Overview

We design, manufacture and market MRIdian, the first and only MRI-guided radiation therapy system that images and treats cancer patients simultaneously. MRI is a broadly used imaging tool which has the ability to differentiate between types of soft tissue clearly, unlike X-ray or computed tomography, or CT, the most commonly used imaging technologies in radiation therapy today. MRIdian integrates MRI technology, radiation delivery and our proprietary software to locate, target and track the position and shape of soft-tissue tumors while radiation is delivered. These capabilities allow MRIdian to deliver radiation to the tumor accurately while delivering less radiation to healthy tissue than existing radiation therapy treatments. We believe this innovation leads to improved patient outcomes and reduced side effects from off-target radiation delivery. We received 510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for MRIdian in May 2012 and received permission to affix the CE mark in November 2014. Patients are actively receiving treatment on MRIdian systems at three cancer centers.

Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and the second leading cause of death in the United States. Radiation therapy is a common method used to treat cancer that uses lethal doses of ionizing energy to damage genetic material in cells. Nearly two-thirds of all treated cancer patients in the United States will receive some form of radiation therapy during the course of their illness, according to estimates by the American Society for Radiation Oncology, or ASTRO. In 2013, IMV Medical Information Division, Inc., or IMV, reported that 93% of patients receiving radiation therapy in the United States were treated by a linear accelerator, or linac. The global linac market was $2.8 billion in 2011 and was expected to grow to $3.7 billion by 2016 according to a 2012 Markets and Markets report. IAEA Human Health Campus reported that there are over 11,000 linacs installed at over 7,500 centers worldwide. We believe the addressable market for MRIdian is the annual market for linacs due to MRIdian’s ability to treat a broad spectrum of disease sites. However, we believe that MRIdian may be used more frequently for complex cancer cases that may be difficult to treat on a standard linac due to the location of the tumor in relation to the surrounding soft tissues. We currently estimate the annual market for linacs to be 1,100 units per year globally, the majority of which are replacement units.

Despite the prevalence of MRI for diagnostic purposes and its ability to image soft tissue clearly, the radiation therapy industry has been unable to integrate MRI into external-beam radiation therapy systems. Existing radiation therapy systems use X-ray-based imaging technologies, such as CT, which cannot differentiate between types of soft tissue or provide an accurate visualization of a tumor and its position in relation to critical organs. In addition, existing systems that offer imaging during the course of a treatment are limited by the rate at which they can image due to the level of radiation to which they expose the patient. These constraints make it difficult for a clinician to locate a tumor accurately, track its motion in real-time or adapt treatment as anatomy changes. It is very difficult to irradiate a tumor while minimizing the amount of radiation hitting critical organs without the ability to see the tumor’s exact location and shape. If a tumor is insufficiently irradiated, it may not respond to treatment, resulting in a lower probability of survival for the patient. If organs and other healthy soft tissues are irradiated, side effects can be severe, including organ failure and secondary cancers.

MRIdian is a next-generation, radiation therapy solution that enables treatment and real-time imaging of a patient’s anatomy simultaneously. The high-quality images that it generates clearly differentiate the targeted tumor, surrounding soft tissue and nearby critical organs. MRIdian also records the level of radiation dose that the treatment area has received, enabling physicians to adapt the prescription between treatments as needed. We believe this improved visualization and accurate dose recording will enable better treatment, improve patient outcomes and reduce side effects. Key benefits to users and patients include improved imaging and patient alignment, on-table adaptive treatment planning, motion management and an accurate recording of the delivered radiation dose. Physicians have already used MRIdian to treat a broad spectrum of radiation therapy patients with more than 20 different types of cancer, as well as patients for whom radiation therapy was previously not an option.

We currently market MRIdian through a direct sales force in the United States and distributors in the rest of the world. At September 30, 2015, we had four MRIdian systems installed and had 14 signed orders for new systems for a backlog value of $78.0 million. We generated revenue of $5.8 million and $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and had net losses of $30.9 million and $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. We generated revenue of $3.2 million in 2013 and $6.4 million in 2014 and had net losses of $27.2 million in 2013 and $33.8 million in 2014.

Current Radiation Therapy Process and Limitations

We believe the key limitations of existing radiation therapy technologies are the following:

 

    Inability to accurately locate a tumor for treatment alignment. To locate a tumor, current radiation therapy systems rely on on-table CT scans that are unable to differentiate between types of soft tissue. Therefore, surrogate registration markers, including existing bone structures, external marks and surgically implanted fiducials, are frequently used to align a patient to the treatment beams prior to commencing treatment. By relying on a proxy for tumor location rather than the tumor itself, clinicians risk missing the tumor and risk hitting healthy tissue when they deliver treatment beams into a patient’s body because the spatial relationship between the tumor, healthy tissues and these markers frequently changes.

 

    Inability to adapt treatment on table. A physician designs a treatment plan based on images that are captured at the beginning of therapy. Creating a treatment plan can take one to two weeks, and treatment itself can take up to seven weeks. However, during the course of therapy, tumors often change size, orientation or shape and patient anatomy can change for reasons including weight loss or gain. Adjusting for these changes would require replanning, which may take several days and is resource intensive. As a result of these limitations, replanning is infrequently performed.

 

    Inability to track tumor and organ motion accurately. In addition to difficulty locating a tumor accurately in a patient’s body, a further challenge is accounting for ongoing tumor movement during treatment. Tumors have been shown to move multiple centimeters relative to surrogate registration markers over the course of only a few seconds. Although physicians use internal markers and external cameras and blocks to track respiratory and other motion, they are unable to track the tumor itself and its location relative to other soft tissues. This limitation increases the probability of missing the targeted treatment area. As a result, physicians usually enlarge the total region to be radiated, causing an additional risk of side effects.

 

    Inability to record cumulative radiation delivered. Currently, there are no methods to record the actual dose of radiation delivered to a tumor or surrounding healthy tissue during the course of treatment. Therefore, physicians must assume that the radiation is delivered according to plan, rather than making decisions based on actual dose delivered.

Each of these limitations increases the risk of missing a tumor and hitting healthy tissue during treatment. If a tumor is insufficiently irradiated, it may not respond to treatment, resulting in a lower probability of survival for the patient. If organs and other healthy soft tissues are irradiated, side effects can be severe, including organ failure and secondary cancers.

Our Solution

We have developed MRIdian to address the key limitations of existing radiation therapy technologies. We believe that MRIdian provides the following clinical and commercial benefits to physicians, hospitals and patients:

 

    Improved tumor visibility and patient alignment. The soft-tissue contrast of MRIdian’s on-board MRI enables clinicians to locate, target and track the tumor and healthy tissues and accurately align a patient to the treatment beams without the use of surrogate registration markers, X-rays or CT.

 

    On-table adaptive planning. Using an MR image captured at the beginning of each therapy session, MRIdian automatically maps the patient’s soft tissue anatomy in 3D and calculates the dose that would be delivered using the current treatment plan. If the initial prescribed treatment is not clinically acceptable to the physician, MRIdian has the ability to automatically recalculate and adapt the plan to changing anatomy while the patient is on the table at the time of treatment, a capability unique to MRIdian. We believe hospitals will be able to bill incrementally for this replanning.

 

    Ability to track tumors and manage patient motion. MRIdian can capture multiple soft-tissue imaging planes concurrently during treatment and refresh the image multiple times per second. This real-time imaging enables the physician to track the movement of the tumor and the surrounding healthy tissue as treatment is delivered. If a tumor or critical organ moves beyond a physician-defined boundary, the treatment beam automatically pauses. This beam control becomes especially important in the situations where a tumor may be in close proximity to a critical organ.

 

    Record and evaluate the delivered dose. After each treatment MRIdian, calculates the dose delivered using a proprietary algorithm and advanced MR imaging, enabling the physician to review and re-optimize the patient’s treatment sessions if needed.

 

    Fits into existing treatment paradigms and workflow. MRIdian can be used with standard planning methodologies and is used to treat a broad spectrum of disease sites. In addition, we believe MRIdian’s increased target accuracy will allow physicians to treat with higher doses over fewer treatment fractions and potentially improve patient throughput and efficiency. MRIdian fits inside most standard radiation therapy vaults without significant modifications and is supported by existing codes that are available for linac reimbursement.

We believe the ability to image with MRI and treat cancer patients simultaneously will lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced side effects from off-target radiation delivery.

Our Strategy

Our objective is to make MRI-guided radiation delivery the standard of care for radiation therapy. To achieve this goal, we intend to do the following:

 

    target top-tier hospitals in initial global sales efforts to influence and increase market adoption;

 

    commercialize MRIdian with a targeted sales force in the United States and through distributors in international markets;

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
    increase broader awareness of MRIdian’s capabilities to expand our share of the radiation therapy market;

 

    maintain our competitive lead in MRI-guided radiation therapy through continued innovation;

 

    continue to work with leading hospitals to optimize efficiency and patient throughput; and

 

    drive cost reductions in the design and manufacture of MRIdian and improve our margins.

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

    We have incurred significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

 

    If clinicians do not widely adopt MRI-guided radiation therapy or MRIdian fails to achieve and sustain sufficient market acceptance, we will not generate sufficient revenue and our growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

 

    We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from the commercialization of MRIdian to achieve and maintain profitability.

 

    We are an early, commercial-stage company and have a limited history commercializing MRIdian, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future performance.

 

    If third-party payors do not provide coverage and adequate reimbursement to our customers, it could negatively impact sales of MRIdian.

 

    The long sales cycle and low unit volume sales of MRIdian, as well as other factors, may contribute to substantial fluctuations in our operating results and stock price and make it difficult to compare our results of operations across periods.

 

    Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability depends substantially on increasing our gross margins by reducing product costs and improving our economies of scale, which we may not be able to achieve or sustain.

 

    We face competition from numerous companies, many of whom have greater resources than we do or offer alternative technologies at lower prices than our MRIdian systems, which may make it more difficult for us to achieve significant market penetration and profitability.

 

    We rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers or, in some cases, sole suppliers, for the majority of our components, subassemblies and materials and may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers.

 

    We depend on third-party distributors to market and distribute MRIdian in international markets. If our distributors fail to successfully market and distribute MRIdian, our business will be harmed.

 

    We may need to raise additional capital to fund our existing commercial operations, develop and commercialize new features for MRIdian and new products and expand our operations.

 

    If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology or maintain issued patents that are sufficient to protect MRIdian, others could compete against us more directly, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Nevada as Mirax Corp. on September 6, 2013, and reincorporated in Delaware as ViewRay, Inc. on July 21, 2015.

On July 23, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vesuvius Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2015, or the Acquisition Sub, merged with and into ViewRay Technologies, Inc., a corporation incorporated in 2004 in the State of Florida originally under the name of ViewRay Incorporated, subsequently reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 2007 as ViewRay Incorporated, and changed its name to ViewRay Technologies Inc. in July 2015, referred to herein as ViewRay. On July 23, 2015, ViewRay, Inc., Acquisition Sub and ViewRay entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or the Merger Agreement, which closed on the same date. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into ViewRay, which was the surviving corporation and thus became our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding capital stock of ViewRay was converted into shares of our common stock.

In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, we transferred our pre-Merger assets and liabilities to our pre-Merger majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender by her and cancellation of 4,150,171 shares of our common stock, or the Split-Off. Upon the closing of the Merger, we discontinued our pre-Merger business and acquired the business of ViewRay and will continue the existing business operations of ViewRay as a publicly-traded company under the name ViewRay, Inc.

Upon the closing of the Merger, we ceased to be a “shell company” under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. On July 23, 2015, in connection with the Merger, our Board of Directors changed our fiscal year from a fiscal year ending on November 30 to one ending on December 31 of each year, which was the fiscal year of ViewRay.

On July 23, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, with certain accredited investors, providing for the issuance and sale to such investors of an aggregate of 5,884,504 shares of common stock issued and sold to accredited investors in a private placement offering in a series of closings on July 23, 2015, August 13, 2015 and August 17, 2015, at a purchase price per share of $5.00 and for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $29.4 million, or the Private Placement. After deducting for placement agent and other fees and expenses, the aggregate net proceeds from the Private Placement were $26.9 million. Northland Securities, Inc., Katalyst Securities LLC, Trout Capital LLC and MLV & Co. LLC, served as co-exclusive placement agents, or, along with their sub-agents, the Placement Agents, for the Private Placement.

The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains certain anti-dilution provisions. Those anti-dilution provisions provide that, subject to certain exceptions, if we issue and sell Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at a purchase price per share of lower than $5.00 within the six month period following July 23, 2015, each investor in the Private Placement shall be entitled to receive such number of additional shares of our common stock as they would have received had such lower purchase price per share been applicable in the Private Placement.

At the closings of the Private Placement we issued to the Placement Agents and their designees, warrants, or the Placement Agent Warrants, to acquire up to 198,760 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Each of the Placement Agent Warrants is exercisable at any time at the option of the holder until the five-year anniversary of its date of issuance.Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of the preferred stock. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the symbol “VRAY,” which changed from “MRXC” on July 20, 2015.

Our principal executive offices are located at 2 Thermo Fisher Way, Oakwood Village, Ohio 44146. Our telephone number is (440) 703-3210. Our website address is www.viewray.com. (The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this prospectus.)

We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of December 31, 2019, the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the last day of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion, the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer (this means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million at the end of the second quarter of that year), or the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company, we will:

 

    avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

    provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and

 

    not be required to hold stockholder non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

However, we are choosing to “opt out” of the extended transition periods available under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus. While we believe that the risks and uncertainties described below are the material risks currently facing us, additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also arise and materially affect our business. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy

We have incurred significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have historically incurred substantial net losses, including net losses of $10.3 million and $7.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $30.9 million and $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We expect our net losses to continue as a result of ongoing expansion of our commercial operations, including increased manufacturing, sales and marketing costs. These net losses have had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on our working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict when we will become profitable, and we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our inability to achieve and then maintain profitability could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Further, the net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, such that a period-to-period comparison of our results of operations may not be a good indication of our future performance quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, due to factors including the timing of clinical trials, any litigation that we may file or that may be filed against us, the execution of collaboration, licensing or other agreements and the timing of any payments we make or receive thereunder. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our 2014 financial statements that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We believe the closing of the Private Placement enables us to continue as a going concern.

If clinicians do not widely adopt MRI-guided radiation therapy or MRIdian fails to achieve and sustain sufficient market acceptance, we will not generate sufficient revenue and our growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

Our MRI-guided radiation therapy system, MRIdian, may never gain significant acceptance in the marketplace and, therefore, may never generate substantial revenue or allow us to achieve or maintain profitability. Widespread adoption of MRI-guided radiation therapy depends on many factors, including acceptance by clinicians that MRI-guided radiation therapy is clinically-effective and cost-effective in treating a wide range of cancers, demand by patients for such treatment, successful education of clinicians on the various aspects of this therapeutic approach and coverage and adequate reimbursement for procedures performed using MRI-guided radiation therapy. If we are not successful in conveying to hospitals that MRI-guided radiation therapy provides equivalent or superior radiation therapy compared to existing technologies, we may experience reluctance or refusal on the part of hospitals to order, and third-party payors to pay for performing, a treatment in which MRIdian is utilized. Our ability to achieve commercial market acceptance for MRIdian or any other future

products also depends on the strength of our sales, marketing and distribution organizations. In addition, our expectations regarding cost savings from using MRIdian may not be accurate. These hurdles may make it difficult to demonstrate to physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers that MRIdian is an appropriate option for radiation therapy, may be superior to available radiation therapy systems and may be more cost-effective than alternative technologies.

Furthermore, we may encounter difficulty in gaining inclusion in cancer treatment guidelines and gaining broad market acceptance by healthcare providers, third-party payors and patients. Healthcare providers may have difficulty in obtaining adequate reimbursement from government and/or third-party payors for cancer treatment, which may negatively impact adoption of MRIdian.

We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from the commercialization of MRIdian to achieve and maintain profitability.

We rely solely on the commercialization of MRIdian to generate revenue, and we expect to generate substantially all of our revenue in the future from sales of MRIdian. We have installed only four systems that are currently treating patients. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized revenue of $5.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively, from installed MRIdian systems at Washington University and Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes Jewish Hospital, or Washington University in St. Louis, University of California, Los Angeles and Health System and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, or UCLA, The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, or the University of Wisconsin—Madison, and Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea. In order to successfully commercialize MRIdian, we will need to continue to expand our marketing efforts to develop new relationships and expand existing relationships with customers, to receive clearance or approval for MRIdian in additional countries, to achieve and maintain compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and to develop and commercialize new features for MRIdian. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. If we fail to successfully commercialize MRIdian, we may never receive a return on the substantial investments in product development, sales and marketing, regulatory compliance, manufacturing and quality assurance we have made, as well as further investments we intend to make, which may cause us to fail to generate revenue and gain economies of scale from such investments.

In addition, potential customers may decide not to purchase MRIdian, or our customers may decide to cancel orders due to changes in treatment offerings, research and product development plans, difficulties in obtaining coverage or reimbursement for MRI-guided radiation therapy treatment, complications with facility build-outs, utilization of MRI-guided radiation therapy or other cancer treatment methods developed by other parties, lack of financing or the inability to obtain or delay in obtaining a certificate of need from state regulatory agencies or zoning restrictions, all of which are circumstances outside of our control.

In addition, demand for MRIdian systems may not increase as quickly as we predict, and we may be unable to increase our revenue levels as we expect. Even if we succeed in increasing adoption of MRIdian systems by hospitals and other healthcare providers, maintaining and creating relationships with our existing and new customers and developing and commercializing new features for MRIdian, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability.

We are an early, commercial-stage company and have a limited history commercializing MRIdian, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future performance.

We are an early, commercial-stage company and have a limited operating history. We commenced operations as a Florida corporation in 2004 and subsequently reincorporated in Delaware in 2007. However, we did not begin commercial operations until 2013. Our limited history commercializing MRIdian may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future performance. Any assessment of our profitability or prediction about our future success or viability is subject to significant uncertainty. We have encountered and

Table of Contents

will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early, commercial-stage companies in rapidly evolving industries. If we do not address these risks successfully, our business could be harmed.

If MRIdian does not perform as expected, or if we are unable to satisfy customers’ demands for additional product features, our reputation, business and results of operations will suffer.

Our success depends on the market’s confidence that MRIdian can provide reliable, high-quality MRI-guided radiation therapy. There are only four MRIdian systems being used in commercial practice, and therefore we have very few statistics regarding the efficacy or reliability of MRIdian. We believe that our customers are likely to be particularly sensitive to product defects and errors, including functional downtime that limits the number of patients that can be treated using the system or a failure that is costly to repair. For example, in January 2014, we initiated a correction of the system at Washington University in St. Louis due to a defect we identified in an advanced software feature in the treatment planning system of MRIdian. We promptly updated our software to resolve this defect and notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, of this correction. We cannot assure that similar product defects or other errors will not occur in the future. This could also include the mistreatment of a patient with MRIdian caused by human error on the part of MRIdian’s operators or prescribing physicians or as a result of a machine malfunction. We may be subject to regulatory enforcement action or legal claims arising from any defects or errors that may occur. Any failure of MRIdian to perform as expected could harm our reputation, business and results of operations.

Furthermore, the Cobalt-60 radioactive materials used in MRIdian systems decay over time, which eventually leads to longer treatment times and may have a negative impact on the number of patients a hospital can treat during a day. U.S. regulations require inspection of Cobalt-60 every five years, at which time customers may consider replacing the Cobalt-60 source. This natural decay or a customer’s failure to replace the Cobalt-60 may have a negative impact on MRIdian performance.

In addition, our customers are technologically well informed and at times have specific demands or requests for additional functionality. If we are unable to meet those demands through the development of new features for MRIdian or future products, those new features or products do not function at the level that our customers expect, we are unable to increase throughput as expected or we are unable to obtain regulatory clearance or approval of those new features or products, where applicable, our reputation, business and results of operations could be harmed.

The safety and efficacy of MRIdian for certain uses is not currently supported by long-term clinical data, and MRIdian may therefore be less safe and effective than initially anticipated.

MRIdian has received premarket clearance by the FDA under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA. In the 510(k) clearance process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a device legally on the market, known as a “predicate” device, with respect to intended use, technology and safety and effectiveness, in order to clear the proposed device for marketing. This process is typically shorter and generally requires the submission of less supporting documentation than the FDA’s premarket approval process and does not always require long-term clinical studies. Additionally, to date, we have not been required to complete long-term clinical studies in connection with the sale of MRIdian outside the United States. As a result, we currently lack the breadth of published long-term clinical data supporting the efficacy of MRIdian and the benefits it offers that might have been generated in connection with other approval processes. In addition, because MRIdian has only been on the market since 2013, we have limited complication or patient survival rate data with respect to treatment using the system. If future patient studies or clinical testing do not support our belief that MRIdian offers a more advantageous treatment for a wide variety of cancer types, market acceptance of the system could fail to increase or could decrease and our business could be harmed.

If we choose to, or are required to, conduct additional studies, such studies or experience could reduce the rate of coverage and reimbursement by both public and private third-party payors for procedures that are performed with

MRIdian, slow the market adoption of our product by physicians, significantly reduce our ability to achieve expected revenues and prevent us from becoming profitable. In addition, if future studies and experience indicate that MRIdian causes unexpected or serious complications or other unforeseen negative effects, we could be subject to mandatory product recalls or suspension or withdrawal of FDA clearance, and our reputation with physicians, patients and healthcare providers may suffer.

There have been instances of patients’ severe injury or death due to either operator misuse or system malfunction with other radiation therapy systems. If our redundant safety systems do not operate as we expect, or were misused by operators, MRIdian could severely injure or kill a patient. This could result in lawsuits, fines or damage to our reputation.

We may be delayed or prevented from implementing our long-term sales strategy if we fail to educate clinicians and patients about the benefits of MRIdian.

In order to increase revenue, we must increase awareness of the range of benefits that we believe MRIdian offers to both existing and potential customers, primarily cancer clinicians. An important part of our sales strategy involves educating and training clinicians to utilize the entire functionality of MRIdian. In addition, we must further educate clinicians about the ability of MRIdian to treat a wide range of cancer types effectively and efficiently. If clinicians are not properly educated about the use of MRIdian for radiation therapy, they may be unwilling or unable to take advantage of the full range of functionality that we believe MRIdian offers, which could have a negative impact on MRIdian sales. Clinicians may decide that certain tumors can be adequately treated using traditional radiation therapy systems, notwithstanding the benefits of MRIdian. Cobalt-60 systems have historically had certain limitations which have resulted in an increased use of linacs and a decreased use of Cobalt-60 systems. These historical limitations included imprecise radiation dose applications and an unsharp, wide-beam edge. If we do not adequately educate physicians about the functionality of our Cobalt-60 system to address some of the limitations that have affected Cobalt-60 systems, we may be delayed or prevented from implementing our long-term sales strategy. We must also succeed in educating clinicians about the potential for reimbursement for procedures performed using MRIdian. In addition, we need to increase awareness of MRIdian among potential patients, who are increasingly educated about cancer treatment options and therefore impact adoption of new technologies by clinicians. If our efforts to expand sales of MRIdian in the long-term are not successful, our business and results of operations will be harmed.

