in the United States during the three months ended September 30, 2006 were treated for tumors outside of the brain.
We market the CyberKnife system through a direct sales force in the United States and a combination of direct sales personnel and distributors in the rest of the world. As of September 30, 2006, we had 83 CyberKnife systems installed at customer sites and 78 pending installation. Of the 83 systems installed, 52 are in the United States. For the year ended June 30, 2006, our net revenue was $52.9 million, our net loss was $33.7 million and our net cash provided by operating activities was $25.5 million.
Cancer Market and Traditional Treatment
According to the World Health Organization, or WHO, an estimated 7.6 million people died of cancer in 2005, accounting for 13% of all deaths worldwide. The WHO estimates that there are 24.6 million people living with cancer worldwide, with approximately 10.9 million new cases being
1
diagnosed every year. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease. The American Cancer Society, or ACS, estimates that approximately 1.4 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2006 and approximately 564,000 Americans will die as a result of cancer in the same period. The ACS broadly divides cancers into two groups: solid tumor cancers, which are characterized by the growth of malignant tumors within the body in areas such as the brain, lung, liver, breast or prostate, and hematological, or blood-borne, cancers, such as leukemia. The ACS estimates that solid tumor cancers will account for approximately 1.3 million, or 92%, of new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States in 2006.
Traditional methods for the treatment of solid tumor cancers include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Surgery is especially appropriate for certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer, where tumors are often well-defined and surgically accessible. However, many types of solid tumors, including those affecting the brain, spine, lungs and various other organs, present significant challenges to traditional surgical approaches because they occur in hard-to-reach areas or lie within or in close proximity to critical organs. In addition, traditional surgery is highly invasive, painful and involves significant risks, including those associated with anesthesia, infection and other complications. Traditional surgery also entails significant costs and recovery times, and in some cases may not be an option due to a patient's physical condition or age.
Radiation therapy, as opposed to radiosurgery, is typically used to treat the area around a tumor site after surgery, though it can also be used to directly target the tumor in certain instances when surgery is not possible. The goal of radiation therapy is to eliminate all cancer cells in an intended treatment region. However, healthy tissue outside of the intended treatment region also receives radiation. Recent advances in radiation therapy have focused on improving the shape and targeting ability of the radiation beams to minimize unnecessary irradiation of healthy tissue. However, the majority of such radiation treatments are still delivered using gantry-based linear accelerator systems that have a limited range of motion, a limited ability to accurately target and conform to tumor shape and are unable to compensate for tumor and patient movement during treatment. Therefore, the treatment plans using these methods generally include not only the tumor, but also the surrounding healthy tissue to ensure that the entire tumor is treated.
Development of Radiosurgery
Radiosurgery systems differ from traditional radiation therapy systems in that they are designed to deliver a very high cumulative dose of radiation, in a single or small number of treatments, specifically targeted at the tumor rather than at a broader region surrounding the tumor area. One of the initial radiosurgery techniques was frame-based radiosurgery for the treatment of brain tumors. Although frame-based radiosurgery represents an advancement in cancer treatment, it has significant shortcomings. The necessity for a stereotactic frame to be screwed into a patient's skull makes the procedure more complicated and painful than traditional radiation therapy. In addition, because it is difficult to precisely reposition the head frame for multiple treatments, these systems are very rarely used when more than one dose of radiation is required.
Manufacturers have also developed frame-based radiosurgery systems to enable the treatment of tumors outside the brain, such as tumors on or near the spine and in the lung, liver, prostate and pancreas. However, frame-based approaches to delivering radiosurgery for tumors in such locations are rarely as accurate as frame-based systems used to treat brain tumors. This lack of accuracy may compromise the efficacy of traditional radiosurgery for tumors outside the brain and may increase the likelihood of delivering significant radiation doses to surrounding healthy tissue.
2
The CyberKnife System Solution
We have developed and commercialized the CyberKnife system, an intelligent robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat solid tumors throughout the body as an alternative to traditional surgery. The CyberKnife system uses intelligent robotics to precisely deliver high dose radiation to a tumor, typically with sub-millimeter accuracy. Our system tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time during treatment, limiting the potential damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Key benefits of the CyberKnife system include:
Treatment of inoperable or surgically complex tumors. The CyberKnife system can be used to treat tumors that cannot be treated with traditional surgical techniques because of their location, number, size, shape or proximity to vital tissues or organs, or because of the age or health of the patient.
Treatment of tumors throughout the body. The CyberKnife system has been cleared by the FDA to provide treatment planning and image-guided radiosurgery for tumors anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.
Real-time tracking of tumor movement. The CyberKnife system is able to treat tumors that may change position due to tumor and patient movement during treatment with a level of accuracy associated with radiosurgery procedures for brain tumors.
Significant patient benefits. Patients may be treated with the CyberKnife system on an outpatient basis, without anesthesia, and without the risks and complications inherent in traditional surgery. In addition, patients do not require a stereotactic frame or other substantial pre-treatment preparation, and typically there is no recovery time or hospital stay associated with the CyberKnife procedure.
Facilitates additional revenue generation through increased patient volumes. We believe that the CyberKnife system allows our customers to effectively treat patients that otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or who may not have been good candidates for surgery. Therefore, we believe the treatment of these patients provides additional revenue for our customers. In addition, because the CyberKnife procedure is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure requiring little or no recovery time, hospitals can treat more patients than through traditional surgery.
Upgradeable modular design. Our CyberKnife system has a modular design which facilitates the implementation of upgrades without requiring our customers to purchase an entirely new system. We have a well-established track record of developing and delivering state-of-the-art upgrades to our customers, enabling our customers to take advantage of the continued evolution of our CyberKnife system. We continue to develop and offer new clinical capabilities enhancing ease of use, reducing treatment times, improving accuracy and improving patient access.
Key components and technologies of our CyberKnife system include:
Compact X-band linear accelerator. Our proprietary compact X-band linear accelerator, the component that generates the radiation that destroys the tumor, is smaller and weighs significantly less than standard medical linear accelerators typically used in radiation therapy.
Robotic manipulator. The manipulator arm, with six-degrees-of-freedom range of movement, is designed to move and direct the linear accelerator with an extremely high level of precision and repeatability and allows doses of radiation to be delivered from nearly any direction.
Real-time image-guidance system with continuous target tracking and feedback. Real-time image-guided robotics enables the CyberKnife system to continuously detect and correct for tumor and patient movement throughout the entire treatment without the need for clinician intervention.
3
Synchrony respiratory tracking system. The CyberKnife system employs a proprietary motion tracking system called Synchrony to target tumors that move with patient respiration, allowing clinicians to significantly reduce treatment margins while eliminating the need for gating or breath-holding techniques.
Xsight Spine Tracking System. The Xsight Spine Tracking System eliminates the need for invasive surgical implantation of small, inert metal markers, known as fiducials, when treating tumors on or near the spine, by using skeletal structures to automatically locate and track tumors during treatment.
RoboCouch patient positioning system. The RoboCouch robotically aligns patients prior to treatments, reducing patient set up times and enabling faster treatments.
Xsight Lung Tracking System. The Xsight Lung Tracking System directly tracks the anatomy of some lung tumors without the need for implanted fiducials and is integrated with the Synchrony respiratory tracking system.
Xchange robotic collimator changer. The Xchange robotic collimator changer automatically exchanges secondary collimators, which determine the radiation beam size, during treatment. The use of multiple collimators can enable faster treatments than the use of a single collimator.
In-Room CT System. The In-Room CT System enables diagnostic quality 3D and 4D patient imaging just prior to treatment. Combined with the RoboCouch Patient Positioning System, the In-Room CT System provides a smooth and efficient scan-to-treatment transition without having to enter the treatment room or move the patient.
4D Treatment Optimization and Planning System. Our 4D Treatment Optimization and Planning System optimizes treatment by taking into account the movement of the tumor as well as the movement and deformation of the surrounding tissue, thereby minimizing treatment margins and radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
Other features. The CyberKnife system also includes proprietary treatment planning software and remote review capabilities.
Shared Ownership Programs, Product Services and Upgrades
We provide a variety of services to support the successful operation and use of our CyberKnife systems. We expect that these services will enable us to generate a recurring revenue stream that will continue to comprise an important portion of our revenue. We offer shared ownership programs under which we provide a CyberKnife system to a customer while retaining ownership of that system. Under this program we generally receive the greater of a minimum monthly payment or a portion of the revenue generated from the use of that system. As of September 30, 2006, we had entered into 22 shared ownership programs, of which 10 are installed and 12 are pending installation.
We also offer several multiyear service plans for an annual fee. Currently, our most comprehensive service plan is the Diamond Elite multiyear service plan, which provides for annual renewal for four years, including the one-year warranty period. The multiyear service plan is typically signed by the customer at the same time as the CyberKnife system purchase contract. In addition to providing technical support, this service plan provides our customers the opportunity to acquire up to two unspecified future upgrades per year, when and if they become available. As of September 30, 2006, 59 of our customers had purchased service plans.
Our Strategy
Our goal is to have the CyberKnife system become the standard of care for the treatment of solid tumors anywhere in the body as an alternative to traditional surgery. We believe our technology can
4
significantly enhance the applications of radiosurgery by increasing the number and type of tumors that can be treated effectively. The key elements of our strategy include:

An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before you decide to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that affect us.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a large accumulated deficit, expect future losses and may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability.
We have incurred net losses in every fiscal period since our inception. As of June 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $120.6 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses in the future, particularly as we increase our manufacturing, sales and marketing, and administrative activities and as we continue our research and development activities. Our ability to achieve and maintain long-term profitability is largely dependent on our ability to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife system and to control our costs and effectively manage our growth. We are required to defer revenue associated with our legacy multiyear service plans due to specified obligations related to the delivery of upgrades to the CyberKnife system. Therefore, our deferred revenue will be higher in the short term and we may not be able to recognize some portions of our deferred revenue until we have satisfied all obligations for delivery of upgrades. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. In the event we fail to achieve and maintain profitability, our stock price could decline.
If the CyberKnife system does not achieve widespread market acceptance, we will not be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our business.
Achieving physician, patient, hospital administrator and third-party payor acceptance of the CyberKnife system as a preferred method of tumor treatment will be crucial to our continued success. Physicians will not begin to use or increase the use of the CyberKnife system unless they determine, based on experience, clinical data and other factors, that the CyberKnife system is a safe and effective alternative to current treatment methods. The CyberKnife system was initially used primarily for the treatment of tumors in the brain, and the broader use of the system to treat tumors elsewhere in the body has been a more recent development. As a result, physician and patient acceptance of the CyberKnife system as a broad-based tool for treatment of solid tumor cancers anywhere in the body has not yet been fully demonstrated, particularly as compared to products, systems or technologies that have longer histories in the marketplace. The CyberKnife system is a major capital purchase and purchase decisions are greatly influenced by hospital administrators who are subject to increasing pressures to reduce costs. These and other factors may affect the rate and level of the CyberKnife system's market acceptance, including:
9
If the CyberKnife system is unable to achieve or maintain market acceptance, our business would be harmed and our stock price would decline.
The high unit price of the CyberKnife system, as well as other factors may contribute to substantial fluctuations in our operating results and stock price.
Because of the high unit price of the CyberKnife system, and the relatively small number of units installed each quarter, each installation of a CyberKnife system can represent a significant component of our revenue for a particular quarter. Therefore, if we do not install a CyberKnife system when anticipated, our operating results may vary significantly and our stock price may be materially harmed. These fluctuations and other potential fluctuations mean that you should not rely upon our operating results in any particular period as an indication of future performance. In particular, factors which may contribute to these fluctuations may include:
These factors are difficult to forecast and may contribute to substantial fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and substantial variation from our projections, particularly during the periods in which our sales volume is low. Any failure to meet investor expectations regarding our operating results may cause our stock price to decline.
10
We experience a long and variable sales and installation cycle, which may result in inconsistent quarterly results.
The CyberKnife system has a lengthy sales and purchase order cycle because it is a major capital equipment item and requires the approval of senior management at purchasing institutions. The sales process in the United States often begins with a letter of intent between us and the customer. After the letter of intent is signed, we enter into a definitive purchase contract with the customer. Generally following the execution of the contract, the customer begins the building or renovation of a facility to house the CyberKnife system, which together with the subsequent installation of the CyberKnife system, can take approximately 12 months or longer to complete. During this period, the customer must build a radiation-shielded facility to house their CyberKnife system. In order to construct this facility, the customer must typically obtain radiation device installation permits, which are granted by state and local government bodies, each of which may have different criteria for permit issuance. If a permit were denied for installation at a specific hospital or treatment center, our CyberKnife system could not be installed at that location.
Under our revenue recognition policy, we generally do not recognize revenue attributable to a CyberKnife system purchase until after installation has occurred. For international sales through distributors, we typically recognize revenue when the system is delivered to the end user's site. Therefore the long sales cycle together with the timing of CyberKnife system shipments and installations may result in significant fluctuations in our reporting of quarterly revenues. Under our current forms of purchase and service contracts, we receive a majority of the purchase price for the CyberKnife system upon installation of the system. Events beyond our control may delay installation and the satisfaction of contingencies required to receive cash inflows and recognize revenue, such as:
In the event that a customer does not, for any of the reasons above or other reasons, proceed with installation of the system after entering into a purchase contract, we would only recognize the deposit portion of the purchase price as revenue. Therefore, delays in the installation of CyberKnife systems or customer cancellations would adversely affect our cash flows and revenue, which would harm our results of operations and could cause our stock price to decline.
If third-party payors do not continue to provide sufficient coverage and reimbursement to healthcare providers for use of the CyberKnife system, our revenue would be adversely affected.
Our ability to commercialize our products successfully will depend in significant part on the extent to which appropriate coverage and reimbursement for our products and related procedures are obtained from third-party payors, including governmental payors such as Medicare. Third-party payors, and in particular managed care organizations, are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services and instituting cost containment measures to control or significantly influence the purchase of medical products and services. These cost containment measures, if instituted in a manner affecting the coverage for or payment of our products, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of new medical products and services and new indications for existing products. The CyberKnife procedure is currently covered and
11
reimbursed by Medicare and other governmental and non-governmental third-party payors. However, we cannot assure you that the CyberKnife procedure will continue to be reimbursed at current rates or that third-party payors will continue to consider our products cost-effective relative to other treatments and provide coverage and reimbursement for our products, in whole or in part. For 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, has issued a final rule that will result in a downward adjustment to the reimbursement rates for treatments using our technology in the hospital outpatient department. For example, for the calendar years 2004 to 2006, the Medicare billing codes for treatments using the CyberKnife system in the hospital outpatient department were assigned a national payment rate of $5,250 for the first treatment and $3,750 for each treatment thereafter, up to a maximum of five treatments. For the 2007 calendar year, under the finalized Medicare payment rules, the national payment rate for procedures billed using these codes will be $3,896 and $2,645, respectively.
In addition, new billing codes for stereotactic radiosurgery have been established by the American Medical Association, effective 2007. The CMS has determined that the new codes would not be used for hospital outpatient claims under the prospective payment system for 2007 and, instead, existing billing codes for our technology would continue to be in effect. It remains unclear how the billing codes will be used for procedures in other settings for Medicare purposes or how they will be used by non-Medicare payors. Payment amounts for 2007 under the Medicare physician fee schedule for freestanding settings may result in a decrease from current payment amounts if these codes are required for billing our technology. Physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers may be reluctant to purchase the CyberKnife system or may decline to do so entirely if they determine there is not sufficient coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for the cost of the CyberKnife procedure. In addition, if physicians or hospital administrators believe that our CyberKnife system will add costs to a procedure, but will not add sufficient offsetting economic or clinical benefits, adoption could be impaired. Any reduction or limitation in use of the CyberKnife system could have an adverse impact on our sales.
Our success in international markets also depends upon the eligibility of reimbursement for the CyberKnife procedure through government-sponsored healthcare payment systems and third-party payors. Reimbursement and healthcare payment systems in international markets vary significantly by country and, within some countries, by region. In many international markets, payment systems may control reimbursement for procedures performed using new products as well as procurement of these products. In addition, as economies of emerging markets develop, these countries may implement changes in their healthcare delivery and payment systems. Furthermore, healthcare cost containment efforts similar to those underway in the United States are prevalent in many of the other countries in which we intend to sell our products and these efforts are expected to continue. Market acceptance of our products in a particular country may depend on the availability and level of reimbursement in that country. In the event that our customers are unable to obtain adequate reimbursement for the CyberKnife procedures in international markets in which we are selling, or are seeking to sell, CyberKnife systems, market acceptance of our products would be adversely affected.
Future legislative or regulatory changes to the healthcare system may affect our business.
Even if third-party payors provide adequate coverage and reimbursement for the CyberKnife procedure, adverse changes in third-party payors' general policies toward reimbursement could preclude market acceptance for our products and materially harm our sales and revenue growth, which could cause our stock price to decline. In the United States, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes and proposals to change the healthcare system, and some could involve changes that significantly affect our business. For instance, on December 8, 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which, among other things, established a new prescription drug benefit and changed reimbursement methodologies for drugs and devices used in
12
hospital outpatient departments and in the home. In addition, certain federal regulatory changes occur at least annually. The CMS has determined that, beginning in 2007, treatments in hospital outpatient departments using our technology will no longer be assigned a new technology classification and, instead, will be transitioned to a classification that would result in a reduction in Medicare payments to hospitals. Further, new billing codes that go into effect in 2007 may be required by third-party payors and may result in a decrease in payments for services using our technology. A downward adjustment in reimbursement could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Future legislative or policy initiatives directed at reducing costs could be introduced at either the federal or state level. We cannot predict the impact on our business of any legislation or regulations related to the healthcare system that may be enacted or adopted in the future.
We are required to comply with federal and state "fraud and abuse" laws, and, if we are unable to comply with such laws, we could face substantial penalties and we could be excluded from government healthcare programs, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are directly, or indirectly through our customers, subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse. These laws which directly or indirectly affect our ability to operate our business primarily include, but are not limited to, the following:
The following arrangements with purchasers and their agents have been identified by the Office of the Inspection General of the Department of Health and Human Services as ones raising potential risk of violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute:
We have various arrangements with physicians, hospitals and other entities which implicate these laws. For example, physicians own our stock who also provide medical advisory and other consulting and personal services. Similarly, we have a variety of different types of arrangements with our customers. For example, our placement and shared ownership programs entail the provision of our CyberKnife system to our customers under a deferred payment program, where we generally receive
13
the greater of a fixed minimum payment or a portion of the revenues of services. Included in the fee we charge for the placement and shared ownership programs are a variety of services, including physician training, educational and marketing support, general reimbursement guidance and technical support, and, in the case of the placement program, certain services and upgrades are provided without additional charge based on procedure volume. In the past, we have also provided loans to our customers. We also provide research grants to customers to support customer studies related to, among other things, our CyberKnife systems. Certain of these arrangements do not meet Anti-Kickback Statute safe harbor protections, which may result in increased scrutiny by government authorities having responsibility for enforcing these laws.
If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or other similar governmental regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we may be subject to the applicable penalty associated with the violation, including significant civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The impact of any such violations may lead to curtailment or restructuring of our operations, which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risk of our being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that many of these laws are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management's attention from the operation of our business and damage our reputation. If enforcement action were to occur, our reputation and our business and financial condition may be harmed, even if we were to prevail or settle the action. Similarly, if the physicians or other providers or entities with whom we do business are found to be non-compliant with applicable laws, they may be subject to sanctions, which could also have a negative impact on our business. See "BusinessRegulatory Matters" for further information regarding federal and state fraud and abuse laws.
Modifications, upgrades and future products related to the CyberKnife system or new indications may require new U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, premarket approvals or 510(k) clearances, and such modifications, or any defects in design or manufacture may require us to recall or cease marketing the CyberKnife system until approvals or clearances are obtained.
The CyberKnife system is a medical device that is subject to extensive regulation in the United States by local, state and the federal government, including by the FDA. The FDA regulates virtually all aspects of a medical device's design, development, testing manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, reporting, sale, promotion, distribution and shipping. Before a new medical device, or a new use of or claim for an existing product, can be marketed in the United States, it must first receive either premarket approval or 510(k) clearance from the FDA, unless an exemption exists. Either process can be expensive and lengthy. The FDA's 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but it can last longer. The process of obtaining premarket approval is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and it generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA. Despite the time, effort and cost, there can be no assurance that a particular device will be approved or cleared by the FDA through either the premarket approval process or 510(k) clearance process.
Medical devices may be marketed only for the indications for which they are approved or cleared. The FDA also may change its policies, adopt additional regulations, or revise existing regulations, each of which could prevent or delay premarket approval or 510(k) clearance of our device, or could impact our ability to market our currently cleared device. We are also subject to medical device reporting regulations which require us to report to the FDA if our products cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury. We also are subject to Quality System and Medical Device Reporting regulations, which regulate the manufacturing and installation and also require us to report to the FDA if our products cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to
14
a death or serious injury. Our products are also subject to state regulations and various worldwide laws and regulations.
A component of our strategy is to continue to upgrade the CyberKnife system. Upgrades previously released by us required 510(k) clearance before we were able to offer them for sale. We expect our future upgrades will similarly require 510(k) clearance; however, future upgrades may be subject to the substantially more time consuming and uncertain premarket approval process.
The FDA requires device manufacturers to make a determination of whether or not a modification requires an approval or clearance; however, the FDA can review a manufacturer's decision not to submit for additional approvals or clearances. Any modification to an FDA approved or cleared device that would significantly affect its safety or efficacy or that would constitute a major change in its intended use would require a new premarket approval or 510(k) clearance. We cannot assure you that the FDA will agree with our decisions not to seek approvals or clearances for particular device modifications or that we will be successful in obtaining 510(k) clearances for modifications.
We have obtained 510(k) clearances for the CyberKnife system for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body where radiation is indicated. We have made modifications to the CyberKnife system in the past and may make additional modifications in the future that we believe do not or will not require additional approvals or clearances. If the FDA disagrees and requires us to obtain additional premarket approvals or 510(k) clearances for any modifications to the CyberKnife system and we fail to obtain such approvals or clearances or fail to secure approvals or clearances in a timely manner, we may be required to cease manufacturing and marketing the modified device or to recall such modified device until we obtain FDA approval or clearance and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
In addition, even if the CyberKnife system is not modified, the FDA and similar governmental authorities in other countries in which we market and sell our products have the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. A government mandated recall, or a voluntary recall by us, could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors or design defects, including defects in labeling and user manuals. Any recall could divert management's attention, cause us to incur significant expenses, harm our reputation with customers, negatively affect our future sales and business, require redesign of the CyberKnife system, harm our operating results, and result in a decline in our stock price. In these circumstances, we may also be subject to significant enforcement action. If any of these events were to occur, our ability to introduce new or enhanced products in a timely manner would be adversely affected, which in turn would harm our future growth.
Our reliance on single source suppliers for critical components of the CyberKnife system could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely and cost effective manner.
We currently depend on single source suppliers for some of the critical components necessary for the assembly of the CyberKnife system, including the robotic manipulator, imaging plates, robotic couch and magnetron. If any single source suppliers were to cease delivering components to us or fail to provide the components on a timely basis, we might be required to qualify an alternate supplier and we would likely experience a lengthy delay in our manufacturing processes, which would result in delays of shipment to end users. We cannot assure you that our single source suppliers will be able or willing to meet our future demands.
We generally do not maintain large volumes of inventory. Furthermore, if we are required to change the manufacturer of a critical component of the CyberKnife system, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality requirements. We also will be required to assess the new manufacturer's compliance with all applicable regulations and guidelines, which could further impede our ability to manufacture our products in a timely manner. If the change in manufacturer results in a significant change to the
15
product, a new 510(k) clearance would be necessary, which would likely cause substantial delays. The disruption or termination of the supply of key components for the CyberKnife system could harm our ability to generate revenue, lead to customer dissatisfaction and damage our reputation and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our accountants have identified and reported to us material weaknesses for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, relating to our internal controls over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and our stock price.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting. These weaknesses and deficiencies relate to a lack of segregation of duties and the misapplication of accounting policies, including policies related to revenue recognition and stock-based compensation.
Our independent registered public accounting firm was not, however, engaged to audit, nor has it audited, the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, our independent registered public accounting firm has not rendered an opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting. Likewise, we have not performed an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, as we are not currently required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If such an evaluation had been performed or when we are required to perform such an evaluation, additional material weaknesses, significant deficiencies and other control deficiencies may have been or may be identified. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to help ensure that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be evaluated frequently.
Even after any corrective actions are implemented, the effectiveness of our controls and procedures may be limited by a variety of risks including:
Although we have taken measures to remediate the material weaknesses as well as the other significant deficiencies and control deficiencies, we cannot assure you that we have identified all, or that we will not in the future have additional material weaknesses, significant deficiencies and control deficiencies. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not evaluated any of the measures we have taken, or that we propose to take, to address the material weaknesses and the significant deficiencies and control deficiencies discussed above. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect management's assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, required with the filing of our quarterly and annual reports after our initial public offering, and the results of periodic management evaluations and annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting that will be required when the Securities and Exchange Commission's, or SEC's, rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 become applicable to us beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2008.
16
The existence of a material weakness could result in errors in our consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price.
Our industry is subject to intense competition and rapid technological change, which may result in products or new tumor treatments that are superior to the CyberKnife system. If we are unable to anticipate or keep pace with changes in the marketplace and the direction of technological innovation and customer demands, our products may become less useful or obsolete and our operating results will suffer.
The medical device industry in general and the non-invasive cancer treatment field in particular are subject to intense and increasing competition and rapidly evolving technologies. Because our products often have long development and government approval cycles, we must anticipate changes in the marketplace and the direction of technological innovation and customer demands. To compete successfully, we will need to continue to demonstrate the advantages of our products and technologies over well-established alternative procedures, products and technologies, and convince physicians and other healthcare decision makers of the advantages of our products and technologies. Traditional surgery and other forms of minimally invasive procedures, chemotherapy or other drugs remain alternatives to the CyberKnife system. Also, we compete directly with traditional radiosurgery systems primarily from Elekta AB (publ), or Elekta, BrainLAB AG, the Integra Radionics business of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, or Radionics, and Varian Medical Systems, Inc., or Varian.
The market for standard linear accelerators, or linacs, is dominated by three companies: Elekta, Siemens AG and Varian. In addition, TomoTherapy Incorporated recently introduced a radiation therapy product. The CyberKnife system is not typically used to perform traditional radiation therapy and therefore does not usually compete directly with standard medical linacs that perform standard radiation therapy. However, some manufacturers of standard linac based radiation therapy systems, including Varian and Elekta, have products that can be used in combination with body and/or head frames and image-guidance systems to perform radiosurgery. In addition, many government, academic and business entities are investing substantial resources in research and development of cancer treatments, including surgical approaches, radiation treatment, drug treatment, gene therapy and other approaches. Successful developments that result in new approaches for the treatment of cancer could reduce the attractiveness of our products or render them obsolete.
Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to establish and maintain a competitive position in current and future technologies. Rapid technological development may render the CyberKnife system and its technologies obsolete. Many of our competitors have or may have greater corporate, financial, operational, sales and marketing resources, and more experience in research and development than we have. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies or products that are more effective or commercially attractive than our products or that would render our technologies and products obsolete. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise, marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully in the future. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a competitive position with our technologies.
Our competitive position also depends on:
17
If the CyberKnife system is not competitive based on these or other factors, our business would be harmed.
We must obtain and maintain regulatory approvals in international markets in which we sell, or seek to sell, our products.
In order for us to market and sell the CyberKnife system internationally, either through direct sales personnel or through distributors, we must obtain and maintain regulatory clearances applicable to the countries and regions in which we are selling, or are seeking to sell, our products. These regulatory approvals and clearances, and the process required to obtain and maintain them, vary substantially among international jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, we rely on our distributors to manage the regulatory process and we are dependent on their ability to do so effectively. For example, in Japan, our clearances are currently limited to use of the CyberKnife system in the head and neck. In addition, our regulatory approval in Japan was suspended for a period of twelve months during 2003 as a result of a failure of our distributor to coordinate product modifications and obtain necessary regulatory clearances in a timely manner. In the event that we are unable to obtain and maintain regulatory clearances for the CyberKnife system, including new clearances for system upgrades and use of the system anywhere in the body, in international markets we have entered or desire to enter, our international sales could fail to grow or decline. These events would harm our business and could cause our stock price to decline.
It is difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technologies, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.
Our success depends significantly on our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our products. Patents and other proprietary rights provide uncertain protections, and we may be unable to protect our intellectual property. For example, we may be unsuccessful in defending our patents and other proprietary rights against third party challenges.
In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions and technical security measures to protect our intellectual property rights. These measures may not be adequate to safeguard the technology underlying our products. If they do not protect our rights adequately, third parties could use our technology, and our ability to compete in the market would be reduced. Although we have attempted to obtain patent coverage for our technology where available and appropriate, there are aspects of the technology for which patent coverage was never sought or never received. There are also countries in which we sell or intend to sell the CyberKnife system but have no patents or pending patent
18
applications. Our ability to prevent others from making or selling duplicate or similar technologies will be impaired in those countries in which we have no patent protection. Although we have several issued patents in the United States and in foreign countries protecting aspects of the CyberKnife system, our pending United States and foreign patent applications may not issue, may issue only with limited coverage or may issue and be subsequently successfully challenged by others and held invalid or unenforceable.
Similarly, our issued patents and those of our licensors may not provide us with any competitive advantages. Competitors may be able to design around our patents or develop products which provide outcomes comparable or superior to ours. Our patents may be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges by third parties, and others may challenge the inventorship or ownership of our patents and pending patent applications. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In the event a competitor infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights, enforcing those rights may be difficult and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge could be expensive and time consuming and could divert our management's attention. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against a challenge.
We also license patent and other proprietary rights to aspects of our technology to third parties in fields where we currently do not operate. Disputes with our licensors may arise regarding the scope and content of these licenses. Further, our ability to expand into additional fields with our technologies may be restricted by our existing licenses or licenses we may grant to third parties in the future.
In October 2006, we received a letter from American Science and Engineering, Inc., or AS&E, expressing concerns that we may be using certain intellectual property we acquired from AS&E in a manner that breaches, or may breach, our contractual obligations under a license agreement with them in certain nonmedical fields. While we do not believe our activities breach or violate the terms of the license agreement, we cannot assure you that AS&E will not commence litigation on the grounds that we are in breach of our obligations under the license agreement.
The policies we use to protect our trade secrets may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our trade secrets by others. In addition, confidentiality agreements executed by our employees, consultants and advisors may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Litigating a trade secret claim is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge methods and know-how. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to prevent competitors from using our own inventions and intellectual property to compete against us, and our business may be harmed.
Because the medical device industry is characterized by competing intellectual property, we may be sued for violating the intellectual property rights of others.
The medical device industry is characterized by a substantial amount of litigation over patent and other intellectual property rights. In particular, the field of radiation treatment of cancer is well established and crowded with the intellectual property of competitors and others. A number of companies in our market, as well as universities and research institutions, have issued patents and have filed patent applications which relate to the use of stereotactic radiosurgery to treat solid cancerous and benign tumors.
Determining whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, and the outcome of patent litigation actions is often uncertain. We have not conducted an extensive search of patents issued to third parties, and no assurance can be given that third party patents containing claims covering our products, parts of our products, technology or methods do not exist, have not been
19
filed, or could not be filed or issued. Because of the number of patents issued and patent applications filed in our technical areas or fields, our competitors or other third parties may assert that our products and the methods we employ in the use of our products are covered by United States or foreign patents held by them. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue and because publication schedules for pending applications vary by jurisdiction, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, and which may result in issued patents which our current or future products infringe. Also, because the claims of published patent applications can change between publication and patent grant, there may be published patent applications that may ultimately issue with claims that we infringe. There could also be existing patents that one or more of our products or parts may infringe and of which we are unaware. As the number of competitors in the market for less invasive cancer treatment alternatives grows, and as the number of patents issued in this area grows, the possibility of patent infringement claims against us increases. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.
In the event that we become subject to a patent infringement or other intellectual property lawsuit and if the relevant patents or other intellectual property were upheld as valid and enforceable and we were found to infringe or violate the terms of a license to which we are a party, we could be prevented from selling our products unless we could obtain a license or were able to redesign the product to avoid infringement. If we were unable to obtain a license or successfully redesign our system, we might be prevented from selling our system. If there is an allegation or determination that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of a competitor or other person, we may be required to pay damages, or a settlement or ongoing royalties. In these circumstances, we may be unable to sell our products at competitive prices or at all, our business and operating results could be harmed and our stock price may decline.
We could become subject to product liability claims, product recalls, other field actions and warranty claims that could be expensive, divert management's attention and harm our business.
Our business exposes us to potential liability risks that are inherent in the manufacturing, marketing and sale of medical device products. We may be held liable if the CyberKnife system causes injury or death or is found otherwise unsuitable during usage. Our products incorporate sophisticated components and computer software. Complex software can contain errors, particularly when first introduced. In addition, new products or enhancements may contain undetected errors or performance problems that, despite testing, are discovered only after installation. Because our products are designed to be used to perform complex surgical procedures, defects could result in a number of complications, some of which could be serious and could harm or kill patients. It is also possible that defects in the design, manufacture or labeling of our products might necessitate a product recall or other field corrective action, which may result in warranty claims beyond our expectations and may harm our reputation. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs. The coverage limits of our insurance policies may not be adequate to cover future claims. If sales of our products increase or we suffer future product liability claims, we may be unable to maintain product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or with adequate amounts. A product liability claim, any product recalls or other field actions or excessive warranty claims, whether arising from defects in design or manufacture or otherwise, could negatively affect our sales or require a change in the design, manufacturing process or the indications for which the CyberKnife system may be used, any of which could harm our reputation and business, result in a decline in revenue and cause our stock price to fall.
In addition, if a product we designed or manufactured is defective, whether due to design or manufacturing defects, improper use of the product or other reasons, we may be required to notify
20
regulatory authorities and/or to recall the product, possibly at our expense. In 2002, we were subject to a product recall in Japan, as a result of a failure of our prior distributor to coordinate product modifications and obtain necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner. A required notification to a regulatory authority or recall could result in an investigation by regulatory authorities of our products, which could in turn result in required recalls, restrictions on the sale of the products or other civil or criminal penalties. The adverse publicity resulting from any of these actions could cause customers to review and potentially terminate their relationships with us. These investigations or recalls, especially if accompanied by unfavorable publicity or termination of customer contracts, could result in our incurring substantial costs, losing revenues and damaging our reputation, each of which would harm our business.
The safety and efficacy of our products for certain uses is not yet supported by long-term clinical data and may therefore prove to be less safe and effective than initially thought.
Although we believe that the CyberKnife system has advantages over competing products and technologies, we do not have sufficient clinical data demonstrating these advantages for all tumor indications. For example, because our CyberKnife procedures are relatively new, we have limited clinical data relating to the effectiveness of the CyberKnife system as a means of local control. In addition, we have only limited five-year patient survival rate data, which is a common long-term measure of clinical effectiveness in cancer treatment. Further, future patient studies or clinical experience may indicate that treatment with the CyberKnife system does not improve patient outcomes. Such results could slow the adoption of our products by physicians, significantly reduce our ability to achieve expected revenues and could prevent us from becoming profitable. In addition, if future results and experience indicate that our products cause unexpected or serious complications or other unforeseen negative effects, the FDA could rescind our clearances, our reputation with physicians, patients and others may suffer and we could be subject to significant legal liability.
The CyberKnife system has been in use for a limited period of time for uses outside the brain and the medical community has not yet developed a large quantity of peer-reviewed literature that supports safe and effective use in those locations in the body.
The CyberKnife system was initially cleared by regulatory authorities for the treatment of tumors in the brain and neck. More recently, the CyberKnife system has been cleared to treat tumors anywhere in the body where radiation is indicated, and our future growth is dependent in large part on continued growth in full body use of the system. Currently, however, there are a limited number of peer-reviewed medical journal publications regarding the safety and efficacy of the CyberKnife system for treatment of tumors outside the brain or spine. If later studies show that the CyberKnife system is less effective or less safe with respect to particular types of solid tumors, use of the CyberKnife system could fail to increase or could decrease and our growth and operating results would therefore be harmed.
21
International sales of the CyberKnife system account for a significant portion of our revenue, which exposes us to risks inherent in international operations.
We anticipate that a significant portion of our revenue will continue to be derived from sales of the CyberKnife system in foreign markets. This revenue and related operations will therefore continue to be subject to the risks associated with international operations, including:
In addition, future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of customs duties, export quotas, regulatory restrictions or trade restrictions could materially harm our business. Currently, the majority of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could require us to reduce our sales price or make our products less competitive in international markets. If we are unable to address these risks and challenges effectively, our international operations may not be successful and our business would be materially harmed.
We depend on third-party distributors to market and distribute the CyberKnife system in international markets. If our distributors fail to successfully market and distribute the CyberKnife system, our business will be materially harmed.
We depend on a limited number of distributors in our international markets. These international distribution relationships are exclusive by geographic region. We cannot control the efforts and resources our third-party distributors will devote to marketing the CyberKnife system. Our distributors may not be able to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife system, may not devote sufficient time and resources to support the marketing and selling efforts and may not market the CyberKnife system at prices that will permit the product to develop, achieve or sustain market acceptance. If we or our distributors terminate our existing agreements, finding new distributors could be an expensive and time-consuming process and sales could decrease during and after any transition period. If we are unable to attract additional international distributors, our international revenue may not grow. If our distributors experience difficulties, do not actively market the CyberKnife system or do not otherwise perform under our distribution agreements, our potential for revenue from international markets may be dramatically reduced, and our business could be harmed. In certain cases our distributors are responsible for the service and support of our CyberKnife systems.
22
We have limited experience and capability in manufacturing and may encounter manufacturing problems or delays that could result in lost revenue.
The CyberKnife system is complex, and requires the integration of a number of components from several sources of supply. We must manufacture and assemble these complex systems in commercial quantities in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost. We have a limited history of manufacturing commercial quantities of the CyberKnife system. In particular, we have recently begun manufacturing compact linacs as a component of the CyberKnife system. Our linac components are extremely complex devices and require significant expertise to manufacture, and as a result of our limited manufacturing experience we may have difficulty producing needed materials in a commercially viable manner. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up production of the CyberKnife system, including problems with quality control and assurance, component supply shortages, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel and/or difficulties associated with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. If our manufacturing capacity does not keep pace with product demand, we will not be able to fulfill orders in a timely manner which in turn may have a negative effect on our financial results and overall business. Conversely, if demand for our products decreases, the fixed costs associated with excess manufacturing capacity may adversely affect our financial results.
Our manufacturing processes and the manufacturing processes of our third-party suppliers are required to comply with the FDA's Quality System Regulation, or QSR. The QSR is a complex regulatory scheme that covers the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production processes, controls, manufacturing, labeling, quality assurance, packaging, storage and shipping of our products. We are also subject to state requirements and licenses applicable to manufacturers of medical devices. Because our manufacturing processes include diagnostic and therapeutic X-ray equipment and laser equipment, we are subject to the electronic product radiation control provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which requires that we file reports with the FDA, applicable states and our customers regarding the distribution, manufacturing and installation of these types of equipment. The FDA enforces the QSR and the electronic product radiation control provisions through periodic unannounced inspections. We have been, and anticipate in the future to be, subject to such inspections. Our failure or the failure of a third-party supplier to pass a QSR inspection or to comply with these and other applicable regulatory requirements could result in disruption of our operations and manufacturing delays. Our failure to take prompt and satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection or our failure to comply with applicable standards could result in enforcement actions, including a public warning letter, a shutdown of our manufacturing operations, a recall of our products, civil or criminal penalties, or other sanctions, which would cause our sales and business to suffer. We cannot assure you that the FDA or other governmental authorities would agree with our interpretation of applicable regulatory requirements or that we or our third-party suppliers have in all instances fully complied with all applicable requirements.
If we cannot achieve the required level and quality of production, we may need to outsource production or rely on licensing and other arrangements with third parties who possess sufficient manufacturing facilities and capabilities in compliance with regulatory requirements. Even if we could outsource needed production or enter into licensing or other third party arrangements, this could reduce our gross margin and expose us to the risks inherent in relying on others. We also cannot assure you that our suppliers will deliver an adequate supply of required components on a timely basis or that they will adequately comply with the QSR. Failure to obtain these components on a timely basis would disrupt our manufacturing processes and increase our costs, which would harm our operating results.
23
We depend on key employees, the loss of whom would adversely affect our business. If we fail to attract and retain employees with the expertise required for our business, we cannot grow or achieve profitability.
We are highly dependent on the members of our senior management, operations and research and development staff. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to retain these key employees and to identify, hire and retain additional personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in the medical device industry, particularly in northern California, is intense, and finding and retaining qualified personnel with experience in our industry is very difficult. We believe there are only a limited number of individuals with the requisite skills to serve in many of our key positions and we compete for key personnel with other medical equipment and software manufacturers and technology companies, as well as universities and research institutions. It is increasingly difficult to hire and retain these persons, and we may be unable to replace key persons if they leave or fill new positions requiring key persons with appropriate experience. A significant portion of our compensation to our key employees is in the form of stock option grants. A prolonged depression in our stock price could make it difficult for us to retain our employees and recruit additional qualified personnel. We do not maintain, and do not currently intend to obtain, key employee life insurance on any of our personnel. If we fail to hire and retain personnel in key positions, we may be unable to grow our business successfully.
If we do not effectively manage our growth, our business may be significantly harmed.
The number of our employees increased from 194 as of June 30, 2005 to 364 as of September 30, 2006. In addition, we have significantly expanded our development and operational facilities, including our recent acquisition of a linac manufacturing facility and our new manufacturing site. In order to implement our business strategy, we expect continued growth in our employee and infrastructure requirements, particularly as we expand our manufacturing and sales and marketing capacities. To manage our growth, we must expand our facilities, augment our management, operational and financial systems, hire and train additional qualified personnel, scale-up our manufacturing capacity and expand our marketing and distribution capabilities. Our manufacturing, assembly and installation process is complex and occurs over many months, and we must effectively scale this entire process to satisfy customer expectations and changes in demand. We also expect to increase the number of sales and marketing personnel as we expand our business. Further, to accommodate our growth and compete effectively, we will be required to improve our information systems. We cannot be certain that our personnel, systems, procedures and internal controls will be adequate to support our future operations. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, our business will suffer.
Any failure in our physician training efforts could result in lower than expected product sales and potential liabilities.
A critical component of our sales and marketing efforts is the training of a sufficient number of physicians to properly utilize the CyberKnife system. We rely on physicians to devote adequate time to learn to use our products. If physicians are not properly trained, they may misuse or ineffectively use our products. This may result in unsatisfactory patient outcomes, patient injury and related liability or negative publicity which could have an adverse effect on our product sales.
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.
As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. In particular, as a public company we will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regarding management assessment of internal controls. We will first become subject to Section 404 in connection with the audit
24
of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, and we expect to incur substantial additional audit fees and costs for that year's audit as well as for future audits. We expect that being a public company in the current regulatory environment will increase our financial and legal compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we will incur other costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from executing our growth strategy.
While we believe that our existing cash, short-term and long-term investments and the proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months, the timing and amount of our working capital and capital expenditure requirements may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including:
If our capital resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities or debt securities or obtain other debt financing. The sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Additional debt would result in increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict our operations. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing, and there is no assurance that financing, if required, will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to use, if at all.
We may attempt to acquire new businesses, products or technologies, and if we are unable to successfully complete these acquisitions or to integrate acquired businesses, products, technologies or employees, we may fail to realize expected benefits or harm our existing business.
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our product offerings and grow our business in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. In some circumstances, we may determine to do so through the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies rather than through internal development. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time consuming and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified acquisitions. Furthermore, even if we successfully complete an acquisition, we may not be able to successfully integrate newly acquired organizations, products or technologies into our operations, and the process of integration could be expensive, time consuming and may strain our resources. In addition, we may be unable to retain employees of acquired companies, or retain the acquired company's customers, suppliers, distributors or other partners who are our competitors or who have close relationships with our competitors. Consequently, we may not achieve anticipated benefits of the acquisitions which could harm our existing business. In addition, future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or expenses, or other charges such as in-process research and development,
25
any of which could harm our business and affect our financial results or cause a reduction in the price of our common stock.
Our operations are vulnerable to interruption or loss due to natural disasters, epidemics, terrorist acts and other events beyond our control, which would adversely affect our business.
Our manufacturing facility is located in a single location in Sunnyvale, California. We do not maintain a backup manufacturing facility, so we depend on our current facility for the continued operation of our business. In addition, we conduct a significant portion of other activities including administration and data processing at facilities located in the State of California which has experienced major earthquakes in the past, as well as other natural disasters. We carry limited earthquake insurance for inventory only. Such coverage may not be adequate or continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates and terms. In the event of a major earthquake or other disaster affecting our facilities, it could significantly disrupt our operations, delay or prevent product manufacture and shipment for the time required to repair, rebuild or replace our manufacturing facilities, which could be lengthy, and result in large expenses to repair or replace the facilities. In addition, concerns about terrorism or an outbreak of epidemic diseases such as avian influenza or severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, especially in our major markets of North America, Europe and Asia could have a negative effect on travel and our business operations, and result in adverse consequences on our revenues and financial performance.
Risks Related to this Offering
The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could lead to losses for stockholders.
The trading prices of the stock of newly public companies can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance of these companies. We expect our stock price to be similarly volatile. These broad market fluctuations may continue and could harm our stock price. Any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of companies that employ similar technology or sell into similar markets could also depress our stock price, regardless of our actual results.
Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock will include:
26
Substantial sales of our common stock by our stockholders could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after this offering could reduce the prevailing market prices for our common stock. Upon the closing of this offering, based on 41,954,435 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2006, we will have shares of common stock outstanding. Of these, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration. Substantially all of the 41,954,435 shares of our common stock held by existing stockholders are subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters which prohibit the sale of such shares for 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to an extension of no more than 34 additional days. All of these shares will be eligible for resale upon the expiration of the lock-up period and in some cases to volume restrictions under Rule 144 and our right of repurchase.
Our directors, executive officers and major stockholders will own approximately % of our outstanding common stock after this offering, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control.
After this offering, directors, executive officers, and current holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock, will, in the aggregate, own approximately % of our outstanding common stock. As a result, a small number of stockholders will have voting control and would be able to control the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also delay, deter or prevent a change of control of our company and will make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.
We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial in the opinion of our stockholders.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial in the opinion of our stockholders. These provisions include:
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company. Generally, Section 203 prohibits stockholders who, alone or together with their affiliates and associates, own more than 15% of the subject company from engaging in certain business combinations for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder of such subject company without approval of the board or 662/3% of the independent stockholders. The existence of these provisions could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. See "Description of capital stockanti-takeover effect of provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws" included elsewhere in this prospectus.
27
An active trading market for our common stock may not develop.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Although our common stock has been approved for quotation on NASDAQ, an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following this offering. Accordingly, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our stock is not active. The initial public offering price for our common stock was determined through negotiations between the underwriters and us. The initial public offering price may vary from the market price of our common stock after the closing of this offering. Investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payments of dividends present in our current and future debt agreements, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. We are subject to several covenants under our debt arrangements that place restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. If we do not pay dividends, a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
We have broad discretion to use the offering proceeds, and our investment of these proceeds may not yield a favorable, or any, return.
The net majority of the proceeds of this offering are not allocated for specific uses. Additionally, we may decide to use proceeds that are currently anticipated for a specific use for a different purpose. Thus, our management has broad discretion over how these proceeds are used and could spend the proceeds in ways with which you may not agree. We cannot assure you that the proceeds will be invested in a way that yields a favorable, or any, return for us.
New investors in our common stock will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The initial public offering price will be substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock. If you purchase common stock in this offering, you will incur dilution of $ in net tangible book value per share of common stock, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans may increase annually without further stockholder approval. Investors will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. See "Dilution."

