(b) By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Major Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any Derivative Securities then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Derivative Securities). At the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Major Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a Fully Exercising Investor) of any other Major Investors failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares.

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first re-offered to the Major Investors in accordance with this Section 3.1.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 3.1 shall not be applicable to (i) Exempted Securities; (ii) shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO; and (iii) the

The closing of such sale shall occur on a date designated by the Company that is within sixty (60) days of the date notice is given to the Major Investors.

The covenants set forth in Section 3.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the IPO or (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whichever event occurs first.

4.1 Rights of Refusal.
(a) Grant. Subject to the terms of this Section 4, each Shareholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to TomoTherapy a Right of First Refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Shares that are subject to a Proposed Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Prospective Transferee, or pursuant to this Agreement in the absence of any such ascertainable price, terms and conditions.
(b) Notice. Any Shareholder proposing to make a Proposed Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to TomoTherapy and the Company not later than ninety (90) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Transfer. Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee.

Subject to the terms of Section 5 below, each Shareholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Shares not purchased by TomoTherapy pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Section 4.1(c). If TomoTherapy does not intend to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer, TomoTherapy must deliver a Non-exercise Notice to the Company and the selling Shareholder to that effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling Shareholder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice
-7-
pursuant to Section 4.1(b). To exercise its Secondary Refusal Right, the Company must deliver an Exercise Notice to the selling Shareholder and TomoTherapy within ten (10) days after TomoTherapys deadline for its delivery of the Non-exercise Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.
(d) Grant of Tertiary Refusal Rights to the Shareholders. Subject to the terms of Section 5 below, each Shareholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to each other Shareholder (other than TomoTherapy) a Tertiary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Shares not purchased by TomoTherapy pursuant to its exercise of the Right of First Refusal or by the Company pursuant to its exercise of the Secondary Refusal Right, as provided in this Section 4.1(d). If the Company does not intend to exercise its Secondary Refusal Right with respect to all Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer that were not purchased by TomoTherapy pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, the Company must deliver a Non-exercise Notice to the selling Shareholder and to each other Shareholder to that effect, accompanied by a copy of the Proposed Transfer Notice, no later than thirty (30) days after the selling Shareholder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice pursuant to Section 4.1(b). To exercise its Tertiary Refusal Right, a Shareholder (other than TomoTherapy) must deliver an Exercise Notice to the selling Shareholder and the Company within forty (40) days after the Companys deadline for its delivery of the Non-exercise Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.
(e) Undersubscription of Shares. If options to purchase under this Section 4 have been exercised by TomoTherapy, the Company and the Shareholders (other than TomoTherapy) with respect to some but not all of the Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer by the end of the 40-day period specified in the last sentence of Section 4.1(d) (the Shareholder Notice Period), then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Shareholder Notice Period, send written notice (the Company Undersubscription Notice) to those Shareholders who fully exercised their Tertiary Refusal Right within the Shareholder Notice Period (the Exercising Shareholders). Each Exercising Shareholder shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1(e), have an additional option to purchase all or any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Shareholder must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the selling Shareholder and the Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Shareholder Notice Period. In the event there are two or more such Exercising Shareholders that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining Shares available for purchase under this Section 4.1(e) shall be allocated to such Exercising Shareholders pro rata based on the number of Shares such Exercising Shareholders have elected to purchase pursuant to the Tertiary Refusal Right (without giving effect to any Shares that any such Exercising Shareholder has elected to purchase pursuant to the Company Undersubscription Notice). If the options to purchase the remaining Shares are exercised in full by the Exercising Shareholders, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Shareholders and the selling Shareholder of that fact.
-8-
