EXHIBIT 10.1

ACCURAY INCORPORATED

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2016 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance Shares, and other stock or cash awards as the Administrator may determine.

- 1 -

 

---

For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.

Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes

- 9 -

 

---

of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) a notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a

- 10 -

 

---

dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

- 11 -

 

---

- 12 -

 

---

- 13 -

 

---

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. If and until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to any Stock Appreciation Rights, notwithstanding the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Rights.

- 16 -

- 17 -

 

---

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (and for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the vesting limitations under Section 5(c)), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels, prorated based on the portion of the Performance Period that elapsed as of immediately prior to the applicable merger or Change in Control. All other terms and conditions with respect to such Awards with performance-based vesting will be deemed met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

For the purposes of this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control 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 Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, 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 Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such Performance Goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such Performance Goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION

If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an ISO under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) will not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event will the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective employees or directors have any liability to Participant (or any other person) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

Participant’s Responsibility; Company’s Obligation to Deliver Certificates. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the Tax-Related Items. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of this Option or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Tax Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by Participant’s acceptance of this Option, Participant authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of shares from those Shares issued to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items. By accepting this Option, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover Tax-Related Items and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express consent. In the event that such withholding by sale of Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, Participant authorizes the Company or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) delivery of already vested and owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (ii) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (iii) cash payment, (iv) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, or (v) such other means as the Administrator deems appropriate.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of

A-2

 

---

 

Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

EXHIBIT B

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL OPTIONS

This Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to Participant under the Plan. Further, this Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option if Participant resides in one of the countries listed below.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit B as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the notification information may be out of date at the time Participant exercises the Option or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notification information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Option is granted to Participant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b) the grant of this Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Option grants, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) this Option grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(e) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(f) this Option and the Shares subject to this Option is extraordinary items that are outside the scope of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any;

(h) this Option and the Shares subject to this Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, this Option will have no value;

(k) if Participant exercises this Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;

(l) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Option resulting from termination of Participant’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of any employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of this Option, Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer or any of the other Affiliates of the Company;

(m) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, this Option and the Shares subject to this Option, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate of the Company;

(n) in the event of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), Participant’s right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Option; and

(o) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

 

 

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address,

date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of the Option or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested, or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to a plan broker or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, the broker, and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States he or she may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Option or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the resale of such shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the NASDAQ Global Select Market)

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Foreign property, including Shares and Option, held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of Participant’s foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus the Option must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by the employee. When shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.

The precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether or not the relevant payment is made through a bank in Japan.

If payment or withholding of the Tax-Related Items is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the liability for income tax (the “Due Date”) occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant understands and agrees that if he or she is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax liability. In the event that Participant is a director or executive officer and income tax is not collected from or paid by Participant by the Due Date, Participant understands that the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Participant understands and agrees that he or she will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit which the Company or the Employer may recover from Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of PSUs, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 21(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each PSU represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the PSUs will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment of any such PSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested PSUs, such PSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any PSUs that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested PSUs shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any PSUs payable under this Award Agreement.

3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the PSUs awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that (i) if a Vesting Date falls on a day upon which the U.S. national securities markets are not open for trading, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day, and (ii) if a Vesting Date falls on December 31, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day such that the Vesting Date, any sale to cover taxes, and applicable tax reporting all occur in the same calendar year. PSUs scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested PSUs at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such PSUs will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the PSUs is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated PSUs will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated PSUs will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the PSUs will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the PSUs provided under this Award Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will

-5-

---

 

be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the PSUs that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately be forfeited and terminated.

6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (i) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

7. Withholding of Taxes.

(a) Participant’s Responsibility; Company’s Obligation to Deliver Certificates. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax‑related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the Tax-Related Items. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) Tax Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by Participant’s acceptance of the Award, Participant authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of shares from those Shares issued to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover Tax-Related Items and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express consent. In the event that such withholding by sale of Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, Participant authorizes the Company or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) delivery of already vested and owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (ii) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld,

-6-

---

 

(iii) cash payment, (iv) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, or (v) such other means as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8. Restrictions on Resale. Participant agrees not to sell any PSU Shares at a time when Applicable Laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as Participant’s status as a Service Provider continues and for such period of time after the termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider as the Company may specify.