If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
29
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by us will be approximately $ , or approximately $ if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares to be offered by the selling stockholders.
The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional capital and to create a public market for our common stock. Of the net proceeds we will receive from this offering, we expect to use approximately:
We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, companies, technologies, products or assets that complement our business. We have no present understandings, commitments or agreements to enter into any material acquisitions or investments. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, investment-grade interest-bearing securities or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
We have never declared or paid and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. As of June 30, 2006, our pro forma net tangible book value deficiency is approximately $58.8 million, or $1.40 per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to (1) the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into an aggregate of 25,186,285 shares of common stock and (2) the exercise of a warrant to purchase 525,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, immediately prior to the closing of this offering.
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by buyers of shares of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this offering.
After giving effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and after expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2006, would have been approximately $ million, or $ per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share to new investors purchasing shares at the initial public offering price. The following table illustrates the per share dilution:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in "Risk Factors."
Overview
We have developed the first and only commercially available intelligent robotic radiosurgery system, the CyberKnife system, designed to treat solid tumors anywhere in the body as an alternative to traditional surgery. The CyberKnife system combines continuous image-guidance technology with a compact linear accelerator, or linac, that moves in three dimensions according to the treatment plan. This combination, which we refer to as intelligent robotics, extends the benefits of radiosurgery to the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife system autonomously tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time during the procedure, enabling delivery of precise, high dose radiation typically with sub-millimeter accuracy. The CyberKnife procedure requires no anesthesia, can be performed on an outpatient basis and allows for the treatment of patients that otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or who may not have been good candidates for surgery. In addition, the CyberKnife procedure avoids many of the potential risks and complications that are associated with other treatment options and is more cost effective than traditional surgery.
In July 1999, we obtained 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the CyberKnife system for the treatment of tumors and certain other conditions in the head, neck and upper spine. In August 2001, we received FDA clearance for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. In September 2002, we received a CE mark for the sale of the CyberKnife system in Europe. The CyberKnife system has also been approved for various indications in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and other countries. We estimate that over 20,000 patients worldwide have been treated with the CyberKnife system since its commercial introduction.
In the United States, we sell to customers, including hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities, directly through our sales organization, which as of September 30, 2006 included 19 sales personnel. Outside the United States, we sell to customers in over 30 countries directly and through distributors. We have sales and service offices in Paris, France and Hong Kong, China.
Our CyberKnife systems are either sold to our customers or placed with our customers pursuant to our shared ownership programs. As of September 30, 2006, we had 83 CyberKnife systems installed at customer sites, including 73 sold and 10 pursuant to shared ownership programs and 78 pending installation, including 66 sold and 12 pursuant to shared ownership programs. Of the 73 systems sold and installed, 42 are in the United States, 24 are in Asia and 7 are in Europe. Of the 66 sold and pending installation, 35 are in the United States, 25 are in Asia and 6 are in Europe. Under the shared ownership program, we retain title to the CyberKnife system while the customer has use of the system. Our shared ownership contracts generally require a minimum monthly payment from the customer, and we may earn additional revenue through the use of the system at the site. Generally, minimum monthly payments are equivalent to the revenue generated from treating three to four patients per month, and any revenue received from additional patients is shared between us and the customer. As of September 30, 2006, we had 22 shared ownership programs, of which 10 are installed and 12 are pending installation. Our legacy shared ownership program was known as the placement program.
We manufacture and assemble our CyberKnife systems at our manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale, California. We purchase major components, including the robotic manipulator, treatment table,
35
magnetron, imaging cameras and computers, from outside suppliers, some of which are single source. We manufacture certain other electronic and electrical subsystems, including the linear accelerator. We then assemble and integrate these components with our proprietary software and perform testing prior to shipment to customer sites.
We generate revenue by selling the CyberKnife system and by providing ongoing services and upgrades to customers following installation of the CyberKnife system. The current list price for the CyberKnife system is approximately $4.1 million, which includes installation, initial training and a one-year warranty. We also offer optional hardware and software, technical enhancements and upgrades to the CyberKnife system, as part of our multiyear service plans. Currently, our most comprehensive service plan is our Diamond Elite multiyear service plan, or Diamond plan. Under our Diamond plan, customers are eligible to receive up to two upgrades per year, when and if available. The Diamond plan has a list price of $460,000 per year, and provides for annual renewal for four years including the one-year warranty period. The customer may cancel the service plan at any time. As of September 30, 2006, 59 of our customers had purchased service plans.
Our total net revenue was $19.6 million, $22.4 million and $52.9 million during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Our net loss was $11.7 million, $25.2 million and $33.7 million during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Our net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million, $18.0 million and $25.5 million during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, our backlog was approximately $312.2 million. We anticipate that this backlog will be recognized over the next five years as we complete installations, deliver upgrades and provide service.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting. These weaknesses and deficiencies relate to a lack of segregation of duties and the misapplication of accounting policies, including policies related to revenue recognition and stock-based compensation.
Our efforts to remediate these material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting consist of the following corrective actions: (i) hiring and training additional, qualified finance and accounting personnel; and (ii) strengthening our processes and procedures related to complex revenue recognition and equity transactions. However, even after these corrective actions are implemented, the effectiveness of our controls and procedures may be limited by a variety of risks.
Although we have taken measures to remediate the material weaknesses as well as the other significant deficiencies and control deficiencies, we cannot assure you that we have identified all, or that we will not in the future have additional material weaknesses, significant deficiencies and control deficiencies.
36
Sales and Installation Cycle
The CyberKnife system has a relatively long sales and installation cycle because it is a major capital item and requires the approval of senior management at purchasing institutions. The typical sales and installation cycle is 12 to 18 months in duration and involves multiple steps, which may include pre-selling activity, execution of a letter of intent, or LOI, execution of contracts for the purchase or acquisition of the CyberKnife system and multiyear service plans, and installation of the CyberKnife system. Prior to installation, a purchasing institution must typically obtain a radiation device installation permit, and in some cases, a certificate of need, both of which must be granted by state and local government bodies. In addition, the purchasing institution must build a radiation shielded facility or upgrade an existing facility to house the CyberKnife system. On average it takes three months from the signing of an LOI to the execution of a contract. We typically receive a $450,000 deposit at the time the CyberKnife system purchase contract is executed, and the remaining balance for the purchase of the CyberKnife system upon installation. The customer also typically signs a service plan contract at the time of signing a CyberKnife system purchase contract.
Upon installation, we recognize the CyberKnife system purchase price minus the fair value of one year of service. We recognize the fair value of the first year of service as revenue pro rata over the twelve months following installation. In addition, if the customer has purchased our Diamond plan and assuming annual renewals, we would receive the $460,000 payment at the beginning of the second, third and fourth years of the multiyear service plan and recognize the revenue pro rata over each year.
Legacy Service Plans
Prior to introducing our Diamond plan, we offered a Platinum Elite multiyear service plan, or Platinum plan. These legacy service plans are structured so that we have an obligation to deliver two upgrades per year over the course of the multiyear service plan. If we fail to deliver the upgrades, our customers are entitled to receive refunds of up to $200,000. We no longer offer these legacy service plans to new customers.
The Platinum plan obligates us to deliver two upgrades per year during the term of the contract. We have not yet established fair value for those future obligations; hence, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires that we cannot begin to recognize any of the revenue derived from the sale of the CyberKnife system or the associated service plans until those obligations have been fulfilled. Therefore, the payments made by our customers who have our legacy Platinum plan are categorized as deferred revenue and will be recognized as revenue when we fulfill all obligations to deliver upgrades. Once we fulfill all upgrade obligations with respect to a specific Platinum plan, we will ratably recognize the revenue from the purchase of the CyberKnife system and the Platinum plan over the remaining life of the contract.
Warranty
All customers purchasing a CyberKnife system receive a one-year warranty. In the event that a customer does not purchase a multiyear service plan, we recognize the CyberKnife system purchase price minus the fair value of one year of support upon installation. We recognize the value of one year of support pro rata over the twelve months following installation. If the customer does purchase a multiyear service plan, the revenue recognition is as described above.
Shared Ownership Programs Revenue
As of June 30, 2006, our shared ownership programs involved U.S. sites only. Revenue from our shared ownership programs that is based on a minimum monthly payment is recognized monthly.
37
Revenue in excess of the monthly minimum is recognized upon our receipt of a usage report from our customer. We recognized revenue from shared ownership programs of $4.8 million, $8.1 million and $8.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. In limited cases, we received nonrefundable upfront payments from shared ownership program customers which are treated as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the contract.
The CyberKnife system shared ownership units are recorded within property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated life of ten years. Depreciation and warranty expense attributable to shared ownership units are recorded within product costs of revenue as they are incurred.
Japan Customized Service Revenue
In May and December 2003, we entered into separate contractual arrangements to deliver customized services to our distributor in Japan for 22 CyberKnife systems previously sold. These customized services consist of two upgrade levels and are being delivered over an extended period concurrent with the distributor's efforts to coordinate delivery with their end user customers. Once the obligations under the upgrade programs for these 22 systems are complete, we do not plan to offer this customized service program and will instead be offering our standard multiyear service plans.
International Sales Revenue
For international sales, we recognize revenue once we have met all of our obligations associated with the purchase agreement, other than for undelivered service elements for which we have vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value. In most cases, this occurs after the distributor has shipped the unit to the end user, assuming all other obligations have been satisfied. Payments are sometimes secured through letters of credit. In situations where we are directly responsible for installation, we recognize revenue once we have installed the CyberKnife system and have confirmed performance against specification.
In November 2005, we introduced the Ruby multiyear service plan, or Ruby plan, for international customers. Under the Ruby plan, customers are eligible to receive software only upgrades when and if available. We expect to recognize revenue for Ruby plans in a manner similar to revenue recognition under our Diamond plans.
In situations with legacy plans where we have future obligations related to software upgrades that are subject to potential refunds, we defer revenue from the sale and service of the CyberKnife system until the final upgrade has been delivered and accepted. After we have delivered all upgrades associated with a service plan and thus eliminated any contractual right to a refund, we ratably recognize the revenue from the sale of the CyberKnife system and the plan over the remaining life of the contract or until we have VSOE of the fair value of remaining undelivered elements. Net revenue from international customers was $6.7 million, $8.1 million and $12.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Backlog
We define backlog as the sum of the following two components: deferred revenue and future payments that our customers are contractually committed to make, but which we have not yet received. Backlog includes contractual commitments from CyberKnife system purchase agreements, service plans and minimum payment requirements associated with our shared ownership programs.
As of June 30, 2006, our backlog was approximately $312.2 million, which includes $149.7 million of deferred revenue and $162.5 million of contractually committed future payments from customers. Of the total backlog, $187.7 million represents CyberKnife system sales, and $124.5 million represents
38
revenue through service plans and shared ownership programs. We anticipate that this backlog will be recognized over the next five years as installations occur, upgrades are delivered and services are provided. Although backlog includes contractual commitments from our customers, we may be unable to convert all of this backlog into recognized revenue due to factors outside our control.
Results of Operations
Overview
Our results of operations are divided into the following components:
Net revenue. Our net revenue consists primarily of revenue from the sale of CyberKnife systems, revenue generated from shared ownership programs, revenue generated from sales of upgrades, customized services and multiyear service plans and revenue from the sale of linacs for other uses.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of material, labor and overhead costs. In future periods we expect cost of revenue to decrease as a percentage of total net revenue due to improved absorption of manufacturing overhead costs associated with increased production volumes, improved efficiencies for supplies and materials and improved labor and manufacturing efficiencies.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs for personnel and costs associated with participation in medical conferences, physician symposia, and promotional activities. In future periods, we expect selling and marketing expenses to grow in absolute terms as we increase headcount and further increase participation in trade shows and symposia and invest in other marketing and promotional activities, but to continue to decrease as a percentage of total net revenue as we leverage our existing infrastructure and realize economies of scale.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of activities associated with our product development, regulatory, and clinical organizations. In future periods, we expect research and development expenses to grow in absolute terms as we increase headcount and development activities, but to decrease as a percentage of total net revenue as we leverage our existing infrastructure and realize economies of scale.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for finance and human resources, and expenses related to accounting, legal and other consulting fees. In future periods, we expect general and administrative expenses to grow in absolute terms as we become subject to the reporting requirements of a public company and incur additional costs related to the overall growth of our business, but to decrease as a percentage of total net revenue as we leverage our existing infrastructure and realize economies of scale.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.
Interest and other expense. Interest and other expense consists primarily of interest expense related to advance payments received in relation to our shared ownership program.
Deferred RevenueLegacy Multiyear Service Plans
We are required to defer all of the revenue associated with our legacy multiyear service plans, including our Platinum and Gold service plans, until we have satisfied all of the specified obligations related to the delivery of upgrades to the CyberKnife system during the life of the service plan. This includes deferring the cash received for the purchase of the CyberKnife system and multiyear service plans until we have delivered all upgrades for which the customer is eligible to receive. Once we have satisfied obligations for delivery of upgrades under the plans, we recognize revenue pro rata over the remaining life of the service plan. We have not offered these legacy multiyear service plans to new
39
customers since we introduced our Diamond plan in October 2005, but continue to service 45 legacy plans as of September 30, 2006. Therefore, our deferred revenue has been higher in certain periods where we have installed more units with legacy contracts, and it will be higher in the short term until we can satisfy the contractual obligations and recognize the revenue associated with those installed units. This has led to significant fluctuations in total net revenue in historical periods. Consequently, our operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenue are relatively higher, when compared to companies at a similar stage of commercialization, in the periods where we have had a higher mix of deferred revenue and thus lower total net revenue. In future periods, we expect operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenue to decline.
Year Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2006
Net revenue. Total net revenue increased from $22.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $52.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Product revenue increased from $9.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $36.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, primarily attributable to an increase from fiscal 2005 to 2006 in the number of CyberKnife system units shipped and installed and a change in the mix of service plans. In the year ended June 30, 2005, 24 CyberKnife system units were installed, including 21 units sold, and 3 units attributable to our shared ownership programs. In the year ended June 30, 2006, 28 were installed, including 25 that were sold, and 3 that were attributable to our shared ownership programs. Pursuant to our service plans, we recognized revenue from the sale of 2 and 11 CyberKnife systems in fiscal 2005 and 2006, respectively. Service revenue increased from $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $4.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, primarily attributable to an increase in the number of customer sites under a service plan. Revenue from upgrades and sales of linacs classified as "Other revenue" in our consolidated statements of operations, increased from $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $3.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased from $11.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $27.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in CyberKnife systems installed and recognized as revenue during fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005, as well as an increase of $409,000 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of total net revenue, total cost of revenue was 49.7% and 52.0% for the year ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The increase in total cost of revenue as a percentage of total net revenue was a result of costs associated with introducing our latest generation CyberKnife system.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased from $16.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $25.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.0 million in salary and related costs largely due to increased headcount, an increase of $1.4 million in travel and related expenses attributable to selling and marketing activities, an increase of $1.1 million in consulting expenses, an increase of $1.0 million in marketing and promotional activities, an increase of $820,000 in sales commission expenses resulting from increased sales volume and an increase of $666,000 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of total net revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased from 73.1% for the year ended June 30, 2005 to 47.6% for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased from $11.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $17.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.4 million in salary and related costs largely due to increased headcount, an increase of $1.5 million in consulting services, an increase of $515,000 in purchases of non-inventory materials and an increase of $417,000 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of total net revenues, research and development expenses decreased from 52.1% for the year ended June 30, 2005 to 33.6% for the year ended June 30, 2006.
40
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $8.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $15.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal and accounting costs of $3.4 million, an increase in salary and related costs of $2.1 million, an increase of $565,000 in other consulting fees and an increase of $425,000 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of total net revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased from 36.3% for the year ended June 30, 2005 to 30.1% for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income increased from $156,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $438,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was due to larger cash balances kept in interest bearing accounts.
Interest and other expense. Interest and other expense decreased from $394,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $382,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense on advanced payments received from third party financing arrangements in connection with our shared ownership programs.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from $68,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $258,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to an increase in foreign operations, as well as federal alternative minimum tax and additional state taxes.
As of June 30, 2006, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $40.6 million and $16.6 million, respectively. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset against future taxable income, if any, in varying amounts and will begin to expire in varying amounts beginning in 2009 and 2007 for federal and state purposes, respectively. The amounts of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to changes in ownership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of our net operating losses before they can be used. In addition, among other matters, realization of the entire deferred tax asset is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforwards. While we had taxable income in 2006, based on the available objective evidence and the history of losses, we cannot conclude that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the amount of our net deferred tax assets.
Year Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2005
Net revenue. Total net revenue increased from $19.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $22.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in shared ownership revenue and service revenue, offset by a decrease in product revenue. The decrease in product revenue from $12.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $9.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to a change in the mix of service plans in fiscal 2005 versus fiscal 2004. In the year ended June 30, 2004, 16 CyberKnife systems were installed, including 15 units sold and 1 unit attributable to our shared ownership programs. In the year ended June 30, 2005, 24 CyberKnife systems were installed, including 21 units sold and 3 units attributable to our shared ownership programs. Pursuant to our service plans, we recognized revenue from the sale of 5 and 2 CyberKnife systems in fiscal 2004 and 2005, respectively. Shared ownership revenue increased from $4.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $8.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to an increase in the number of shared ownership sites and an increase in patient treatment volume at the existing sites. Service revenue increased from $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, due to an increase in the number of customer sites under a service program. Other revenue increased from $125,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 due to an increase in the number of shipped upgrade units.
41
Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased from $8.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $11.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cost of shared ownership revenue from $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, and an increase in cost of service revenue from $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase in cost of shared ownership revenue is primarily due to an increase in the number of shared ownership sites, and the increase in cost of service revenue is primarily due to an increase in number of customer sites under a service plan. As a percentage of total net revenue, total cost of revenue was 43.4% and 49.7% for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The increase in total cost of revenue as a percentage of total net revenue in fiscal 2005 was due primarily to the decrease in product revenue, which typically results in higher gross margins than our other sources of revenue.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased from $10.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $16.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.5 million in salary and related costs, largely due to increased headcount, an increase of $1.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, an increase of $964,000 in travel, an increase of $778,000 in marketing and promotional activities and an increase of $375,000 in sales commission expenses resulting from increased sales volume. As a percentage of total net revenue, selling and marketing expenses were 54.4% and 73.1% for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased from $7.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $11.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary and related costs of $1.8 million, an increase in consulting services of $1.7 million, and an increase of $509,000 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of total net revenue, research and development expenses increased from 37.4% for the year ended June 30, 2004 to 52.1% for the year ended June 30, 2005.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $8.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, an increase of $1.1 million in salary and related costs and an increase of $345,000 in consulting expenses. As a percentage of total net revenue, general and administrative expenses were 23.9% for the year ended June 30, 2004 and 36.3% for the year ended June 30, 2005.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income increased from $13,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $156,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was due to larger cash balances kept in interest bearing accounts.
Interest and other expense. Interest and other expense increased from $149,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $394,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. Interest and other expense for the year ended June 30, 2005 was comprised primarily of $190,000 in interest expense related to advanced payments received in relation to the shared ownership program and $93,000 of interest expense related to a note payable to American Science and Engineering, Inc., or AS&E, associated with the acquisition of the High Energy Systems, or HES, business.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from $3,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $68,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 due to an increase in foreign operations and additional state taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense is reflected on our income statement in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, or SFAS 148. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, we have recorded deferred stock-based compensation for the estimated fair value of options awarded on the date of grant. This deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized to expense over the period during which the options become exercisable, generally four years. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we reversed $1.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of deferred stock-based compensation expense related to cancellations of unvested options of certain employees who had been granted stock options and subsequently terminated their employment with us. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we amortized $2.3 million, $5.5 million and $7.9 million, of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for stock options granted to employees.
The stock-based compensation expense related to non-employees fluctuates as the underlying assumptions fluctuate. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we recognized $137,000, $164,000 and $186,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for stock options granted to non-employees. For certain stock option grants, we made modifications to the option terms. These modifications included extension of the vesting period and acceleration of vesting. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we recognized $0, $631,000 and $112,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for modifications of stock options granted.
High Energy Systems Acquisition
In January 2005, we acquired AS&E's HES business for $8.4 million. This acquisition included the intellectual property associated with our X-band linac and included the hiring of key employees from AS&E. HES had been the sole source manufacturer of the linac used in the CyberKnife system. We believe that the HES acquisition stabilizes the sourcing of a component critical to the CyberKnife system and provides opportunities for focused cost reduction efforts to improve overall product margins. In addition to making and developing our own compact linacs, we supply linacs to AS&E for non-destructive testing and national security uses and to a medical device manufacturer for medical applications.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have used cash from operations and the sale of our equity securities to fund our working capital needs and our capital expenditure requirements. Since our inception and through June 30, 2006, we have obtained financing of $40.8 million primarily through private placements of debt and equity securities, and the exercise of warrants and options. At June 30, 2006, we had $27.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe that we have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows, without the proceeds of this offering, to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Our net loss of $33.7 million during fiscal 2006 was offset by a $39.6 million increase in deferred revenue, net of deferred cost of revenue, non-cash charges of $8.2 million related to stock-based compensation charges and $3.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense on purchases of property and equipment. The increase in deferred revenue, net of deferred cost of revenue, was primarily a result of the timing differences between invoicing customers under service contracts and the recognition of revenue over the contractual service period, and the continued installation of units covered by our legacy service plans. Other significant working capital changes that contributed to positive cash flow in
43
fiscal 2006 included an increase in customer advances of $10.9 million due to increased payments made by customers in advance of product shipments and an increase in accrued liabilities of $9.4 million primarily due to increases in accrued commissions on higher revenues and other compensation related accruals due to increased headcount. Significant working capital changes that offset positive cash flows in fiscal 2006 included an increase in accounts receivable of $6.6 million and an increase in inventory of $4.3 million as a result of increased revenues and volumes of orders from our customers.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. Our net loss of $25.2 million during fiscal 2005 was offset by a $28.0 million increase in deferred revenue, net of deferred cost of revenue, non-cash charges of $6.3 million related to stock-based compensation charges and $2.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense on purchases of property and equipment. The increase in deferred revenue, net of deferred cost of revenue, was primarily a result of the continued installation of units covered by our legacy service plans. Other significant working capital changes that contributed to positive cash flow in fiscal 2005 included customer advances of $3.7 million due to increased payments made by customers in advance of product shipment, an increase in accounts payable of $2.1 million and an increase in accrued liabilities of $1.9 million due to increases in the volume of our business. Significant working capital changes that offset positive cash flows in fiscal 2005 included an increase in inventory of $2.3 million as a result of increased volumes of orders from our customers and inventory acquired in the HES acquisition.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. Our net loss of $11.7 million during fiscal 2004 was offset by a $10.8 million increase in deferred revenue, net of deferred cost of revenue, non-cash charges of $2.4 million related to stock-based compensation charges and $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense on purchases of property and equipment. The increase in deferred revenue, net of deferred cost of revenue, was primarily a result of the continued installation of units covered by our legacy service plans. Other significant working capital changes that contributed to positive cash flow in fiscal 2004 included customer advances of $1.8 million due to increased payments made by customers in advance of product shipment and an increase in accrued liabilities of $1.4 million and an increase in accounts payable of $1.1 million due to increases in the volume of our business.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $12.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $12.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 and $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. The net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $13.6 million. In fiscal 2005, net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $6.2 million and cash paid for the acquisition of HES of $5.6 million. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2004 was due to purchases of property and equipment of $5.6 million.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 and $3.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. The net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2006 was due to the payment of a note payable of $3.0 million offset by proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and common stock warrants of $705,000. In fiscal years 2005 and 2004, net cash provided by financing activities was attributable to proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and common stock warrants of $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, along with the cash we expect to generate from operations and our net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least 12 months. If these sources of cash and the net proceeds from this offering are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Additional financing may not be available at all, or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business and operating results during the periods presented.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
45
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe the following are our critical accounting policies including the more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generated from the sale of our products, our shared ownership programs, and by providing related services, which include installation services, post-contract customer support, or PCS, training and consulting. Our products and upgrades to those products include more than incidental software and accordingly, we account for the sale of our products pursuant to Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, or SOP 97-2, as amended.
We recognize product revenues, for sales of the CyberKnife system, replacement parts and accessories, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable and delivery has occurred as prescribed by SOP 97-2. Payments received in advance of product shipment are recorded as customer advances and are recognized as revenue or deferred revenue upon product shipment or installation.
For arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate arrangement consideration to services and PCS, based upon VSOE of fair value of the respective elements. VSOE of fair value for the services element is based upon our standard rates charged for the services when such services are sold separately or based upon the prices established by management having the relevant authority when that service is not yet being sold separately. When contracts contain multiple elements, and VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements, principally the CyberKnife system unit, based upon the "residual method" as prescribed by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for the undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until the earlier of: (1) delivery of all elements; or (2) establishment of VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements.
Upgrade services revenues relate to the sale of specialized services specifically contracted to provide current technology capabilities for units previously sold through a distributor into the Japan market. There are two upgrade programs, one of which includes training and PCS elements. Both programs include elements where VSOE of fair value has not been established for the PCS. As a result, associated revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the PCS arrangement, generally four years.
Service revenue for providing PCS, which includes warranty services, extended warranty services, unspecified when-and-if available product updates, and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period, generally one year, until no further obligation exists. At the time of sale, we provide for the estimated incremental costs of meeting product warranty if the incremental warranty costs are expected to exceed the related service revenues. Training and consulting service revenues, that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the CyberKnife system, are recognized as such services are performed. Costs associated with providing PCS and maintenance services are recognized when incurred, except when those costs are related to units where revenue recognition has been deferred. In those cases, the costs are deferred until the recognition of the related revenue and are recognized over the period of revenue recognition.
46
For all sales, we use either a signed agreement or a binding purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. Sales to third party distributors are evidenced by a distribution agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. We record revenue from arrangements with distributors based on a sell-through method where revenue is recognized upon shipment of the products to the end user customer once all revenue recognition criteria are met. These criteria require that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there is no right of return. Our agreements with customers and distributors do not contain product return rights.
We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We generally do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we will defer the fee and recognize revenue upon receipt of cash.
We also enter into shared ownership programs with certain customers. Under the terms of such programs, we retain title to the CyberKnife system, while the customer has use of the system. We generally receive a minimum monthly payment and earn additional revenues from the customer based upon its use of the product. We may provide unspecified upgrades to the products during the term of each program, when and if available. Upfront non-refundable payments from the customer are deferred and recognized as revenue over the contractual period. Revenues from shared ownership programs are recorded as they become earned and receivable, and are included within shared ownership revenue in the statement of operations.
The CyberKnife system shared ownership units are recorded within property, plant and equipment on our balance sheet and are depreciated over their estimated useful life of ten years. Depreciation and warranty expense attributable to the shared ownership units are recorded within product cost of revenue as they are incurred.
Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of deferred product revenue, deferred shared ownership revenue, deferred service revenue and deferred other revenue. Deferred product revenue arises from the timing differences between the shipment of products and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy. Deferred shared ownership revenue results from the receipt of advance payments of monthly minimum lease payments, which will be recognized ratably over the term of the shared ownership program. Deferred service revenue results from the advance payment for services to be delivered over a period of time, usually one year. Service revenue is recognized ratably over the service period. Deferred other revenue results primarily from the Japan upgrade services programs and is due to timing difference between the receipt of cash payments for those upgrades and final delivery to the end user customer. Deferred cost of revenue consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of units, direct service costs for which the revenue has been deferred in accordance with our revenue recognition policies and deferred costs associated with Japan upgrade revenues. Deferred revenue and associated deferred cost of revenue that are expected to be realized within one year are classified as current liabilities and current assets, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Effective July 1, 2003, we began to account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. Under SFAS 123, stock-based compensation expense is measured on the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. Upon adoption of this standard, we elected to use the retrospective restatement method of transition.
We believe the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is calculated at the date of
47
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as prescribed by SFAS 123, using fair values of common stock between $2.63 and $7.63 per share and the following weighted-average assumptions during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006:
|
Years ended June 30, |

Weighted-average expected life | 6.25 years | 6.25 years | 6.25 years | ||||
Expected volatility | 99.6 | % | 94.8 | % | 86.7 | % |
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, we have recorded deferred stock-based compensation for the estimated fair value of our options on the date of grant. This deferred stock-based compensation is amortized to expense over the period during which the options become exercisable, generally four years. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we reversed $1.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of deferred stock-based compensation related to cancellations of unvested options of certain employees who had been granted stock options and subsequently terminated their employment with us. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we amortized $2.3 million, $5.5 million and $7.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for stock options granted to employees.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees is recognized as the stock options are earned in accordance with SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. We believe that the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as prescribed by SFAS 123, using fair values of common stock between $2.63 and $7.63 per share and the following weighted-average assumptions during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006:

The stock-based compensation expense related to non-employees fluctuates as the underlying assumptions fluctuate. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we recognized $137,000, $164,000 and $186,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for stock options granted to non-employees. For certain stock option grants, we made modifications to the option terms. These modifications included extension of the vesting period and acceleration of vesting. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we recognized $0, $631,000 and $112,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for modifications of stock options granted.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions.
48
For direct sales outside the United States it is likely we will sell in the local currency. For the year ended June 30, 2006, all of our executed sales contracts were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of four sales contracts denominated in Euros. Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products outside the United States. Some of our commissions related to sales of the CyberKnife system are payable in Euros. To the extent that management can predict the timing of payments under these contracts, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate such risks.
From time to time, we invest our excess cash primarily in money market funds, U.S. government securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper. Accordingly, we believe that while the instruments we hold are subject to changes in the financial standing of the issuer of such securities, we are not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, or SFAS 154. SFAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 20, or APB 20, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of change a cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle whereas SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS 154 enhances the consistency of financial information between periods. SFAS 154 will be effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a Statement, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements Nos. 123 and 95, or SFAS 123R, that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of operations. This new standard will be effective for us beginning with our fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.
We plan to adopt SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, under which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted or modified after the effective date and (b) based on the previous requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The amounts disclosed within our footnotes are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will be expensed upon the adoption of SFAS 123R. Compensation expense calculated under SFAS 123R may differ from the amounts currently disclosed within our footnotes based on changes in the fair value of our common stock, changes in the number of options granted or the terms of such options, the treatment of tax benefits and changes in interest rates or other factors. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, we plan to use the Black-Scholes model to value the compensation expense associated with employee stock options and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan.
49
We expect this standard will not have a significant impact on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as cash flow from financing activities, rather than as cash flow from operations as required under SFAS 123. This requirement will reduce net cash flows from operations and increase net cash flows from financing activities in periods after adoption to the extent that such excess tax benefits are realized.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 107, regarding the Staff's interpretation of SFAS 123R. This interpretation provides the Staff's views regarding interactions between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The interpretive guidance is intended to assist companies in applying the provisions of SFAS 123R and investors and users of the financial statements in analyzing the information provided. We will follow the guidance prescribed in SAB 107 in connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have not yet determined what impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We have developed the first and only commercially available intelligent robotic radiosurgery system, the CyberKnife system, designed to treat solid tumors anywhere in the body as an alternative to traditional surgery. For over 30 years, traditional radiosurgery systems, or systems that deliver precise, high dose radiation directly to a tumor, have been used primarily to destroy brain tumors. Our CyberKnife system represents the next generation of radiosurgery systems, combining continuous image-guidance technology with a compact linear accelerator that has the flexibility to move in three dimensions according to the treatment plan. This combination, which we refer to as intelligent robotics, extends the benefits of radiosurgery to the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife system autonomously tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time during the procedure, enabling delivery of precise, high dose radiation typically with sub-millimeter accuracy. Traditional radiosurgery systems have limited mobility and generally require the use of rigid frames, restricting the ability to effectively treat tumors outside of the brain. The CyberKnife system does not have these limitations and therefore has increased flexibility to treat tumors throughout the body from many different directions, while minimizing the delivery of radiation to healthy tissue and vital organs. The CyberKnife procedure requires no anesthesia, can be performed on an outpatient basis and allows for the treatment of patients that otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or who may not have been good candidates for surgery. In addition, the CyberKnife procedure avoids many of the potential risks and complications that are associated with other treatment options and is more cost effective than traditional surgery.
The CyberKnife system has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, 510(k) clearance to provide treatment planning and image-guided robotic radiosurgery for tumors anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. The CyberKnife system has also received a CE mark for sale in Europe and has been approved for various indications in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and other countries. As of September 30, 2006, 83 CyberKnife systems were installed and are in use: 52 in the United States, 10 of which are pursuant to our shared ownership programs, 24 in Asia and 7 in Europe. In addition, as of September 30, 2006, we had 78 CyberKnife systems pending installation, 12 of which will be placed with our customers pursuant to our shared ownership programs. We estimate that over 20,000 patients worldwide have been treated with the CyberKnife system since its commercial introduction. Our customers have increasingly used the CyberKnife system for indications outside of the brain for tumors on or near the spine and in the lung, liver, prostate and pancreas. Based on customer data, more than 50% of patients treated with the CyberKnife system in the United States during the three months ended September 30, 2006 were treated for tumors outside of the brain.
Cancer Market Overview
According to the World Health Organization, or WHO, an estimated 7.6 million people died of cancer in 2005, accounting for 13% of all deaths worldwide. The WHO estimates that there are 24.6 million people living with cancer worldwide, with approximately 10.9 million new cases being diagnosed every year. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease. The American Cancer Society, or ACS, estimates that approximately 564,000 Americans will die as a result of cancer in 2006. The ACS also estimates that approximately 1.4 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2006, with continued increases in the prevalence of cancer forecasted as the U.S. population ages. The National Institutes of Health estimates that the treatment of cancer accounted for more than $74.0 billion in direct medical costs in 2005.
Cancers can be divided broadly into two groups: solid tumor cancers, which are characterized by the growth of malignant tumors within the body in areas such as the brain, lung, liver, breast or prostate, and hematological, or blood-borne, cancers, such as leukemia. The ACS estimates that solid
51
tumor cancers will account for approximately 1.3 million, or approximately 92%, of new cancer cases diagnosed and will account for approximately 500,000 cancer-related deaths in the United States in 2006. In addition, cancers that initially appear in one region of the body as a primary tumor, such as in the breast or prostate, even when diagnosed and treated, can lead to the development of tumors in other locations of the body, or secondary tumors. This is referred to as metastatic disease.
Traditional Treatments
Traditional methods for the treatment of solid tumor cancers include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and other drugs. Surgery and radiation are forms of local control, because the tumor is either directly removed through surgery or irradiated with the objective of destroying the cancer cells comprising the tumor. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment method which involves the administration of drugs with the objective of killing cancer cells anywhere in the body, including any remaining cancer cells that were not destroyed by local treatment.
Surgical Removal of Tumors
A common treatment approach, if applicable to the patient and tumor type, is the removal of the tumor through surgery, with follow-up radiation therapy to kill any remaining cancer cells in the area surrounding the tumor. Surgery is especially appropriate for certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer, where tumors are often well-defined and surgically accessible. However, many types of solid tumors, including those affecting the brain, the spine, the lungs and various other organs, present significant challenges to a traditional surgical approach. In many instances, these tumors occur in hard to reach areas or lie within or in close proximity to critical organs. Accordingly, it may be difficult or impossible to surgically access or remove the entire tumor or organ affected. For example, many tumors located near the base of the skull are difficult to treat with traditional surgery without substantial risk of injury to the visual pathways or other critical brain regions.
Traditional surgery is highly invasive, painful and involves significant operative and post-operative risks, including risks associated with anesthesia, infection and other complications. For example, surgery is very difficult to perform on lung tumors because incisions in the sternum are often required to access the lung and because the lung is in motion due to respiration. Lung surgery also entails significant risks of post-surgical complications, including severe bleeding and pneumonia. Traditional surgery also entails significant costs and recovery times, particularly for more complex and difficult surgeries. In addition, for elderly or seriously ill patients, surgery is not typically an alternative, even if the tumor were otherwise operable.
Over the past several years, minimally invasive surgical techniques including cryotherapy, radiofrequency ablation and ethanol injections have been developed to ablate tumors; however, these techniques have significant limitations. Cancer cells may not be fully ablated or destroyed and the energy source used in the procedure may damage adjoining healthy tissue or organs. In addition, these techniques are currently only available for a limited range of cancer indications. As a result, these techniques remain in limited use.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy has been used for several decades to treat the area around a tumor site, typically as an adjunct to surgery after the tumor has been removed, in an attempt to eliminate remaining cancer cells in that area. Radiation therapy is also used to directly target the tumor in certain instances when surgery is not possible. The goal of radiation therapy is to eliminate all cancer cells in an intended treatment region. However, healthy tissue outside of the intended treatment region also receives substantial radiation. In order to minimize the damage to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor area, a large number of fractions, or staged treatments, are administered daily over multiple
52
weeks. Despite the use of fractionated treatments, radiation therapy can still damage healthy tissue in the treated region, particularly since treatment delivery is relatively imprecise. Besides the potential damage to healthy tissue, radiation therapy may have a number of other adverse side effects including nausea and skin reactions. The nature and severity of these side effects can vary significantly depending on the area of the body treated and on the patient.
Improvements in radiation therapy. Recent advances in radiation therapy have focused on improving the shaping and targeting of the radiation beams to minimize irradiation of healthy tissue. These advances include the development of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, or IMRT, which is designed to improve conformality of the beam to the shape of the tumor, and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy, or IGRT, which is designed to improve targeting accuracy. However, the majority of these treatments are delivered using gantry-based linear accelerator systems that rotate the radiation source on a single axis and therefore have a limited range of motion, which restricts treatment delivery options and generally requires manual repositioning of the patient during treatment. In addition, IMRT and IGRT have a limited ability to accurately target tumors, to conform to tumor shape, and to detect and compensate for tumor and patient motion during treatment. This results in having a cumulative radiation dose pattern for IMRT and IGRT treatments which generally includes not only the tumor, but also surrounding healthy tissue.
Development of Radiosurgery
Based on the demonstrated principles of radiation as a method of destroying cancer cells, manufacturers have developed radiosurgery systems that have initially shown to be effective in the treatment of brain tumors and there have been various attempts to develop similarly accurate systems to perform radiosurgery elsewhere in the body. By destroying the tumor with a high dose of radiation, radiosurgery systems have been shown to be effective at local control without the risks, costs and other limitations of traditional surgery. Radiosurgery systems differ from traditional radiation therapy systems in that they are designed to deliver a very high cumulative dose of radiation, in a single or small number of treatments specifically targeted at the tumor rather than at a region surrounding the tumor area. The delivery of more accurate radiation allows higher doses to be delivered, increasing the probability of tumor cell death and better local control. In addition, radiosurgery can be used on patients who cannot, due to advanced age or other health reasons, tolerate traditional surgery.
Frame-based radiosurgery. One of the initial radiosurgery techniques was frame-based radiosurgery for the treatment of brain tumors. This procedure begins by attaching a rigid metal frame, known as a stereotactic frame, to the patient's head by screwing it into the skull through the skin. Besides immobilizing the patient, the frame forms a fixed coordinate system that is used to target a tumor inside the head. Once the frame is attached, the physician then images the head, typically with a computed tomography, or CT, scan, to identify the tumor location relative to the frame. The physician then uses the acquired images to develop a treatment plan, and the patient receives treatment. The entire process usually lasts between four and eight hours.
Although frame-based radiosurgery represents an advancement in cancer treatment, it has significant shortcomings. The necessity for a stereotactic frame to be screwed onto a patient's skull or affixed to the body restricts the area of the body which can be treated. In addition, frame-based radiosurgery systems do not generally succeed in conforming the radiation dose to the tumor, because beam orientations are limited, and therefore it is difficult to match the shape of the treated volume with the shape of the tumors. Further, because it is difficult to precisely reposition the head frame for multiple treatments, these systems are very rarely used when more than one dose of radiation is required. Frame-based radiosurgery approaches have been used for treatment of tumors in other parts of the body, but suffer from significant drawbacks. In particular, it is not practical to attach a frame rigidly to parts of the body other than the head. Tumors in soft tissue organs such as the lung, liver, pancreas and prostate are not rigidly fixed to any external reference points and can move significantly
53
during treatment due to normal bodily functions. Frame-based approaches to delivering radiosurgery for tumors in such locations are rarely as accurate as frame-based systems used to treat brain tumors. This lack of accuracy for tumors located outside the head may compromise the efficacy of traditional radiosurgery and increase the likelihood of delivering significant radiation doses to otherwise healthy tissue.
The CyberKnife System Solution
We have developed and commercialized the CyberKnife system, an intelligent robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat solid tumors throughout the body where radiation is indicated as an alternative to traditional surgery. The CyberKnife system combines continuous image-guidance technology with a compact linear accelerator mounted on a computer-controlled manipulator arm to precisely deliver high doses of radiation to a tumor from many different directions. Our system tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time during treatment and precisely delivers high doses of radiation to a tumor typically with sub-millimeter accuracy. Key benefits of the CyberKnife system include:
Treatment of inoperable or surgically complex tumors. The CyberKnife system can be used to target tumors that cannot be easily treated with traditional surgical techniques because of their location, number, size, shape or proximity to vital tissues or organs, or because of the age or health of the patient. The CyberKnife system's intelligent robotics are designed to enable the delivery of radiation doses that conform closely to the shape of the tumor. This enables the precise targeting of a tumor, while at the same time minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Treatments performed with the CyberKnife system can also be staged over two to five treatment sessions.
Treatment of tumors throughout the body. The CyberKnife system has been cleared by the FDA to provide treatment planning and image-guided radiosurgery for tumors anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. Unlike frame-based radiosurgery systems, which are generally limited to treating brain tumors, the CyberKnife system is being used for the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors outside the brain, including tumors on or near the spine and in the lung, liver, prostate and pancreas.
Real-time tracking of tumor movement. We believe the CyberKnife system is the first device that is designed to enable the treatment of tumors that may change position due to tumor and patient movement during treatment with a level of accuracy associated with radiosurgery procedures for brain tumors. In addition, our Synchrony motion tracking system enables highly accurate treatment of tumors that move with respiration.
Significant patient benefits. Patients may be treated with the CyberKnife system on an outpatient basis without anesthesia and without the risks and complications inherent in traditional surgery. The CyberKnife procedure is well tolerated. Patients do not require substantial pre-treatment preparation, and typically there is little to no recovery time or hospital stay associated with the CyberKnife procedure. In addition, the CyberKnife system eliminates the need for an invasive stereotactic frame to be screwed onto the patient's skull or affixed to other parts of the body.
Facilitates additional revenue generation through increased patient volumes. We believe that the CyberKnife system allows our customers to effectively treat patients that otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or who may not have been good candidates for surgery. Therefore, we believe the treatment of these patients generates additional revenue without affecting our customers' traditional radiation therapy practices. In addition, because the CyberKnife treatment is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure requiring little or no recovery time, hospitals can treat more patients than through traditional surgery. In traditional surgery, the time a patient must be at the facility for the procedure and the recovery time tend to be measured in days. With the CyberKnife system, the entire
54
procedure is generally completed within 90 minutes, and the patient often leaves the facility very shortly after treatment. Even if the patient receives four to five treatments, the total time the patient is at the hospital or treatment center is still shorter than with traditional surgery. Furthermore, the additional time the patient must be at the hospital, the more resources the hospital must dedicate to the patient. The reduction in overall time and resources required for the CyberKnife procedure, when compared to traditional surgery, leads to an increase in the volume of procedures performed and lower per procedure costs for the hospital. The combination of incremental revenue generation and lower per procedure cost makes the CyberKnife system an attractive addition to our customers' cancer treatment practice.
Upgradeable modular design. Our CyberKnife system has a modular design which facilitates the implementation of upgrades without requiring our customers to purchase an entirely new system. We have a well-established track record of developing and delivering state-of-the-art upgrades to our customers, enabling our customers to take advantage of the continued evolution of our CyberKnife system. We continue to develop and offer new clinical capabilities enhancing ease of use, reducing treatment times, improving accuracy and improving patient access.
Our Strategy
Our goal is to have the CyberKnife system become the standard of care for the treatment of solid tumors, particularly those that are difficult to treat with traditional surgery. We believe our technology can significantly enhance the applications of radiosurgery by increasing the number and type of tumors which can be treated effectively. Key elements of our strategy include the following:
Increase physician adoption and patient awareness to drive utilization. We are continually working to increase adoption and awareness of our CyberKnife system and demonstrate its advantages over traditional treatment methods. We intend to increase the number of worldwide sales and marketing personnel in order to increase sales and drive utilization of the CyberKnife system. In addition, we will continue to hold and sponsor symposia and educational meetings and to support clinical studies in an effort to demonstrate the clinical benefits of the CyberKnife system. Finally, we will continue to assist our customers in increasing patient awareness in their communities by helping them develop marketing and educational campaigns.
Continue to expand the radiosurgery market. While radiosurgery has traditionally been used to treat brain tumors, the CyberKnife system has received FDA clearance for and is increasingly being used to treat tumors anywhere in the body where radiation is indicated. Based on customer data, more than 50% of patients treated with the CyberKnife system in the United States during the three months ended September 30, 2006 were treated for tumors outside of the brain. We are facilitating studies to further demonstrate the CyberKnife system's efficacy for treating tumors outside of the brain, and we believe these studies will increase overall utilization of the CyberKnife system and continue to expand the number of patients eligible for radiosurgery. In addition, we are continuing to develop new upgrades to enable the CyberKnife system to be even better suited for treating tumors anywhere in the body where radiation is indicated.
Continue to innovate through clinical development and collaboration. The clinical success of the CyberKnife system is due in large part to the collaborative partnerships we have developed over the last decade with clinicians, researchers and patients. We proactively seek out and rely on constructive feedback from CyberKnife system users to learn what is needed to enhance the technology. Due to this collaborative process, we continually refine and upgrade the CyberKnife system, which ultimately improves our competitive position in the radiosurgery market. Our upgrades are designed to improve the ease of use and accuracy of treatment, decrease the treatment times, and improve the utilization for specific types of tumors. For example, in recent years, we introduced Synchrony, a motion tracking system that is designed to track tumors that move with patient respiration and the Xsight Spine
55
Tracking System, a new target tracking technology, which eliminates the need for surgical implantation of small, inert metal markers, known as fiducials, in the treatment of spinal tumors. In 2006, we introduced the Patient Archive and Restore System, the RoboCouch patient positioning system, the Xsight Lung Tracking System and the Xchange robotic collimator changer. We also maintain close relationships with our customers through our shared ownership programs and service plans. This further enables us to understand their needs and allows us to develop new technologies and upgrades that improve and expand clinical applications and drive increased utilization of our CyberKnife system.
Leverage our installed base to generate additional recurring revenue. We have designed the CyberKnife system so that customers may upgrade their previously purchased systems as we introduce new features. We generate additional revenue by selling multiyear service plans that provide eligibility to receive upgrades, when and if available. These contracts are typically signed at the time of CyberKnife system purchase and generate additional revenue throughout the life of the contract. In addition, we sell upgrades to our existing customers who are not covered by service plans or who have exhausted the upgrades deliverable pursuant to their service plans. Finally, we offer shared ownership programs, which enable customers to reduce the upfront investment required for the CyberKnife system in exchange for sharing a significant portion of revenue with us that is derived from each procedure.
Continue to expand international sales and geographic reach. We intend to increase our sales and distribution capabilities outside of the United States to take advantage of the large international opportunity for our products. We currently have regional offices in Paris, France and Hong Kong, China, and our sales and distribution channels cover more than 30 countries. We intend to increase our international revenue by increasing the number of distributors and direct sales and support personnel in targeted new international markets, and by further penetrating our established international markets.
Pursue acquisitions, strategic partnerships and joint ventures. We intend to actively pursue acquisitions, strategic partnerships and joint ventures that we believe may allow us to complement our growth strategy, increase market share in our current markets and expand into adjacent markets, broaden our technology and intellectual property and strengthen our relationships with our customers.
The CyberKnife System
Our principal product is the CyberKnife system, an intelligent robotic radiosurgery system that enables the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body where radiation is indicated without the need for invasive surgery or stereotactic frames. The current list price for the CyberKnife system is approximately $4.1 million, which includes initial training, installation and a one-year warranty. We also offer optional hardware and software, technical enhancements and upgrades to the CyberKnife system, as well as service contracts and training to assist customers in realizing the full benefits of the CyberKnife system. As of September 30, 2006, we had 83 units installed at customer sites: 52 in the United States, 10 of which are pursuant to our shared ownership programs, 24 in Asia and 7 in Europe. In addition as of September 30, 2006, we had 78 CyberKnife systems pending installation, 12 of which will be placed pursuant to our shared ownership programs.
The CyberKnife system combines continuous image-guidance technology with a compact linear accelerator mounted on a computer-controlled manipulator arm to precisely deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor from numerous directions during treatment. Our patented image-guidance technology correlates low dose, real-time treatment X-rays with previously taken CT images of the tumor and surrounding tissue to precisely direct each beam of radiation. This enables delivery of a highly conformal, non-isocentric dose of radiation to the tumor, with minimal radiation delivered to surrounding healthy tissue. With its autonomous ability to track, detect and correct for even the slightest tumor and patient movement throughout the entire treatment, the CyberKnife system gives clinicians an effective, uninterrupted and accurate treatment alternative.
56
Key components and technologies of the CyberKnife system include the following:
Compact X-band linear accelerator. This compact linac generates the radiation that destroys the tumor. We believe we are the only commercial manufacturer of a compact X-band linac. This technology allows us to manufacture linacs that are smaller and weigh significantly less than standard medical linacs used in radiation therapy while achieving similar performance. Our linac can provide high energy X-ray beams of different diameters and intensities without the use of radioactive material.
Robotic manipulator. The manipulator arm, with six-degrees-of-freedom range of movement, is designed to move and direct the linac with an extremely high level of precision and repeatability. The manipulator arm allows doses of radiation to be delivered from nearly any direction and position, without the limitations of gantry-based systems, creating a non-isocentric composite dose pattern that can precisely conform to the shape of each treated tumor. This flexibility enhances the ability to diversify beam trajectories and beam entrance and exit points, helping to minimize risks of dose toxicity. Furthermore, the rapid response time of the manipulator arm allows tracking of tumors that move with respiration in real-time.
Real-time image-guidance system with continuous target tracking and feedback. Without the need for clinician intervention or treatment interruption, the CyberKnife system's revolutionary real-time image-guided robotics enables the CyberKnife system to continuously monitor and correct for patient and tumor movements throughout treatment. The CyberKnife system is able to provide the precise delivery of radiation because of the virtually instantaneous and continuous feedback loop between X-ray-based target localization and automatic correction of the radiation beam throughout the entire treatment. This target tracking and feedback technology uses two digital image detectors to capture low energy X-ray images. The image guidance software carries out an automated comparison of the X-ray images with the patient's CT scan to detect, track and correct for any movement of the tumor or patient before and during the treatment delivery. This allows the CyberKnife system to dynamically target the tumor and adjust the position of the beam to follow the motion of the tumor throughout the treatment, directing the beam to precisely match tumor movement.
X-ray sources. The low-energy X-ray sources generate orthogonal X-ray images to determine the location of bony landmarks or implanted fiducials throughout the entire treatment.
Image detectors. The image detectors capture high-resolution anatomical images throughout the treatment. These live images are continually compared to previously captured digitally reconstructed radiographs to determine real-time patient positioning. Based on this information, the robotic manipulator instantly corrects for any detected movement. In October 2005, we introduced larger, in-floor X-ray image detectors, which provide greater treatment access.
In addition to the key components listed above, we also offer the following components and features, several of which have been introduced as upgrades since 2004, including:
Synchrony respiratory tracking system. The CyberKnife system employs a proprietary motion tracking system called Synchrony, for targeting tumors that move during respiration. Synchrony software and hardware correlate tumor movement due to respiration with the CyberKnife system treatment beam allowing it to continuously track the tumor as it moves throughout the respiratory cycle. Through this process the CyberKnife system delivers beams synchronized in real-time to tumor position while adapting to changes in breathing patterns, allowing for the delivery of highly conformal radiation with reduced treatment margins and unprecedented clinical accuracy of approximately 1.5 millimeters.
Xsight Spine Tracking System. For most extracranial tumors, the CyberKnife system uses implanted fiducials to track the position of the tumor throughout treatment. However, the Xsight Spine Tracking System eliminates the need for surgical implantation of fiducials in the delivery of radiosurgery treatments on or near the spine. The Xsight Spine Tracking System utilizes skeletal structures to
57
automatically locate and track tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy. We believe no other commercially available technology today offers this capability.
RoboCouch patient positioning system. Fully integrated with the CyberKnife system, the RoboCouch intelligently positions the patient to the planned treatment position with unprecedented accuracy, providing not only greater set up precision, but significantly streamlining the patient set up process. The versatility of the RoboCouch allows for automated patient positioning prior to treatment. Additionally, the RoboCouch offers greater positioning flexibility, a lower patient loading height, and a higher patient weight capacity limit when compared to our AXUM treatment couch.
Xsight Lung Tracking System. The Xsight Lung Tracking System delivers radiosurgical accuracy to some lung tumors without the need for implanted fiducials. The Xsight Lung Tracking System directly tracks the anatomy of the tumor. Integrated with the Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System, treatment margins are significantly minimized by tracking the motion of the tumor as it moves in respiration.
Xchange robotic collimator changer. The Xchange robotic collimator changer automatically exchanges secondary collimators, which determine the radiation beam size, during the treatment. The use of multiple collimators can enable faster treatments than the use of a single collimator.
In-Room CT System. The In-Room CT System enables diagnostic quality 3D and 4D patient imaging just prior to treatment. Combined with the RoboCouch patient positioning system, the In-Room CT System provides a smooth and efficient scan-to-treatment transition without having to re-enter the treatment room or manually move the patient.
4D Treatment Optimization and Planning System. Our 4D Treatment Optimization and Planning System optimizes treatment by taking into account the movement of the tumor as well as the movement and deformation of the surrounding tissue, thereby minimizing margins and radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
MultiPlan treatment planning system. Our proprietary intuitive planning system called MultiPlan is designed for radiosurgery and includes a standard computer workstation. MultiPlan calculates a treatment plan that produces a pattern of radiation designed to conform to the tumor. The MultiPlan system uses input images from multiple modalities, including computed tomography, or CT, magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, positron emission tomography, or PET, and 3D angiography. After the physician outlines a tumor and critical adjacent tissues on the computer, a radiation scientist uses the MultiPlan system to plan the number, intensity, position and direction of radiation beams. Using unique and patented software algorithms, the system calculates and displays the resultant treatment plan for evaluation, optimization and approval by the physician.
Patient Archive and Restore System. The Patient Archive and Restore System increases utilization by moving the archive and restore processes from the treatment delivery workstation to an independent archiving system.
InView remote review system. The CyberKnife system employs a remote review workstation to allow referring physicians to participate in the treatment process, called InView. InView allows physicians to fuse and contour diagnostic images as well as review potential treatment plans as generated by MultiPlan prior to the CyberKnife procedure. By placing InView in physician offices or clinics, we believe that we can expand the number of patients referred for treatment using the CyberKnife system.
58
AXUM treatment couch. AXUM is a computer-controlled treatment couch integrated with the image- guidance system that automatically aligns the patient for treatment at the beginning of the procedure. AXUM moves the treatment couch to position the patient so that the tumor is in the center of the imaging field. When the tumor is correctly positioned, treatment begins and the CyberKnife system tracking software guides the radiation beams to the precise tumor location.
CyberKnife System Clinical Workflow
The CyberKnife procedure involves scanning, planning, treatment and follow-up, and may be performed on an outpatient basis.
Scanning. Prior to treatment with the CyberKnife system, the patient undergoes imaging procedures to determine the size, shape and location of the tumor. The process begins with a standard high-resolution CT scan. Preparation for the scan may also include the placement of fiducials, in or around the tumor when treating tumors outside the brain. For certain tumors, such as brain and spinal tumors, where greater differentiation between different types of soft tissue is required, other imaging techniques, such as MRI, angiography, or PET, may also be used to more accurately differentiate the tumor from surrounding healthy tissue. Our software helps integrate CT scans and other imaging data into the pre-treatment planning process.
Planning. Following the scanning, the image data is then digitally transferred to the CyberKnife system's treatment planning workstation, where the treating physician identifies the exact size, shape and location of the tumor to be targeted and the surrounding vital structures to be avoided. A qualified physician and/or radiation scientist or physicist then uses our proprietary software to generate a treatment plan to provide the desired radiation dose to the identified tumor location without exceeding the tolerance of adjacent healthy tissue. As part of the treatment plan, our proprietary planning software automatically determines the number, duration and angles of delivery of the radiation beams.
Treatment. During a CyberKnife procedure, a patient lies on the treatment table, which automatically positions the patient. Anesthesia is not required, as the procedure is painless and non-invasive. The treatment, which generally lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, typically involves the administration of between 100 and 200 radiation beams delivered from different directions, each lasting from 10 to 15 seconds. Prior to the delivery of each beam of radiation, the CyberKnife system has the ability to simultaneously take a pair of X-ray images and compare them to the original CT scan. This image guided approach continuously tracks, detects and corrects for any movement of the patient and tumor throughout the treatment to ensure precise targeting. The patient usually leaves the facility immediately upon completion of the procedure.
Follow-up. Follow-up imaging, generally with either CT or MRI, is usually performed in the weeks and months following the treatment to confirm the destruction and eventual elimination of the treated tumor.
Shared Ownership Programs and Other Services
We provide a variety of services to support the operation and use of our CyberKnife systems. We expect that these services will enable us to generate a recurring revenue stream that will continue to make up an important portion of our revenue.
CyberKnife System Shared Ownership Programs
We offer shared ownership programs under which we provide a CyberKnife system to a customer while retaining ownership of that system. In addition, we provide physician training, educational support, general reimbursement guidance and technical support, as well as possible future upgrades to customers under this program. In return, these customers are generally required to pay us the greater
59
of a minimum payment or a portion of the revenue generated through the use of the CyberKnife system. Generally, this minimum monthly payment is equivalent to the revenue generated from treating three to four patients per month, and any revenue received from additional patients is shared between us and the customer. Customers who participate in our shared ownership programs are responsible for costs associated with facility preparation and professional and administrative personnel required to operate the CyberKnife system. Our legacy shared ownership programs were known as our placement programs.
The shared ownership programs typically have a term of five years, during which the customer has the option to purchase the system at pre-determined prices. As of September 30, 2006, we had entered into 22 shared ownership programs, of which 10 are installed and 12 are pending installation.
Warranty and Support Services
We provide a one-year warranty on the purchase of the CyberKnife system. In addition, for a fee that is fixed at the time of purchase, customers can enroll in one of our multiyear service plans:
Diamond Elite multiyear service plan. Under our Diamond Elite multiyear service plan, or Diamond plan, our customers have the opportunity to acquire up to two unspecified future upgrades per year, when and if they become available. If we offer more than two upgrades a year, customers can exchange their right to receive future upgrades for the current upgrades available. The Diamond plan currently lists in the United States for $460,000 per year, and provides for annual renewals for four years.
Ruby multiyear service plan. Under our Ruby multiyear service plan, or Ruby plan, customers outside the United States have the opportunity to acquire up to two unspecified future software upgrades per year when and if they become available. The Ruby multiyear service plan currently lists for $380,000 per year and provides for annual renewals for four years.
Basic and Emerald multiyear service plans. We also offer a basic multiyear service plan, and our Emerald multiyear service plan, or Emerald plan, following the initial one-year warranty period. Under our Emerald plan, customers receive a higher level of support, including a faster response time and coverage for all replacement parts. The current annual prices of our basic and Emerald service plans are $220,000 and $275,000, respectively.
Legacy multiyear service plans. Prior to November 2005, we offered our Platinum multiyear service plan, or Platinum plan, to customers in the United States and our Gold Elite multiyear service plan, or Gold plan, to customers outside the United States. While these plans are no longer offered, as of September 30, 2006 we were still servicing approximately 29 customers pursuant to Platinum plans and approximately 16 customers through our distributors pursuant to Gold plans. These multiyear service plans typically provide for annual renewals for four years, including the one-year warranty period.
Under our Platinum plan, in addition to technical support, customers have the opportunity to acquire at least two future upgrades per year for a maximum of eight upgrades over the three or four year term of the arrangement, for an annual fee of approximately $425,000. If we do not offer at least two upgrades per year, the customer would be entitled to a refund of $100,000 for each upgrade not offered. To date no refunds have been required or are due pursuant to these multiyear service plans.
Under our Gold plan, customers typically have the opportunity to acquire up to two unspecified future software upgrades per year, for an annual fee of $350,000. If we do not offer an upgrade in any particular year, the customer would be entitled to a refund of $100,000 for each upgrade not offered, except in Japan. Pursuant to the Gold plan customers are required to pay for additional hardware if required for the implementation of new software features.
60
Installation and service. We perform the installation and service of the CyberKnife system in the United States and in selected countries outside the United States. In addition, we have trained third-party service organizations and trained our distributors in Korea and Italy to perform the CyberKnife system installation and service. We employ service engineers and technical staff with a high degree of expertise, which is required due to the complexity of the CyberKnife system. As of September 30, 2006, we had 65 engineers, technicians and support personnel in our installations, service and support group. We intend to increase the number of our installation and service personnel as our sales increase.
Training. In addition to the training we offer with the initial installation of the CyberKnife system and the training required when an upgrade is installed, we offer various training sessions for our customers or our distributors for an additional fee.
Sales and Marketing
We currently market the CyberKnife system through a direct sales force in the United States and a combination of direct sales personnel and distributors in the rest of the world. Support of our international sales is handled through our European and Asian headquarters in Paris, France and in Hong Kong, China. As of September 30, 2006, we had a total of 94 employees in our worldwide sales and marketing group compared to 50 as of June 30, 2005. We expect to continue to increase the number of sales and marketing personnel as we expand our business.
In the United States we use a combination of sales directors, sales specialists, customer account sales executives, product managers, account managers and training specialists. Sales directors and sales specialists are responsible for selling the CyberKnife system to hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities. Customer account sales executives sell upgrade products to existing customers. Our product managers help market our current products and work with our engineering group to identify and develop upgrades and enhancements for the CyberKnife system. Our account managers are primarily responsible for supporting the CyberKnife systems with marketing and education after installation is completed. Our training specialists train radiation oncologists, surgeons, physicists and radiation therapists.
In addition to marketing to hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities, we market to radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, general surgeons, oncology specialists and other referring physicians. We will continue to increase our focus on marketing and education efforts to surgical specialists and oncologists responsible for treating tumors throughout the body. Our marketing activities also include efforts to inform and educate cancer patients about the benefits of the CyberKnife system.
According to the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, or ASTRO, as of 2004 there were approximately 2,010 hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities in the United States providing radiation therapy services. There are a total of 5,756 hospitals in the United States registered with the American Hospital Organization as of 2004. Our sales and marketing strategy is to target the hospitals and treatment facilities currently providing radiation therapy services, however, in the future we believe that the CyberKnife system will be marketed to hospitals that do not have radiation therapy facilities. In addition, we believe that free-standing cancer centers present a future opportunity to market the CyberKnife system within the United States.
Manufacturing and Assembly
We purchase major components of the CyberKnife system, including the robotic manipulator, treatment table, magnetron, imaging cameras and computers, from outside suppliers. We manufacture certain other electronic and electrical subsystems, including the linac, at our Sunnyvale, California facility. We then assemble and integrate these components with our proprietary software for treatment planning and treatment delivery and perform essential testing prior to shipment to customer sites.
61
Approximately 50,000 square feet in our Sunnyvale facilities are presently dedicated to these manufacturing and assembly activities.
In January 2005, we acquired American Science and Engineering's, or AS&E, High Energy Systems, or HES, business for $8.4 million. This acquisition provided us with the sole ownership of the intellectual property associated with our X-band linac, trade secrets and know-how used in the manufacturing process and included the hiring of key technologists previously employed by AS&E. HES had been the sole source manufacturer of the linac used in the CyberKnife system.
Single source suppliers presently provide us with several components, including the magnetron, the treatment couches and the imaging plates. In most cases, if a supplier were unable to deliver these components, we believe that we would be able to find other sources for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required. In the event of a disruption in any of these suppliers' ability to deliver a component, we would need to secure a replacement supplier. Additionally, any disruption or interruption of the supply of key subsystems could result in increased costs and delays in deliveries of CyberKnife systems, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
Intellectual Property
The proprietary nature of, and protection for, our products, product components, processes and know-how are important to our business. We seek patent protection in the United States and internationally for our product systems and other technology where available and when appropriate. Our policy is to patent or in-license the technology, inventions and improvements that we consider important to the development of our business. In addition, we use license agreements to selectively convey rights to our intellectual property to others. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position.
As of October 31, 2006, we hold 10 U.S. patents, 3 allowed U.S. patent applications, 56 pending U.S. patent applications, and are pursuing additional U.S. patent applications on additional key inventions to enhance our intellectual property rights. The first of our patents will expire in 2010 and currently the last of our patents will expire in 2026. As of October 31, 2006, we also hold 21 foreign patents, 14 pending published PCT application and 23 foreign patent applications which correspond to our issued U.S. patents and pending U.S. patent applications. We cannot be sure that any patents will issue from any of our pending patent applications, nor can we assure you that any of our existing patents or any patents that may be granted to us in the future will be commercially useful in protecting our technology. An additional key component of our intellectual property is our proprietary software used in planning and delivering the CyberKnife system's therapeutic radiation dose. Through the HES acquisition, we acquired certain intellectual property rights for the compact linac used in current versions of the CyberKnife system.
In addition to our patents, we also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, copyright protection and continuing technological and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position. We require our employees, consultants and outside scientific collaborators to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements upon commencing employment or consulting relationships with us.
Patents may provide some degree of protection for our intellectual property. However, patent protection involves complex legal and factual determinations and is therefore uncertain. In addition, the laws governing patentability and the scope of patent coverage continue to evolve, particularly in the areas of technology of interest to us. As a result, we cannot assure you that patents will issue from any of our patent applications. The scope of any of our issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to offer meaningful protection. In addition, our issued patents or patents licensed to us may be successfully challenged, invalidated, circumvented or unenforceable so that our patent rights would not create an effective competitive barrier. Moreover, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect
62
our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In view of these factors, our intellectual property positions bear some degree of uncertainty.
We have also entered into licensing agreements with third parties relating to rights and technologies. On January 30, 1991, we entered into a Manufacturing License and Technology Transfer Agreement with Schonberg Radiation Corporation under which Schonberg granted us a perpetual exclusive license to use and manufacture products utilizing some of Schonberg's patent and other intellectual property rights relating to the design, engineering and manufacturing of the compact linacs that may be used in the CyberKnife system for medical applications.
In December 2004 and in connection with the HES acquisition, we entered into a license agreement with AS&E relating to the intellectual property we obtained from the HES acquisition. We granted AS&E an exclusive, worldwide, fully paid license for use of the purchased intellectual property in the national security and non-destructive testing markets, as well as a non-exclusive worldwide, fully paid license of the intellectual property for all uses other than (a) the national security and non-destructive testing markets and (b) medical use or applications. In addition, we received an exclusive, worldwide, fully paid license to any modifications, improvements, enhancements or new developments to the acquired intellectual property by AS&E which are limited to medical uses or applications. We recently began the development of a next-generation linac, using technology developed independently from the intellectual property we obtained from the HES acquisition. We are developing this technology for medical uses and applications and other markets, including national security and non-destructive testing. In October 2006, we received a letter from AS&E expressing concerns that we may be using the intellectual property obtained from the HES acquisition in a manner that breaches, or may intend to breach, our contractual obligations under the license agreement. While we do not believe our activities breach or violate the terms of the license agreement, we cannot assure you that AS&E will not assert that we are breaching our obligations under our license agreement with them.
On July 9, 1997, we entered into a license agreement with The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University for technology and patents to develop, manufacture, use and sell products utilizing feature matching image registration techniques for radiosurgery.
Although we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings relating to our intellectual property, in the future, third parties may file claims asserting that our technologies or products infringe on their intellectual property. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert these claims against us or against the licensors of technology licensed to us, or whether those claims will harm our business. If we are forced to defend against these claims, whether they are with or without any merit, whether they are resolved in favor of or against us or our licensors, we may face costly litigation and diversion of management's attention and resources. As a result of these disputes, we may have to develop costly non-infringing technology, or enter into licensing agreements. These agreements, if necessary, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to us, if at all, which could seriously harm our business or financial condition.
Research and Development
Continued innovation is critical to our future success. Our current product development activities include projects expanding clinical applications in radiosurgery, driving product differentiation, and continually improving the CyberKnife system's capabilities. Some of our product upgrades include AXUM, Express, Synchrony, Xsight Spine Tracking System, InView, MultiPlan and RoboCouch. Research activities strive to enable new product development opportunities by developing new technologies and advancing areas of existing core technology such as a next generation linac.
The modular design of our products supports rapid development for new clinical capabilities and performance enhancements by generally allowing each subsystem to evolve within the overall platform design. Access to regular product upgrades protects customer investment in the CyberKnife system,
63
facilitates the rapid adoption of new features and capabilities among existing installed base customers, and drives increasing value in our multiyear service plans. These upgrades will generally consist of software and hardware enhancements designed to increase the ease of use of our CyberKnife system and improve the speed and accuracy of treatment.
As of September 30, 2006, we had 96 employees in our research and development departments. Research and development expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006 were $7.3 million, $11.7 million and $17.8 million, respectively. We plan to continue to increase our investment in research and development in future periods.
Competition
The medical device industry in general, and the non-invasive cancer treatment field in particular, are subject to intense and increasing competition and rapidly evolving technologies. Because our products often have long development and government approval cycles, we must anticipate changes in the marketplace and the direction of technological innovation and customer demands. To compete successfully, we will need to continue to demonstrate the advantages of our products and technologies over well-established alternative procedures, products and technologies, and convince physicians and other healthcare decision makers of the advantages of our products and technologies. Traditional surgery, minimally invasive procedures, radiation therapy chemotherapy and other drugs are other means to treat cancer. Also, we compete directly with frame-based radiosurgery systems primarily from Elekta AB (publ), or Elekta, BrainLAB AG, and the Integra Radionics business of Integra Life Sciences Holding Corporation.
The market for standard linacs is dominated by three companies: Elekta, Siemens AG, or Siemens, and Varian Medical Systems, Inc., or Varian. In addition, a new entrant, TomoTherapy Incorporated, or TomoTherapy, recently introduced a radiation therapy product. The CyberKnife system does not perform radiotherapy and generally does not compete directly with standard medical linacs that perform traditional radiotherapy, although some manufacturers of standard accelerator systems, including Varian and Elekta, claim some radiosurgery capabilities by using their radiation therapy products with body and or head frame systems and image-guidance systems. In addition, many government, academic and business entities are investing substantial resources in research and development of cancer treatments, including surgical approaches, radiation treatment, drug treatment, gene therapy and other approaches. Successful developments that result in new approaches for the treatment of cancer could reduce the attractiveness of our products or render them obsolete.
Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to establish and maintain a competitive position in current and future technologies. Rapid technological development may render the CyberKnife system and its technologies obsolete. Many of our competitors have or may have greater corporate, financial, operational, sales and marketing resources, and more experience in research and development than we have. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies or products that are more effective or commercially attractive than our products or that would render our technologies and products obsolete. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise, marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully in the future. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a competitive position with our technologies.
Our competitive position also depends on:
64
Reimbursement
In the United States, healthcare providers generally rely on third-party payors, principally private insurers and governmental payors such as Medicare and Medicaid, to cover and reimburse all or part of the cost of a medical procedure performed with a medical device. Our ability to commercialize our products successfully depends in significant part on the extent to which appropriate coverage and reimbursement for our products and related procedures are obtained from third-party payors. We cannot assure you that government or private third-party payors will cover and reimburse the procedures using our technology in whole or in part in the future or that payment rates will be adequate.
Medicare coverage and reimbursement policies are particularly significant to our business. Not only is Medicare the single largest third-party payor, but many other governmental and commercial payors follow its coverage and reimbursement policies. The Medicare coverage and reimbursement policies are developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, the federal agency responsible for administering the Medicare program and its contractors. Medicare reimbursement rates for the same or similar procedures vary due to geographic location, nature of the facility in which the procedure is performed (e.g., teaching or community hospital) and other factors.
Medicare coverage for procedures using our technology currently exists in the hospital outpatient setting and in the free-standing clinic setting. For hospital outpatient procedures, where currently the vast majority of procedures using our CyberKnife system are performed, Medicare payments generally are made under a prospective payment system, which is based on the Ambulatory Payment Classifications, or APCs, under which procedures are categorized.
CMS assigns procedures that are comparable clinically and in terms of resources to the same APC. Hospitals are paid the applicable APC payment rate for the outpatient procedure, regardless of the actual cost for such treatment. CMS will frequently categorize a procedure or service in a new technology APC where the procedure does not have sufficient claims data to be placed in an existing APC that is appropriate in terms of clinical characteristics and resource costs. Once CMS has collected sufficient claims data on the procedure being paid under a new technology APC, the agency will assign the procedure to an existing APC group. Procedures generally are reimbursed under new technology APCs for two to three years. Beginning in 2004, both planning and treatment using our CyberKnife
65
system were assigned to new technology APCs. Medicare accomplished this through certain temporary billing codes: Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, or HCPCS, code G0338 ("Linear- accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery planning"), HCPCS code G0339 ("Image-guided robotic linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery, complete course of therapy in one session, or first session of fractionated treatment") for the first or single treatment, and HCPCS code G0340 ("Image-guided robotic linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery, delivery including collimator changes and custom plugging, fractionated treatment, all lesions, per session, second through fifth sessions, maximum five sessions per course of treatment") for any subsequent treatments.
For 2006, CMS determined that planning for stereotactic radiosurgery procedures using our technology should be reported using several Category I Current Procedure Terminology, or CPT, codes. The CPT planning codes are assigned to clinical APCs with payment levels that resulted in a slight increase in payment in 2006 and 2007 as compared to prior years.
For 2004 to 2006, placement of HCPCS codes G0339 and G0340 in the new technology APCs resulted in a national payment rate of $5,250 for the first treatment and $3,750 for each treatment thereafter, up to a maximum of five treatments. For the 2007 calendar year, CMS has determined that procedures performed in the hospital outpatient department using our technology be transitioned from the new technology APCs to two clinical APCs. Under the finalized payment rules, the national payment rate for procedures billed using HCPCS code G0339 will be paid $3,896, and procedures billed under HCPCS code G0340 will be paid $2,645. These changes in APC assignment result in a decrease in payment as compared to previous years and could have a material adverse impact on our sales and utilization of our technology.
Medicare payment to free-standing clinics generally is based on the physician fee schedule. There are no national payment rates for HCPCS codes G0339 and G0340, and Medicare contractors determine the payment rates for their jurisdiction. We understand that some Medicare contractors may require the use of other billing codes for the procedures.
In addition to Medicare reimbursement to hospitals and clinics, physicians receive reimbursement for their professional services in the hospital outpatient setting and the free-standing clinic setting. Payment is based on the physician fee schedule, and payment amounts are updated on an annual basis. Beginning 2007, CMS changed how it determines payment levels under the physician fee schedule. Specifically, CMS revised the methodology for calculating the physician work component, which reflects physician time and intensity of effort in performing a procedure or service. The CMS also changed its methodology for calculating the practice expense component, which reflects the overhead expenses that a physician incurs, such as rent, equipment and salaries. With these changes, we expect a slight change in reimbursement for physician professional services performed in connection with the CyberKnife procedure. At this time, we cannot predict the full impact of these changes on the Company's operations.
We also cannot assure you that Medicare will continue to cover and reimburse the procedures using the CyberKnife system, or that the amounts reimbursed under applicable codes will be adequate. While private third-party payors frequently follow Medicare coverage, coding and payment determinations, we cannot assure you that these payors will adopt coverage and reimbursement policies similar to those established by Medicare or whether they will cover and reimburse the procedures using CyberKnife systems in whole or in part. In the United States, we believe that a majority of private healthcare payors provide coverage for CyberKnife procedures under negotiated contracts with hospitals and clinics.
Effective January 1, 2007, the American Medical Association, or AMA, has established four new Category I CPT codes relating to stereotactic radiosurgery, scheduled to become effective January 1, 2007. Third-party payors may decide to use three of these codes to describe treatment (CPT codes 77372 and 77373) and treatment management (CPT code 77435) using our technology. CMS has
66
announced that these codes would not be used for our technology for Medicare payments for hospital outpatient services under the prospective payment system in 2007. These codes were assigned values for payments under the Medicare physician fee schedule for 2007 and may be required by Medicare contractors for use in other settings. At this time, the extent to which any of these codes would be required by Medicare contractors for services using our technology and performed in free-standing clinics or by other third-party payors is unclear. It is also unclear at this time whether the new codes will coexist with or replace the existing codes for treatment using our technology (HCPCS codes G0339 and G0340) and how the level of reimbursement would be impacted by the new codes. If the new codes are required by Medicare contractors for 2007, the reimbursement rates under the 2007 Medicare physician fee schedule could result in a material adverse effect on our business.
The current emphasis on cost-containment by third-party payors makes it exceedingly difficult for new medical devices and surgical procedures to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement. Often, it is necessary to convince these payors that the new devices or procedures will establish an overall cost savings compared to currently reimbursed devices and procedures. We believe that the CyberKnife system may offer an opportunity for payors to reduce the cost of treatment for solid tumors as compared with surgical removal; however, we cannot assure you that payors will agree that these advantages exist or that payors will make reimbursement decisions based upon any such advantages. Hospitals would be less likely to purchase our products if they do not receive sufficient levels of reimbursement. In addition, if physicians or hospital administrators believe that our system will add cost to a procedure but will not add sufficient offsetting economic or clinical benefits, physician adoption could be impaired. Any reduction or limitation in use of our products could cause our sales to suffer.
Reimbursement by third-party payors is often positively influenced by the existence of peer-reviewed publications of long-term safety and efficacy data. We have collected and published data on clinical results for patients that have undergone surgical procedures involving use of the CyberKnife system, although we do not yet have long-term safety and efficacy data for a significant patient population size. We cannot assure you that our products will continue to be covered and reimbursed without publication of additional data, including data supporting long-term safety and efficacy of the CyberKnife system.
We have hired a director of reimbursement and have established a dedicated reimbursement group that seeks to provide education to physicians and facilities in working with payors on coverage and reimbursement issues for procedures involving the use of the CyberKnife system. This group assists our customers in obtaining pre-approval from third-party payors for patients who will be undergoing treatment using the CyberKnife system, and provides our customers with copies of relevant coverage, coding and payment policies, including those of the Medicare program, as well as published literature and clinical data supporting clinical safety and efficacy in the device.
To further support adequate coverage and reimbursement, a group of customers has formally organized into a non-profit organization to pursue adequate reimbursement, coverage and payment of our product worldwide, with a strong emphasis on the United States. This group, the CyberKnife Coalition, has a charter to promote patient access to CyberKnife system technology and treatment, and realize adequate coverage and reimbursement to support that treatment. The Coalition seeks to assure and advocate that procedures using the CyberKnife system continue to be reimbursed at appropriate levels by Medicare and other third-party payors.
Internationally, reimbursement and healthcare payment systems vary substantially from country to country and include single-payor, government managed systems as well as systems in which private payors and government-managed systems exist side-by-side. Our ability to achieve market acceptance or significant sales volume in international markets we enter will be dependent in large part on the availability of reimbursement for procedures performed using our products under health care payment
67
systems in such markets. To date, healthcare providers in Europe have been able to successfully negotiate coverage contracts with their local payors at adequate payment rates.
Regulatory Matters
Domestic Regulation
Our products and software are medical devices subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, as well as other regulatory bodies. FDA regulations govern the following activities that we perform and will continue to perform to ensure that medical products distributed domestically or exported internationally are safe and effective for their intended uses:
FDA pre-market clearance and approval requirements. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we wish to commercially distribute in the United States will require either prior 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval from the FDA. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes. Devices deemed to pose lower risks are placed in either class I or II, which requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a pre-market notification requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. This process is generally known as 510(k) clearance. Some low risk devices are exempted from this requirement. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device, are placed in class III, requiring pre-market approval. All of our current products are class II devices.
510(k) clearance pathway. When a 510(k) clearance is required, we must submit a pre-market notification demonstrating that our proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet called for the submission of pre-market approval applications, or PMA. By regulation, the FDA is required to clear or deny a 510(k) pre-market notification within 90 days of submission of the application. As a practical matter, clearance may take longer. The FDA may require further information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence.
68
In July 1999, we received 510(k) clearance for the CyberKnife system for use in the head and neck regions of the body. In August, 2001, we received 510(k) clearance for the CyberKnife system to provide treatment planning and image guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. In April 2002, we received 510(k) clearance for the Synchrony Motion Tracking System as an option to the CyberKnife system, intended to enable dynamic image guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy of lesions, tumors and conditions that move under influence of respiration.
Pre-market approval (PMA) pathway. A PMA must be submitted to the FDA if the device cannot be cleared through the 510(k) process. A PMA must be supported by extensive data, including but not limited to, technical, preclinical, clinical trials, manufacturing and labeling to demonstrate to the FDA's satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device. No device that we have developed has required pre-market approval, nor do we currently expect that any future device or indication will require pre-market approval.
Product modifications. After a device receives 510(k) clearance or a PMA, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a significant change in its intended use, will require a new clearance or approval. We have modified aspects of our CyberKnife system family of products since receiving regulatory clearance, and we have applied for and obtained additional 510(k) clearances for these modifications when we determined such clearances were required for the modifications. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer's determination. If the FDA disagrees with our determination not to seek a new 510(k) clearance or PMA, the FDA may retroactively require us to seek 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval. The FDA could also require us to cease marketing and distribution and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval is obtained. Also, in these circumstances, we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties. From January 1, 2003 to September 30, 2006, we submitted an additional seven 510(k) clearances notifications for modifications made to the operation of the CyberKnife system. These applications were cleared by the FDA.
Pervasive and continuing regulation. After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include:
The FDA has broad post-market and regulatory enforcement powers. We are subject to unannounced inspections by the FDA and the Food and Drug Branch of the California Department of Health Services to determine our compliance with the QSR and other regulations, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of some of our subcontractors. In the past, our prior facility has been inspected, and observations were noted. In May 2004 and April 2006, during routine inspections performed by the FDA, two minor observations were made in each inspection. We have taken corrective action on the minor observations in response to the FDA's observations. There were no observations that involved a material violation of regulatory requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the QSR.
69
Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions:
The FDA also has the authority to require us to repair, replace or refund the cost of any medical device that we have manufactured or distributed. If any of these events were to occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Radiological health. Because our CyberKnife system contains both laser and X-ray components, and because we assemble these components during manufacturing and service activities, we are also regulated under the Electronic Product Radiation Control Provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This law requires laser and X-ray products to comply with regulations and applicable performance standards, and manufacturers of these products to certify in product labeling and reports to the FDA that their products comply with all such standards. The law also requires manufacturers to file new product reports, and to file annual reports and maintain manufacturing, testing and sales records, and report product defects. Various warning labels must be affixed. Assemblers of diagnostic X-ray systems are also required to certify in reports to the FDA, equipment purchasers, and where applicable, to state agencies responsible for radiation protection, that diagnostic and/or therapeutic X-ray systems they assemble meet applicable requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, which can include injunctions, civil penalties, and the issuance of warning letters. In the past, we failed to submit required reports to the FDA in a timely fashion. To correct our reporting deficiencies we initiated in 2003, a corrective action plan that included, among other things, filing all past due reports with the FDA, applicable state agencies, and customers. We have also developed and implemented procedures to ensure future reports are made in a timely manner. While we believe all past reporting deficiencies have been corrected, we cannot assure you that FDA will deem our corrective actions sufficient or that FDA will not initiate enforcement action against us.
Fraud and Abuse Laws
We are subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by significant criminal and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Because of the far-reaching nature of these laws, there can be no assurance that we would not be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws. Evolving interpretations of current laws, or the adoption of new federal or state laws or regulations could adversely affect many of the arrangements we have with customers and physicians. In addition, there can be no assurance that the occurrence of one or more violations of these laws or regulations would not result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Anti-kickback laws. Our operations are subject to broad and changing federal and state anti-kickback laws. The Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or the OIG, is primarily responsible for enforcing the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and
70
generally for identifying fraud and abuse activities affecting government programs. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute, prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration directly or indirectly to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending, or arranging of a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal health care program such as Medicare and Medicaid. "Remuneration" has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including such items as gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment, credit arrangements, waiver of payments, and providing anything of value at less than fair market value.
Penalties for violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute include criminal fines of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment for up to five years for each violation, civil fines of up to $50,000 and possible exclusion from participation in federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Many states have adopted prohibitions similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, some of which apply to the referral of patients for healthcare services reimbursed by any source, not only by the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and do not include comparable exceptions.
The Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG, has issued safe harbor regulations which set forth certain activities and business relationships that are deemed safe from prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. There are safe harbors for various types of arrangements, including, without limitation, certain investment interests, leases and personal services and management contracts. The failure of a particular activity to comply in all regards with the safe harbor regulations does not mean that the activity violates the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy each applicable safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the OIG.
The OIG has identified the following arrangements with purchasers and their agents as ones raising potential risk of violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute:
We have a variety of financial relationships with physicians who are in a position to generate business for us. For example, physicians own our stock who also provide medical advisory and other consulting and personal services. Similarly, we have a variety of different types of arrangements with our customers. For example, our placement and shared ownership programs entail the provision of our CyberKnife system to our customers under a deferred payment program, where we generally receive the greater of a fixed minimum payment or a portion of the revenues of services. Included in the fee we charge for the placement and shared ownership programs are a variety of services, including
71
physician training, educational and marketing support, general reimbursement guidance and technical support, and, in the case of the placement program, certain services and upgrades are provided without additional charge based on procedure volume. In the past, we have also provided loans to our customers. We also provide research grants to customers to support customer studies related to, among other things, our CyberKnife systems.
If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or similar government regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we or our officers may be subject to the applicable penalty associated with the violation, including significant civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The impact of any such violation may lead to curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, or curtailment or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risk of our being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that some of these laws are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management's attention from the operation of our business and damage our reputation. If an enforcement action were to occur, our reputation and our business and financial condition could be harmed, even if we were to prevail or settle the action. Similarly, if the physicians or other providers or entities with whom we do business are found to be non-compliant with applicable laws, they may be subject to sanctions, which could also have a negative impact on our business.
Physician self-referral laws. We are also subject to federal and state physician self-referral laws. The federal Ethics in Patient Referral Act of 1989, commonly known as the Stark Law, prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, physician referrals of Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity providing certain "designated health services" if the physician or an immediate family member has any financial relationship with the entity. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity receiving the referral from billing any good or service furnished pursuant to an unlawful referral.
A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law's referral prohibition may be fined up to $100,000 for each such arrangement or scheme. In addition, any person who presents or causes to be presented a claim to the Medicare or Medicaid programs in violation of the Stark Law is subject to civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per bill submission, an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed, and possible exclusion from federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Various states have corollary laws to the Stark Law, including laws that require physicians to disclose any financial interest they may have with a healthcare provider to their patients when referring patients to that provider. Both the scope and exceptions for such laws vary from state to state.
Federal False Claims Act. The federal False Claims Act prohibits the knowing filing or causing the filing of a false claim or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from the federal government. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it must pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim. Suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as "qui tam" actions, can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals, sometimes known as "relators" or, more commonly, as "whistleblowers", may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. In addition, certain states have enacted laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam actions have increased significantly in recent years, causing greater numbers of healthcare companies to have to defend a false claim action, pay fines or be excluded from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs as a result of an investigation arising out of such action. We have retained the services of a reimbursement consultant, for which we pay certain consulting fees, to provide us and facilities that have purchased a CyberKnife system or acquired a CyberKnife system through our shared ownership program with
72
general reimbursement advice. While we believe this will assist our customers in filing proper claims for reimbursement; and such consultants do not submit claims on behalf of our customers, the fact that we provide these consultant services could expose us to additional scrutiny and possible liability in the event one of our customers is investigated as a result of any of these laws.
HIPAA. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created two new federal crimes: healthcare fraud and false statements relating to healthcare matters. The healthcare fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from government sponsored programs. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines or imprisonment.
International Regulation
International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country. The time required to obtain clearance or approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and the requirements may be different.
The primary regulatory environment in Europe is that of the European Union and the three additional member states of the European Economic Area, or EEA, which have adopted similar laws and regulations with respect to medical devices. The European Union has adopted numerous directives and the European Committee for Standardization has promulgated standards regulating the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling and adverse event reporting for medical devices. Devices that comply with the requirements of the relevant directive will be entitled to bear CE conformity marking, indicating that the device conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable directives and, accordingly, may be commercially distributed throughout the member states of the European Economic Area.
The method of assessing conformity to applicable standards and directives depends on the type and class of the product, but normally involves a combination of self-assessment by the manufacturer and a third-party assessment by a notified body, an independent and neutral institution appointed by a European Union member state to conduct the conformity assessment. This relevant assessment may consist of an audit of the manufacturer's quality system (currently ISO 13485), provisions of the Medical Devices Directive, and specific testing of the manufacturer's device. In September 2002, our facility was awarded the ISO 13485 certification, which replaces the ISO 9001 and EN 46001 approvals, which has been subsequently maintained through periodic assessments, in accordance with the expiration dates of the standards, and we are currently authorized to affix the CE mark to our products, allowing us to sell our products throughout the European Economic Area.
We are also currently subject to regulations in Japan. A Japanese distributor received the first government approval to market the CyberKnife system from the Ministry of Health and Welfare in November 1996. In December, 2003, we received approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to market the CyberKnife system in Japan and a new distributor, Chiyoda Technol Corporation, was appointed to distribute the CyberKnife system. Current clinical use in Japan is limited to head and neck applications. Although we and our distributor have applied for approval of broader clinical use of the CyberKnife system in Japan, it is not possible to accurately predict the timing of this approval.
We are subject to additional regulations in other foreign countries, including, but not limited to, Canada, Taiwan, China and Korea, in order to sell our products. We intend that either we or our
73
distributors will receive any necessary approvals or clearance prior to marketing our products in those international markets.
State Certificate of Need Laws
In some states, a certificate of need or similar regulatory approval is required prior to the acquisition of high-cost capital items or the provision of new services. These laws generally require appropriate state agency determination of public need and approval prior to the acquisition of such capital items or addition of new services. Certificate of need regulations may preclude our customers from acquiring the CyberKnife system, whether through purchase or our shared ownership programs, and from performing stereotactic radiosurgery procedures using the CyberKnife system. Several of our prospective customers currently are involved in appeals of certificate of need determinations. If these appeals are not resolved in favor of these prospective customers, they may be precluded from purchasing and/or performing services using the CyberKnife system. Certificate of need laws are the subject of continuing legislative activity, and a significant increase in the number of states regulating the acquisition and use of the CyberKnife system through certificate of need or similar programs could adversely affect us.
Employees
As of September 30, 2006, we had 364 employees worldwide, including 96 in research and development, 94 in sales and marketing, 65 in installation and service, 49 in manufacturing, and 60 in administration. None of the employees is represented by a labor union or is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have never experienced any employment-related work stoppages and we believe our relationship with our employees is good.
Facilities
We lease approximately 176,000 square feet of product development, manufacturing and administrative space in three buildings in Sunnyvale, California, and approximately 25,000 square feet of development and manufacturing space in Mountain View, California. Our headquarters building, which is approximately 73,000 square feet, is leased to us until February 2008 and an additional office building, which is approximately 53,000 square feet, is leased to us until May 2010. Our manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale is approximately 50,000 square feet and is leased to us until July 2011. The Mountain View facility is leased to us until October 2010. We have the right to renew the term of our headquarters lease for one three-year term upon prior written notice and the fulfillment of certain conditions. We also maintain offices in France and China. We believe our current facilities are adequate to meet our current needs, but additional space, including additional radiation-shielded areas in which systems can be assembled and tested, will be required in the future to accommodate anticipated increases in manufacturing needs.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that there is no litigation pending that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Board Composition
Our board of directors may establish from time to time by resolution the authorized number of directors. Seven directors are currently authorized. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be in effect upon the closing of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change of control at our company.
Board Committees
Our board of directors has the following committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Upon the closing of this offering, our board will also have a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process. Among other matters, the audit committee evaluates the independent auditors' qualifications, independence and performance; determines the engagement of the independent auditors; reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit and the audit fee; discusses with management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the review of our quarterly consolidated financial statements; approves the retention of the independent auditors to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; monitors the rotation of partners of the independent auditors on the Accuray engagement team as required by law; reviews our critical accounting policies and estimates; oversees our internal audit function and annually reviews the audit committee charter and the committee's performance.