(f) Forfeiture of Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of Shares that TomoTherapy, the Company and the Shareholders (other than TomoTherapy) have agreed to purchase pursuant to the exercise of the Right of First Refusal, the Secondary Refusal Right and the Tertiary Refusal Right, respectively, is less than the total number of Shares subject to the Proposed Transfer, then TomoTherapy, the Company and the Shareholders (other than TomoTherapy) shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase such Shares, and the selling Shareholder shall be free to sell all, but not less than all, of such Shares to the Prospective Transferee on terms and conditions substantially similar to (and in no event more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than) the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice, it being understood and agreed that (i) any such sale or transfer shall be subject to the other terms and restrictions of this Agreement, including without limitation the terms and restrictions set forth in this Section 4; (ii) any future Proposed Transfer shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 4; and (iii) such sale shall be consummated within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company and, if such sale is not consummated within such ninety (90) day period, such sale shall again become subject to the Right of First Refusal, the Secondary Refusal Right and the Tertiary Refusal Right on the terms set forth herein.
(g) Consideration; Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, TomoTherapy, the Company or such Shareholder may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by TomoTherapy and as set forth in its Exercise Notice. If the Proposed Transfer is involuntary or by operation of law, the purchase price to be paid by TomoTherapy, the Company and the purchasing Shareholders hereunder shall be equal to appraised value for the Shares being transferred, as determined by an appraiser selected those purchasing a majority of the Shares being purchased. The closing of the purchase by TomoTherapy, the Company and/or the Shareholders of Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 4 shall take place, and all payments from TomoTherapy, the Company and the Shareholders shall have been delivered to the selling Shareholder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Transfer and (ii) ninety (90) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.
(h) Prohibited Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder shall transfer any Shares to any Person that, in the determination of the Board or TomoTherapy, directly or indirectly competes with the Company or TomoTherapy.
4.2 Right of Co-Sale.
(a) Exercise of Right. If any Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer are not purchased pursuant to Section 4.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each respective Shareholder may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Transfer as set forth in Section 4.2(b) below and otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice. Each Shareholder who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale must give the selling Shareholder written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the deadline
-9-
for delivery of the Secondary Notice described above, and upon giving such notice such Shareholder shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.
(b) Shares Includable. Each Shareholder who timely exercises such Shareholders Right of Co-Sale by delivering the written notice provided for above in Section 4.2(a) may include in the Proposed Transfer all or any part of such Shareholders Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Proposed Transfer (excluding Shares purchased by the Company or the Shareholders pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, Secondary Refusal Right or Tertiary Refusal Right) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by such Shareholder immediately before consummation of the Proposed Transfer (including any shares that such Shareholder has agreed to purchase pursuant to the Tertiary Refusal Right) and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares of owned, in the aggregate, by all Shareholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer (including any shares that all Shareholders have collectively agreed to purchase pursuant to the Tertiary Refusal Right).
(c) Delivery of Certificates. Each Shareholder shall effect its participation in the Proposed Transfer by delivering to the transferring Shareholder, no later than fifteen (15) days after such Shareholders exercise of the Right of Co-Sale, one or more stock certificates, properly endorsed for transfer to the Prospective Transferee, representing the number of Shares that such Shareholder elects to include in the Proposed Transfer.
(d) Purchase Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction and the parties further covenant and agree to enter into such an agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer pursuant to this Section 4.2.
(e) Deliveries. Each stock certificate a Shareholder delivers to the selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.2(c) above will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement, and the selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each Shareholder the portion of the sale proceeds to which such Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. If any Prospective Transferee refuses to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Shareholder exercising its Right of Co-Sale hereunder, no Shareholder may sell any Shares to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Shareholder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Shareholder on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice.
(f) Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Transfer is not consummated within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Shareholders proposing the Proposed Transfer may not sell any Shares unless they first comply in full with each provision of this Section 4. The exercise or election not to
-10-
exercise any right by any Shareholder hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Shares subject to this Section 4.2.
4.3 Effect of Failure to Comply.
(a) Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Shares not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).
(b) Violation of Refusal Rights. If any Shareholder becomes obligated to sell any Shares to TomoTherapy, the Company or any Shareholder under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, TomoTherapy, the Company and/or such Shareholders may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Shareholder the purchase price for such Shares as is herein specified and transfer to the name of TomoTherapy, the Company or such Shareholder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of TomoTherapy or such Shareholder) on the Companys books the certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be sold.