9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

10. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE PERFORMANCE UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF PERFORMANCE UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

11. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of unvested PSUs awarded to Participant under this Award Agreement will be adjusted in accordance with the Plan.

12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Award Agreement will be addressed to the Company at Accuray Incorporated, 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California 94089, Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

13. Award is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. Participant may, however, dispose of this Award in Participant’s will or through a beneficiary designation.

14. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, this Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

15. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, qualification or rule compliance of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, the tax code and related regulations or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate) hereunder, such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, rule compliance, consent or approval will have been completed, effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority or securities exchange.

EXHIBIT B

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

 

This Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to Participant under the Plan. Further, this Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units if Participant resides in one of the countries listed below.

 

NOTIFICATIONS

 

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit B as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the notification information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

 

In addition, the notification information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.

 

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Restricted Stock Units are granted to Participant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

 

A. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(b) the grant of this Award of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

 

(c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

(d) the Restricted Stock Unit grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

 

(e) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

 

(f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that are outside the scope of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any;

 

-10-

(g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 

(h) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

 

(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

 

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of Participant’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of any employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of this Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer or any of the other Affiliates of the Company;

 

(k) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate of the Company;

 

(l) in the event of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award of Restricted Stock Units; and

 

(m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

 

 

 

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to a plan broker or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, the broker, and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States he or she may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

if the total cost of Participant’s foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus Restricted Stock Units must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by the employee. When shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.

ACCURAY INCORPORATED

AMENDED & RESTATED 2016 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT FOR FY17 MSU PROGRAM

 

Participant must notify the Company within one (1) month following the Date of Grant if he or she wishes to reject this Award. Otherwise, Participant will be deemed to have accepted the Award on the terms and conditions on which it is offered.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Accuray Incorporated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) will have the same defined meanings in this Performance Unit Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), which includes the Notice of Grant of Performance Unit Award (the “Notice of Grant”) and Terms and Conditions of Performance Unit Award, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

NOTICE OF GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD

Participant Name:

Address:

Participant has been granted the right to receive an Award of market-based Performance Units (“MSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, as follows:

Grant Number

Date of Grant

Target Award

Maximum Award (up to a maximum of 150% of the Target Award)

Vesting Schedule:

The Performance Periods for this Award shall be as follows: the “First Performance Period” shall be the period commencing on November 1, 2016 and ending on October 31, 2018, and the “Second Performance Period” shall be the period commencing on November 1, 2016 and ending on October 31, 2019.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the “Benchmark” shall mean the Russell 2000 Index. “Benchmark Performance” shall mean the total return of the Benchmark for the relevant Performance Period. The total return of the Benchmark shall be calculated as follows: the average closing price for the last three (3) months of the Performance Period (i.e., August 1 – October 31 of the applicable calendar year) (“Ending Quarter”) minus the average closing price for the three months preceding the first day of the Performance Period (i.e., August 1 – October 31 of the applicable calendar year) (“Beginning Quarter”) divided by the average closing price for the Beginning Quarter.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Company Performance” shall mean the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Common Stock for the relevant Performance Period. The TSR shall be calculated as follows: the average closing price for the Beginning Quarter minus the average closing price for the Ending Quarter plus any dividends paid, divided by the average closing price for the Beginning Quarter.

-18-

---

 