77
and Mr. Wu. All members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ.

Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee reviews and recommends policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers and employees. The compensation committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers, evaluates the performance of these officers in light of those goals and objectives, and sets the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations. The compensation committee also administers the issuance of stock options and other awards under our stock plans. The compensation committee will review and evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the compensation committee and its members, including compliance of the compensation committee with its charter. The current members of our compensation committee members are Mr. Young, Mr. Wu and Mr. Yu, with Mr. Yu serving as the chair of the committee. Each of the members of our compensation committee are independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, NASDAQ and the Internal Revenue Service.

In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for overseeing our corporate governance guidelines and reporting and making recommendations to our board concerning governance matters. We expect that the composition of our nominating and corporate governance committee will meet the criteria for independence under, and the functioning of our nominating and corporate governance committee will comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ.

Employment, Change of Control and Severance Agreements
Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D.
On November 10, 2006, we entered into an employment letter agreement with Dr. Thomson which amends and restates our prior employment letter agreement with him. Under the agreement, Dr. Thomson will serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides that he is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $420,000 and is eligible to participate in our executive bonus plan under which he may earn annual incentive bonuses targeted at 60% of his base salary based upon the attainment of performance criteria established and evaluated by our company. Subject to approval by our board and pursuant to our incentive award plan, our company has agreed to grant Dr. Thomson an option to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock not later than the first regularly scheduled meeting of our board of each calendar year during the period of his employment by our company. Each such option will be granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant and will vest in equal monthly installments over a 4-year period from the date of grant.
Under our letter agreement with Dr. Thomson, in the event of a termination of his employment by our company without "cause" or by Dr. Thomson for "good reason," as each term is defined in the agreement, Dr. Thomson will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of 12 months of his annual base salary then in effect, a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus for the year of such termination, plus 100% of his target annual bonus then in effect. In addition, in the event of such a termination of employment, Dr. Thomson's then outstanding stock options will become vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such termination to the extent they would have become vested during the 12-month period following the date of such termination had he remained employed by our company through such period, and our company will pay for 12 months of COBRA continuation coverage for Dr. Thomson and his eligible dependents if he elects such coverage upon such a termination. In the event of a change in control of our company (as defined in the employment letter) during the term of Dr. Thomson's employment, all of his then outstanding stock options will become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such change in control. If such a change in control occurs and Dr. Thomson's employment is terminated either (i) by our company without cause or by Dr. Thomson for good reason within twelve months following the change in control or (ii) by Dr. Thomson for any reason within the 30-day period immediately following the change in control, then in lieu of the severance payments and benefits described above, he will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of 18 months of his annual base salary then in effect, a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus for the year of such termination, plus 150% of his target annual bonus then in effect. In addition, our company will pay for 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage for Dr. Thomson and his eligible dependents if he elects such coverage. The foregoing benefits and payments may be subject to a delay of up to 6 months as necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if any payments or benefits payable to Dr. Thomson under the employment letter or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount will be subject to such excise tax, provided that such reduction will only occur if Dr. Thomson will be in a more favorable after-tax position than if no such reduction was made.
The employment letter also provides for certain restrictive covenants by Dr. Thomson, including a confidentiality covenant that will apply during his employment with our company and thereafter, a non-solicitation covenant for the duration of his employment and one year thereafter, and a non-competition covenant for the duration of his employment.

Robert E. McNamara

The agreement provides that he is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $275,000 and is eligible to participate in our executive bonus plan under which he may earn annual incentive bonuses targeted at 40% of his base salary based upon the attainment of performance criteria established and evaluated by our company.
Under our letter agreement with Mr. McNamara, in the event of a termination of his employment by our company without "cause" or by Mr. McNamara for "good reason," as each term is defined in the agreement, or if a change in control of our company (as defined in the employment letter) occurs and Mr. McNamara terminates his employment for any reason within the 30-day period immediately following such change in control, then Mr. McNamara will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of 12 months of his annual base salary then in effect, a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus for the year of such termination, plus 100% of his target annual bonus then in effect. In addition, our company will pay for 12 months of COBRA continuation coverage for Mr. McNamara and his eligible dependents if he elects such coverage upon such a termination. In the event of a termination of Mr. McNamara's employment by our company without cause or by Mr. McNamara for good reason prior to a change in control, Mr. McNamara's then outstanding stock options to purchase shares of our common stock will become vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such termination to the extent they would have become vested during the 12-month period following the date of such termination had he remained employed by our company through such period. In the event of a change in control of our company during the term of Mr. McNamara's employment, all of his then outstanding stock options will become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such change in control. The foregoing benefits and payments may be subject to a delay of up to 6 months as necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if any payments or benefits payable to Mr. McNamara under the employment letter or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount will be subject to such excise tax, provided that such reduction will only occur if Mr. McNamara will be in a more favorable after-tax position than if no such reduction was made.

Under our letter agreement with Mr. Raanes, in the event of a termination of his employment by our company without "cause" or by Mr. Raanes for "good reason," as each term is defined in the agreement, Mr. Raanes will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of 8 months of his annual base salary then in effect, a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus for the year of such termination, plus 662/3% of his target annual bonus then in effect. In addition, our
83
company will pay for 8 months of COBRA continuation coverage for Mr. Raanes and his eligible dependents if he elects such coverage upon such a termination. If a change in control of our company (as defined in the employment letter) occurs during the term of Mr. Raanes' employment and his employment is terminated by our company without cause or by Mr. Raanes for good reason, in each case within the 12-month period following the change in control, then in addition to the foregoing severance payments and benefits, all of Mr. Raanes' then outstanding stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock will become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such termination of employment. The foregoing benefits and payments may be subject to a delay of up to 6 months as necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if any payments or benefits payable to Mr. Raanes under the employment letter or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount will be subject to such excise tax, provided that such reduction will only occur if Mr. Raanes will be in a more favorable after-tax position than if no such reduction was made.
The employment letter also provides for certain restrictive covenants by Mr. Raanes, including a confidentiality covenant that will apply during his employment with our company and thereafter, a non-solicitation covenant for the duration of his employment and one year thereafter, and a non-competition covenant for the duration of his employment.

The foregoing benefits and payments may be subject to a delay of up to 6 months as necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if any payments or benefits payable to Mr. Lindquist under the employment letter or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount will be subject to such excise tax, provided that such reduction will only occur if Mr. Lindquist will be in a more favorable after-tax position than if no such reduction was made.

John W. Allison, Ph.D.
In July 2004, we entered into an offer letter agreement with Dr. Allison, our former Vice President, Engineering. Under the agreement Dr. Allison was entitled to receive an initial base salary of $205,000, subject to increase by our board, and was eligible to participate in our executive bonus arrangements under which Dr. Allison may earn incentive bonuses up to 40% of his base salary based upon achievement of objectives by our company and personal objectives set by our board. In addition, Dr. Allison received an additional one-time bonus of $20,000 paid after six months of full employment by us. Dr. Allison was granted an option to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Such options vest 25% upon the anniversary of Dr. Allison's commencement of employment with our company, 1/12 of the aggregate number of shares subject to the option vest monthly over the next 16 months, 1/2 of the aggregate number of shares subject to the option vest monthly over the next 24 months and 1/6 of the aggregate number of shares subject to the option vest monthly over the final nine months, such that all options are vested upon the fourth anniversary of Dr. Allison's commencement of employment with our company.
In March 2006, Dr. Allison ended his employment with our company under terms set forth in his separation agreement. Under this agreement, Dr. Allison was entitled to receive severance payments equal to six months of his base salary, two weeks of salary for every year employed and a lump sum payment of $35,000.
Wade B. Hampton
On November 10, 2006, we entered into an employment letter agreement with Mr. Hampton which amends and restates our prior employment letter agreement with him. Under the agreement, Mr. Hampton will serve as our Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales. The agreement provides that he is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $250,000 and is eligible to participate in our executive bonus plan under which he may earn annual incentive bonuses targeted at 75% of his base salary based upon the attainment of performance criteria established and evaluated by our company. In addition, pursuant to our incentive award plan and the terms of our prior employment letter agreement with him, our company has granted Mr. Hampton an option to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $10.00. The option will vest over a 4-year period from the date of commencement of Mr. Hampton's employment with our company, with 25% of the shares subject to the option vesting on the first anniversary of such date, and the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary thereafter. Our company has agreed to recommend to our board that our company grant Mr. Hampton an additional option no later than the September 30 following each of the first three anniversaries of Mr. Hampton's commencement of employment with our company to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock, with each such option to have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant and to vest in equal monthly installments over a 4-year period from the date of grant.
Under our letter agreement with Mr. Hampton, in the event of a termination of his employment by our company without "cause" or by Mr. Hampton for "good reason," as each term is defined in the agreement, Mr. Hampton will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of 6 months of his annual base salary then in effect, a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus for the year of such termination, plus 50% of his target annual bonus then in effect. In addition, our company will pay for six months of COBRA continuation coverage for Mr. Hampton and his eligible dependents if he elects such coverage upon such a termination. If a change in control of our company (as defined in the employment letter) occurs during the term of Mr. Hampton's employment and his
85
employment is terminated by our company without cause or by Mr. Hampton for good reason, in each case within the 12-month period following the change in control, then in addition to the foregoing severance payments and benefits, all of Mr. Hampton's then outstanding stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock will become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such termination of employment. The foregoing benefits and payments may be subject to a delay of up to six months as necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if any payments or benefits payable to Mr. Hampton under the employment letter or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount will be subject to such excise tax, provided that such reduction will only occur if Mr. Hampton will be in a more favorable after-tax position than if no such reduction was made.
The employment letter also provides for certain restrictive covenants by Mr. Hampton, including a confidentiality covenant that will apply during his employment with our company and thereafter, a non-solicitation covenant for the duration of his employment and one year thereafter, and a non-competition covenant for the duration of his employment.
Executive Officer Bonuses
In August 2006, our board of directors and our compensation committee approved 2007 bonuses for certain of our executive officers. Our board of directors designated for each executive officer a target bonus amount, expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary (60% for our chief executive officer, 40% for our senior vice presidents). Our executive officers are eligible to receive bonuses if certain individual and corporate performance criteria are achieved during the 2007 fiscal year, and such bonuses are payable in cash. Furthermore, executive officers are entitled to receive a discretionary bonus amount, which may be in addition to or subtracted from such officer's target bonus amount, also expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary (50% for our chief executive officer, 30% for our senior vice presidents). Bonus payments will be based on the compensation committee's evaluation of our achievement of corporate performance goals for 2007, which were determined by the compensation committee. The use of corporate performance goals is intended to establish a link between the executive's pay and our business performance. The individual performance of each of the executive officers during 2007 will be evaluated according to the achievement of individual performance goals, which were approved by the chief executive officer and the relevant vice presidents prior to the approval of the 2007 executive bonuses by our board of directors. The board of directors is responsible for approving any bonus payment to our chief executive officer pursuant to the 2007 executive bonuses and the compensation committee is responsible for approving any bonus payment to any other executive officer pursuant to the 2007 executive bonuses.
1993 Stock Option Plan
Our 1993 Stock Option Plan was adopted by our board in 1993. The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or awarded under the 1993 Stock Option Plan is 1,744,268 shares. As of June 30, 2006, options to purchase approximately 450,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding under this plan. We do not intend to grant any additional options under the 1993 Stock Option Plan after the completion of this offering. The following is a description of the material features and provisions of the 1993 Stock Option Plan as it relates to these outstanding options.
Stock Options
Under the 1993 Stock Option Plan, we may grant incentive stock options intended to qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code and non-qualified stock options. The term of options granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan may not exceed 10 years, except that in the case of
86
an incentive stock option granted to an individual who owns more than 10% of our stock, the term of such option may not exceed 5 years. The plan provides that the exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the plan may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock at the time of grant, and the exercise price of non-qualified stock options may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock at the time of grant. Options granted to an individual who owns more than 10% of our stock at the time of grant must have an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock at the time of grant. The 1993 Stock Option Plan provides that the vesting and exercisability period of options granted under the plan will be determined by the plan administrator and set forth in the stock option agreement evidencing the option grant. During the lifetime of the optionee, the option is exercisable only by the optionee. Options are not assignable or transferable by the optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Administration
The 1993 Stock Option Plan is administered by our board or a duly appointed committee of our board. Our board (or its committee) determines all questions of interpretation of the plan and any options granted under this plan, and such determinations are final and binding.
Eligibility
Under the terms of the 1993 Stock Option Plan, incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees (including officers and directors who were also employees) and employees of qualifying parent or subsidiary corporations. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, directors and individuals who render services as consultants, advisors or other independent contractors.
Adjustments/Change of Control
The 1993 Stock Option Plan provides that in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or like change in our capital structure, then equitable adjustments may be made to the number of shares and exercise prices of the remaining outstanding options. In addition, the plan provides that in the case of a transfer of control (as defined in the plan), the plan administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that any unexercisable and/or unvested portion of the outstanding options will be immediately exercisable and vested as of a date prior to the transfer of control, or arrange with the surviving, continuing, successor or purchaser corporation (or its parent corporation) for such corporation to either assume our rights and obligations under outstanding options or substitute options for such corporation for such outstanding options.
Termination or Amendment
The 1993 Stock Option Plan provides that our board can terminate or amend this plan at any time, although certain amendments may require stockholder approval and an amendment cannot adversely affect any rights under an outstanding grant without the grantee's consent, unless such an amendment is required to enable an option designated as an incentive stock option to qualify as an incentive stock option.
1998 Equity Incentive Plan
Our 1998 Equity Incentive Plan was originally adopted by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders in 1998. Subject to certain adjustments set forth in the plan, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or awarded under 1998 Equity Incentive Plan is 14,100,000 shares. As of June 30 2006, options to purchase 10,450,285 shares of our common stock were outstanding under this plan. We do not intend to grant any additional awards under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan after the consummation of this offering. The following is a description of the material features and provisions of the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan.
87
Awards
Under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, we may grant incentive stock options intended to qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and stock purchase rights. As of June 30, 2006, only stock options have been granted under this plan.
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
Options granted under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan will be designated as incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Notwithstanding whether an option is designated as an incentive stock option, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which such designated incentive stock option is exercisable for the first time by any optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess options will be treated as non-qualified stock options. Subject to the grantee's continued employment, options and stock appreciation rights generally vest at a rate of at least 20% per year over not more than five years from the date of grant, but the plan administrator has the authority to provide that an option may become fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment, at any time or during any period established by the plan administrator. Each option or stock appreciation right will expire after a term determined at the time of grant. However, in the case of an incentive stock option such term shall not exceed 10 years, and in the case of an option granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our stock on the date of grant, such term shall not exceed 5 years. The plan provides that incentive options may not have exercise prices less than the fair market value at the time of grant, and non-qualified stock options may not have exercise prices less than 85% of the fair market value at the time of grant. If the grantee owns more than 10% of our stock, the option may not have an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock appreciation rights will be settled in cash or shares (or some combination thereof) having a value, at the time of settlement, equal to the difference between the initial value assigned to the stock appreciation right and the fair market value of our shares at the time of settlement.
The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan provides that if a grantee's employment or consulting relationship with us terminates, other than for disability or death, the grantee may, within 90 days after termination (or such other period of time as determined by the plan administrator), exercise his or her option or stock appreciation right to the extent that the option or stock appreciation right has vested by the date of termination. If a grantee's employment with us terminates due to death or disability, the grantee (or the grantee's estate) may, within 12 months thereafter, exercise his or her option or stock appreciation right to the extent that the option or stock appreciation right has vested by the date of termination of employment or consulting relationship. Other than by will or other transfer on death, options and stock appreciation rights are not transferable.
Stock Grants and Stock Purchase Rights
Stock grants and stock purchase rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the plan and/or cash awards made outside of the plan. Stock purchase rights confer on the grantee the right to purchase some number of shares of our common stock determined by the plan administrator. The plan provides that the purchase price of the shares subject to stock purchase rights granted under the plan may not be less than 50% of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of the offer. Stock purchase rights cease to be exercisable not later than 30 days after grant. The offer of a stock grant or stock purchase right is accepted by execution of a restricted stock purchase agreement, in a form determined by the plan administrator.
88
Administration
The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan is currently administered by our compensation committee. The administrator, whether our board or a committee, has the authority to determine the fair market value of the common stock for the purposes of making an award, select the eligible persons to whom awards may be granted, make the awards, determine the number of shares to be covered by each award, offer to buy out for cash or shares a granted option or stock appreciation right and determine the form, terms and conditions of any agreement by which any award is made. The administrator may also determine, among other things, whether an option or stock appreciation right will be paid in cash rather than stock and the restrictions applicable to any stock grants or purchase rights.
Eligibility
Under the terms of the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock grants and stock purchase rights may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of our company and our qualifying parent or subsidiary corporations. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) and employees of qualifying parent or subsidiary corporations.
Foreign Participants
In order to comply with the laws in other countries in which we and our subsidiaries operate or have persons eligible to participate in the plan, the plan administrator has the power to determine which of our subsidiaries will be covered by the plan, determine which of our directors, employees and consultants outside the United States are eligible to participate in the plan, modify the terms and conditions of any award granted to such eligible individuals to comply with applicable foreign laws, establish subplans and modify any terms and procedures (with certain exceptions), and take any action that it deems advisable with respect to local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.
Adjustments
If a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of our common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock occurs without receipt of consideration by us, then our board can make equitable adjustments to the terms of the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan. In particular, our board can make an equitable adjustment in the number of shares authorized for issuance under this plan but as to which no options or stock appreciation rights have yet been granted or which have been returned to the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an option or stock appreciation right, as well as the price per share covered by each outstanding option or stock appreciation right.
Change of Control
The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan includes change of control provisions which may result in the accelerated vesting of outstanding option grants and stock appreciation rights. In the event of a merger or consolidation of our company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, any outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will be assumed or an equivalent option or stock appreciation right will be substituted by the successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary. In the event that the successor corporation does not agree to assume or substitute outstanding options and stock appreciation rights granted under this plan, our board will provide for the participants to have the right to exercise all such options or stock appreciation rights previously granted, including those which would not otherwise be exercisable. Such options and stock appreciation rights will be considered assumed if, following the merger, each option or stock appreciation right confers the right to purchase, or receive the appreciation in fair market value, for each share of stock subject to the option or stock appreciation right immediately prior to the merger, the consideration
89
received in the merger by our stockholders. However, if the consideration received in the merger is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, our board may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the plan participants, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option or stock appreciation right to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by our stockholders.
Termination or Amendment
The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan provides that our board can amend, alter, suspend or discontinue this plan at any time, although certain amendments may require stockholder approval and an amendment cannot adversely affect any rights under an outstanding grant without the grantee's consent.
2007 Incentive Award Plan
Our board of directors plans to adopt, subject to stockholder approval, our 2007 Incentive Award Plan, for the benefit of employees and consultants of our company and our subsidiaries and members of our board. The 2007 Incentive Award Plan will become effective upon the closing of this offering. No determination has been made as to the types or amounts of awards that will be granted to specific individuals pursuant to the plan. The following is a description of the material features and provisions of the 2007 Incentive Award Plan.
Shares Available for Awards
Subject to certain adjustments set forth in the plan, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or awarded under the 2007 Incentive Award Plan is shares. If any shares covered by an award granted under the plan are forfeited, or if an award expires or terminates, the shares covered by the award will again be available for grant under the plan.
Awards
The 2007 Incentive Award Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, performance bonus awards, and performance-based awards to eligible individuals. Except as otherwise provided by the plan administrator, no award granted under the plan may be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
The maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be subject to awards granted to any one participant during any calendar year is and the maximum amount that may be paid to a participant in cash during any calendar year with respect to cash-based awards is $ . However, these limits will not apply until the earliest of the first material modification of the plan, the issuance of all of the shares reserved for issuance under the plan, the expiration of the plan, or the first meeting of our stockholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs more than three years after the completion of this offering.
Stock Options
Stock options, including both nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, may be granted under the 2007 Incentive Award Plan. The option exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. No incentive stock option may be granted to a grantee who owns more than 10% of our stock unless the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value at the time of grant. Notwithstanding whether an option is designated as an incentive stock option, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which such option is exercisable for the first time by any optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess will be treated as a nonqualified stock option.
90
Each independent director will automatically be granted an option to purchase shares of our stock on the date on which this offering is consummated and an option to purchase shares on the date of each subsequent annual stockholders meeting at which he or she is reelected to our board. Each independent director who is initially elected to our board after the completion of this offering will automatically be granted an option to purchase shares of our stock on the date of such election and an option to purchase shares of our stock on the date of each subsequent annual stockholders meeting at which he or she is reelected to our board. The exercise price of all options granted to independent directors will be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and each such option will vest .
Payment of the exercise price of an option may be made in cash or, with the consent of the plan administrator, shares of our stock with a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the exercise price of the option or exercised portion thereof or other property acceptable to the plan administrator (including the delivery of a notice that the participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares then issuable upon exercise of the option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to us in satisfaction of the option exercise price). However, no participant who is a member of our board of directors or an "executive officer" of Accuray within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, will be permitted to pay the exercise price of an option in any method which would violate Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.
Stock options may be exercised as determined by the plan administrator, but in no event after the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. However, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our stock on the date of grant, such term will not exceed 5 years.
Restricted Stock
Eligible employees, consultants and directors may be issued restricted stock in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as determined by the plan administrator. Restricted stock will be evidenced by a written restricted stock agreement. The restricted stock agreement will contain restrictions on transferability and other such restrictions as the plan administrator may determine, including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote restricted stock or the right to receive dividends on the restricted stock. These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the plan administrator determines at the time of grant of the award or thereafter.
Stock Appreciation Rights
A stock appreciation right, or SAR, is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of our stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the fair market value of a share of our stock on the date of grant of the SAR. The plan administrator may issue SARs in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, consistent with the terms of the plan. The plan administrator may elect to pay SARs in cash, in our stock or in a combination of cash and our stock.
Other Awards Under the Plan
The 2007 Incentive Award Plan provides that the plan administrator may also grant or issue performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, performance bonus awards and performance-based awards or any combination thereof to eligible employees, consultants and directors. The term of each such grant or issuance will be set by the plan administrator in its discretion. The plan administrator may establish the exercise price or purchase price, if any, of any such award.
91
Payments with respect to any such award will be made in cash, in our stock or in a combination of cash and our stock, as determined by the plan administrator. Any such award will be subject to such additional terms and conditions as determined by the plan administrator and will be evidenced by a written award agreement.
Performance shares. Awards of performance shares are denominated in a number of shares of our stock and may be linked to any one or more performance criteria determined appropriate by the plan administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the plan administrator.
Performance stock units. Awards of performance stock units are denominated in unit equivalent of shares of our stock and/or units of value, including dollar value of shares of our stock, and may be linked to any one or more performance criteria determined appropriate by the plan administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the plan administrator.
Dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents are rights to receive the equivalent value (in cash or our stock) of dividends paid on our stock. They represent the value of the dividends per share paid by us, calculated with reference to the number of shares that are subject to any award held by the participant.
Stock payments. Stock payments include payments in the form of our stock, options or other rights to purchase our stock made in lieu of all or any portion of the compensation that would otherwise be paid to the participant. The number of shares will be determined by the plan administrator and may be based upon specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the plan administrator, determined on the date such stock payment is made or on any date thereafter.
Deferred stock. Deferred stock may be awarded to participants and may be linked to any performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the plan administrator. Stock underlying a deferred stock award will not be issued until the deferred stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the plan administrator, and unless otherwise provided by the plan administrator, recipients of deferred stock generally will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to such deferred stock until the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the stock underlying the deferred stock award has been issued.
Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units may be granted to any participant in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the plan administrator. At the time of grant, the plan administrator will specify the date or dates on which the restricted stock units will become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of grant, the plan administrator will specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of restricted stock units which will be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the award and may be determined at the election of the participant. On the maturity date, we will transfer to the participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of our stock for each restricted stock unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited.
Performance bonus awards. Any participant selected by the plan administrator may be granted a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by the plan administrator and relate to any one or more performance criteria determined appropriate by the plan administrator on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the plan administrator. Any such cash bonus paid to a "covered employee" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code may be a performance-based award as described below.
92
Performance-Based Awards
The plan administrator may grant awards other than options and stock appreciation rights to employees who are or may be "covered employees," as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, that are intended to be performance-based awards within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code in order to preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax purposes. Participants are only entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the plan administrator for the period are satisfied. With regard to a particular performance period, the plan administrator will have the discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period. In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the plan administrator may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the award. Generally, a participant will have to be employed by us or any of our qualifying subsidiaries on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for any period.
Administration
With respect to stock option grants and other awards granted to our independent directors, the 2007 Incentive Award Plan will be administered by our full board of directors. With respect to all other awards, the plan will be administered by a committee consisting of at least two directors, each of whom qualifies as a non-employee director pursuant to Rule 16b of the Exchange Act, an "outside director" pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code and an independent director under the rules of the principal securities market on which our shares are traded. Immediately following the completion of this offering, this committee will be our compensation committee. In addition, our board may at any time exercise any rights and duties of the committee under the plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the committee.
The plan administrator will have the exclusive authority to administer the plan, including, but not limited to, the power to determine award recipients, the types and sizes of awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting restriction. Only our employees and employees of our qualifying corporate subsidiaries are eligible to be granted options that are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code.
Eligibility
Persons eligible to participate in the 2007 Incentive Award Plan include all members of our board of directors and all employees and consultants of our company and our subsidiaries, as determined by the plan administrator.
Foreign Participants
In order to comply with the laws in other countries in which we and our subsidiaries operate or have persons eligible to participate in the plan, the plan administrator will have the power to determine which of our subsidiaries will be covered by the plan, determine which of our directors, employees and consultants outside the United States are eligible to participate in the plan, modify the terms and conditions of any award granted to such eligible individuals to comply with applicable foreign laws, establish subplans and modify any terms and procedures (with certain exceptions), and take any action that it deems advisable with respect to local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.
93
Adjustments
If there is any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of our assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of our stock or the share price of our stock, the plan administrator will make proportionate adjustments to any or all of the following in order to reflect such change: (i) the aggregate number and type of shares that may be issued under the plan, (ii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto), and (iii) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding awards under the plan. Any adjustment affecting an award intended as "qualified performance-based compensation" will be made consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. The plan administrator also has the authority under the 2007 Incentive Award Plan to take certain other actions with respect to outstanding awards in the event of a corporate transaction, including provision for the cash-out, termination, assumption or substitution of such awards.
Change of Control
Except as may otherwise be provided in any written agreement between the participant and us, in the event of a change of control of our company in which awards are not converted, assumed, or replaced by the successor, such awards will become fully exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such awards will lapse. Upon, or in anticipation of, a change of control, the plan administrator may cause any and all awards outstanding under the 2007 Incentive Award Plan to terminate at a specific time in the future and will give each participant the right to exercise such awards during a period of time as the plan administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines.
Termination or Amendment
With the approval of our board of directors, the plan administrator may terminate, amend, or modify the 2007 Incentive Award Plan at any time. However, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, to increase the number of shares available under the plan, to permit the grant of options with an exercise price below fair market value on the date of grant, or to extend the exercise period for an option beyond ten years from the date of grant. In addition, absent stockholder approval, no option may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the shares subject to such option below the per share exercise price as of the date the option was granted and, except to the extent permitted by the plan in connection with certain changes in capital structure, no option may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an option having a higher per share exercise price.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our board of directors plans to adopt, subject to stockholder approval, our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The plan will become effective upon the closing of this offering. The following is a description of the material features and provisions of the plan.
Administration
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by a committee consisting of at least two members of our board of directors, each of whom is a "non-employee director" for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Initially, this committee will be the compensation committee of our board. Subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, the committee has the authority to make all determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the plan.
94
The committee is also authorized to adopt, amend and rescind rules relating to the administration of the plan. Our board of directors may at any time exercise the rights and duties of the committee to administer the plan.
Eligibility
Our employees and the employees of our designated subsidiaries who customarily work more than 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year are eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Each eligible employee who is employed by us or any of our designated subsidiaries on the day immediately preceding the effective date of this prospectus will automatically become a participant in the plan with respect to the first offering period. Each person who, during the course of an offering period, becomes an eligible employee subsequent to the enrollment date will be eligible to become a participant in the plan on the first day of the first purchase period following the day on which he or she becomes an eligible employee. However, no employee is eligible to participate in the plan if, immediately after the election to participate, such employee would own stock (including stock such employee may purchase under outstanding rights under the plan) representing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our stock or the stock of any of our parent or subsidiary corporations. In addition, no employee is permitted to participate if the rights of the employee to purchase our common stock under the plan and all similar purchase plans maintained by us or our subsidiaries would accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined at the time the right is granted) for each calendar year.
Shares Reserved
Subject to certain adjustments set forth in the plan, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is shares. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each of our fiscal years during the term of the plan, commencing on July 1, 200 , by a number of shares equal to the least of: (1) of our outstanding capital stock on such date; (2) shares; or (3) a lesser amount determined by our board of directors.
Enrollment
Except with respect to the first offering period, eligible employees become participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan by executing a subscription agreement and filing it with us 15 days (or such shorter or longer period as may be determined by the plan administrator) prior to the applicable enrollment date. By enrolling in the plan, a participant is deemed to have elected to purchase the maximum number of whole shares of our common stock that can be purchased with the compensation withheld during each purchase period within the offering period for which the participant is enrolled.
Terms
Offerings; exercise dates. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, an offering period will last for not more than months. Offering periods under the plan will initially be -month periods, each comprised of -month purchase periods. Under the plan, purchases will be made times during each offering period on the last trading day of each purchase period, and the dates of such purchases will be "exercise dates." A new purchase period will begin the day after each exercise date. The first offering period under the plan will begin on the effective date of this Registration Statement and will continue until May 31, 2007. After the first offering period, a new -month offering period will begin on each June 1st and December 1st thereafter during the term of the plan. The plan administrator may change the duration and timing of offering periods and exercise dates under the plan. If the fair market value per share of our common stock on any exercise date is less than the fair market value per share
95
on the start date of the -month offering period, then that offering period will automatically terminate, and a new -month offering period will begin on the next trading day. All participants in the terminated offering period will automatically be transferred to the new offering period.
Price and payment. Employees electing to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will authorize payroll deductions made on each pay day during each offering period until the employee instructs us to stop the deductions or until the employee's employment is terminated. Participants may contribute up to 20% of their compensation through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each semi-annual exercise date. Compensation for purposes of the plan means an employee's base straight time gross earnings and commissions, but excludes payments for overtime, shift premium, incentive compensation, incentive payments, bonuses, expense reimbursements, fringe benefits and other compensation. The purchase price per share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first trading day of the applicable offering period or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the semi-annual exercise date. No employee is permitted to purchase more than shares during each offering period or more than shares during each purchase period.
The fair market value of a share of our common stock on any date will equal the closing sales price of a share of common stock on NASDAQ for such date, or if no sale occurred on such date, the first trading date immediately prior to such date during which a sale occurred, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the plan administrator may deem reliable for such purposes.
Termination of participation. Employees may end their participation in an offering at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically on failure to qualify as an eligible employee for any reason. Upon such termination of the employee's participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, such employee's payroll deductions not already used to purchase stock under the plan will be returned to the employee.
Adjustments
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar change in our capitalization, the number of shares available for issuance under the plan and the purchase price and number of shares covered by options outstanding under the plan will be appropriately adjusted.
In the event we merge with or into another corporation or sell all or substantially all of our assets, the outstanding rights under the plan will be assumed or an equivalent right substituted by the successor company or its parent or subsidiary. If the successor company or its parent or subsidiary refuses to assume the outstanding rights or substitute an equivalent right, then the offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new exercise date prior to the effective date of the transaction and all outstanding purchase rights will automatically be exercised on the new exercise date. The purchase price will be equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first trading day of the applicable offering period in which an acquisition occurs or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the purchase rights are exercised.
Termination or Amendment
Our board of directors may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Generally, no amendment may make any change in any option previously granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant without such participant's consent, provided that an offering period may be terminated by our board of directors if it determines that the termination of the offering period or the plan is in the best interests of our company and our stockholders. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code, we will obtain stockholder approval of any amendment to the plan.
96
Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the plan administrator may change the offering periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an offering period, and establish such other limitations or procedures as it determines consistent with the plan. In addition, in the event our board of directors determines that the ongoing operation of the plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, our board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence. Such modifications or amendments will not require stockholder approval or the consent of any plan participants.
Unless earlier terminated by the plan administrator, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of its initial adoption by our board.
Registration of Shares on Form S-8
We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of common stock issuable under the 1993 Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2007 Incentive Award Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
401(k) Plan
We sponsor a defined contribution plan intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, or a 401(k) plan. Employees who are at least 18 years of age are generally eligible to participate and may enter the plan on the first day of the month coinciding with or following their date of hire. Participants may make pre-tax contributions to the plan of up to 100% of their eligible compensation, subject to a statutorily prescribed annual limit. Each participant is fully vested in his or her contributions and the investment earnings, if employed on or before December 31, 2005. For those employed on or after January 1, 2006, a four year (25% per year) vesting schedule is applied to matching and discretionary employer contributions. We make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in an amount equal to 100% of employee salary deferrals. In applying this matching percentage, however, matching contributions in any plan year will not exceed $2,000. Contributions by the participants to the plan, and the income earned on these contributions, are generally not taxable to the participants until withdrawn. Participant contributions are held in trust as required by law. Individual participants may direct the trustee to invest their accounts in authorized investment alternatives.
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each to be effective upon the completion of this offering, will provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits our amended and restated certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:
If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our amended and restated certificate of
97
incorporation does not eliminate a director's duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our amended and restated bylaws, we are also be empowered to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and other agents and to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.
In addition to the indemnification required in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors, officers, and some employees before the completion of this offering. These agreements provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, and some employees for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder's investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Distribution Agreements
Japanese Distributor
In June 1993, we entered into a distribution agreement with Marubeni Machinery & Engineering Corporation, a Japanese corporation, or Marubeni, which is an affiliate of Marubeni Corporation, a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding voting stock, to exclusively distribute the CyberKnife system in Japan. The agreement became effective on the date we first received an order from Marubeni, and the terms of the agreement provide that it would continue until seven years after approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health for the CyberKnife system, which approval was granted in November 1996. The agreement was subject to automatic renewal for two year periods, provided certain conditions are met. On December 1, 1995, the Medical Division of Marubeni established itself as Meditec Corporation, a Japanese corporation, or Meditec. With our written consent, Marubeni transferred its rights and responsibilities under the distribution agreement to Meditec, an entity affiliated with Marubeni. Under the agreement, the specific terms for each sale of the CyberKnife system by us to Meditec were generally set forth on a form of purchase order.
In May 2003, we entered into an agreement with Meditec, under which we agreed, among other things, to upgrade previously purchased CyberKnife systems by Meditec. The aggregate purchase price for these upgrades was approximately $16.9 million. Under the agreement Meditec agreed to pay us a deposit of $1.0 million. The agreement provided that if we changed distributors in Japan, we would first fill new orders in Japan from existing inventory held by Meditec, with a payment of at least $1.5 million to be paid to Meditec when a system was installed. In addition, we agreed to refurbish one system for approximately $300,000. In January 2004, we entered into a distribution agreement with a different Japanese distributor and no longer distribute our products through Meditec in Japan. Existing Meditec customers at that time have been transitioned to the new distributor. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we received payments of $13.1 million, $2.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively, relating to products and services provided to Meditec. As of September 30, 2006, Meditec had no outstanding accounts receivable with us.
Taiwanese Distributor
In June 2004, we entered into distribution agreements with President Medical Technologies, Co., Ltd. Inc., a Taiwanese corporation, or PMTC, to exclusively distribute the CyberKnife system in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao SAR. This agreement became effective on June 1, 2004 and will expire on December 31, 2008. This agreement replaced a prior agreement with PMTC effective as of September 1, 2002, which replaced a prior agreement effective as of March 1, 2000. The term of the current agreement may be extended for additional one year periods if we and PMTC mutually agree. Under the agreement, PMTC must provide us a purchase order or letter of intent nine months in advance of the order's proposed shipment date. Within four to six months prior to the proposed shipment date, PMTC must pay us a non-refundable amount of $450,000. Of the balance, 90% is due upon presentation of documents evidencing shipment and 10% is due upon 180 days following shipment. The agreement may be terminated by either party for a material breach of the agreement which is not cured within 45 days of notice of that breach, or upon a change of control of us. Either party may terminate the agreement without cause within the first two years of the agreement, upon six months advance written notice to the other party. Payments from PMTC were $3.9 million, $21,000 and $632,000 for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
President (BVI) International Investment Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of PMTC, is a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding voting stock. In addition, Mr. Tu, one of our directors, is President of President International Development Corporation, of which President (BVI) International Investment Holdings Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary, and is a director of PMTC.

Other Arrangements
Dr. Adler, a member of our board of directors, is a Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology at Stanford University. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we recognized revenue of $100,000, $585,000 and $195,000, respectively, relating to products and services provided to Stanford University. Advances and deferred revenue of $195,000 and $1,340,000 were recorded at June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, relating to payments made by Stanford University. We also have a license agreement with Stanford University. See "Businessintellectual property."

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table presents information as to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 10, 2006 by:
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. Shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 10, 2006 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
This table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 41,915,897 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 10, 2006, after giving effect to the conversion of our outstanding preferred stock into 25,186,285 shares of common stock immediately prior to the closing of this offering and the exercise of a warrant to purchase 525,000 shares of common stock immediately prior to the closing of this offering.

General
Upon the closing of this offering, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The following information assumes our reincorporation in Delaware, the filing of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into shares of common stock upon the completion of this offering.
Prior to the closing of this offering, we plan to reincorporate from California to Delaware to take advantage of the substantial and established judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to actions that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a corporation's board of directors.
As of June 30, 2006, and assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into common stock and the exercise of a warrant to purchase 525,000 shares of common stock immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, there were outstanding:
Common Stock
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.
Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors will not be provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
Upon our dissolution or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock, subject to the preferential rights and payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Upon the completion of this offering, our board of directors will have the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption,
104
liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company or other corporate action. Upon completion of this offering, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding, and we have no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to be in Effect Upon the Completion of This Offering
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be in effect upon the completion of this offering will provide for our board of directors to be divided into three classes, with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws to be effective upon the completion of this offering will provide that all stockholder action must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by a consent in writing, and that only our board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, or president (in the absence of a chief executive officer) may call a special meeting of stockholders.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will require a 662/3% stockholder vote for the amendment, repeal or modification of certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws relating to the classification of our board of directors, the requirement that stockholder actions be effected at a duly called meeting, and the designated parties entitled to call a special meeting of the stockholders. The combination of the classification of our board of directors, the lack of cumulative voting and the 662/3% stockholder voting requirements will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.
These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a
105
period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:
In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:
In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as an entity or person who, together with the person's affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
Acceleration of Options Upon Change of Control
Under our 1998 Equity Incentive Plan and 2007 Incentive Award Plan, in the event of certain mergers, a reorganization or consolidation of our company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or all of our capital stock wherein the successor corporation does not assume outstanding options or issue equivalent options, our board of directors is required to accelerate vesting of options outstanding under that plan.