We may not be able to gain the support of leading hospitals and key opinion leaders, or to publish the results of our clinical trials in peer-reviewed journals, which may make it difficult to establish MRIdian as a standard of care and achieve market acceptance.

Our strategy includes developing relationships with leading hospitals and key opinion leaders in our industry. If these hospitals and key industry thought leaders determine that MRIdian is not clinically effective or that alternative technologies are more effective, or if we encounter difficulty promoting adoption or establishing MRIdian as a standard of care, our ability to achieve market acceptance of MRIdian could be significantly limited.

We believe that publication of scientific and medical results in peer-reviewed journals and presentation of data at leading conferences are critical to the broad adoption of MRIdian. Publication in leading medical journals is subject to a peer-review process, and peer reviewers may not consider the results of studies involving MRIdian sufficiently novel or worthy of publication.

We have a limited history of manufacturing, assembling and installing MRIdian in commercial quantities and may encounter related problems or delays that could result in lost revenue.

The pre-installation manufacturing processes for MRIdian include sourcing components from various third-party suppliers, subassembly, assembly, system integration and testing. We must manufacture and assemble MRIdian in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost in order to achieve and maintain

 

11


Table of Contents

profitability. We have only a limited history of manufacturing, assembling and installing MRIdian and, as a result, we may have difficulty manufacturing, assembling and installing MRIdian in sufficient quantities in a timely manner. To manage our manufacturing and operations with our suppliers, we forecast anticipated product orders and material requirements to predict our inventory needs up to a year in advance and enter into purchase orders on the basis of these requirements. Our limited manufacturing history may not provide us with sufficient data to accurately predict future component demand and to anticipate our costs effectively.

Further, we have experienced and may in the future experience delays in obtaining components from suppliers and installing our systems at customer sites associated with contractor timing delays, which could impede our ability to manufacture, assemble and install MRIdian on our expected timeline. Alternatively, delays or postponements of scheduled customer installations could lead to excess inventory due to our limited flexibility to postpone or delay component shipments from suppliers. Accordingly, we may encounter difficulties in production of MRIdian, including problems with quality control and assurance, component supply shortages or surpluses, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel and difficulties associated with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. In addition, if we are unable to maintain larger-scale manufacturing capabilities, our ability to generate revenue will also be limited and our reputation could be harmed. If we cannot achieve the required level and quality of production, we may need to make changes in our supply chain or enter into licensing and other arrangements with third parties who possess sufficient manufacturing facilities and capabilities in compliance with regulatory requirements. Even if we outsource necessary production or enter into licensing or other third-party arrangements, the associated cost could reduce our gross margin and harm our financial condition and results of operations.

We have limited experience in marketing and selling MRIdian, and if we are unable to adequately address our customers’ needs, it could negatively impact sales and market acceptance of MRIdian and we may never generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have limited experience in marketing and selling MRIdian. We have only been selling MRIdian since 2013 and our four MRIdian systems installed have only been used for treating patients since early 2014. In addition, MRIdian is a new technology in the radiation therapy systems sector and our future sales will largely depend on our ability to increase our marketing efforts and adequately address our customers’ needs. We believe it is necessary to maintain a sales force that includes sales representatives with specific technical backgrounds that can support our customers’ needs. We will also need to attract and develop sales and marketing personnel with industry expertise. Competition for such employees is intense and we may not be able to attract and retain sufficient personnel to maintain an effective sales and marketing force. If we are unable to adequately address our customers’ needs, it could negatively impact sales and market acceptance of MRIdian and we may never generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

The long sales cycle and low unit volume sales of MRIdian, as well as other factors, may contribute to substantial fluctuations in our operating results and stock price and make it difficult to compare our results of operations to prior periods and predict future financial results.

Because of the relatively small number of systems we expect to install in any period, each installation of a MRIdian will represent a significant percentage of our revenue for a particular period. Additionally, customer site construction, certificate of need and additional zoning and licensing permits are often required in connection with the sale of a MRIdian, any of which may further delay the installation process. When we are responsible for installing a system, we only recognize revenue from the sale of a MRIdian after the system has been installed and accepted by the customer. When a qualified third party is responsible for the installation, we only recognize revenue when title is transferred. Therefore, if we do not install a MRIdian or transfer title when anticipated, our operating results will vary significantly from our expectations. We have had experiences with customers postponing installation of MRIdian systems due to delays in facility build-outs, which are often lengthy and costly processes for our existing and potential customers. In addition, if our customers delay or cancel purchases, we may be required to modify or terminate contractual arrangements with our suppliers, which may result in the

 

12

loss of deposits. Due to future fluctuations in revenue and costs, as well as other potential fluctuations, you should not rely upon our operating results in any particular period as an indication of future performance. In addition to the other risks described herein, the following factors may also contribute to these fluctuations:

 

    timing of when we are able to recognize revenue associated with sales of MRIdian;

 

    actions relating to regulatory matters, including regulatory requirements in some states for a certificate of need prior to the installation of a MRIdian;

 

    delays in shipment due to, for example, unanticipated construction delays at customer locations where MRIdian is to be installed, labor disturbances or natural disasters;

 

    delays in our manufacturing processes or unexpected manufacturing difficulties;

 

    timing of the announcements of contract executions or other customer and commercial developments;

 

    timing of the announcement, introduction and delivery of new products or product features by us and by our competitors;

 

    timing and level of expenditures associated with expansion of sales and marketing activities and our overall operations;

 

    fluctuations in our gross margins and the factors that contribute to such fluctuations, as described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” elsewhere in this prospectus;

 

    our ability to effectively execute on our strategic and operating plans;

 

    the extent to which MRIdian gains market acceptance and the timing of customer demand for MRIdian;

 

    our ability to protect our proprietary rights and defend against third-party challenges;

 

    disruptions in the supply or changes in the costs of raw materials, labor, product components or transportation services; and

 

    changes in third-party coverage and reimbursement, government regulation or in a customer’s ability to obtain financing.

These factors are difficult to forecast and may contribute to fluctuations in our reported revenue and results of operations and variation from our expectations, particularly during the periods in which our sales volume is low. Any such fluctuations in our financial results may cause volatility in our stock price.

Each MRIdian is a major capital equipment item and is subject to a lengthy sales cycle. The time from initial customer contact to execution of a contract can take 18 to 24 months or more. Following execution of a contract, it generally takes nine to 12 months for a customer to customize an existing facility or construct a new vault, which is inclusive of the time from when a customer places the order to when the system is delivered. During this time, facilities support and transitioning, as well as permitting, are typically required, which can take several months. The time required to customize an existing facility, including modifications of a standard vault to accommodate an MRI, is currently three months. If a customer does not have an existing vault available, it may take longer to construct a new vault. Upon the commencement of installation at a customer’s facility, it typically takes two to three months to complete the installation and on-site testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test procedures. If a small number of customers defer installation of a MRIdian for even a short period, recognition of a significant amount of revenue may be deferred to a subsequent period. Because our operating costs are relatively fixed, our inability to recognize revenue in a particular period may impact our profitability in that period. As a result, the inability to recognize revenue in a particular period may make it difficult to compare our operating results with prior periods. The price of a MRIdian requires a portion of our target customers to obtain outside financing before committing to purchase a MRIdian system. Such financing may be difficult for our customers to obtain in any given period, if at all. The requirement of site-specific

 

13


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

modifications or construction may also delay adoption or overall demand. In addition, while we believe that our backlog of orders provides a better measure at any particular point in time of the long-term performance prospects of our business than our operating results for a particular period, investors may attribute significant weight to our operating results for a particular period, which may be volatile and as a result cause fluctuations in our stock price.

A large portion of our revenue in any given reporting period will be derived from a small number of contracts.

Given a significant portion of the purchase price for MRIdian will generally be recognized as revenue in a single reporting period, we expect a small number of contracts in any given reporting period to account for a substantial part of our revenue in any such period, and we expect this trend to continue. Any decrease in revenue from these contracts could harm our operating results. Accordingly, our revenue and results of operations may vary from period to period. We are also subject to credit risk associated with the concentration of our accounts receivable from our customers. If one or more of our customers at any given time were either to terminate their contracts with us, cease doing business with us or to fail to pay us on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

The payment structure we use in our customer arrangements may lead to fluctuations in operating cash flows in a given period.

While our customers typically provide a deposit upon entering into a sales contract with us, the substantial majority of the payment owed for a MRIdian is not due until the time of shipment of a MRIdian or following final acceptance by the customer upon installation. If we miss targeted shipments or our customers do not actively work towards completing installation, our receipt of payments and our operating cash flows could be impacted. In addition, if customers do not adhere to our payments terms, our operating cash flows could be impacted in any given period. Due to these fluctuations in operating cash flows and other potential fluctuations, you should not rely upon our operating results in any particular period as an indication of future performance.

Amounts included in backlog may not result in actual revenue and are an uncertain indicator of our future earnings.

We define backlog as the accumulation of all orders for which revenue has not been recognized and we consider valid. The determination of backlog includes, among other factors, our subjective judgment about the likelihood of an order becoming revenue and the regulatory approval required in the customer’s jurisdiction, if any. Our judgments in this area have been, and in the future may be, incorrect and we cannot assure you that, for any order included in backlog, we will recognize revenue with respect to such order. In addition, orders can be delayed for a number of reasons, many of which are beyond our control, including supplier delays which may cause delays in our manufacturing process, customer delays in commencing or completing construction of its facility, delays in obtaining zoning or other approvals and delays in obtaining financing. We may not be aware of these delays affecting our suppliers and customers and as a result may not consider them when evaluating the contemporaneous effect on backlog. Moreover, orders generally do not have firm dates by when a customer must take delivery, which could allow a customer to delay the order without cancelling the contract. Further, our backlog could be reduced due to cancellation of orders by customers. Should a cancellation occur, our backlog and anticipated revenue would be reduced unless we were able to replace such order. Reported reductions in our backlog could negatively impact our future results of operations or the price of our common stock.

We evaluate our backlog at least quarterly to determine if the orders continue to meet our criteria for inclusion in backlog. Our criteria include an outstanding and effective written agreement for the delivery of a MRIdian signed by customers, receipt of a minimum customer deposit or a letter of credit, any changes in customer or distributor plans or financial conditions, the customer’s or distributor’s continued intent and ability to fulfill the order contract, changes to regulatory requirements, the status of regulatory approval required in the customer’s

 

14


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

jurisdiction, if any, or reasons for cancellation of order contracts. We may adjust our reported backlog as a result of these factors and due to changes in our judgment about the timing of shipment of a system for particular projects or the status of our regulatory approval in a particular jurisdiction, where applicable. Projects we once categorized as included within our backlog may be removed if we determine, based on the aforementioned criteria, that a particular order or orders no longer constitute valid backlog. In addition, one or more of our contracts have in the past and may in the future contribute to a material portion of our backlog in any one year. Because revenue will not be recognized until we have fulfilled our obligations to a customer, there may be a significant amount of time from signing a contract with a customer or shipping a system and revenue recognition. We cannot assure you that our backlog will result in revenue on a timely basis or at all, or that any cancelled contracts will be replaced.

Our ability to achieve profitability depends substantially on increasing our gross margins by reducing costs of MRIdian and improving our economies of scale, which we may not be able to achieve.

We are not, and never have been, profitable. The MRIdian purchase contracts we have entered into to date have been at a range of selling prices. Generally, earlier contracts have been at lower prices and more recent contracts have been at higher prices. Our earlier contracts resulted in negative gross margins. In order to become profitable we will need to be able to enter into contracts at increased prices. Our intention is to enter into purchase contracts for MRIdian systems with selling prices that are increasingly closer to our list price of a MRIdian. Our ability to enter into contracts at higher selling prices depends on a number of factors including:

 

    our ability to achieve commercial market acceptance for our system;

 

    the pricing of competitors’ cancer therapy systems;

 

    availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement by commercial and government payors; and

 

    our ability to manufacture and install our systems in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We bear the risk of warranty claims on all products we supply, including equipment and component parts manufactured by third parties. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in claiming recovery under any warranty or indemnity provided to us by our suppliers or vendors in the event of a successful warranty claim against us by a customer or that any recovery from such vendor or supplier would be adequate. In addition, warranty claims brought by our customers related to third-party components may arise after our ability to bring corresponding warranty claims against such suppliers expires, which could result in additional costs to us. There is a risk that warranty claims made against us will exceed our warranty reserve and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

Our customer contracts provide that our customers commit to purchase a MRIdian for a fixed price, and a MRIdian will generally not be delivered for 11 to 15 months. In some circumstances, delivery can be postponed several months due to customer delays related to construction, vault preparation or concurrent facility expansion, and the cost of product supplies may increase significantly in the intervening time period. In addition, inflation may generally reduce the real value of the purchase price payable upon the achievement of future progress payment milestones. Either of these occurrences could cause our gross margins to decline or cause us to lose money on the sale of a MRIdian.

Moreover, our gross margins may decline in a given period due in part to significant replacement rates for components, resulting in increased warranty expense, negative profit margins on service contracts and customer dissatisfaction. If we are unable to reduce our expenses and improve or maintain quality and reliability, our profitability may be negatively impacted. Additionally, we may face increased demands for compensation from customers who are not satisfied with the quality and reliability of MRIdian, which could increase our service costs or require us to issue credits against future service payments and negatively impact future product sales. For example, we may have to extend a warranty period due to our failure to meet up-time requirements. Even if we are able to implement cost reduction and quality improvement efforts successfully, our service operations may

remain unprofitable given the relatively small size and geographic dispersion of our installed base, which prevents us from achieving significant economies of scale for the provision of services. If we are unable to continue to sell MRIdian at increasingly higher prices that result in higher gross margins, we may never become profitable.

We may not be able to develop new products or enhance the capabilities of MRIdian to keep pace with our industry’s rapidly changing technology and customer requirements.

Our industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards. Our business prospects depend on our ability to develop new products and applications for our technology in new markets that develop as a result of technological and scientific advances, while improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of MRIdian. New technologies, techniques or products could emerge that might offer better combinations of price and performance than MRIdian systems. The market for radiation therapy treatment products is characterized by rapid innovation and advancement in technology. It is important that we anticipate changes in technology and market demand, as well as physician, hospital and healthcare provider practices to successfully develop, obtain clearance or approval, if required, and successfully introduce new, enhanced and competitive technologies to meet our prospective customers’ needs on a timely and cost-effective basis. Nevertheless, we must carefully manage our introduction of new products. If potential customers believe that such products will offer enhanced features or be sold for a more attractive price, they may delay purchases until such products are available. We may also have excess or obsolete inventory as we transition to new products, and we have no experience in managing product transitions. If we do not successfully innovate and introduce new technology into our anticipated product lines or effectively manage the transitions of our technology to new product offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

We face competition from numerous companies, many of whom have greater resources than we do or offer alternative technologies at lower prices than our MRIdian systems, which may make it more difficult for us to achieve significant market penetration and profitability.

The market for radiation therapy equipment is characterized by intense competition and pricing pressure. In particular, we compete with a number of existing therapy equipment companies, including Elekta AB, Varian Medical Systems, Inc. and Accuray Incorporated. Many of these competitors are large, well-capitalized companies with significantly greater market share and resources than we have. As a result, these companies may be better positioned than we are to spend more aggressively on marketing, sales, intellectual property and other product initiatives and research and development activities. In addition, we may compete with certain MRI-linear accelerator research projects that are currently in development and may be commercialized, including projects by the University of Alberta’s Cross Cancer Institute and a partnership of the University of Sydney, Ingham Institute and the University of Queensland.

Existing technologies may offer certain advantages compared to the MRI technology used by our MRidian system. For example, computed tomography, or CT, is known to hold certain potential advantages over MRI technology for use in radiation therapy. Diagnostic CT is currently the most widely adopted imaging modality for treatment planning, and can be used to directly measure the electron density of patient tissues, which enables more accurate dose computation. In addition, CT imaging provides superior imaging of bones and boney anatomy than MRI, which is advantageous when imaging those structures for planning and alignment for treatment. Finally, CT is a less expensive technology than MRI and might be preferred by customers seeking a lower cost solution.

Our current competitors or other potential competitors may develop new products for the treatment of cancer at any time. In addition, competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. If we are unable to develop products that compete effectively against the products of existing or future competitors, our future revenue could be

negatively impacted. Some of our competitors may compete by changing their pricing model or by lowering the price of their therapy systems. If these competitors’ pricing techniques are effective, it could result in downward pressure on the price of all therapy systems. If we are unable to maintain or increase our selling prices in the face of competition, we may not improve our gross margins.

In addition to the competition that we face from technologies performing similar functions to MRIdian, competition also exists for the limited capital expenditure budgets of our customers. A potential purchaser may be forced to choose between two items of capital equipment. Our ability to compete may also be negatively impacted when purchase decisions are based largely upon price, because MRIdian is a premium-priced system relative to other capital expenditures and alternative radiation therapy technologies. In certain circumstances, a purchaser may decide that an alternative radiation therapy system priced below MRIdian may be sufficient for its patient population given the relative upfront cost savings. In addition to the cost of the MRIdian system, U.S. customers are required to inspect the Cobalt-60 every five years, and our customers may incur significant costs associated with the inspection, replacement and disposal of Cobalt-60.

Negative press regarding MRI-guided radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer could harm our business.

The comparative efficacy and overall benefits of MRI-guided radiation therapy are not yet well understood, particularly with respect to certain types of cancer. These types of reports could negatively impact the market’s acceptance of MRI-guided radiation therapy, and therefore our ability to generate revenue could be negatively impacted.

We may acquire other businesses, form joint ventures or make investments in other companies or technologies that could negatively affect our operating results, dilute our stockholders’ ownership, increase our debt or cause us to incur significant expense.

We may pursue acquisitions of businesses and assets. We also may pursue strategic alliances and joint ventures that leverage our proprietary technology and industry experience to expand our offerings or distribution. We have no experience with acquiring other companies and limited experience with forming strategic partnerships. We may not be able to find suitable partners or acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete such transactions on favorable terms, if at all. If we make any acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions also could result in the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or future write-offs of intangible assets or goodwill, any of which could have a negative impact on our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Integration of an acquired company also may disrupt ongoing operations and require management resources that we would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. We may experience losses related to investments in other companies, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, strategic alliance or joint venture.

Foreign acquisitions involve unique risks in addition to those mentioned above, including those related to integration of operations across different cultures and languages, currency risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries.

To finance any acquisitions or joint ventures, we may choose to issue shares of common stock as consideration, which could dilute the ownership of our stockholders. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. If the price of our common stock is low or volatile, we may not be able to acquire other companies or fund a joint venture project using our stock as consideration .

Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties

We rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers and, in some cases, sole suppliers, for the majority of our components, subassemblies and materials and may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers.

We rely on several sole suppliers, including Japan Superconductor Technology, Inc., Siemens AG, Best Theratronics Ltd., Manufacturing Sciences Corporation, Tesla Engineering Limited, PEKO Precision Products, Inc., Euromechanics GmbH and Quality Electrodynamics, LLC, for certain components of MRIdian. These sole suppliers, and any of our other suppliers, may be unwilling or unable to supply components of MRIdian to us reliably and at the levels we anticipate or are required by the market. For us to be successful, our suppliers must be able to provide us with products and components in substantial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, in accordance with agreed upon specifications, at acceptable costs and on a timely basis. An interruption in our commercial operations could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing these components, and if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. Any such interruption could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are required to transition to new third-party suppliers for certain components of MRIdian, we believe that there are only a few other manufacturers that are currently capable of supplying the necessary components. In addition, the use of components or materials furnished by these alternative suppliers could require us to alter our operations. Furthermore, if we are required to change the manufacturer of a critical component of MRIdian, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality and applicable regulatory requirements, which could further impede our ability to manufacture MRIdian in a timely manner. We currently do not carry inventory for components for more than two or three systems or have open purchase orders for components for more than four or six systems at any given time. Transitioning to a new supplier could be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our operations and product delivery, could affect the performance specifications of MRIdian or could require that we modify the design of MRIdian. If the change in manufacturer results in a significant change to MRIdian, a new 510(k) clearance from the FDA or similar international regulatory authorization may be necessary, which could cause substantial delays. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our ability to meet the demand for MRIdian in a timely manner or cost-effectively.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure alternative equipment and materials and utilize such equipment and materials without experiencing interruptions in our workflow. If we should encounter delays or difficulties in securing, reconfiguring or revalidating the equipment and components we require for MRIdian, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

We depend on third-party distributors to market and distribute MRIdian in international markets.

A significant portion of our backlog is composed of international sales, and we expect a significant amount of our revenue to come from international sales. We depend on a number of distributors for sales in these international markets, and we have not to date completed the installation of any MRIdian systems internationally. We cannot control the efforts and resources our third-party distributors will devote to marketing MRIdian. Our distributors may not be able to successfully market and sell MRIdian and may not devote sufficient time and resources to support the marketing and selling efforts that enable the product to develop, achieve or sustain market acceptance. In some jurisdictions, we rely on our distributors to manage the regulatory process, and we are dependent on their ability to do so effectively. In addition, if a dispute arises with a distributor or if a distributor is terminated by us or goes out of business, it may take time to locate an alternative distributor, to seek appropriate regulatory approvals and to train such distributor’s personnel to market MRIdian, and our ability to sell and service MRIdian in the region formerly serviced by such terminated distributor could be harmed. Any of our distributors could become insolvent or otherwise become unable to pay amounts owed to us when due. Any of these factors could reduce our revenue from affected international markets, increase our costs in those markets or damage our reputation. In addition, if we are unable to attract additional international distributors, our international revenue may not grow.

Failures by our third-party distributors to timely deliver or properly install MRIdian could harm our reputation.

We rely on arrangements with third-party distributors for sales and installation of MRIdian in international markets. To date, our third-party distributors have not completed the installation of any MRIdian systems internationally. As a result of our reliance on third-party distributors, we may be subject to disruptions and increased costs due to factors beyond our control, including labor strikes, third-party error and other issues. If the services of any of these distributors become unsatisfactory, including the failure of such distributors to properly install MRIdian, we may experience delays in meeting our customers’ product demands and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to deliver, install or service products in a timely manner may damage our reputation and could cause us to lose current or potential customers.