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Vesting Date” shall mean the date on which the Administrator certifies the Company Performance for the relevant Performance Period. Such certification date shall occur not later than sixty (60) days following the end of any Performance Period, unless otherwise specified by the Change in Control provisions below. The Target Award shall be divided into two equal tranches, with one tranche assigned to each Performance Period. For each tranche, the actual number of MSUs that will vest will be determined by the Administrator based on the Company Performance for the applicable Performance Period relative to the Benchmark Performance for the applicable Performance Period and will range from 0% to 150% of the portion of the Target Award allocated to such tranche.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Target Performance” shall mean the Benchmark Performance. For each tranche, vesting of the entire portion of the Target Award allocated to such tranche requires the Company Performance for the applicable Performance Period to be equal to the Target Performance for the applicable Performance Period. If the Company Performance for the Performance Period (a) is a percentage that is less than or equal to zero and (b) exceeds the Target Performance for the Performance Period, then 100% of the Target Award allocated to such tranche will vest. If the Company Performance for the Performance Period (a) is a percentage greater than zero and (b) exceeds the Target Performance for the Performance Period, then (y) an above-target number of MSUs in the tranche will vest, up to a maximum of 150% of the portion of the Target Award allocated to the tranche (the “Maximum Award”) and (z) a multiple of two (2) will be applied to the percentage points by which Company Performance for the Performance Period exceeds Target Performance for the Performance Period to calculate the exact number of MSUs in the tranche that vest. If Company Performance for the Performance Period is less than the Target Performance for the Performance Period, a multiple of three (3) will be applied to the percentage points by which Company Performance for the Performance Period trails the Target Performance for the Performance Period to calculate the exact number of MSUs in the tranche that vest.

The following are sample calculations for the First Performance Period:

-19-

---

 

If all the MSUs allocated to the First Performance Period do not vest during the First Performance Period, the unvested MSUs in the tranche covered by the First Performance Period shall be forfeited. Unvested MSUs from the First Performance Period may not be carried over to the Second Performance Period. The number of MSUs that vest pursuant to the above calculations shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of MSUs.

In the event of a Change in Control, each Performance Period shall be deemed to end upon the closing of the Change in Control (the “Closing”). The price of the Common Stock upon such Closing will be used for the measurement of Company Performance when calculating whether any MSUs will be eligible to vest. Once it has been determined that there will be MSUs that are eligible to vest, the number of MSUs that are eligible to vest for each Performance Period will be calculated. For each Performance Period, a prorated number (determined by multiplying (x) the number of number of MSUs eligible to vest by (y) the fraction obtained by dividing (A) the number of days elapsed from the beginning of the Performance Period to the date of the Closing by (B) the number of days in the originally scheduled Performance Period, and rounded to the nearest whole number of MSUs) of the MSUs that have become eligible to vest will vest immediately prior to and contingent upon the Change in Control. The remaining MSUs that are eligible to vest will vest in equal monthly installments over the period from the date of the Closing through the date the Performance Period was originally scheduled to end, subject to Participant’s continued status as a Service Provider.

The above shall apply unless the Award is vested earlier in accordance with the terms of any change in control agreement, retention agreement, or employment agreement between Participant and the Company. For purposes of clarity, MSUs that are converted to time-based vesting as a result of a Change in Control shall be treated as Restricted Stock Units for all purposes of the Plan and any change in control agreement, retention agreement, or employment agreement between Participant and the Company.

In the event Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason before Participant vests in the MSUs, the MSUs and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately be forfeited and terminated.

 

If Participant does not wish to receive this Award and/or does not consent and agree to the terms and conditions on which the Award is offered, as set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions of Performance Unit Award, attached hereto as Exhibit A, then Participant must reject the Award by notifying the Company at Accuray Incorporated, Attention Stock Administration, 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 no later than one (1) month following the Date of Grant, in which case the Award will be cancelled. Participant’s failure to notify the Company of his or her rejection of the Award within this specified period will constitute Participant’s acceptance of the Award and his or her agreement with all terms and conditions of the Award, as set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions of Performance Unit Award, attached hereto as Exhibit A, all of which are made a part of this document.

 

Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel, and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and Award Agreement. By accepting this Award, Participant hereby agrees (i) to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and the Award Agreement, (ii) to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated above, and (iii) to the extent required by Section 7 of Exhibit A, the sale of Shares to cover the Tax-Related Items (and any associated broker or other fees) and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express written consent.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of MSUs, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 21(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each MSU represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the MSUs will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment of any such MSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested MSUs, such MSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any MSUs that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested MSUs shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any MSUs payable under this Award Agreement.

