Each Shareholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of shareholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the shareholders, the following persons shall be elected to the Board:
     (a) One individual designated by the holders of a majority of the Series A Common Stock (the “Series A Director”); provided, however, that those shares of Series

     (d) change the principal business of the Company, enter new lines of business, or exit the current line of business;
     (e) sell, assign, license, pledge, or encumber material technology or intellectual property, other than licenses granted in the ordinary course of business or those agreements substantially in place as of the date of the Purchase Agreement; or
     (f) declare or make any dividend or other distribution.

     (a) no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.4 of this Agreement may be removed from office, unless the Person(s) originally entitled to designate or approve such director or occupy such Board seat pursuant to Section 1.2 is no longer so entitled to designate or approve such director or occupy such Board seat;

     (c) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, a statement showing the number of shares of each class and series of capital stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock outstanding at the end of the period, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto, and the number of shares of issued stock options and stock options not yet issued but reserved for issuance, if any, all in sufficient detail as to permit the Major Investors to calculate their respective percentage equity ownership in the Company, and certified by the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of the Company as being true, complete and correct; and
     (d) as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the end of each month, an unaudited income statement and statement of cash flows for such month, and an unaudited balance sheet and statement of shareholders’ equity as of the end of such month, all prepared in accordance with GAAP (except that such financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP).

Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Section 2.1 during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s covenants under this Section 2.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided, further, that the Company will cease providing the information set forth in this Section 2.1 upon the request of TomoTherapy.
     2.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, at such Major Investor’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties and discuss the Company’s affairs with its officers, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Major Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.2 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to the Company) or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.

Upon written request, the Company shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; provided, further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel; result in disclosure of trade secrets; is deemed by the Board to include competitive or sensitive customer-related matters of the Company or of TomoTherapy; or result in a conflict of interests.
     2.4 Termination of Information and Observation Rights.

-5-


 

Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Major Investor in accordance with the following:
     (a) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Major Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.
     (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 Investor’s 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. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall occur on a date designated by the Company that is within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 3.1(c).
     (c) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 3.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 3.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. 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

-6-


 

issuance of 2nd Tranche Shares or 3rd Tranche Shares (as those terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement).
     (e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in complying with the provisions of this Section 3.1, the Company may elect to give notice to the Major Investors within thirty (30) days after the issuance of New Securities. Such notice shall describe the type, price, and terms of the New Securities. Each Major Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date notice is given to elect to purchase up to the number of New Securities that would, if purchased by such Major Investor, maintain such Major Investor’s percentage-ownership position, calculated as set forth in Section 3.1(b) before giving effect to the issuance of such New Securities. 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.
     3.2 Termination. 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. Agreement Among the Company and the Shareholders Regarding Transfers of Shares.
     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. To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 4, TomoTherapy must deliver an Exercise Notice to the selling Shareholder within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.
     (c) Grant of Secondary Refusal Right to the Company. 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 TomoTherapy’s 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 Company’s 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 Shareholder’s 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 Shareholder’s 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 Shareholder’s 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.

-11-


 

         
    Series A Purchase Price = $1.00 * A * (1 + I)^(M/12)
 
       
    Series B Purchase Price = ($2.46 * B * (1.5^(M/12))) – ($2.46 * B)

  B =   The number of shares of Series B Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Call Right.
 
       
 
  I =   If the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock that the selling Series A Holder has purchased or has a then-current right to purchase is greater than or equal to 2,000,000, then 0.2, but if less than 2,000,000, then 0.
 
       
 
  M =   The number of full months between the relevant share purchase date and (i) if the holder failed to meet the holder’s obligation pursuant to its initial commitment to purchase stock in either the 2nd Tranche Sale or 3rd Tranche Sale (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the date that the holder first failed to make such purchase, or (ii) if the holder fulfilled all obligations of the Transaction Agreements, the date of the sale pursuant to the Call Right.
     5.4 Closing. The closing of the purchase of the Call Shares by TomoTherapy shall occur at the principal office of the Company on date designated by TomoTherapy that is on or before fifteen (15) business days following TomoTherapy’s delivery of the Call Notice. At such closing, TomoTherapy shall deliver to each selling Shareholder, against delivery of certificates duly endorsed and stock powers representing the Call Shares held by such selling Shareholder, cash in an amount equal to the Series A Purchase Price and the Series B Purchase Price, as applicable, for the Call Shares held by such selling Shareholder, pursuant to a written purchase agreement between the Company and each Shareholder, in which each Shareholder shall make all customary representations and warranties given by sellers of a equity securities, including, without limitation, representations and warranties as to: (1) binding execution of the purchase agreement; (2) enforceability obligations under the purchase agreement; (3) authority, capacity and power to execute and delivery the purchase agreement and the agreements contemplated thereby; (4) good and marketable title to the Call Shares held by the selling Shareholder, free and clear of liens and encumbrances; (5) proper approval of such proposed sale; and (6) no violation of any other agreement to which the selling Shareholder is a party.

Each party to this Agreement hereby constitutes and appoints the President and Treasurer of the Company, and each of them, with full power of substitution, as the proxies of the party with respect to the matters set forth herein, including without limitation, election of persons as members of the Board in accordance with Section 1 hereof and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and to vote, if and only if the party (i) fails to vote or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such party’s Shares in favor of the election of persons as members of the Board determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The proxy granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Shareholders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive or terminate these restrictions with respect to up to 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock.

9. Miscellaneous.

Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by any transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee were the transferor and such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Shareholder. In addition to all other restrictions on the transfer of Shares set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not permit the transfer of Shares subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Shares unless and until such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Section 9.2.

-15-


 

     The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, termination or waiver hereunder to any party directly affected thereby that did not consent in writing thereto. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9.8 shall be binding on each party and all of such party’s successors and permitted assigns, whether or not any such party, successor or assign entered into or approved such amendment, termination or waiver.
     9.9 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default previously or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

The Company, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Shares issued after the date hereof to bear the legend required by this Section 9.12, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 9.12 herein and/or

-16-


 

the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
     9.13 Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. In the event of any issuance of Shares hereafter to any of the Shareholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 9.12.

     9.17 Costs of Enforcement. If any party to this Agreement seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees.