These stockholders may make an unlimited number of requests for registration on Form S-3. However, we will not be required to effect a registration on Form S-3 during the period beginning 60 days prior and six months following any underwritten public offering of our common stock or if we have effected two such registrations in a given 12 month period. Additionally, we are obligated to pay the registration expenses of only the first four of any such registrations on Form S-3.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK
The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. holders (as defined below) of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering. This discussion is not a complete analysis of all the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences relating thereto, nor does it address any estate tax consequences or any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws or any other U.S. federal tax laws. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, all as in effect as of the date of this offering. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, resulting in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS with respect to the matters discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common stock, or that any such contrary position would not be sustained by a court.
This discussion is limited to non-U.S. holders who purchase our common stock issued pursuant to this offering and who hold our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of that holder's particular circumstances. This discussion also does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may be relevant to holders subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation, U.S. expatriates, partnerships and other pass-through entities, "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," "foreign personal holding companies," corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, financial institutions, insurance companies, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies, tax-exempt organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, and persons holding our common stock as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or straddle, or a constructive sale, or other risk reduction strategy.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ACQUIRING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS AND ANY OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS.
Definition of Non-U.S. Holder
For purposes of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is not a "U.S. person" or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any of the following:
108
If a partnership (or other entity taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our common stock and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.
Distributions on Our Common Stock
Payments on our common stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first be applied against and reduce a holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain.
Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder of our common stock that are not effectively connected with a United States trade or business conducted by such holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends, or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must furnish to us or our paying agent a valid IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) certifying such holder's qualification for the reduced rate. This certification must be provided to us or our paying agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. holders that do not timely provide us or our paying agent with the required certification, but which qualify for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
If a non-U.S. holder holds our common stock in connection with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and dividends paid on the common stock are effectively connected with such holder's United States trade or business, the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. To claim the exemption, the non-U.S. holder must furnish to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form).
Any dividends paid on our common stock that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder's U.S. trade or business (or if required by an applicable tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if such holder were a resident of the United States, unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise. A non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) of a portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
A non-U.S. holder who claims the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty generally will be required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements prior to the distribution date. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.
Gain on Disposition of Our Common Stock
A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our common stock unless:
109
Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we currently are not and will not become a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. In the event we do become a USRPHC, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, our common stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only with respect to a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively holds more than 5% of our common stock.
Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on an net income basis in the same manner as if such holder were a resident of the United States. Non-U.S. holders that are foreign corporations also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) of a portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a flat 30% rate, but may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends on our common stock paid to such holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to those dividends. These information reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the dividends were effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business, or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. This information also may be made available under a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Backup withholding, currently at a 28% rate, however, generally will not apply to payments of dividends to a non-U.S. holder of our common stock provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our paying agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or certain other requirements are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.
Payments of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our common stock made by or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, information reporting (but not backup withholding) will apply to those payments if the broker does not have documentary evidence that the beneficial owner is a non-U.S. holder, an exemption is not otherwise established, and the broker is:
110
Payment of the proceeds from a non-U.S. holder's disposition of our common stock made by or through the U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the non-U.S. holder certifies as to its non-U.S. holder status under penalties of perjury, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
111
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants or options, in the public market after this offering could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
Upon the completion of this offering, based on the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2006, we will have shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options or warrants. Of the outstanding shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable, except that any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may only be sold in compliance with the limitations described below.
The remaining shares of common stock will be deemed restricted securities as defined under Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144, 144(k) or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. Subject to the lock-up agreements described below, all of these restricted securities will be available for sale in the public market beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus under Rule 144, subject in some cases to volume limitations, Rule 144(k) or Rule 701.
Lock-Up Agreements
All of our directors and officers and substantially all of our stockholders have signed lock-up agreements under which they have agreed not to sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, for a period of 180 days, subject to a possible extension under certain circumstances, after the date of this prospectus. These agreements are described below under "Underwriting."
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person, or group of persons whose shares are required to be aggregated, who has beneficially owned shares that are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
In addition, a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years would be entitled to sell these shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the requirements described above. To the extent that shares were acquired from one of our affiliates, a person's holding period for the purpose of effecting a sale under Rule 144 would commence on the date of transfer from the affiliate.
112
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement is eligible to resell those shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with certain restrictions, including the holding period contained in Rule 144. However, substantially all shares issued under Rule 701 are subject to lock-up agreements and will only become eligible for sale at the expiration of such agreements.
Registration Rights
On the date beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus, the holders of 30,023,175 shares of our common stock, or their transferees, will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of those shares under the Securities Act. For a description of these registration rights, please see "Description of Capital Stockregistration rights." After these shares are registered, they will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act.
Stock Options
As of June 30, 2006, options to purchase a total of 10,900,285 shares of our common stock were outstanding. We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register all shares of our common stock subject to outstanding options, all shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of stock options and all shares of our common stock issuable under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Accordingly, shares of our common stock issued under these plans will be eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to vesting restrictions and the lock-up agreements described above.
113
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC are acting as joint bookrunning managers of the offering, and, together with Piper Jaffray & Co. and Jefferies & Company, Inc., are acting as representatives of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, each underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we and the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to that underwriter, the number of shares set forth opposite the underwriter's name.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares (other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if they purchase any of the shares.
The underwriters propose to offer some of the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and some of the shares to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed $ per share. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed $ per share on sales to other dealers. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the representatives may change the public offering price and the other selling terms.
We and the selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to additional shares of our common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter's initial purchase commitment.
We, our officers and directors and our other stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of each of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, dispose of or hedge any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock, subject to customary exceptions. After the 180-day lock-up period, these shares may be sold, subject to applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of allowing the underwriters to comply with NASD Rule 2711(f)(4), if:
then in each case the initial 180-day lock-up period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC waive, in writing, such extension.
114
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the shares was determined by negotiations between us and the representatives. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price were our record of operations, our current financial condition, our future prospects, our markets, the economic conditions in and future prospects for the industry in which we compete, our management, and currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets, including current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company. We cannot assure you, however, that the prices at which the shares will sell in the public market after this offering will not be lower than the initial public offering price or that an active trading market in our common stock will develop and continue after this offering.
The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we and the selling stockholders are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of common stock.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and syndicate covering transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. "Covered" short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters' over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the overallotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of our common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make "naked" short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any "naked" short position by purchasing shares of our common stock in the open market. A "naked" short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of our common stock in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in this offering are reclaimed if shares of our common stock previously distributed in this offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of our common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of our common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on NASDAQ or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. They may also cause the price of our common stock to be higher than the price
115
that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on NASDAQ or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.
We estimate that our total expenses of this offering will be $ .
The underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The representatives will allocate shares to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, shares may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell shares to online brokerage account holders.
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the issuance of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Latham & Watkins LLP, Menlo Park, California. Certain legal matters in connection with the offering will be passed upon for the underwriters by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, Palo Alto, California.
Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005, and 2006 were audited by Grant Thornton LLP. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and 2006, and for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006, included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the reports of Grant Thornton LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
On June 1, 2006, with the approval of our board of directors, we dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit our consolidated financial statements and engaged Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although we had engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to audit our financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP had not completed these audits at the time of their dismissal and accordingly, had not delivered to us a report on our financial statements for that period.
During the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's dismissal, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K) or disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which reportable events or disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the reportable events or disagreements in connection with its reports, other than a material weakness relating to the misapplication of revenue recognition accounting policies which PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP identified relative to fiscal 2004.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was provided with a copy of the above statements and we requested that it furnish a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with these statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Accuray Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Accuray Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, temporary equity and stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Accuray Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The June 30, 2006 unaudited pro forma stockholders' equity (deficiency) has been prepared assuming the conversion of Series A, A1, B and C preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2006 into common stock and the exercise of a warrant to purchase 525,000 shares of common stock.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred net losses each year since inception. At June 30, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $120,641,000. Although the Company has recorded positive cash flow from operations for each of the last four fiscal years, in order to continue its operations and achieve its business objectives, the Company must achieve profitability or obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
The failure of the Company to win widespread acceptance of its products by hospitals, physicians and patients could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, future cash flows and financial condition.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
In December 2003, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Accuray International SARL, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of Accuray International is to manage the sales, marketing and service activities of Accuray's international subsidiaries. In January 2004, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Accuray Europe SARL, headquartered in Paris, France. The purpose of Accuray Europe is to market the Company's products in Europe. In January 2005, the Company completed the purchase of the High Energy Systems Division ("HES") of American Science and Engineering, Inc. ("AS&E") and integrated this operation into the Company's existing manufacturing operation. In October 2005, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Accuray UK Ltd, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The purpose of Accuray UK Ltd is to market the Company's products in the United Kingdom and other countries in northern Europe. In December 2005, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Accuray Asia Limited, headquartered in Hong Kong, SAR. The purpose of Accuray Asia Limited is to market the Company's products in Asia. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiaries, and all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
F-8
Foreign Currency
The Company's international subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional currencies. For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly to accumulated comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders' equity (deficiency). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included as a component of interest and other income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company relate to stock-based compensation, allowances, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and deferred revenue and costs for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market accounts and amounted to $14,519,000 and $3,623,000 at June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash amounts include amounts deposited as collateral to assure future credit availability, typically credit card purchases, arrangements in contracts with others requiring that specific cash amounts be set aside, or the Company's statements of intention with regard to particular deposits. Restricted cash amounts were $158,000 and $1,000 at June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Based upon interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company's note payable is also approximately equal to its fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are deposited with one major financial institution. At times, deposits in this institution exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on these balances.

Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Accounts are charged against our allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $45,000 and $20,000 at June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry including, but not limited to: new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, dependence on key suppliers, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of widespread market acceptance of products, product liability and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company's products include components subject to rapid technological change. Certain components used in manufacturing have relatively few alternative sources of supply, and establishing additional or replacement suppliers for such components cannot be accomplished quickly. While the Company has ongoing programs to minimize the adverse effect of such uncertainty and considers technological change in estimating its allowances, uncertainty continues to exist.
F-10
The products currently under development by the Company may require clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company's products will receive the necessary clearance. If the Company were denied such clearance or such clearance was delayed, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Excess and obsolete inventories are written down generally based on historical sales and forecasted demand, as judged by management. The Company determines inventory and product costs through use of standard costs which approximate actual average costs.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generated from the sale of products, shared ownership programs, and by providing related services, which include installation services, post-contract customer support ("PCS"), training and consulting. The Company's products and upgrades to those products include software that is essential to the functionality of the products and accordingly, the Company accounts for the sale of its products pursuant to Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2"), as amended.
The Company recognizes product revenues for sales of the CyberKnife system, replacement parts and accessories when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable and delivery has occurred as prescribed by SOP 97-2. Payments received in advance of product shipment are recorded as customer advances and are recognized as revenue or deferred revenue upon product shipment or installation.
For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to services and PCS based upon vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value of the respective elements. VSOE of fair value for the services element is based upon the Company's standard rates charged for the services when such services are sold separately or based upon the price established by management having the relevant authority when that service is not yet being sold separately. When contracts contain multiple elements, and VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, the Company accounts for the delivered elements, principally the CyberKnife system, based upon the "residual method" as prescribed by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all the undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until the earlier of; (1) delivery of all elements, or (2) establishment of VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements.
Upgrade services revenues relate to the sale of specialized services specifically contracted to provide current technology capabilities for units previously sold through a distributor into the Japan market. The upgrade programs include elements where VSOE of fair value has not been established for the PCS. As a result, associated revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the PCS arrangement, generally four years.
F-11
Service revenue for providing PCS, which includes warranty services, extended warranty services, unspecified when and if available product updates and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period, generally one year, until no further obligation exists. At the time of sale, the Company provides for the estimated incremental costs of meeting product warranty if the incremental warranty costs are expected to exceed the related service revenues. Training and consulting service revenues, that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the CyberKnife system, are recognized as such services are performed.
Costs associated with providing PCS and maintenance services are expensed when incurred, except when those costs are related to units where revenue recognition has been deferred. In those cases, the costs are deferred until the recognition of the related revenue and are recognized over the period of revenue recognition.
For all sales, the Company uses either a signed agreement or a binding purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. Sales to third party distributors are evidenced by a distribution agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The Company records revenues from an arrangement with distributors based on a sell-through method where revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product to the end user customer once all revenue recognition criteria are met. These criteria require that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there is no right of return.
The Company's agreements with customers and distributors do not contain product return rights.
The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company generally does not request collateral from its customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not probable, the Company will defer the fee and recognize revenue upon receipt of cash.
The Company also enters into shared ownership programs with certain customers. Under the terms of such programs, the Company retains title to its CyberKnife system, while the customer has use of the product. The Company generally receives a minimum monthly payment and earns additional revenues from the customer based upon its use of the product. The Company may provide unspecified upgrades to the product during the term of each program when and if available. Upfront non-refundable payments from the customer are deferred and recognized as revenue over the contractual period. Revenues from shared ownership programs are recorded as they become earned and receivable and are included within shared ownership program revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recognized approximately $4,831,000, $8,067,000 and $8,145,000, respectively, of revenue from these shared ownership programs.
The CyberKnife systems associated with the Company's shared ownership programs are recorded within property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful life of ten years. Depreciation and warranty expense attributable to the CyberKnife shared ownership systems are recorded within costs of products.
F-12
Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of deferred product revenue, deferred shared ownership program revenue, deferred service revenue and deferred other revenue. Deferred product revenue arises from timing differences between the shipment of product and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with the Company's revenue recognition policy. Deferred shared ownership program revenue results from the receipt of advance monthly minimum lease payments, which will be recognized ratably over the term of the shared ownership program. Deferred service revenue results from the advance payment for services to be delivered over a period of time, usually one year. Service revenue is recognized ratably over the service period. Deferred other revenue results primarily from the Japan upgrade services programs and is due to timing differences between the receipt of cash payments for those upgrades and final delivery to the end user customer. Deferred cost of revenue consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of units, direct service costs for which the revenue has been deferred in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policies, and deferred costs associated with the Japan upgrade services. Deferred revenue, and associated deferred cost of revenue, expected to be realized within one year are classified as current liabilities and current assets, respectively.
Customer Advances
Customer advances represent payments made by customers in advance of product shipment.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over four years. Computer and office equipment are depreciated over three years. CyberKnife systems covered by the shared ownership program are depreciated over their estimated useful life of ten years. Repairs and maintenance costs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or no longer in service are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statements of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, the Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Under SFAS No. 144, an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
F-13
Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Through June 30, 2006, there have been no such losses.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. Purchased intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless their lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which is typically seven years.
Shipping and Handling
The Company's shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in product revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included in costs of products.
Research and Development Costs
Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These costs include direct salary costs for research and development personnel, cost for materials used in research and development activities, costs for outside services and allocated portions of facilities and other corporate costs.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, material software development costs are capitalized. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenue, whichever is greater. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility, which the Company has defined as the establishment of a working model which typically occurs when the beta testing commences, and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs.
Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses the costs of advertising and promoting its products and services as incurred. Advertising expense was $18,000, $16,000 and $20,000 for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
F-14
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective July 1, 2003, the Company began to account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS 148"). Under SFAS 123, stock-based compensation expense is measured on the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. Upon adoption of this standard, the Company elected to use the retrospective restatement method of transition.
The Company believes that the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is calculated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as prescribed by SFAS 123, using fair values of common stock between $2.63 and $7.63 per share and the following weighted-average assumptions during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006:

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, the Company has recorded deferred stock-based compensation for the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant. This deferred stock-based compensation is amortized to expense over the period during which the options become exercisable, generally four years. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company reversed $1,078,000, $1,215,000 and $1,651,000, respectively, of deferred stock-based compensation related to cancellations of unvested options of certain employees who had been granted stock options and subsequently terminated their employment with the Company. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company amortized $2,312,000, $5,531,000 and $7,945,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for stock options granted to employees.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees is recognized as the stock options are earned in accordance with SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The Company believes that the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as
F-15
prescribed by SFAS 123, using fair values of common stock between $2.63 and $7.63 per share and the following weighted-average assumptions during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006:

The stock-based compensation expense related to non-employees fluctuates as the underlying assumptions fluctuate. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recognized $137,000, $164,000 and $186,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for stock options granted to non-employees.
For certain stock option grants, the Company made modifications to the option terms. These modifications included extension of the vesting period and acceleration of vesting. During the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recognized $0, $631,000 and $112,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for modifications of stock options granted.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Dilutive shares outstanding are calculated by adding to the weighted shares outstanding any common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options and warrants based on the treasury stock method. In fiscal years when net income is reported, the calculation of diluted net income per share typically results in lower earnings per share than is calculated using the basic method. In fiscal years when a net loss is reported, such as the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, these potential shares from stock options and warrants are not included in the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in fiscal years when a loss is reported, the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share results in the same value.
F-16
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the basic and diluted net loss per share were based on weighted-average shares of 11,737,265, 14,282,643, and 15,997,419, respectively. The number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share is as follows:

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences will reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recorded comprehensive losses of $11,703,000, $25,202,000 and $33,674,000, respectively. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and the cumulative translation adjustment arising upon consolidation of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
Segment Information
The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131") as it only reports profit and loss information on an aggregate basis to its chief operating decision maker. The Company's long-lived assets maintained outside the United States are insignificant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 20 ("APB 20") and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle whereas SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS 154 enhances the consistency of financial information between periods. SFAS 154 will be effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
F-18
In December 2004, the FASB issued a Statement, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements Nos. 123 and 95 ("SFAS 123R") that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The effective date of the new standard is as of the beginning of the annual reporting periods that start after December 15, 2005, which will be fiscal year 2007 for the Company.
The Company plans to adopt SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, under which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted or modified after the effective date and (b) based on the previous requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The amounts disclosed within our footnotes are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will be expensed upon the adoption of SFAS 123R. Compensation expense calculated under SFAS 123R may differ from the amounts currently disclosed within our footnotes based on changes in the fair value of our common stock, changes in the number of options granted or the terms of such options, the treatment of tax benefits and changes in interest rates or other factors. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company plans to use the Black-Scholes model to value the compensation expense associated with employee stock options and stock purchases under its employee stock purchase plan.
The Company expects this standard will not have a significant impact on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as cash flow from financing activities, rather than as cash flow from operations as required under SFAS 123. This requirement will reduce net cash flows from operations and increase net cash flows from financing activities in periods after adoption to the extent that such excess tax benefits are realized. The Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107 regarding the Staff's interpretation of SFAS 123R. This interpretation provides the Staff's views regarding interactions between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The interpretive guidance is intended to assist companies in applying the provisions of SFAS 123R and investors and users of the financial statements in analyzing the information provided. The Company will follow the guidance prescribed in SAB 107 in connection with its adoption of SFAS 123R.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact that adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Business Combination
On January 10, 2005, the Company completed the purchase of the High Energy Systems Division ("HES") of American Science and Engineering, Inc. ("AS&E") and integrated this operation into the Company's existing manufacturing operation. HES had been the sole source manufacturer of the linear accelerator used in the CyberKnife system. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations, ("SFAS 141") but lacked the materiality to be incorporated into the accompanying financial statements for presented periods prior to the acquisition date. The transaction was valued at approximately $8,413,000 and the consideration was comprised of $5,500,000 in cash, a note payable for $2,800,000 due one year after closing, and expenses related to the transaction. The total purchase cost of HES was as follows (in thousands):

The Company allocated the purchase price based on the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Tangible assets were valued at carrying costs, subsequent to due diligence supporting those costs. The fair value of the intangible assets acquired was determined through
F-21
valuation by a third-party valuation firm as a basis for the allocation of the purchase price to those assets in accordance with SFAS 141. The purchase price was settled as follows (in thousands):

5. Goodwill and Other Purchased Intangibles
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful lives. Goodwill and other intangible assets have resulted from the Company's January 2005 acquisition of HES. SFAS 142 requires that the Company perform an annual test for impairment of intangible assets with indefinite lives, and interim tests if indications of potential impairment exist. The Company performed the annual test for impairment in December 2005 concluding that there was no impairment of goodwill. At June 30, 2006, there have been no indicators indicating a need to perform an interim test.
The amortization expense relating to intangible assets for the periods ending June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006 was $0, $122,000 and $242,000, respectively.

6. Debt
During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a shared ownership program customer. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received $1,500,000 in exchange for a note payable. The principal balance on the note carried interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. A portion of the monthly payments received by the Company under the terms of the shared ownership program was first applied to the note payable. The note was secured by the CyberKnife system operated by the customer. The note was repaid in full in March 2005.
In January 2004, the Company entered into a financing agreement with a commercial bank. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company could offer domestic and export accounts receivable to the bank in exchange for advances up to an amount not to exceed $2,500,000. Amounts advanced under the agreement carried interest at a rate of 9.6% per annum. The term of the arrangement was for twelve months following the effective date. Collateral for amounts advanced consisted of the Company's rights, title and interest in all goods and equipment, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles, and cash. At June 30, 2005 and 2006 advances against the financing arrangement were zero. The agreement terminated in January 2005.
In conjunction with its acquisition of HES, the Company executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,800,000 as part of the purchase price. The note carried an interest rate of 7%, simple interest. The note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, was payable on the earlier of consummation of an initial public offering of the Company's common stock, or January 10, 2006.

Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe the final disposition of these matters will
F-25
have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or future cash flows of the Company.
Software License Indemnity
Under the terms of the Company's software license agreements with its customers, the Company agrees that in the event the software sold infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right of a third party, it will indemnify its customer licensees, against any loss, expense, or liability from any damages that may be awarded against its customer. The Company includes this infringement indemnification in all of its software license agreements and selected managed services arrangements. In the event the customer cannot use the software or service due to infringement and the Company cannot obtain the right to use, replace or modify the license or service in a commercially feasible manner so that it no longer infringes, then the Company may terminate the license and provide the customer a refund of the fees paid by the customer for the infringing license or service. The Company has recorded no liability associated with this indemnification, as it is not aware of any pending or threatened actions that are probable losses.

Dividend Rights
The holders of the Company's Series A, A1 and B preferred stock are entitled to receive cash dividends in preference to the holders of the Company's common stock, at the rate of 10% per year of the outstanding liquidation preference amounts. The holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% of the purchase price per annum in preference to the holders of the Company's Series A, A1 and B preferred stock and common stock. Such dividends shall be payable only when funds are legally available and only if, as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors, and are non-cumulative. As of June 30, 2006, no dividends have been declared.
Liquidation Rights
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series C preferred stock shall be entitled to an amount equal to a 20% annual internal rate of return on the original issue price per share of Series C preferred stock (which is $1.00) plus an amount equal to any dividends
F-27
declared but unpaid thereon, if any, in preference to any distribution to Series A, A1, Series B or common stock (collectively referred to as "junior stock").
If the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the full Series C liquidation preference amounts, then the available assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series C preferred stock.
After the holders of Series C preferred stock have been paid the amounts to which they shall be entitled, the holders of Series A, A1 and B preferred stock shall be entitled to receive a liquidation preference amount equal to the liquidation value per share multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. The liquidation value of each share of Series A, A1 and B preferred stock is defined as the price paid per share. In February 1999, 4,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock were issued at a price of $2.00 per share, in December 1999 and January 2000, 1,070,666 shares of Series A1 preferred stock were issued at a price of $3.00 per share, and in March 2001, 666,665 shares of Series B preferred stock were issued at a price of $7.50 per share.
If the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the Series A, A1 and B liquidation preference amounts, the available assets shall be distributed to the holders of Series A, A1 and B preferred stock ratably in proportion to the preference amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive. After payment of the liquidation preference amounts, any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Company's common stock.
A consolidation or merger of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, shall be deemed to be a liquidation or winding up for purposes of the liquidation preference if: (i) the fair value of the per share consideration to be received by a holder of preferred stock pursuant to any of the above-mentioned transactions is less than the purchase price of the preferred stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends; and (ii) the existing stockholders of the Company hold less than 50% of the voting power of the successor or surviving corporation.
Voting Rights
The holders of preferred stock have voting rights equal to the holders of the Company's common stock. Each holder of preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of preferred stock are convertible.
Conversion Rights and Antidilution Provisions
The original terms of the Series A, A1, B and C preferred stock provide that each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. Such conversion shall occur at the option of the holder of such preferred share at any time or automatically upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company are at least $5,000,000.
The conversion ratio of outstanding preferred stock, as well as its liquidation rights, shall be adjusted to prevent dilution in the event of any subdivision or combination of the Company's common
F-28
stock or any distribution by the Company of a stock dividend or stock split. The conversion ratio of preferred stock shall be adjusted to prevent dilution upon the Company's issuance, on or after the closing of an offering of common stock or common stock equivalents for a consideration per share which is less than the conversion value of the preferred stock, with the following exceptions: (i) the issuance of common stock or options to purchase common stock to employees, officers, directors or members of the Scientific Advisory Board, with the approval of the Board of Directors, at not less than fair value; (ii) the conversion of any outstanding preferred shares; and (iii) any dividend or distribution on any shares of such common or preferred stock or common stock equivalents described above.
During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, the Company issued 6,000,000 and 5,182,000 shares, respectively, of Series C preferred stock at a price of $1.00 share. These issuances triggered certain anti-dilution rights of the existing Series A, A1 and B preferred stock. As a result of these triggers, the outstanding shares of Series A, A1 and B preferred stock will convert into 6,834,693, 2,169,606 and 4,999,986 shares of common stock, respectively, at June 30, 2006.
The deemed liquidation provisions and the extent of the preferred stockholding result in the preferred stock having redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company and, accordingly, require disclosure of the preferred stock as temporary equity in accordance with EITF Topic D-98.
10. Stockholders' Equity (Deficiency)
Common Stock
As of June 30, 2005, the Company's amended Articles of Incorporation authorized the Company to issue 70,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2006, 16,243,150 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
Stock Option Plans
In 1993, the Company's stockholders approved the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan"). Under the 1993 Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to grant options to purchase shares of common stock at fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors, to employees, directors and consultants.
In 1998, the Company's stockholders approved the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan"). Under the 1998 Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to grant options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants. As of June 30, 2006, the 1993 Plan continued to remain in effect along with the 1998 Plan.
Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Non-employees may be granted non-qualified options. The Board of Directors has the authority to set the exercise price of all options granted, subject to the exercise price of incentive stock options being no less than 100% of the fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors, of a share of common stock on the date of grant; and no less than 85% of the fair value for a non-qualified stock options.
F-29
Generally, the Company's outstanding options vest at a rate of 25% per year. However, certain options granted to certain employees vest based upon performance. Continued vesting typically terminates when the employment or consulting relationship ends.
The maximum term of the options granted to persons who owned at least 10% of the voting power of all outstanding stock on the date of grant is 5 years. The maximum term of all other options is 10 years.
Combined activity under the 1993 Plan and the 1998 Plan (the "Plans") is summarized as follows:

Warrants
During April 2000, in connection with an extension of a line of credit, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share to Pacific Republic. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company estimated that the fair value of the warrants was $2,754,000 on the date of issue, with the following assumptions: fair value of a share of common stock equal to $3.90; term of 5 years; exercise price of $3.00; volatility of 75.0%; dividend rate of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 6.26%. The estimated fair value of the warrant was amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the line of credit. During February 2002, in connection with an extension of Pacific Republic's line of credit to the Company and Series C financing, the Company reduced the exercise price of the 1,000,000 warrants from $3.00 per share to $1.40 per share. The Company measured the incremental fair value of the warrants at the date of modification, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The incremental value of $127,000 was recorded as interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2002. During March 2005, Pacific Republic exercised the warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.40 per share.
During March 1999, in connection with a preferred stock financing, the Company issued a warrant to Pacific Republic to purchase 2,280,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company estimated that the fair value of these warrants was $369,000 on the date of issue. The estimated fair value of these warrants was recorded as an issuance cost against the proceeds of the preferred stock, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. During February 2002, in connection with an extension of Pacific Republic's line of credit to the Company and Series C financing, the Company reduced the exercise price of the 2,280,000 warrants from $2.00 per share to $1.40 per share. The Company measured the incremental fair value of the warrants at the date of modification, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The incremental value of $143,000 was recorded as interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2002. During March 2004, Pacific Republic exercised the warrants to purchase 2,280,000 shares of common stock at $1.40 per share.
In August 2002, in connection with the renegotiation of a contractual commitment with a distributor, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 525,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company estimated that the fair value of the warrant was $225,000 on the date of issue and recorded the warrant in additional paid in capital. Such warrant remains outstanding at June 30, 2006 and expires on August 8, 2007.
In connection with the Series B preferred stock financing in April 2001, the Company was obligated to issue up to 333,333 warrants to purchase common stock at a price per share of $10.00, based on the Company not meeting certain deadlines relating to an initial public offering of the Company's common stock. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $373,000 based on the following assumptions: fair value of a share of common stock equal to $3.00; term of 5 years; exercise price of $10.00; volatility of 75.0%; dividend rate of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 5.34%. The estimated fair value of the warrants was credited to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding debit to Series B preferred stock. During November 2005, warrants to purchase 16,666 shares of common stock were exercised, and the remaining 316,667 warrants expired unexercised in April 2006.

Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.
The Company has established a 100% valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Our certificate of incorporation to be in effect upon the completion of this offering provides for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our bylaws to be in effect upon the completion of this offering provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers and some employees containing provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Reference is also made to Section 9(c) of the underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, which provides for indemnification by the underwriter of our officers and directors against certain liabilities. Reference is also made to the offer letter with Eric P. Lindquist filed as Exhibit 10.12 hereto, which provides for indemnification by the Registrant of Mr. Lindquist in the event a suit is filed against him in connection with his non-competition agreement with a former employer.

Each outstanding warrant and option to purchase shares of common stock of the California corporation will be convertible into corresponding warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock of the Delaware corporation.
From November 1, 2003 through the date of this registration statement, the Registrant has made sales of the following unregistered securities:
1. The Registrant sold an aggregate of 2,225,141 shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants for consideration in the form of cash and forfeited shares in the aggregate amount of $8,239,723.01 upon the exercise of stock options and stock awards, 83,433 shares of which have been repurchased.

Of these, options covering an aggregate of 744,052 were cancelled without being exercised.
3. The Registrant claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that such sales and issuances did not involve a public offering or under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701.
4. In January and May 2003, the Registrant issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to an investor upon exercise of a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $50,000.

5.

All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which the Registrant relied on Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. The Registrant claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.

Item 17. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted as to directors, officers and controlling persons of Accuray pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Accuray of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Accuray in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus as filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by Accuray pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
II-5
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
II-6
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we have duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sunnyvale, State of California, on the 13th day of November 2006.

Exhibit 3.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
ACCURAY INCORPORATED.
Euan Thompson and Robert McNamara hereby certify that:
ONE: They are the duly elected and acting President and Assistant Secretary, respectively, of Accuray Incorporated, a California corporation (the "Corporation").
TWO: The Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation are amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
I.
The name of the Corporation is Accuray Incorporated.
II.
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of California other than the banking business, the trust company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by the California Corporations Code.
III.
This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is Eighty-Seven Million Four Hundred Nineteen Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One (87,419,331) shares, Seventy Million (70,000,000) shares of which shall be Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), and Seventeen Million Four Hundred Nineteen Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One (17,419,331) shares of which shall be Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). None of such shares has any par value. Four Million Five Hundred Thousand (4,500,000) of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated "Series A Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred"), One Million One Hundred Seventy Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six (1,070,666) of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated "Series A-1 Preferred Stock" (the "Series A-1 Preferred"), Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Five (666,665) of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated "Series B Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred") and Eleven Million One Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand (11,182,000) of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated "Series C Preferred Stock" (the "Series C Preferred"). The Series A Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred, Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred are collectively referred to herein as the "Series Preferred."
The rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series Preferred are as follows:
Section 1. Dividend Rights.
(a) Holders of Series C Preferred, in preference to the holders of the Series A Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred and Series B Preferred (together, the "Junior Preferred Stock") and in preference to the holders of any other stock of the Corporation (the "Junior Stock"), shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the "Original Issue Price" per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred
1
(as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares). In the event dividends are declared which pay in full the non-cumulative dividends on all Preferred Stock in a particular year, the Series C Preferred shall be entitled to share ratably in dividends, whether paid in cash, shares or otherwise, declared by the Corporation for the holders of Junior Preferred Stock and Junior Stock in excess of the total of all such non-cumulative dividends paid to holders of Preferred Stock on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis.
(b) After the full dividend preference for the holders of the Series C Preferred have been paid or declared as set apart for payment, but before payment of any dividends on the Junior Stock, the holders of Junior Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Junior Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, cash dividends at the rate of ten percent (10%) of the "Original Issue Price" per annum on each outstanding share of Junior Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares).
(c) The Original Issue Price of the Series A Preferred shall be two dollars ($2.00), the Original Issue Price of the Series A-1 Preferred shall be three dollars ($3.00), the Original Issue Price of the Series B Preferred shall be seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) and the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred shall be one dollar ($1.00). Such dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall be non-cumulative and shall be paid on a pro-rata, pari passu basis in proportion to the respective dividend rates therefor.
(d) So long as any shares of Series Preferred shall be outstanding, no dividend, whether in cash or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall any other distribution be made, on any Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of any Junior Stock of the Corporation be purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation (except for acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation or in exercise of the Corporation's right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer) until all dividends (set forth in Section 1(a) and 1(b) above) on the Series C Preferred and the Junior Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart. In the event dividends are paid on any share of Common Stock, an additional dividend shall be paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series Preferred in an amount equal per share (on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis) to the amount paid or set aside for each share of Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 1(d) shall not, however, apply to (i) a dividend payable in Common Stock, (ii) the acquisition of shares of any Junior Stock in exchange for shares of any other Junior Stock, or (iii) any repurchase of any outstanding securities of the Corporation that is approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors. The holders of the Series Preferred expressly waive their rights, if any, as described in California Corporations Code Sections 502 and 503 as they relate to repurchase of shares upon termination of employment or service as a consultant or director.
Section 2. Voting Rights.
(a) General Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the Series Preferred shall be voted equally with the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation and not as a separate class on all matters on which the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common Stock, in either case upon the following basis: each holder of shares of Series Preferred shall be entitled to such number of votes as shall be equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's aggregate number of shares of Series Preferred are convertible (pursuant to Section 4 hereof) immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent.
2
(b) Separate Vote of Series C Preferred.
(i) In addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred shall be necessary for effecting or validating the following actions:
(A) any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (including any filing of a Certificate of Determination), that affects adversely the voting powers, preferences, or other special rights or privileges, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the Series C Preferred;
(B) any authorization or any increase, whether by reclassification or otherwise, in the authorized amount of any class of shares or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series C Preferred in liquidation preference, voting or dividends;
(C) any redemption, purchase, repurchase, payment of dividends or other acquisitions or distributions with respect to Common Stock or Preferred Stock (except for acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation or in exercise of the Corporation's right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer);
(D) any transfer of material assets of the Corporation to any person other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation; or
(E) any Asset Transfer or Acquisition (each as defined in Section 3(e)).
(c) Election of Board of Directors. The authorized size of the Corporation's Board of Directors shall be set by resolution of the Board. The holders of Series C Preferred, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Series C Director") at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's shareholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such director and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such director; (ii) the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, as applicable, shall be entitled to elect the remaining members of the Corporation's Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's shareholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.
Section 3. Liquidation Rights.
(a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution or payment of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock or any Junior Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, a per share amount equal to the sum of (i) the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), (ii) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) for each 12-month period beginning on April 4, 2002, and (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares of Series C Preferred for each share of Series C Preferred held by them. If, upon any liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series C Preferred of the liquidation preference set forth herein, then such assets shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of Series C Preferred at the time outstanding, in proportion to the aggregate
3
preferential amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(a).
(b) After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred as set forth in Section 3(a) above, the holders of Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution or payment of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of any Junior Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount for each share of Junior Preferred Stock, equal to the sum of (i) the Original Issue Price of such series of Junior Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), and (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares of Junior Preferred Stock. If, upon any liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Junior Preferred Stock of the liquidation preference set forth herein, then such assets shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of Junior Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(b).
(c) After the payment of the full liquidation preferences set forth in Sections 3(a)-(b) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of Common Stock.
(d) The following events shall be considered a liquidation under Section 3:
(i) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Corporation's voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or any transaction or series of related transactions other than a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation (an "Acquisition"); or
(ii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (an "Asset Transfer").
(e) If the consideration distributed by this Corporation in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
(i) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (ii) below:
(A) if traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such quotation system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;
(B) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(C) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate
4
discount from the market value determined as above in (i)(A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(iii) This Corporation shall give each holder of record of the Series Preferred written notice of such impending transaction not less than ten (10) days prior to the shareholders' meeting called to approve such transaction.
Section 4. Conversion Rights.
The holders of the Series Preferred shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Series Preferred into shares of Common Stock:
(a) Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4, any shares of Series Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the "Series A Conversion Rate" then in effect (determined as provided in Section 4(b)) by the number of shares of Series A Preferred being converted. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series A-1 Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the "Series A-1 Conversion Rate" then in effect (determined as provided in Section 4(b)) by the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred being converted. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the "Series B Conversion Rate" then in effect (determined as provided in Section 4(b)) by the number of shares of Series B Preferred being converted. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series C Preferred shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the "Series C Conversion Rate" then in effect (determined as provided in Section 4(b)) by the number of shares of Series C Preferred being converted.
(b) Series Preferred Conversion Rate.
(i) The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series A Preferred (the "Series A Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price of the Series A Preferred by the "Series A Conversion Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(c).
(ii) The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred (the "Series A-1 Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price of the Series A-1 Preferred by the "Series A-1 Conversion Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(c).
(iii) The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series B Preferred (the "Series B Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price of the Series B Preferred by the "Series B Conversion Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(c).
(iv) The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series C Preferred (the "Series C Conversion Rate", together with the Series A Conversion Rate, the Series A-1 Conversion Rate and the Series B Conversion Rate, the "Series Preferred Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred by the "Series C Conversion Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(c).
(c) Conversion Price. The Series A Conversion Price shall initially be $1.316811. The Series A-1 Conversion Price shall initially be $1.480450. The Series B Conversion Price shall initially be $1.00. The Series C Conversion Price shall initially be $1.00. The Series A Conversion
5
Price, the Series A-1 Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price (together the "Series Preferred Conversion Price") each shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 4. All references to the Series Preferred Conversion Price herein shall mean the Series Preferred Conversion Price as so adjusted.
(d) Automatic Conversion.
(i) Each share of Series Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the then-effective Series Preferred Conversion Rate, upon the earlier to occur of (A) the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series Preferred voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, or (B) immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock in which the gross cash proceeds to the Corporation (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least $25,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering"). Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(d).
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series Preferred. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series Preferred by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock's fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors) on the date of conversion.
(f) Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series Preferred who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series Preferred, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Series Preferred being converted and shall state the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. In the event the automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(d), the outstanding shares of Series Preferred shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series Preferred are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. After receipt of the notice or after an automatic conversion in accordance with Section 4(d), the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and shall promptly pay in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock's fair market value determined by the Board of Directors as of the date of such conversion), any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series Preferred being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series Preferred to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant
6
to the Securities Act or an Acquisition or Asset Transfer, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of such transaction, in which event the holder entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such transaction.
(g) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the filing of this Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Effective Date") effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series of Series Preferred then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Series Conversion Price for each series of Series Preferred then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(g) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(h) Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series of Series Preferred then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance on the close of business on such record date, and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance on the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(h) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
(i) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than shares of Common Stock, or Convertible Securities (as defined below) and other than as otherwise adjusted pursuant to Section 4), in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series Preferred shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of other securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series Preferred been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series Preferred or with respect to such other securities by their terms.
(j) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series Preferred is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Acquisition or Asset
7
Transfer as defined in Section 3(c) or a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), in any such event each holder of Series Preferred shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series Preferred could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(k) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or the sale of all of substantially all of the Corporation's assets to any other person (other than an Acquisition or Asset Transfer as defined in Section 3(c) or as recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), then as a part of such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series Preferred the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series Preferred after the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Series Preferred Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series Preferred) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable. This Section 4(k) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers, consolidations and sales.
(l) Sale of Shares Below Series Preferred Conversion Price.
(i) If at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this subsection (l) to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), other than as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as provided in Section 4(h) above, and other than a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4(g) above, for an Effective Price (as hereinafter defined) less than the then effective Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series, the then existing Series Preferred Conversion Price for such series shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale,
(A) in the case of the Series A Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred and the Series C Preferred, to a price determined by multiplying the Series Preferred Conversion Price by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (as defined in subsection (l)(ii)) by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, or
(B) in the case of the Series B Preferred, to the price equal to the price paid per share for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
8
For the purposes of this Section 4(l), the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding shares of Series Preferred could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date, and (Z) the number of shares of Common Stock which could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all other rights, and Convertible Securities on the day immediately preceding the given date.
(ii) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 4(l), the consideration received by the Corporation for any issue or sale of securities shall (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined) or rights or options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Corporation for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.
(iii) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 4(l), if the Corporation issues or sells any rights or options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as "Convertible Securities") and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is less than the Series Conversion Price for any series, in each case the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion thereof; provided that if in the case of Convertible Securities the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, the Corporation shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses; provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Series Preferred Conversion Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights or
9
options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Series Preferred Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Series Preferred Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Series Preferred.
(iv) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 4(l), whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation other than (A) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series Preferred; (B) shares of Common Stock issued to employees, consultants or directors pursuant to incentive stock option plans approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors; (C) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding as of the Effective Date; (D) shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock or Preferred Stock; (E) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a Qualified Public Offering; or (F) shares of Common Stock that are otherwise excluded by vote or written consent of holders of at least a majority of the Series Preferred, voting as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. The "Effective Price" of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Corporation under this Section 4(l), into the aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the Corporation for such issue under this Section 4(l), for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(m) Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Series Preferred Conversion Price for each series the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series Preferred, if the Series Preferred is then convertible pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series Preferred at the holder's address as shown in the Corporation's books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Series Preferred Conversion Price at the time in effect, (iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series Preferred.
(n) Notices of Record Date. Upon (i) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
10
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any Acquisition (as defined in Section 3(c)) or other capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, or any Asset Transfer (as defined in Section 3(c)), or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of Series Preferred, at the address for such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(o) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series Preferred. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series Preferred, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(p) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation.
(q) Payment of Taxes. The Corporation will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series Preferred, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series Preferred so converted were registered.
Section 5. No Reissuance of Series Preferred. No share or shares of Series Preferred acquired by the Corporation by reason of purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.
Section 6. No Preemptive Rights. Shareholders shall have no preemptive rights except as granted by the Corporation pursuant to written agreements.
Section 7. Redemption. The Series Preferred is not redeemable.
11
IV.
The liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
The Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as defined in Section 317 of the California Corporations Code) for breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders through bylaw provisions, agreements with agents, votes of shareholders or disinterested directors or any or all of the above, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the General Corporation Law of California, subject to the limits on such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the General Corporation Law of California. If, after the effective date of this Article, California law is amended in a manner which permits a corporation to limit the monetary or other liability of its directors or to authorize indemnification of, or advancement of such defense expenses to, its directors or to authorize indemnification of, or advancement of such defense expenses to, its directors or other persons, in any such case to a greater extent than is permitted on such effective date, the references in this Article to "California law" shall to that extent be deemed to refer to California law as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of this Article shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to liability."
THREE: The foregoing amendment and restatement of the articles of incorporation has been duly approved by the Board of Directors of this Corporation.
FOUR: The foregoing amendment and restatement of the articles of incorporation has been duly approved by the required vote of shareholders in accordance with Sections 902 and 903 of the California Corporations Code. The Corporation has two classes of stock outstanding and such classes of stock are entitled to vote with respect to the amendment herein set forth. The total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation is 16,269,238, the total number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred is 4,500,000, the total number of outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred is 1,070,666, the total number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred is 666,665 and the total number of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred is 11,182,000. The number of shares voting in favor of the amendment equaled or exceeded the vote required. The percentage vote required was more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together on an as converted to Common Stock basis, more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, and more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred, in each case, voting separately as a single class.
The undersigned, Euan Thompson and Robert McNamara, the President and Assistant Secretary, respectively, of Accuray Incorporated, declare under penalty of perjury that the matters set out in the foregoing Certificate are true of their own knowledge.

The principal executive office for the transaction of the business of the corporation is hereby fixed and located at 3300 Keller Street, Bldg. 101, City of Santa Clara, County of Santa Clara, State of California. The Board of Directors is hereby granted full power and authority to change said principal office from one location to another.
Section 1.2 Other Offices.
Branch or subordinate offices may at any time be established by the Board of Directors at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.
ARTICLE II.
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 2.1 Place of Meetings.
All meetings of shareholders shall be held either at the principal executive office or at any other place within or without the State of California which may be designated either by the Board of Directors or by the written consent of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote thereat as determined pursuant to Section 6.1 of these By-Laws given either before or after the meeting.
Section 2.2 Annual Meetings.
The annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on such day and at such hour as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. At such meeting, Directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted.
Section 2.3 Special Meetings.
Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or by the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the meeting. Notice of such special meeting shall be given in the same manner as for the annual meeting of shareholders. Notices of any special meetings shall specify in addition to the place, date and hour of such meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat.
Section 2.4 Notice of Meetings or Reports.
Written notice of each meeting of shareholders shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat. Such notice shall be given either personally or by mail or other means of written communication, addressed or delivered to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by him to the corporation for the purpose of such
1
notice. If no such address appears or is given, notice shall be given either personally or by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the shareholder at the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is located, or by publication at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said office is located. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication.
The same procedure for the giving of notice shall apply to the giving of any report to shareholders.
All such notices shall state the place, the date and the hour of such meeting, and shall state such matters, if any, as may be expressly required by the California Corporations Code.
Upon request by any person or persons entitled to call a special meeting, the Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President or Secretary shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote that a special meeting will be held at a time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, but not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request.
All other notices shall be sent by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or if there be no such officer, or in the case of his neglect or refusal to act, by any other officer, or by persons calling the meeting.
Section 2.5 Adjourned Meetings and Notice Thereof.
Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, represented either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 2.7 of these By-Laws.
When a shareholders' meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; except that if the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat.
At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 2.6 Voting.
Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation and subject to Section 6.1 of these By-Laws, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. Vote may be viva voce or by ballot; provided, however, that elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at the meeting and before the voting begins.
Every shareholder entitled to vote at any election for Directors may cumulate his votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the number of votes to which his shares are entitled, or to distribute his votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he thinks fit, provided that no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes unless such candidate or candidates names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of the shareholder's intention to cumulate the shareholder's votes. If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination. The candidates receiving the highest number of
2
votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them, up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares, shall be elected.
Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, other than elections to office, but, if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is voting affirmatively, it shall be conclusively presumed that the shareholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares said shareholder is entitled to vote.
Section 2.7 Quorum.
A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders.

All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; provided, that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law or these By-Laws to be included in the notice but not so included if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.
Section 2.9 Action Without Meeting.
Any action which may be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided, that except to fill a vacancy as provided in Section 3.6 of these By-Laws, Directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of Directors.

Section 8.1 Indemnification by Corporation.
Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative ("Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the California General Corporation Law, against all
12
expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.2 of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred by this Section shall include the right to be paid by the corporation expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by the California General Corporation Law; provided, however, that, if required by the California General Corporation Law, the payment of such expenses incurred by such person in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
Section 8.2 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.
If a claim under Section 8.1 of this Article VIII is not paid in full by the corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the California General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or it shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the California General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 8.3 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation.
The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the corporation.
Section 8.4 Rights Not Exclusive.

Section 8.5 Indemnity Agreements.
The Board of Directors is authorized to enter into a contract with any Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or any person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
13
enterprise, including employee benefit plans, or any person who was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines, greater than, those provided for in this Article VIII.
Section 8.6 Insurance.
The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation (including a predecessor corporation), partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the California Corporations Code.
Section 8.7 Amendment, Repeal or Modification.
Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VIII by the shareholders or the Directors of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director or officer of the corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.
Section 9.1 Power of Shareholders.
New By-Laws may be adopted or these By-Laws may be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote or by the written consent thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation.

(a) "Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.
(b) "Commission" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal agency at the time administering the Act.
(c) "Common Stock" or "Common" shall mean shares of the Company's presently or subsequently authorized Common Stock, and any stock into which such Common Stock may hereafter be exchanged.
(d) "Company" shall mean ACCURAY INCORPORATED, a California corporation, and any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of ACCURAY INCORPORATED under this Warrant
(e) "Date of Grant" shall mean 9 August 2002.
(f) "Exercise Date" shall mean the effective date of the delivery of the Notice of Exercise pursuant to Sections 4 and 11 below.
(g) "Holder" shall mean any person who shall at the time be the registered holder of this Warrant.
(h) "Shares" shall mean shares of Common purchased or purchasable by the Holder under this Warrant.
2. Issuance of Warrant and Consideration Therefor. This Warrant is issued in consideration of the payment of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and of the Holder's surrender concurrently with the issuance by the Company of this Warrant of warrant number C-4, expiring 1 November 2004, to purchase 225,000 shares of the common stock of the Company at $0.75 per share.
3. Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable only during the period commencing upon the Date of Grant and ending on the earliest of (a) fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant, (b) the closing of an underwritten public offering of the Company's Common Stock registered under the Act, or (c) upon the closing of a consolidation or merger of the Company (other than with its parent or wholly-owned subsidiary) with or into, or the transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to, another corporation (unless the owners of the capital stock of the Company, prior to such transaction, continue to own a majority of the capital stock of the surviving corporation).
4. Method of Exercise and Payment.
(a) Method of Exercise Subject to Section 3 hereof and compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time to time, by the Holder by (i) surrender of this Warrant and delivery of the Notice of Exercise (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), duly executed, at the principal office of the Company and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the product of the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased pursuant to one of the payment methods permitted under Section 4(b) below.
(b) Method of Payment. Payment shall be made either (1) by check drawn on a United States bank and for United States funds made payable to the Company, or (2) by wire transfer of United States funds for the account of the Company.
(c) Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a properly endorsed notice of exercise and notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares of Common computed using the following formula:
X =Y(AB)/A
Where X = the number of Shares of Common to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Shares of Common purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation),
A = the fair market value of one share of the Common (at the date of such calculation), and
B = the Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For the purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common shall be determined by agreement of the Company and the Holder or, failing such agreement, by a qualified business appraiser acceptable to the Company and the Holder; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Common at the time of such exercise, fair market value shall mean the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days (or such fewer number of days as such public market has existed) of the mean of the high closing bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter market as reported by Nasdaq, or if then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days (or such fewer number of days as the Common has been so traded) of the mean of the high and low prices on the principal national securities exchange or the National Market on which it is so traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company's initial public offering of Common, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company's initial public offering.
(d) Delivery of Certificate. In the event of any exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within thirty
2
(30) days of delivery of the Notice of Exercise and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new warrant representing the portion of the Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such thirty (30) day period.
(e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional Shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the fair market value per Share as of the date of exercise.
(f) Company's Representations.
5. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Adjustment for Dividends in Stock. In case at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof the holders of the Common of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock of the Company by way of dividend, then, and in each case, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock of the Company which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Common on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such Shares and/or all other additional
3
stock receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this Paragraph 5.
(b) Adjustment for Reclassification or Reorganization. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company on or after the date hereof, then, and in each such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change or reorganization, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of or in addition to the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in subparagraphs (a), (c) and (d) of this Paragraph 5.; in each such case, the terms of this Paragraph 5 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
(c) Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If, at any time on or after the date hereof, the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Shares of Common into a greater number of Shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall thereby be proportionately reduced and the number of Shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall thereby be proportionately increased; and, conversely, if at any time on or after the date hereof the outstanding number of Shares of Common shall be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall thereby be proportionately increased and the number of Shares receivable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.
(d) Merger, Sale of Assets, Etc. If, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of Shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Warrant Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Paragraph 5. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for Shares in connection with any such transaction is in the form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined by agreement of the Company and the Holders of Warrants representing two-thirds of all Common Shares purchasable under this and all similar Warrants or, failing such agreement, by a qualified business appraiser acceptable to the Company and the said Holders. In all events, appropriate adjustment (determined as aforesaid) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any Shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
4
6. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of (a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution (the "Distribution"), (b) any capital reorganization or reclassification of the stated capital of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with any other corporation or corporations (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary), or the sale or distribution of all or substantially all of the Company's property and assets (the "Reorganization Event"), or (c) any proposed filing of a registration statement under the Act in connection with a primary public offering of the Company's Common Stock (the "Registration Event"), the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying (i) the date of any such Distribution stating the amount and character of such Distribution, (ii) the date on which any such Reorganization Event or Registration Event is expected to become effective, and (iii) the time, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of the Company's securities shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Company's securities for securities or other property deliverable upon such Reorganization Event. Such notice shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date therein specified
7. Compliance with Act; Transferability and Negotiability of Warrant; Disposition of Shares.
(a) Compliance with Act. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon the exercise hereof are being acquired solely for its own account (or a trust account if the Holder is a trust) and not as a nominee for any other party and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof, and that it will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon the exercise hereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act. Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Shares so issued are being acquired solely for its own account (or a trust account if the Holder is a trust) and not as a nominee for any other party and not with a view toward resale or distribution thereof. This Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon the exercise hereof (unless registered under the Act) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN ELECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.
In addition, this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon the exercise hereof shall bear any legends required by the securities laws of any applicable states.
(b) Transferability and Negotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions satisfactory to the Company, if requested by the Company, and the transfer is to a person other than a general partner of the initial Holder). Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery; provided, however, that neither this Warrant nor the Shares purchasable with this Warrant may be transferred to any entity or person which the Company reasonably determines to be an actual or potential competitor of the Company. The Company shall act promptly to record
5
transfers of this Warrant on its books, but the Company may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(c) Disposition of Shares. With respect to any offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shares (or securities issued upon conversion of the Shares) acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Shares, except for any such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of Shares to a general partner of the initial Holder, the Holder and each subsequent holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of legal counsel for such holder, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act or any other federal or state securities laws) of such Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for such Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this subsection (c) that the opinion of legal counsel for the holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each certificate representing the Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144(k)) shall bear a restrictive legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act, unless, in the aforesaid opinion of legal counsel for the holder, such legend is not required in order to insure compliance with the Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
8. Rights of Shareholders. No Holder shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
9. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
10. Exchange of Warrant. Subject to the other provisions of this Warrant, on surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the
6
Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
11. Notices All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder, or vice versa, shall be deemed delivered and effective when given personally or mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such address as may have been furnished to the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, in writing by the Company or such Holder from time to time.
12. Waiver. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
13. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into in California and to be performed solely by California residents. The Company represents to the Holder that this Warrant constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
14. Titles and Subtitles; Forms of Pronouns. The titles of the Sections and Subsections of this Warrant are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing this Warrant. All pronouns used in this Warrant shall be deemed to include masculine, feminine and neuter forms.

(b) Limitations on Requested Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:
(c) Deferral. If (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the filing of a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities would be detrimental to the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then (in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(b)(v) above) the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, and, provided further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any twelve-month period.
(d) Other Securities. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e), include Other Registrable Securities, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.
(e) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to include all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1
5
shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein. If the Company shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 of securities being sold for its own account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company's and such person's other securities of the Company and their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2 (including Section 2.10). The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriters advise the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares to be included in the registration statement or underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among all Series C Holders requesting to include Series C Registrable Securities in such registration statement or underwriting, on a pro rata basis according to the number of Series C Registrable Securities then outstanding and held by each Series C Holder requesting registration; (ii) second, after the inclusion of all the Series C Registrable Securities held by the Series C Holders requesting registration, then among all Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a on a pro rata basis according to the number of outstanding Registrable Securities held by each Holder requesting registration, assuming such Registrable Securities were converted into Common Stock; (iii) third, after the inclusion of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders requesting registration, then among any Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a on a pro rata basis according to the number of outstanding Other Registrable Securities held by each Other Selling Stockholder requesting registration, assuming such Other Registrable Securities were converted into Common Stock; and (iv) fourth, after the inclusion of the Other Registrable Securities held by the Other Selling Stockholders requesting registration, to the Company which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other holders or employees of the Company.
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or Other Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), then the Company shall then offer to all Holders and Other Selling Stockholders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities or Other Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders and Other Selling Stockholders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.
2.2 Company Registration.
(a) Company Registration. If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3, a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate
6
reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated, as follows: (i) first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account, (ii) second, after the inclusion of all the securities being offered by the Company, to any Series C Holders requesting to include Series C Registrable Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Series C Registrable Securities held by such Series C Holders, (iii) third, after the inclusion of all the securities of the Company and the Series C Registrable Securities of the Series C Holders, then to the Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, on an as converted to Common Stock basis, and (iv) fourth, after the inclusion of all the securities of the Company and the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then to the Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Registrable Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Other Selling Stockholders, on an as converted to Common Stock basis; provided however
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall also be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. The Registrable Securities or other securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
7
2.3 Registration on Form S-3.
(a) Request for Form S-3 Registration. After its Initial Public Offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2 and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3, if the Company shall receive from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request that the Company effect any registration on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement with respect to all or part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders), the Company will take all such action with respect to such Registrable Securities as required by Section 2.1(a)(i) and (ii).
(b) Limitations on Form S-3 Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3:
(c) Deferral. The provisions of Section 2.1(c) shall apply to any registration pursuant to this Section 2.3.
(d) Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 2.3 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Sections 2.1(e) shall apply to such registration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as requests for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.
2.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 hereof shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or because a sufficient number of Holders shall have withdrawn so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 are no longer satisfied (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata among each other based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the holders of securities included in such registration pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered.
2.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 2, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) Keep such registration effective for a period ending on the earlier of the date which is sixty (60) days from the effective date of the registration statement or such time as the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto.
8
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above;
(c) Furnish such number of prospectuses, including any preliminary prospectuses, and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdiction as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing, and following such notification promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing;
(f) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and
(h) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, enter into an underwriting agreement in form reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of Common Stock, provided such underwriting agreement contains reasonable and customary provisions, and provided further, that each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
2.6 Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification, or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged
9
violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification, or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter, and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, any of such Holder's officers, directors, partners, legal counsel or accountants, any person controlling such Holder, such underwriter or any person who controls any such underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided, further that, the indemnity contained in this Section 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, directors, and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.6 exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.6, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying
10
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, without the written consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
2.7 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2.
2.8 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The holder of each certificate representing Registrable Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.8. Each Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Restricted Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until (x) the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Restricted Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.8 and Section 2.10, except for transfers permitted under Section 2.8(b):

(c) Each certificate representing Registrable Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE, INCLUDING A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING, AS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDERS OF THESE SHARES, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.
The Holders consent to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 2.8.
(d) The first legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 2.8(c) hereof stamped on a certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities and the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such Restricted Securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Restricted Securities if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances, which may, at the
12
option of the Company, include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, that such securities can be sold pursuant to Section (k) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
2.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information regarding the Company available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements; and

Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided that all officers, directors and holders of not less than one percent (1%) of the Company's securities are similarly obligated; and provided further that should the Company release any amount of securities, then this release shall be effected on a pro rata basis with respect to all Holders so obligated under this Section 2.10. The obligations described in this Section 2.10 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to the Company's employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with the second legend set forth in Section 2.8(c) hereof with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period. Each Holder agrees to execute a market standoff agreement with said underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.10.

13
given written notice prior to said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are intended to be transferred or assigned and (iii) the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations set forth in Section 2.10.