We rely on third parties to store our inventory and to perform spare parts shipping and other logistics functions on our behalf. A failure or disruption with our logistics providers could harm our business.

Customer service is a critical element of our sales strategy. Third-party logistics providers store most of our spare parts inventory in depots around the world and perform a significant portion of our spare parts logistics and shipping activities. If any of our logistics providers suffers an interruption in its business or experiences delays, disruptions or quality control problems in its operations or we have to change and qualify alternative logistics providers for our spare parts, shipments of spare parts to our customers may be delayed and our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively harmed.

If third-party payors do not provide coverage and adequate reimbursement to our customers, it could negatively impact sales of MRIdian.

In the United States, hospitals and other healthcare providers who purchase MRIdian generally rely on third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the costs and fees associated with the treatments performed with our system, including the cost of MRIdian. Accordingly, sales of MRIdian depend, in part, on whether coverage and adequate reimbursement for standard planning methodologies are available to our customers from third-party payors, such as government healthcare insurance programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs, private insurance plans, health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. In general, third-party payors in the United States have become increasingly cost-conscious, which has limited coverage for, and reimbursement of, certain procedures such as MRI-guided radiation therapy. Third-party payors have also increased utilization controls related to the use of products such as ours by healthcare providers.

Furthermore, there is no uniform policy on coverage and reimbursement for MRI-guided radiation therapy among third-party payors. Payors continue to review their coverage policies carefully for existing and new therapies and can, without notice, deny coverage for treatments that include the use of MRIdian.

The Medicare program is increasingly used as a model for how private payors and other governmental payors develop their coverage and reimbursement policies for medical services and procedures. Medicare coverage of advanced and conventional radiation therapies using MRIdian currently varies depending upon the geographic location in which the services are provided. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, has not adopted national coverage determination for such therapies that would determine coverage nationally. In the absence of such a national coverage determination, Medicare Administrative Contractors, or MACs, with jurisdiction over specific geographic regions have the discretion to determine whether and when the use of MRI-guided radiation therapy will be considered medically necessary and covered in their respective regions. A number of MACs have adopted or proposed local coverage determinations covering MRI-guided radiation therapy. However, these local coverage determinations do not ensure that coverage will be available for MRI-guided radiation therapy for all types of cancer as the coverage policies may limit coverage to only certain types of cancer.

Even if MRI-guided radiation therapy is covered and reimbursed by third-party payors, adverse changes in payors’ coverage and reimbursement policies that affect MRIdian could harm our ability to market and sell MRIdian. We cannot be sure that third-party payors will reimburse our customers for procedures using MRIdian at a level that will enable us to achieve or maintain adequate sales and price levels for MRIdian. Without coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, the market for MRIdian may be limited.

Third-party payors regularly update reimbursement amounts and also, from time to time, revise the methodologies used to determine reimbursement amounts. This includes annual updates to payments to physicians, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers for the radiation treatments performed with MRIdian. Because the cost of MRIdian generally is recovered by the healthcare provider as part of the payment for performing the treatment and not separately reimbursed, these updates could directly impact the demand for MRIdian. An example of payment updates is the Medicare program’s updates to hospital and physician payments, which are done on an annual basis using a prescribed statutory formula.

Under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, or MPFS, rule for 2015, in the past, when the application of the formula resulted in lower payment, Congress has passed interim legislation to prevent the reductions. In April 2015, however, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, or MACRA, was signed into law, which repealed and replaced the statutory formula for Medicare payment adjustments to physicians. MACRA provides a permanent end to the annual interim legislative updates that had previously been necessary to delay or prevent significant reductions to payments under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. MACRA extended existing payment rates through June 30, 2015, with a 0.5% update for July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, and for each calendar year through 2019, after which there will be a 0% annual update each year through 2025. In addition, MACRA requires the establishment of the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, beginning in 2019, under which physicians may receive performance-based payment incentives or payment reductions based on their performance with respect to clinical quality, resource use, clinical improvement activities and meaningful use of electronic health records. MACRA also requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, beginning in 2019, to provide incentive payments for physicians and other eligible professionals that participate in alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations, that emphasize quality and value over the traditional volume-based fee-for-service model. It is unclear what impact, if any, MACRA will have on our business and operating results, but any resulting decrease in payment may result in reduced demand for our services.

With respect to hospital payments, in its final rule for the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System, or HOPPS, effective January 1, 2015, CMS will implement changes in the coding system to simplify the billing of conventional radiation therapy performed in the hospital outpatient setting into three levels—simple, intermediate or complex—and to simplify the billing of intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, into two levels, simple or complex. Simple IMRT treatments (e.g., breast and prostate) may be paid at a lower rate than complex IMRT, which includes all other disease sites. We believe that MRIdian will tend to be used for a higher proportion of complex treatments than other radiation therapy systems, and accordingly, we believe that the new HOPPS rules will have a minimal impact on our customers.

On October 30, 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the final rule for 2016 Medicare payment rates for hospital outpatient services, physicians and services performed in the freestanding center setting. The final rule included certain proposals that impact reimbursement rates for radiation therapy services, which have resulted in small changes in reimbursement in the freestanding center setting. These coding changes will be implemented in 2016 and do not appear to be significant for services delivered with our products.

Any significant cuts in reimbursement rates or changes in reimbursement methodology or administration for MRI-guided radiation therapy, or concerns or proposals regarding further cuts or changes in methodology or administration, could further increase uncertainty, influence our customers’ decisions, reduce demand for MRIdian, cause customers to cancel orders and impact our revenue and harm our business.

Foreign governments also have their own healthcare reimbursement systems, which vary significantly by country and region, and we cannot be sure that adequate reimbursement will be made available with respect to MRIdian under any foreign reimbursement system.

Our employees, consultants and commercial partners may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including insider trading and non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements.

We are exposed to the risk that our employees, consultants and commercial partners may engage in fraudulent or illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to us that violates the regulations of the FDA and non-U.S. regulators, including those laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such regulators, manufacturing standards, healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the United States and abroad or laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry, including the sale of medical devices, are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by our employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could result in the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial costs, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements

We may need to raise additional capital to fund our existing commercial operations, develop and commercialize new features for MRIdian and new products and expand our operations.

Based on our current business plan, we believe net proceeds from the Private Placement, together with our current cash and cash equivalents, cash receipts from sales of MRIdian systems and additional available draw down from the CRG Term Loan, will enable us to conduct our planned operations for at least the next 12 months. The additional available draw down from the CRG Term Loan is available at our option on or before June 26, 2016, upon the occurrence of either (i) an initial public offering of our common stock on a nationally recognized securities exchange that raises a minimum of $40.0 million in net cash proceeds with a minimum of $120.0 million post-money valuation, or Qualifying IPO, or (ii) the achievement of a minimum of $25.0 million gross revenue from the sales of the MRIdian system during any consecutive 12 months before March 31, 2016. If our available cash balances, net proceeds from the Private Placement and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements including because of lower demand for MRIdian as a result of lower than currently expected rates of reimbursement from commercial third-party payors and government payors or due to other risks described herein, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into an additional credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing.

We may consider raising additional capital in the future to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons, including to:

 

    increase our sales and marketing efforts to increase market adoption of MRIdian and address competitive developments;

 

21


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
    provide for supply and inventory costs associated with plans to accommodate potential increases in demand for MRIdian systems;

 

    fund development and marketing efforts of any future products or additional features to then-current products;

 

    acquire, license or invest in new technologies;

 

    acquire or invest in complementary businesses or assets; and

 

    finance capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

    our ability to achieve revenue growth and improve gross margins;

 

    our rate of progress in establishing coverage and reimbursement arrangements with domestic and international commercial third-party payors and government payors;

 

    the cost of expanding our operations and offerings, including our sales and marketing efforts;

 

    our rate of progress in, and cost of the sales and marketing activities associated with, establishing adoption of MRIdian;

 

    the cost of research and development activities;

 

    the effect of competing technological and market developments;

 

    costs related to international expansion; and

 

    the potential cost of and delays in product development as a result of any regulatory oversight applicable to MRIdian.

The various ways we could raise additional capital carry potential risks. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our stockholders could result. Any equity securities issued also could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, those debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to certain components contained within MRIdian, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management expects to devote substantial time to public company compliance programs.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses due to our compliance with regulations and disclosure obligations applicable to us, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the OTC Markets. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact, in ways we cannot currently anticipate, the manner in which we operate our business. Our management and other personnel will devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance programs and monitoring of public company reporting obligations and as a result of the new corporate governance and executive compensation related rules, regulations and guidelines prompted by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and further regulations and disclosure obligations expected in the future, we will likely need to devote additional time and costs to comply with such compliance programs and rules. These rules and regulations will cause us to incur significant legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, including implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring new accounting or internal audit staff. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate and weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls could negatively impact the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we may be required to include in our periodic reports we will file with the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in a restatement of our prior period financial statements. In the event that we are not able to demonstrate compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results and the price of our common stock could decline. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, our common stock may not be able to remain eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets or meet the eligibility requirements for the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ.

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and are therefore not yet required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. As a public company, we will be required to comply with certain of these rules, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting commencing with our second annual report. We are just beginning the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and processing documentation needed to comply with such requirements. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act depending on whether we choose to rely on certain exemptions set forth in the JOBS Act. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could harm our business.

Compliance with recently adopted rules of the SEC relating to “conflict minerals” may require us and our suppliers to incur substantial expense and may result in disclosure by us that certain minerals used in products we manufacture or contract to manufacture are not “DRC conflict free.”

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act required the SEC to promulgate rules requiring disclosure by a public company of any “conflict minerals” (tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold) necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the public company. The SEC adopted final rules in 2012 that took effect at the end of January 2013. Because we manufacture or contract to manufacture a product that contains tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold, we will be required under these rules to determine whether those minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of MRIdian and, if so, conduct a country of origin inquiry with respect to all such minerals. If any such minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC, or any of its adjoining countries, or covered countries, then we must

 

23


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

conduct diligence on the source and chain of custody of those conflict minerals to determine if they originated in one of the covered countries and, if so, whether they financed or benefited armed groups in the covered countries. Disclosures relating to the products that may contain conflict minerals, the country of origin of those minerals and whether they are “DRC conflict free” must be provided in a Form SD (and accompanying conflict minerals report, if required, to disclose the diligence undertaken by us in sourcing the minerals and our conclusions relating to such diligence). If we are required to submit a conflict minerals report, after 2015 that report must be audited by an independent auditor pursuant to existing government auditing standards. Compliance with this new disclosure rule may be very time-consuming for management and our supply chain personnel (as well as time-consuming for our suppliers) and could involve the expenditure of significant amounts of money by us and them. Disclosures, mandated by this new rule, which can be perceived by the market to be “negative,” may cause customers to refuse to purchase MRIdian. We cannot assure you that the cost of compliance with the rule will not harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our loan and security agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P., Capital Royalty Partners II -  Parallel Fund “A” L.P., Capital Royalty Partners II (Cayman) L.P. and Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P., or together, CRG, contains operating and financial covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities.

At September 30, 2015, we had $30 million in outstanding debt to CRG. Borrowings under our loan and security agreement with CRG are secured by substantially all of our personal property, including our intellectual property. Our loan and security agreement restricts our ability to, among other things:

 

    dispose of or sell our assets;

 

    make material changes in our business;

 

    merge with or acquire other entities or assets;

 

    incur additional indebtedness;

 

    create liens on our assets;

 

    pay dividends;

 

    make investments; and

 

    pay off subordinated indebtedness.

Our loan and security agreement also requires that we comply with certain financial covenants. We are required to:

 

    hold cash and certain cash equivalents, in accounts subject to control agreements in favor of CRG, in an amount greater than or equal to the greater of (i) $2 million, increasing to $5 million upon the occurrence of a qualifying IPO, and (ii) the minimum cash balance required by any lender or lenders providing us with accounts receivable or inventory financing, as permitted by the loan and security agreement; and

 

    have revenue from the sales, marketing and distribution of MRIdian systems and related services in an amount of at least $45 million for the twenty-four month period beginning January 1, 2015, with gradual step-ups to at least $120 million for the twenty-four month period beginning January 1, 2019.

If we fail to meet the minimum required revenue for any twenty-four month period, within 90 days of the end of such period we are permitted to (i) issue additional capital stock of the company in exchange for cash or (ii) borrow additional subordinated debt, in each case, in amount equal to (x) two multiplied by (y) the minimum required revenue for the applicable twenty-four month period less the company’s actual revenue over the relevant testing period for such minimum required revenue in order to make up the shortfall.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our loan and security agreement, as well as any future financing agreements into which we may enter, may restrict our ability to finance our operations and engage in, expand or otherwise pursue our business activities and strategies. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and future breaches of any of these covenants could result in a default under our loan and security agreement. If not waived, future defaults could cause all of the outstanding indebtedness under our loan and security agreement to become immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.

If we do not have or are unable to generate sufficient cash available to repay our debt obligations when they become due and payable, either upon maturity or in the event of a default, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, which may negatively impact our ability to operate and continue our business as a going concern.

Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

At December 31, 2014, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, of $125.3 million, which begin to expire in the year ended December 31, 2024, and state NOLs of approximately $1.5 million, which begin to expire in the year ended December 31, 2019. We also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. These credits expire at various dates through the year ending December 31, 2024. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. We believe we have experienced at least one ownership change in the past. We are currently analyzing the tax impacts of such ownership change on our federal NOLs and credit carryforwards. Future changes in our stock ownership, including this or future offerings, as well as other changes that may be outside of our control, could result in additional ownership changes under Section 382 of the Code. Our NOLs may also be limited under similar provisions of state law. We have recorded a full valuation allowance related to our NOLs and other deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the future tax benefits of such assets.

We face risks related to the current global economic environment, which could delay or prevent our customers from obtaining financing to purchase MRIdian and implement the required facilities, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The state of the global economy continues to be uncertain. The current global economic conditions and uncertain credit markets and concerns regarding the availability of credit pose a risk that could impact customer demand for MRIdian, as well as our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors, including financial institutions. If the current global economic environment deteriorates, our business could be negatively affected.

Risks Related to Administrative, Organizational and Commercial Operations and Growth

We may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.

We anticipate growth in our business operations. This future growth could create a strain on our organizational, administrative and operational infrastructure, including manufacturing operations, quality control, technical support and customer service, sales force management and general and financial administration. We may not be able to maintain the quality of or installation timelines of MRIdian or satisfy customer demand as it grows. Our ability to manage our growth properly will require us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, as well as our reporting systems and procedures. We may implement new enterprise software systems in a number of areas affecting a broad range of business processes and functional areas. The time and resources required to implement these new systems is uncertain and failure to complete this in a timely and efficient manner could harm our business.

If we are unable to support demand for MRIdian and our future products, including ensuring that we have adequate resources to meet increased demand, or we are unable to successfully manage the evolution of our MRI-guided radiation technology, our business could be harmed.

As our commercial operations and sales volume grow, we will need to continue to increase our workflow capacity for manufacturing, customer service, billing and general process improvements and expand our internal quality assurance program, among other things. We will also need to purchase additional equipment, some of which can take several months or more to procure, set up and validate, and increase our manufacturing, maintenance, software and computing capacity to meet increased demand. We cannot assure you that any of these increases in scale, expansion of personnel, purchase of equipment or process enhancements will be successfully implemented.

The loss of our President and Chief Executive Officer or Chief Scientific Officer or our inability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists and salespeople could negatively impact our business.

Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chris A. Raanes, and our Chief Scientific Officer and founder, James F. Dempsey, Ph.D. The individual and collective efforts of these employees will be important as we continue to develop MRIdian and as we expand our commercial activities. The loss or incapacity of existing members of our executive management team could negatively impact our operations if we experience difficulties in hiring qualified successors. Our executive officers have employment agreements; however, the existence of an employment agreement does not guarantee the retention of the executive officer for any period of time.

Our commercial, manufacturing and research and development programs and operations depend on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled engineers, scientists and technicians. We may not be able to attract or retain qualified managers, engineers, scientists and technicians in the future due to the competition for qualified personnel among medical device businesses, particularly in California and Ohio. We also face competition from universities and public and private research institutions in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel. Recruiting and retention difficulties can limit our ability to support our commercial, manufacturing and research and development programs. All of our employees are at-will, which means that either we or the employee may terminate his or her employment at any time.

If we were sued for product liability or professional liability, we could face substantial liabilities that exceed our resources.

The marketing, sale and use of MRIdian could lead to the filing of product liability claims were someone to allege that MRIdian did not effectively treat the conditions its users were intending to target, caused other serious medical conditions or otherwise failed to perform as designed. We may also be subject to liability for errors in, a misunderstanding of or inappropriate reliance upon the information we provide in the ordinary course of our business activities, such as customer support or operating instructions. A product liability claim could result in substantial damages and be costly and time-consuming for us to defend.

We maintain product liability insurance in the amount of $9.0 million per occurrence and $9.0 million in the aggregate, but this insurance may not fully protect us from the financial impact of defending against product liability claims. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could increase our insurance rates or prevent us from securing insurance coverage in the future. Additionally, any product liability lawsuit could lead to regulatory investigations, product recalls or withdrawals, damage our reputation or cause current vendors, suppliers and customers to terminate existing agreements and potential customers and partners to seek other suppliers of radiation therapy systems, any of which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Sanctions against Russia, and Russia’s response to those sanctions, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to Russia’s recent military intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, the United States and the European Union, or EU, have imposed sanctions on certain individuals and one financial institution in Russia and have proposed the use of broader economic sanctions. In response, Russia has imposed entry bans on certain U.S. lawmakers and officials. We have engaged a third-party distributor and are currently in discussions with potential customers in Russia. If the United States or the EU were to impose sanctions on Russian businesses, or if Russia were to take retaliatory action against U.S. companies operating in Russia, our sales and marketing efforts in Russia could be harmed.

We face risks associated with our international business.

In addition to our marketing and sales of MRIdian in the United States, we also market MRIdian in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim, with contracts signed with customers and distributors in Taiwan, Turkey, Korea, China, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Japan, Italy and Russia. Our international business operations are subject to a variety of risks, including:

 

    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign and geographically dispersed operations;

 

    having to comply with various U.S. and international laws, including export control laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or the FCPA, and anti-money laundering laws;

 

    differing regulatory requirements for obtaining clearances or approvals to market MRIdian;

 

    changes in uncertainties relating to foreign rules and regulations that may impact our ability to sell MRIdian, perform services or repatriate profits to the United States;

 

    tariffs, export or import restrictions, restrictions on remittances abroad, imposition of duties or taxes that limit our ability to move MRIdian out of these countries or interfere with the import of essential materials into these countries;

 

    limitations on our ability to enter into cost-effective arrangements with distributors of MRIdian, or at all;

 

    fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

    imposition of limitations on production, sale or export of MRI-guided radiation therapy systems in foreign countries;

 

    imposition of limitations on or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries or joint ventures;

 

    differing multiple payor reimbursement regimes, government payors or patient self-pay systems;

 

    imposition of differing labor laws and standards;

 

    economic, political or social instability in foreign countries and regions;

 

    an inability, or reduced ability, to protect our intellectual property, including any effect of compulsory licensing imposed by government action; and

 

    availability of government subsidies or other incentives that benefit competitors in their local markets that are not available to us.

We expect that we will begin expanding into other target markets; however, we cannot assure you that our expansion plans will be realized, or if realized, be successful. We expect each market to have particular regulatory and funding hurdles to overcome and future developments in these markets, including the uncertainty relating to governmental policies and regulations, could harm our business. If we expend significant time and resources on expansion plans that fail or are delayed, our reputation, business and financial condition may be harmed.

Our results may be impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Currently, the majority of our international sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars. We pay certain of our suppliers in a foreign currency under the terms of their supply agreements, and we may pay other suppliers in the future in foreign currency. As a result, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could require us to reduce our selling price or risk making MRIdian less competitive in international markets or our costs could increase. Also, if our international sales increase, we may enter into a greater number of transactions denominated in non-U.S. dollars, which could expose us to foreign currency risks, including changes in currency exchange rates. We do not currently engage in any hedging transactions. If we are unable to address these risks and challenges effectively, our international operations may not be successful and our business could be harmed.

We could be negatively impacted by violations of applicable anti-corruption laws or violations of our internal policies designed to ensure ethical business practices.

We operate in a number of countries throughout the world, including in countries that do not have as strong a commitment to anti-corruption and ethical behavior that is required by U.S. laws or by corporate policies. We are subject to the risk that we, our U.S. employees or our employees located in other jurisdictions or any third parties such as our sales agents and distributors that we engage to do work on our behalf in foreign countries may take action determined to be in violation of anti-corruption laws in any jurisdiction in which we conduct business, including the FCPA and the Bribery Act of 2010, or the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act. In addition, we operate in certain countries in which the government may take an ownership stake in an enterprise and such government ownership may not be readily apparent, thereby increasing potential anti-corruption law violations. Any violation of the FCPA and U.K. Anti-Bribery Act or any similar anti-corruption law or regulation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties and curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions and might harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we have internal ethics policies with which we require our employees to comply in order to ensure that our business is conducted in a manner that our management deems appropriate. If these anti-corruption laws or internal policies were to be violated, our reputation and operations could also be substantially harmed. Further, detecting, investigating and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.

We are subject to export restrictions and laws affecting trade and investments, and the future sale of our MRIdian system may be further limited or prohibited in the future by a government agency or authority.

As a global company headquartered in the United States, our MRIdian system is subject to U.S. laws and regulations that may limit, restrict or require a license to export (and re-export from other countries) our MRIdian system and related product and technical information due to its use of hazardous materials, including Cobalt-60, lead and depleted uranium. We are also subject to the export and import laws of those foreign jurisdictions to which we sell or from which we re-export our MRIdian system. Compliance with these laws and regulations could significantly limit our operations and our sales in the future and failure to comply, even indirectly, could result in a range of penalties, including restrictions on exports of our MRIdian system for a specified time period, or forever, and severe monetary penalties. In certain circumstances, these restrictions may affect our ability to interact with any of our future foreign subsidiaries and otherwise limit our trade with third parties, including suppliers and customers, operating inside and outside the United States. In addition, if we introduce new products, we may need to obtain licenses or approvals from the United States and other governments to ship them into foreign countries. Failure to receive the appropriate approvals may mean that our commercial efforts and expenses related to such efforts may not result in any revenue, which could harm our business.

We depend on our information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could harm our business.

We depend on information technology and telecommunications systems for significant elements of our operations. We have developed propriety software for the management and operation of MRIdian by our

 

28


Table of Contents

customers. We have installed, and expect to expand, a number of enterprise software systems that affect a broad range of business processes and functional areas, including for example, systems handling human resources, financial controls and reporting, contract management, regulatory compliance and other infrastructure operations. In addition to the aforementioned business systems, we intend to extend the capabilities of both our preventative and detective security controls by augmenting the monitoring and alerting functions, the network design and the automatic countermeasure operations of our technical systems. These information technology and telecommunications systems support a variety of functions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing operations, customer service support, billing and reimbursement, research and development activities and general administrative activities.