3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the MSUs awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that (i) if a Vesting Date falls on a day upon which the U.S. national securities markets are not open for trading, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day, and (ii) if a Vesting Date falls on December 31, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day such that the Vesting Date, any sale to cover taxes, and applicable tax reporting all occur in the same calendar year. MSUs scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested MSUs at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such MSUs will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the MSUs is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated MSUs will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated MSUs will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the MSUs will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the MSUs provided under this Award Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the MSUs that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately be forfeited and terminated.

6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (i) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

7. Withholding of Taxes.

(a) Participant’s Responsibility; Company’s Obligation to Deliver Certificates. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the Tax-Related Items. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the MSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) Tax Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by Participant’s acceptance of the Award, Participant authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of shares from those Shares issued to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover Tax-Related Items and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express consent. In the event that such withholding by sale of Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, Participant authorizes the Company or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) delivery of already vested and owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (ii) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (iii) cash payment, (iv) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, or (v) such other means as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested MSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

-23-

---

 

Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8. Restrictions on Resale. Participant agrees not to sell any MSU Shares at a time when Applicable Laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as Participant’s status as a Service Provider continues and for such period of time after the termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider as the Company may specify.

9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

11. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of unvested MSUs awarded to Participant under this Award Agreement will be adjusted in accordance with the Plan.

12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Award Agreement will be addressed to the Company at Accuray Incorporated, 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California 94089, Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

13. Award is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. Participant may, however, dispose of this Award in Participant’s will or through a beneficiary designation.

14. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, this Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

15. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, qualification or rule compliance of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, the tax code and related regulations or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate) hereunder, such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, rule compliance, consent or approval will have been completed, effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority or securities exchange.

16. Plan Governs. This Award Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Award Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Award Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

17. Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any MSUs have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement.

18. Electronic Delivery. Participant agrees that the Company may deliver by electronic means all documents relating to the Plan, the MSUs, or future performance units that may be awarded under the Plan (including, without limitation, prospectuses required by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including, without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant also agrees that the Company may deliver these documents by posting them on a web site maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company. If the Company posts these documents on a web site, it will notify Participant by electronic means.

19. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Award Agreement.

20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Award Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement.

21. Modifications to the Award Agreement. This Award Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Award Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Award Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection to this Award of MSUs.

22. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an Award of MSUs under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

23. Governing Law and Venue. This Award Agreement will be governed by the laws of California, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Award of MSUs or this Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation will be conducted in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this Award of MSUs is made and/or to be performed.

24. Additional Terms for Non-U.S. Participants. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, for Participants outside the United States, this Award of MSUs shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B to this Award Agreement, including any additional terms and conditions for Participant’s country. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Exhibit B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law with respect to the issuance or sale of shares or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Exhibit B constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

25. Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by me or any other Participant of the Plan.

EXHIBIT B

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

 

This Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the MSUs granted to Participant under the Plan. Further, this Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the MSUs if Participant resides in one of the countries listed below.

 

NOTIFICATIONS

 

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit B as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the notification information may be out of date at the time the MSUs vest or Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

 

In addition, the notification information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.

 

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the MSUs are granted to Participant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

(b) the grant of this Award of MSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of MSUs, or benefits in lieu of MSUs, even if MSUs have been granted in the past;

 

(c) all decisions with respect to future MSU awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(f) the MSUs and the Shares subject to the MSUs are extraordinary items that are outside the scope of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any;

(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(k) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the MSUs and the Shares subject to the MSUs, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate of the Company;

 

(l) in the event of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), Participant’s right to vest in the MSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award of MSUs; and

 

(m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the MSUs or any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the MSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

 

2. No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant understands and agrees that Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

3. Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other MSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all MSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

 

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to a plan broker or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that he or she may

-28-

---

 

request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, the broker, and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States he or she may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant MSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

6. Insider Trading Notification. Participant acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell shares or rights to shares (e.g., MSUs) under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

 

7. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Notification. Participant understands that his or her country may have certain exchange control and/or foreign asset/account reporting requirements which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Share) in a brokerage or bank account outside of Participant’s country. Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Participant’s country.

Thus MSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by the employee. When shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Award Agreement:

 

If payment or withholding of the Tax-Related Items is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the liability for income tax (the “Due Date”) occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Award Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant understands and agrees that if he or she is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax liability.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 21(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Award Agreement.