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of a majority in interest of the Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.
2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) such date, on or after the closing of the Company's first registered public offering of Common Stock, on which all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90)-day period, and (ii) three (3) years after the closing of a Qualifying IPO.
Section 3
Covenants of the Company
The Company hereby covenants and agrees, as follows:
3.1 Basic Financial Information and Inspection Rights. So long as an Investor is a Holder of not less than 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock splits, consolidations and the like) (each a "Major Investor"), the Company will furnish to such Major Investor the following reports:
(a) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter, consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year, and consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such year, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and audited and certified by independent public accountants of national standing selected by the Company;
(b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such quarterly period, and consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such quarterly period, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding quarterly periods of the previous fiscal year, subject to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments, all in reasonable detail and certified by the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, except such financial statements need not contain the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles;
(c) as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days prior to the start of each fiscal year, the Company will furnish each Major Investor with the Company's annual and quarterly budgets (including projected balance sheets and profit and loss and cash flow statements) on a month to month basis for such fiscal year.
3.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, at such Major Investor's expense, to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to examine its books of account and other
14
records, and to discuss the Company's affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by the Major Investor (the "Inspection Rights").
3.3 Aggregation of Stock. All Shares held or acquired by affiliated entities or persons shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
3.4 Confidentiality. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holders shall not have access to or the right to receive any confidential, trade secrets or classified information of the Company as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company shall not be required to comply with any information rights of Section 3.1 with respect to any Holder if the Company's Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith that such Holder is a competitor or an officer, employee, director or holder of more than ten percent (10%) of a competitor. Each Holder acknowledges that the information received by it pursuant to this Agreement is confidential and for its use only in connection with its relationship to the Company, and it will not misuse such confidential information or use such confidential information in violation of the Exchange Act or reproduce, disclose or disseminate such information to any other person (other than its employees or agents having a need to know the contents of such information, and its attorneys or other legal or financial advisors, who in each case shall be subject to confidentiality requirements at least as restrictive as those set forth herein), unless the Company has made such information available to the public generally or such Holder is required to disclose such information by a governmental authority.
3.5 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in this Section 3 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect after the closing of a Qualifying IPO.
Section 4
Waiver of Prior Rights Agreements
4.1 Amendment, Waiver and Termination of Prior Rights Agreements. Effective and contingent upon execution of this Agreement by the Company and the Investors, the Prior Rights Agreements, or such portions of those agreements as either explicitly or implicitly might be construed to grant any registration rights contrary to those rights set forth herein, are amended and restated in their entirety and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Prior Rights Agreements shall be terminated.
Section 5
Right of First Refusal
5.1 Right of First Refusal.
(a) Right of First Refusal. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 5.1, the Company hereby grants to each Series C Holder the right of first refusal to purchase such Series C Holder's Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to issue and sell. A Series C Holder shall be entitled to apportion the right of first refusal hereby granted it among itself and its partners, members and affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
(b) Notice of Right. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Series C Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Series C Holder shall have twenty (20) days from the date of delivery of any such notice to agree to purchase up to such Series C Holder's Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities, for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice, by delivering written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
15
(c) Right of Over-Allotment. In the event that the Investors fail to fully exercise the right of first refusal within such twenty (20) day period, each Investor fully exercising its right of first refusal may purchase, on a pro rata basis (calculated with respect to other fully exercising Investors only), the non-purchasing Series C Holder's or Series C Holders' Pro Rata Portion(s). The Company will promptly notify those Series C Holders fully exercising their rights of first refusal, in writing, of the availability of additional New Securities, and each of the fully-exercising Series C Holders shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to such Investor's pro rata portion of such additional New Securities.
(d) Lapse and Reinstatement of Right. The Company shall have sixty (60) days following the twenty (20) day period described in Section 2.1(b) and the additional ten (10) day period described in Section 2.1(c) to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Series C Holders' right of first refusal was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities within said sixty (60) day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Series C Holders in the manner provided above.
5.2 Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The right of first refusal granted hereunder may be assigned by a Series C Holder only to a transferee or assignee of not less than 100,000 shares of Series C Registrable Securities (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits and the like) then outstanding, provided that the Company is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after said assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such rights are being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of first refusal granted hereunder is assignable (i) between and among any Series C Holders; (ii) to an Affiliate of a Series C Holder or (iii) to a Series C Holder which is (A) a partnership to its partners or retired partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, (C) a corporation to its stockholders in accordance with their interests in the corporation or (D) to the Series C Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Series C Holder.
5.3 Termination of Right of First Refusal. The right of first refusal granted under Section 5.1 of this Agreement shall expire immediately prior to the earlier of: (i) any reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction (or series of related transactions) in which the outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions represents less than a majority of the voting power of (1) the surviving entity or, (2) the parent of such surviving entity if the surviving entity is owned by such parent, immediately following such transaction or series of related transactions; (ii) the consummation of an Qualifying IPO.
6.1 Amendment. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Agreement and signed by the Company and the Holders of two-thirds in interest of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination operates in a manner that treats any Holder different from other Holders, the consent of such Holder shall also be required for such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. Any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder and each future holder of all such securities of Holder. Each Holder acknowledges that by the
16
operation of this paragraph, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate all rights of such Holder under this Agreement.
6.2 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger addressed:
(a) if to an Investor, at the Investor's address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as shown in the Company's records, as may be updated in accordance with the provisions hereof;
(b) if to any Holder, at such address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as shown in the Company's records, or, until any such holder so furnishes an address, facsimile number or electronic mail address to the Company, then to and at the address of the last holder of such shares for which the Company has contact information in its records; or
(c) if to the Company, one copy should be sent to 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, (415) 716-4600, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Investors, with a copy to Michael Hall, Latham & Watkins, 135 Commonwealth Dr., Menlo Park, California 94025.
Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given when delivered if delivered personally, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or 72 hours after the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid or, if sent by facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or, if sent by electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery when directed to the electronic mail address set forth on the Schedule of Investors.
6.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into among California residents to be performed entirely within California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
6.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and any and all rights, duties and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned, transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any Investor without the prior written consent of the Company. Any attempt by an Investor without such permission to assign, transfer, delegate or sublicense any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this Agreement shall be void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
6.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof. No party hereto shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner with regard to the subjects hereof or thereof by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein.
6.6 Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-defaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party to this Agreement, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
17
6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
6.8 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to sections, paragraphs and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs hereof and exhibits attached hereto.
6.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties that execute such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
6.10 Telecopy Execution and Delivery. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto and delivered by such party by facsimile or any similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen. Such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party hereto, all parties hereto agree to execute and deliver an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction hereof.
6.11 Jurisdiction; Venue. With respect to any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state courts in Santa Clara County in the State of California (or in the event of exclusive federal jurisdiction, the courts of the Northern District of California).
6.12 Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver, by the proper exercise of its corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other powers, all such other and additional instruments and documents and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary to more fully effectuate this Agreement.
6.13 Termination Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement (excluding any then-existing obligations) shall terminate upon (a) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes) other than a transaction or series of transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to retain (either by such voting securities remaining outstanding or by such voting securities being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), as a result of shares in the Company held by such holders prior to such transaction, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or series of transactions; or (b) a sale, lease or other conveyance of all substantially all of the assets of the Company.
6.14 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws, the terms of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws, as the case may be, will control.
6.15 Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this
18
Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

2.2 Tenant shall have the right of first opportunity more particularly described on Exhibit "D" attached hereto.
ARTICLE 3.
DELIVERY OF DEMISED PREMISES
3.1 The Demised Premises are being leased "AS IS", with Tenant accepting all defects, if any, and Landlord makes no warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Demised Premises (without imitation, Landlord makes no warranty as to the habitability, fitness or suitability of the Demised Premises for a particular purpose nor as to the absence of any toxic or otherwise hazardous substances). This Section 3.1 is subject to any contrary requirements under applicable law; however, in this regard Tenant acknowledges that it has been given the opportunity to inspect the Demised Premises and to have qualified experts inspect the Demised Premises prior to the execution of this lease.

ARTICLE 4.
RENT
4.1 Intentionally deleted.
4.2 Rental shall accrue from the Rent Commencement Date, and shall be payable to Landlord at Agent's address specified in Section 1.1(g) above or at such other address as Landlord shall so notify Tenant from time to time.
4.3 Tenant shall pay to Landlord minimum guaranteed rental in monthly installments in the amounts specified in Section 1.1(l) of this lease. The first such monthly installment shall be due and payable upon execution of this lease by Tenant, and subsequent installments shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the lease term following the Rent Commencement Date; provided that if the Rent Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, there shall be due and payable on or before such date as minimum guaranteed rental for the balance of such calendar month a sum equal to that proportion of the rent specified for the first full calendar month as herein provided, which the number of days from the Rent Commencement Date to the end of the calendar month during which the Rent Commencement Date shall fall bears to the total number of days in such month. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, if assessed by the jurisdiction in which the Industrial Complex is located, any sales, excise or other tax imposed, assessed or levied in connection with Tenant's payment of rents.
4.4 It is understood that the minimum guaranteed rental is payable on or before the first day of each calendar month following the Rent Commencement Date (in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above), without offset or deduction of any nature. In the event any rental is not received within five (5) days after written notice, or if any rental payment is by check which is returned for insufficient funds, then in addition to the past due amount Tenant shall pay to Landlord one of the following (the choice to be at the sole option of Landlord unless one of the choices is improper under applicable law, in which event the other alternative will automatically be deemed to have been selected): (a) a late charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the rental then due, in order to compensate Landlord for its administrative and other overhead expenses; or (b) interest on the rental then due at the maximum contractual rate which could legally be charged in the event of a loan of such rental to Tenant (but in no event to exceed 11/2% per month), such interest to accrue continuously on any unpaid balance due to Landlord by Tenant during the period commencing with the rental due date and terminating with the date on which Tenant makes full payment of all amounts owing to Landlord at the time of said payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such five (5)-day notice period shall not be available to Tenant more than once in any twelve (12)-month period, following which (i.e. on the second (2nd) such occurrence and thereafter) the late charge or interest shall be imposed immediately following failure to pay minimum guaranteed rental when due. Any such late charge or interest
4
payment shall be payable as additional rental under this lease, shall not be considered a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant hereunder, and shall be payable immediately on demand.
4.5 If Tenant fails in two (2) consecutive months to make rental payments within five (5) days after it is due, Landlord, in order to reduce its administrative costs, may require, by giving written notice to Tenant (and in addition to any late charge or interest accruing pursuant to Section 4.4 above, as well as any other rights and remedies accruing pursuant to Article 22 or Article 23 below, or any other provision of this lease or at law), that minimum guaranteed rentals are to be paid quarterly in advance instead of monthly, and that all future rental payments are to be made on or before the due date by cash, cashier's check, or money order and that the delivery of Tenant's personal or corporate check will no longer constitute a payment of rental as provided in this lease. Any acceptance of a monthly rental payment or of a personal or corporate check thereafter by Landlord shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of said rights.
4.6 Tenant shall pay when due any and all sales taxes levied, imposed or assessed by the United States of America, the State of California, or any political subdivision thereof or other taxing authority upon the minimum guaranteed rental, additional rent and all other sums payable hereunder.
ARTICLE 5.
FINANCIAL REPORTS
5.1 Tenant shall, promptly following request by Landlord from time to time, but not more often than once per calendar year, furnish a true and accurate audited statement of its financial condition prepared in conformity with recognized accounting principles and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. In addition, Landlord may from time to time request of Tenant copies of Tenant's most recent unaudited quarterly financial statements, which shall be delivered to Landlord promptly.
ARTICLE 6.
TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES, OTHER REAL ESTATE CHARGES AND INSURANCE EXPENSES
6.1 Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Demised Premises which taxes shall be paid when due and before any delinquency. If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Demised Premises and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.
6.2 Tenant shall also be liable for Tenant's Proportionate Share (as specified in Section 1.1(r) above) of all "real estate charges" (as defined below) and "insurance expenses" (as defined below) related to the Industrial Complex or Landlord's ownership of the Industrial Complex. Tenant's obligations under this Section 6.2 shall be prorated during any partial year (i.e., the first year and the last year of the lease term). Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by Landlord in the event that the total rentable area of the buildings in the Industrial Complex shall change after the date hereof. "Real estate charges" shall include ad valorem taxes, general and special assessments, parking surcharges, any tax or charge for governmental services (such as street maintenance or fire protection) which are attributable to the transfer or transaction directly or indirectly represented by this lease, by any sublease or assignment hereunder or by other leases in the Industrial Complex or by any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring (or reflecting the creation or transfer of) any interest or an estate in the Demised Premises and any tax or charge which replaces or is in addition to any of such above-described "real estate charges"; real estate charges shall also include any fees, expenses or costs (including attorneys' fees, expert fees and the like) incurred by Landlord in protesting or contesting any assessments levied or the tax rate. "Real estate charges" shall not be deemed to include sales tax payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.6 above and
5
any franchise, estate, inheritance or general income tax. "Insurance expenses" shall include all premiums and other expenses incurred by Landlord for liability insurance and fire and extended coverage property insurance (plus whatever endorsements or special coverages which Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, may consider appropriate) business interruption, and rent loss, earthquake and any other insurance policy which may be carried by Landlord insuring the Demised Premises, the Common Area, the Industrial Complex, or any improvements thereon.
6.3 At Landlord's sole option, Landlord and Tenant shaft attempt to obtain separate assessments for Tenant's obligations pursuant to Section 6.1 and, with respect to Section 6.2, for such of the "real estate charges" as are readily susceptible of separate assessment. To the extent of a separate assessment, Tenant agrees to pay such assessment before it becomes delinquent and to keep the Demised Premises free from any lien or attachment moreover, as to all periods of time during the lease term, this covenant of Tenant shall survive the termination of the lease. With regard to the calendar year during which the lease term expires, Landlord at its option either may bill Tenant when the charges become payable or may charge Tenant an estimate of Tenant's pro rata share of whichever charges have been paid directly by Landlord (based upon information available for the current year plus, if current year information is not adequate in itself, information relating to the immediately preceding year).
6.4 At such time as Landlord has reason to believe that at some time within the immediately succeeding twelve (12) month period Tenant will owe Landlord any amounts pursuant to one or more of the preceding sections of this Article 6, Landlord may direct that Tenant prepay monthly a pro rata portion of the prospective future payment (i.e., the prospective future payment divided by the number of months before the prospective future payment will be due). Tenant agrees that any such prepayment directed by Landlord shall be due and payable monthly on the same day that minimum guaranteed rental is due.
6.5 In the event that any payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not received within five (5) days after its due date for any reason whatsoever, or if any such payment is by check which is returned for insufficient funds, then in addition to the amount then due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on the amount then due at the maximum contractual rate which could legally be charged in the event of a loan of such amount to Tenant (but in no event to exceed 1-1/2% per month), such interest to accrue continuously on any unpaid balance until paid.
ARTICLE 7.
COMMON AREA
7.1 The term "Common Area" is defined for all purposes of this lease as that part of the Industrial Complex intended for the common use of all tenants, including among other facilities (as such may be applicable to the Industrial Complex), parking areas, private streets and alleys, landscaping, curbs, loading areas, sidewalks, recreation/picnic areas, malls and promenades, lighting facilities, drinking fountains, meeting rooms, public toilets, and the like, but excluding (i) space in buildings (now or hereafter existing) designated for rental for commercial purposes, as the same may exist from time to time; (ii) streets and alleys maintained by a public authority; (iii) areas within the Industrial Complex which may from time to time not be owned by Landlord (unless subject to a cross-access agreement benefiting the area which includes the Demised Premises); and (iv) areas leased to a single-purpose user where access is restricted. In addition, although the roofs of the buildings in the Industrial Complex are not literally part of the Common Area, they will be deemed to be so included for purposes of (x) Landlord's ability to prescribe rules and regulations regarding same, and (y) their inclusion for purposes of common area maintenance reimbursements. Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the dimensions and location of the Common Area, as well as the dimensions, identities, locations and types of any buildings, signs or other improvements in the Industrial Complex. For example, and without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may
6
from time to time substitute for any parking area other areas reasonably accessible to the tenants of the Industrial Complex, which areas may be elevated, surface or underground.
7.2 Tenant, and its employees and customers, and when duly authorized pursuant to the provisions of this lease, its sub-tenants, licensees and concessionaires, shall have the nonexclusive right to use the Common Area (excluding roofs of buildings in the Industrial Complex) as constituted from time to time, such use to be in common with Landlord, other tenants in the Industrial Complex and other persons permitted by Landlord to use the same, and subject to rights of governmental authorities, easements, other restrictions of record, and such reasonable rules and regulations governing use as Landlord may from time to time prescribe. For example, and without limiting the generality of Landlord's ability to establish rules and regulations governing all aspects of the Common Area, Tenant agrees as follows:
(a) Tenant shall not solicit business within the Common Area nor take any action which would interfere with the rights of other persons to use the Common Area.
(b) Landlord may temporarily close any part of the Common Area for such periods of time as may be necessary to make repairs or alterations or to prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive rights.
(c) With regard to the roofs of the buildings in the Industrial Complex, use of the roofs is reserved to Landlord, or with regard to any tenant demonstrating to Landlord's satisfaction a need to use same, to such tenant after receiving prior written consent from Landlord.
7.3 Landlord shall be responsible for the operation, management and maintenance of the Common Area, the manner of maintenance and the expenditures therefor to be in the sole discretion of Landlord, but to be generally in keeping with similar industrial centers within the same geographical area as the Industrial Complex. Landlord shall be the sole determinant of the type and amount of access control services to be provided, if any. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for (i) any unauthorized or criminal entry of third parties into the Demised Premises or Industrial Complex, (ii) any damage to persons or property, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or (iii) any loss of property in and about the Demised Premises or Industrial Complex from any unauthorized or criminal acts of third parties, regardless of any action, inaction, failure, breakdown or insufficiency of access control services.
7.4 In addition to the rentals and other charges prescribed in this lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of the cost of operation and maintenance of the Common Area which may be incurred by Landlord in its discretion (hereinafter, collectively "Common Area Charges"), including, among other costs, those for lighting, painting, cleaning, policing, inspecting, repairing and replacing; Tenant's Proportionate Share of capital expenditures and expenses incurred by Landlord to increase the operating efficiency of the Industrial Complex or to cause the Common Area to comply with applicable Regulations (as such term is defined in Section 27.1), it being agreed that the cost of such capital expenditures and installation shall be amortized over the reasonable life of the capital expenditure, with the reasonable life and amortization schedule being determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied; a reasonable portion of whatever management fee Landlord pays to the property manager for the Industrial Complex; a reasonable allowance for Landlord's overhead costs and the cost of any insurance for which Landlord is not reimbursed pursuant to Section 6.2, but specifically excluding all expenses paid or reimbursed pursuant to Article 6. In addition, although the roofs of the buildings in the Industrial Complex are not literally part of the Common Area, Landlord and Tenant agree that roof maintenance, repair and replacement shall be included as a common area maintenance item to the extent not specifically allocated to Tenant under this lease nor to another tenant pursuant to its lease. With regard to capital expenditures other than the capital expenditures contemplated by the first sentence of this Section, (i) the original investment in capital improvements, i.e., upon the initial construction of the Industrial Complex, shall not be included, and (ii) improvements and replacements, to the extent capitalized on Landlord's
7
records, shall be included only to the extent of a reasonable depreciation or amortization (including interest accruals commensurate with Landlord's interest costs). If this lease should commence on a date other than the first day of a calendar year or terminate on a date other than the last day of a calendar year, Tenant's reimbursement obligations under this Section 7.4 shall be prorated based upon Landlord's expenses for the entire calendar year. Tenant shall make such payment to Landlord on demand, at intervals not more frequent than monthly. Landlord may, at its option, make monthly or other periodic charges based upon the estimated annual cost of operation and maintenance of the Common Area, payable in advance but subject to adjustment after the end of the year on the basis of the actual cost for such year. Landlord has the right to establish as a reserve, such amounts as Landlord deems reasonable for the maintenance, repair and restoration of the roof and parking areas of the Industrial Complex. In the event that any payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not received within five (5) days after its due date for any reason whatsoever, or if any such payment is by check which is returned for insufficient funds, then, in addition to the amount then due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on the amount then due at the maximum contractual rate which could legally be charged in the event of a loan of such amount to Tenant (but in no event to exceed 1-1/2% per month), such interest to accrue continuously on any unpaid balance until paid. Any delay or failure of Landlord in delivering any estimate or statement described in this Section 7.4 or in computing or billing Tenant's Proportionate Share of the foregoing Common Area Charges shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to require an increase in rent as provided herein or in any way impair the continuing obligations of Tenant under this Section.
7.5 Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Common Area Charges will be divided into the three components set forth in Section 1.1(r) above. For the purposes of this lease, "Building Common Area Costs" shall consist of those Common Area Charges which Landlord determines pertain exclusively to the Building; "Parcel Common Area Costs" shall consist of those Common Area Charges which Landlord determines shall be shared among the buildings located on the same real property tax parcel as Tenant; and "Industrial Complex Common Area Costs" shall consist of those Common Area Charges which Landlord determines shall be shared among all the buildings at the Industrial Complex. For purposes of determining Tenant's Proportionate Share of Common Area Charges, (1) Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Building Common Area Costs shall equal a fraction the numerator of which shall be the square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the square footage of the Building; (2) Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Parcel Common Area Costs shall equal a fraction the numerator of which shall be the square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the square footage of all buildings located on the same real property tax parcel as Tenant; and (3) Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Industrial Complex Common Area Costs shall equal a fraction the numerator of which shall be the square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the square footage of all buildings at the Industrial Complex. Landlord and Tenant expressly acknowledge and agree that for purposes of calculating Tenant's payments of Common Area Charges, the percentages listed as Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Building Common Area Costs, Parcel Common Area Costs and Industrial Complex Common Area Costs in Section 1.1(r) above, respectively, are correct.
ARTICLE 8.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
8.1 Tenant acknowledges its obligation to deposit with Landlord the sum stated in Section 1.1(n) above, to be held by Landlord without interest as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this lease ("Security Deposit"). Tenant agrees that such Security Deposit may be commingled with Landlord's other funds and that such Security Deposit is not an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law, use such funds to the extent necessary to make
8
good any arrears of rentals and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by such event of default, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not then in default hereunder, any remaining balance of such Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant upon termination of this lease (subject to the provisions of Section 19.6 below). Tenant hereby waives the protections of Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code, as it may hereafter be amended, or similar laws of like import.
8.2 Alternatively, Tenant may fulfill its obligation to provide a Security Deposit under this lease by delivering to Landlord, either concurrently with the execution of this lease by Tenant, or at any later date during the lease term, an original irrevocable standby letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") in the amount specified in Section 1.1(n) above, naming Landlord as beneficiary, which Landlord may draw upon to cure any default under this lease or to compensate Landlord for any damage Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant's failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder. Any such draw on the Letter of Credit shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights of Landlord with respect to such default or failure to perform. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a major commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord, with a San Francisco or San Jose service and claim point for the Letter of Credit, have an expiration date not earlier than sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date (or, in the alternative, have a term of not less than one (1) year and be automatically renewable for an additional one (1) year period unless written notice of non-renewal is given by the issuer to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof) and shall provide that landlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, up to the face amount thereof. In addition, the Letter of Credit shall provide that, in the event of Landlord's assignment or other transfer of its interest in this lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without charge and without recourse, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and the bank shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or transferee. The Letter of Credit shall provide for same day payment to Landlord upon the issuer's receipt of a sight draft from Landlord together with Landlord's certificate certifying that the requested sum is due and payable from Tenant and Tenant has failed to pay, and with no other conditions, and otherwise be in form and content satisfactory to Landlord. If the Letter of Credit has an expiration date earlier than sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date, then throughout the term hereof, Tenant shall provide evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the Letter of Credit expires. If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, Tenant shall immediately replenish the Letter of Credit or provide Landlord with an additional letter of credit conforming to the requirements of this paragraph so that the amount available to Landlord from the Letter(s) of Credit provided hereunder is the amount specified above in Section 1.1(n). Tenant's failure to deliver any replacement, additional or extension of the Letter of Credit, or evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit, within the time specified under this lease shall entitle Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit then in effect. If no event of default (or breach that subsequently matures into an event of default) is outstanding at the expiration or termination of this lease, then within sixty (60) days after such expiration or termination, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit or the balance of the Letter of Credit proceeds then held by Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its covenants and obligations hereunder.
8.3 If Landlord liquidates the Letter of Credit as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 8.2 above, Landlord shall hold the funds received from the Letter of Credit as security for Tenant's performance under this lease, and Landlord shall not be required to segregate such Security Deposit from its other funds, and no interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto. Such funds shall be handled in a manner consistent with the terms of Section 8.1 above.
8.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 8 to the contrary, if Tenant has faithfully performed all of its obligations under this lease and is not then and has not been in default hereunder, then the amount of the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as applicable, may be reduced
9
to $150,000.00 after the occurrence of three (3) consecutive calendar quarters of profitability by Tenant, as hereafter defined, and as proven to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction following submission to Landlord by Tenant of documentation evidencing same.
8.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 8 to the contrary, if Tenant has faithfully performed all of its obligations under this lease and is not then and has not been in default hereunder, and the reduction described in Section 8.4 has occurred, then the amount of the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as applicable, may be reduced from $150,000.00 to $75,000 after the occurrence of two (2) additional consecutive calendar quarters of profitability by Tenant, as hereafter defined, and as proven to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction following submission to Landlord by Tenant of documentation evidencing same.
8.6 For the purposes of Sections 8.4 and 8.5 above, "consecutive calendar quarters of profitability by Tenant" shall be deemed to have been achieved if either of the following shall occur:
(a) Tenant is profitable for three (3) or two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, as applicable; or
(b) If Tenant is not profitable for one (1) [and only one] of the three (3) or two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, as applicable, but Tenant is sufficiently profitable in the calendar quarter immediately following it such that the sum of the net loss in the unprofitable calendar quarter plus the net income in the succeeding calendar quarter equals a positive result.
The calendar quarter preceding the Commencement Date (i.e., ending on June 30, 2003), if profitable, may count toward the three (3) calendar quarters required for Section 8.4 above.
ARTICLE 9.
USE AND CARE OF DEMISED PREMISES
9.1 The Demised Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for the permitted use specified in Section 1.1(o) above and for no other purpose. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and keep in effect during the term, all permits, licenses and other authorizations necessary to permit Tenant to use and occupy the Demised Premises for the permitted use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not use or store any gasoline or flammable or so called "Red Label materials in or about the Demised Premises. All equipment used within the Demised Premises shall be subject to approval by Landlord's insurance carriers and shall be Underwriters Laboratory or Factory Mutual approved for the uses intended, evidence of which shall be furnished to Landlord upon request. Tenant shall not operate any machinery or equipment in the Demised Premises which, in Landlord's sole discretion, shall cause any excessive noise, vibration, damage or disturbance to the other tenants in the Industrial Complex.
9.2 Tenant shall take good care of the Demised Premises and keep the same free from waste at all times. Tenant shall not over-load the floors in the Demised Premises, nor deface or injure the Demised Premises; provided, however, that Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant needs to reinforce or install anchors in the flooring in portions of the Demised Premises to accommodate Tenant's permitted use, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant's request for approval of same nor will Landlord require Tenant to remove at termination any such anchors or reinforcement which, after Tenant restoration, do not leave holes in the floor or cause the floor surface to be uneven. Tenant shall keep the Demised Premises and all sidewalks, service-ways and loading areas adjacent to the Demised Premises neat, clean and free from dirt, rubbish, ice or snow at all times. Tenant shall store all trash and garbage within the Demised Premises or in a trash dumpster or similar container approved by Landlord as to type, location and screening; and Tenant shall arrange for the regular pick-up of such trash and garbage at Tenant's expense (unless Landlord finds its necessary to furnish such a service, in which event Tenant shall be charged an equitable portion of the total of the charges to all tenants using the service). Receiving and delivery of goods and merchandise and removal
10
of garbage and trash shall be made only in the manner and areas prescribed by Landlord. Tenant shall not operate an incinerator or burn trash or garbage within the Industrial Complex.
ARTICLE 10.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF DEMISED PREMISES
10.1 Landlord shall keep the foundation, the exterior walls (except plate glass; windows, doors and other exterior openings; window and door frames, molding, closure devices, locks and hardware; special store fronts; lighting, heating, air conditioning, plumbing and other electrical, mechanical and electromotive installations, equipment and fixtures; signs, placards, decorations or other advertising media of any type; and interior painting or other treatment of the interior side of the exterior walls) and the roof (subject to the second sentence in Section 7.4 above) of the Demised Premises in good repair. Landlord, however, shall not be required to make any repairs occasioned by the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, invitees, customers, licensees and concessionaires (including, but not limited to, roof leaks resulting from Tenant's installation of air conditioning equipment or any other roof penetration or placement); and the provisions of the previous sentence are expressly recognized to be subject to the provisions of Article 17 and Article 18 of this lease. In the event that the Demised Premises should become in need of repairs required to be made by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall have a reasonable time after receipt by Landlord of such written notice in which to make such repairs. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption of Tenant's business or inconvenience caused due to any work performed in the Demised Premises or in the Industrial Complex pursuant to Landlord's rights and obligations under this lease, so long as the work is performed without gross negligence or willful misconduct

If the Alterations which Tenant causes to be constructed result in Landlord being required to make any alterations and/or improvements to other portions of the Industrial Complex in order to comply with any applicable Regulations, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in making such alterations and/or improvements. Any Alterations made by Tenant shall become the property of Landlord upon installation and shall remain on and be surrendered with the Demised Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence remove all or any portion of any Alterations made by Tenant which are requested by Landlord to be removed and repair and restore the Demised Premises in a good and workmanlike manner to their original condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Tenant's request, Landlord shall advise Tenant at the time of Landlord's approval of any Alteration requested by Tenant whether Landlord shall require that the Alteration be removed by Tenant from the Demised Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the lease term; provided, however, that in all events Tenant shall be obligated to remove the demonstration cell and the light lead shielding around same.

12
with all governmental requirements and Regulations, and in such manner as to cause a minimum of interference with other construction in progress and with the transaction of business in the Industrial Complex. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless against any loss, liability or damage resulting from such work, and Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord, furnish a bond or other security satisfactory to Landlord against any such loss, liability or damage.
11.3 In the event Tenant uses a general contractor to perform construction work within the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of such work, require said general contractor to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver and release of any and all claims against Landlord and liens against the Industrial Complex to which such contractor might at any time be entitled.

ARTICLE 13.
SIGNS; STORE FRONTS

Tenant and such other tenants shall allocate the cost of such utility amongst themselves and shall each be responsible for the payment of its allocable share. Landlord shall furnish and install all piping, feeders, risers and other connections necessary to bring utilities to the perimeter walls of the Demised Premises.

All payments for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. If the annual premiums charged to Landlord shall exceed the standard rates because Tenant's operations, the contents of the Demised Premises, or improvements made to the Demised Premises beyond standard improvements result in extra-hazardous exposure, Tenant shall pay the excess amount of the premium upon demand therefor by Landlord.
15.2 Tenant shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this lease, at its sole cost and expense, all of the following insurance coverages:
(a) Commercial General Liability Insurance providing coverage for bodily injury (including death), property damage and products liability insurance (where such exposure exists). This policy shall contain a broad form contractual liability endorsement under which the insurer agrees to insure Tenant's obligations under Section 16.2 and Article 21 hereof. Such insurance shall have a combined single limit of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence, or such greater amount as Landlord may from time to time require. If Tenant uses vehicles, owned and non-owned, in any way to carry out business on or about the Industrial Complex, Tenant shaft also maintain Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance; such insurance shall have a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for bodily injury and property damage.
(b) "All Risk" coverage insurance covering Tenant's personal property, fixtures, improvements, wall coverings, floor coverings, window coverings, signs, alterations, furniture, furnishings, equipment, lighting, ceilings, heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and interior plumbing against loss or damage by fire, flood, windstorms, hail, earthquakes, explosion, riot, damage from aircraft and vehicles, smoke damage, vandalism and malicious mischief and such other risks as are from time to time covered under "extended coverage" endorsements and special extended coverage endorsements commonly known as "all risks" endorsements, containing the waiver of subrogation required in Section 16.3 of this lease and in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof, with business interruption insurance covering the Demised Premises. Replacement value is understood to mean the cost to replace without deduction for depreciation.
(c) State Worker's Compensation Insurance in the statutorily mandated limits.
(d) Employer's Liability Insurance with limits of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for bodily injury per accident and each disease, per employee, and a total combined limit for bodily injury in amounts not less than One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) per accident and Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) per each disease, or such greater amount as Landlord may from time to time require.
(e) Plate Glass Insurance.
15
It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum limits of insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Tenant for its acts or omissions as provided in this lease. All of the foregoing insurance policies (with the exception of Worker's Compensation Insurance to the extent not available under applicable law) shall name Landlord, SSR Realty Advisors, Inc., the Agent identified in Section 1.1(g), any mortgagee, the managing agent for the Industrial Complex, and such other parties as Landlord shall from time to time designate, as additional insureds as their respective interests may appear, through an ISO Additional Insured Endorsement CG20261185 or equivalent, and shall provide that any loss shall be payable to Landlord and such other additional insured parties as their respective interests may appear. All insurance required hereunder shall be placed with companies which are rated A:VII or better by Best's Insurance Guide (or such other comparable publication if Best's is no longer published) and which are licensed to do business in the State of California. All such policies shall be written as primary policies with deductibles not to exceed the amount specified in Section 1.1(p) above: provided, however, that the deductible for the Plate Glass Insurance shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250). Any other policies, including Landlord's policy, will serve as excess coverage. Tenant shall deliver duplicate original copies of all such policies and all endorsements thereto (or certificates evidencing that the required insurance coverages and endorsements, including waiver of subrogation, are in full force and effect) to Landlord, prior to the Commencement Date, or, in the case of renewals thereto, fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the prior insurance policy, together with evidence that (1) such policies are fully paid for, and (2) no cancellation, material change or non-renewal thereof shall be effective except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice by registered mail from the insurer to Landlord, as well as to Landlord's managing agent (at the address for the payment of rent set forth in Section 4.2 above). Whenever, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, good business practice or change in conditions indicate a need for additional or different types of insurance, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Landlord's request therefor, obtain the insurance at its own expense. If Tenant should fail to comply with the foregoing requirements relating to insurance, Landlord may obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as additional rental hereunder the premium cost thereof plus interest at the maximum contractual rate (but in no event to exceed 1-1/2% per month) from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant.
15.3 In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall obtain certificates of insurance evidencing Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Completed Operations, Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance, Worker's Compensation Insurance and Employer's Liability Insurance in the amounts required above from any contractor or subcontractor engaged by Tenant for repairs or maintenance during the lease term, and such liability insurance shall name Landlord, SSR Realty Advisors, Inc., South Bay Development Company or any successor property manager or managing agent for the Complex, any mortgagee, and such other parties as Landlord shall from time to time designate, as additional insureds as their respective interests may appear, through an ISO Additional Insured Endorsement CG20261185 or equivalent, and shall provide that any loss shall be payable to Landlord and such other additional insured parties as their respective interests may appear.
ARTICLE 16.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY; MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBLETTING
16.1 Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant, nor to Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, nor to any other person whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property caused by the Demised Premises or other portions of the Industrial Complex becoming out of repair or by defect or failure of any structural element of the Demised Premises or of any equipment, pipes or wiring, or broken glass, or by the backing up of drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity, or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into the Demised Premises (except where due to Landlord's willful failure to make repairs required to be made
16
by Landlord hereunder, after the expiation of a reasonable time after written notice to Landlord of the need for such repairs), nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant, nor to Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, nor to any other person whomsoever, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other tenants of the Industrial Complex or of any other persons whomsoever, excepting only duly authorized employees and agents of Landlord. Landlord shall not be held responsible in any way on account of any construction, repair or reconstruction (including widening) of any private or public roadways, walkways or utility lines.
16.2 Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, or to any other person whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property on or about the Demised Premises or the Common Area caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, invitees, subtenants or licensees, or of any other person entering the Industrial Complex under express or implied invitation of Tenant (with the exception of invitees in the Common Area), or arising out of the use of the Demised Premises by Tenant and the conduct of its business therein, or arising out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of its obligations under this lease; and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, expense or claims arising out of such damage or injury. Furthermore, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, causes of action of any kind and nature arising or growing out of or in any way connected with Tenant's use, occupancy, management or control of the Demised Premises and Tenant's operations or activities in the Industrial Complex. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend any such claim, demand, cause of action or suit referenced hereinabove at Tenant's expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
16.3 Landlord and Tenant each hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the other, or to any other party claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any loss or damage to property caused by a casualty which is insurable under standard fire and extended coverage insurance; provided, however, that this mutual waiver shall be applicable only with respect to a loss or damage occurring during the time when property insurance policies, which are readily available in the marketplace, contain a clause or permit an endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair the policy or the right of the insured party to receive proceeds under the policy; provided, further, that this release shall not be applicable to the portion of any damage which is not reimbursed by the damaged party's insurer because of the "deductible" in the damaged party's insurance coverage. The release specified in this Section 16.3 is cumulative with any releases or exculpation's which may be contained in other provisions of this lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that all policies of insurance obtained by them pursuant to the terms of this lease shall contain provisions or endorsements thereto waiving the insurer's rights of subrogation with respect to claims against the other, and, unless the policies permit waiver of subrogation without notice to the insurer, each shall immediately notify its insurance companies of the existence of the waiver and indemnity provisions set forth in this lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this lease.
ARTICLE 17.
DAMAGES BY CASUALTY
17.1 Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord of any damage caused to the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty.
17.2 In the event that the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable under standard fire and extended coverage insurance and Landlord does not elect to terminate this lease as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises. In the event (a) the Building is
17
destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty not covered by Landlord's insurance, or (b) such Building is destroyed or rendered untenantable to an extent in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the first floor area by a casualty covered by Landlord's insurance, or (c) the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on such Building at the time of the casualty elects, pursuant to such mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, to require the use of all or part of Landlord's insurance proceeds in satisfaction of all or part of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, or (d) the Demised Premises shall be damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the cost of replacement, then Landlord may elect either to terminate this lease or to proceed to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of such election within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty, which notice shall include Landlord's reasonable estimate of the time needed to substantially restore the Demised Premises ("Landlord's Estimate"), and, if Landlord elects to rebuild and repair, Landlord shall proceed to do so with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 17.2, in the event (i) the Building is destroyed or rendered untenantable or (ii) the Demised Premises are substantially damaged and the repair of such damage will not (per Landlord's Estimate) be substantially completed within two hundred forty (240) days of the casualty, then Tenant may elect to terminate this lease without penalty by notice given to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Estimate (or prior thereto in the event the Demised Premises are destroyed or rendered untenantable). In the event that Landlord should fail to substantially complete such repairs and restoration by the date set forth in Landlord's Estimate, Tenant may elect to terminate this lease by written notice to Landlord ("Tenant's Termination Notice"), such termination to be effective thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of such notice; provided, however, that if within ten (10) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Termination Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it estimates that such repairs and material restoration can be completed within thirty (30) days after the original date estimated by Landlord, then Tenant's Termination Notice shall be void and of no further force and effect. If, however, Landlord does not complete such repairs and material restoration within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant may at its option and as its sole remedy for such delay terminate this lease by delivering written notice to Landlord, within ten (10) days after the expiration of said period of time, whereupon the lease shall end on the date of such notice or such later date fixed in such notice as if the date of such notice was the date originally fixed in this lease for the expiration of the term.
17.3 Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair under this Article 17 shall in any event be limited to restoring the Demised Premises to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to such casualty, exclusive of any alterations, additions, improvements, fixtures, signs and equipment installed by Tenant. Tenant agrees that promptly after completion of such work by Landlord, Tenant will proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant's sole cost and expense to restore, repair and replace all alterations, additions, improvements, fixtures, signs and equipment installed by Tenant.
17.4 Tenant agrees that during any period of reconstruction or repair of the Demised Premises, it will continue the operation of its business within the Demised Premises to the extent practicable. During the period from the occurrence of the casualty until Landlord's repairs are completed, the minimum guaranteed rental shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances; however, there shall be no abatement of the charges provided for herein.
17.5 Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and the provisions of any successor or other law of like import
ARTICLE 18.
EMINENT DOMAIN
18.1 If more than thirty percent (30%) of the floor area of the Demised Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, this lease shall terminate and the rent shall be
18
abated during the unexpired portion of this lease, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.
18.2 If less than thirty percent (30%) of the floor area of the Demised Premises should be taken as aforesaid, this lease shall not terminate; however, the minimum guaranteed rental payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this lease shall be reduced in proportion to the area taken, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority. Following such partial taking, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs or alterations to the remaining premises required to make the remaining portions of the Demised Premises an architectural whole, but in no event shall Landlord be required to expend an amount greater than the award actually received by Landlord in connection with such taking.
18.3 If any part of the Common Area should be taken as aforesaid, this lease shall not terminate, nor shall the rent payable hereunder be reduced, except that either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this lease if the area of the Common Area remaining following such taking plus any additional parking area provided by Landlord in reasonable proximity to the Industrial Complex shall be less than seventy percent (70%) of the area of the Common Area immediately prior to the taking. Any election to terminate this lease in accordance with this provision shall be evidenced by written notice of termination delivered to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.
18.4 All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof) of the Demised Premises or Common Area shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for Tenant's moving and relocation expenses or for the loss of Tenant's fixtures and other tangible personal property if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant as long as such separate award does not reduce the amount of the award that would otherwise be awarded to Landlord.
18.5 The rights contained in this Article 18 shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a taking or condemnation. Each party waives the provisions of Sections 1265.130 and 1265.150 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and the provisions of any successor or other law of like import.
18.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord may terminate this lease with no further liability to Tenant if (i) fifty percent (50%) or more of the gross leasable area of the Industrial Complex is taken or (ii) if following any taking, Landlord's mortgagee elects to require Landlord to apply all or a portion of such award to the outstanding indebtedness.
ARTICLE 19.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
19.1 Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this lease or any estate or interest therein, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or grant any license, concession or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord agrees that it will not withhold consent in a wholly unreasonable and arbitrary manner (as further explained in Section 29.4 of this lease); however, in determining whether or not to grant its consent, Landlord shall be entitled to take into consideration factors such as Landlord's desired tenant mix and the reputation and net worth of the proposed transferee. Further, Landlord shall not be required to consent to any assignment or sublease that would result in a violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Any purported assignment or sublease that would result in a violation of ERISA shall be void and of no effect. Landlord shall be entitled to charge Tenant a reasonable fee for processing Tenant's request. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights as to any subsequent assignments and sublettings. In all events, Landlord can refuse to consent to an assignment
19
or sublease if there shall exist any uncured default of Tenant or a matter which will become a default with the passage of time.
19.2 If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity and if at any time during the term of this lease the person or persons who own a majority of either the outstanding voting rights or the outstanding ownership interests of Tenant at the time of the execution of this lease cease to own a majority of such voting rights or ownership interests (except as a result of transfers by devise or descent), the loss of a majority of such voting rights or ownership interests shall be deemed an assignment of this lease by Tenant and, therefore, subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 19.1 above. The previous sentence shall not apply, however, if at the time of the execution of this lease, Tenant is a corporation and the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of Tenant are listed on a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market. Furthermore, the disposition and acquisition of shares in the initial public offering of the stock of the Tenant originally named herein, or the private placement of the stock of the Tenant originally named herein in connection with equity financing purposes only, shall not be deemed a violation of the terms of this Section 19.2.
19.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and without prejudice to Landlord's right to require a written assumption from each assignee, any person or entity to whom this lease is assigned including, without limitation, assignees pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Paragraph 101, et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), shall automatically be deemed, by acceptance of such assignment or sublease or by taking actual or constructive possession of the Demised Premises, to have assumed all obligations of Tenant arising under this lease effective as of the earlier of the date of such assignment or sublease or the date on which the assignee or sublessee obtains possession of the Demised Premises. In the event this lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord and shall remain the exclusive property of Landlord and not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant's estate within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All such money or other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.

19.4 Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent herein specified and for compliance with all of its other obligations under this lease (even if future assignments and sub-lettings occur subsequent to the assignment or subletting by Tenant, and regardless of whether or not Tenant's approval has been obtained for such future assignments and sublettings). Moreover, in the event that the rental due and payable by a sublessee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this lease, or if with respect to a permitted assignment, permitted license or other transfer by Tenant permitted by Landlord, the consideration payable to Tenant by the assignee, licensee or other transferee exceeds the rental payable under this lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord all such excess rental and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant from such sublessee, assignee, licensee or other transferee, as the case may be. Finally, in the event of an assignment or subletting, it is understood and agreed that all rentals paid to Tenant by an assignee or sublessee shall be received by Tenant in trust for Landlord, to be forwarded immediately to Landlord without offset or reduction of any kind; and upon election by Landlord such rentals shall be paid directly to Landlord as specified in Section 4.2 of this lease (to be applied as a credit and offset to Tenant's rental obligation).
19.5 Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest in this lease or in the Demised Premises.
19.6 In the event of the transfer and assignment by Landlord of its interest in this lease and in the Building to a person expressly assuming Landlord's obligations under this lease, Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of the Landlord for performance of such obligations. Any security given by Tenant to secure performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder may be assigned and transferred by Landlord to such successor in interest and Landlord shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.
19.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed subletting or assignment, to terminate this lease, or in the case of a proposed subletting of less than the entire Demised Premises for substantially all of the remaining term of this lease, to recapture the portion of the Demised Premises to be sublet, as of the date the subletting or assignment is to be effective. The option shall be exercised by Landlord giving Tenant written notice within twenty (20) days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice as required above. If this lease shall be terminated with respect to the entire Demised Premises, the term shall end on the date stated in Tenant's notice as the effective date of the sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this lease for the expiration of the term. If Landlord recaptures only a portion of the Demised Premises (in the event of a proposed subletting of less than the entire Demised Premises as above described), the minimum guaranteed rental during the unexpired term shall abate, proportionately, based on the minimum guaranteed rental due as of the date immediately prior to such recapture.
19.8 Tenant hereby waives any suretyship defenses it may now or hereafter have to an action brought by Landlord including those contained in Sections 2787 through 2856, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, as now or hereafter amended, or similar laws of like import.
ARTICLE 20.
SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPELS
20.1 Tenant accepts this lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien presently existing or hereafter placed upon the Industrial Complex or any portion of the Industrial Complex which includes the Demised Premises, and to any renewals, modifications and extensions
21
thereof and this subordination shall be self operative and no further instrument of subordination is needed. Tenant agrees that any mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its mortgage, deed of trust or other lien to this lease; provided, however, notwithstanding that this lease may be (or is made to be) superior to a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, the mortgagee shall not be liable for prepaid rentals, security deposits and claims accruing during or with respect to Landlord's ownership, any amendment or modification made to this lease without its prior written consent or any offsets or claims against Landlord; further provided that the provisions of a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien relative to the right of the mortgagee with respect to proceeds arising from an eminent domain taking (including a voluntary conveyance by Landlord) and provisions relative to proceeds arising from insurance payable by reason of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises shall be prior and superior to any contrary provisions contained in this instrument with respect to the payment or usage thereof. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate this lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien hereafter placed upon the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex as a whole, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such further instruments subordinating this lease as Landlord may request. If the holder of any mortgage, indenture or deed of trust or similar instrument (each a "Mortgagee") succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, upon request of any such Mortgagee, automatically become the tenant of and attorn to and recognize such Mortgagee as the landlord under this lease and will pay to it all rents and other amounts payable by Tenant under this lease, in accordance with the applicable terms of this lease. Notwithstanding that the foregoing provisions of this Section are self-operative, upon request of Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord and to such Mortgagee a subordination and attornment agreement in recordable form confirming the foregoing and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Landlord and such Mortgagee.
20.2 Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord and the holder(s) of any indebtedness secured by mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the Demised Premises shall have received written notice of such default and a reasonable time (not less than 60 days) shall thereafter have elapsed without the default having been cured.
20.3 Tenant agrees that it will from time to time, within seven (7) days of receipt of written request from Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a written statement addressed to Landlord (and to such other parties as may be designated by Landlord), which statement shall identify Tenant and this lease, shall certify that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), shall confirm that Landlord is not in default as to any obligations of Landlord under this lease (or if Landlord is in default, specifying any default), shall confirm Tenant's agreements contained above in this Article 20, and shall contain such other information or confirmations as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord is hereby irrevocably appointed and authorized as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such written statement on Tenant's behalf if Tenant fails to do so within seven (7) days after Tenant's receipt of a written request from Landlord to Tenant.
ARTICLE 21.
TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION
21.1 Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord's asset manager, Landlord's subasset manager, Landlord's partners, any subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord and the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, managers, independent contractors, attorneys and agents of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses, and all losses and damages (including consequential and punitive damages) arising from Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or other acts or things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Demised Premises, and shall further indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
22
Indemnitees from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this lease, or arising from any act, omission or negligence or willful or criminal misconduct of Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, independent contractor, guest, or invitee thereof, and from all costs, attorneys' fees and disbursements, and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding which may be brought against, out of or in any way related to this lease. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend any such claim, demand, cause of action or suit at Tenant's expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this lease, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Demised Premises from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims with respect thereto against landlord. Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord in case of casualty or accidents in the Demised Premises. The provisions of this Article 21 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this lease.
21.2 All personal property of Tenant, including goods, wares, merchandise, inventory, trade fixtures and other personal property of Tenant, shall be stored at the sole risk of Tenant. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Industrial Complex or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other places resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, or from the act or negligence of any other tenant or any officer, agent, employee, contractor or guest of any such tenant, except personal injury caused by or due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for interference with the electrical service, ventilation, or for any latent defect in the Demised Premises.
21.3 The parties hereto acknowledge that all or a part of the Demised Premises may be used for the storage and shipment of goods not owned by Tenant, and Landlord is not willing to enter into this lease unless Tenant indemnifies the Indemnitees to Landlord's satisfaction from any liability on the part of the Indemnitees to the owner(s) of such goods for damage to the same arising out of any acts or omissions of the Indemnitees. As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this lease, Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, obligations and damages imposed upon or incurred or asserted against the Indemnitees by reason of damage to goods of persons storing such goods with Tenant, notwithstanding the fact that such losses, claims, liabilities, obligations or damages may have been caused by the acts or omissions of Landlord. Tenant agrees that at all times during which it shall store goods not owned by it in the Demised Premises, it shall insure the indemnity described under this Section 21.3 in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord shall not be deemed a bailee, consignee, or warehouseman (or responsible for the standard of care incidental thereto) with respect to any goods stored or shipped to or from the Demised Premises for consignment or bailment and Tenant shall insert a cause to that effect in all warehouse receipts or consignment agreements for the storage or shipment of goods to or from the Demised Premises.
ARTICLE 22.
DEFAULT BY TENANT AND REMEDIES
22.1 The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this lease:
(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of rental or any other obligation under this lease involving the payment of money and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that for each calendar year during which Landlord has already given Tenant one (1) written notice of the failure to pay an installment of rental, no further notice shall be required (i.e., the event of default will automatically occur on the fifth (5th) day after the day upon which the rental was due); and provided further that any such
23
notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161, et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(b) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this lease, other than as described in Section 22.1(a) above, and either (i) shall not cure such failure within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Tenant (or if the noncompliance cannot by its nature be cured within the 15-day period, if Tenant fails to commence to cure such noncompliance within the 15-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion), or (ii) shall cure that particular failure but shall again fail to comply with the same provision of this lease within three (3) months after Landlord's written notice; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 et seq of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(c) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(d) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof; or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this lease thereunder.
(e) A receiver or Trustee shall be appointed for the Demised Premises (expressly excluding a receiver appointed for the Industrial Complex or any portion thereof because of a default by Landlord in any of its obligations with respect to the Industrial Complex or any loan encumbering same) or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants obligations under this lease.
(f) Tenant shall desert or vacate or shall commence to desert or vacate the Demised Premises or any substantial portion of the Demised Premises or at any time prior to the last month of the lease term shall remove or attempt to remove, without the prior written consent of Landlord, all or a substantial amount of Tenant's goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, or other personal property.
(g) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Demised Premises or upon all or any part of the Industrial Complex and Tenant shall have failed to release such lien of record by payment or by recording a proper bond by the date which is ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant of the imposition of such lien.
(h) Any transfer of a substantial portion of the assets of Tenant, or any incurrence of a material obligation by Tenant, unless such transfer or obligation is undertaken or incurred in the ordinary course of Tenant's business or in good faith for equivalent consideration, or with Landlord's consent.
(i) The default of any guarantors of Tenant's obligations hereunder under any guaranty of this lease, or the attempted repudiation or revocation of any such guaranty.
22.2 Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies to the extent permitted by law:
(a) Without any further notice or demand whatsoever, Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for the damages suffered by Landlord as a result of the event of default, plus interest on such amount at the maximum contractual rate which could legally be charged in the event of a loan of such amount to Tenant (but in no event to exceed 11/2% per month); and Landlord may pursue a monetary recovery from Tenant.
24
(b) Without any further notice or demand whatsoever, Landlord may take any one or more of the actions permissible at law to insure performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this lease. In this regard, and without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, it is agreed that if Tenant fails to open for business as required in this lease or, having opened for business, deserts or vacates the Demised Premises, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of such premises in order to protect them from deterioration and continue to demand from Tenant the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this lease, without any obligation to relet; however, if Landlord does, at its sole discretion, elect to relet the Demised Premises, such action by Landlord shall not be deemed an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Demised Premises unless Landlord expressly notifies Tenant of such acceptance in writing pursuant to this Section 22.2(b), Tenant hereby acknowledging that Landlord shall otherwise be reletting as Tenant's agent and Tenant furthermore hereby agreeing to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise between the monthly rentals and other charges provided in this lease and that actually collected by Landlord. In the event that Landlord shall elect to relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness (other than rent) due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting (including brokerage commissions); third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Demised Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should reletting, during any month to which such rent is applied, result in the actual payment of rentals at less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. Finally, it is agreed that in the event of any default described in Section 22.1(g) of this lease, Landlord may pay or bond around such lien, whether or not contested by Tenant; and in such event Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such action, with Tenant further agreeing that Landlord shall in no event be liable for any damages or claims resulting from such action. No action or inaction by Landlord including, without limitation, the re-entry or taking of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 22.2(b) shall be construed as an election to terminate this lease or as interference with Tenant's rights of possession, assignment or subletting unless a written notice of such election shall be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord, Landlord may, at any time after such reletting, elect to terminate this lease for any such default.
(c) Landlord may terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves reasonably could have been avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves reasonably could be avoided; plus
25
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this lease or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom, plus
(v) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law.
As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant's right of occupancy of the Demised Premises after any termination of this lease.
(d) In addition to all other rights and remedies provided Landlord in this lease and by law, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue the lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign the lease, subject to reasonable limitations).
22.3 It is expressly agreed that in determining "the unpaid rent" as that term is used throughout Sections 2.22(c)(i) and 22.2(c)(ii) above, there shall be added to the minimum guaranteed rental (as specified in Section 1.1(l) of this lease) a sum equal to the charges for maintenance of the Common Area (as specified in Section 7.4 of this lease), and the payments for taxes, charges and insurance (as specified in Article 6 of this Lease).
22.4 It is further agreed that, in addition to payments required pursuant to Sections 22.2(b) and 22.2(c) above, Tenant shall compensate Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord in repossession (including, among other expenses, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Demised Premises), all expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting (including, among other expenses, repairs, remodeling, replacements, advertisements and brokerage fees), all concessions granted to a new tenant upon reletting (including, among other concessions, renewal options), all losses incurred by Landlord as a direct or indirect result of Tenant's default (including, among other losses, any adverse reaction by Landlord's mortgagee or by other tenants or potential tenants of the Industrial Complex) and a reasonable allowance for Landlord's administrative efforts, salaries and overhead attributable directly or indirectly to Tenant's default and Landlord's pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under applicable law.
22.5 Landlord may restrain or enjoin any breach or threatened breach of any covenant, duty or obligation of Tenant herein contained without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy or irreparable harm. The remedies of Landlord hereunder shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of each other.
22.6 If on account of any breach or default by Tenant in its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall employ an attorney to present, enforce or defend any of Landlord's rights or remedies hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in such connection.
22.7 Intentionally deleted.
22.8 In the event of any default described in Section 22.1(d) of this lease, any assumption and assignment must conform with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and, in order to provide Landlord with the assurances contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant must fulfill the following
26
obligations, in addition to any other reasonable obligations that Landlord may require, before any assumption of this lease is effective: (i) all defaults under Section 22.1(a) of this lease must be cured within ten (10) days after the date of assumption; (ii) all other defaults under Section 22.1 of this lease other than under Section 22.1(d) must be cured within fifteen (15) days after the date of assumption; (iii) all actual monetary losses incurred by Landlord (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) must be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after the date of assumption; and (iv) Landlord must receive within ten (10) days after the date of assumption a security deposit in the amount of six (6) months minimum guaranteed rent (using the minimum guaranteed rent in effect for the first full month immediately following the assumption) and an advance prepayment of minimum guaranteed rent in the amount of three (3) months minimum guaranteed rent (using the minimum guaranteed rent in effect for the first full month immediately following the assumption), both sums to be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 22.7 above and deemed to be rent under this lease for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code as amended and from time to time in effect.
(a) In the event this lease is assumed in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and this lease, and is subsequently assigned, then, in addition to any other reasonable obligations that Landlord may require and in order to provide Landlord with the assurances contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall be provided with (i) a financial statement of the proposed assignee prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, though on a cash basis, which reveals a net worth in an amount sufficient, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to assure the future performance by the proposed assignee of Tenant's obligations under this lease; or (ii) a written guaranty by one or more guarantors with financial ability sufficient to assure the future performance of Tenant's obligations under this lease, such guaranty to be in form and content satisfactory to Landlord and to cover the performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this lease.
ARTICLE 23.
INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE 24.
HOLDING OVER
24.1 In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after the expiration of this lease and without the execution of a new lease or an amendment hereto, it shall be deemed to be occupying said premises as a tenant from month to month at a rental equal to the rental herein provided plus one hundred percent (100%) of such amount and otherwise subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so tong as Landlord does not have a letter of intent under negotiation (or executed) for some or all of the Demised Premises with a bona fide third party replacement tenant which desires occupancy or access to make tenant improvements during the holdover period, Tenant's holdover rent for the first month following the term expiration date shall be set at a rental equal to the rental herein provided plus fifty percent (50%) of such amount, and Tenant's holdover rent for the second month following the term expiration date shall be set at a rental equal to the rental herein provided plus seventy-five percent (75%) of such amount, in each case subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Neither any provision hereof nor acceptance by Landlord of rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall be deemed a consent to a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal of this lease or an extension of the term. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, (i) Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Demised Premises upon the expiration of the term of this lease or upon the earlier termination hereof, the right to reenter the Demised Premises, and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Tenant and collect
27
damages in connection with any such holding over, and (ii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees incurred or suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to surrender the Demised Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this lease in accordance with the provisions of this lease.
ARTICLE 25.
NOTICES
25.1 Wherever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice shall be in writing. Any notice or document required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered when actually received by the designated addressee or, if earlier and regardless of whether actually received or not, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties hereto at the respective addresses set out in Section 1.1 above (or at Landlord's option, to Tenant at the Demised Premises), or at such other addresses as they have theretofore specified by written notice.
25.2 If and when included within the term "Landlord" as used in this instrument there are more than one person, firm or corporation, all shall jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of such a notice specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of notices and payments to Landlord; if and when included within the term "Tenant" as used in this instrument there are more than one person, firm or corporation, all shall jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of such a notice specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of notices and payments to Tenant. All parties included within the terms "Landlord" and "Tenant," respectively, shall be bound by notice and payments given in accordance with the provisions of this Article to the same effect as if each had received such notice or payment. In addition, Tenant agrees that actions by Landlord and notices to Tenant hereunder may be taken or given by Agent, Landlord's attorney, or any other property manager or agent.
25.3 A copy of any notice or document required or permitted to be delivered hereunder to Landlord shall simultaneously be delivered to Agent.
ARTICLE 26.
COMMISSIONS
26.1 Tenant and Landlord warrant that they have had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with this lease, other than Agent and Tenant's Broker, whose commissions shall be paid by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant covenant to pay, hold harmless and indemnify each other from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other broker or agent utilized by the indemnitor with respect to this lease or the negotiation hereof:
ARTICLE 27.
REGULATIONS
27.1 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that there are now in effect and may hereafter be enacted or go into effect federal, state, county and municipal laws, orders, rules, directives and regulations relating to or affecting the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex, concerning the impact on the environment of construction, land use, maintenance and operation of structures, toxic or otherwise hazardous substances, and the conduct of business, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Clean Air Act and regulations issued thereunder (all of the foregoing, as amended from time to time, being herein called the "Regulations"). Tenant will not cause or permit to be caused, any act or practice, by negligence, omission or otherwise, that would adversely affect the
28
environment or do anything or permit anything to be done that would violate any of said Regulations. Moreover, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord by reason of any changes Landlord may make in the Industrial Complex or the Demised Premises pursuant to said Regulations or any charges imposed upon Tenant, Tenant's customers or other invitees pursuant to same. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant to the extent Landlord, acting in good faith, complies with any governmental law, regulation or order, including without limitation the USA Patriot's Act (also known as the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001").
27.2 If, by reason of any Regulations, the payment to, or collection by, Landlord of any rental or other charge (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Lease Payments") payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this lease is in excess of the amount (the "Maximum Charge") permitted by the Regulations, then Tenant, during the period (the "Freeze Period") when the Regulations shall be in force and effect shall not be required to pay, nor shall Landlord be permitted to collect, any sum in excess of the Maximum Charge. Upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Freeze Period, or (ii) the issuance of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declaring the Regulations to be invalid or not applicable to the provisions of this lease, Tenant, to the extent not then prescribed by law, and commencing with the first day of the month immediately following, shall pay to Landlord as additional rental, in equal monthly installments during the balance of the term of this lease, a sum equal to the cumulative difference between the Maximum Charges and the Lease Payments during the Freeze Period. If any provisions of this Section, or the application thereof, shall to any extent be declared to be invalid and unenforceable, the same shall not be deemed to affect any of the other provisions of this Section or of this lease, all of which shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
29
27.3 Tenant acknowledges that it will be wholly responsible for any accommodations or alterations which need to be made to the Demised Premises to accommodate disabled employees and customers of Tenant, including without limitation, the requirements under the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 and any equivalent California law. Any alterations made to the Demised Premises in order to comply with either statute must be made solely at Tenant's expense and in compliance with any terms and requirements of this lease. Landlord agrees to make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Common Area is in compliance with the applicable disability access laws as of the date hereof. If a complaint is received by Landlord from either a private or government source regarding disability access to the Common Area of the Industrial Complex, Landlord reserves the right to mediate, contest, comply with or otherwise respond to such complaint as Landlord deems to be reasonably prudent under the circumstances. If Landlord decides to make alterations to the Common Area of the Industrial Complex in response to any such complaints or in response to legal requirements Landlord considers to be applicable to the Common Area of the Industrial Complex, the cost of such alterations shall be included in the Common Area maintenance charge under this lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that so long as the governmental entity or entities charged with enforcing such statutes have not expressly required Landlord to take specific action to effectuate compliance with such statutes, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed to be in compliance with such statutes. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with written notice should Tenant become aware of a violation of such statutes with respect to the Common Area. In the event Landlord is required to take action to effectuate compliance with such statutes, Landlord shall have a reasonable period of time to make the improvements and alterations necessary to effectuate such compliance, which period of time shall be extended by any time necessary to cause any necessary improvements and alterations to be made.
ARTICLE 28.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
28.1 During the term of this lease, Tenant shall comply with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits (each as defined in Section 28.7 hereof) applicable to the operation or use of the Demised Premises, will cause all other persons occupying or using the Demised Premises to comply with all such Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, will immediately pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred by reason of such compliance, and will obtain and renew all Environmental Permits required for the operation or use of the Demised Premises.
28.2 Tenant shall not generate, use, treat, store, handle, release or dispose of, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage, handling, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 28.7 hereof) on the Demised Premises, or the Industrial Complex, or transport or permit the transportation of Hazardous Materials to or from the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex except for limited quantities used or stored at the Demised Premises and required in connection with the routine operation and maintenance of the Demised Premises, and then only upon the written consent of Landlord and in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits.
28.3 At any time and from time to time during the term of this lease, Landlord may perform an environmental site assessment report concerning the Demised Premises, prepared by an environmental consulting firm chosen by Landlord, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant and the potential cost of any compliance, removal or remedial action in connection with any such Hazardous Materials on the Demised Premises. Tenant shall grant and hereby grants to Landlord and its agents access to the Demised Premises and specifically grants Landlord an irrevocable non-exclusive license to undertake such an assessment. The cost of any such environmental site assessment shall be borne by Landlord unless (i) Landlord initiates same based on Landlord's reasonable belief that Tenant has caused or permitted a Hazardous Materials problem on or at the Demised Premises, (ii) the results of such assessment indicate that Tenant has caused or permitted a
30
Hazardous Materials problem on or at the Demised Premises, or (iii) such assessment is initiated by Landlord incident to the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant under this Article 28. If Tenant shall be held responsible for the costs of the assessment as above described, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord for the reasonable costs of such assessment on demand.
28.4 Tenant will immediately advise Landlord in writing of any of the following: (1) any pending or threatened Environmental Claim (as defined in Section 28.7 hereof) against Tenant relating to the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex; (2) any condition or occurrence on the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex that (a) results in noncompliance by Tenant with any applicable Environmental Law, or (b) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Tenant or Landlord or the Demised Premises; (3) any condition or occurrence on the Demised Premises or any property adjoining the Demised Premises that could reasonably be anticipated to cause the Demised Premises to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of the Demised Premises under any Environmental Law; and (4) the actual or anticipated taking of any removal or remedial action by Tenant in response to the actual or alleged presence of any Hazardous Material on the Demised Premises or the Industrial Complex. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, investigation, condition, occurrence or removal or remedial action and Tenant's response thereto. In addition, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all communications regarding the Demised Premises with any government or governmental agency relating to Environmental Laws, all such communications with any person relating to Environmental Claims, and such detailed reports of any such Environmental Claim as may reasonably be requested by Landlord.
28.5 Tenant will not change or permit to be changed the present use of the Demised Premises unless Tenant shall have notified Landlord thereof in writing and Landlord shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such change will not result in the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Demised Premises except for those described in Section 28.2 above.