Information technology and telecommunications systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, malicious human acts and natural disasters. Moreover, despite network security and back-up measures, some of our servers are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems. Despite the precautionary measures we have taken to prevent unanticipated problems that could affect our information technology and telecommunications systems, failures or significant downtime of our information technology or telecommunications systems or those used by our third-party service providers could prevent us from providing maintenance and support services to our customers, conducting research and development activities and managing the administrative aspects of our business. Any disruption or loss of information technology or telecommunications systems on which critical aspects of our operations depend could harm our business.

Our operations are vulnerable to interruption or loss due to natural or other disasters, power loss, strikes and other events beyond our control.

We conduct a significant portion of our activities, including administration and data processing, at facilities located in California, Ohio and other areas that have experienced major earthquakes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. A major earthquake, tornado or other disaster (such as a major fire, hurricane, flood, tsunami, volcanic eruption or terrorist attack) affecting our facilities, or those of our suppliers, could significantly disrupt our operations, and delay or prevent product shipment or installation during the time required to repair, rebuild or replace our suppliers’ damaged manufacturing facilities; these delays could be lengthy and costly. If any of our customers’ facilities are negatively impacted by a disaster, shipments of MRIdian could be delayed. Additionally, customers may delay purchases of MRIdian until operations return to normal. Even if we are able to quickly respond to a disaster, the ongoing effects of the disaster could create some uncertainty in the operations of our business. In addition, our facilities may be subject to a shortage of available electrical power and other energy supplies. Any shortages may increase our costs for power and energy supplies or could result in blackouts, which could disrupt the operations of our affected facilities and harm our business. Further, MRIdian is typically shipped from a limited number of ports, and any disaster, strike or other event blocking shipment from these ports could delay or prevent shipments and harm our business. In addition, concerns about terrorism, the effects of a terrorist attack, political turmoil or an outbreak of epidemic diseases, such as ebola or influenza, could have a negative effect on our operations, those of our suppliers and customers and the ability to travel, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Litigation or other proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement could require us to spend significant time and money and could prevent us from selling MRIdian or impact our stock price.

There is considerable intellectual property litigation and contested patent disputes in the medical device area. Third parties may, in the future, assert claims that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization, including claims from competitors or from non-practicing entities that have no relevant product revenue and against whom our own patent portfolio may have no deterrent effect. As we continue to commercialize MRIdian in its current or an updated form, launch new products and enter new markets, we expect that competitors may claim that MRIdian infringes their intellectual property rights as part of business strategies

designed to impede our successful commercialization and entry into new markets. Although we are presently unaware of any basis by which a third party would be justified in making such claims, in the future, we may receive letters or other threats or claims from third parties inviting us to take licenses under, or alleging that we infringe, their patents. Third parties may have obtained, and may in the future obtain, patents under which such third parties may claim that the use of our technologies constitutes patent infringement.

Moreover, we may become party to future adversarial proceedings regarding our patent portfolio or the patents of third parties. Such proceedings could include contested post-grant proceedings such as oppositions, inter partes review, reexamination, interference or derivation proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or foreign patent offices. The legal threshold for initiating litigation or contested proceedings is low, so that even lawsuits or proceedings with a low probability of success might be initiated. Litigation and contested proceedings can also be expensive and time-consuming, and our adversaries in these proceedings may have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to prosecuting these legal actions than we can.

We could incur substantial costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel in defending ourselves against any of these claims or in any of such proceedings. Any adverse ruling or perception of an adverse ruling in defending ourselves against these claims could have a negative impact on our cash position and stock price. Furthermore, parties making claims against us may be able to obtain injunctive or other relief, which could block our ability to develop, commercialize and sell products, and could result in the award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a successful claim of infringement or misappropriation against us, we may be required to pay damages, obtain one or more licenses from third parties or be prohibited from selling certain products, all of which could have a negative impact on our cash position, business and financial condition.

In addition, we may be unable to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. We could therefore incur substantial costs related to royalty payments for licenses obtained from third parties, which could negatively affect our gross margins. Moreover, we could encounter delays in product introductions while we attempt to develop alternative methods or products. Defense of any lawsuit or adversarial proceeding or failure to obtain any of these licenses on favorable terms could prevent us from commercializing products, and the prohibition of sale of MRIdian or future products could impact our ability to grow and maintain profitability and harm our business.

If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology or maintain issued patents that are sufficient to protect MRIdian, others could compete against us more directly, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our commercial success will depend in part on our success in obtaining and maintaining issued patents and other intellectual property rights in the United States and elsewhere and protecting our proprietary technology. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology, competitors may be able to use our technologies and erode or negate any competitive advantage we may have, which could harm our business and ability to achieve profitability.

We hold the exclusive worldwide license for certain patents and applications covering our combination of MRI and radiation therapy technologies. Specifically, we hold a license to three issued U.S. patents, 14 issued foreign patents (eight of which were issued in Great Britain, Germany, France and the Netherlands as a result of two patent applications filed and allowed through the European Patent Office), one pending U.S. application and four pending foreign patent applications at September 30, 2015. We own an additional eight issued U.S. patents, eight issued foreign patents, 17 pending U.S. patent applications and 68 pending foreign patent applications, and, at September 30, 2015, two of our foreign patent applications are allowed. Assuming all required fees are paid, individual patents or patent applications owned or licensed by us will expire between 2025 and 2035. We also have a joint ownership interest with Case Western Reserve University in one issued patent and one U.S. patent application.

We cannot provide any assurances that any of our patents have, or that any of our pending patent applications that mature into issued patents will include, claims with a scope sufficient to protect MRIdian, any additional features we develop for MRIdian or any new products. Other parties may have developed technologies that may be related or competitive to our platform, may have filed or may file patent applications and may have received or may receive patents that overlap or conflict with our patent applications, either by claiming the same methods or devices or by claiming subject matter that could dominate our patent position. The patent positions of medical device companies, including our patent position, involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the issuance, scope, validity and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. U.S. patents and patent applications may also be subject to supplemental examination or contested post-grant proceedings such as inter partes review, reexamination, interference or derivation proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and challenges in district court. Patents may be subjected to opposition, post-grant review or comparable proceedings lodged in various foreign, both national and regional, patent offices. These proceedings could result in either loss of the patent or denial of the patent application or loss or reduction in the scope of one or more of the claims of the patent or patent application. In addition, such proceedings may be costly. Thus, any patents that we may own or exclusively license may not provide any protection against competitors. Furthermore, an adverse decision in an interference proceeding can result in a third party receiving the patent right sought by us, which in turn could affect our ability to commercialize MRIdian.

Furthermore, though an issued patent is presumed valid and enforceable, its issuance is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability and it may not provide us with adequate proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar products. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or trade secrets by consultants, suppliers, vendors, former employees and current employees. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we may encounter significant problems in protecting our proprietary rights in these countries. If any of these developments were to occur, they each could have a negative impact on our sales.

Our ability to enforce our patent rights depends on our ability to detect infringement. It is difficult to detect infringers who do not advertise the components that are used in their products. Moreover, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain evidence of infringement in a competitor’s or potential competitor’s product. Any litigation to enforce or defend our patent rights, even if we were to prevail, could be costly and time-consuming and would divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded if we were to prevail may not be commercially meaningful.

In addition, proceedings to enforce or defend our patents could put our patents at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable or interpreted narrowly. Such proceedings could also provoke third parties to assert claims against us, including that some or all of the claims in one or more of our patents are invalid or otherwise unenforceable. If any of our patents covering MRIdian are invalidated or found unenforceable, our financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted. In addition, if a court found that valid, enforceable patents held by third parties covered MRIdian, our financial position and results of operations could be harmed.

The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain, and we cannot ensure that:

 

    any of our patents, or any of our pending patent applications, if issued, will include claims having a scope sufficient to protect MRIdian or any other products;

 

    any of our pending patent applications will issue as patents;

 

    we will be able to successfully commercialize MRIdian on a substantial scale before our relevant patents expire;

 

31


Table of Contents

    we were the first to make the inventions covered by each of our patents and pending patent applications;

 

    we were the first to file patent applications for these inventions;

 

    others will not develop similar or alternative technologies that do not infringe our patents;

 

    any of our patents will be found to ultimately be valid and enforceable;

 

    any patents issued to us will provide a basis for an exclusive market for our commercially viable products, will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties;

 

    we will develop additional proprietary technologies or products that are separately patentable; or

 

    our commercial activities or products will not infringe upon the patents of others.

We rely upon unpatented trade secrets, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees and our collaborators and consultants. We also have agreements with our employees and selected consultants that obligate them to assign their inventions to us and have non-compete agreements with some, but not all, of our consultants. It is possible that technology relevant to our business will be independently developed by a person that is not a party to such an agreement. Furthermore, if the employees and consultants who are parties to these agreements breach or violate the terms of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could lose our trade secrets through such breaches or violations. Further, our trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors.

If we are not able to meet the requirements of our license agreement with the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., we could lose access to the technologies licensed thereunder and be unable to manufacture, market or sell MRIdian.

We license patents and patent applications from the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., or UFRF, covering our combination of MRI and radiation therapy, and other key technologies, incorporated into MRIdian under a license agreement that requires us to pay royalties to UFRF. In addition, the license agreement obligates us to pursue an agreed development plan and to submit periodic reports and restricts our ability to take actions to defend the licensed patents. The license agreement terminates when the underlying patents expire in 2025, although UFRF has the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement if we do not meet our royalty payment obligations, including minimum royalty payments of $50,000 per quarter, or if we fail to satisfy other development and commercialization obligations related to our utilization of the technology. If UFRF were to terminate the agreement or if we were to otherwise lose the ability to exploit the licensed patents, our competitive advantage could be reduced, we may not be able to find a source to replace the licensed technology and we may be prevented from selling MRIdian. The license agreement reserves to UFRF the initial right to defend or prosecute any claim arising with respect to the licensed technology. If UFRF does not vigorously defend the patents, we may be required to engage in expensive patent litigation to enforce our rights and any competitive advantage we have based on the licensed technology may be hampered. Any of these events could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent changes in U.S. patent laws may limit our ability to obtain, defend or enforce our patents.

Recent patent reform legislation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents. The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the Leahy-Smith Act, includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These include provisions that affect the way patent applications are prosecuted and also affect patent litigation. The United States Patent Office recently developed new regulations and procedures to govern administration of the Leahy-Smith Act, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated with the Leahy-Smith Act, and in particular, the first to

 

32


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

file provisions, only became effective on March 16, 2013. The first to file provisions limit the rights of an inventor to patent an invention if not the first to file an application for patenting that invention, even if such invention was the first invention. Accordingly, it is not clear what, if any, impact the Leahy-Smith Act will have on the operation of our business.

However, the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the enforcement and defense of our issued patents. For example, the Leahy-Smith Act provides that an administrative tribunal known as the Patent Trial and Appeals Board, or PTAB, provides a venue for companies to challenge the validity of competitor patents at a cost that is much lower than district court litigation and on timelines that are much faster. Although it is not clear what, if any, long-term impact the PTAB proceedings will have on the operation of our business, the initial results of patent challenge proceedings before the PTAB since its inception in 2013 have resulted in the invalidation of many U.S. patent claims. The availability of the PTAB as a lower-cost, faster and potentially more potent tribunal for challenging patents could therefore increase the likelihood that our own patents will be challenged, thereby increasing the uncertainties and costs of maintaining and enforcing them. Moreover, if such challenges occur with regard to our UFRF-licensed patents, as indicated above, we have only limited rights to control the defense.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position could be harmed.

In addition to patent protection, we also rely upon copyright and trade secret protection, as well as non-disclosure agreements and invention assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties, to protect our confidential and proprietary information. For example, significant elements of MRIdian are based on unpatented trade secrets and know-how that are not publicly disclosed. In addition to contractual measures, we try to protect the confidential nature of our proprietary information using physical and technological security measures. Such measures may not, for example, in the case of misappropriation of a trade secret by an employee or third party with authorized access, provide adequate protection for our proprietary information. Our security measures may not prevent an employee or consultant from misappropriating our trade secrets and providing them to a competitor, and recourse we take against such misconduct may not provide an adequate remedy to protect our interests fully. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, trade secrets may be independently developed by others in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us. If any of our confidential or proprietary information, such as our trade secrets, were to be disclosed or misappropriated, or if any such information was independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position could be harmed.

We may not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. This could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents, if obtained, or the misappropriation of our other intellectual property rights. For example, many foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit. Patent protection must ultimately be sought on a country-by-country basis, which is an expensive and time-consuming process with uncertain outcomes. Accordingly, we may choose not to seek patent protection in certain countries, and we will not have the benefit of patent protection in such countries.

Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business. Accordingly, our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate. In addition, changes in the law and legal decisions by courts in the United States and foreign countries may affect our ability to obtain adequate protection for our technology and the enforcement of intellectual property.

Third parties may assert ownership or commercial rights to inventions we develop.

Third parties may in the future make claims challenging the inventorship or ownership of our intellectual property. We have written agreements with collaborators that provide for the ownership of intellectual property arising from our collaborations. These agreements provide that we must negotiate certain commercial rights with collaborators with respect to joint inventions or inventions made by our collaborators that arise from the results of the collaboration. In some instances, there may not be adequate written provisions to address clearly the resolution of intellectual property rights that may arise from a collaboration. If we cannot successfully negotiate sufficient ownership and commercial rights to the inventions that result from our use of a third-party collaborator’s materials where required, or if disputes otherwise arise with respect to the intellectual property developed with the use of a collaborator’s technology, we may be limited in our ability to capitalize on the market potential of these intellectual property rights. In addition, we may face claims by third parties that our agreements with employees, contractors or consultants obligating them to assign intellectual property to us are ineffective or in conflict with prior or competing contractual obligations of assignment, which could result in ownership disputes regarding intellectual property we have developed or will develop and interfere with our ability to capture the commercial value of such intellectual property. Litigation may be necessary to resolve an ownership dispute, and if we are not successful, we may be precluded from using certain intellectual property or may lose our exclusive rights in that intellectual property. Either outcome could harm our business.

Third parties may assert that our employees or consultants have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or misappropriated trade secrets.

We employ individuals who were previously employed at universities or other medical device companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. Although we try to ensure that our employees and consultants do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of a former employer or other third parties. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

Risks Related to Regulatory Matters

MRIdian and our operations are subject to extensive government regulation and oversight both in the United States and abroad, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements could harm our business.

MRIdian is a medical device that is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and elsewhere, including by the FDA and its foreign counterparts. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies regulate, among other things, with respect to medical devices:

 

    design, development and manufacturing;

 

    testing, labeling, content and language of instructions for use and storage;

 

    clinical trials;

 

    product safety;

 

    marketing, sales and distribution;

 

    premarket clearance and approval;

 

    record keeping procedures;

 

    advertising and promotion;

 

    recalls and field safety corrective actions;

 

34


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
    post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, could lead to death or serious injury;

 

    post-market approval studies; and

 

    product import and export.

The regulations to which we are subject are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales.

In the United States, before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, new claim for or significant modification to an existing product, we must first receive either clearance under Section 510(k) of the FDCA or approval of a premarket approval, or PMA, application from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. In the 510(k) clearance process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a device legally on the market, known as a “predicate” device, in order to clear the proposed device for marketing. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data are sometimes required to support substantial equivalence. In the PMA process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, pre-clinical, clinical trial, manufacturing and labeling data. The PMA process is typically required for devices that are deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices.

Modifications to products that are approved through a PMA application generally require FDA approval. Similarly, certain modifications made to products cleared through a 510(k) may require a new 510(k) clearance. Both the PMA approval and the 510(k) clearance process can be expensive, lengthy and uncertain. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to 12 months, but can last longer. The process of obtaining a PMA is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA. In addition, PMA generally requires the performance of one or more clinical trials. Despite the time, effort and cost, we cannot assure you that any particular device will be approved or cleared by the FDA. Any delay or failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals could harm our business.

In the United States, we have obtained 510(k) premarket clearance from the FDA to market MRIdian for the provision of stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. An element of our strategy is to continue to upgrade MRIdian to incorporate new software and hardware enhancements. We expect that such upgrades, as well as other future modifications to MRIdian, may require new 510(k) clearance; however, future upgrades may be subject to the substantially more costly, time-consuming and uncertain PMA process. If the FDA requires us to go through a lengthier, more rigorous examination for future products or modifications to existing products than we had expected, product introductions or modifications could be delayed or canceled, which could cause our sales to decline.

 

    The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a device for many reasons, including:

 

    we may not be able to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction that MRIdian is substantially equivalent to the proposed predicate device or safe and effective for its intended use;

 

    the data from our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials may be insufficient to support clearance or approval, where required; and

 

    the manufacturing process or facilities we use may not meet applicable requirements.

In addition, the FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently cleared product on a timely basis. For example, in response

to industry and healthcare provider concerns regarding the predictability, consistency and rigor of the 510(k) clearance process, the FDA initiated an evaluation, and in January 2011, announced several proposed actions intended to reform the clearance process. The FDA intends these reform actions to improve the efficiency and transparency of the clearance process, as well as bolster patient safety. In addition, as part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, or FDASIA, enacted in 2012, Congress reauthorized the Medical Device User Fee Amendments with various FDA performance goal commitments and enacted several “Medical Device Regulatory Improvements” and miscellaneous reforms, which are further intended to clarify and improve medical device regulation both pre- and post-clearance and approval. Some of these proposals and reforms could impose additional regulatory requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances, increase the costs of compliance or restrict our ability to maintain our current clearances.

Even after we have obtained the proper regulatory clearance or approval to market a product, we have ongoing responsibilities under FDA regulations. The failure to comply with applicable regulations could jeopardize our ability to sell MRIdian and result in enforcement actions such as:

 

    warning letters;

 

    fines;

 

    injunctions;

 

    civil penalties;

 

    termination of distribution;

 

    recalls or seizures of products;

 

    delays in the introduction of products into the market;

 

    total or partial suspension of production;

 

    refusal to grant future clearances or approvals;

 

    withdrawals or suspensions of current clearances or approvals, resulting in prohibitions on sales of MRIdian; and

 

    in the most serious cases, criminal penalties.

Any of these sanctions could result in higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales and harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

In order to sell MRIdian in member countries of the European Economic Area, or EEA, MRIdian must comply with the essential requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive (Council Directive 93/42/EEC). Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the Conformité Européene, or CE, mark to MRIdian, without which they cannot be sold or marketed in the EEA. To demonstrate compliance with the essential requirements we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its classification. Except for low-risk medical devices (Class I with no measuring function and which are not sterile), where the manufacturer can issue an EC Declaration of Conformity based on a self-assessment of the conformity of its products with the essential requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive, a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of an organization accredited by a Member State of the EEA to conduct conformity assessments, or a Notified Body. Depending on the relevant conformity assessment procedure, the Notified Body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our devices. The Notified Body issues a CE Certificate of Conformity following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure conducted in relation to the medical device and its manufacturer and their conformity with the essential requirements. This certificate entitles the manufacturer to affix the CE mark to its medical devices after having prepared and signed a related EC Declaration of Conformity.

As a general rule, demonstration of conformity of medical devices and their manufacturers with the essential requirements must be based, among other things, on the evaluation of clinical data supporting the safety and performance of the products during normal conditions of use. Specifically, a manufacturer must demonstrate that the device achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use, that the known and foreseeable risks, and any adverse events, are minimized and acceptable when weighed against the benefits of its intended performance, and that any claims made about the performance and safety of the device (e.g., product labeling and instructions for use) are supported by suitable evidence. We received the CE mark for MRIdian in November 2014. If we fail to remain in compliance with applicable European laws and directives, we would not be able to continue to affix the CE mark to MRIdian, which would prevent us from selling MRIdian within the EEA. We will also need to obtain regulatory approval in other foreign jurisdictions in which we plan to market and sell MRIdian.

Modifications to MRIdian and our future products may require new 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals, or may require us to cease marketing or recall the modified products until clearances are obtained.

In the United States, we have obtained 510(k) premarket clearance from the FDA to market MRIdian for the provision of stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. Any modification to a 510(k)-cleared device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, possibly, approval of a PMA. The FDA requires every manufacturer to make this determination in the first instance, but the FDA may review any manufacturer’s decision. The FDA may not agree with our decisions regarding whether new clearances or approvals are necessary. We have made modifications to MRIdian in the past and have determined based on our review of the applicable FDA regulations and guidance that in certain instances new 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals were not required. We may make similar modifications or add additional features in the future that we believe do not require a new 510(k) clearance or approval of a PMA. If the FDA disagrees with our determination and requires us to submit new 510(k) notifications or PMA applications for modifications to our previously cleared products for which we have concluded that new clearances or approvals are unnecessary, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until we obtain clearance or approval, and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

Furthermore, the FDA’s ongoing review of the 510(k) clearance process may make it more difficult for us to make modifications to our previously cleared products, either by imposing more strict requirements on when a new 510(k) notification for a modification to a previously cleared product must be submitted, or applying more onerous review criteria to such submissions. For example, the FDA is currently reviewing its guidance describing when it believes a manufacturer is obligated to submit a new 510(k) for modifications or changes to a previously cleared device. The FDA is expected to issue revised guidance to assist device manufacturers in making this determination. It is unclear whether the FDA’s approach in this new guidance will result in substantive changes to existing policy and practice regarding the assessment of whether a new 510(k) is required for changes or modifications to existing devices. The FDA continues to review its 510(k) clearance process, which could result in additional changes to regulatory requirements or guidance documents, which could increase the costs of compliance or restrict our ability to maintain current clearances.

If treatment guidelines for cancer radiation therapies change or the standard of care evolves, we may need to redesign and seek new marketing authorization from the FDA for MRIdian.

If treatment guidelines for cancer radiation therapies or the standard of care evolves, we may need to redesign MRIdian and seek new clearances or approvals from the FDA for MRIdian. Our 510(k) clearance from the FDA is based on current treatment guidelines. If treatment guidelines change so that different treatments become desirable, the clinical utility of MRIdian could be diminished and our business could suffer. For example, competition by other forms of cancer treatment, in particular personalized medicine approaches in targeting drugs and biologics, could reduce the use of radiation therapy as a standard of care in certain indications.

The misuse or off-label use of MRIdian may harm our reputation in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability suits or result in costly investigations, fines or sanctions by regulatory bodies if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion of these uses, any of which could be costly to our business.