3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that (i) if a Vesting Date falls on a day upon which the U.S. national securities markets are not open for trading, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day, and (ii) if a Vesting Date falls on December 31, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day such that the Vesting Date, any sale to cover taxes, and applicable tax reporting all occur in the same calendar year. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that

-38-

---

 

none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Award Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately be forfeited and terminated.

6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (i) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

7. Withholding of Taxes.

(a) Participant’s Responsibility; Company’s Obligation to Deliver Certificates. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax‑related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the Tax-Related Items. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) Tax Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by Participant’s acceptance of the Award, Participant authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of shares from those Shares issued to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover Tax-Related Items and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express consent. In the event that such withholding by sale of Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, Participant authorizes the Company or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) delivery of already vested and owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to

-39-

---

 

be withheld, (ii) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (iii) cash payment, (iv) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, or (v) such other means as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8. Restrictions on Resale. Participant agrees not to sell any Restricted Stock Unit Shares at a time when Applicable Laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as Participant’s status as a Service Provider continues and for such period of time after the termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider as the Company may specify.

9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

10. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

11. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded to Participant under this Award Agreement will be adjusted in accordance with the Plan.

12. Address for Notices.

13. Award is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. Participant may, however, dispose of this Award in Participant’s will or through a beneficiary designation.

14. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, this Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

15. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, qualification or rule compliance of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, the tax code and related regulations or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate) hereunder, such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, rule compliance, consent or approval will have been completed, effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority or securities exchange.

16. Plan Governs. This Award Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Award Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Award Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

17. Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement.

18. Electronic Delivery. Participant agrees that the Company may deliver by electronic means all documents relating to the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units, or future restricted stock units that may be awarded under the Plan (including, without limitation, prospectuses required by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including, without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant also agrees that the Company may deliver these documents by posting them on a web site maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company. If the Company posts these documents on a web site, it will notify Participant by electronic means.

EXHIBIT B

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

 

This Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to Participant under the Plan. Further, this Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units if Participant resides in one of the countries listed below.

 

NOTIFICATIONS

 

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit B as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the notification information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

 

In addition, the notification information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.

 

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Restricted Stock Units are granted to Participant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

 

A. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

 

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

 

(b) the grant of this Award of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

 

(c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

(d) the Restricted Stock Unit grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

 

(e) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 

(h) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

 

(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

 

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of Participant’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of any employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of this Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer or any of the other Affiliates of the Company;

 

(k) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate of the Company;

 

(l) in the event of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award of Restricted Stock Units; and

 

(m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

 

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to a plan broker or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.

Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, the broker, and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States he or she may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the resale of such shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the NASDAQ Global Select Market)

 

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Foreign property, including Shares and Restricted Stock Units, held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of Participant’s foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus Restricted Stock Units must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by the employee. When shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF French-qualified RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 20(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. Restricted Stock Units granted to Participants in France are intended to be French-qualified Restricted Stock Units that qualify for the favorable income tax and social security regime in France, as set forth in the French Plan. Certain events may affect the status of the Restricted Stock Units as French-qualified Restricted Stock Units and the Award may be disqualified in the future. The Company does not make any undertaking or representation to maintain the qualified status of the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units during the life of the Award, and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amounts if the Restricted Stock Units no longer qualify as French-qualified Restricted Stock Units.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Award Agreement.

3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that (i) if a Vesting Date falls on a day upon which the U.S. national securities markets are not open for trading, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day, and (ii) if a Vesting Date falls on December 31, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day such that the Vesting Date, any sale to cover taxes, and applicable tax reporting all occur in the same calendar year. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. As detailed in the Notice of Grant, in no case shall the Vesting Date occur prior to the expiration of a one-year period as calculated from the Date of Grant, or such other period as is required to comply with the minimum vesting period applicable to French-qualified Restricted Stock Units under Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, the relevant Sections of the French Tax Code or of the French Social Security Code, as amended, except in the case of death of the Participant.

4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a

-53-

---

 

“specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Award Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately be forfeited and terminated, except in the event of cessation of employment or service due to death as provided in Section 6 below.