(b) All sums paid and costs incurred by Landlord with respect to any Hazardous Materials Indemnified Matter shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) eighteen (18%) percent per annum, or (ii) the maximum legal rate of interest allowed in the State of California, from the date so paid or incurred until reimbursed by Tenant, and all such sums and costs shall be immediately due and payable on demand.

ARTICLE 29.
MISCELLANEOUS
29.1 Nothing in this lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
29.2 Tenant shall not for any reason withhold or reduce Tenant's required payments of rentals and other charges provided in this lease, it being agreed that the obligations of Landlord under this tease are independent of Tenants obligations except as may be otherwise expressly provided. The immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to deny Tenant the ability of pursuing all rights granted it under this lease or at law; however, at the direction of Landlord, Tenant's claims in this regard shall be litigated in proceedings different from any litigation involving rental claims or other claims by Landlord against Tenant (i.e., each party may proceed to a separate judgment without consideration, counterclaim or offset as to the claims asserted by the other party).
29.3 The liability of Landlord, any agent of Landlord, or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, or employees to Tenant for or in respect of any default by Landlord under the terms of this lease or in respect of any other claim or cause of action shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Industrial Complex, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Industrial
32
Complex for the recovery and satisfaction of any judgment against Landlord, any agent of Landlord, or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, and employees.
29.4 In all circumstances under this lease where the prior consent of one party (the "consenting party"), whether it be Landlord or Tenant, is required before the other party (the "requesting party") is authorized to take any particular type of action, such consent shall not be withheld in a wholly unreasonable and arbitrary manner; however, the requesting party agrees that its exclusive remedy if it believes that consent has been withheld improperly (including, but not limited to, consent required from Landlord pursuant to Section 19.1) shall be to institute litigation either for a declaratory judgment or for a mandatory injunction requiring that such consent be given (with the requesting party hereby waiving any claim for damages, attorneys' fees or any other remedy unless the consenting party refuses to comply with a court order or judgment requiring it to grant its consent).
29.5 Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by Landlord or Tenant, such party shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions or any other causes of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the reasonable control of such party, except for the payment of rent due hereunder.
29.6 If any provision of this lease should be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this lease shall not be affected thereby.
29.7 Intentionally deleted.
29.8 The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation, validity, performance and enforcement of this lease. Venue for any action under this lease shall be the county in which rentals are due pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 1.1 of this lease.
29.9 The captions used herein are for convenience only and do not limit or amplify the provisions hereof.
29.10 Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and words of any gender shall include each other gender.
29.11 All covenants and obligations contained within this lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, and its permitted successors and assigns.

No brochure, rendering, information or correspondence shall be deemed to be a part of this agreement unless specifically incorporated herein by reference. In addition, no agreement shall be effective to change, modify or terminate this lease in whole or in part unless such is in writing and duly signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, modification or termination is sought.
29.13 LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE NOT RELYING UPON ANY BROCHURE, RENDERING, INFORMATION, REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE OF THE OTHER, OR OF THE AGENT, EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.
29.14 No waiver of any of the terms, covenants, provisions, conditions, rules and regulations imposed by this lease, and no waiver of any legal or equitable relief or remedy, shall be implied by the failure of Landlord to assert any rights, declare any forfeiture, or for any other reason. No waiver of any of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, rules and regulations shall be valid unless it shall be in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord or forgiveness of performance by Landlord for one or more tenants shall constitute a waiver or forgiveness of performance in respect to Tenant.
33
Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval under this lease shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the term of this lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises, unless in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of the keys to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises. The acceptance of any rent by Landlord following a breach of this lease by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of such breach or any other breach unless such waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Landlord.
29.15 Tenant shall deliver and surrender to Landlord possession of the Demised Premises (including all of Tenant's permanent work upon and to the Demised Premises, all replacements and all fixtures permanently attached to the Demised Premises) immediately upon the expiration of the term or the termination of this lease in as good condition and repair as the same were on the delivery date (loss by any insured casualty and ordinary wear and tear only excepted) and deliver the keys at the office of Landlord or Landlord's agent; provided, however, that upon Landlord's request made at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the term, or the date Tenant is otherwise required to vacate the Demised Premises, Tenant shall remove all fixtures and equipment affixed to the Demised Premises by Tenant, and repair and restore the Demised Premises to their condition on the delivery date (loss by any insured casualty and ordinary wear and tear only excepted), at Tenant's sole expense, subject to the last sentence of Section 11.1 above. The removal shall be performed prior to the earlier of the end of the term or the date Tenant is required to vacate the Demised Premises.
29.16 Tenant shall not record this lease. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not record any memorandum of this lease, short form or other reference to this lease.
29.17 The submission of this lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Demised Premises or any other space in the Industrial Complex, and shall not vest any right in Tenant. This lease shall become effective as a lease only upon its execution and delivery by the parties.
29.18 LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THE DEMISED PREMISES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS LEASE OR ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS LEASE WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LANDLORD TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS LEASE.
29.19 If Tenant is a corporation (including any form of professional association), then each individual executing or attesting this lease on behalf of such corporation covenants, warrants and represents that he or she is duly authorized to execute or attest and deliver this lease on behalf of such corporation. If Tenant is a partnership (general or limited) or limited liability company, then each individual executing this lease on behalf of the partnership or company hereby covenants, warrants and represents that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this lease on behalf of the partnership or company in accordance with the partnership agreement or membership agreement, as the case may be, or an amendment thereto, now in effect.

EXHIBIT "D"
RIGHT OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY
On condition that Tenant has fully complied with all the terms and conditions of this lease and is not then in default under any of the terms and conditions of the lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have a one-time right of first opportunity to negotiate a lease amendment to expand the Demised Premises to incorporate the entirety of the adjacent 32,576 square foot space in the Building commonly known as 1314 Chesapeake Terrace (the "Adjacent Space") when Landlord notifies Tenant ("Landlord's Notice") that Landlord is ready to enter into lease negotiations for such space with a third party.
(a) When Landlord is about to enter into such lease negotiations, Landlord shall deliver Landlord's Notice of Tenant's opportunity to negotiate, and shall identify in Landlord's Notice the minimum guaranteed rental for the Adjacent Space. The annual minimum guaranteed rental payable by Tenant for the Adjacent Space for the remainder of the term shall be set at the then fair market rental value for the Adjacent Space as determined by Landlord in its sole good faith discretion. The lease term for the Adjacent Space shall be coterminous with the term for the Demised Premises and shall commence upon delivery.
(b) Tenant shall have (5) days from receipt of Landlord's Notice in which to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's decision and/or to negotiate an alternative minimum guaranteed rental amount. If Tenant accepts Landlord's proposal, or if the parties mutually agree within said five (5) day period to an alternative proposal, then Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days, execute an amendment to this lease incorporating the Adjacent Space into the Demised Premises, setting forth Tenant's minimum guaranteed rental and new proportionate shares, and any other adjustments to the lease negotiated by the parties (or logically necessitated by the addition of the Adjacent Space). If Tenant declines Landlord's proposal (or otherwise does not reach agreement with Landlord regarding terms for the expansion), or if Tenant does not timely respond to Landlord's proposal, Landlord shall then be free to lease the Adjacent Space to any third party or parties on such terms as Landlord may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, without any further liability to Tenant whatsoever with respect to the Adjacent Space.
(c) If the Demised Premises are expanded as hereinabove provided, the Adjacent Space shall be delivered to Tenant in its "AS IS" condition (without requirement for any tenant improvement allowance, unless same shall be agreed upon by the parties). Tenant shall have the option of performing tenant improvements in the Adjacent Space subject to all of the terms and provisions of the lease.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this right of first opportunity shall not be available to any assignee or subtenant of Tenant who becomes the "Tenant" hereunder.
D-1
Tenant shall have the right to renew the term of this lease for one (1) four (4)-year term upon prior written notice ("Tenant's Election Notice") to Landlord given not sooner than fifteen (15) months nor later than nine (9) months prior to the term expiration date; provided that at the time Tenant gives such notice to Landlord and for the remainder of the initial term of this lease (i) this lease has not been assigned and Tenant continues to occupy at least ninety percent (90%) of the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises and (ii) Tenant is not in default hereunder. During the renewal term, the provisions of this lease, as it may be amended in writing prior to the date of the commencement of such renewal term, shall continue in effect except that Tenant shall occupy the Demised Premises in its then "AS IS" condition and there shall be no abatement of rent, nor shall there be credit or allowances given to Tenant for improvements to the Demised Premises, and the minimum guaranteed rental will be an amount equal to whatever monthly rental (plus whatever periodic adjustments) Landlord is then quoting to prospective tenants for new leases of comparable space in the Industrial Complex for a comparable term (as confirmed by written statement delivered to Tenant by a representative of Landlord within fifteen (15) days of delivery of Tenant's Election Notice), or if no comparable space exists in the Industrial Complex, then one hundred percent (100%) of the projected prevailing market rate of rent for comparable space with comparable finish-out in comparable industrial buildings in comparable locations, as of the term expiration date (as confirmed by written statement delivered to Tenant by a representative of Landlord within fifteen (15) days of delivery of Tenant's Election Notice); provided, however, that in no event shall the minimum guaranteed rental rate during such renewal term be less than the fully escalated minimum guaranteed rental rate being paid by Tenant during the last full calendar month of the initial lease term. It is understood and agreed that Tenant's submittal of Tenant's Election Notice shall bind Tenant to a four (4)-year extension of this lease.
If by the date forty-five (45) days following delivery of Tenant's Election Notice, Landlord and Tenant have not agreed in writing as to the amount of the minimum guaranteed rental for the renewal term, the parties shall determine the projected prevailing market rental rate in accordance with the following procedure. Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one real estate appraiser, and the two so appointed shall select a third. Said real estate appraisers shall each be licensed in the State of California, specializing in the field of commercial real estate in the City of Sunnyvale, California, having no less than ten (10) years experience in such field, unaffiliated with either Landlord or Tenant, and recognized as ethical and reputable within their field. Landlord and Tenant agree to make their appointments promptly within ten (10) days after expiration of the forty-five (45) day negotiation period, or sooner if mutually agreed upon. The two appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant shall promptly select a third appraiser within thirty (30) days after they both have been appointed, and each appraiser, within forty-five (45) days after the third appraiser is selected, shall submit his or her determination of the then projected prevailing market rate of rent for comparable space with comparable finish-out in comparable industrial buildings in comparable locations. The prevailing market rental rate shall be the mean of the two closest rental determinations.
Once the minimum guaranteed rental for the renewal term has been established, the parties shall memorialize same in a writing to be prepared by Landlord.

This Section 2 is subject to any contrary requirements under applicable law; however, in this regard, Tenant acknowledges that it has been given the opportunity to inspect the Additional Premises and to have qualified experts inspect the Additional Premises prior to the execution of this Amendment.

9. Brokers. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has not had dealings in any manner with any real estate broker, finder or other person with respect to the negotiation and execution of this Amendment except Wayne Mascia Associates, who has acted as Tenant's broker ("Tenant's Broker"), and South Bay Development Corporation, who has acted as Landlord's broker ("Landlord's Broker"). Except as to commissions and fees to be paid as provided hereunder, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from all damage, loss, liability and expense (including attorneys' fees and related costs) arising out of or resulting from any claims for commissions or fees that may or have been asserted against Landlord by any broker, finder or other person with whom Tenant has or purportedly has dealt with in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Amendment.

Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any broker leasing commissions, consulting fees, finder fees or any other fees or commissions arising out of or relating to any extension of the Extended Term or to any further expansion or relocation of the Demised Premises at any time. All indemnities of Tenant set forth in this Amendment shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
10. Right of First Opportunity. The Right of First Opportunity set forth in Exhibit "D" to the Lease is hereby deleted.
11. Option to Renew. The Renewal Option set forth in Exhibit "E" to the Lease is hereby deleted and the following inserted in its place:
(a) Grant of Option. Tenant shall have the right to renew the term of this Lease upon the expiration of the Extended Term as to the entire Demised Premises (i.e., the Original Premises and Additional Premises) for one three-year term ("Renewal Term") upon prior written notice ("Tenant's Election Notice") to Landlord given not sooner than two hundred seventy (270) days nor later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Extended Term; provided that at the time Tenant gives such notice to Landlord and for the remainder of the Extended Term, (i) this Lease has not been assigned and Tenant continues to occupy ninety percent (90%) of the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises and (ii) Tenant is not in default under the Lease. During the Renewal Term, the provisions of this Lease, as it may be further amended in writing prior to the date of the
3
commencement of the Renewal Term, shall continue in effect except that Tenant shall occupy the Demised Premises in its then "AS IS" condition and there shall be no abatement of rent, nor shall there be credit or allowances given to Tenant for improvements to the Demised Premises, and the minimum guaranteed rental will be an amount equal to whatever monthly rental (plus whatever periodic adjustments) Landlord is then quoting to prospective tenants for new leases of comparable space in the Industrial Complex for a comparable term (as confirmed by written statement delivered to Tenant by a representative of Landlord within fifteen (15) days of delivery of Tenant's Election Notice ["Landlord's Confirmation Statement"]), or if no comparable space exists in the Industrial Complex, then one hundred percent (100%) of the projected prevailing market rate of rent for comparable space with comparable finish-out in comparable industrial buildings in comparable locations, as of the Extended Term expiration date (as confirmed by Landlord's Confirmation Statement delivered to Tenant by a representative of Landlord within fifteen (15) days of delivery of Tenant's Election Notice); provided, however, in no event shall the minimum guaranteed rental rate during such renewal term be less than the fully escalated minimum guaranteed rental rate being paid by Tenant with respect to the Original Premises during the last full calendar month of the Extended Term. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Confirmation Statement, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a written revocation of its exercise of the renewal right. In such event, Tenant's Election Notice shall be null and void and the Lease shall expire upon the expiration of the Extended Term. Tenant's failure to deliver such written revocation within said fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed Tenant's waiver of its right to revoke its exercise of the renewal right hereunder.
12. ERISA Certificate. Concurrently with Tenant's execution and delivery of this Amendment, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an ERISA Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C."
13. Corporate Authority. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of incumbency or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the individuals executing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant are authorized to execute this Amendment and bind Accuray, Incorporated.
14. Bonus Rent. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 19.4 of the Lease, in the event the rental due and payable by a sublessee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease plus any bonus or other consideration therefore or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, or the rental payable with respect to the portion of the Demised Premises subject to the sublease, or if with respect to a permitted assignment, permitted license or other transfer by Tenant permitted by Landlord, the consideration payable to Tenant by the assignee, licensee or other transferee exceeds the rental payable under the Lease, or the rental payable with respect to the portion of the Demises Premises subject to such assignment, license or other transfer, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all such excess rental and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof from such sublessee, assignee, licensee or other transferee, as the case may be, less (a) reasonable brokerage fees paid by Tenant in connection with the transaction, and (b) reasonable legal fees paid by Tenant in connection with the transaction.
15. Effect of Amendment. Except as modified herein, the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Lease, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall prevail.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX LEASE
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX LEASE (this "Amendment") is made and entered into as of September 25, 2006, by and between BRCP CARIBBEAN PORTFOLIO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company("Landlord"), and ACCURAY INCORPORATED, a California corporation ("Tenant").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. Expansion and Effective Date. Effective as of the Expansion Effective Date (defined below), the Original Premises is increased from approximately 72,576 rentable square feet of the Industrial Complex to approximately 125,568 rentable square feet of the Industrial Complex by the addition of the Expansion Space, and from and after the Expansion Effective Date, the Original Premises and the Expansion Space, collectively, shall be deemed the Demised Premises, as defined in the Lease and as used herein. The term for the Expansion Space (the "Expansion Space Term") shall commence on the Expansion Effective Date and end upon the expiration of the forty-second (42nd) full calendar month of the Expansion Space Term (i.e., May 31, 2010). For clarity, the parties hereto intend the following: (i) subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, the Expansion Space Term shall end on May 31, 2010, and (ii) the Extended Term (as defined in the First Amendment) for the Original Premises shall end, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby on February 29, 2008, unless Tenant validly elects to exercise its Renewal Option set forth in Section 11 of the First Amendment. Nothing set forth herein shall modify the Extended Term (as defined in the First Amendment) of the Original Premises. The Expansion Space is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease except as expressly modified herein and except that Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowances, abatements or other financial concessions granted with respect to the Original Premises unless such concessions are expressly provided for herein with respect to the Expansion Space.
(a) The "Expansion Effective Date" shall be November 15, 2006. Landlord shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Expansion Space Improvements on or before the Expansion Effective Date; provided, however, that Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any delays in such substantial completion of the Expansion Space Improvements shall not subject
1
Landlord to any liability therefor and the Expansion Effective Date shall not be delayed or extended as a result thereof. Landlord represents that as of the date of this Amendment, the Expansion Space is currently vacant and no other tenant is in possession thereof.
2. Minimum Guaranteed Rental. In addition to Tenant's obligation to pay minimum guaranteed rental for the Original Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord minimum guaranteed rental for the Expansion Space as follows:
Period of Term |
Annual Rate Per Square Foot |
Annual Minimum Guaranteed Rental |
Monthly Minimum Guaranteed Rental |
||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Month 1 - Month 6 | $ | 6.90 | $ | 365,644.80 | $ | 30,470.40 | |||
Month 7 - Month 12 | $ | 13.80 | $ | 731,289.60 | $ | 60,940.80 | |||
Month 13 - Month 24 | $ | 14.40 | $ | 763,084.80 | $ | 63,590.40 | |||
Month 25 - Month 36 | $ | 15.00 | $ | 794,880.00 | $ | 66,240.00 | |||
Month 37 - Month 42 | $ | 15.60 | $ | 826,675.20 | $ | 68,889.60 |
All such minimum guaranteed rental shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby.
3. Tenant's Proportionate Share. During the Expansion Space Term, Tenant's Proportionate Share for the Expansion Building is 100%. Tenant's Proportionate Share for the Parcel Common Area Costs (consisting of the Common Area Charges for the real property tax parcel containing 1310 and 1314 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California) for the Original Premises is 49.22% (i.e., 27.13% as specified in the Original Lease, plus 22.09% as specified in the First Amendment). Tenant's Proportionate Share for the Parcel Common Area Costs (consisting of the Common Area Charges for the real property tax parcel containing 1315 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California) for the Expansion Space is 50.0%. Tenant's Proportionate Share for the Industrial Complex Common Area Costs is increased during the Expansion Space Term from 28.63% (i.e., 15.78% as specified in the Original Lease plus 12.85% specified in the First Amendment) to 49.53%. Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be appropriately decreased following the first to occur of the following: (i) the expiration of the Extended Term (as defined in the First Amendment) if the Demised Premises is reduced (i.e., Tenant shall not have validly exercised its Renewal Option set forth in Section 11 of the First Amendment), and (ii) the expiration of the Expansion Space Term (i.e., Tenant shall have validly exercised its Renewal Option with respect to the Original Premises set forth in Section 11 of the First Amendment).
4. Taxes, Other Real Estate Charges, Insurance Expenses and Common Area Charges. For the period commencing with the Expansion Effective Date and ending on the termination of the Expansion Space Term, Tenant shall pay for Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes, Other Real Estate Charges, Insurance Expenses and Common Area Charges applicable to the Expansion Space in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes, Other Real Estate Charges and Common Area Charges for the Expansion Space are estimated to be $15,897.60 per month.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, as amended hereby, Tenant shall be entitled to a fifty percent (50%) abatement of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes. Other Real Estate Charges, Insurance Expenses and Common Area Charges applicable to the Expansion Space, as described in this Amendment for six (6) full calendar months of the Expansion Space Term, commencing with the first full calendar month of the Expansion Space Term (collectively, the "Abated Additional Rent"). If Tenant defaults under the Lease at any time during the Expansion Space Term and fails to cure such default within any applicable cure period under the Lease, then all Abated Additional Rent shall immediately become due and payable. Only Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes, Other Real Estate Charges, Insurance Expenses and Common Area Charges shall be abated pursuant to this Section, as more particularly described herein, and all other
2
costs and charges specified in the Lease, as amended hereby, shall remain as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.
5. Additional Security Deposit. Upon Tenant's execution hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $68,889.60 which is added to and becomes part of the Security Deposit, if any, held by Landlord as provided under Section 8 of the Original Lease as security for payment of rent and the performance of the other terms and conditions of the Lease by Tenant. Accordingly, simultaneous with the execution hereof, the Security Deposit is increased from $324,432.00 to $393,321.16.
6. Expansion Space Improvements. Except as expressly provided for in this Amendment, including, without limitation, Section 9 below, Tenant has inspected the Expansion Space and agrees to accept the same "as is" without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements. Landlord shall perform improvements to the Expansion Space in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
7. Early Access to Expansion Space. During any period that Tenant shall be permitted to enter the Expansion Space prior to the date Landlord substantially completes the Expansion Space Improvements and tenders possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant for Tenant's permitted use, (e.g., to perform Exhibit Work, install cable, or perform alterations or improvements, if any), Tenant shall comply with all terms and provisions of the Lease, except, with respect to any period of such early access prior to the Expansion Effective Date, Tenant shall not be required to comply with those provisions requiring payment of minimum guaranteed rental or Taxes, Other Real Estate Charges, Insurance Expenses and Common Area Charges as to the Expansion Space. If Tenant takes possession of the Expansion Space prior to the date Landlord substantially completes the Expansion Space Improvements and tenders possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant for any reason whatsoever (other than the performance of the Exhibit Work or other work in the Expansion Space described below in this Section 7), such possession shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease and this Amendment, and Tenant shall pay minimum guaranteed rental and taxes, Other Real Estate Charges, Insurance Expenses and Common Area Charges as applicable to the Expansion Space to Landlord on a per diem basis for each day of occupancy prior to the Expansion Effective Date. Subject to the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby, Landlord grants Tenant the right to enter the Expansion Space, following full execution and delivery of this Amendment, the additional Security Deposit and certificates of insurance for the Expansion Space to Landlord, solely for the purpose of construction of Tenant's trade show exhibits (the "Exhibit Work"), provided that such Exhibit Work shall not be located near or otherwise occur proximate to Landlord's construction of the Expansion Space Improvements (as determined by Landlord). In the event that Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant's performance of the Exhibit Work or other work in the Expansion Space set forth below in this Section 7 is compromising Landlord's ability to timely and reasonably perform the Expansion Space Improvements or that Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for Landlord, Tenant or their respective contractors or employees, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may (i) require that Tenant immediately vacate the Expansion Space and remove any personal property of Tenant contained therein, in which event Tenant shall so vacate the Expansion Space and remove such property, or (ii) require that Tenant relocate (including Tenant's personal property) to another location in the Expansion Space (determined by Landlord), in which event Tenant shall so relocate to such location. In addition to the foregoing, during such period of early access, Tenant may, (i) following installation of the ceiling grid in the Expansion Space, install telecommunications and data cabling in the Expansion Space, and (ii) following Landlord's installation of the carpeting in the Expansion Space, install equipment, furnishings and other personalty, all at Tenant's sole risk. Tenant shall be liable for any utilities or special services provided to Tenant during such period. Landlord may withdraw such permission to enter the Expansion Space prior to the substantial completion of the Expansion Space Improvements and delivery of the Expansion Space to Tenant at any time that Landlord reasonably determines that
3
such entry by Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for Landlord, Tenant or their respective contractors or employees, or if Landlord reasonably determines that such entry by Tenant is hampering or otherwise preventing Landlord from proceeding with the completion of the Expansion Space Improvements described in Exhibit B attached hereto at the earliest possible date. In any event, during any period of such early access, Tenant shall promptly vacate the Expansion Space (and remove any personal property therefrom) upon notice from Landlord that Landlord is prepared to begin installation of carpeting in the Expansion Space (pursuant to the Plans).
8. Access. Tenant shall have access to the Expansion Space for Tenant and its employees, agents, representatives, customers, visitors, invitees, licensees and contractors 24 hours per day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby, and such security or monitoring systems as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards.
9. Base Building Systems. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that the base Building electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, roof and plumbing systems located in the Expansion Space shall be in good working order as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant. Except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, representatives, customers, visitors, invitees, licensees, contractors, assignees or subtenants or by any alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of tenant, if such systems are not in good working order as of the date possession of the Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant and Tenant provides Landlord with notice of the same within sixty (60) days following the date Landlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant for Tenant's permitted use (excluding the early access period set forth in Section 7 above), Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the same; provided, however, that the sixty (60) day period described above shall be increased to one hundred twenty (120) days for the roof only. In the event that any such system is not in good working order and Tenant so notifies Landlord of the same during the stated time periods set forth above, Landlord shall in good faith make commercially reasonable efforts to bring such system into good working order within a commercially reasonable time.
10. Parking. In addition to the parking rights Tenant has under the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to the nonexclusive use of Tenant's Proportionate Share of parking spaces (3.5 unreserved parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Expansion Space), which as of the date of this Amendment shall be one hundred eighty-five (185) unreserved parking spaces (the "Expansion Space Parking Spaces"), for the parking of such number of motor vehicles in the parking facilities of the Industrial Complex designated by Landlord; such rights are not transferable without Landlord's approval. The use of such parking facilities for the Original Premises and/or the Expansion Space shall be subject to such rules and regulations as are adopted by Landlord from time to time for the use of such facilities. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to Tenant or Tenant's property (including, without limitation, any loss or damage to any Tenant or of Tenant's trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively, the "Tenant Parties") automobile or the contents thereof due to theft, vandalism or accident) arising from or related to use of any of the parking facilities, whether or not such loss or damage results from Landlord's or any Landlord Parties' (as defined in Section 12(d) below) negligence (provided that the foregoing limitation on Landlord's liability shall not apply to Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct). Of the Expansion Space Parking Spaces, Tenant shall be authorized to identify fifteen (15) "visitor parking" spaces, including ten (10) "Accuray Visitor Parking" spaces in accordance with Article III, Section F of Exhibit B of the Original Lease.

11. Other Provisions. Landlord and Tenant agree that, effective as of the date of this Amendment (unless different effective dates are specifically referenced in this Section), the Lease shall be amended in the following additional respects:
(a) Signage. The following shall be added to the end of Section 13.1 of the Original Lease: "Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide and install, at Landlord's expense, initial Building standard identification signage for Tenant in at the entry to the Expansion Building. Any changes thereto shall be at Tenant's cost, except changes due solely to Landlord's error."
(b) Sublease/Assignment Excess Rent. The second (2nd) sentence of Section 19.4 of Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: "Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, in the event that the rental due and payable by a sublessee (or combination of the rental payable under such sublease plus any bonus or other consideration therefore or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this lease, or if with respect to a permitted assignment, permitted licensee or other transfer by Tenant permitted by Landlord, the consideration payable to Tenant by the assignee, licensee or other transferee exceeds the rental payable under this lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such excess rental and other excess consideration with respect to the Original Premises and fifty percent (50%) of all such excess rental and other excess consideration with respect to the Expansion Space within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant from such sublessee, assignee, licensee or other transferee, as the case may be, after deducting any reasonable out-of-pocket brokerage commissions and legal fees incurred in connection with such assignment or sublease."
(c) Option to Renew. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Section 11 of the First Amendment shall not apply with respect to the Expansion Space.
(d) Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has satisfied its obligations under Exhibit C of the First Amendment with respect to the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
(e) Landlord's Name. Landlord's name as set forth in Subsection 1.1(a) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"Landlord: BRCP Caribbean Portfolio, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company."
(f) Landlord's Address. Landlord's address as set forth in Subsection 1.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"BRCP
Caribbean Portfolio, LLC
c/o Broadreach Capital Partners, LLC
248 Homer Avenue
Palo Alto, California 94301"
(g) Agent. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree there shall be no agent on behalf of Landlord, and thereby all references to "Agent" under the Lease are hereby replaced with "Landlord".
(h) Damages After Default. Section 22.2(c) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
"22.2(c) Should Landlord terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 21.1(a) hereof, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies of a Landlord provided by Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any successor code sections. Upon such termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law or at equity, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (a) the
5
worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and other amounts that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount and court costs necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the time of award" as used in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be computed at the Default Rate (defined below). The "worth at the time of award" as used in clause (c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Federal Discount Rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). If this Lease provides for any periods during the Term during which Tenant is not required to pay minimum guaranteed rent or if Tenant otherwise receives a rent concession, then upon the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant shall owe to Landlord the full amount of such minimum guaranteed rent or value of such rent concession, plus interest at the applicable interest rate, calculated from the date that such minimum guaranteed rent or rent concession would have been payable."
(i) Waiver. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY SECTION 3275 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA AND BY SECTIONS 1174 (c) AND 1179 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OF CALIFORNIA AND ANY AND ALL OTHER LAWS AND RULES OF LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT DURING THE LEASE TERM PROVIDING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO REDEEM, REINSTATE OR RESTORE THIS LEASE FOLLOWING ITS TERMINATION BY REASON OF TENANT'S BREACH.
(j) Common Area Costs. Tenant's Proportionate Share of Common Area Costs with respect to the Expansion Space only shall not include any cost or expense related to removal, cleaning, abatement or remediation of "hazardous materials" in or about the Common Areas of the Expansion Building, including, without limitation, hazardous substances in the ground water or soil, except to the extent such removal, cleaning, abatement or remediation is related to the general repair and maintenance of the Common Areas. The foregoing exclusion shall not apply to Tenant's Proportionate Share obligations to the Common Areas of the Original Premises. Except as otherwise stated in this subsection (j) and/or in this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
(k) Assignment. If, during the Term, Tenant reincorporates its state of formation from the State of California to the State of Delaware, Landlord's consent under the Lease shall not be required for such transfer if all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction: (i) such transfer occurs solely in connection with any bona fide corporate transaction for the benefit of Tenant, (ii) Tenant's assets shall not materially decrease and Tenant's liabilities shall not materially increase as a result or otherwise in connection with such reincorporation, (iii) Tenant provides to Landlord written notice no more than ten (10) business days after such reincorporation, and (iv) there is no Default by Tenant at the time of the transfer.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Amendment, including Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. Unless specifically set forth in this Amendment, under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any rent abatement, improvement allowance, leasehold
6
improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided Tenant in connection with entering into the Lease.
(b) Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control. The capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Amendment.
(c) Submission of this Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Amendment until Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant.
(d) Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment other than Wayne Mascia Associates ("Tenant's Broker"). Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively, the "Landlord Parties") harmless from all claims of any brokers, except Tenant's Broker, claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Amendment. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that Landlord has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment other than Colliers International ("Landlord's Broker"). Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from all claims of any brokers, except Landlord's Broker, claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with this Amendment. Landlord shall pay broker leasing commissions to Tenant's Broker and Landlord's Broker pursuant to a separate agreement and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this provision shall supersede any provision to the contrary in the Lease.
(e) Each signatory of this Amendment represents hereby that he or she has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant, nor any persons or entities holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in Tenant, are (i) the target of any sanctions program that is established by Executive Order of the President or published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury ("OFAC"); (ii) designated by the President or OFAC pursuant to the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. § 5, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701-06, the Patriot Act, Public Law 107-56, Executive Order 13224 (September 23, 2001) or any Executive Order of the President issued pursuant to such statutes; or (iii) named on the following list that is published by OFAC: "List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons." If the foregoing representation is untrue at any time during the Term, an uncured event of default under the Lease will be deemed to have occurred, without the necessity of notice to Tenant.
(f) Redress for any claim against Landlord under the Lease and this Amendment shall be limited to and enforceable only against and to the extent of Landlord's interest in the Building. The obligations of Landlord under the Lease are not intended to and shall not be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to the private properties of, any of its trustees or board of directors and officers, as the case may be, its investment manager, the general partners thereof, or any beneficiaries, stockholders, employees, or agents of Landlord or the investment manager.

2. Premises.
2
in this Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs or alterations to the Premises.
3
parking areas, loading dock facilities and other improvements within the Common Areas; and (d) do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas as Landlord may deem appropriate; provided, however, any such permanent changes or alterations that substantially and adversely affect parking, loading or unloading or substantially and adversely interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or the Common Areas (as defined below) shall require Tenant's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As used herein, the term "Common Areas" means all areas and facilities outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary lines of the land owned by Landlord that are provided and designated by Landlord as such from time to time for general nonexclusive use of Tenant and others, including, if designated by Landlord as Common Areas, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways and landscaped areas. The Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, the land upon which the same are located, along with all other buildings and improvements thereon, are herein collectively referred to as the "Project." Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Areas be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the Common Areas, including, without limitation, the storage of trucks or other vehicles. Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be revoked at any time. In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.
3. TERM.
4. USE.
4
recommendations of Landlord's engineers or other consultants, and requirements of any fire insurance underwriters, rating bureaus or government agencies, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing, during the term or any part of the term hereof, relating in any manner to the Premises or the occupation and use by Tenant of the Premises ("Legal Requirements"). Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense, comply with all requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act that relate to the Premises, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing occupational safely and health. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with or endanger Landlord or any other tenants of the Project. Tenant shall obtain, at its sole expense, any permit or other governmental authorization required to operate its business from the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for the failure of any other tenant or person to abide by the requirements of this section or to otherwise comply with applicable laws and regulations, and Tenant shall not be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Lease due to such a failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to make changes required by Legal Requirements to the structural components of the Premises ("Landlord Changes"), unless such changes are required due to Tenant's negligence or misuse of the Premises, Tenant's alteration of the Premises or Tenant's particular use of the Premises. If the changes are required due to Tenant's negligence or misuse of the Premises, Tenant's alteration of the Premises or Tenant's particular use of the Premises, Landlord shall make such changes and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost thereof. With respect to other Landlord Changes, Landlord shall cause same to be completed, and subject to the other limitations contained in this Lease, the cost thereof may be included in Operating Expenses.
5
6. OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS
6
For purposes of this Lease, a "Capital Improvement" shall be an improvement to the Project that Landlord is obligated or permitted to make pursuant to this Lease, the cost of which is not fully deductible in the year incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that, at Landlord's option, the following items shall be treated as expenses and not Capital Improvements: (i) the cost of painting all or part of the Project, (ii) the cost of resurfacing and restriping roadways and parking areas and (iii) the cost of any items Tenant is obligated to pay for pursuant to section 12.1 that Landlord elects, in its sole discretion, to include in Operating Expenses. Real Property Taxes (as defined below) shall be reimbursed to Landlord as provided below and shall not be treated as an Operating Expense. References to facilities, services, utilities or other items in this section shall not impose an obligation on Landlord to have said facilities or to provide said services unless such facilities and services already exist at the Project.
7
payable by Tenant monthly during each calendar year of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that Tenant pays Landlord's estimate of Tenant's Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall use its best efforts to deliver to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement (the "Statement") showing Tenant's Percentage Share of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such year. If Landlord has not delivered a Statement to Tenant within one hundred fifty (150) days after the expiration of the preceding calendar year, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice of such failure (a "Tenant Notice"), and Landlord's failure to provide the Statement to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the Tenant Notice shall be a breach by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease. To be effective, the Tenant Notice must specifically state that Landlord's failure to provide the Statement to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the Notice will constitute a breach of the Lease by Landlord and the Tenant Notice must refer specifically to this section of the Lease. Landlord's failure to deliver the Statement to Tenant within said period shall not constitute Landlord's waiver of its right to collect said amounts or otherwise prejudice Landlord's rights hereunder. If Tenant's payments under this section during said calendar year exceed Tenant's Percentage Share as indicated on the Statement, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against Base Rent and Tenant's Percentage Share of Operating Expenses next falling due. If Tenant's payments under this section during said calendar year were less than Tenant's Percentage Share as indicated on the Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the Statement. Landlord and Tenant shall forthwith adjust between them by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to that portion of the last calendar year for which Tenant is responsible for Operating Expenses, notwithstanding that the Lease term may have terminated before the end of such calendar year; and this provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
8
Tenant Percentage Shares to Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes in a commercially reasonable and good faith manner.
9
maintenance items shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Operating Expense in the year incurred.
8. UTILITIES.
10
9. REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
11
and gift taxes. In the future a general or special assessment of real property taxes may be levied and assessed against the Project, and in this event Landlord may have the right to either elect to pay the new assessment in full or to pay the new assessment in installments over time. If Landlord elects to pay the new assessment in full, each year the Real Property Taxes shall include the amount of the assessment that would have come due each year if Landlord had elected to pay the assessment in installments.
10. INSURANCE.
12
property. By way of example, and not limitation, such policies shall provide protection against any peril included within the classification "fire and extended coverage," against vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, sprinkler leakage, earthquake damage and flood damage.
13
not available at commercially reasonable rates and it becomes customary to permit tenants of similar industrial buildings to maintain a higher deductible, Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain the higher customary deductible not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
11. LANDLORD'S REPAIRS.
14
begin taking the actions necessary to complete such repair within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Second Notice, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Tenant may proceed to make the repair, and if such repair was required under the terms of the Lease to be made by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's reasonable costs and expenses in making such repair. If Landlord was obligated to perform such repair, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of the repair within thirty (30) days after receiving reasonable evidence of the repair made, its cost and mechanics' lien releases from all contractors making the repair. If Tenant makes a repair, and such repair will affect the Building's life/safety system, HVAC system, elevator system, electrical system, plumbing system, or the structural integrity of the Building, Tenant shall utilize the services of the contractors used by Landlord to provide such services or, if Tenant is unable to determine which contractors Landlord uses to provide such services after diligent inquiry, a qualified, experienced and solvent contractor that regularly performs similar work in similar buildings in the area in which the Building is located. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant the right to take any action or to make any repair in any Common Area or the right to modify the structure, layout or design of the Building. In addition, Tenant shall not have the right to make any repair pursuant to this section, unless such repair is necessary to remedy a problem which substantially and adversely affects Tenant's use of the Premises. All repairs made by Tenant shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws, and Landlord shall not be responsible for any defective work performed by Tenant or contractors hired by Tenant. Tenant shall pay all costs incurred with respect to any actions or repairs made by Tenant and shall pay all claims for labor and materials furnished to Tenant as and when due.
12. TENANT'S REPAIRS.
15
the integrity and support provided by any party wall. If Tenant fails to keep the Premises in good condition and repair, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any necessary repairs. If Landlord makes such repairs, Landlord may bill Tenant for the cost of the repairs as additional rent, and said additional rent shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord.
16
shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to elect upon written notice to Tenant to have Tenant purchase some or all of the Maintenance Contracts, in which event Tenant shall purchase such contracts from persons designated or approved by Landlord and shall pay for such Maintenance Contracts at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Landlord shall obtain Maintenance Contracts at commercially reasonable costs.
13. ALTERATIONS AND SURRENDER.
17
the term of the Lease. Landlord shall not be entitled to reimbursed by Tenant or from the Tenant improvement Allowance for any costs incurred by Landlord in monitoring the construction of the Tenant improvements or in reviewing and/or approving any plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant intends to install four concrete radiation cells in the Premises as part of the initial Tenant improvements, as more particularly described on the Space Plan attached to the Work Letter Agreement (the "Initial Radiation Cells"). The Space Plan attached to the Work Letter Agreement also describes the location of two additional concrete radiation cells that Tenant may wish to install after the initial Tenant improvements are completed (the "Additional Radiation Cells"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this section 13, Landlord hereby consents to the construction of the Additional Radiation Cells by Tenant at any time during the term of the Lease. The Additional Radiation Cells shall be placed in the locations described on the Space Plan and shall be constructed using materials and designs that are similar to the Initial Radiation Cells. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Initial Radiation Cells or to restore the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the installation of the Initial Radiation Cells unless Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease during the Initial Term and this Lease is terminated as a result of such default, in which case Tenant shall be obligated to remove the Initial Radiation Cells from the Premises. If Tenant installs the Additional Radiation Cells during the Initial Term and Tenant does not exercise the Extension Option, prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Tenant shall remove the Additional Radiation Cells and restore the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the Installation of the Additional Radiation Cells. If Tenant exercises the Extension Option and performs all of its obligations under this Lease during the term of the Extension Option, if Tenant has installed the Additional Radiation Cells, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Additional Radiation Cells from the Premises. If Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease during the Extended Term and this Lease is terminated as a result of such default, Tenant shall be obligated to remove the Additional Radiation Cells and to restore the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the installation of the Additional Radiation Cells.
18
14. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
19
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If all or part of the Project is destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in section 14.2 below), Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and complete discretion, to repair or to rebuild the Project or to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall within one hundred twenty (120) days after the discovery of such material damage or destruction notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's intention to repair or to rebuild or to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall in no event be entitled to compensation or damages on account of annoyance or inconvenience in making any repairs, or on account of construction, or on account of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall elect to rebuild or repair the Project after material damage or destruction, but in good faith determines that the Premises cannot be substantially repaired within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date of the discovery of the material damage or destruction, without payment of overtime or other premiums, and the damage to the Project will render the entire Premises unusable during said three hundred sixty (360) day period, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof in writing at the time of Landlord's election to rebuild or repair, and Tenant shall thereafter have a period of fifteen (15) days within which Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease, upon thirty (30) days' advance written notice to Landlord. Tenant's termination right described in the preceding sentence shall not apply if the damage was caused by the negligent or intentional acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Failure of Tenant to exercise said election within said fifteen (15) day period shall constitute Tenant's agreement to accept delivery of the Premises under this Lease whenever tendered by Landlord, provided Landlord thereafter pursues reconstruction or restoration diligently to completion, subject to delays caused by Force Majeure Events. Tenant shall also have the right to terminate this Lease in the event that, notwithstanding Landlord's good faith estimate that the Premises can be substantially repaired within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date of damage or destruction, the Premises are not in fact substantially repaired within such three hundred sixty (360) day period (as extended by Force Majeure Events). Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of its election to terminate this Lease because the repairs are not completed in three hundred sixty (360) days within ten (10) days after the three hundred sixty (360) day. Failure of Tenant to exercise said election within said ten (10) day period shall constitute Tenant's agreement to accept delivery of the Premises under this Lease whenever tendered by Landlord, provided Landlord thereafter pursues reconstruction or restoration diligently to completion, subject to delays caused by Force Majeure Events. If Landlord is unable to repair the damage to the Premises or the Project during such three hundred sixty (360) day period due to Force Majeure Events, the three hundred sixty (360) day period shall be extended by the period of delay caused by the Force Majeure Events.

In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, and subject to the requirements of any lender that has made a loan to Landlord encumbering the Project, Landlord shall to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Project caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority.

All of Tenant's Agents shall carry worker's compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to section 10 of the Lease. Tenant's Agents shall not be entitled to satisfy their insurance obligations through self-insurance.
(B) Special Coverages. Tenant shall carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by Tenant during the construction period and throughout the term of the Lease. Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord.
(C) General Terms. Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this section shall be delivered to Landlord before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements and before any equipment is moved onto the site. All such policies of insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured and must contain a provision that the company writing the policy will give Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance. In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant's Agents shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until all of the Tenant Improvements are fully completed. All insurance, except Worker's Compensation, maintained by Tenant's Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against Landlord or Tenant. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects Landlord and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder. The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not limit Tenant's indemnification obligations under this Work Letter Agreement.
57
(c) Compliance With Laws and Other Landlord Requirements. The Tenant Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following: (i) all applicable building codes, laws and regulations; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters); and (iii) building material manufacturer's specifications. In addition, Tenant's Agents shall comply with all of Landlord's reasonable rules, regulations and procedures concerning the construction of Improvements in the Building and access to the Building (collectively, the "Construction Procedures").
(d) Inspection by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord's Inspection of the Tenant Improvements shall not constitute Landlord's approval of the Tenant improvements. Should Landlord reasonably disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. Any defects in the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord. Landlord shall not receive a separate fee for monitoring the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(e) Notice of Non-Responsibility. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the date Tenant intends to first commence construction of the Tenant improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of its intention to commence construction. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to post notices of non-responsibility at the Premises.
4.3 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans. Within ten (10) days after completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, and as a condition to Landlord's final reimbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of Santa Clara County in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon such recordation. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may execute and file the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's agent for such purpose, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. At the conclusion of construction, and as a condition to Landlord's final reimbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, (a) Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (i) to update the Construction Drawings as necessary to reflect all changes made to the Final Construction Drawings during the course of construction, (ii) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the "record-set" of as-built drawings are true and correct and (iii) to deliver to Landlord two (2) sets of copies of such record set of drawings, and (b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all warranties, guaranties, and operating manuals and information relating to the improvements, equipment, and systems in the Premises.
5. Completion. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to cause the Tenant Improvements to be completed as soon as reasonably possible following the Commencement Date. Subject to the performance by Landlord of its obligations with respect to the funding of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant agrees to cause the Tenant Improvements to be paid for, at Tenant's sole cost end expense. Tenant shall be primarily obligated to complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and the failure of Tenant's Agents to perform their obligations with respect to the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay Base Rent and other amounts due under the Lease as of the Rent Commencement Date is not conditioned on Tenant's completion of the Tenant Improvements prior to the Rent Commencement Date or at any other time.
6. Miscellaneous.
6.1 Tenant's Representative. Tenant has designated Chris Rearms as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter Agreement, and, until further notice to Landlord, Tenant's representative shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Work Letter Agreement.
58
6.2 Landlord's Representative. Landlord has designated Kevin Morris as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter Agreement, and until further notice to Tenant, Landlords, representative shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Work Letter Agreement.
6.3 Time of the Essence. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a "number of days" shall mean and refer to calendar days. If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.
6.4 Tenant's Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, if Tenant commits a default as defined in section 17.1 of the Lease, and fails to cure such default during any applicable cure period, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance until such default is cured. The failure of Tenant or Landlord to perform any of Its obligations under this Work Letter Agreement shall constitute a default under the Lease, subject to the applicable cure periods set forth therein.

Addendum to Standard Industrial Lease (the "Lease")
dated the 30th day of June, 2005, Between
The Realty Associates Fund III, L.P. ("Landlord") and
Accuray Incorporated ("Tenant")
It is hereby agreed by Landlord and Tenant that the provisions of this Addendum are a part of the Lease. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall control. Capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as capitalized terms in the Lease, and, if a Work Letter Agreement is attached to this Lease, as those terms have been defined in the Work Letter Agreement.
1. Option to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of the Lease for one (1) four (4)-year period (the "Extension Option") commencing when the initial lease term expires upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:
(a) On a date which is prior to the date that the option period would commence (if exercised) by at least two hundred seventy (270) days and not more than three hundred sixty (360) days, Landlord shall have received from Tenant a written notice of the exercise of the option to extend the Lease for said additional term (an "Exercise Notice"), time being of the essence. If the Exercise Notice is not so given and received, the Extension Option shall automatically expire, Tenant shall no longer have the right to give an Extension Notice and this section shall be of no further force or effect. Tenant shall give the Exercise Notice using certified mail return receipt requested or some other method where the person delivering the package containing the Exercise Notice obtains a signature of the person accepting the package containing the Exercise Notice (e.g., by Fed Ex with the requirement that the FedEx delivery person obtain a signature from the person accepting the package).
(b) All of the terms and conditions of the Lease except where specifically modified by this section shall apply.
(c) The monthly Base Rent payable during the option term shall be the Market Rate on the date the option term commences.
(d) The term "Market Rate" shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot that a willing, comparable renewal tenant would pay and a willing, comparable landlord of a similar building would accept at arm's length for similar space, giving appropriate consideration to the following matters: (i) annual rental rates per rentable square foot; (ii) the type of escalation clauses (including, but without limitation, operating expense, real estate taxes, and CPI) and the extent of liability under the escalation clauses (i.e., whether determined on a "net lease" basis or by increases over a particular base year or base dollar amount); (iii) rent abatement provisions reflecting free rent and/or no rent during the lease term; (iv) length of lease term: (v) size and location of premises being leased; and (vi) other generally applicable terms and conditions of tenancy for similar space; provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to any tenant improvement or refurbishment allowance. Tenant shall not be entitled to any tenant improvement or refurbishment allowance, but such fact shall be take into account in determining the Market Rate, the existence of any specialized improvements paid for by Tenant (including, without limitation, clean rooms) shall not be taken into consideration. The Market Rate may also designate periodic rental increases, a new Base Year and similar economic adjustments.
(e) If Tenant exercises the Extension Option, Landlord shall determine the Market Rate by using the good faith judgment. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such amount on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the date that the term of the Extension Option will commence. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days ("Tenant's Review Period") after receipt
61
of Landlord's notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental. In the event Tenant fails to accept in writing such rental proposal by Landlord, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Market Rate, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's Review Period ("Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to the Market Rate, and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (i) through (v) below.
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date and exchange their sealed envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other's presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the Market Rate within one (1) business day of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon and jointly appoint a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or agent who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of buildings similar to the Premises in the geographical area of the Premises. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker or agent as to his or her opinion as to the Market Rate prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market Rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual Market Rate for the Premises as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements for determining Market Rate set forth herein. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within five (5) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information such party deems relevant to the determination of the Market Rate ("MR Data"), and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such MR Data.
(ii) The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market Rate and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such determination.
(iii) The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the presiding judge of the Superior Court for the county in which the Premises is located, or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge having jurisdiction over the parties.
(v) The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
2. Building Signage. Subject to the following terms and conditions, Landlord shall permit Tenant to install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a building sign (the "Building Sign") containing Tenant's name above the entrance to the Building:
(a) The size, location, color and design of the Building Sign shall be approved by Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion;
(b) The cost of designing, fabricating, installing and obtaining governmental approvals for the Building Sign shall be paid by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Landlord shall have the right to approve the contractor that installs the Building Sign and the contractor shall comply with all of Landlord's policies and procedures relating to construction performed at the Building (e.g., insurance, safety etc.);
62
(c) Tenant shall maintain the Building Sign in good order and repair, at Tenant's sole cost and expense;
(d) Tenant's right to install the Building Sign is subject to the insurance by the City of Sunnyvale (the "City") of any required approvals and permits for the installation of the Building Sign, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in obtaining such approvals, at no material cost or expense to Landlord. Landlord makes no representation or warranty that the City will permit the installation of the Building Sign, and Tenant's obligations under this Lease are not conditioned upon the City permitting the installation of the Building Sign or any other sign;
(e) Any modification of the Building Sign shall be considered to be an "Alteration" within the meaning of section 13.1 of the Lease, and shall be governed by the provisions thereof;
(f) Tenant shall remove the Building Sign and repair any damage to the Building, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, upon the termination or expiration of the Lease term;
(g) Subject to Landlord's right to place signs on the exterior of the Building to comply with applicable laws, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to place exterior building signage on the Building; and
(h) If Tenant assigns the Lease or subleases the entire Premises, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the modification of the Building Sign to state the name of the person or entity to whom the Lease is assigned or to whom the Premises is subleased provided that the assignee or subtenant obtains from the City all required approvals and permits.
3. Monument Sign. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to place its name in the lower position on the monument sign located on the corner of Orleans Drive and Moffett Park Drive (the "Monument Sign"). Ion America Corporation has the right to the top position on the Monument Sign. Landlord shall have the right to approve the size, design, location and color of Tenant's name on the Monument Sign, in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Tenant shall maintain its name in good condition. The Monument Sign will include spaces for the names of multiple tenants, and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may elect to add additional names to the Monument Sign. If Tenant assigns the Lease or subleases the entire Premises, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the modification of the Monument Sign to state the name of the person or entity to whom the Lease is assigned or to whom the Premises is subleased provided that the assignee or subtenant obtains from the City all required approvals and permits.
4. Confidentiality. Landlord acknowledges the confidential nature of the work to be performed by Tenant within the Premises and agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep confidential all confidential information observed or obtained by Landlord regarding any products and other information of or relating to Tenant's business, except to the extent such information is required to be disclosed to a third party by law, which obligation shall survive expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

Exhibit 10.3
ACCURAY INCORPORATED
1993 STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose. The Accuray Incorporated 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is established to attract, retain and reward persons providing services to Accuray Incorporated and any successor corporation thereto (collectively referred to as the "Company"), and any present or future parent and/or subsidiary corporations of such corporation (all of whom along with the Company being individually referred to as a "Participating Company" and collectively referred to as the "Participating Company Group"), and to motivate such persons to contribute to the growth and profits of the Participating Company Group in the future. For purposes of the Plan, a parent corporation and a subsidiary corporation shall be as defined in sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and/or by a duly appointed committee of the Board having such powers as shall be specified by the Board. Any subsequent references herein to the Board shall also mean the committee if such committee has been appointed and, unless the powers of the committee have been specifically limited, the committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted herein, including, without limitation, the power to terminate or amend the Plan at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any options granted under the Plan (an "Option") shall be determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan and/or any Option. Options may be either incentive stock options as defined in section 422 of the Code ("Incentive Stock Options") or nonqualified stock options. Any officer of a Participating Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation, or election.
3. Eligibility. Options may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) and directors of the Participating Company Group or to individuals who are rendering services as consultants, advisors, or other independent contractors to the Participating Company Group. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "employees" shall include prospective employees to whom Options are granted in connection with written offers of employment with the Participating Company Group and "consultants" or "advisors" shall include prospective consultants or advisors to whom Options are granted in connection with written consulting or advising offers with the Participating Company Group. The Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine which persons shall be granted Options (an "Optionee"). A director of the Company may only be granted a nonqualified stock option unless the director is also an employee of the Company. An individual who is rendering services as a consultant, advisor, or other independent contractor and an individual granted an option before becoming an employee may only be granted a nonqualified stock option. Eligible persons may be granted more than one (1) Option.
4. Shares Subject to Option. Options shall be for the purchase of shares of the authorized but unissued common stock of the Company (the "Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 9 below. The maximum number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan shall be Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) shares. In the event that any outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option may again be subject to an Option grant.
5. Time for Granting Options. All Options shall be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date the Plan is duly approved by the shareholders of the Company.
6. Terms, Conditions and Form of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine for each Option (which need not be identical) the number of shares of Stock for which the Option shall be granted, the option exercise price of the Option, the timing and terms of exercisability and vesting of the Option, whether the Option is to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option or as a nonqualified stock option and all other terms and conditions of the Option not inconsistent with the Plan. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by written agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish, which agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Option Exercise Price. The option exercise price for each Option shall be established in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (i) the option exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the fair market value, as determined by the Board, of a share of Stock on the date of the granting of the Option, (ii) the option exercise price per share for a nonqualified stock option shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value, as determined by the Board, of a share of Stock on the date of the granting of the Option and (iii) no Option granted to an Optionee who at the time the Option is granted owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of a Participating Company within the meaning of section 422(b)(6) of the Code (a "Ten Percent Owner Optionee") shall have an option exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value, as determined by the Board, of a share of Stock on the date of the granting of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a nonqualified stock option) may be granted with an option exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying with the provisions of section 424(a) of the Code.
(b) Exercise Period of Options. The Board shall have the power to set the time or times within which each Option shall be exercisable or the event or events upon the occurrence of which all or a portion of each Option shall be exercisable and the term of each Option; provided, however, that (i) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the date such Option is granted.
(c) Payment of Option Exercise Price. Payment of the option exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of the Company's stock owned by the Optionee having a value, as determined by the Board (but without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company), not less than the option exercise price, (iii) by the Optionee's recourse promissory note, (iv) by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or (v) by any combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to either of the standard forms of stock option agreement described in paragraph 7 below, or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the option exercise price and/or which otherwise restrict one (1) or more forms of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of the Company's stock to the extent such tender of stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation and/or agreement restricting the redemption of
2
the Company's stock. Furthermore, no promissory note shall be permitted if an exercise using a promissory note would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be due and payable not more than four (4) years after the Option is exercised, and interest shall be payable at least annually and be at least equal to the minimum interest rate necessary to avoid imputed interest pursuant to all applicable sections of the Code. The Board shall have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any promissory note used to exercise an Option with the shares of Stock acquired on exercise of the Option and/or with other collateral acceptable to the Company.
(i) Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event the Company at any time is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable regulations.
(ii) The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve and/or terminate any program and/or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of an assignment of the proceeds of a sale of some or all of the shares of Stock to be acquired upon such exercise.
7. Standard Forms of Stock Option Agreement.
(a) Incentive Stock Options. Unless otherwise provided for by the Board at the time an Option is granted, an Option designated as an "Incentive Stock Option" shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of incentive stock option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Nonqualified Stock Options. Unless otherwise provided for by the Board at the time an Option is granted, an Option designated as a "Nonqualified Stock Option" shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of nonqualified stock option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Standard Term for Options. Unless otherwise provided for by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable for a term of ten (10) years.
8. Authority to Vary Terms. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of either of the standard forms of Stock Option Agreement described in paragraph 7 above either in connection with the grant of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of such revised or amended standard form or forms of stock option agreement shall be in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
9. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to Plan. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares of Stock subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the option exercise price of any outstanding Options in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the capital structure of the Company.
10. Transfer of Control. A "Transfer of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:
(a) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the shareholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the stock of the Company where the shareholders of the Company before such sale or exchange do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such sale or exchange;
3
(b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation;
(c) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation where the shareholders of the Company before such merger or consolidation do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such merger or consolidation;
(d) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange, or transfer to one (1) or more parent or subsidiary corporations (as defined in paragraph 1 above) of the Company); or
(e) A liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
In the event of a Transfer of Control, the Board, in its sole discretion, shall either (i) provide that any unexercisable and/or unvested portion of the outstanding Options shall be immediately exercisable and vested as of a date prior to the Transfer of Control, as the Board so determines, or (ii) arrange with the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "Acquiring Corporation"), for the Acquiring Corporation to either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Options or substitute options for the Acquiring Corporation's stock for such outstanding Options. The exercise and/or vesting of any Option that was permissible solely by reason of this paragraph 10 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control. Any Options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Transfer of Control nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Transfer of Control.
11. Provision of Information. At least annually, copies of the Company's balance sheet and income statement for the just completed fiscal year shall be made available to each Optionee and purchasers of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option. The Company shall not be required to provide such information to persons whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
12. Options Non-Transferable. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
13. Termination or Amendment of Plan. The Board, including any duly appointed committee of the Board, may terminate or amend the Plan at any time; provided, however, that without the approval of the Company's shareholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the total number of shares of Stock covered by the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of paragraph 9 above), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options and (c) no expansion in the class of persons eligible to receive nonqualified stock options. In any event, no amendment may adversely affect any then outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof, without the consent of the Optionee, unless such amendment is required to enable an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.