Clinicians or physicians may misuse MRIdian or use improper techniques if they are not adequately trained, potentially leading to injury and an increased risk of product liability. If MRIdian is misused or used with improper technique, we may become subject to costly litigation by our customers or their patients. Product liability claims could divert management’s attention from our core business, be expensive to defend and result in sizeable damage awards against us that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, any of the events described above could harm our business.

In addition, MRIdian has been cleared by the FDA for specific treatments. We train our marketing and direct sales force to not promote MRIdian for uses outside of the FDA-cleared indications for use, known as “off-label uses.” For example, MRIdian has not been indicated for diagnostic use. We cannot, however, prevent a physician from using MRIdian off-label, when in the physician’s independent professional medical judgment he or she deems it appropriate. There may be increased risk of injury to patients if physicians attempt to use MRIdian off-label. Furthermore, the use of MRIdian for indications other than those cleared by the FDA or approved by any foreign regulatory body may not effectively treat such conditions, which could harm our reputation in the marketplace among physicians and patients.

If the FDA or any foreign regulatory body determines that our promotional materials or training constitute promotion of an off-label use, it could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance or imposition of an untitled letter, which is used for violators that do not necessitate a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action under other regulatory authority, such as false claims laws, if they consider our business activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to, criminal, civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and the curtailment of our operations.

Our MRIdian systems may cause or contribute to adverse medical events that we are required to report to the FDA, and if we fail to do so, we would be subject to sanctions that could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. The discovery of serious safety issues with our MRIdian systems, or a recall of our MRIdian systems either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, could have a negative impact on us.

We are subject to the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations and similar foreign regulations, which require us to report to the FDA when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that MRIdian may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. We may fail to report adverse events of which we become aware within the prescribed timeframe. We may also fail to recognize that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of MRIdian. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance, seizure of MRIdian or delay in clearance of future products.

The FDA and foreign regulatory bodies have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture of a product or in the event that a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. The FDA’s authority to require a recall must be based on a finding that there is reasonable probability that the device could cause serious injury or death. We may also choose to voluntarily recall a product if any material deficiency is found. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us could

 

38


Table of Contents

occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing defects, labeling or design deficiencies, packaging defects or other deficiencies or failures to comply with applicable regulations. For example, in January 2014, we initiated a correction of the system at Washington University in St. Louis due to a defect we identified in an advanced software feature in the treatment planning system of MRIdian. We promptly updated our software to resolve this defect and notified the FDA of this correction, but the FDA has not formally classified this correction as a recall. We cannot assure you that similar product defects or other errors will not occur in the future. Recalls involving MRIdian could be particularly harmful to our business, financial condition and results of operations because it is currently our only product.

Companies are required to maintain certain records of recalls and corrections, even if they are not reportable to the FDA. We may initiate voluntary withdrawals or corrections for MRIdian in the future that we determine do not require notification of the FDA. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations, it could require us to report those actions as recalls and we may be subject to enforcement action. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers, potentially lead to product liability claims against us and negatively affect our sales.

If we or our distributors do not obtain and maintain international regulatory registrations or approvals for MRIdian, we will not be able to market and sell MRIdian outside of the United States.

Sales of our devices outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. In addition, the FDA regulates exports of medical devices from the United States. While the regulations of some countries may not impose barriers to marketing and selling MRIdian or only require notification, others require that we or our distributors obtain the approval of a specified regulatory body. We have applied for and received regulatory approval in Europe, the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Korea and Italy, where regulatory approval is required in addition to the CE mark, and are seeking regulatory approval to market MRIdian in China, Japan, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong and Turkey. We currently have orders to deliver MRIdian to customers in the United States, Taiwan, Korea, Italy and the United Arab Emirates, which we include in our backlog due to the status of each sales order and our regulatory approval processes in these countries. Complying with foreign regulatory requirements, including obtaining registrations or approvals, can be expensive and time-consuming, and we cannot be certain that we or our distributors will receive regulatory approvals in each country in which we plan to market MRIdian or that we will be able to do so on a timely basis. The time required to obtain registrations or approvals, if required by other countries, may be longer than that required for FDA clearance, and requirements for such registrations or approvals may significantly differ from FDA requirements. If we modify MRIdian, we or our distributors may need to apply for additional regulatory approvals before we are permitted to sell the modified product. In addition, we may not continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the authorizations that we or our distributors have received. If we or our distributors are unable to maintain our authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to sell MRIdian in that country, which could harm our business.

Regulatory approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and approval by one or more foreign regulatory authorities does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or by the FDA. However, a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in others.

We must manufacture MRIdian in accordance with federal and state regulations, and we could be forced to recall our installed systems or terminate production if we fail to comply with these regulations.

The methods used in, and the facilities used for, the manufacture of MRIdian must comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which is a complex regulatory scheme that covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, process controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, handling, storage, distribution, installation, servicing and shipping of MRIdian. Furthermore, we are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality and applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA enforces the QSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of medical

device manufacturing facilities, which may include the facilities of subcontractors. MRIdian is also subject to similar state regulations and various laws and regulations of foreign countries governing manufacturing.

We cannot guarantee that we or any subcontractors will take the necessary steps to comply with applicable regulations, which could cause delays in the delivery of MRIdian. In addition, failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements or later discovery of previously unknown problems with MRIdian or manufacturing processes could result in, among other things:

 

    warning letters or untitled letters;

 

    fines, injunctions or civil penalties;

 

    suspension or withdrawal of approvals or clearances;

 

    seizures or recalls of MRIdian;

 

    total or partial suspension of production or distribution;

 

    administrative or judicially imposed sanctions;

 

    FDA’s refusal to grant pending or future clearances or approvals for MRIdian;

 

    clinical holds;

 

    refusal to permit the import or export of MRIdian; and

 

    criminal prosecution of us or our employees.

Any of these actions could significantly and negatively impact supply of MRIdian. If any of these events occurs, our reputation could be harmed, we could be exposed to product liability claims and we could lose customers and suffer reduced revenue and increased costs.

Legislative or regulatory reforms in the United States or the EU may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearances or approvals for MRIdian or to produce, market or distribute MRIdian after clearance or approval is obtained.

From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulation of medical devices or the reimbursement thereof. In addition, the FDA or Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA or NRC in ways that may significantly affect our business and our MRIdian systems. For example, in response to industry and healthcare provider concerns regarding the predictability, consistency and rigor of the 510(k) clearance process, the FDA initiated an evaluation, and in January 2011, announced several proposed actions intended to reform the clearance process. In addition, as part of FDASIA, Congress reauthorized the Medical Device User Fee Amendments with various FDA performance goal commitments and enacted several “Medical Device Regulatory Improvements” and miscellaneous reforms, which are further intended to clarify and improve medical device regulation both pre- and post-clearance or approval. Any new statutes, regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of any future products or make it more difficult to manufacture, market or distribute MRIdian or future products. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business in the future. Such changes could, among other things, require:

 

    additional testing prior to obtaining clearance or approval;

 

    changes to manufacturing methods;

 

    recall, replacement or discontinuance of MRIdian or future products; or

 

    additional record keeping.

Any of these changes could require substantial time and cost and could harm our business and our financial results.

In September 2012, the European Commission published proposals for the revision of the EU regulatory framework for medical devices. The proposal would replace the EU Medical Devices Directive and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive with a new regulation (the Medical Devices Regulation). Unlike the Directives that must be implemented into national laws, the Regulation would be directly applicable in all EEA Member States and so is intended to eliminate current national differences in regulation of medical devices.

In October 2013, the European Parliament approved a package of reforms to the European Commission’s proposals. Under the revised proposals, only designated “special notified bodies” would be entitled to conduct conformity assessments of high-risk devices. These special notified bodies will need to notify the European Commission when they receive an application for a conformity assessment for a new high-risk device. The European Commission will then forward the notification and the accompanying documents on the device to the Medical Devices Coordination Group, or MDCG (a new, yet to be created, body chaired by the European Commission, and representatives of EEA Member States), for an opinion. These new procedures may result in a longer or more burdensome assessment of our new products.

If finally adopted, the Medical Devices Regulation is expected to enter into force sometime in 2016 and become applicable three years thereafter. In its current form it would, among other things, also impose additional reporting requirements on manufacturers of high-risk medical devices, impose an obligation on manufacturers to appoint a “qualified person” responsible for regulatory compliance and provide for more strict clinical evidence requirements.

Our business involves the use of hazardous materials and we and our third-party manufacturers must comply with environmental laws and regulations, which may be expensive and restrict how we do business.

Our third-party manufacturers’ activities and our own activities involve the controlled storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials, including Cobalt-60, lead and depleted uranium. We and our manufacturers are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these hazardous materials. We currently carry no insurance specifically covering environmental claims relating to the use of hazardous materials, but we do reserve funds to address these claims at both the federal and state levels. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials and waste products comply with the standards prescribed by these laws and regulations, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination from the use, storage, handling or disposal of hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, state or federal or other applicable authorities may curtail our use of these materials and interrupt our business operations. In addition, if an accident or environmental discharge occurs, or if we discover contamination caused by prior operations, including by prior owners and operators of properties we acquire, we could be liable for cleanup obligations, damages and fines. If such unexpected costs are substantial, this could significantly harm our financial condition and results of operations.

If we are found to have violated laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm our reputation or our business.

There are a number of federal and state laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information.

In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has promulgated rules governing the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HIPAA. These privacy and security rules protect medical records and other personal health

information by limiting their use and disclosure, giving individuals the right to access, amend and seek accounting of their own health information, limiting most uses and disclosures of health information to the minimum amount reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose, and requiring administrative, technical and physical safeguards. Although we are not a covered entity under HIPAA, we have entered into agreements with certain covered entity customers, such as health care providers, under which we are considered to be a “business associate” under HIPAA. As a business associate, we are contractually bound and may also be directly responsible under HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, to implement policies, procedures and reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect any individually identifiable health information we may create, receive, maintain or transmit on behalf of covered entities. We may also be subject to state laws protecting the confidentiality of medical records where those state laws have stricter provisions than HIPAA. Our failure to protect or secure any individually identifiable health information received on behalf of customers could subject us to civil and criminal liability, including the imposition of monetary fines, and adverse publicity, and could harm our business and impair our ability to attract new customers.

We are subject to federal and state fraud and abuse laws and health information privacy and security laws, which, if violated, could subject us to substantial penalties. Additionally, any challenge to or investigation into our practices under these laws could cause adverse publicity and be costly to respond to, and thus could harm our business.

There are numerous U.S. federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback, false claims and physician transparency laws. Our relationships with providers and hospitals are subject to scrutiny under these laws. We may also be subject to patient privacy regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. The laws that may affect our ability to operate include:

 

    the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce either the referral of an individual or furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. Moreover, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;

 

    federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors that are false or fraudulent;

 

    HIPAA, which created federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among other things, executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program and making false statements relating to healthcare matters. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;

 

    the federal physician sunshine requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act, which requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies to report annually to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians, which is defined broadly to include other healthcare providers and teaching hospitals and ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members;

 

    state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws that may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers;

 

    state laws that require device companies to comply with the industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government, or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; and

 

42


Table of Contents

    state laws that require device manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures.

These laws, among other things, constrain our business, marketing and other promotional activities by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, we may have with hospitals, physicians or other potential purchasers of medical devices. We have a variety of arrangements with our customers that could implicate these laws. Due to the breadth of these laws, the narrowness of statutory exceptions and safe harbors available, and the range of interpretations to which they are subject to, it is possible that some of our current or future practices might be challenged under one or more of these laws. Even an unsuccessful challenge or investigation into our practices could cause adverse publicity, and be costly to respond to, and thus could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, imprisonment and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could negatively impact our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.

Healthcare policy changes, including recently enacted legislation reforming the U.S. healthcare system, could harm our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was enacted in the United States, which made a number of substantial changes in the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act:

 

    requires each medical device manufacturer to pay a sales tax equal to 2.3% of the price for which such manufacturer sells its medical devices;

 

    establishes a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee and identify priorities in comparative clinical effectiveness research in an effort to coordinate and develop such research;

 

    implements payment system reforms including a national pilot program on payment bundling to encourage hospitals, physicians and other providers to improve the coordination, quality and efficiency of certain healthcare services through bundled payment models; and

 

    establishes an Independent Payment Advisory Board that will submit recommendations to reduce Medicare spending if projected Medicare spending exceeds a specified growth rate.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 was signed into law, which, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend to Congress proposals in spending reductions. The Joint Select Committee did not achieve a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes reductions to Medicare payments to providers of 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect on April 1, 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for MRIdian or additional pricing pressure.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be volatile and may be influenced by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Factors that could cause volatility in the market price of our common stock include, but are not limited to:

 

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results;

 

    actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;

 

    commercial success and market acceptance of MRIdian;

 

    success of our competitors in discovering, developing or commercializing products;

 

    ability to commercialize or obtain regulatory approval for MRIdian, or delays in commercializing or obtaining regulatory approval;

 

    strategic transactions undertaken by us;

 

    additions or departures of key personnel;

 

    product liability claims;

 

    prevailing economic conditions;

 

    disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;

 

    FDA or other U.S. or foreign regulatory actions affecting us or the healthcare industry;

 

    healthcare reform measures in the United States;

 

    sales of our common stock by our officers, directors or significant stockholders;

 

    future sales or issuances of equity or debt securities by us;

 

    business disruptions caused by earthquakes, tornadoes or other natural disasters; and

 

    issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations regarding us.

In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for medical device companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that have been often unrelated to the operating performance of the issuer. These broad market fluctuations may negatively impact the price or liquidity of our common stock. In the past, when the price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the issuer. If any of our stockholders were to bring such a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and the attention of our management would be diverted from the operation of our business.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An “emerging growth company” can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Future sales of our common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

If our existing stockholders or optionholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the lock-up and legal restrictions on resale lapse, the price of our common stock could decline. The perception in the market that these sales may occur could also cause the price of our common stock to decline. Based on shares of ViewRay common stock outstanding at September 30, 2015, we have outstanding a total of 38,200,288 shares of common stock. Of those shares, only 260,000 are currently freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market. We have entered into registration agreements to register for resale under the Securities Act 5,884,504 shares of common stock, which we issued and sold in the Private Placement, 770,000 shares of our common stock that were held by one of our stockholders immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, 31,275,408 shares of our common stock, which we issued to former stockholders of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. in connection with the closing of the Merger, and 198,760 shares of common stock issuable to holders of the warrants issued to placement agents in connection with the Private Placement. Such shares represent approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of September 30, 2015. Upon the effectiveness of any such registration statement, or other registration statement we could elect to file with respect to any other outstanding shares of common stock, any sales of those shares or any perception in the market that such sales may occur could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. As of the date of effectiveness of such registration statement, such shares registered for resale will be freely tradable without restriction, except for 32,552,131 shares of our common stock, which will become freely tradable upon the expiration of certain lock-up restrictions applicable to those shares, which prohibit their sale, disposition or other transfer for a period of six months following July 23, 2015; however, in the case of certain of our former shareholders, the lock-up restrictions prohibit the sale, disposition or other transfer of approximately 80% of such shareholder’s shares.

In addition, based on the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under our 2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or 2008 Plan, or available for issuance thereunder, at September 30, 2015, and including the initial reserves under our 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan, or 2015 Plan, 9,238,026 shares of common stock that are either subject to outstanding options, outstanding but subject to vesting or reserved for future issuance under the 2008 Plan or 2015 Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules, the lock-up agreements and Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act. As further described elsewhere in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 29, 2015, as amended on August 13, 2015, we also plan to file a registration statement permitting shares of common stock issued in the future pursuant to the 2008 Plan and 2015 Plan to be freely resold by plan participants in the public market, subject to the lock-up agreements, applicable vesting schedules and, for shares held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates, volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The 2015 Plan contains provisions for the annual increase of the number of shares reserved for issuance under such plan, which shares we also intend to register. If the shares we may issue from time to time under the 2008 Plan or 2015 Plan are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, by the award recipients in the public market, the price of our common stock could decline.

Holders of our common stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of our common stock warrants, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the

Securities Act, except for shares purchased by affiliates, subject to the lock-up agreements described above in the section entitled “The Merger and Related Transactions—Lock-up Agreements and Other Restrictions.” Sales of such shares could also cause the price of our common stock to decline.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders and the purchasers of our common stock offered hereby. We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. We may need to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital needs, and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with these capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price you paid for your stock.

Furthermore, in connection with the Private Placement, we entered into agreements containing certain anti-dilution provisions. Those anti-dilution provisions provide that, subject to certain exceptions, if we issue and sell common stock and common stock equivalents at a purchase price per share of lower than $5.00 within the six month period following July 2015, each investor in the Private Placement shall be entitled to receive such number of additional shares of our common stock as they would have received had such lower purchase price per share been applicable in the Private Placement, which could result in additional dilution and cause the market price of our securities to decline.

There may never be an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on OTC Markets, OTCQB tier of OTC Markets Group Inc., an over-the-counter quotation system, and there is not now, nor has there been since our inception, any significant trading activity in our common stock, and an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained. In that venue, our stockholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of their shares of our common stock, and may find few buyers to purchase their stock and few market makers to support its price. As a result of these and other factors, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at or above the price for which you purchased them, at or near quoted bid prices, or at all. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling additional equity in the future, and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships or acquire companies or products by using shares of our common stock as consideration.

We intend to list shares of our common stock on a national securities exchange in the future, but we do not now, and may not in the future, meet the initial listing standards of any national securities exchange, which is often a more widely-traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our common stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have our common stock listed. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of the national exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing, and remains listed on the OTC Markets or is suspended from the OTC Markets, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and

the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

Our common stock is and may continue to be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.

Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Our operating results for a particular period may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, each of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline.

We expect our operating results to be subject to fluctuations. Our operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:

 

    variations in the level of expenses related to MRIdian or future development programs;

 

    level of underlying demand for MRIdian and any other products we develop;

 

    addition or termination of clinical trials or funding support;

 

    receipt, modification or termination of government contracts or grants, and the timing of payments we receive under these arrangements;

 

    our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments we may make or receive under these arrangements;

 

    any intellectual property infringement lawsuit or opposition, interference or cancellation proceeding in which we may become involved; and

 

    regulatory developments affecting MRIdian or our competitors.

If our operating results for a particular period fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. We believe that comparisons of our financial results from various reporting periods are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

Based on the beneficial ownership of our common stock at October 1, 2015, our officers and directors, together with holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock and their respective affiliates, will beneficially own approximately 83.0% of our common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders will continue to have significant influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of these stockholders may not be the same as or may even conflict with your interests. For example, these stockholders could delay or prevent a change in control of the company, even if such a change in control would benefit our other stockholders, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of the company or our assets and might affect the prevailing price of our common stock. The significant concentration of stock ownership may negatively impact the price of our common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under federal securities laws are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144, including those set forth in Rule 144(i) which apply to a former “shell company.”

Prior to the closing of the Merger, we were deemed a “shell company” under applicable SEC rules and regulations because we had no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, under that rule are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from July 29, 2015, the date on which our Current Report on Form 8-K, reflecting our status as a non-shell company, was filed with the SEC and (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. We intend to register such shares for sale under the Securities Act, but are currently a “voluntary filer” and are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As a result, unless we register such shares for sale under the Securities Act, most of our stockholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period before they are eligible to sell those shares, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we and the selling stockholders are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144. Further, it will be more difficult for us to raise funding to support our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities under the Securities Act, which could cause us to expend significant time and cash resources. Additionally, our previous status as a shell company could also limit our use of our securities to pay for any acquisitions we may seek to pursue in the future (although none are currently planned). The lack of liquidity of our securities as a result of the inability to sell under Rule 144 for a longer period of time than a non-former shell company could cause the market price of our securities to decline.

Provisions of our charter documents or Delaware law could delay or prevent an acquisition of the company, even if such an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, which could make it more difficult for you to change management.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which

 

48


Table of Contents

stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempt by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult to replace or remove our board of directors. These provisions include:

 

    a classified board of directors so that not all directors are elected at one time;

 

    a prohibition on stockholder action through written consent;

 

    no cumulative voting in the election of directors;

 

    the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director;

 

    a requirement that special meetings of stockholders be called only by the board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or, in the absence of a chief executive officer, the president;

 

    an advance notice requirement for stockholder proposals and nominations;

 

    the authority of our board of directors to issue preferred stock with such terms as our board of directors may determine; and

 

    a requirement of approval of not less than 66 2/3% of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote to amend any bylaws by stockholder action, or to amend specific provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

In addition, Delaware law prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person who, together with its affiliates, owns, or within the last three years has owned, 15% or more of our voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the company. Furthermore, our certificate of incorporation will specify that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for most legal actions involving actions brought against us by stockholders. We believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law by chancellors particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. However, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Provisions in our charter documents and other provisions of Delaware law could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future; therefore, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, our current loan and security agreement with CRG contains, and our future loan arrangements may contain, terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the company, the price for our common stock could be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in the table below of up to an aggregate of 38,128,672 shares of our common stock, which includes (i) 5,884,504 shares of our common stock issued and sold to investors in the Private Placement, (ii) 770,000 shares of our common stock that were held by one of our stockholders immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, (iii) 31,275,408 shares of our common stock, issued in the Merger to the former stockholders of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. in connection with the closing of the Merger and (iv) 198,760 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock warrants by the holders of the Placement Agent Warrants issued as compensation in connection with the Private Placement.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into with each of the investors in the Private Placement, we have filed with the SEC the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in order to register such resales of our common stock under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to cause this registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective within and for the time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Our failure to satisfy the filing or effectiveness deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement may subject us to payment of certain monetary penalties pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The selling stockholders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered in this offering” in the table below. The table below has been prepared based upon information furnished to us by the selling stockholders as of the dates represented in the footnotes accompanying the table. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly and as required.

We have been advised, as noted in the footnotes in the table below, that certain of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers and/or affiliates of a broker-dealer. Those selling stockholders have informed us that they bought our securities in the ordinary course of business, and that none of these selling stockholders had, at the time of their purchase of our securities, any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such securities.

The following table and footnote disclosure following the table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the nature of any position, office or other material relationship, if any, that the selling stockholder has had within the past three years with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder before this offering. The number of shares reflected are those beneficially owned, as determined under applicable rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under applicable SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after October 1, 2015 through the exercise of any option, warrant or right or through the conversion of any convertible security. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that each of the selling stockholders named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned.

We have assumed that all shares of common stock reflected in the table as being offered in the offering covered by this prospectus will be sold from time to time in this offering. We cannot provide an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering covered by this prospectus because the selling stockholders may offer some, all or none of their shares of common stock being offered in the offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

 

    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

    through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;

 

    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

    privately negotiated transactions;

 

    through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

    broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

    a combination of any such methods of disposition; and

 

    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of these provisions, including the requirements of Rule 144(i) applicable to former “shell companies.”