6. Death of Participant. Should Participant cease continuous employment or other service by reason of death prior to a Vesting Date, then all unvested Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest as of the date of Participant's death and the shares underlying the Award shall be issued to (a) the personal representative of Participant's estate or (b) the person or persons to whom the shares are transferred pursuant to Participant's will or the laws of inheritance, in compliance with French civil rules on inheritance, upon their request within a six month period measured from the date of Participant's death. If Participant's heirs do not request distribution or delivery of the shares underlying the Award within six months of Participant's death, as provided herein, the Award shall be cancelled with respect to those shares and Participant's heirs shall forfeit all rights and interests therein.

7. Withholding of Taxes.

(a) Participant’s Responsibility; Company’s Obligation to Deliver Certificates. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax‑related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the Tax-Related Items. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

-54-

(b) Tax Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by Participant’s acceptance of the Award, Participant authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of shares from those Shares issued to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover Tax-Related Items and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express consent. In the event that such withholding by sale of Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, Participant authorizes the Company or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) delivery of already vested and owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (ii) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (iii) cash payment, (iv) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, or (v) such other means as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Participant will not be permitted to sell or transfer any Shares issued to Participant upon vesting of the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units until the second anniversary of the applicable Date of Grant, or such other period as is required to comply with the minimum holding period applicable to Shares underlying French-qualified Restricted Stock Units under Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended or by the French Tax Code or French Social Security Code, as amended to benefit from the favorable tax and social security regime, provided however, that this mandatory holding period shall not apply in the event of Participant's termination of employment by reason of death or Special Disability (as defined in the French Plan). Furthermore, the Shares underlying French-qualified Restricted Stock Units cannot be sold during certain Closed Periods (as defined in the French Plan and as interpreted by the French administrative guidelines), to the extent applicable under French law.

If the Participant qualifies as a managing director under French law (“mandataires sociaux,” i.e., Président du Conseil d'Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions) of the French Subsidiary and is subject to shareholding restrictions under French law, the Participant must hold 20% of the Shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units in a nominative account until the Participant ceases to serve as a managing director, as long as this restriction is required under French law.

At the Company's discretion, the share certificates for all Shares subject to the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units may bear a legend setting forth the restriction on sale or transfer for the time period set out in this Section 8. In addition, the Shares may be held until the expiration of the holding period, at the Company's discretion, either by the Company or by a transfer agent designated by the Company. In addition, the Shares may be held in an account

-55-

in Participant's name with a broker designated by the Company or in such manner as the Company may otherwise determine in compliance with French law, and with holding periods.

9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

10. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

11. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded to Participant under this Award Agreement will be adjusted in accordance with the Plan.

12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Award Agreement will be addressed to the Company at Accuray Incorporated, 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, California 94089, Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

13. Award is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. Participant may, however, dispose of this Award in Participant’s will or through a beneficiary designation.

14. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, this Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

15. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, qualification or rule compliance of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, the tax code and related regulations or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate) hereunder, such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, rule compliance, consent or approval will have been completed, effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority or securities exchange.

16. Plan Governs. This Award Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Award Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Award Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

17. Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement.

18. Electronic Delivery. Participant agrees that the Company may deliver by electronic means all documents relating to the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units, or future restricted stock units that may be awarded under the Plan (including, without limitation, prospectuses required by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including, without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant also agrees that the Company may deliver these documents by posting them on a web site maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company. If the Company posts these documents on a web site, it will notify Participant by electronic means.

19. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Award Agreement.

20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Award Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement.

21. Modifications to the Award Agreement. This Award Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Award Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Award Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection to this Award of Restricted Stock Units.

22. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

23. Governing Law and Venue. This Award Agreement will be governed by the laws of California, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Award of Restricted Stock Units or this Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation will be conducted in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this Award of Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be performed.

24. Additional Terms for Non-U.S. Participants. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, for Participants outside the United States, this Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B to this Award Agreement, including any additional terms and conditions for Participant’s country. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Exhibit B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law with respect to the issuance or sale of shares or to facilitate the administration of the Plan.

EXHIBIT B

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

 

This Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to Participant under the Plan. Further, this Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units if Participant resides in one of the countries listed below.