All questions of interpretation concerning this Option Agreement shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and/or by a duly appointed committee of the Board having such powers as shall be specified by the Board. Any subsequent references herein to the Board shall also mean the committee if such committee has been appointed and, unless the powers of the committee have been specifically limited, the committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted in the Plan, including, without limitation, the power to terminate or amend the Plan at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. All determinations by the Board shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Option. Any officer of a Participating Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation, or election.
4. Exercise of the Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall first become exercisable on the Initial Exercise Date. The Option shall be exercisable on and after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the termination of the Option in the amount equal to the Number of Option Shares multiplied by the Vested Ratio as set forth in paragraph 1 above less the number of shares previously acquired upon exercise of the Option. In no event shall the Option be exercisable for more shares than the Number of Option Shares.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company which must state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with respect to such shares and other administrative matters as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement and the exercise form used by the Company. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be delivered in person or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or other authorized representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in paragraph 6 below, accompanied by (i) full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares being purchased and (ii) an executed copy, if required herein, of the then current forms of escrow and security agreements referenced below.
(c) Form of Payment of Option Exercise Price. Such payment shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of the Company's common stock owned by the Optionee having a value not less than the option price, which either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of the Company's common stock to the extent such tender of stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation and/or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's common stock.
(d) Withholding. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes payroll withholding and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for foreign, federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including, without
2
limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any shares acquired on exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired on exercise of the Option. The Optionee is cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the Company's withholding obligations are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares.
(e) Certificate Registration. The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall be exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if applicable, the heirs of the Optionee.
(f) Restrictions on Grant of the Option and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Option and the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISABLE UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. Questions concerning this restriction should be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
(g) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.
5. Non-Transferability of the Option. The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative as provided under section 422(b)(5) of the Code and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date of death, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
6. Termination of the Option. The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the Option Term Date as defined above, (b) the last date for exercising the Option following termination of employment as described in paragraph 7 below, or (c) upon a Transfer of Control as described in paragraph 8 below.
7. Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination of the Option. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Participating Company Group for any reason, except death or disability within the meaning of section 422(c) of the Code, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee, may be exercised by the Optionee within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later
3
than the Option Term Date. If the Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated because of the death or disability of the Optionee within the meaning of section 422(c) of the Code, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee's legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months from the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Term Date. The Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within thirty (30) days after the Optionee's termination of employment. Except as provided in this paragraph 7(a), the Option shall terminate and may not be exercised after the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Participating Company Group.
(b) Termination of Employment Defined. For purposes of this paragraph 7, the Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of employment or upon the Optionee's employer ceasing to be a Participating Company.
(c) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth above is prevented by the provisions of paragraph 4(f) above, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Term Date.
(d) Extension if Optionee Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth above would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Optionee's termination of employment, or (iii) the Option Term Date.
(e) Leave of Absence. For purposes hereof, the Optionee's employment with the Participating Company Group shall not be deemed to terminate if the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company of ninety (90) days or less. In the event of a leave in excess of ninety (90) days, the Optionee's employment shall be deemed to terminate on the ninety-first (91st) day of the leave unless the Optionee's right to reemployment with the Participating Company Group remains guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a leave of absence shall be treated as employment for purposes of determining the Optionee's Vested Ratio if and only if the leave of absence is designated by the Company as (or required by law to be) a leave for which vesting credit is given.
8. Transfer of Control. A "Transfer of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:
(a) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the shareholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the stock of the Company where the shareholders of the Company before such sale or exchange do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such sale or exchange;
(b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation;
(c) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation where the shareholders of the Company before such merger or consolidation do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such merger or consolidation;
4
(d) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange, or transfer to one (1) or more parent or subsidiary corporations (as defined in paragraph 1 above) of the Company); or
(e) A liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
In the event of a Transfer of Control, the Board shall provide that any unexercised and/or unvested portion of the Option shall be immediately exercisable and vested as of a date prior to the Transfer of Control determined by the Board. The Option shall terminate effective as of the date of the Transfer of Control to the extent that the Option is neither assumed nor substituted by the Acquiring Corporation nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of Control.
9. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to the Option. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, exercise price and class of shares of stock subject to the Option in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the capital structure of the Company. In the event a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to a Transfer of Control) shares of another corporation (the "New Shares"), the Company may unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares and the exercise price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner.
10. Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option has been exercised. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in paragraph 9 above. Nothing in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time.
11. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option (the "Transfer Shares") to any person or entity, including, without limitation, any shareholder of the Participating Company Group, the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this paragraph 11 (the "Right of First Refusal"). For purposes of this paragraph 11, a change in record ownership of shares, including, without limitation, any such change pursuant to a decree of divorce or marital separation, shall be deemed a transfer subject to the Right of First Refusal whether or not such change in record ownership results in a change in the beneficial ownership of such shares.
(b) Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Transfer Shares, the Optionee shall give a written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the "Proposed Transferee") and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer price and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of the proposed transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer, the proposed transfer price shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the Transfer Shares as determined by the Company in good faith. In the event the Optionee proposes to transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option to more than one (1) Proposed Transferee, the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer Notice for the proposed transfer to each Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of
5
the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for the transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First Refusal.
(c) Bona Fide Transfer. In the event that the Company shall determine that the information provided by the Optionee in the Transfer Notice is insufficient to establish the bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary transfer, the Company shall give the Optionee written notice of the Optionee's failure to comply with the procedure described in this paragraph 11 and the Optionee shall have no right to transfer the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure described in this paragraph 11. The Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the Transfer Shares if the proposed transfer is not bona fide.
(d) Exercise of the Right of First Refusal. In the event the proposed transfer is deemed to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Shares (except as the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company's exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company's ability to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued by the Optionee or issued by a person other than the Optionee with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date of the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee to any Participating Company shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled.
(e) Failure to Exercise the Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full within the period specified in paragraph 11(d) above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the procedure described in this paragraph 11.
(f) Transferees of the Transfer Shares. All transferees of the Transfer Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such Transfer Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this paragraph 11 providing for the Right of First Refusal with respect to any subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be void unless the provisions of this paragraph 11 are met.
6
(g) Transfers Not Subject to the Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any transfer or exchange of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option if such transfer is in connection with an Ownership Change. If the consideration received pursuant to such transfer or exchange consists of stock of a Participating Company, such consideration shall remain subject to the Right of First Refusal unless the provisions of paragraph 11(i) below result in a termination of the Right of First Refusal.
(h) Assignment of the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not the Optionee has attempted a transfer, to one (1) or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
(i) Early Termination of the Right of First Refusal. The other provisions of this paragraph 11 notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall terminate, and be of no further force and effect, upon (i) the occurrence of a Transfer of Control, unless the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, assumes the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan, or (ii) the existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of First Refusal. A "public market" shall be deemed to exist if (x) such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange Act) or (y) such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.
12. Escrow.
(a) Establishment of Escrow. To insure shares subject to the Right of First Refusal will be available for repurchase, the Company may require the Optionee to deposit the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares which the Optionee purchases upon exercise of the Option with an agent designated by the Company under the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement approved by the Company. If the Company does not require such deposit as a condition of exercise of the Option, the Company reserves the right at any time to require the Optionee to so deposit the certificate or certificates in escrow. The Company shall bear the expenses of the escrow.
(b) Delivery of Shares to Optionee. As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Right of First Refusal, but not more frequently than twice each calendar year, the agent shall deliver to the Optionee the shares no longer subject to such restrictions.
(c) Notices and Payments. In the event the shares held in escrow are subject to the Company's exercise of the Right of First Refusal, the notices required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent and any payment required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent. Within thirty (30) days after payment by the Company, the escrow agent shall deliver the shares which the Company has purchased to the Company and shall deliver the payment received from the Company to the Optionee.
13. Stock Dividends Subject to Option Agreement. If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, then in such event any and all new substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to the Right of First Refusal immediately before such event.
14. Notice of Sales Upon Disqualifying Disposition. The Optionee shall dispose of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option only in accordance with the provisions of this Option Agreement. In addition, the Optionee shall promptly notify the Chief Financial Officer of the Company if the Optionee disposes of any of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option within one (1) year from the
7
date the Optionee exercises all or part of the Option or within two (2) years of the date of grant of the Option. Until such time as the Optionee disposes of such shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Option Agreement, the Optionee shall hold all shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the Optionee's name (and not in the name of any nominee) for the one-year period immediately after exercise of the Option and the two-year period immediately after grant of the Option. At any time during the one-year or two-year periods set forth above, the Company may place a legend or legends on any certificate or certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option requesting the transfer agent for the Company's stock to notify the Company of any such transfers. The obligation of the Optionee to notify the Company of any such transfer shall continue notwithstanding that a legend has been placed on the certificate or certificates pursuant to the preceding sentence.
15. Representations and Warranties. In connection with the proposed purchase of the Option, the Optionee hereby agrees, represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Optionee is purchasing the Shares solely for the Optionee's own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Optionee further represents that the Optionee does not have any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Shares or any portion thereof; and that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Optionee is acquiring is being purchased for, and will be held for the account of, the Optionee only and neither in whole nor in part for any other person.
(b) The Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. The Optionee further represents and warrants that the Optionee has discussed the Company and its plans, operations and financial condition with its officers, has received all such information as the Optionee deems necessary and appropriate to enable the Optionee to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in the Shares and has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.
(c) The Optionee realizes that this purchase of the Shares will be a highly speculative investment and that the Optionee is able, without impairing his or her financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on the Optionee's investment.
(d) The Company has disclosed to the Optionee that:
(i) The sale of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act, and the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a transfer of it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares;
(ii) The Company will make a notation in its records of the aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends.
(e) The Optionee is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or an affiliate of such issuer), in a nonpublic offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things: The resale occurring not less than two years from the date the Optionee has purchased and paid for the Shares; the availability of certain public information concerning the Company; the sale being through a broker in an unsolicited "brokers transaction" or in a transaction directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Exchange Act); and that any sale of the Shares may be made by him or her only in limited amounts during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The
8
Optionee further represents that the Optionee understands that at the time the Optionee wishes to sell the Shares there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Optionee would be precluded from selling the Shares under Rule 144 even if the two-year minimum holding period had been satisfied. The Optionee represents that the Optionee understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act or compliance with an exemption from registration will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than 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.
(f) Without in any way limiting the Optionee's representations and warranties set forth above, the Optionee further agrees that the Optionee will in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares which the Optionee is purchasing unless:
(i) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said Registration Statement; or
(ii) the Optionee will have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and either:
(1) The Optionee will have furnished the Company with an opinion of the Optionee's own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act, and such opinion of the Optionee's counsel will have been concurred in by counsel for the Company and the Company will have advised the Optionee of such concurrence; or
(2) The disposition is made in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 701 after the Optionee has furnished the Company such detailed statement and after the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to discuss the matter with the Optionee.
(g) The Optionee has (i) a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration to enable the Optionee to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the person with whom such relationship exists, or (ii) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to make the Optionee capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to protect the Optionee's own interests in the transaction, or (iii) both such relationship and such knowledge and experience.
(h) The Optionee understands that the Shares have not been qualified under the Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, of the State of California by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee's representations as expressed herein. the Optionee understands that the Company is relying on the Optionee's representations and warrants that the Company is entitled to rely on such representations and that such reliance is reasonable.
16. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Right of First Refusal set forth in paragraph 11 above, and any applicable federal or state securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement. The
9
Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph 16. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(a) "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT."
(b) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California.
(c) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION."
(d) "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED BY THE CORPORATION TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 422 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED ("ISO"). IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE PREFERENTIAL TAX TREATMENT AFFORDED TO ISOs, THE SHARES SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO . SHOULD THE REGISTERED HOLDER ELECT TO TRANSFER ANY OF THE SHARES PRIOR TO THIS DATE AND FOREGO ISO TAX TREATMENT, THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE SHARES SHALL NOTIFY THE CORPORATION IMMEDIATELY. THE REGISTERED HOLDER SHALL HOLD ALL SHARES PURCHASED UNDER THE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION IN THE REGISTERED HOLDER'S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY NOMINEE) PRIOR TO THIS DATE OR UNTIL TRANSFERRED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE."
17. Public Offerings. The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the initial public offering under the Securities Act.
18. Binding Effect. This Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
19. Termination or Amendment. The Board, including any duly appointed committee of the Board, may terminate or amend the Plan and/or the Option at any time; provided, however, that no
10
such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Option or any unexercised portion hereof without the consent of the Optionee unless such amendment is required to enable the Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.
20. Integrated Agreement. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Participating Company Group with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among the Optionee and the Company other than those as set forth or provided for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in full force and effect.
21. Applicable Law. This Option Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of California.

4. Exercise of the Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall first become exercisable on the Initial Exercise Date. The Option shall be exercisable on and after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the termination of the Option in the amount equal to the Number of Option Shares multiplied by the Vested Ratio as set forth in paragraph 1 above less the number of shares previously acquired upon exercise of the Option. In no event shall the Option be exercisable for more shares than the Number of Option Shares.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company which must state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with respect to such shares and other administrative matters as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement and the exercise form used by the Company. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be delivered in person or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or other authorized representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in paragraph 6 below, accompanied by (i) full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares being purchased and (ii) an executed copy, if required herein, of the then current forms of escrow and security agreements referenced below.
(c) Form of Payment of Option Exercise Price. Such payment shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of the Company's common stock owned by the Optionee having a value not less than the option price, which either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of the Company's common stock to the extent such tender of stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation and/or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's common stock.
(d) Withholding. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes payroll withholding and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for foreign, federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any shares acquired on exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired on exercise of the Option. The Optionee is cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the Company's withholding obligations are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even
2
though the Option is vested and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares.
(e) Certificate Registration. The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall be exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if applicable, the heirs of the Optionee.
(f) Restrictions on Grant of the Option and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Option and the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISABLE UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. Questions concerning this restriction should be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
(g) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.
5. Non-Transferability of the Option. The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of an individual Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative as provided under section 422(b)(5) of the Code and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date of death, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. In case of an Optionee which is an entity other than an individual (or partnership or other group of individuals), the Option shall cease to be exercisable upon the dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Optionee.
6. Termination of the Option. The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the Option Term Date as defined above, (b) the last date for exercising the Option following termination of employment as described in paragraph 7 below, or (c) upon a Transfer of Control as described in paragraph 8 below.
7. Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination of the Option. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Participating Company Group for any reason, except death or disability within the meaning of section 422(c) of the Code, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee, may be exercised by the Optionee within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Term Date. If the Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated because of the death or disability of the Optionee within the meaning of section 422(c) of the Code, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which
3
the Optionee ceased to be an employee, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee's legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months from the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Term Date. The Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within thirty (30) days after the Optionee's termination of employment. Except as provided in this paragraph 7(a), the Option shall terminate and may not be exercised after the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Participating Company Group.
(b) Termination of Employment Defined. For purposes of this paragraph 7, the Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of employment or upon the Optionee's employer ceasing to be a Participating Company.
(c) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth above is prevented by the provisions of paragraph 4(f) above, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Term Date.
(d) Extension if Optionee Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth above would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Optionee's termination of employment, or (iii) the Option Term Date.
(e) Leave of Absence. For purposes hereof, the Optionee's employment with the Participating Company Group shall not be deemed to terminate if the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company of ninety (90) days or less. In the event of a leave in excess of ninety (90) days, the Optionee's employment shall be deemed to terminate on the ninety-first (91st) day of the leave unless the Optionee's right to reemployment with the Participating Company Group remains guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a leave of absence shall be treated as employment for purposes of determining the Optionee's Vested Ratio if and only if the leave of absence is designated by the Company as (or required by law to be) a leave for which vesting credit is given.
(f) Application to Directors Consultants and Advisor. For purposes of this Option Agreement, in the event the Optionee is a director or consultant or advisor but not an employee of a Participating Company at the time the Option is granted, termination of the Optionee's status as a director or consultant or advisor of the Participating Company shall be deemed to be termination of the Optionee's employment.
8. Transfer of Control. A "Transfer of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:
(a) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the shareholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the stock of the Company where the shareholders of the Company before such sale or exchange do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such sale or exchange;
(b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation;
(c) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation where the shareholders of the Company before such merger or consolidation do not retain, directly or
4
indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such merger or consolidation;
(d) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange, or transfer to one (1) or more parent or subsidiary corporations (as defined in paragraph 1 above) of the Company); or
(e) A liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
In the event of a Transfer of Control, the Board shall provide that any unexercised and/or unvested portion of the Option shall be immediately exercisable and vested as of a date prior to the Transfer of Control determined by the Board. The Option shall terminate effective as of the date of the Transfer of Control to the extent that the Option is neither assumed nor substituted by the Acquiring Corporation nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of Control.
9. Effect of Chang in Stock Subject to the Option. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, exercise price and class of shares of stock subject to the Option in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the capital structure of the Company. In the event a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to a Transfer of Control) shares of another corporation (the "New Shares"), the Company may unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares and the exercise price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner.
10. Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option has been exercised. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in paragraph 9 above. Nothing in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time.
11. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option (the "Transfer Shares") to any person or entity, including, without limitation, any shareholder of the Participating Company Group, the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this paragraph 11 (the "Right of First Refusal"). For purposes of this paragraph 11, a change in record ownership of shares, including, without limitation, any such change pursuant to a decree of divorce or marital separation, shall be deemed a transfer subject to the Right of First Refusal whether or not such change in record ownership results in a change in the beneficial ownership of such shares.
(b) Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Transfer Shares, the Optionee shall give a written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the "Proposed Transferee") and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer price and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of the proposed transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer, the proposed transfer price shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the Transfer Shares as determined by the Company in good faith. In the event the Optionee proposes to transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option to more than one (1) Proposed Transferee, the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer
5
Notice for the proposed transfer to each Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for the transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First Refusal.
(c) Bona Fide Transfer. In the event that the Company shall determine that the information provided by the Optionee in the Transfer Notice is insufficient to establish the bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary transfer, the Company shall give the Optionee written notice of the Optionee's failure to comply with the procedure described in this paragraph 11 and the Optionee shall have no right to transfer the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure described in this paragraph 11. The Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the Transfer Shares if the proposed transfer is not bona fide.
(d) Exercise of the Right of First Refusal. In the event the proposed transfer is deemed to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Shares (except as the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company's exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company's ability to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued by the Optionee or issued by a person other than the Optionee with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date of the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee to any Participating Company shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled.
(e) Failure to Exercise the Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full within the period specified in paragraph 11(d) above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the procedure described in this paragraph 11.
(f) Transferees of the Transfer Shares. All transferees of the Transfer Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such Transfer Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this paragraph 11 providing for the Right of First Refusal with respect to any subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of any shares
6
acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be void unless the provisions of this paragraph 11 are met.
(g) Transfers Not Subject to the Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any transfer or exchange of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option if such transfer is in connection with an Ownership Change. If the consideration received pursuant to such transfer or exchange consists of stock of a Participating Company, such consideration shall remain subject to the Right of First Refusal unless the provisions of paragraph 11(i) below result in a termination of the Right of First Refusal.
(h) Assignment of the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not the Optionee has attempted a transfer, to one (1) or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
(i) Early Termination of the Right of First Refusal. The other provisions of this paragraph 11 notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall terminate, and be of no further force and effect, upon (i) the occurrence of a Transfer of Control, unless the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, assumes the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan, or (ii) the existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of First Refusal. A "public market" shall be deemed to exist if (x) such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange Act) or (y) such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.
12. Escrow.
(a) Establishment of Escrow. To insure shares subject to the Right of First Refusal will be available for repurchase, the Company may require the Optionee to deposit the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares which the Optionee purchases upon exercise of the Option with an agent designated by the Company under the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement approved by the Company. If the Company does not require such deposit as a condition of exercise of the Option, the Company reserves the right at any time to require the Optionee to so deposit the certificate or certificates in escrow. The Company shall bear the expenses of the escrow.
(b) Delivery of Shares to Optionee. As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Right of First Refusal, but not more frequently than twice each calendar year, the agent shall deliver to the Optionee the shares no longer subject to such restrictions.
(c) Notices and Payments. In the event the shares held in escrow are subject to the Company's exercise of the Right of First Refusal, the notices required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent and any payment required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent. Within thirty (30) days after payment by the Company, the escrow agent shall deliver the shares which the Company has purchased to the Company and shall deliver the payment received from the Company to the Optionee.
13. Stock Dividends Subject to Option Agreement. If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, then in such event any and all new substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to the Right of First Refusal immediately before such event.
7
14. Representations and Warranties. In connection with the proposed purchase of the Option, the Optionee hereby agrees, represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Optionee is purchasing the Shares solely for the Optionee's own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Optionee further represents that the Optionee does not have any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Shares or any portion thereof; and that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Optionee is acquiring is being purchased for, and will be held for the account of, the Optionee only and neither in whole nor in part for any other person.
(b) The Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. The Optionee further represents and warrants that the Optionee has discussed the Company and its plans, operations and financial condition with its officers, has received all such information as the Optionee deems necessary and appropriate to enable the Optionee to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in the Shares and has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.
(c) The Optionee realizes that this purchase of the Shares will be a highly speculative investment and that the Optionee is able, without impairing his or her financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on the Optionee's investment.
(d) The Company has disclosed to the Optionee that:
(i) The sale of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act, and the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a transfer of it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares;
(ii) The Company will make a notation in its records of the aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends.
(e) The Optionee is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or an affiliate of such issuer), in a nonpublic offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things: The resale occurring not less than two years from the date the Optionee has purchased and paid for the Shares; the availability of certain public information concerning the Company; the sale being through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in a transaction directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Exchange Act); and that any sale of the Shares may be made by him or her only in limited amounts during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Optionee further represents that the Optionee understands that at the time the Optionee wishes to sell the Shares there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Optionee would be precluded from selling the Shares under Rule 144 even if the two-year minimum holding period had been satisfied. The Optionee represents that the Optionee understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act or compliance with an exemption from registration will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a
8
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.
(f) Without in any way limiting the Optionee's representations and warranties set forth above, the Optionee further agrees that the Optionee will in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares which the Optionee is purchasing unless:
(i) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said Registration Statement; or
(ii) the Optionee will have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and either:
(1) The Optionee will have furnished the Company with an opinion of the Optionee's own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act, and such opinion of the Optionee's counsel will have been concurred in by counsel for the Company and the Company will have advised the Optionee of such concurrence; or
(2) The disposition is made in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 701 after the Optionee has furnished the Company such detailed statement and after the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to discuss the matter with the Optionee.
(g) The Optionee has (i) a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration to enable the Optionee to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the person with whom such relationship exists, or (ii) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to make the Optionee capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to protect the Optionee's own interests in the transaction, or (iii) both such relationship and such knowledge and experience.
(h) The Optionee understands that the Shares have not been qualified under the Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, of the State of California by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee's representations as expressed herein. the Optionee understands that the Company is relying on the Optionee's representations and warrants that the Company is entitled to rely on such representations and that such reliance is reasonable.
15. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Right of First Refusal set forth in paragraph 11 above, and any applicable federal or state securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph 15. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(a) "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE
9
701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT."
(b) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California.
(c) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION."
16. Public Offerings. The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the initial public offering under the Securities Act.
17. Binding Effect. This Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
18. Termination or Amendment. The Board, including any duly appointed committee of the Board, may terminate or amend the Plan and/or the Option at any time; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Option or any unexercised portion hereof without the consent of the Optionee.
19. Integrated Agreement. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Participating Company Group with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among the Optionee and the Company other than those as set forth or provided for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in full force and effect.
10
20. Applicable Law. This Option Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of California.

4. Administration of the Plan.
(a) Procedure.
(i) Administration With Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees who are also officers or directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board, if the Board may administer the Plan in compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto ("Rule 16b-3") with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan, or (B) a Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan.
(ii) Multiple Administrative Bodies. If permitted by Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to directors, non-director officers and Employees who are neither directors nor officers.
(iii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees who are neither directors nor officers of the Company or to Consultants, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board, if the Board may administer the Plan in compliance with Rule 16b-3, or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the legal requirements relating to the administration of incentive stock option plans, if any, of California corporate law and applicable securities laws and of the Code (the "Applicable Laws"). Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.
(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2(l) of the Plan;
(ii) to select the officers, Consultants and Employees to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options, stock grants, stock purchase rights or SARs, or any combination thereof, are granted hereunder;
(iv) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each such Award granted hereunder;
(v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the share price and any
3
restriction or limitation or waiver of forfeiture restrictions regarding any Option or other Award and/or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion);
(vii) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option or SAR may be settled in cash under subsection 9(f) instead of Common Stock;
(viii) to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under this Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the participant (including providing for and determining the amount, if any, of any deemed earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period);
(ix) to reduce the exercise price of any Option or SAR to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Option or SAR shall have declined since the date the Option or SAR was granted; and
(x) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to stock grants, stock purchase rights and the Restricted Stock granted by such stock grant or purchased by exercising such stock purchase rights.
(c) Effect of Committee's Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of any Awards granted hereunder.
5. Eligibility.
(a) Nonstatutory Stock Options and SARs may be granted to Employees, non-Employee Members of the Board and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option or SAR may, if he is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options or SARs.
(b) Each Option shall be designated in the written option agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.
(c) For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(d) The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company's right to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
6. Vesting. Options or SARs granted under the Plan shall vest in annual increments of at least 20% over not more than five years from the date of each option grant, provided that the Plan Administrator may provide in any Agreement issued pursuant to the Plan that an option may become fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment, at any time or during any period established by the Plan Administrator.
7. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the shareholders of the Company as described in Section 19 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 15 of the Plan.
4
8. Terms of Options and SARs. The term of each Option or SAR shall be the term stated in the written agreement evidencing such Option or SAR; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. However, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the written agreement evidencing such Option.
9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
(a) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Board, but shall be subject to the following:
(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(B) granted to any Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option
(A) granted to a person who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant.
(B) granted to any person, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (5) authorization from the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the option is exercised, (6) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (7) by delivering an irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares which irrevocably obligates the option holder to take and pay for the Shares not more than twelve months after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement, (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (9) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
5
10. Exercise of Options or SARs.
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option or SAR granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Participant, and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan.
An Option or SAR may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option or SAR shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option or SAR by the person entitled to exercise such Option or SAR and, if an Option is to be exercised, full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
Exercise of an Option or SAR in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option or SAR, by the number of Shares as to which the Option or SAR is exercised.
(b) Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of a Participant's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee with the Company (as the case may be), such Participant may, but only within ninety (90) days (or such other period of time as is determined by the Board, with such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of grant of the Option and not exceeding ninety (90) days) after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the written agreement evidencing such Option or SAR), exercise his Option or SAR to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that such Participant was not entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the date of such termination, or if such Participant does not exercise such Option or SAR to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate.
(c) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) above, in the event of termination of a Participant's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Participant may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the written agreement evidencing such Option or SAR), exercise the Option or SAR to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that such Participant was not entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the date of termination, or if such Participant does not exercise such Option or SAR to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate.
(d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of a Participant, the Option or SAR may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the written agreement evidencing such Option or SAR), by the Participant's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the date of death. To the extent that
6
such Participant was not entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the date of death, or if such Participant's estate or any person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance does not exercise such Option or SAR to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate.
(e) Rule 16b-3. Options or SARs granted to persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exception from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.
(f) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option or SAR previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made.
(g) Payout Provisions. At the discretion of the Company, the payment to a Participant upon exercise of a SAR, may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof, subject to the availability of Shares to the Company under the Plan.
11. Non-Transferability of Options or SARs. The Option or SAR may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. The terms of the Option or SAR shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.
12. Stock Grants and Stock Purchase Rights.
(a) Awards and Rights to Purchase. Stock grants and stock purchase rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will make a stock grant or offer stock purchase rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the grant or offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be granted or entitled to purchase and, in the case of a right to purchase (i) the price to be paid [which price shall not be less than 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of the offer], and (ii) the time within which such person must accept such offer, [which shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days from the date upon which the Administrator made the determination to grant the stock purchase right]. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock purchase agreement, as the case may be, in the form determined by the Administrator.
(b) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock grant agreement and purchase agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock grant agreements or purchase agreements need not be the same with respect to each purchaser.
(c) Rights as a Shareholder. Once the stock grant is completed or a stock purchase right is exercised, the grantee or purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her grant or purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock grant is completed or the stock purchase right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
13. Stock Withholding to Satisfy Withholding Tax Obligations. At the discretion of the Administrator, Participants may satisfy withholding obligations as provided in this paragraph. When a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with an Option, stock grant, stock purchase right or SAR,
7
which tax liability is subject to tax withholding under applicable tax laws, and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Participant may satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option or SAR, or the Shares to be issued in connection with the stock grant or stock purchase right, if any, that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").
In the event that the Company elects to make a payment to the Participant in cash upon the exercise of a SAR, the Participant may satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from such payment the amount required to satisfy such withholding tax obligation.
All elections by a Participant to have Shares or cash withheld for this purpose, as the case may be, shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;
(b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares of the Option, stock purchase right or SAR, as to which the election is made;
(c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator;
(d) if the Participant is subject to Rule 16b-3, the election must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and shall be subject to such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.
In the event the election to have Shares or cash withheld is made by a Participant and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall receive the full number of Shares or full amount of cash, as the case may be, with respect to which the Option, stock grant, stock purchase right or SAR is exercised but such Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares, or the proper amount of cash, as the case may be, on the Tax Date.
14. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option or SAR, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or SARs have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or SAR, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or SAR, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or SAR.
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify the Participant at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option or SAR will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
8
proposed action. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (hereinafter, a "merger"), the Option or SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or stock appreciation right shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event that such successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option or SAR, or to substitute an equivalent option or stock appreciation right, the Board shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Participant to have the right to exercise all Options or SARs previously granted to such Participant, including Options or SARs which would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Board makes an Option or SAR fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger, the Board shall notify the Participant that the Option or SAR shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR will terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the merger, the Option or SAR, confers the right to purchase, or receive the appreciation in Fair Market Value, as the case may be, for each Share of stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR, for each Share of stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.
15. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option or SAR shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or SAR, or such other date as is determined by the Board. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option or SAR is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
16. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Participant under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or regulation, including the requirements of the NASD or an established stock exchange), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
(b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options or SARs already granted and such Options or SARs shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.
17. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR unless the exercise of such Option or SAR and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
9
As a condition to the exercise of an Option or SAR, the Company may require the person exercising such Option or SAR to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.
18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
19. Agreements. Options, stock grants, stock purchase rights and SARs shall be evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Administrator shall approve from time to time.
20. Shareholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law.
21. Information to Participants. The Company shall provide to each Participant, during the period for which such Participant has one or more Options or SARs outstanding, copies of all annual reports and other information which are provided to all shareholders of the Company. Further, the Company shall provide to each such Participant, at least annually, financial statements prepared by management of the Company. The Company shall not be required to provide such information or financial statement if the issuance of Options or SARs under the Plan is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

All determinations by the Board shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Option.
4. Exercise of the Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall become exercisable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in Section 1 above. In no event shall the Option be exercisable for more shares than the Number of Option Shares.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company which must state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with respect to such shares relating to compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws and other administrative matters as reasonably may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement and the exercise form used by the Company. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and is not effective until it is delivered in person or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the President of the Company prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in paragraph 6 below, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares being purchased.

At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes payroll withholding and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for foreign, federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Option. The Optionee is cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the Company's withholding obligations are satisfied.

The issuance of the shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations. In addition, the Option may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Optionee is cautioned that the Option may not be exercisable unless the foregoing conditions are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested. Questions concerning this restriction should be directed to the President of the Company. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
(g) Fractional Shares. The Company at its discretion shall determine whether to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option or to pay to the Optionee cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional shares.
5. Non-Transferability of the Option. The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date of death, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
6. Termination of the Option. The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the Option Termination Date as defined above, (b) the last date for exercising the Option following termination of employment as described in paragraph 7 below, or (c) upon an "Ownership Change" to the extent provided in paragraph 8 below.
7. Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination of the Option.
(i) Termination for Cause. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of "termination for cause," as defined below, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee, shall terminate on the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated. For the purposes of this paragraph 7(a)(i), "termination for cause" shall mean an involuntary termination by the Company or a voluntary termination by the Optionee as a result of or in connection with the following events:
(1) the Optionee's intentional, persistent failure, dereliction, or refusal to perform such duties as are reasonably assigned to him or her by the officers and directors of the Company from time to time; or
3
(2) the Optionee's fraud, dishonesty, or other deliberate injury to the Company in the performance of his or her duties; or
(3) the Optionee's conviction of a crime which constitutes a felony involving moral turpitude, fraud or deceit in the jurisdiction in which the Optionee is employed, regardless of whether such crime involves the Company; or
(4) the Optionee's material breach of his or her employment agreement or willful, improper disclosure of confidential information relating to the Company.
(ii) Death or Disability. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of the death or disability of the Optionee within the meaning of Section 422(c) of the Code, the Option, to the extent unexercised by the Optionee may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee's legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year from the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Termination Date.
(iii) Other Termination. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason, except death or disability within the meaning of Section 422(c) of the Code or "termination for cause," as defined in paragraph 7(a)(i) above, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee, may be exercised by the Optionee within three (3) months after the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Termination Date.
Except as provided in this paragraph 7(a), the Option shall terminate and may not be exercised after the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company.
(b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth above is prevented by the provisions of paragraph 4(f) above, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Termination Date.
8. Ownership Change.
(a) In the event of (i) the acquisition of the Company, including a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the existing shareholders do not retain a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company, (ii) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the shareholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the stock of the Company where shareholders of the Company before such sale or exchange do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such sale or exchange; or (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange, or transfer to one or more parent or subsidiary corporations of the Company), the successor entity may either assume the Option or substitute it with an equivalent option, or the Board shall provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise all Options previously granted including Options that would otherwise not be exercisable, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
(b) In the event of a proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen days prior to the proposed action.
In the event of an Ownership Change, the Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Ownership Change to the extent that the Option is neither assumed or substituted for in connection with the Ownership Change nor exercised as of the date of the Ownership Change.
4
9. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to the Option. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, exercise price and class of shares of stock subject to the Option in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the capital structure of the Company. In the event a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become shares of another corporation (the "New Shares"), the Company may unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares and the exercise price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner.
10. Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option has been exercised. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in paragraph 9 above. Nothing in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time.
11. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option (the "Transfer Shares") to any person or entity, the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this paragraph 11 (the "Right of First Refusal").
(b) Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Transfer Shares, the Optionee shall give a written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the "Proposed Transferee") and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer price and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of the proposed transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer, the proposed transfer price shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the Transfer Shares as determined by the Company in good faith. In the event the Optionee proposes to transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option to more than one (1) Proposed Transferee, the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer Notice for the proposed transfer to each Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for the transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First Refusal.
(c) Bona Fide Transfer. In the event that the Company shall determine that the information provided by the Optionee in the Transfer Notice is insufficient to establish the bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary transfer, the Company shall give the Optionee written notice of the Optionee's failure to comply with the procedure described in this paragraph 11 and the Optionee shall have no right to transfer the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure described in this paragraph 11. The Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the Transfer Shares if the proposed transfer is not bona fide.
(d) Exercise of the Right of First Refusal. In the event the proposed transfer is deemed to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Transfer Shares at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company's exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company's ability to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is
5
issued by the Optionee or issued by a person other than the Optionee with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date of the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled.
(e) Failure to Exercise the Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full within the period specified in paragraph 11(d) above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the procedure described in this paragraph 11.
(f) Transferees of the Transfer Shares. All transferees of the Transfer Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such Transfer Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this paragraph 11 providing for the Right of First Refusal with respect to any subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be void unless the provisions of this paragraph 11 are met.
(g) Assignment of the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not the Optionee has attempted a transfer, to one (1) or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
12. Stock Dividends Subject to Option Agreement. If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, then in such event any and all new substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to the Right of First Refusal immediately before such event.
13. Notice of Sales Upon Disqualifying Disposition. The Optionee shall dispose of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option only in accordance with the provisions of this Option Agreement. In addition, the Optionee shall promptly notify the President of the Company if the Optionee disposes of any of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option within one (1) year from the date the Optionee exercises all or part of the Option or within two (2) years of the date of grant of the Option. Until such time as the Optionee disposes of such shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Option Agreement, the Optionee shall hold all shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the
6
Optionee's name (and not in the name of any nominee) for the one-year period immediately after exercise of the Option and the two-year period immediately after grant of the Option. At any time during the one-year or two-year periods set forth above, the Company may place a legend or legends on any certificate or certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option requesting the transfer agent for the Company's stock to notify the Company of any such transfers. The obligation of the Optionee to notify the company of any such transfer shall continue notwithstanding that a legend has been placed on the certificate or certificates pursuant to the preceding sentence.
14. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Right of First Refusal set forth in paragraph 11 above and any applicable federal or state securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph 14. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(a) "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT."
(b) Any legend required to be placed thereon by applicable law.
(c) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION."
15. Initial Public Offerings. The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the initial public offering under the Securities Act. The Optionee shall be subject to this paragraph provided and only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar arrangements.
16. Binding Effect. This Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
17. Termination or Amendment. The Board, including any duly appointed committee of the Board, may terminate or amend the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall
7
deprive any person, without such person's consent, of any rights previously granted pursuant to this Option Agreement.
18. Incorporation of Terms of Plan; Integrated Agreement. The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Company with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among the Optionee and the Company other than those as set forth or provided for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in full force and effect.
19. Applicable Law. This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its choice of law provisions.

If the Optionee is an employee at the time the option is granted and thereafter ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason, except death or "termination for cause," as defined in paragraph 7(a)(i) above, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee, may be exercised by the Optionee within three (3) months after the date on which the Optionee's employment terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Termination Date.
Except as provided in this paragraph 7(a), the Option shall terminate and may not be exercised after the Optionee, if an employee on the date the option is granted, ceases to be an employee of the Company.
(b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth above is prevented by the provisions of paragraph 4(f) above, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Termination Date.
8. Ownership Change. An "Ownership Change" shall be deemed to have occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:
(a) In the event of (i) the acquisition of the Company, including a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the existing shareholders do not retain a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company, (ii) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the shareholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the stock of the Company where shareholders of the Company before such sale or exchange do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company after such sale or exchange; or (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange, or transfer to one or more parent or subsidiary corporations of the Company), the successor entity may either assume the Option or substitute it with an equivalent option, or the Board shall provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise all Options previously granted including Options that would otherwise not be exercisable, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
(b) In the event of a proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen days prior to the proposed action.
In the event of an Ownership Change, the Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Ownership Change to the extent that the Option is neither assumed or substituted for in connection with the Ownership Change nor exercised as of the date of the Ownership Change.
9. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to the Option. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, exercise price and class of shares of stock subject to the Option in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the capital structure of the Company. In the event a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become
4
shares of another corporation (the "New Shares"), the Company may unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares and the exercise price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner.
10. Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option has been exercised. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in paragraph 9 above. Nothing in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or, in the case of an Optionee who is an employee on the date the option is granted, interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time.
11. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option (the "Transfer Shares") to any person or entity, the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this paragraph 11 (the "Right of First Refusal").
(b) Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Transfer Shares, the Optionee shall give a written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the "Proposed Transferee") and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer price and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of the proposed transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer, the proposed transfer price shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the Transfer Shares as determined by the Company in good faith. In the event the Optionee proposes to transfer any shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option to more than one (1) Proposed Transferee, the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer Notice for the proposed transfer to each Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for the transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First Refusal.
(c) Bona Fide Transfer. In the event that the Company shall determine that the information provided by the Optionee in the Transfer Notice is insufficient to establish the bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary transfer, the Company shall give the Optionee written notice of the Optionee's failure to comply with the procedure described in this paragraph 11 and the Optionee shall have no right to transfer the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure described in this paragraph 11. The Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the Transfer Shares if the proposed transfer is not bona fide.
(d) Exercise of the Right of First Refusal. In the event the proposed transfer is deemed to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Transfer Shares at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company's exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company's ability to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued by the Optionee or issued by a person other than the Optionee with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date of the
5
Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled.
(e) Failure to Exercise the Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full within the period specified in paragraph 11(d) above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the procedure described in this paragraph 11.
(f) Transferees of the Transfer Shares. All transferees of the Transfer Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such Transfer Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this paragraph 11 providing for the Right of First Refusal with respect to any subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be void unless the provisions of this paragraph 11 are met.
(g) Assignment of the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not the Optionee has attempted a transfer, to one (1) or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
12. Stock Dividends Subject to Option Agreement. If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, then in such event any and all new substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to the Right of First Refusal immediately before such event.
13. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Right of First Refusal set forth in paragraph 11 above and any applicable federal or state securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to effectuate the provisions of this paragraph 13. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(a) "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH
6
SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT."
(b) Any legend required to be placed thereon by applicable law.
(c) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION."
14. Initial Public Offerings. The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the initial public offering under the Securities Act. The Optionee shall be subject to this paragraph provided and only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar arrangements.
15. Binding Effect. This Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
16. Termination or Amendment. The Board, including any duly appointed committee of the Board, may terminate or amend the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall deprive any person, without such person's consent, of any rights previously granted pursuant to this Option Agreement.
17. Incorporation of Terms of Plan; Integrated Agreement. The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Company with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among the Optionee and the Company other than those as set forth or provided for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in full force and effect.
18. Applicable Law. This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its choice of law provisions.

Exhibit 10.7
ACCURAY INCORPORATED
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of , 2006, by and between Accuray Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ("Indemnitee").
A. The Company recognizes the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance.
B. The Company further recognizes the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited.
C. The current protection available to directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates of the Company may not be adequate under the present circumstances, and directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates of the Company (or persons who may be alleged or deemed to be the same), including the Indemnitee, may not be willing to continue to serve or be associated with the Company in such capacities without additional protection.
D. The Company (a) desires to attract and retain the involvement of highly qualified persons, such as Indemnitee, to serve and be associated with the Company, and (b) accordingly, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law.
E. In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced expenses by the Company as set forth herein.
In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Certain Definitions.
(a) "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities (as defined below), (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or
(iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
(b) "Claim" shall mean with respect to a Covered Event (as defined below): any threatened, asserted, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other.
(c) References to the "Company" shall include, in addition to Accuray Incorporated, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which Accuray Incorporated (or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) is a party, which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(d) "Covered Event" shall mean any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in such capacity.
(e) "Expenses" shall mean any and all losses, claims, damages expenses and liabilities, joint or several (including attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or to participate in, any action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred, of any Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement.
(f) "Expense Advance" shall mean a payment to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3 of Expenses in advance of the settlement of or final judgement in any action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation, which constitutes a Claim.
(g) "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean an attorney or firm of attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee within the last three (3) years (other than with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).
(h) References to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
2
believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Company" as referred to in this Agreement.
(i) "Reviewing Party" shall mean, subject to the provisions of Section 2(d), any person or body appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law to review the Company's obligations hereunder and under applicable law, which may include a member or members of the Company's Board of Directors, Independent Legal Counsel or any other person or body not a party to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification.
(j) "Section" refers to a section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
(k) "Voting Securities" shall mean any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors.
2. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any Claim (whether by reason of or arising in part out of a Covered Event), including all interest, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with or in respect of such Expenses.
(b) Review of Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Reviewing Party shall have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which Independent Legal Counsel is the Reviewing Party) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law, (i) the Company shall have no further obligation under Section 2(a) to make any payments to Indemnitee not made prior to such determination by such Reviewing Party and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all Expenses theretofore paid in indemnifying Indemnitee (within thirty (30) days after such determination); provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law, any determination made by any Reviewing Party that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expenses theretofore paid in indemnifying Indemnitee until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expenses shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
(c) Indemnitee Rights on Unfavorable Determination; Binding Effect. If any Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by such Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and, subject to the provisions of Section 15, the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Absent such litigation, any determination by any Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.
(d) Selection of Reviewing Party; Change in Control. If there has not been a Change in Control, any Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), any Reviewing Party with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification of Expenses under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company's
3
Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, or under any other applicable law, if desired by Indemnitee, shall be Independent Legal Counsel selected by the Indemnitee and approved by Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay Expenses of more than one Independent Legal Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single Indemnitee, and such Independent Legal Counsel shall be the Independent Legal Counsel for any or all other Indemnitees unless (i) the Company otherwise determines or (ii) any Indemnitee shall provide a written statement setting forth in detail a reasonable objection to such Independent Legal Counsel representing other Indemnitees.
(e) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 10 hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any Claim, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.
(f) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnitee, then in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee thereunder, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Indemnitee as a result of such Expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with the registration of the Company's securities, the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and Indemnitee, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities so offered. The relative fault of the Company and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or Indemnitee and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2(f) were determined by pro rata or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In connection with the registration of the Company's securities, in no event shall Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount under this Section 2(f) in excess of the net proceeds received by Indemnitee from its sale of securities under such registration statement. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(1) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
3. Expense Advances.
(a) Obligation to Make Expense Advances. The Company shall make Expense Advances to Indemnitee upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such
4
amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified therefor by the Company.
(b) Form of Undertaking. Any written undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay any Expense Advances hereunder shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
4. Procedures for Indemnification and Expense Advances.
(a) Timing of Payments. All payments of Expenses (including without limitation Expense Advances) by the Company to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable after written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company, except in the case of Expense Advances, which shall be made no later than twenty (20) days after such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company.
(b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified or Indemnitee's right to receive Expense Advances under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
(c) No Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of any Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by any Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under this Agreement or applicable law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In connection with any determination by any Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.
(d) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification for or make any Expense Advances with respect to the Expenses of any Claim, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of the Company's election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided, however, that
5
(i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee's separate counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee's expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's separate counsel shall be Expenses for which Indemnitee may receive indemnification or Expense Advances hereunder. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion, including the right to settle any claim, action or proceeding against Indemnitee without the consent of Indemnitee, provided that the terms of such settlement include either: (i) a full release of Indemnitee by the claimant from all liabilities or potential liabilities under such claim; or (ii), in the event such full release is not obtained, the terms of such settlement do not limit any indemnification right Indemnitee may now, or hereafter, be entitled to under this Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") or otherwise.
5. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.
(a) Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 10(a) hereof.
(b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and the payment of Expense Advances provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the DGCL, or otherwise. The indemnification and the payment of Expense Advances provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though subsequent thereto Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.
6. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable hereunder.
7. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.
8. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be required in the future to undertake with the
6
Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company's right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.
9. Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most favorably insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company's key employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary.
10. Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a) Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 10(a) regarding the Company's obligation to provide indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has engaged in acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law.
(b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or make Expense Advances to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or cross claim, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Covered Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the DGCL, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, Expense Advances or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
(c) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any action instituted (i) by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having jurisdiction over such action determines as provided in Section 13 that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was frivolous, or (ii) by or in the name of the Company to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having jurisdiction over such action determines as provided in Section 13 that each of the material defenses asserted by Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous.
(d) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 10(d) regarding the Company's obligation to provide indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has violated said statute.
7
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile or electronic transmission, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, together, shall constitute one instrument.
12. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company's request.
13. Expenses Incurred in Action Relating to Enforcement or Interpretation. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action (including without limitation attorneys' fees), regardless of whether Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such action, unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including without limitation costs and expenses incurred with respect to Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material defenses asserted by Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action.
14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and signed for by the party addressed, on the date of such delivery, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice.
15. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for Kent County, which shall be the exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim.
8
16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
17. Choice of Law. This Agreement, and all rights, remedies, liabilities, powers and duties of the parties to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
18. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
19. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
20. Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.
21. No Construction as Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.

Exhibit 10.8
[ACCURAY LETTERHEAD]
November 10, 2006
Euan Thomson, Ph.D.
Dear Euan:
Accuray Incorporated (the "Company") is pleased to offer to continue your employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this letter, effective as of November 10, 2006 (the "Effective Date"). This letter amends and restates in its entirety that certain employment letter, dated as of January 25, 2002, between you and the Company (the "Original Employment Letter").
1. TERM. The employment relationship between you and the Company will be at-will. You and the Company will have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, and without any liability or obligation except as may be expressly provided herein.
2. POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. During the period of the employment relationship between you and the Company (the "Term"), the Company will employ you, and you agree to be employed by the Company, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In the capacity of Chief Executive Officer, you will have such duties and responsibilities as are normally associated with such position and will devote your full business time and attention serving the Company in such position. Your duties may be changed from time to time by the Company, consistent with your position. You will report to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), and will work full-time at our principal offices located at 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California 94089 (or such other location in the greater Sunnyvale area as the Company may utilize as its principal offices), except for travel to other locations as may be necessary to fulfill your responsibilities.
3. BASE COMPENSATION. During the Term, the Company will pay you a base salary of $420,000 per year, less payroll deductions and all required withholdings, payable in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices and prorated for any partial month of employment. Your base salary may be subject to increase pursuant to the Company's policies as in effect from time to time.
4. ANNUAL BONUS. In addition to the base salary set forth above, during the Term, you will be eligible to participate in the Company's executive bonus plan applicable to similarly situated executives of the Company. The amount of your annual bonus will be based on the attainment of performance criteria established and evaluated by the Company in accordance with the terms of such bonus plan as in effect from time to time, provided that, subject to the terms of such bonus plan, your target (but not necessarily maximum) annual bonus shall be 60% of your base salary actually paid for such year.
5. STOCK OPTION AWARDS.
(a) Subject to approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Company agrees to grant to you, not later than the first regularly scheduled Board meeting of each calendar year during the Term, a stock option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock (each, a "Stock Option"). Each Stock Option shall be granted to you as an "incentive stock option" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, as determined in accordance with the Company's incentive award plan under which such Stock Option is granted. Subject to your continued employment with the Company, each Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable over a four (4) year period, with 1/48th of the shares subject thereto vesting in equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. Consistent with the foregoing, the terms and conditions of each Stock Option shall be set
forth in a stock option agreement to be entered into by the Company and you which shall evidence the grant of each Stock Option (the "Stock Option Agreement").
(b) In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Exhibit A hereto), each of your then outstanding stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (including, without limitation, the Stock Options) will become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control.
6. BENEFITS AND VACATION. During the Term, you will be eligible to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs maintained or sponsored by the Company from time to time which are applicable to other similarly situated executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. During the Term, you will also be eligible for standard benefits, such as medical, vision and dental insurance, sick leave, vacations and holidays to the extent applicable generally to other similarly situated executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Company plans or policies. The benefits described in this Section 6 will be subject to change from time to time as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Company.
7. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
(a) In the event of a termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason (each as defined below), then, in addition to any other accrued amounts payable to you through the date of termination of your employment (including any earned but unpaid bonus), (1) the Company will no later than the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of your termination of employment, or the last day of such shorter period upon such termination of employment that is sufficient to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code, pay you a lump-sum severance payment (the "Severance Payment") in an amount equal to the sum of (x) twelve (12) months of your annual base salary as in effect on the date of termination plus (y) a pro rata portion of your target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which such termination occurs, calculated based on the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year through the date of termination plus (z) 100% of your target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which such termination occurs, (2) each of your then outstanding stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock will, immediately prior to the effective time of the termination of your employment, become vested and exercisable with respect to that number of additional shares that would have become vested during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of such termination had you remained employed by the Company through such period, and (3) provided that you properly elect COBRA continuation coverage, the Company will pay the COBRA premium for health care coverage for you and your spouse and children, as applicable and to the extent eligible (the "Severance Benefits"), for the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of such termination of your employment. Such payments for the Severance Benefits will begin no later than the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of your termination of employment, or the last day of such shorter period upon such termination of employment that is sufficient to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code (the "Deferred COBRA Payment Date"), and on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date, the Company will pay you an amount equal to the Severance Benefits for the period beginning on the date of your termination of employment and ending on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date.
(b) If a Change in Control occurs during the Term and your employment with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, in each case within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the effective date of the Change in Control or (ii) by you for any reason on or within the 30 day period immediately following the effective date
2
of the Change in Control, then, in lieu of the Severance Payment and Severance Benefits described in paragraph (a) of this Section 7 and in addition to any other accrued amounts payable to you through the date of termination of your employment (including any earned but unpaid bonus), (1) the Company will no later than the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of your termination of employment, or the last day of such shorter period upon such termination of employment that is sufficient to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code, pay you a lump-sum Severance Payment in an amount equal to the sum of (x) eighteen (18) months of your annual base salary as in effect on the date of termination plus (y) a pro rata portion of your target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which the termination occurs, calculated based on the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year through the date of termination plus (z) 150% of your target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which such termination occurs, and (2) provided that you properly elect COBRA continuation coverage, the Company will pay the Severance Benefits for the eighteen (18) month period immediately following such termination of your employment. Such payments for the Severance Benefits will begin on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date, and on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date, the Company will pay you an amount equal to the Severance Benefits for the period beginning on the date of your termination of employment and ending on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, your right to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 7 is conditioned on and subject to your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates, in a form prescribed by the Company. In no event shall you or your estate or beneficiaries be entitled to any of the payments or benefits set forth in this Section 7 upon any termination of your employment by reason of your total and permanent disability or your death.
(d) For purposes of this letter:
(A) "Cause" shall mean (i) your commission of a felony, (ii) your commission of a crime involving moral turpitude or your commission of any other act or omission involving dishonesty, disloyalty, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers, or (iii) your failure to perform the normal and customary duties of your position with the Company as reasonably directed by the Board, provided, that any of the acts or omissions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) are not cured to the Company's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to you; and
(B) "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without your prior written consent, unless the Company fully corrects the circumstances constituting Good Reason within 30 days after notice from you that Good Reason exists: (i) a material reduction of your duties and responsibilities hereunder; (ii) a relocation of your principal workplace more than 35 miles outside the Company's Sunnyvale corporate headquarters; or (iii) the Company's reduction of your annual base salary or bonus opportunity, each as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time; provided that written notice of your resignation for Good Reason must be delivered to the Company within 30 days after the date you first know or should reasonably know of the occurrence of any such event in order for your resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder.
8. CODE SECTION 280G.
(a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to you or for your benefit which is in the nature of compensation and is contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the
3
Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), whether paid or payable pursuant to this letter or otherwise (a "Payment"), would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by you shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by you if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Section 8(a), "net after-tax benefit" shall mean (i) the Payments which you receive or are then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the Payments calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the Payments shall be paid to you (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of Excise Taxes imposed with respect to the Payments.
(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 shall be made by such nationally recognized accounting firm as may be selected by the Audit Committee of the Board as constituted immediately prior to the change in control transaction (the "Accounting Firm"), provided, that the Accounting Firm's determination shall be made based upon "substantial authority" within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to you and the Company within 15 business days following the date of termination of your employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by you (provided that you reasonably believe that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) or the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.
9. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
(a) As a condition of your employment with the Company, you agree that during the Term and thereafter, you will not directly or indirectly disclose or appropriate to your own use, or the use of any third party, any trade secret or confidential information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the "Company Group") or their businesses, whether or not developed by you, except as it is required in connection with your services rendered for the Company. You further agree that, upon termination of your employment, you will not receive or remove from the files or offices of the Company Group any originals or copies of documents or other materials maintained in the ordinary course of business of the Company Group, and that you will return any such documents or materials otherwise in your possession. You further agree that, upon termination of your employment, you will maintain in strict confidence the projects in which any member of the Company Group is involved or contemplating.
(b) You further agree that during the Term and continuing through the first anniversary of the date of termination of your employment, you will not directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or encourage any employee, consultant, agent, customer, vendor, or other parties doing business with any member of the Company Group to terminate their employment, agency, or other relationship with the Company Group or such member or to render services for or transfer their business from the Company Group or such member and you will not initiate discussion with any such person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or entity.
(c) While employed by the Company, you agree that you will not engage in any business activity in competition with any member of the Company Group nor make preparations to do so.
4
(d) Upon the termination of your relationship with the Company, you agree that you will promptly return to the Company, and will not take with you or use, all items of any nature that belong to the Company, and all materials (in any form, format, or medium) containing or relating to the Company's business.
(e) In recognition of the facts that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event of a breach by you of your obligations under Sections 9(a), (b), (c) or (d) above, that monetary damages for such breach would not be readily calculable, and that the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law therefor, you acknowledge, consent and agree that in the event of such breach, or the threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to specific performance thereof and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the violation or threatened violation of such obligations by you.
10. COMPANY RULES AND REGULATIONS. As an employee of the Company, you agree to abide by Company policies, procedures, rules and regulations as set forth in the Company's Employee Handbook or as otherwise promulgated. In addition, as a condition of your employment, you acknowledge that you and the Company have entered into that certain Employee Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement dated as of March 11, 2002, and you hereby agree to abide by the terms of that certain Employee Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement dated as of March 11, 2002, by and between you and the Company.
11. DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' INSURANCE. During the Term, the Company shall provide you with coverage under the Company's directors' and officers' insurance policy, as in effect from time to time for senior executives of the Company.
12. WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this letter such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
13. ARBITRATION. Except as set forth in Section 9(e) above, any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this letter or the interpretation of this letter or any arrangements relating to this letter or contemplated in this letter or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS/Endispute in Santa Clara County, California in accordance with the then existing JAMS/Endispute Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes. Except as provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state of California, or federal law, or both, as applicable, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall pay his or its own attorneys' fees and expenses associated with such arbitration to the extent permitted by applicable law.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. As of the Effective Date, this letter, together with the Stock Option Agreement, constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes any and all other agreements, offers or promises, whether oral or written, made to you by any member of the Company Group (including, without limitation, the Original Employment Letter).
15. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this letter will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this letter is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such

In addition, you will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 40% of your earned Base Salary under Accuray's executive bonus plan, subject to applicable withholdings, based upon certain performance goals set for you and based on company achievements. You will also receive an additional one-time bonus of $20,000 payable after 6 months of full employment by Accuray. In addition, you will be entitled to participate in all of the benefit programs that Accuray makes available to its employees.
As an added incentive, we will recommend to the Board of Directors and subject to their approval that you receive an Option to purchase 250,000 shares of Accuray common stock priced at the fair market value on the date of the grant ("Option") as determined by the Board. Your option will vest over a period of four years as follows: 25% on the anniversary of your Start Date, the remainder to vest in equal monthly parts (1/48th) thereafter. The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Agreement, which you will be required to sign as a condition precedent to receiving the Option.
We will recommend to the Board of Directors that you be an Officer of the company. This will be subject to Board approval.