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such

broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act and the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

We have advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock offered by the selling stockholders.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) the date that is two years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC and (b) the date on which all the securities registered hereunder have been sold under this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There currently is a limited public market for our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We are registering the shares of common stock issued or issuable to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. We may, however, receive proceeds from warrants exercised by selling stockholders in the event that such warrants are exercised for cash.

We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our common stock being offered for resale hereunder by the selling stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we had 38,200,088 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends of such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time may determine. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. The common stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the common stock after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of common stock is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Holders of common stock purchased in the Private Placement have anti-dilution protection with respect to such shares such that, if within 180 days after the initial closing date of July 23, 2015, we issue additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents (subject to customary exceptions, including but not limited to shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to an acquisition, joint venture or technology license agreement, securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with credit arrangements, equipment financings, lease arrangements, etc., in the aggregate not exceeding 5% of the common stock outstanding, issuances of awards under the 2015 Plan) for a consideration per share less than the Private Placement offering price of $5.00 per share, each such investor will be entitled to receive from us additional shares of common stock in an amount such that, when added to the number of shares of common stock initially purchased by such investor and still held of record and beneficially owned by such investor at the time of the dilutive issuance, will equal the number of shares of common stock that such investor’s Private Placement subscription amount for the previously held shares would have purchased at the lower price. Holders of a majority of the then previously held shares may waive the anti-dilution right of all Private Placement investors with respect to a particular issuance.

Preferred Stock

Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our board of directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the board of directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the preferred stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any preferred stock designation.

While we do not currently have any plans for the issuance of additional preferred stock, the issuance of such preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the value of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock; however, these effects may include:

 

    Restricting dividends on the common stock;

 

72


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
    Diluting the voting power of the common stock;

 

    Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or

 

    Delaying or preventing a change in control of the company without further action by the stockholders.

Other than in connection with shares of preferred stock (as explained above), which preferred stock is not currently designated nor contemplated by us, we do not believe that any provision of our amended and restated charter or bylaws would delay, defer or prevent a change in control.

Warrants

As of the date hereof:

 

    the Placement Agent Warrants entitle their holders to purchase 198,760 shares of common stock, with a term of five years and an exercise price of $5.00 per share; and

 

    other warrants entitle their holder to purchase 128,231 shares of common stock, expiring on December 16, 2023 and with an exercise price of $5.85 per share.

The Placement Agent Warrants contain “weighted average” anti-dilution protection in the event that we issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price lower than the subject warrant’s exercise price, subject to certain customary exceptions, as well as customary provisions for adjustment in the event of stock splits, subdivision or combination, mergers, etc.

This summary descriptions of the warrants described above is qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of such warrants filed as an exhibit to this prospectus.

Options

Options to purchase 4,357,180 shares of our common stock that were originally granted under our 2008 Plan to certain of our employees, officers and directors with a weighted average exercise price of $0.80 per share were assumed by us in connection with the Merger. Options to purchase 1,507,147 shares of our common stock have been granted under our 2015 Plan to certain of our employees and officers, with an exercise price of $5.00 per share.

Other Convertible Securities

As of the date hereof, other than the securities described above, the Company does not have any outstanding convertible securities.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Delaware Law

Some provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws that will be in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the price of our common stock.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability

 

73


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person deemed an “interested stockholder” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date such person becomes an interested stockholder unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the price of our common stock.

Undesignated Preferred Stock

The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the company. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the company.

Special Stockholder Meetings

Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, our chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer, or in the absence of a chief executive officer, the president.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.

Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting.

Classified Board; Election and Removal of Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class will serve for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by our stockholders, with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors. In addition, our directors may not be removed without cause, and removal of our directors for cause will require a majority stockholder vote. For more information on the classified board of directors, see the section titled “Management—Board Composition.” This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

Choice of Forum

Our certificate of incorporation will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Amendment of Charter Provisions

The amendment of any of the above provisions, except for the provision making it possible for our board of directors to issue convertible preferred stock, would require approval by holders of at least 66  2 3 % of the voting power of our then outstanding voting stock.

The provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters

For a discussion of liability and indemnification, please see the section titled “Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons—Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters.”

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Globex Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202, Deltona, FL 32725 and its telephone number is 813-344-4490.

Our common stock is currently eligible for quotation for trading on OTC Markets, OTCQB tier of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the ticker symbol “VRAY.” To date, there has been a limited public trading market for our common stock on the OTC Markets. During the year ended December 31, 2014 and during the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2015, there was no market for our common stock. For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock, as reported by the OTC Markets, was $7.50 and $0.15. On December 15, 2015, the last quoted sale price for our common stock as reported on the OTCQB tier was $5.00 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are: (i) outstanding options to purchase 5,763,450 shares of our common stock; (ii) outstanding warrants to purchase 326,991 shares of our common stock; and (iii) 38,200,088 outstanding shares of our common stock, 260,000 of which have been registered under the Securities Act and are freely tradable, 31,275,408 were issued to former stockholders of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. in connection with the Merger, and 5,884,504 of which were issued and sold in the Private Placement.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have 38,200,088 shares of common stock outstanding held by 265 stockholders of record.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

Future sales of our common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, in the public market, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing price for our common stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. As described below, only a limited number of shares of our common stock will be available for sale in the public market for a period of several months after consummation of the Merger due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below. Future sales of our common stock in the public market either before (to the extent permitted) or after restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing price of our common stock at such time and our ability to raise equity capital at a time and price we deem appropriate.

Upon the completion of the Private Placement, we had 38,200,088 shares of common stock outstanding, of which our directors and executive officers beneficially own an aggregate of 24,571,046 shares. Of those outstanding shares, 260,000 shares of our common stock are freely tradeable, without restriction, as of the date of this prospectus. All shares issued in connection with the Merger and the Private Placement were issued as restricted securities, and as such none of those shares can be publicly sold unless and until they become eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or they are registered for resale under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. We are registering under the registration statement for which this prospectus forms a part the shares issued in connection with the Merger and the Private Placement.

Lock-up Agreements

In connection with the Merger, holders of 32,552,131 shares of our common stock have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of the lock-up agreement continuing through the date six months after the date of the Merger, except with our prior written consent.

The foregoing description of the lock-up agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete form of lock-up agreement included as an exhibit to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered in connection with the Private Placement attached as an exhibit to this prospectus, the text of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144(i) promulgated under the Securities Act, sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, under that rule are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from the date on which we filed our “Form 10 information” on our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on July 29, 2015, reflecting our status as a non-shell company and (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. We intend to register such shares for sale under the Securities Act, but are currently a “voluntary filer” and are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As a result, unless we register such shares for sale under the Securities Act, most of our stockholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period before they are eligible to sell those shares, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we and the selling stockholders are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144.

In general, subject to Rule 144(i), Rule 144 provides that (i) any of our non-affiliates that has held restricted common stock for at least 6 months is thereafter entitled to sell its restricted stock freely and without restriction, provided that we remain compliant and current with our SEC reporting obligations, and (ii) any of our affiliates, which includes our directors, executive officers and other person in control of us, that has held restricted common stock for at least 12 months is thereafter entitled to sell its restricted stock subject to the following restrictions: (a) we are compliant and current with our SEC reporting obligations, (b) certain manner of sale provisions are satisfied, (c) a Form 144 is filed with the SEC, and (d) certain volume limitations are satisfied, which limit the sale of shares within any three-month period to a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares. A person who has ceased to be an affiliate at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has owned such shares of common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.

Regulation S

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides that shares owned by any person may be sold without registration in the U.S., provided that the sale is effected in an offshore transaction and no directed selling efforts are made in the U.S. (as these terms are defined in Regulation S), subject to certain other conditions. In general, this means that our shares of common stock may be sold in some other manner outside the U.S. without requiring registration in the U.S.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who acquired common stock from us in connection with a written compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement, in compliance with Rule 701 under the Securities Act, before the effective date of the

Merger (to the extent such common stock is not subject to a lock-up agreement) is entitled to rely on Rule 701 to resell such shares beginning 90 days after we become subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with the holding period requirements contained in Rule 144. Accordingly, subject to any applicable lock-up agreements, beginning 90 days after we become subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, under Rule 701 persons who are not our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144, may resell those shares without complying with the minimum holding period or public information requirements of Rule 144, and persons who are our “affiliates” may resell those shares without compliance with Rule 144’s minimum holding period requirements (subject to the terms of the lock-up agreement referred to above, if applicable).

Registration Rights

In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we have agreed that promptly, but no later than 90 calendar days from the final closing of the Private Placement, the Company will file a registration statement with the SEC, or the Registration Statement, covering (a) the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement, (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, (c) the shares of common stock issued in exchange for the equity securities of ViewRay outstanding prior to the Merger, and (d) shares of common stock held by certain pre-Merger security holders of the Company, or collectively, the Registrable Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Registration Statement is declared effective within 180 calendar days after the final closing of the Private Placement. If the Company is late in filing the Registration Statement, if the Registration Statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the final closing of the Private Placement, the Company fails to maintain the Registration Statement continuously effective as to all Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement or the Company fails to satisfy the current public information as required under Rule 144(c), the Company will make payments to each holder of Registrable Shares as monetary penalties at a rate equal to 12% of the Private Placement Price per annum for each share affected during the period; provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate of any such penalties exceed 5% of the Private Placement Price per share. No monetary penalties will accrue with respect to any Registrable Shares removed from the Registration Statement in response to a comment from the staff of the SEC limiting the number of shares of common stock which may be included in the Registration Statement, or Cutback Comment.

The Company must keep the Registration Statement effective for two years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until (i) the Registrable Shares have been sold in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, or (ii) the Registrable Shares have been previously sold in accordance with Rule 144.

The holders of Registrable Shares (including any shares of common stock removed from the Registration Statement as a result of a Cutback Comment) and the stockholders of the Company prior to the Merger (but not holders of the shares issued to the stockholders of ViewRay in consideration for the Merger) will have “piggyback” registration rights for such Registrable Shares with respect to any registration statement filed by the Company following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement that would permit the inclusion of such shares, subject to customary cutback in an underwritten offering, which would be pro rata.

We will pay all expenses in connection with any registration obligation provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws, and the fees and disbursements of our counsel and of our independent accountants and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the investors, in an amount not to exceed $35,000. Each investor will be responsible for its own sales commissions, if any, transfer taxes and the expenses of any attorney or other advisor such investor decides to employ.

All descriptions of the Registration Rights Agreement herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as an exhibit hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Stock Plans

As soon as practicable after the effective date of this Registration Statement, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock that we may issue (i) upon exercise of outstanding options under the assumed 2008 Plan, and (ii) that are outstanding or reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan and the ESPP. Such registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part becomes effective. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following its effective date, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations and the lock-up agreements described above, if applicable.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this prospectus. The management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this prospectus.

As previously reported, on July 23, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vesuvius Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2015, or the Acquisition Sub, merged with and into ViewRay Technologies, Inc., a corporation incorporated in 2004 in the State of Florida originally under the name of ViewRay Incorporated, subsequently reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 2007. Pursuant to this transaction, or the Merger, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. was the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding capital stock of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. was converted into shares of our common stock, as described in more detail below.

Also as previously reported, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, under the terms of a split-off agreement, or the Split-Off Agreement, and a general release agreement, we transferred all of its pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to its wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, Vesuvius Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, or the Split-Off Subsidiary, formed on July 16, 2015.

In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, we transferred our pre-Merger assets and liabilities to our pre-Merger majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of 4,150,171 shares of our common stock.

As a result of the Merger and Split-Off, we discontinued our pre-Merger business and acquired the business of ViewRay and will continue the existing business operations of ViewRay as a publicly-traded company under the name ViewRay, Inc.

As the result of the Merger and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles the historical financial results of ViewRay, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Merger are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

The following discussion highlights ViewRay’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on ViewRay’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this prospectus which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ViewRay for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, contained herein include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Company Overview

We design, manufacture and market MRIdian, the first and only MRI-guided radiation therapy system to image and treat cancer patients simultaneously. MRI is a broadly used imaging tool that has the ability to differentiate between types of soft tissue clearly, unlike X-ray or computed tomography, or CT, which are the most commonly used imaging technologies in radiation therapy today. MRIdian integrates MRI technology, radiation delivery and our proprietary software to locate, target and track the location and shape of soft-tissue tumors while radiation is delivered. These capabilities allow MRIdian to accurately deliver radiation to the tumor while reducing the amount delivered to healthy tissue, as compared to other radiation therapy treatments today. We believe this leads to improved patient outcomes and reduced side effects from off-target radiation delivery.

We received initial 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA for our treatment planning and delivery software in January 2011 and for MRIdian in May 2012. We also received permission to affix the CE mark in November 2014, allowing MRIdian to be sold within the European Economic Area. At September 30, 2015, patients had received radiation treatment on MRIdian systems at three cancer centers located at Washington University in St. Louis, University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Wisconsin—Madison. In September 2015, Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea became the fourth cancer center and the first international location to operate a MRIdian system. Seoul National University Hospital began treating patients in October 2015.

We currently market MRIdian through a direct sales force in the United States and distributors in the rest of the world. We market MRIdian to a broad range of worldwide customers, including university research and teaching hospitals, community hospitals, private practices, government institutions and freestanding cancer centers. Our sales and revenue cycle varies based on the customer and can be lengthy, sometimes lasting up to 18 to 24 months or more from initial customer contact to sales contract execution. Following execution of a sales contract, it generally takes nine to 12 months for a customer to customize an existing facility or construct a new vault. Upon the commencement of installation at a customer’s facility, it typically takes two to three months to complete the installation and on-site testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test procedures.

We generated product, service and grant revenue of $5.3 million and $2.6 million, and had net losses of $10.3 million and $7.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We generated product, service and grant revenue of $5.8 million and $5.9 million, and had net losses of $30.9 million and $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2015, we had 14 signed orders representing backlog value of $78.0 million.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

 

    add personnel to support our product development and commercialization efforts;

 

    continue our research and development efforts;

 

    seek regulatory approval for MRIdian in foreign countries; and

 

    operate as a public company.

Accordingly, we may seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop enhancements to and integrate new technologies into MRI-guided radiation therapy systems.

Merger

On July 23, 2015, ViewRay, Inc. (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), and ViewRay Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a ViewRay Incorporated), consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. contributed all of their equity interests to ViewRay, Inc. for shares of the ViewRay, Inc.’s common stock and merged with the Company’s subsidiary, which resulted in ViewRay Technologies, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ViewRay, Inc. or the Merger. Effective as of July 23, 2015, ViewRay Inc. amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized common stock to 300,000,000 shares and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share.

Upon closing of the Merger, under the terms of the Split-Off Agreement, dated July 23, 2015 among ViewRay, Inc., ViewRay Technologies, Inc. and Vesuvius Acquisition Sub, Inc., the acquisition subsidiary of Mirax, and a general release agreement dated July 23, 2015, or the General Release Agreement, ViewRay Inc. transferred all of its pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to wholly- owned special-purpose subsidiary incorporated in Nevada, Vesuvius Acquisition Sub, Inc., or the Split-Off Subsidiary. Thereafter, Mirax transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Split-Off Subsidiary to certain pre-Merger insiders of Mirax in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of shares of Mirax common stock held by such persons (the Split-Off).

Together with the Merger, on July 23, 2015, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. effected a 2.975-for-1 stock split of its then outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as “Capital Stock”) and convertible preferred stock warrants, in which (i) each share of outstanding Capital Stock was increased into 2.975 shares of Capital Stock; (ii) the number of outstanding options to purchase each Capital Stock was proportionately increased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; (iii) number of shares reserved for future option grants under the 2008 Plan were proportionately increased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; (iv) the exercise price of each such outstanding option was proportionately decreased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; and (v) each share of outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant was increased into 2.975 shares of convertible preferred stock warrant. All of the share and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 2.975-for-1 stock split.

Private Placement

At the closing of the Merger, ViewRay, Inc. conducted a private placement offering, or the Private Placement, of its securities for $26.2 million through the sale of 5,884,504 shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation, at an offering price of $5.00 per share, net of offering cost. Existing ViewRay investors purchased $17.0 million of shares in the Private Placement. Certain shareholders of Mirax retained, after giving effect to the Split-Off, 1,000,005 shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation upon the Private Placement.

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. ViewRay Technologies, Inc. is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and ViewRay, Inc. is the acquired company under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combination. Consequently, the assets, liabilities and operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. and will be recorded at the historical cost basis, and the condensed consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger will include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. up to the day prior to the closing of the Merger and the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the Merger.

New Orders

New orders are defined as the sum of gross product orders recorded during the period.

Backlog

We define backlog as the accumulation of all orders for which revenue has not been recognized and we consider valid. Backlog includes customer deposits received which are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Orders may be revised or cancelled according to their terms or upon mutual agreement between the parties. Therefore, it is difficult to predict with certainty the amount of backlog that will ultimately result in revenue. The determination of backlog includes objective and subjective judgment about the likelihood of an order contract becoming revenue. We perform a quarterly review of backlog to verify that outstanding orders in backlog remain valid, and based upon this review, orders that are no longer expected to result in revenue are removed from backlog. Our criteria include an outstanding and effective written agreement for the delivery of a MRIdian signed by customers, receipt of a minimum customer deposit or a letter of credit, any changes in customer or distributor plans or financial conditions, the customer’s or distributor’s continued intent and ability to fulfill the order contract, changes to regulatory requirements, the status of regulatory approval required in the customer’s jurisdiction, if any, or reasons for cancellation of order contracts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, our new orders were $28.8 million and $37.6 million, respectively. At September 30, 2015, we had 14 signed sales contracts for MRIdian systems in backlog with a total value of $78.0 million. At December 31, 2014, we had 10 signed sales contracts for MRIdian systems in backlog with a total value of $54.7 million.

Components of Statements of Operations

Revenue

Product Revenue. Product revenue consists of sales of MRIdian systems, as well as optional components, such as additional planning workstations and body coils.

Following execution of a sales contract, it generally takes nine to 12 months for a customer to customize an existing facility or construct a new vault. Upon the commencement of installation at a customer’s facility, it typically takes two to three months to complete the installation and on-site testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test procedures. On-site training takes approximately one week and can be conducted concurrent with installation and acceptance testing. Sales contracts generally include customer deposits upon execution of the agreement, and in certain cases, additional amounts due at shipment or commencement of installation, and final payment due generally upon customer acceptance.

Service Revenue. We generally offer maintenance service at no cost to customers to cover parts, labor and maintenance for one to two years. In addition, we offer multi-year, post-installation maintenance and support contracts that provide various levels of service support, which enables our customers to select the level of on-going support services, including parts and labor, which they require. These post-installation contracts are for a period of one to five years and provide services ranging from 24/7 on-site parts, labor and preventative maintenance to labor only with a longer response time. We also offer technology upgrades to our MRIdian systems, when and if available, for an additional fee. Service revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term during which the contracted services are provided.

Grant Revenue. On December 15, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the county redevelopment fund in the State of Ohio for a loan of up to $800 thousand to fund the renovation of the Company’s Ohio headquarters. The loan, which bore interest at 6% annually through the maturity date of December 31, 2009, is secured by the Company’s leasehold improvements. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the lender may forgive $240 thousand if the Company meets certain permanent job creation

requirements within the State of Ohio. In July 2010, $560 thousand of principal and accrued interest through the loan maturity date were repaid. In September 2015, the $240 thousand was forgiven and was recognized as grant revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Cost of Revenue

Product Cost of Revenue. Product cost of revenue primarily consists of the cost of materials, installation and services associated with the manufacture and installation of MRIdian systems, as well as medical device excise tax and royalty payments to the University of Florida Research Foundation. Product cost of revenue also includes lower of cost or market inventory, or LCM, adjustments if the carrying value of the inventory is greater than its net realizable value. For strategic reasons, we sold our initial MRIdian systems prior to the receipt of FDA marketing clearance at prices lower than our projected costs to manufacture and install. As we accumulated materials, installation and other costs for these systems, we regularly assessed the carrying value of the related inventory value and recorded charges, or LCM adjustments, to reduce inventory to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The remaining realizable value of inventory was charged to product cost of revenue as those initial sites were completed and accepted. This resulted in LCM charges of $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. LCM charges were higher in 2014 since the majority of the LCM charges related to the two MRIdian systems installed in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were already recorded in 2013 when the systems were built.

We expect our materials, installation and service costs to decrease as we continue to scale our operations, improve product designs and work with our third-party suppliers to lower costs.

Service Cost of Revenue. Service cost of revenue is comprised primarily of personnel costs, training and travel expenses to service and maintenance of installed MRIdian systems. Service cost of revenue also includes the costs of replacement parts under maintenance and support contracts.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel. Other significant research and development costs arise from development, manufacturing and commercialization of MRIdian. These costs consist of third-party consulting services, laboratory supplies, research materials, medical equipment, computer equipment and licensed technology, and related depreciation and amortization. We expense research and development expenses as incurred. As we continue to invest in improving MRIdian and developing new technologies, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars.

Selling and Marketing . Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel associated with our selling and marketing organization, including our direct sales force and sales management and our marketing and customer support personnel. Selling and marketing expenses also include costs related to trade shows and marketing programs. We expense selling and marketing costs as incurred. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase in future periods as we expand our sales force and our marketing and customer support organization and increase our participation in trade shows and marketing programs.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel, for our finance, human resources, regulatory and other administrative personnel. In addition, general and administrative expenses include third-party consulting, legal, audit, accounting services, quality and regulatory functions and facilities costs, and gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars following the consummation of the Merger due to additional legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company, as well as other costs associated with growing our business.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest income received on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest and amortization of the debt discount related to our long-term debt entered in 2013 with Hercules Technology III, L.P. and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., or together, Hercules, convertible promissory notes issued in 2014 and, long-term debt entered in 2015 with Capital Royalty II L.P and Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P., or together, CRG.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses and changes in the fair value of a convertible preferred stock warrant.

The outstanding convertible stock warrant is re-measured to fair value at each balance sheet date with the corresponding gain or loss from the adjustment recorded as a component of other income (expense), net. In July 2015, upon the closing of the Merger, the convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock. The aggregate fair value of these warrants upon the closing of the Merger was reclassified from liabilities to common stock additional paid-in-capital, a component of stockholder’s equity (deficit), and we ceased recording further related periodic fair value.

Total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $0.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to one system installed during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 at full price, compared to two systems installed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 at discounted prices.