 

NOTIFICATIONS

 

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit B as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the notification information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

 

In addition, the notification information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.

 

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Restricted Stock Units are granted to Participant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

 

A. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1. Nature of Award. In accepting this Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees to the following:

(b) the grant of this Award of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

 

(c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

(d) the Restricted Stock Unit grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

 

(e) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

 

(f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that are outside the scope of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any;

 

(g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 

-59-

---

 

(h) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

 

(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

 

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of Participant’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of any employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of this Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer or any of the other Affiliates of the Company;

 

(k) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate of the Company;

 

(l) in the event of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award of Restricted Stock Units; and

 

(m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

 

2. No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant understands and agrees that Participant should to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

3. Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other Restricted Stock Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

 

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to a plan broker or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have

-60-

---

 

different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, the broker, and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States he or she may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Le Participant accepte ainsi les termes et conditions inclus dans ces document.

5. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units, and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law with respect to the issuance or sale of shares or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

 

6. Insider Trading Notification. Participant acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell shares or rights to shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

 

7. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Notification.

Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Participant’s country.

CANADA

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Form of Settlement. If Participant is resident in Canada, Restricted Stock Units will be settled in Shares only. In no event will any Restricted Stock Units be settled in cash, notwithstanding any discretion contained in the Plan to the contrary.

 

Termination of Employment. This provision replaces Section A.1(l) of this Exhibit B:

For purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, in the event of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earliest of (i) the date that Participant’s employment with the Company, the Employer or any other Affiliate is terminated; (ii) the date Participant receives notice of termination of employment from the Company or the Employer (regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under Canadian employment law including, but not limited to, statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); and (iii) the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or the Employer.

Authorization to Release and Transfer Necessary Personal Information. This provision supplements Section A.3 of this Exhibit B:

Participant hereby authorizes the Company (including its Affiliates), the Employer and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan.

Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the resale of such shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the NASDAQ Global Select Market)

 

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Foreign property, including Shares and Restricted Stock Units, held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of Participant’s foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus Restricted Stock Units must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by the employee. When shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.

 

 

FRANCE

For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.

Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

(b) No Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan which permits his rights to purchase stock under the Plan, and to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary subject to Section 423 of the Code, to accrue at a rate

 

---

 

which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time the option is granted) for each calendar year in which the option is outstanding at any time. For purposes of the limitation imposed by this subsection, the right to purchase stock under an option accrues when the option (or any portion thereof) first becomes exercisable during the calendar year, the right to purchase stock under an option accrues at the rate provided in the option, but in no case may such rate exceed $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for any one calendar year, and a right to purchase stock which has accrued under an option may not be carried over to any option. This limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Alternatively, during a leave of absence approved by the Company or a Subsidiary and meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-7(h)(2), a participant may elect to continue participating in the Plan, but not make any payroll deductions or cash payments. Any payroll deductions made prior to the beginning of the leave in the current Offering Period that have not already been used to purchase shares will be used to purchase shares at the end of the Purchase Period. The participant may resume payroll deduction when the leave ends and they return to work in an amount

equal to their payroll deductions under the Plan for the pay day immediately preceding the first day of such participant’s leave of absence.

If a leave of absence is unapproved or fails to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-7(h)(2), the participant will cease automatically to participate in the Plan. In such event, the Company will automatically cease to deduct the participant’s payroll under the Plan. The Company will pay to the participant his or her total payroll deductions for the Offering Period that have not already been used to purchase shares, in cash in one lump sum (without interest), as soon as practicable after the participant ceases to participate in the Plan.

among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each participant which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of stock shall be paid to such participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Exercise Date, without any interest thereon.

If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise, subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The governance of the Committee shall be subject to the charter of the Committee as approved by the Board.

The Administrator also is authorized to determine that, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.423‑2(f), the terms of an option granted under the Plan or an Offering to citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of options granted under the Plan or the same Offering to employees resident solely in the U.S. The Administrator at its option may utilize the services of an agent to assist in the administration of the Plan including establishing and maintaining an individual securities account under the Plan for each participant. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan.

(c) All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Administrator in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company. The Administrator may, with the approval of the Board, employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons.