If you join Accuray, your employment with the Company will be "at-will" and for no specified term. "At will" means that you are free to resign your position with the Company at any time, with or without cause or advance notice, as you deem appropriate.

As a condition of your employment, you will be required to sign the Company's Employee Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, and provide the company with documents establishing your identity and right to work in the United States. These documents must be provided to the Company within three days after your employment Start Date or you may be subject to termination in accordance with Federal Immigration laws.
In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of your employment relationship with the Company, or the termination or your employment with Company for any reason (including, but not limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination, or age, sex, race, national origin, disability or other discrimination or harassment), you and the Company agree that all such disputes shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in Santa Clara County, CA. You and the Company hereby waive your respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, this arbitration provision shall not apply to any claims for injunctive relief by you or the Company or any relief sought to enforce the provisions of the employee Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement or relating to the or arising out of the misuse or appropriation of the trade secrets or proprietary information.
To indicate your acceptance of this offer, please sign and date this letter on the spaces below and return it to us no later than July 26, 2004. A duplicate original is enclosed for your records. This agreement, the Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, the Stock Option Plan and the Stock Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the terms and conditions of your employment, and they supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the Company. The Stock Option Plan and the Stock Option Agreement will be forwarded to you upon execution of this Employment Agreement and the Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement. The provisions of this agreement regarding "at-will" employment and arbitration may only be modified by a written agreement signed by you and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
I am excited to have you as part of the Accuray team and look forward to your contributions to the success of Accuray.
Sincerely, | ||

In no event shall you or your estate or beneficiaries be entitled to any of the payments or benefits set forth in this Section 6 upon any termination of your employment by reason of your total and permanent disability or your death.
(d) For purposes of this letter:
(A) "Cause" shall mean (i) your commission of a felony, (ii) your commission of a crime involving moral turpitude or your commission of any other act or omission involving dishonesty, disloyalty, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers, or (iii) your failure to perform the normal and customary duties of your position with the Company as reasonably directed by the CEO, provided, that any of the acts or omissions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) are not cured to the Company's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to you; and

7. Code Section 280G.
(a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to you or for your benefit which is in the nature of compensation and is contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), whether paid or payable pursuant to this letter or otherwise (a "Payment"), would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by you shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by you if no such reduction was made.

You and the Company hereby acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of the Original Employment Letter, as of October 24, 2006, the Company granted you a stock option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Initial Stock Option") at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Initial Stock Option was granted to you under the Company's 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, and, subject to your continued employment with the Company, the Initial Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable over a four (4) year period, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject thereto vesting on September 5, 2007, and the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) vesting in equal monthly installments on the fifth day of each month thereafter. In addition, the Company will annually recommend to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") that the Company grant you a stock option no later than the September 30 following each of the first three anniversaries of your commencement of employment with the Company to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock (each, a "Subsequent Stock Option," and together with the Initial Stock
Option, the "Stock Options"). The exercise price per share of each Subsequent Stock Option shall be equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, as determined in accordance with the Company's incentive award plan under which such Subsequent Stock Option is granted. Subject to your continued employment with the Company, each Subsequent Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable over a four (4) year period, with 1/48th of the shares subject thereto vesting in equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. Consistent with the foregoing, the terms and conditions of each Stock Option shall be set forth in a stock option agreement (each, a "Stock Option Agreement") to be entered into by the Company and you which shall evidence the grant of each such Stock Option.
6. Benefits and Vacation. During the Term, you will be eligible to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs maintained or sponsored by the Company from time to time which are applicable to other similarly situated executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. During the Term, you will also be eligible for standard benefits, such as medical, vision and dental insurance, sick leave, vacations and holidays to the extent applicable generally to other similarly situated executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Company plans or policies. The benefits described in this Section 6 will be subject to change from time to time as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Company.
7. Termination of Employment.
(a) In the event of a termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason (each as defined below), then, in addition to any other accrued amounts payable to you through the date of termination of your employment (including any earned but unpaid bonus), (1) the Company will no later than the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of your termination of employment, or the last day of such shorter period upon such termination of employment that is sufficient to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code, pay you a lump-sum severance payment (the "Severance Payment") in an amount equal to the sum of (x) six (6) months of your annual base salary as in effect on the date of termination plus (y) a pro rata portion of your target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which such termination occurs, calculated based on the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year through the date of termination plus (z) 50% of your target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Company in which such termination occurs, and (2) provided that you properly elect COBRA continuation coverage, the Company will pay the COBRA premium for health care coverage for you and your spouse and children, as applicable and to the extent eligible (the "Severance Benefits"), for the six (6) month period immediately following the date of such termination of your employment. Such payments for the Severance Benefits will begin no later than the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of your termination of employment, or the last day of such shorter period upon such termination of employment that is sufficient to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code (the "Deferred COBRA Payment Date"), and on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date, the Company will pay you an amount equal to the Severance Benefits for the period beginning on the date of your termination of employment and ending on the Deferred COBRA Payment Date.
(b) If a Change in Control (as defined in Exhibit B hereto) occurs during the Term and your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, in each case within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the effective date of the Change in Control, then, in addition to the amounts payable to you pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 7, each of your then outstanding stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (including, without limitation, the Stock Options) shall become fully
2
vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the termination of your employment.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, your right to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 7 is conditioned on and subject to your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates, in a form prescribed by the Company. In no event shall you or your estate or beneficiaries be entitled to any of the payments or benefits set forth in this Section 7 upon any termination of your employment by reason of your total and permanent disability or your death.
(d) For purposes of this letter:
(A) "Cause" shall be deemed to exist upon a good faith finding by the Company of (i) your material failure to competently perform your assigned duties for the Company, (ii) your sustained poor performance of any material aspect of your duties or obligations hereunder, (iii) your dishonesty, gross negligence or other material misconduct, or (iv) your conviction of, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by you to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony; and
(B) "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without your prior written consent, unless the Company fully corrects the circumstances constituting Good Reason within 30 days after notice from you that Good Reason exists: (i) a material reduction of your duties and responsibilities hereunder; (ii) a relocation of your principal workplace more than 35 miles outside the Company's Sunnyvale corporate headquarters; or (iii) a 10% or greater reduction of your annual base salary, as in effect on the date hereof or as may be increased from time to time; provided that written notice of your resignation for Good Reason must be delivered to the Company within 30 days after the date you first know or should reasonably know of the occurrence of any such event in order for your resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder.
8. Code Section 280G.
(a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to you or for your benefit which is in the nature of compensation and is contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), whether paid or payable pursuant to this letter or otherwise (a "Payment"), would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by you shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by you if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Section 8(a), "net after-tax benefit" shall mean (i) the Payments which you receive or are then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the Payments calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the Payments shall be paid to you (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of Excise Taxes imposed with respect to the Payments.
(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 shall be made by such nationally recognized accounting firm as may be selected by the Audit Committee of the Board as constituted immediately prior to the change in control transaction (the "Accounting Firm"),
3
provided, that the Accounting Firm's determination shall be made based upon "substantial authority" within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to you and the Company within 15 business days following the date of termination of your employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by you (provided that you reasonably believe that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) or the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.
9. Restrictive Covenants.
(a) As a condition of your employment with the Company, you agree that during the Term and thereafter, you will not directly or indirectly disclose or appropriate to your own use, or the use of any third party, any trade secret or confidential information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the "Company Group") or their businesses, whether or not developed by you, except as it is required in connection with your services rendered for the Company.

(e) In recognition of the facts that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event of a breach by you of your obligations under Sections 9(a), (b), (c) or (d) above, that monetary damages for such breach would not be readily calculable, and that the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law therefor, you acknowledge, consent and agree that in the event of such breach, or the threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to specific performance thereof and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the violation or threatened violation of such obligations by you.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT
This Independent Contractor Agreement ("Agreement") is made effective as of April 1, 2006 by and between Accuray Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"), and John Adler, M.D. ("Contractor" and, together with the Company, the "Parties"). The Company desires to retain Contractor as an independent contractor to perform certain services for the Company and Contractor is willing to perform such services, on terms set forth more fully below. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Services.
During the term of this agreement, Contractor will provide services (the "Services") to the Company as described on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement. Contractor shall use his best efforts to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the Company and by the completion dates specified by the Company. Contractor shall not perform any Services for the Company other than as specifically authorized in Exhibit A.
2. Independent Contractor Status.
It is the Parties' intent that Contractor at all times, and with respect to all Services covered by this Agreement function as and remain an independent contractor, and not an employee or officer of the Company, and neither Party shall represent to third parties that Contractor is an employee or officer of the Company.
(a) Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes on amounts received from the Company for the Services. The Company will regularly report amounts paid to Contractor by filing Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue service, as required by law. No part of Contractor's fees will be subject to withholding by the Company for payment of any social security, federal, state or other employee payroll taxes. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any such taxes imposed on the Company by relevant taxing authorities.
(b) Contractor shall retain the right to perform services for others during the term of this Agreement.
(c) Contractor will determine the method, details, and means of performing the Services. The Company shall have no right to, and shall not control, the manner or determine the method of accomplishment of the Services, though it may define the Services to be performed. Such Services may be amended, from time-to-time, by the Parties by written agreement, signed by the Contractor and the Company.
1
(d) Contractor may, at Contractor's own expense, employ such assistants as the Contractor may deem necessary to perform the Services. The Company shall not control, direct or supervise the work of Contractor's assistants or employees in the performance of Services. The Contractor assumes full and sole responsibility for the quality of Services provided by the Contractor's assistants or employees, for the payment of all compensation and expenses of these assistants and employees, for state and federal income taxes and other applicable payroll taxes and withholding that may be required with respect to such assistants or employees, and for the provision of all benefits and insurance, including without limitation, Worker's Compensation Insurance, to such assistants or employees. Contractor shall furnish the Company with proof of Worker's Compensation Insurance coverage for all persons who provide Services pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) Contractor shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in the execution of Contractor's responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all travel (including airfare and lodging), entertainment and dining expenses. No fines, taxes, bonds or fees imposed against Contractor, or costs of Contractor doing business, shall be reimbursable by the Company.
(f) Contractor shall not be eligible to participate in any fringe benefit program or any benefit plan of the Company.
(g) Contractor will have no authority to enter into contracts that bind the Company or to create obligations on the part of the Company without the prior written authorization of the Company.
(h) Contractor shall receive no office or administrative support from Company.
3. Fees.
As consideration for the Services to be provided by Contractor, the Company will compensate Contractor as described in Exhibit B to this Agreement. Company will pay Contractor Contractor's annual compensation in quarterly installments of $34,250, such quarterly installments to be paid in advance of each quarter beginning on the date on which this Agreement is signed by both Parties and thereafter on the first business day of each quarter. Compensation for Contractor's Services shall be conditioned on the actual performance by Contractor of Services and the Company's receipt and approval of accurate and detailed quarterly invoices, including records of time spent and Services performed, from Contractor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Contractor shall submit such quarterly invoices for all Services performed by Contractor during the applicable quarter two (2) weeks prior to the end of such quarter (for example, for the first quarterly period of this Agreement, January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006, Contractor's first quarterly invoice will be due to Company no later than March 17, 2006). If for any quarter, Contractor has not provided the level of Services required to earn the full quarterly installment for such quarter, then the quarterly installment for Contractor for the following quarter will be reduced in an amount equal to the amount that Contractor was overcompensated for the preceding quarter. If at the end of the term of this Agreement, Contractor has never performed certain services, and Contractor's failure to perform such services has not been offset against any subsequent quarter's installment, then Contractor will reimburse Company the corresponding amount for the services not performed within thirty (30) calendar days. The Parties acknowledge that payment for the Services provided hereunder is consistent with the fair market value of such Services and is not conditioned in any way on the volume or value of any business (i) between the Company and any other party, or (ii) resulting, directly or indirectly, from any of Contractor's activities hereunder.
4. Confidentiality.
(a) Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, product specifications, services, customers, customer lists, pipeline documents, marketing plans and strategies, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings,
2
engineering, hardware configuration information, circuit board designs, logic designs for filters and/or circuit boards, Company financials or other business information disclosed by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally, or by drawings or inspection of parts or equipment. Confidential Information also includes any other information designated by the Company as such upon its disclosure to the Contractor.
(b) Disclosure Contractor will not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, use the Company's Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of the Services on behalf of the Company. Contractor will not disclose the Company's Confidential Information to any third party, and understands that said Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the Company. Contractor further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information including, but not limited to, having each employee of Contractor, if any, with access to any Confidential Information, execute a nondisclosure agreement containing provisions in the Company's favor substantially similar to Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information which, upon disclosure to Contractor is part of the public domain; can be established by written evidence to have been in the possession of Contractor at the time of disclosure; is received by Contractor from a third party without restriction and without breach of this Agreement; or has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Contractor. If Contractor is required to disclose Confidential Information by lawfully issued subpoena or by an authorized order of a government agency, Contractor will immediately so inform the Company, and will use best efforts to minimize the disclosure of such Confidential Information and will consult with and assist the Company in seeking a protective order prior to such disclosure.
(c) Indemnity. Contractor agrees that Contractor will not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose to the Company or any of its employees any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with which Contractor has an agreement, or to which Contractor has a duty, to keep in confidence information acquired by Contractor, and that Contractor will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade secret belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity. Contractor will indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any violation or claimed violation of a third party's rights resulting in whole or in part from the Services provided by Contractor under this Agreement.
(d) Third Parties. Contractor recognizes that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Contractor agrees that Contractor owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company's agreement with such third party.
(e) Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon the Company's earlier request, Contractor will deliver to the Company all of the Company's property and all Confidential Information in tangible form that Contractor may have in Contractor's possession or control.
5. Ownership.
(a) Inventions. Contractor agrees that all copyrightable material, notes, records, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets (collectively,
3
"Inventions") conceived, made or discovered by Contractor, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of this Agreement which relate in any manner to the business of the Company that Contractor may be directed to undertake, investigate or experiment with, or which Contractor may become associated with as a result of work, investigation or experimentation in the line of business of Company in performing the Services hereunder, are the sole property of the Company. Contractor further agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby assign fully to the Company all such Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto.
(b) Assistance. Contractor agrees to assist Company, or its designee, at the Company's expense, in every proper way to secure the Company's rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Contractor further agrees that Contractor's obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Contractor's power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement.
(c) License. Contractor agrees that if in the course of performing the Services, Contractor incorporates into any Invention developed hereunder any invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery or other proprietary information owned by Contractor or in which Contractor has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such item as part of or in connection with such Invention.
(d) Agent. Contractor agrees that if the Company is unable because of Contractor's unavailability for any reason to secure Contractor's signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company above, then Contractor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Contractor's agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in Contractor's behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Contractor.
6. Originality and Noninfringement.
Contractor represents and warrants that all materials and Services provided hereunder will be original with Contractor and that the use thereof by the Company or its customers, representatives, distributors or dealers will not infringe any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, demands or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Company or its customers, representatives, distributors or dealers arising out of any infringement or claim of infringement with respect to any materials or Services provided by Contractor.
7. Reports.
Contractor agrees that Contractor will, from time-to-time during the term of this Agreement, keep the Company informed as to Contractor's progress in performing the Services hereunder and that Contractor will, as requested by the Company, prepare written reports with respect thereto. The Parties understand that the time required in the preparation of such written reports shall be considered time devoted to the performance of Contractor's Services.
4
8. Conflicting Obligations.
(a) Performance. Contractor acknowledges that Contractor will be available to perform the Services in a timely and responsible manner, except for the occasional circumstance in which a pre-existing clinical responsibility on the part of Contractor may conflict with a new commitment requested by the Company, subject to the requirements of the schedule of Services arranged by Company and Contractor pursuant to Section 1 of Exhibit A hereto. Failure to perform in a timely and responsible manner shall be a breach of this Agreement.
(b) No Conflicts. Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any provision of this Agreement, or that would preclude Contractor from complying with the provisions hereof, except as disclosed in Exhibit C hereto. Contractor further represents and warrants that Contractor will not enter into any such conflicting Agreement during the term of this Agreement.
9. Term and Termination.
(a) Commencement. This Agreement will commence on the date first above written and will continue for a period of one year (the "Initial Term"). Unless 30 days' written notice of termination is given by either Party prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or any subsequent Term, this Agreement shall renew for successive one-year periods.
(b) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(i) Either Party may terminate this Agreement with 30 days' prior written notice to the other.

For purposes of this Section 9(b)(ii), the term "Governmental Action" shall mean any legislation, regulation, rule or procedure passed, adopted or implemented by any federal, state or local government or legislative body or any private agency, or any notice of a decision, finding, interpretation or action by any governmental or private agency, court or other third party which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, because of the arrangement between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, if or when implemented, would: (A) constitute a violation of any federal, state or local law; or (B) subject either Party, or any of their respective employees or agents, to civil or criminal liability or prosecution on the basis of their participation in executing this Agreement or performing their respective obligations under this Agreement.
(iii) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason within one-year of the date first above written, the Parties shall not enter into the same or substantially the same arrangement contemplated by this Agreement during the period which is one-year following the date first above written.
(c) Survival. Upon such termination, all rights and duties of the Parties toward each other shall cease except:
(i) that the Company shall be obliged to pay, within 30 days of receipt of the Contractor's invoice, all amounts owing to Contractor for unpaid Services through the termination date; and
5
(ii) Sections 4, 5, 6, 9 and 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
10. Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder or interest herein may be assigned or transferred by the Company or the Contractor without the written consent of the other.
11. Arbitration and Equitable Relief.
(a) Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 11(b) below, the Company and Contractor agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration to be held in Santa Clara County, California before a single, neutral arbitrator associated with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service ("JAMS"). The arbitrator shall be selected by the Parties or, if the Parties are unable to agree, by JAMS, in accordance with its selection practices. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise required to preserve the enforceability of this arbitration clause, the Company and Contractor shall each pay one-half of the costs and expenses of such arbitration.
(b) Equitable Relief. Contractor agrees that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Company's damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4 or 5 herein. Accordingly, Contractor agrees that if Contractor breaches Sections 4 or 5, the Company will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach and specific performance of any such provision. Contractor further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Contractor hereby consents to the issuances of such injunction and to the ordering of such specific performance.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the written consent of the Parties.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes and replaces all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(c) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier or overnight delivery service, or three days after being deposited in the regular United States mail as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid, if such notice is addressed to the party to be notified at such party's address or facsimile number as set forth below, or as subsequently modified by written notice.
(d) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws.
(e) Legal Fees. If any dispute arises between the Parties with respect to matters covered by this Agreement which leads to a proceeding, pursuant to Section 11, to resolve such dispute, the prevailing party in any such proceeding shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
6
(f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to be enforceable (or if not subject to modification then eliminated herefrom) for the purpose of those procedures to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(h) Advice of Counsel. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH PARTY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.
(i) Compliance with Laws The Parties agree to abide by the Company's compliance policies and all federal, state or local laws, regulations, ordinances or other legal requirements in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. In addition, at all times during this Agreement, Contractor shall have in effect all licenses, permits and authorizations for all local, state, federal and foreign governmental agencies to the extent the same are necessary to the performance of the Services hereunder and will verify all such licenses, permits and authorizations are in place before performing any Services under this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.15
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT
This Independent Contractor Agreement ("Agreement") is made effective as of April 1, 2006 by and between the CyberKnife Society, a California non-profit organization (the "Society"), and John Adler, M.D. ("Contractor" and, together with the Society, the "Parties"). The Society desires to retain Contractor as an independent contractor to perform certain services for the Society and Contractor is willing to perform such services, on terms set forth more fully below. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Services.
During the term of this agreement, Contractor will serve as President and, when applicable, President Emeritus of the Board of the Society, and will provide services (the "Services") to the Society as described on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement. Contractor shall use his best efforts to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the Society and by the completion dates specified by the Society. Contractor shall not perform any Services for the Society other than as specifically authorized in Exhibit A.
2. Independent Contractor Status.
It is the Parties' intent that Contractor at all times, and with respect to all Services covered by this Agreement function as and remain an independent contractor, and not an employee of the Society, and neither Party shall represent to third parties that Contractor is an employee of the Society.
(a) Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes on amounts received from the Society for the Services. The Society will regularly report amounts paid to Contractor by filing Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue service, as required by law. No part of Contractor's fees will be subject to withholding by the Society for payment of any social security, federal, state or other employee payroll taxes. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold the Society harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any such taxes imposed on the Society by relevant taxing authorities.
(b) Contractor shall retain the right to perform services for others during the term of this Agreement.
(c) Contractor will determine the method, details, and means of performing the Services. The Society shall have no right to, and shall not control, the manner or determine the method of accomplishment of the Services, though it may define the Services to be performed. Such Services may be amended, from time-to-time, by the Parties by written agreement, signed by the Contractor and the Society.
(d) Contractor may, at Contractor's own expense, employ such assistants as the Contractor may deem necessary to perform the Services. The Society shall not control, direct or supervise the work of Contractor's assistants or employees in the performance of Services. The Contractor assumes full and sole responsibility for the quality of Services provided by the Contractor's
1
assistants or employees, for the payment of all compensation and expenses of these assistants and employees, for state and federal income taxes and other applicable payroll taxes and withholding that may be required with respect to such assistants or employees, and for the provision of all benefits and insurance, including without limitation, Worker's Compensation Insurance, to such assistants or employees. Contractor shall furnish the Society with proof of Worker's Compensation Insurance coverage for all persons who provide Services pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) Contractor shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in the execution of Contractor's responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all travel (including airfare and lodging), entertainment and dining expenses. No fines, taxes, bonds or fees imposed against Contractor, or costs of Contractor doing business, shall be reimbursable by the Society.
(f) Contractor shall not be eligible to participate in any fringe benefit program or any benefit plan of the Society.
(g) Contractor shall have reasonable assistance from Society with respect to administrative support staff as needed in furtherance of his duties as President.
(h) Contractor shall have the use of an office and a conference room from Society as needed in furtherance of his duties as President.
3. Fees.
As consideration for the Services to be provided by Contractor, the Society will compensate Contractor as described in Exhibit B to this Agreement. Society will pay Contractor Contractor's annual compensation in quarterly installments of $19,000, such quarterly installments to be paid in advance of each quarter beginning on the date on which this Agreement is signed by both Parties and thereafter on the first business day of each quarter. Contractor shall submit quarterly invoices for all Services performed by Contractor during the applicable quarter two (2) weeks prior to the end of such quarter (for example, for the first quarterly period of this Agreement, January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006, Contractor's first quarterly invoice will be due to Society no later than March 17, 2006). If for any quarter, Contractor has not provided the level of Services required to earn the full quarterly installment for such quarter, then the quarterly installment for Contractor for the following quarter will be reduced in an amount equal to the amount that Contractor was overcompensated for the preceding quarter. If at the end of the term of this Agreement, Contractor has never performed certain services, and Contractor's failure to perform such services has not been offset against any subsequent quarter's installment, then Contractor will reimburse Society the corresponding amount for the services not performed within thirty (30) calendar days. The Parties acknowledge that payment for the Services provided hereunder is consistent with the fair market value of such Services.
4. Confidentiality.
(a) Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means Society proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, product specifications, services, customers, customer lists, pipeline documents, marketing plans and strategies, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, circuit board designs, logic designs for filters and/or circuit boards, Society financials or other business information disclosed by the Society either directly or indirectly in writing, orally, or by drawings or inspection of parts or equipment. Confidential Information also includes any other information designated by the Society as such upon its disclosure to the Contractor.
(b) Disclosure. Contractor will not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, use the Society's Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of
2
the Services on behalf of the Society. Contractor will not disclose the Society's Confidential Information to any third party, and understands that said Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the Society. Contractor further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information including, but not limited to, having each employee of Contractor, if any, with access to any Confidential Information, execute a nondisclosure agreement containing provisions in the Society's favor substantially similar to Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information which, upon disclosure to Contractor is part of the public domain; can be established by written evidence to have been in the possession of Contractor at the time of disclosure; is received by Contractor from a third party without restriction and without breach of this Agreement; or has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Contractor. If Contractor is required to disclose Confidential Information by lawfully issued subpoena or by an authorized order of a government agency, Contractor will immediately so inform the Society, and will use best efforts to minimize the disclosure of such Confidential Information and will consult with and assist the Society in seeking a protective order prior to such disclosure.
(c) Indemnity. Contractor agrees that Contractor will not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose to the Society or any of its employees any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with which Contractor has an agreement, or to which Contractor has a duty, to keep in confidence information acquired by Contractor, and that Contractor will not bring onto the premises of the Society any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade secret belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity. Contractor will indemnify the Society and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any violation or claimed violation of a third party's rights resulting in whole or in part from the Services provided by Contractor under this Agreement.
(d) Third Parties. Contractor recognizes that the Society has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets subject to a duty on the Society's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Contractor agrees that Contractor owes the Society and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Society consistent with the Society's agreement with such third party.
(e) Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon the Society's earlier request, Contractor will deliver to the Society all of the Society's property and all Confidential Information in tangible form that Contractor may have in Contractor's possession or control.
5. Ownership.
(a) Inventions. Contractor agrees that all copyrightable material, notes, records, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets (collectively, "Inventions") conceived, made or discovered by Contractor, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of this Agreement which relate in any manner to the business of the Society that Contractor may be directed to undertake, investigate or experiment with, or which Contractor may become associated with as a result of work, investigation or experimentation in the line of business of Society in performing the Services hereunder, are the sole property of the Society. Contractor further agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby assign fully to the Society all
3
such Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto.
(b) Assistance. Contractor agrees to assist Society, or its designee, at the Society's expense, in every proper way to secure the Society's rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Society of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Society shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Society, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Contractor further agrees that Contractor's obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Contractor's power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement.
(c) License. Contractor agrees that if in the course of performing the Services, Contractor incorporates into any Invention developed hereunder any invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery or other proprietary information owned by Contractor or in which Contractor has an interest, the Society is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such item as part of or in connection with such Invention.
(d) Agent. Contractor agrees that if the Society is unable because of Contractor's unavailability for any reason to secure Contractor's signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Society above, then Contractor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Society and its duly authorized officers and agents as Contractor's agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in Contractor's behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Contractor.
6. Originality and Noninfringement.
Contractor represents and warrants that all materials and Services provided hereunder will be original with Contractor and that the use thereof by the Society or its customers, representatives, distributors or dealers will not infringe any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold the Society harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, demands or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Society or its customers, representatives, distributors or dealers arising out of any infringement or claim of infringement with respect to any materials or Services provided by Contractor.
7. Reports.
Contractor agrees that Contractor will, from time-to-time during the term of this Agreement, keep the Society informed as to Contractor's progress in performing the Services hereunder and that Contractor will, as requested by the Society, prepare written reports with respect thereto. The Parties understand that the time required in the preparation of such written reports shall be considered time devoted to the performance of Contractor's Services.
8. Conflicting Obligations.
(a) Performance. Contractor acknowledges that Contractor will be available to perform the Services in a timely and responsible manner, except for occasional circumstances in which a
4
pre-existing clinical responsibility on the part of Contractor may conflict with a new commitment requested by the Society, subject to the requirements of the schedule of Services arranged by Society and Contractor pursuant to Section 1.3 of Exhibit A hereto. Failure to perform in a timely and responsible manner shall be a breach of this Agreement.
(b) No Conflicts. Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any provision of this Agreement, or that would preclude Contractor from complying with the provisions hereof, other than as disclosed on Exhibit C hereto. Contractor further represents and warrants that Contractor will not enter into any such conflicting Agreement during the term of this Agreement.
9. Term and Termination.
(a) Commencement. This Agreement will commence on the date first above written and will continue for a period of one year (the "Initial Term"). Unless 30 days' written notice of termination is given by either Party prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or any subsequent Term, this Agreement shall renew for successive one-year periods.

For purposes of this Section 9(b)(ii), the term "Governmental Action" shall mean any legislation, regulation, rule or procedure passed, adopted or implemented by any federal, state or local government or legislative body or any private agency, or any notice of a decision, finding, interpretation or action by any governmental or private agency, court or other third party which, in the opinion of counsel to the Society, because of the arrangement between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, if or when implemented, would: (A) constitute a violation of any federal, state or local law; or (B) subject either Party, or any of their respective employees or agents, to civil or criminal liability or prosecution on the basis of their participation in executing this Agreement or performing their respective obligations under this Agreement
(iii) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason within one-year of the date first above written, the Parties shall not enter into the same or substantially the same arrangement contemplated by this Agreement during the period which is one-year following the date first above written.

11. Arbitration and Equitable Relief.
(a) Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 11(b) below, the Society and Contractor agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration to be held in Santa Clara County, California before a single, neutral arbitrator associated with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service ("JAMS"). The arbitrator shall be selected by the Parties or, if the Parties are unable to agree, by JAMS, in accordance with its selection practices. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise required to preserve the enforceability of this arbitration clause, the Society and Contractor shall each pay one-half of the costs and expenses of such arbitration.
(b) Equitable Relief. Contractor agrees that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Society's damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4 or 5 herein. Accordingly, Contractor agrees that if Contractor breaches Sections 4 or 5, the Society will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach and specific performance of any such provision. Contractor further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Contractor hereby consents to the issuances of such injunction and to the ordering of such specific performance.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the written consent of the Parties.

(d) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws.
(e) Legal Fees.

6
(f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to be enforceable (or if not subject to modification then eliminated herefrom) for the purpose of those procedures to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(h) Advice of Counsel. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH PARTY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Yuri Batygin and Anatoliy Zapreiev, jointly called
("Supplier")
BEAMPATH AND INTERFACE PROGRAM LICENSE AGREEMENT
with AMERICAN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, INC.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING THIS PACKAGE. OPENING THE PACKAGE OR USING THE ENCLOSED COPY OF THE PROGRAM INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND CREATES A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SUPPLIER, EVEN WITHOUT YOUR SIGNATURE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNOPENED PACKAGE AND ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS WITH PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THE PARTY FROM WHOM THEY WERE ACQUIRED AND YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED.
Supplier retains the ownership of this copy of the software, which is licensed to you for use, under the following conditions.
1. License. Supplier hereby grants to you, and you hereby accept, a non-exclusive License to:
(a) use the enclosed magnetic media of a program BEAMPATH and its user interface ("Media"), any copies you make of them, the computer software programs recorded on them (the "Programs"), and the related documentation (the "Documentation"), (i) only with respect to the computer device for which it was designed and any compatible computer device (the "CPU"), provided you have the original Media and Documentation and you use the Program on only one CPU and by one user at a time, and (ii) only to provide data processing for yourself, not to provide data processing for others; and
(b) make two (2) copies or counterparts of the Media and Documentation (the "Materials") for use under this Agreement, including, for example, to replace Materials that are wearing, to provide copies for emergency back-up, or to create modifications, so long as appropriate notices used by Supplier are included.
YOU MAY NOT USE, COPY, OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROGRAMS, MEDIA OR DOCUMENTATION OR ANY COPY THEREOF EXCEPT AS AUTHORIZED BY THIS LICENSE. IF YOU DO SO, THIS LICENSE IS AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED.
2. Term. The License is effective from the date of your receipt of the Media and Documentation until terminated. You may terminate the License by returning to Supplier all Materials, erasing or destroying all copies or counterparts made by you, and removing the coding from your CPU. The License shall terminate automatically if you commit a breach of any material provision of this Agreement.
3. Your Responsibilities.
(a) Installation, Taxes and UseYou exclusively are responsible for installing or introducing the Programs into the CPU; for paying all taxes, however designated, arising from or based in this Agreement, the License, the Materials or their use, or any fees paid to Supplier (including personal property taxes, but not any income or corporate excise tax assessed against Supplier), and for reimbursing Supplier if it pays such taxes; and for supervising, managing, and controlling your use of the Programs and Materials, including without limitation providing all reasonable control and review techniques and other measures for detecting promptly and minimizing the effects of any errors, failures, or interruptions that might occur.
3
(b) ConfidentialityYou acknowledge Supplier's claim that the Programs and Materials constitute and describe trade secrets and proprietary properties of Supplier, and you shall not transfer any Materials, or any copies or contents of such Materials, to any third person, nor decompile or reverse engineer any Program code, nor use the Materials in any manner except pursuant to the License.
(c) TerminationUpon termination of the license for any reason, you must return all Materials, erase or destroy all copies thereof, remove all coding from your CPU, and you request certify in writing that you have taken those steps.
4. Limited Warranty. Supplier warrants that the Media will be free from defects in materials or workmanship under normal use during the first ninety (90) days from the date of delivery to you, and that it transfers good title to the Media and Documentation to you. No dealer, distributor, agent, or employee of Supplier is authorized to modify or add to this exclusive warranty.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES ABOVE, THE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OR OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU ACCEPT THE ENTIRE RISK THAT THE PROGRAMS WILL NOT MEET YOUR NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS AND THAT THEIR OPERATION WILL NOT BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
5. Limitation of Remedies. Supplier's entire liability and your exclusive remedy (except as provided below for "Infringement") is limited to either:
(a) replacement of any Media that does not satisfy Supplier's "Limited Warranty" and is returned to Supplier within the ninety (90) day time limit, with proof of the date of receipt, or
(b) if Supplier is unable to deliver replacement Media that is free from defects in materials and workmanship, your termination of the License by returning all Materials and other items you received in salable condition, and taking the other steps specified in the paragraph above entitled "Term," in which case your money will be refunded.
BECAUSE SOFTWARE IS INHERENTLY COMPLEX AND MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY FREE OF ERRORS, YOU ARE ADVISED TO VERIFY YOUR WORK. IN NO EVENT WILL SUPPLIER BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY MONEY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, COSTS OF RECOVERING DATA, COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE, CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE MEDIA, DOCUMENTATION, OR PROGRAMS, EVEN IF SUPPLIER WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
6. Infringement. Supplier shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against you so far as it is based on a claim that the practicing of the Program or the use or copying of any Material, as such and not in combination with any other article or process, constitutes an infringement of any patent or copyright in the United States, if notified within ten (10) calendar days after commencement and given full and complete authority and assistance (at Supplier's expense) for the defense. Supplier shall pay all damages and costs awarded therein against you that do not exceed the fees received by Supplier hereunder, except that Supplier will not be responsible for any compromise made without its consent. If such an infringement claim is made or threatened, at its option Supplier shall either procure for you the right to continue using the Material or practicing the Program, modify it so it becomes non-infringing, replace it with a non-infringing counterpart, or accept the return of the Material, terminate the License, and refund a reasonable portion of the fees paid. THIS PARAGRAPH STATES
4
SUPPLIER'S ENTIRE OBLIGATION TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.
7. Supplier's Remedies. In addition to the termination rights set forth under "Term" above:
(a) Since unauthorized transfer of the Materials or information in them will substantially diminish the value to Supplier of the trade secrets and proprietary properties involved, if you commit a breach of any obligation related to confidentiality, nondisclosure, or return of Materials, or if such a breach is likely to occur, Supplier shall be entitled to equitable relief (including orders for specific performance and injunctions) as well as money damages.
(b) The rights and remedies of Supplier set forth are not exclusive and are in addition to any of the rights and remedies provided by statute, at law, or in equity.
8. Export Provisions. You acknowledge that any export of the Programs, Media and Documentation may be subject to U.S. export control laws. You agree that you will not export or reexport these items, directly or indirectly, except in accordance with such laws.
9. General.
(a) You may not sublicense, assign, or transfer this License or the Materials to any other person, except as expressly permitted by Supplier in writing. Any attempt to do so otherwise is void. The supplier grants rights to AS&E to sublicense this software to Accuray as a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement of certain assets of AS&E High Energy Systems Division.
(b) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of the United States of America. If any part of this Agreement violates applicable law, that part of the Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to comply with such law; the validity of the remaining terms shall not be affected. The failure of either party to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or any other.

2. License Grant.
(a) Manufacturing License. The Company grants to Licensee a perpetual, exclusive, worldwide license, subject to the right to exercise such rights set forth in paragraph 3 ("Exercise Preconditions") to use the Licensed Rights and Licensed Know-How (including any Improvements thereto developed by the Company prior to the Exercise Date) to manufacture (or have manufactured pursuant to paragraph 8 ("Subcontracting") hereof) Licensed Products for Medical Applications and an exclusive worldwide license to use, sell or otherwise distribute, make Improvements to, and repair such Licensed Products; provided, however, that the Company retains the right to manufacture the Licensed Products for sale to Licensee pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and all rights to the Licensed Product for applications other than Medical Applications.
(b) Documentation. The Company grants to Licensee a perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, translate and distribute the Documentation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3. Exercise Preconditions. Licensee may only exercise its rights under paragraph 2 ("License Grant") under any of the following circumstances:
(a) Insolvency, Bankruptcy. The insolvency of the Company or the commencement by or against the Company of any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or any other law or laws for the relief of debtors which case or proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after a petition is first filed against the Company.
(b) Inadequate Supply. The Company at any time becomes unwilling or unable to supply products under that certain OEM Purchase Agreement dated January 28, 1991 between the Company and Licensee (the "Purchase Agreement") in a sufficient quantity to meet Accuray's requirements. The parties agree that the Company's failure to meet Accuray's delivery requirements within 45 business days after the delivery date scheduled pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of the Company's inability to meet Licensee's requirements.
(c) Acquisition of Company. The Company is acquired through a merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a purchase of more than fifty percent of its outstanding capital stock by a person or persons not affiliated with the Company as of the date of this Agreement.
(d) Breach of Purchase Agreement. The Company is in material breach under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Six (6) Months Notice. Six (6) months after Licensee delivers written notice to the Company that it intends to exercise its right to manufacture (or have manufactured) the Licensed Product; provided, that in such event the Licensee shall purchase from the Company at its cost all
2
of the Company's remaining inventory related to the manufacture of the Licensed Products which is not useable by the Company in the manufacture of the Company's products for sale to customers other than the Licensee.
4. Improvements.
(a) Company Improvements. Subject to Licensee's rights under paragraph 2 ("License Grant"), the Company shall own the entire right, title and interest to all Improvements developed by it. However, the Company shall, during the term hereof, promptly disclose such Improvements to Licensee and upon the request of Licensee, shall enter into good faith negotiations with Licensee for a license to such Improvements which are developed after the Exercise Date.
(b) Licensee Improvements. Licensee shall own the entire right, title and interest to Improvements developed by it. However, Licensee shall, during the term hereof, promptly disclose such Improvements to the Company and, upon the request of the Company, shall enter into good faith negotiations for a license to such Improvements.
5. Royalties.
(a) Amount of Payment. Licensee shall pay to the Company a royalty of $[*] for each Licensed Product manufactured by Licensee, or by a third party on Licensee's behalf, which is sold or otherwise distributed (a "Royalty Bearing Product") until such time as the Maximum Royalty Amount (as defined below) has been paid to the Company under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Maximum Royalty Amount shall be reduced by the full amount of any research and development costs which are paid for by Licensee under the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with the delivery of the Initial Units (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Maximum Royalty Amount shall be calculated as follows: (i) if the Exercise Date occurs on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, the Maximum Royalty Amount shall be $[*] and (ii) if the Exercise Date occurs after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, the Maximum Royalty Amount shall be $[*], $[*] of which shall be paid by the Licensee in a lump sum payment upon delivery by the Company of the Documentation. Upon payment in full for the royalties accrued during such period, the licenses granted under this Agreement shall become fully-paid and royalty-free.
(b) Payment Terms. Royalties shall be paid within twenty (20) business days after the end of each quarter during which Licensee ships a Royalty Bearing Product to any user. Concurrently with the royalty payment, Licensee shall submit to the Company a written report for the preceding calendar quarter setting forth the total number of Royalty Bearing Products shipped during the quarter, and a calculation of the total royalties owed to the Company for such quarter.
(c) Records. Licensee shall keep accurate records of the Royalty Bearing Products for a minimum of three (3) years from shipment in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable to the Company to be determined accurately. To enable the Company from time to time to determine the accuracy of such records, Licensee shall permit an independent certified public accountant, acceptable to both parties, to inspect its pertinent records following reasonable notice and during reasonable business hours, not more frequently than annually. To protect Licensee's confidential business information, the report of such accountant to the Company shall be confined solely to statements regarding the accuracy of royalty payments made to the Company by Licensee. Except as specified below, such inspections shall be at the expense of the Company. If such inspection discloses an underpayment of more than 5%, Licensee shall reimburse the Company for the cost of such inspection and shall promptly pay the Company all previously unpaid amounts plus interest
3
thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest interest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. The Company's inspection rights pursuant to this paragraph shall terminate two (2) years after the licenses granted under this Agreement become fully-paid and royalty-free.
(d) Taxes. Licensee further agrees to pay any sales, use, excise, value added, or similar tax not based on the Company's income which the Company may incur to any state in respect of this Agreement if the Company submits an invoice to Licensee on a timely basis reflecting the amount of any such tax. If a resale certificate or other certificates or document of exemption is required in order to exempt any transaction under this Agreement from sales or use tax liability, Licensee will promptly furnish such certificate or document to the Company.
6. Duties of Company.
(a) Delivery of Documentation. The Company agrees to furnish to Licensee all current versions of Documentation then existing within ten (10) business days after the Exercise Date; provided, however, that if the Licensee exercises its rights under subparagraph 3(e) ("Six Months Notice") above, the Company will furnish the Documentation to Licensee at least sixty (60) days prior to the Exercise Date. If Documentation is provided to Licensee prior to the Exercise Date, the Company shall be required to provide any updates or modifications to such Documentation which are made prior to the Exercise Date within ten (10) business days after the Exercise Date.
(b) Training. The Company will furnish help to Licensee in the form of transfer of the Licensed Rights and instruction in the manufacture of the Licensed Products by providing free of charge, 500 person-hours of a qualified person's time for engineering know-how, manufacturing know-how, and service know-how, at times reasonably requested by Licensee during the first eighteen (18) months after the Exercise Date. In addition, during the first two (2) years after the Exercise Date, Licensee shall have the right to purchase from the Company additional consultation services at the Company's standard engineering, manufacturing or service consultant rate in effect at the time of the request. At Licensee's request, the Company will provide this training at Licensee's premises, provided that Licensee will pay all reasonable transportation and living expenses for training at any facility which is more than fifty (50) miles from the Company's principal place of business.
(c) Visitation Rights. Upon reasonable advance notice during the first two (2) years after the Exercise Date and provided that Licensee's manufacturing license under paragraph 2 ("License Grant") remains in effect, the Company shall allow Licensee's personnel to visit the Company's place of business and discuss and inspect the Company's method of manufacturing the Licensed Product and related matters concerning the technology transferred to Licensee hereunder.
7. Rights Under Government Grants.
(a) Subcontract of Research and Development. The Company has submitted a proposal entitled "Computer Mediated Stereotaxic Radiosurgery" to the Department of Health and Human Services for a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research Grant (the "SBIR Grant"). In addition, the Company is a Private Sector Participant along with Stanford University in a project entitled "Computer Mediated Stereotaxic Radiosurgery" which is being funded by a California Competitive Technology Grant (the "CCT Grant"). If the Company is awarded the SBIR Grant, it will subcontract to Licensee the maximum amount which it is entitled for research and development to be conducted under the SBIR Grant. In addition, the Company will use Licensee's employees as consultants wherever possible and appropriate. The Company also agrees to consult with Licensee in the selection of equipment to be purchased with funds from the SBIR Grant and will transfer to Licensee, upon completion of the research and development, all computer equipment and related equipment purchased with the SBIR Grant, subject to the rights of the U.S. Government to such equipment under the SBIR Grant.
4
(b) Inclusion in Licensed Rights. Any patent applications, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights which result from the research and development under the SBIR Grant and/or the CCT Grant and which directly relate to the manufacture of the Licensed Products shall be included in the definition of Licensed Rights.
(c) Technology Transfer. The Company will transfer and assign to Licensee all right, title and interest which it acquires at any time in any patents, patent applications, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property which results from the research and development conducted utilizing the SBIR Grant and/or the CCT Grant and is not directly related to the manufacture of the Licensed Products or other linear accelerator devices.
8. Subcontracting. Licensee shall have the right to contract with a third party to manufacture all or any part of the Licensed Product for Licensee's exclusive benefit so long as such subcontractor agrees to the same obligations and limitations as are imposed upon Licensee in the manufacture of the Licensed Product under this Agreement, including the Company's termination rights set forth in paragraph 13 ("Termination") hereof; provided, however, that if Licensee has exercised its rights under Paragraph 2 ("License Grant") pursuant to Paragraph 3(c) ("Acquisition of Company") or Paragraph 3(e) ("Six (6) Months Notice"), Licensee shall not be entitled, without the prior written consent of the Company, to use any subcontractor to manufacture the Licensed Products which manufactures X-Band linear accelerators for the industrial market. Licensee agrees that a breach by its subcontractor of the obligations and limitations of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach by Licensee under this Agreement.
9. Indemnification.
(a) Infringement of Proprietary Rights. In the event that a third party makes any claim, which the Licensee reasonably believes to be valid, that (i) the manufacture, reproduction, use, sale or other distribution of the Licensed Product or any part or component thereof, and/or (ii) the use, reproduction or distribution of the Documentation infringes, violates or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of any third party, the Company will use its best efforts to modify the design of the Licensed Product at no cost to the Licensee so that is no longer infringing and continues to comply with the Specifications in all materials respects; provided, however, that this obligation will not cover any claim that the Licensed Product infringes any third party's rights as used in combination with any software or hardware not supplied by the Company, if that claim could have been avoided by the use of the Licensed Product alone or with other software or hardware. In the event that the Company is unable, after using its best efforts, to modify the design of the Licensed Product so that it is no longer infringing, Licensee shall be entitled to offset against any portion of the Maximum Royalty Amount which remained unpaid as of the date on which Licensee gives the Company notice of the third party claim, any royalties or lump sum payments made by Licensee to the party claiming that the Licensed Product infringes its intellectual property rights.
(b) Breach of Representations and Warranties. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Licensee and its affiliates harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense (collectively a "Loss") suffered by Licensee and/or its affiliates to the extent such Loss arises from a breach of the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 10 ("Representations and Warranties") of this Agreement.
10. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Authority. Each party represents and warrants that: (i) it has the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
5
laws of general application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and rules or laws concerning equitable remedies.
(b) No Conflicts. The Company represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate or conflict with or constitute a material default under any agreement, license or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. The Company further represents and warrants that it has not granted to any third party any rights or licenses to the Licensed Rights, or any portion thereof, for Medical Applications.
(c) Ownership. The Company represents and warrants that it is the owner and holder, or licensee, of the Licensed Rights, that it has the authority to grant a license thereto, and that it has no knowledge of any facts which might lead to a claim of infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any third party as a result of this Agreement or any acts contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Government Grants. The Company will use its best efforts to obtain the SBIR Grant and shall take all actions which are necessary and proper to limit, to the extent possible, the rights of any third party, including any governmental agency, in the technology developed pursuant to such grant.
(e) Adequate Documentation. The Company represents and warrants that the Documentation delivered in accordance with subparagraph 6(a) ("Delivery of Documentation") is in accordance with good commercial practice and is sufficient in detail to enable the Company to manufacture the Licensed Product as it exists on the Exercise Date.
11. The Company's Vendors. The Company has no contracts, agreements, understandings or arrangements of any kind with any of its vendors which prevent, or will prevent, Licensee from buying directly from any such vendor any standard commercial parts or assemblies necessary to assemble the Licensed Products. The Company will furnish its vendor list to Licensee within ten (10) business days following the Exercise Date; provided, however, that if the Licensee exercises its rights under paragraph 3(e) ("Six Months Notice") above, the Company shall provide such list to Licensee sixty (60) days prior to the Exercise Date.
12. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER LICENSEE NOR THE COMPANY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate its further obligations hereunder upon the occurrence of a material default by the Company under Section 6 ("Duties of the Company") or Section 10 ("Representations and Warranties") of this Agreement (subject to the Company's ability to cure or remedy such event as described in subparagraph 13(c) ("Cure Period") below).
(c) Cure Period. Upon the occurrence of any event entitling a party to terminate this Agreement and its further obligations under this Agreement, and if such party wishes to terminate its further obligations under the Agreement, the party shall send notice of termination, specifying the nature of the default, to the other party and shall permit at least thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to enable the other party to cure the problem. Failure to cure the problem shall result in termination without further notice by the notifying party, unless such notifying party extends the cure period by written notice.
(d) Licensee's Remedy Upon Termination. Upon Licensee's termination of this Agreement, Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy hereunder shall be the receipt of a perpetual right to manufacture, have manufactured (pursuant to Paragraph 8 ("Subcontracting")), make Improvements to repair, sell or otherwise distribute the Licensed Product, to use, reproduce, modify and distribute the Documentation and to use the Licensed Rights and Licensed Know-How without any additional payments to the Company, other than royalty payments owed to the Company for Licensed Products manufactured prior to termination, regardless of whether such Licensed Products have been shipped to a user prior to termination, which shall be paid within twenty (20) days after the end of the quarter in which the Licensed Products are shipped to a user.
(e) The Company's Remedy Upon Termination. Upon the Company's termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall immediately cease using the Licensed Rights and shall deliver a certificate to the Company by a duly authorized representative of Licensee stating that it no longer has any right to use the Licensed Rights of the Company or to manufacture or have manufactured the Licensed Product, and that the original and all copies of any information furnished by the Company hereunder have either been destroyed or returned to the Company; provided, however, that Licensee shall have the right to dispose of its inventory of the Licensed Product manufactured prior to the effective date of termination conditioned upon payment of the royalties set forth in Paragraph 5 ("Royalties") hereof. Licensee shall have the right to continue to lease Licensed Products which were being leased to customers at the time of termination.
(f) Rights of Third Parties. Any termination of this Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of prior recipients of the Licensed Products from continuing to use such products after such termination.
7
14. Termination of Exclusivity. If the Licensee has not sold or otherwise distributed a minimum of [*] ([*]) systems incorporating Royalty Bearing Products (whether manufactured pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or purchased pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement) ("Licensee Systems") prior to March 31, 1997, the manufacturing license granted in subparagraph 2(a) ("Manufacturing License") above shall become non-exclusive; provided, however, that in lieu of losing its exclusive rights under this Agreement, Licensee may, at its option, elect to make a cash payment to the Company in an amount equal to $[*] multiplied by the difference between [*] ([*]) and the number of Licensee Systems which Licensee has sold or otherwise distributed, which payment shall be credited in full against the Maximum Royalty Amount. Thereafter, the manufacturing license shall remain exclusive provided that in each successive twelve (12) month period, until the Maximum Royalty Amount is paid, Licensee sells or otherwise distributes at least [*] ([*]) Licensee Systems.
15. Arbitration.
(a) Procedure. Except as provided in subparagraph (b) ("Injunctive Relief") below, any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, will be settled by arbitration before one arbitrator in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration hearing will commence within ninety (90) days after appointment of the arbitrator. Unless the arbitrator finds that exceptional circumstances justify delay, the hearing will be completed and an award will be rendered in writing within ninety (90) days after commencement of the hearing. The arbitrator may include in the award the prevailing party's costs of arbitration and reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other professionals connected with the arbitration.
(b) Injunctive Relief. Either party shall have the right to seek and obtain preliminary and/or final injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for any dispute relating to the actual or threatened violation of its proprietary rights or any unauthorized use of the Licensed Rights.
16. Escrow of Documentation. The Company agrees to place in escrow (the "Escrow") with an independent third party escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Licensee (the "Escrow Agent") within ninety (90) days of the date on which the Licensee obtains financing in the amount of at least $[*], one copy of the Documentation as it exists on that date. After the Company has delivered the first Initial Unit (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Documentation in the Escrow shall be revised or replaced to reflect the as built design requirements of the technology to be provided to the Licensee. In addition, the Company agrees to update the Documentation contained in the Escrow to reflect any Improvements and other modifications to the Licensed Product once each calendar year until the Exercise Date. The agreement between the Company, the Licensee and the Escrow Agent shall provide for the release of the Documentation at the request of the Licensee at any time on or after the date on which the Company is required to deliver the Documentation in accordance with subparagraph 6(a) ("Delivery of Documentation") of this Agreement. All costs and expenses related to establishing and maintaining the Escrow shall be borne by the Licensee.
8
17. Patent Protection.
(a) Patent Enforcement. If the Company fails to bring and diligently prosecute suits for infringement of the Licensed Patents within sixty (60) days after a written request by Licensee to bring such action; Licensee shall have a right to bring a suit for infringement of the Licensed Patents in its own name and at its own expense if Licensee can reasonably demonstrate that such infringements have had or will have an adverse impact on the business being exploited by Licensee under the licenses granted herein. If an infringement suit is brought by Licensee under this paragraph, Licensee shall be entitled to retain all costs and damages awarded.
(b) Maintenance. The Company shall pay all maintenance fees required under any law or regulation to maintain the enforceability of the Licensed Patents during the term of this Agreement. If the Company decides not to pay any such maintenance fees, it shall provide Licensee with written notice of such intention within a sufficient period of time for Licensee, if it so elects, to pay such maintenance fees. Any fee paid by Licensee under this paragraph shall be offset against its royalty obligations under Section 5 ("Royalties").
(c) Notice of New Patents. The Company shall give Licensee prompt written notice of any patent applications filed and patents issued subsequent to the date hereof which fall within the scope of Licensed Patents.
18. Confidential Information.

AMENDMENT
Made and entered into this 15th day of April, 1996, by and between SCHONBERG RESEARCH CORPORATION, a California corporation, the name of which was previously Schonberg Radiation Corporation, having its principal place of business at 3300 Keller Street, Building #101, Santa Clara, California 95054 (sometimes called "SRC" or "Company"), and ACCURAY INCORPORATED, a California corporation which was the general partner in and is the successor to Accuray Associates, a California limited partnership, having its principal office at 570 Del Rey Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94087 (sometimes called "Accuray," "Buyer" or "Licensee").
The agreements between the parties which are amended hereby are:

Unforeseen difficulties have caused delays and performance problems for the parties.
While their expectations have changed in some respects, the parties nevertheless wish to maintain a business relationship between them as described in the Agreements, but to amend the Agreements to be consistent with their experience over the past five-plus years and with their changed expectations.
AGREEMENT

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties permitted successors and assigns.

CYBERKNIFE G4 PLACEMENT AGREEMENT
ACCURAY INCORPORATED[NAME OF INSTITUTION]
This CyberKnife® G4 Placement Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of , 2006 ("Effective Date") by and between Accuray Incorporated, a California corporation, with offices located at 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California 94089 ("Accuray") and , located at ("Institution").
RECITALS
Accuray is the developer and manufacturer of the CyberKnife 4th Generation Robotic Radiosurgery System more fully described in Schedule 1 ("CyberKnife G4" or "Equipment").
Accuray's mission is to enable full-body radiosurgery using image-guided robotics. We design, develop and sell the CyberKnife G4, an FDA-cleared image-guided robotic radiosurgery system used to provide treatment planning and image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery (or precision radiotherapy) for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. Radiosurgery combines the proven capability and non-invasive nature of radiation with the precision and effectiveness of conventional surgery, thereby making it possible to non-invasively destroy solid tumors. We believe that the integration of our proprietary image-guidance system with robotic delivery capability establishes the CyberKnife G4 as the next generation of radiosurgery systems.
Institution wishes to have the use of a CyberKnife G4 in order to have the capability to provide full-body stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy treatments for patients; and,
Institution and Accuray agree to enter into an agreement to share the cost of acquiring a CyberKnife G4, whereby Accuray is willing to provide the Equipment to Institution and Institution is willing to provide appropriate medical and surgical services utilizing the Equipment on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
This Agreement proposal shall expire if not signed and received by Accuray by , 2006.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Accuray Incorporated, a California corporation (the "Company"), enclosed herewith for filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), is a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") relating to the initial public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company has paid the registration fee of $24,610 by wire transfer to the account of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") at Mellon Bank as permitted by the Rules under the Securities Act.
In connection with the review of the Registration Statement by the staff of the SEC (the "Staff"), the Company respectfully brings to the Staff's attention that it previously consulted with the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC within the Division of Corporation Finance regarding the appropriate GAAP accounting for a transaction which included unspecified, but committed to, upgrade or enhancement elements in a multiple element sale transaction (the "Accounting Treatment"). Between April 5, 2005 and August 25, 2005, the Company and the Office of the Chief Accountant had various discussions regarding the Accounting Treatment. The Company also directs the Staff's attention to the written correspondence regarding the same between the Company and the Office of the Chief Accountant during this period.