Product Revenue. Product revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $0.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was due to one MRIdian system sold to Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the sale of two MRIdian systems to University of California, Los Angeles and to University of Wisconsin-Madison during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which were both at discounted prices.

Service Revenue. Service revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was due to a higher number of months of amortization of maintenance service revenue recognized for additional MRIdian system installed at each of University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Wisconsin-Madison during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Grant Revenue. Grant revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was due to the Company’s note payable to the county redevelopment fund in the State of Ohio being forgiven based on meeting certain employment requirements in July 2015 and was recognized as grant revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Product Cost of Revenue. Product cost of revenue decreased $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was due to one MRIdian system sold to Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the sale of MRIdian to University of California, Los Angeles and to University of Wisconsin-Madison during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Portion of the LCM charges as product cost of revenue for University of California, Los Angeles and University of Wisconsin-Madison were also recorded in 2013.

Service Cost of Revenue. Service cost of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $1.0 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in service cost of revenue was due to the provision of services for the MRIdian system installed at Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 remained comparable to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $0.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in trade show and public relationship expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as majority of the trade shows in 2015 will take place in the last quarter as compared to in the third quarter in 2014, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in consulting activities as a result of engaging more consulting services for roadshow preparation and other marketing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $6.4 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million write-off of deferred IPO financing costs in June 2015, a $2.0 million increase in personnel and related costs as a result of higher employee headcount, a $0.7 million increase in facility costs as we leased new office space in September 2014, a $0.4 million increase in accounting and legal fees related to our originally planned IPO and reverse merger activities, and a $0.3 million increase in consulting expenses as a result of engaging more consulting services during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Total revenue in 2014 increased $3.2 million compared to 2013, primarily due to an increase in product revenue of $3.7 million and an increase in service revenue of $0.4 million, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in grant revenue due to expiration of the Grant Agreement with the State of Ohio in 2013.

Product Revenue.  Product revenue in 2014 increased $3.7 million compared to 2013. This increase was due to the acceptance of a MRIdian system at each of University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Wisconsin—Madison in 2014, partially offset by the acceptance of a MRIdian system at Washington University in St. Louis in 2013.

Service Revenue.  Service revenue in 2014 increased $0.4 million compared to 2013. This increase was due to maintenance service revenue recognized for the MRIdian system installed at Washington University in St. Louis in 2013 and the MRIdian system installed at each of University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Wisconsin—Madison in 2014.

Product Cost of Revenue.  The change in product cost of revenue in 2014 was insignificant compared to 2013. Product cost of revenue in 2013 consisted of $3.6 million in inventory costs related to customer acceptance of a MRIdian system at Washington University in St. Louis and LCM adjustments of $4.6 million. In 2014, product cost of revenue consisted primarily of the release of inventory costs of $5.6 million for accepted MRIdian systems at University of California, Los Angeles and University of Wisconsin—Madison, additional site preparation and installation costs incurred in 2014 of $2.0 million and LCM adjustments of $0.6 million. The LCM adjustments in 2014 decreased $4.0 million compared to 2013 as a result of increase in the selling prices of our MRIdian system and decrease in our product costs through a continued effort to improve product design and supply chain management.

We currently expect that margins on current orders will continue this trend and show improvements from historic margins. We expect to achieve cost savings of approximately $1.0 million per current system from the initial MRIdian systems installed in 2013 and 2014. We believe that the combination of higher system prices and lower projected inventory costs as we increase our sales volume and leverage our supplier relationships will enable us to continue to improve our margins.

Service Cost of Revenue.  Service cost of revenue in 2014 increased $0.9 million, compared to 2013. The increase in service cost of revenue was due to the provisioning of services for the MRIdian system installed at each of Washington University in St. Louis, University of California, Los Angeles and University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses in 2014 increased $0.6 million, or 7%, compared to 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a $0.7 million increase in project material costs and a $0.2 million increase in travel expenses, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in grant project contractor expense due to the expiration of the State of Ohio grant in April 2013.

Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses in 2014 increased $0.9 million, or 24%, compared to 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million increase in travel-related expenses to promote international sales, a $0.2 million increase in trade show expenses, a $0.2 million increase in public relations and website redesign expenses and a $0.1 million increase in marketing consultant expenses.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses in 2014 increased $5.2 million, or 55%, compared to 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million increase in accounting and legal fees, a $1.2 million increase in travel expenses, a $1.2 million increase in personnel and related costs as a result of higher employee headcount, and a $1.0 million increase in regulatory consulting expenses. The change was also attributable to a $0.5 million increase in rent and facility expenses due to our new office lease in Mountain View, California, which commenced during the third quarter of 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since ViewRay’s inception in 2004 as a Florida corporation, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. During 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had net losses of $33.8 million and $30.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $152.0 million and $182.9 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.1 million and $32.1 million, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations principally through private placements of ViewRay’s common stock, private placements of ViewRay’s convertible preferred stock, issuances of convertible promissory notes, issuances of term loans and receipts of customer deposits for new orders and payments from customers for systems installed. We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash receipts from sales of MRIdian systems, the net proceeds from the Private Placement and the additional available draw down from the CRG Term Loan, will enable us to conduct our planned operations for at least the next 12 months.

We could potentially use our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect, and we may incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, although we anticipate being able to obtain additional financing through non-dilutive means, we may be unable to do so. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Operating Activities

We have historically experienced negative cash outflows as we developed MRIdian and continued to expand our business. Our net cash used in operating activities primarily results from our net loss adjusted for non-cash expenses and changes in working capital components as we have grown our business, and is influenced by the timing of cash payments for inventory purchase and cash receipts from our customers. Our primary source of cash flow from operating activities is cash receipts from customers including sales of MRIdian systems and, to a lesser extent, by up-front payments from customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are amounts due to vendors for purchased components and employee-related expenditures. Our cash flows from operating activities will continue to be affected principally by our working capital requirements and the extent to which we collect cash receipts from our customers, build up our inventory balances, increase spending on personnel and other operating activities as our business grows.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, operating activities used $31.3 million in cash, primarily as a result of our net loss of $30.9 million and $6.3 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by aggregate non-cash charges of $5.9 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of decrease in accounts payable, purchase of inventory and making prepaid payments on inventory components, offset by increase in customer deposits and deferred revenue, and accounts receivable. The $6.0 million decrease in accounts payable was the result of timing of payments as a result of the growth in our business. The $2.4 million increase in inventory and $2.2 million increase in deposits on purchased inventory were due to installations of MRIdian systems. The decrease in our operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by $3.6 million increase in customer deposits and deferred revenue primarily due to new sales contracts entered, and $0.9 million cash receipts from accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Non-cash charges primarily included $2.9 million write-off of deferred offering cost, $1.0 million inventory lower of cost or market charges related to expected MRIdian system installation in Korea, $0.9 million of depreciation and amortization charges, $0.6 million for amortization of debt discount and accrued interest related to our debt incurred in December 2013 and June 2015, and $0.5 million for stock-based compensation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, operating activities used $27.2 million in cash, primarily as a result of our net loss of $24.2 million and a $4.7 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities, which was partially offset by aggregate non-cash charges of $1.7 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of higher accounts receivables balances and increased purchases of inventory, offset by higher customer deposits and increases in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable of $2.0 million and customer deposits of $2.1 million was primarily due to revenue and new sales order growth in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in inventory of $3.0 million and deposits on purchased components of $1.4 million was primarily due to installations of MRIdian systems. The decrease of $0.6 million in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities was mainly due to $1.5 million payment of our accrued purchase commitments, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities attributable to higher accrued personnel costs due to growth in headcount, higher accrued sales tax and medical device exercise tax liabilities, and increase in accrued interest as a result of debt incurred in December 2013. Non-cash charges primarily included $0.7 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.3 million in stock-based compensation and $0.6 million of LCM adjustments related to the reduction of the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value.

During 2014, operating activities used $27.5 million in cash, primarily as a result of our net loss of $33.8 million offset by $4.0 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities, and aggregate non-cash charges of $2.3 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of higher accounts payable, customer deposits and deferred revenue balances, offset by higher deferred costs and accounts receivable balances, increased purchases of inventory, and decreases in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities. The increase in accounts payable of $3.2 million was due to timing of payments as a result of the growth in our business. The increase in accounts receivable of $0.7 million and the increase in customer deposits and deferred revenue of $10.1 million was primarily due to revenue and new sales order growth in 2014. These changes were offset by a $4.7 million increase in deferred costs and a $3.8 million increase in inventory and deposits on purchased inventory due to installations of MRIdian systems. The decrease of $0.2 million in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities was mainly due to $1.5 million payment of our accrued purchase commitments, offset by a $1.3 million increase in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities attributable to higher accrued personnel costs due to growth in headcount, higher accrued sales tax and medical device excise tax liabilities, and increase in accrued interest as a result of debt incurred in December 2013. Non-cash charges primarily included $1.0 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.3 million for stock-based compensation, $0.6 million of LCM adjustments related to the reduction of the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value and $0.4 million for amortization of debt discount and accrued interest related to our 2014 convertible promissory notes and debt incurred in December 2013.

During 2013, operating activities used $25.4 million in cash, primarily as a result of our net loss of $27.2 million and a $4.3 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities, which was partially offset by aggregate non-cash charges of $6.1 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of increased purchases of inventory and lower accounts payable, offset by increase in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities. The increase in inventory of $5.2 million and deposits on purchased components of $0.9 million was mainly due to the installation of MRIdian systems. The decrease in accounts payable of $0.7 million was due to timing differences in making payments when compared to December 31, 2012. These changes were offset by a $2.1 million increase in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities attributable to higher accrued personnel costs due to growth in headcount. Non-cash charges primarily included $1.1 million for depreciation and amortization and $4.6 million of LCM adjustments related to the reduction of the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $2.4 million primarily resulted from capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment.

Cash used in investing activities during 2014 of $2.6 million primarily resulted from capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment of $2.0 million and an increase in restricted cash of $0.6 million.

Cash used in investing activities during 2013 of $1.6 million primarily resulted from capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment of $1.2 million and to purchase an intellectual property license of $0.5 million.

Financing Activities

On June 26, 2015, we entered into a Term Loan Agreement, or the Term Loan, with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P and Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P., or together, CRG, for up to $50.0 million of which $30.0 million was made available to us upon closing with the remaining $20.0 million to be available on or before June 26, 2016 at our option the occurrence of either (i) an initial public offering of our common stock on a nationally recognized securities exchange that raises a minimum of $40.0 million in net cash proceeds with a minimum of $120.0 million post-money valuation, or Qualifying IPO, or (ii) the achievement of a minimum of $25.0 million gross revenue from the sales of the MRIdian system during any consecutive 12 months before March 31, 2016. We drew down the first $30.0 million on closing date. The Term Loan has a maturity date of June 26, 2020 (i.e., 5 years) and bears cash interest at a rate of 12.50% per annum to be paid quarterly during the first 3 years, or the interest-payment-only period. The interest-payment-only period can be extended for another year till June 26, 2019 if we complete a Qualifying IPO on or before June 26, 2018. During the interest-payment-only period, we have the option to elect to pay only 8% of the 12.5% per annum interest in cash, and the remaining 4.5% of the 12.5% per annum interest as compounded interest, or deferred payment in-kind interest, added to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. Principal payment and any deferred payment in-kind interest will be paid quarterly in equal installments following the end of the interest-payment-only period through maturity date.

The Term Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty of 3% on the outstanding balance during the first 12 months following the funding of the Term Loan, 2% on the outstanding balance after year 1 but on or before year 2, 1% on the outstanding balance after year 2 but on or before year 3, and 0% on the outstanding loan if prepaid after year 3 thereafter until maturity. The Term Loan is also subject to a facility fee of 5% based on the sum of the Term Loan drawn and any outstanding payment in-kind payable on maturity date or the date such Term Loan becomes due for whatever reason. All direct financing costs were accounted for as a discount on the Term Loan and will be amortized to interest expense during the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. The Term Loan is subject to financial covenants and is collateralized by essentially all our assets and limits the Company’s ability with respect to additional indebtedness, investments or dividends, among other things, subject to customary exceptions.

On June 26, 2015, the Company paid off in full the $15.0 million outstanding term debt with Hercules using part of the proceeds received from the CRG Term Loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, financing activities provided $54.6 million in cash primarily from the net proceeds of $27.4 million related to the draw-down of long-term debt, net of debt discount, $27.1 million from the net proceeds from the Private Placement and $15.7 million from proceeds from issuance of Series C convertible preferred stock, which was partially offset by $15.0 million payments of term loan and $0.6 million payment of costs related to the initial public offering.

During 2014, financing activities provided $14.7 million in cash primarily from the net proceeds related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $9.9 million and net proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock of $5.0 million.

During 2013, financing activities provided $49.4 million in cash from the net proceeds related to the issuance of convertible preferred stock of $34.9 million, net of issuance costs, and net proceeds of $14.5 million related to the term loan we entered into with Hercules in December 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by applicable SEC regulations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition for systems that we install generally occurs when the customer acknowledges that the system operates in accordance with our standard product specifications, the customer accepts the installed unit and we transfer title and risk of loss to the customer. Service revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term during which contracted services are provided. We use judgment to estimate revenue allocations from sales arrangements with multiple deliverables between the product and service revenue. In situations where a deliverable in a multi-element arrangement has a value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, we are required to allocate the fair value of the various elements based on the selling price of each element. The principal deliverables consist of (i) sale of MRIdian systems, which generally includes installation, site preparation and software, and (ii) product support, which includes extended service and maintenance. We determine selling prices using vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, if it exists, or third-party evidence, or TPE. If neither VSOE or TPE exists for a deliverable, we use best estimated selling price, or BESP. We allocate revenue to multiple elements generally using the relative fair values as determined by BESP. We regularly review VSOE, TPE and BESP for all of our products and services.

We also receive payments for cost reimbursement of allowable expenditures and payments for the achievement of certain milestones under government grants in return for qualifying property and equity purchases and research and development activities over a contractually defined period. These payments are nonrefundable. Government grants generally provide us with fixed payments and a contractually defined period of research. Grant revenues are recognized as associated expenses incurred and are billed to grantors in conjunction with the terms of the grants.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured and recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four years. At September 30, 2015, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $5.6 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

Our use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Common Stock Warrant

In December 2013 in connection with the Term Loan, we issued a warrant to Hercules to purchase 128,231 shares of our preferred stock with an exercise price of $5.85 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which were converted to warrant to purchase our common stock upon the closing of the Merger in July 2015. This warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to the expiration date of the warrant, which is the later of (i) December 16, 2023 and (ii) the date that is five years following the effective date of the registration statement of an initial underwritten public offering of our common stock.

Prior to the Merger, the preferred stock warrant is recorded as preferred stock warrant liability and adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date, with the change in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Upon the closing of the Merger on July 23, 2015, all shares of Series C convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock, and the warrant to purchase Series C convertible preferred stock was converted into the warrant to purchase 128,231 shares of our common stock. Fair value of these warrants at the closing date were transferred into common stock additional paid-in capital, and we ceased to adjust the fair value of the converted common stock warrants.

Related to the Private Placement, the Company issued 198,760 shares of common stock warrants at an exercise price of $5.00 per share to private placement agents as payment for services provided in July and August 2015. These placement agent warrants are exercisable at any time at the option of the holder until the five year anniversary of its date of issuance. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of each placement warrant is adjustable in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares and similar transactions. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price of the warrants issued are payable by the holders in cash.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists primarily of purchased components for assembling MRIdian systems and other direct costs associated with MRIdian system installation. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. When the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than related costs, we reduce the carrying value of the inventory for the difference while recording a corresponding charge to cost of product revenues. The assumptions we used in estimating the net realizable value of the inventory primarily include the total cost to complete the applicable MRIdian system. We recorded an inventory lower of cost and market adjustment of $1.0 million and $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Prior to January 1, 2015, our inventory cost is measured on a first-in, first-out basis through specific identification. To support the increasing MRIdian system installations and inventory purchase activities, starting January 1, 2015, we elected to change inventory cost measurement to weighted average basis. The accounting principle change does not have an impact on prior periods’ financial statements, therefore no retrospective adjustment is required. The accounting principle change does not have an impact on product cost of revenue or net loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, and we use estimates in determining our provision for income taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we calculate deferred tax asset or liability account balances at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect our taxable income.

We estimate actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differences in accounting for reporting purposes and tax purposes for certain items, such as accruals and allowances not currently deductible for tax purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In general, deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws or when net operating loss or credit carryforwards are utilized. Accordingly, realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions, losses and credit carryforwards can be utilized.

We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, establish a valuation allowance. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have a full valuation allowance set up for our net deferred tax assets.

Under federal and similar state tax statutes, changes in our ownership, including ownership changes resulting from the Merger, may limit our ability to use our available net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The annual limitation, as a result of a change of ownership, may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. We believe we have experienced at least one ownership change in the past. We are currently analyzing the tax impact of such ownership change on our federal NOLs and credit carryforwards. Our ability to use our remaining net operating loss carryforwards may be further limited if we experience an ownership change or as a result of future changes in our stock ownership.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would

otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We review new accounting standards to determine the expected financial impact, if any, that the adoption of each such standard will have. For the recently issued accounting standards that we believe may have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see the section entitled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the condensed consolidated financial statement.

Company Overview

We design, manufacture and market MRIdian, the first and only MRI-guided radiation therapy system that images and treats cancer patients simultaneously. MRI is a broadly used imaging tool which has the ability to differentiate between types of soft tissue clearly, unlike X-ray or computed tomography, or CT, the most commonly used imaging technologies in radiation therapy today. MRIdian integrates MRI technology, radiation delivery and our proprietary software to locate, target and track the position and shape of soft-tissue tumors while radiation is delivered. These capabilities allow MRIdian to deliver radiation to the tumor accurately while delivering less radiation to healthy tissue than existing radiation therapy treatments. We believe this innovation leads to improved patient outcomes and reduced side effects from off-target radiation delivery. We received 510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for MRIdian in May 2012 and received permission to affix the CE mark in November 2014. Patients are actively receiving treatment on MRIdian systems at three cancer centers.

Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and the second leading cause of death in the United States. Radiation therapy is a common method used to treat cancer that uses lethal doses of ionizing energy to damage genetic material in cells. Nearly two-thirds of all treated cancer patients in the United States will receive some form of radiation therapy during the course of their illness, according to estimates by the American Society for Radiation Oncology, or ASTRO. In 2013, IMV Medical Information Division, Inc., or IMV, reported that 93% of patients receiving radiation therapy in the United States were treated by a linear accelerator, or linac. The global linac market was $2.8 billion in 2011 and was expected to grow to $3.7 billion by 2016 according to a 2012 Markets and Markets report. IAEA Human Health Campus reported that there are over 11,000 linacs installed at over 7,500 centers worldwide. We believe the addressable market for MRIdian is the annual market for linacs due to MRIdian’s ability to treat a broad spectrum of disease sites. However, we believe that MRIdian may be used more frequently for complex cancer cases that may be difficult to treat on a standard linac due to the location of the tumor in relation to the surrounding soft tissues. We currently estimate the annual market for linacs to be 1,100 units per year globally, the majority of which are replacement units.

Despite the prevalence of MRI for diagnostic purposes and its ability to image soft tissue clearly, the radiation therapy industry has been unable to integrate MRI into external-beam radiation therapy systems. Existing radiation therapy systems use X-ray-based imaging technologies, such as CT, which cannot differentiate between types of soft tissue or provide an accurate visualization of a tumor and its position in relation to critical organs. In addition, existing systems that offer imaging during the course of a treatment are limited by the rate at which they can image due to the level of radiation to which they expose the patient. These constraints make it difficult for a

clinician to locate a tumor accurately, track its motion in real-time or adapt treatment as anatomy changes. It is very difficult to irradiate a tumor while minimizing the amount of radiation hitting critical organs without the ability to see the tumor’s exact location and shape. If a tumor is insufficiently irradiated, it may not respond to treatment, resulting in a lower probability of survival for the patient. If organs and other healthy soft tissues are irradiated, side effects can be severe, including organ failure and secondary cancers.

MRIdian is a next-generation, radiation therapy solution that enables treatment and real-time imaging of a patient’s anatomy simultaneously. The high-quality images that it generates clearly differentiate the targeted tumor, surrounding soft tissue and nearby critical organs. MRIdian also records the level of radiation dose that the treatment area has received, enabling physicians to adapt the prescription between treatments as needed. We believe this improved visualization and accurate dose recording will enable better treatment, improve patient outcomes and reduce side effects. Key benefits to users and patients include improved imaging and patient alignment, on-table adaptive treatment planning, motion management and an accurate recording of the delivered radiation dose. Physicians have already used MRIdian to treat a broad spectrum of radiation therapy patients with more than 20 different types of cancer, as well as patients for whom radiation therapy was previously not an option.

We currently market MRIdian through a direct sales force in the United States and distributors in the rest of the world. At September 30, 2015, we had four MRIdian systems installed and had 14 signed orders for new systems for a backlog value of $78.0 million. We generated revenue of $5.8 million and $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and had net losses of $30.9 million and $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. We generated revenue of $3.2 million in 2013 and $6.4 million in 2014 and had net losses of $27.2 million in 2013 and $33.8 million in 2014.

Cancer and Radiation Therapy Market

Incidence of Cancer

Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and the second leading cause of death in the United States behind cardiovascular disease. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 1.6 million people were expected to be diagnosed with cancer in the United States during 2014 and approximately 0.6 million were expected to die from cancer, accounting for nearly one of every four deaths. As a result of a growing and aging population, The World Health Organization’s (the “WHO”), Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development estimates that the number of new cancer cases worldwide will grow from 14.1 million in 2008 to 19.3 million in 2025.

Cancer Therapy

The primary goal of cancer therapy is to kill cancerous tissues while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. There are three main ways to treat cancer: surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Surgery attempts to physically remove the tumor from the body, while minimizing trauma to healthy tissue and preventing the spread or translocation of the disease to other parts of the body. Surgery is particularly effective because the surgeon can directly observe the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue throughout the course of the procedure and adapt his or her plan mid-procedure accordingly. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike surgery, most forms of chemotherapy circulate systemically to reach cancer cells almost anywhere in the body. Chemotherapy is most effective at destroying microscopic levels of disease. Radiation is used to damage genetic material in cells with a lethal dose of ionizing energy. Effective radiation therapy balances destroying cancer cells with minimizing damage to normal cells. It can be used at high doses to ablate a tumor, an effect similar to surgery, or at moderate doses to target local microscopic disease, as is done with chemotherapy. Other, more recently developed ways of treating cancer include hormone therapy and targeted therapy, such as immunotherapy.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy has become widespread, with nearly two-thirds of all treated cancer patients in the United States receiving some form of radiation therapy during the course of their treatment, according to estimates by ASTRO. For most cancer types treated with radiation therapy, at least 75% of the patients are treated with the intent to cure the cancer. For lung and brain cancers, that number is somewhat lower, with 59% of lung cancer patients and 50% of brain cancer patients being treated with the goal of curing cancer. The remainder of cases are treated with palliative intent to relieve pain. Radiation therapy is a non-invasive outpatient procedure with little or no recovery time and can be used on patients who are inoperable. According to IMV, 93% of patients receiving radiation therapy in the United States are treated using a linac.

Radiation is used to kill cancer cells primarily by damaging their DNA, but can also kill healthy cells in the same way or cause them to become cancerous themselves. As a result, the goal of curative radiation therapy is to balance delivery of a sufficiently high dose of radiation to a tumor to kill the cancer cells while, at the same time, minimizing damage to healthy cells, particularly those in critical organs. Normal cells are better able to repair themselves after radiation than tumor cells, so doses of radiation are often fractionated, or delivered in separate sessions with rest periods in between. As a result, standard radiation therapy is often given once a day, five times a week, for one to seven weeks. In 2012, patients made an estimated 20.9 million radiation therapy treatment visits in the United States.

Radiation Therapy Equipment Market

The global linac market was $2.8 billion in 2011 and was expected to grow to $3.7 billion by 2016 according to a 2012 Markets and Markets report. According to IAEA Human Health Campus, there are 11,000 linacs installed at over 7,500 centers worldwide. In the United States, there are 3,800 linacs installed at over 2,500 centers. The annual market for linacs is estimated to be 1,100 units per year globally, the majority of which are replacement units.

In the radiation therapy market, new technologies have historically been adopted at a rapid rate. According to IMV, the percentage of centers performing intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, grew from 30% in 2002 to 96% in 2012. The percentage of sites utilizing image guided radiation therapy, or IGRT, grew more quickly: from 15% in 2004 to 83% in 2012. The majority of IGRT uses on-board X-ray systems. As leading cancer centers adopt and study MRI-guided radiation therapy, we believe that our next-generation system will also follow a rapid adoption curve among the broader linac replacement market.

Radiation Therapy Treatment Process

Following diagnosis of the disease state, radiation treatment generally consists of the following steps.

 

    Imaging and tumor contouring. To design the treatment plan, physicians obtain initial images of the tumor. This is done most commonly using a CT scan, often supplemented by an MRI, a positron emission tomography, or PET, scan, or both. These images, also known as simulation scans, are then imported into a treatment planning software system and aligned to each other. Based on clinical experience, a physician will manually draw, or contour, specific areas on the aligned images to characterize the location and extent of the tumor highlighting the following:

 

    Gross tumor volume, or GTV, a volumetric region encompassing the visible tumor.

 

    Clinical target volume, or CTV, a larger area encompassing the GTV, where the cancer may have already or may be likely to spread.

 

    Planning target volume, or PTV, a further enlarged area to allow for inexact imaging, patient movement during treatment or tumor movement between planning and treatment. The PTV may be sized multiple times larger than the CTV, risking radiation damage to healthy tissue, including in many cases critical organs.

Table of Contents

    Treatment planning and dose prescription. Once the clinician has a three-dimensional map of the tumor, surrounding healthy tissues and nearby critical organs, a physician determines a treatment plan using one of the methods below. Creation of these plans typically takes one to two weeks. A typical curative radiation therapy treatment dose will be delivered over the course of several weeks with 10 to 35 radiation therapy sessions, referred to as fractions, lasting from a few minutes to an hour or more depending on the treatment plan.

 

    3D-CRT planning. Using a method called three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, or 3D-CRT, a clinician will decide what beam angles and shapes to use to target a tumor and how long each beam will irradiate it. A computer will then calculate the potential dose delivered, and a clinician will manually adjust the plan to arrive at an acceptable dose.

 

    IMRT planning. Using a method called intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, a physician will use computer software to optimize a treatment plan to achieve a more precise dose distribution than 3D-CRT by using thousands of beamlets, IMRT has been shown to result in better patient outcomes than 3D-CRT.

 

    SRS and SBRT planning. Stereotactic radiosurgery, or SRS, and stereotactic body radiation therapy, or SBRT, are methods of delivery using 3D-CRT or IMRT designed to deliver high doses of precisely targeted radiation in a reduced number of sessions, usually one to five fractions. SRS is used in brain and spine applications, and has been shown to be particularly effective in those areas, while SBRT is used in the rest of the body, and has been shown to be particularly effective in early-stage lung cancer.

 

    Alignment. Prior to radiation delivery, clinicians typically take images to assist with patient alignment. Most systems use a form of on-board CT called cone-beam CT to image, which delivers inferior contrast and a higher radiation dose than diagnostic CT. A less commonly used imaging technology is fluoroscopy, a real-time 2D X-ray system that can expose a patient to even higher doses of radiation than cone-beam CT. Because of the limited soft tissue contrast of X-ray-based imaging, clinicians often use registration markers such as nearby bone structures or surgically implanted fiducial markers to align patients with the treatment beams. Patients may also be immobilized by restraining devices, or techniques such as respiratory control or abdominal compression, which are employed to minimize motion due to breathing. To track breathing and other body motions during treatment, specific trackers may be used, also known as 4D radiation therapy. Use of any image or registration marker to help with alignment is called image-guided radiation therapy, or IGRT.

 

    Delivery. Based on alignment with these images, markers or other radiation therapy trackers, treatment begins and radiation is delivered to the patient. In some cases, additional 2D X-ray images are taken intermittently or registration makers are monitored during treatment to try to account for tumor movement.

 

    Review. After a treatment session, a physician will review the delivered treatment to ensure that it is proceeding according to plan. Currently, there are no methods to record the actual dose that was delivered to the tumor and nearby critical structures. In those rare occasions when a physician is able to observe changes in the size or shape of a tumor, he or she may decide to adjust the treatment plan. However, revising a treatment plan may take several days and delays treatment.

Limitations of Radiation Therapy

Limitations with radiation therapy arise as a result of imaging technologies that make accurate visualization of a tumor and its relation to critical organs difficult or impossible during treatment. As a result, we believe treatments are not as effective or safe as they could be.

 

   

Inability to accurately locate a tumor for treatment alignment. To locate a tumor, current radiation therapy systems rely on on-table CT scans which are unable to differentiate between types of soft

tissue. Therefore, surrogate registration markers, including existing bone structures, external marks and surgically implanted fiducials, are frequently used to align a patient to the treatment beams prior to commencing treatment.

Comparison of On-Table CT Images to On-Table MRIdian Images

 

LOGO

The spatial relationship between the tumors, particularly those in soft tissue, and registration markers is likely to change between initial imaging and the first treatment session. By relying on a proxy for tumor location rather than the tumor itself, clinicians risk missing the tumor when they deliver treatment beams into a patient’s body. Furthermore, fiducial markers can migrate inside the body, are unable to track changes in the tumor shape, may interfere with imaging, are invasive, require time to heal and have a high incidence of side effects and complications.

 

   

Inability to adapt treatment on table. A physician designs a treatment plan and dose prescription based on images that are captured at the beginning of therapy. Creating a treatment plan can take one to two weeks, and treatment itself can take up to seven weeks. However, during the course of therapy, tumors often change size, orientation or shape and patient anatomy can change for reasons such as weight loss or gain. Adjusting for these changes would require replanning which may take several days and is resource intensive. In addition, due to limitations in imaging technologies, physicians may be unaware

 

101


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
 

of changes in the tumor and surrounding anatomy and continue to dose according to the original treatment plan. As a result of these limitations, replanning is infrequently performed.

 

    Inability to track tumor and organ motion accurately. In addition to difficulty locating a tumor accurately in a patient’s body, a further challenge is accounting for ongoing tumor movement during treatment. Tumors have been shown to move multiple centimeters relative to surrogate registration markers over the course of only a few seconds. Although physicians use internal markers and external cameras and blocks to track respiratory and other motion, they are unable to track the tumor itself and its location relative to other soft tissues. This limitation increases the probability of missing the targeted treatment area. As a result, physicians usually enlarge the total region to be irradiated, causing an additional risk of side effects.

 

    Inability to record cumulative radiation delivered. In order to determine treatment effectiveness, it is important to track how much radiation has been delivered to a tumor or surrounding healthy tissue. Currently, there are no methods to record the actual dose of radiation that was delivered to the tumor and nearby critical structures. Therefore, physicians must assume that the radiation is delivered according to plan, rather than making decisions based on actual dose delivered.

Each of these limitations increases the risk of missing a tumor and hitting healthy tissue during treatment. If a tumor is insufficiently irradiated, it may not respond to treatment, resulting in a lower probability of survival for the patient. The ability to avoid irradiating healthy tissue has been shown to reduce side effects. If healthy tissues, particularly critical organs, are irradiated, the side effects can be severe, including scarring of lung tissue, fibrosis and cardiotoxicity in lung and breast cancers, incontinence and sexual dysfunction in pelvic and prostate cancers, infertility in pediatric cancers, memory loss, seizures and necrosis in brain cancer and secondary cancers.

Although MR technology is an imaging tool broadly used to differentiate between types of soft tissue in diagnostic settings, to date such technology has not been used with radiation therapy because the magnetic field generated by an MRI interferes with the linac’s ability to accelerate electrons and the linac produces radio frequencies that distort the MR images. Current forms of CT have improved over time, but issues with radiation dose and image quality limit the utility of these technologies. Fluoroscopy and cone-beam CT involve the use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, and pose an increased risk of radiation-induced cancer to the patient.

Our Solution

We have developed MRIdian to address the key limitations of existing external-beam radiation therapy technologies. MRIdian employs MRI-based technology to provide real-time imaging that clearly defines the targeted tumor from the surrounding soft tissue and other critical organs during radiation treatment. MRIdian allows physicians to record the level of radiation exposure that the tumor has received and adapt the prescription between fractions as needed. We believe this combination of enhanced visualization and accurate dose recording will significantly improve the safety and efficacy of radiation therapy, leading to better outcomes for patients.

We believe that MRIdian provides the following clinical and commercial benefits to physicians, hospitals and patients:

 

    Improved tumor visibility and patient alignment . The soft-tissue contrast of MRidian’s on-board MRI enables clinicians to locate, target and track the tumor and healthy tissues and accurately align a patient to the treatment beams without the use of X-ray, CT or surrogate registration markers. If the clinician prefers, the software has the ability to automatically map the patient’s soft tissue anatomy each treatment session in less than one minute, and MRIdian can use that information to automatically align the patient.

 

   

On-table adaptive planning . Due to changing anatomy the clinician may be unable to obtain an optimal match between the patient on the table and the treatment plan. Using an MR image captured at

 

102


Table of Contents

the beginning of each therapy session, MRIdian automatically maps the patients’ soft tissue anatomy in 3D and calculates the dose that would be delivered using the current treatment plan. If the prescribed treatment is not clinically acceptable to the physician, MRIdian has the ability to automatically recalculate and adapt the plan to changing anatomy at the time of treatment. Utilizing our proprietary Monte Carlo algorithm and software, replanning can be done in less than two minutes while the patient is on the table. We believe hospitals will be able to bill incrementally for this replanning.

 

    Ability to track tumors and manage patient motion . MRIdian can capture multiple soft-tissue imaging planes concurrently during treatment, refreshing the image multiple times per second. This real-time imaging enables the physician to track the movement of the tumor and the surrounding healthy tissue directly, rather than relying on registration markers such as existing bones or implanted fiducials. If a tumor or critical organ moves beyond a physician-defined boundary, the treatment beam automatically pauses. This beam control becomes especially important in the situations where a tumor may be in close proximity to a critical organ, such as the heart during lung and breast cancer treatments or the rectum during prostate cancer treatments. This knowledge of the tumor location has enabled physicians to treat patients who would not previously have been considered radiation therapy candidates.

 

    Record and evaluate the delivered dose . Using our proprietary algorithm and advanced MR imaging, MRIdian calculates the dose delivered after each treatment, enabling the physician to review and re-optimize the patient’s treatment session if needed. In addition, MRIdian can utilize diagnostic CT images that are fused with the MR images at each treatment in order to more accurately calculate dose. MRIdian also captures and records a video, known as a MRIdian Movie™, of the delivered treatments which can be evaluated by the physician or shared with patients.

 

    Fits into existing treatment paradigms and workflow. MRIdian can be used for 3D-CRT, IMRT, IGRT, SBRT and SRS and can also be used to treat a broad spectrum of disease sites. In addition, we believe MRIdian’s increased target accuracy will allow physicians to treat patients with higher doses over fewer treatment fractions and potentially improve patient throughput and efficiency. MRIdian fits inside most standard radiation therapy vaults without significant modifications and is supported by existing codes that are available for linac reimbursement.

We believe the ability to image with MRI and treat cancer patients simultaneously will lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced side effects from off-target radiation delivery.

Our Strategy

Our objective is to make MRI-guided radiation delivery the standard of care for radiation therapy. To achieve this goal, we intend to do the following:

 

    Target top-tier hospitals in initial global sales efforts to influence and increase market adoption. We intend to market MRIdian to a broad range of customers worldwide, including university research and teaching hospitals, private practices, community hospitals, government institutions and freestanding cancer centers. We are initially focusing on the leading hospitals worldwide which are typically early adopters of best-in-class technology and are able to influence and promote adoption by other centers both locally and globally. We plan to continue to work with these institutions to position MRIdian as a marketing tool they can use to differentiate their offerings from their peers and promote broader market awareness on the benefits of MRI-guided radiation therapy.

 

   

Commercialize MRIdian with a targeted sales force in the United States and through distributors in international markets. We intend to market MRIdian through a combination of direct sales and distributors. We are building a small, specialty sales force for the United States and Canada and are using distributors in international markets. At September 30, 2015, we had six signed orders with U.S. customers and eight signed orders with customers outside the United States for new MRIdian systems, and we intend to continue to expand our presence in key markets to capitalize on the growing

international opportunity for MRIdian. We are engaging distributors and seeking government approval where needed to market MRIdian in China, Japan, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong and Turkey, and we intend to work with distributors and regulators in other countries in the future.

 

    Increase broader awareness of MRIdian’s capabilities to expand our share of the radiation therapy market. We intend to educate radiation oncologists about the capabilities and resulting benefits of MRIdian over traditional radiation therapy systems. In order to drive awareness and adoption, we also intend to support the publication of clinical and scientific data and analysis, work with key opinion leaders, present at leading academic conferences and engage in outreach at leading hospitals worldwide. We also plan to leverage our existing customer network as a reference for new potential users to experience our technology in use in the clinical setting.

 

    Maintain our competitive lead in MRI-guided radiation therapy through continued innovation. We plan to continue to invest in our technology to maintain our leadership position in the emerging MRI-guided radiation therapy market. We intend to develop and introduce enhancements to the system and software to provide improved capabilities for MRIdian users and patients. In addition, we plan to explore potential benefits of integrating our MRI technology with alternative beam technologies. We believe we have a strong intellectual property portfolio that covers the MRIdian system as well as critical design elements and key aspects of its subsystem and components. We will continue to enhance this portfolio as we develop new features and technologies.

 

    Continue to work with leading hospitals to optimize efficiency and patient throughput. We strive to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the MRIdian system for our customers. We plan to continue to work closely with key opinion leaders, clinicians and hospitals in a proactive manner to determine how best to refine and improve MRIdian’s features, optimize workflow and maximize patient throughput. We utilize this customer feedback to guide product development and increase MRIdian’s reliability and efficiency, which we believe will result in positive experiences for our customers and ensure their continued usage and recommendation of MRIdian.

 

    Drive cost reductions in the design and manufacture of MRIdian and improve our margins. We plan to continue to explore ways to bring down our cost of goods to improve margins for MRIdian. We believe we can reduce costs in the design and manufacture of MRIdian.

MRIdian

MRIdian is a next-generation, MRI-guided radiation therapy system that is comprised of four major components, (i) the MRI system, (ii) the radiation delivery system, (iii) integrated treatment planning and delivery software and (iv) a safety and control system.

MRIdian

 

LOGO

MRI System

The MRI system is the component of MRIdian that captures soft tissue images of the patient’s body. To address the technical complications that arise from combining an MRI with a linac, we have designed a proprietary split superconducting magnet that allows treatment through a central gap, eliminating MRI components in the path of the beam. Our MRI system captures and displays live, high-quality images in three planes at two frames per second or in one plane at four frames per second. The images are used to track tissues and control radiation treatment beam delivery.

While other MRI systems in development utilize a high field strength magnet to provide a clearer image, use of higher field strength magnets results in distortions of soft tissue images by up to approximately six millimeters at 1.5 tesla and unfavorable dose distribution distortions, which are unacceptable for delivering accurate radiation therapy.

We have engineered our MRI system to be able to produce clear images using a low field strength 0.35 tesla magnet which enables us to avoid the image and dose distortions that are a result of using a higher field strength magnet. In addition, MRIdian’s 0.35 tesla field strength prevents heating of the patient during uninterrupted imaging, which could occur in a higher field strength magnet requiring the imaging to be discontinued or interrupted.

Radiation Delivery System

Radiation is delivered from three Cobalt-60 radiation therapy heads symmetrically mounted on a rotating ring gantry, providing full 360 degree coverage and simultaneous dose delivery, as opposed to prior Cobalt-60 systems that have historically been limited by imprecise radiation dose applications. Each head is equipped with a double focused multi-leaf collimator, designed to overcome the wide-beam edge of previous-generation Cobalt-60 systems and shape the beam for precision radiation therapy treatments. It allows the delivery of treatment plans for 3D-CRT, IMRT and SBRT that are clinically equivalent to those produced on the most advanced linear accelerators available today. Stereotactic procedures are possible with a positioning accuracy of less than one millimeter. Cobalt-60 is used because it does not create any radio frequency which interferes with the MRI.

Integrated Treatment Planning and Delivery Software

Our treatment planning and delivery software can create treatment plans and manage the treatment delivery process. It is designed to create optimized 3D-CRT, IMRT and SBRT plans for delivery on MRIdian. Using this

software, the on-table adaptive planning process typically takes less than two minutes, and includes: auto-contouring, dose prediction and treatment plan optimization. For contouring, the software will automatically draw the outline of the tumor and nearby organs. The clinician can then make refinements before treatment, if necessary. Dose prediction can be calculated immediately before treatment, allowing the current state of the patient’s anatomy to be taken into account. The software can generate an optimal treatment plan solution in less than one minute, allowing it to re-plan while the patient is on the treatment couch.

MRIdian has soft-tissue tracking beam control capability. While the radiation dose is being delivered, the software analyzes the acquired images and can determine tumor or organ location relative to set tolerances. If the targeted tumor or a critical organ moves beyond a physician-defined boundary, the treatment beams will automatically pause. When the tumor moves back into the target zone, the treatment will automatically resume. Physicians can set both spatial and time thresholds for pausing treatment delivery. This enables the system to account for tumor and patient motion during treatment.

The software archives all the information generated during treatment and builds a database of patient-specific planning, delivery and imaging data. It also includes a review tool which provides clinicians with a visual comparison of the delivered versus planned treatment. At the end of each treatment, the software determines the delivered dose by combining the recorded actions of the radiation delivery system with the daily image and auto-contouring of the patient. With this information, clinicians can fine-tune prescriptions based on the actual dose delivered. In addition, it provides a MRIdian Movie™ of each delivered treatment which can be evaluated by the physician or exported and shared with the patient.

Safety and Control System

In addition to complying with the applicable FDA and Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, requirements, the radiation delivery subsystem also meets a double fault tolerant design standard and has redundant safety systems. If any two components in the radiation delivery subsystem fail simultaneously, such as power and pneumatics, the system reverts to a safe state. MRIdian also contains redundant computer control for safety and system logging and double encoders on all axes of motion for safety. The control system continuously monitors performance to ensure all systems are performing and communicating appropriately.

Installed Base and Clinical Use

We received initial 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA for our treatment planning and delivery software in January 2011 and for MRIdian in May 2012. We also received permission to affix the CE mark in November 2014, allowing MRIdian to be sold within the EEA. We received a license and permission to import MRIdian into the United Arab Emirates in December 2014. We received regulatory approval in Italy in January 2015 and Korea in September 2015, which is required in addition to the CE mark. We are currently seeking government approval to market MRIdian in China, Japan, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong and Turkey. Other countries where we will be seeking approval in the near term are Canada, Egypt and Australia. We may also seek required approvals in other countries in the future.

We have three units installed at three leading cancer centers in the United States including Washington University and Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, or Washington University in St. Louis; University of California, Los Angeles Health System and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, or University of California, Los Angeles; and The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, or the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In January 2014, Washington University in St. Louis, a National Cancer Institute Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, became the first center to treat patients with MRIdian. Washington University in St. Louis is scaling up its use of MRIdian in its clinical practice, and is now treating as many as 15 patients per day. In September 2014, Washington University in St. Louis used MRIdian to perform the first on-table adaptive treatments as part of an ongoing clinical service. Also in September 2014, the University of Wisconsin–Madison treated its first patients with MRIdian and became the first center to employ the soft-tissue

tracking beam control capability unique to MRIdian. In October 2014, University of California, Los Angeles, became the third center to use MRIdian in clinical practice. We are working with each of these centers to determine how best to refine and improve MRIdian’s features, optimize workflow and maximize patient throughput.

At September 30, 2015, patients have received treatment sessions at these centers using MRIdian systems. These included cancers of the prostate, breast, lung, colorectal and bladder, which are among the most prevalent types of cancer in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, as well as the liver, stomach, esophagus and pancreas, which are among the most prevalent types of cancer outside of the United States according to the WHO.

Backlog

In 2013, we executed new sales contracts with a total value of $17.4 million, and in 2014 we executed new sales contracts with a total value of $37.6 million. At September 30, 2015, we had four MRIdian systems installed and had 14 signed orders for new systems for a backlog value of $78.0 million.

We define backlog as the accumulation of all orders for which revenue has not been recognized and we consider valid. Backlog includes customer deposits received which are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Orders may be revised or cancelled according to their terms or upon mutual agreement between the parties. Therefore, it is difficult to predict with certainty the amount of backlog that will ultimately result in revenue. The determination of backlog includes objective and subjective judgment about the likelihood of an order contract becoming revenue. We perform a quarterly review of backlog to verify that outstanding orders in backlog remain valid, and based upon this review, orders that are no longer expected to result in revenue are removed from backlog.

Among other criteria, to consider a sale to be in backlog we must possess an outstanding and effective written agreement for the delivery of a MRIdian signed by the customer, as well as receipt of a minimum customer deposit or letter of credit. For removal of an order from our backlog, the following criteria are considered: changes in customer or distributor plans or financial conditions; the customer’s or distributor’s continued intent and ability to fulfil the order contract; changes to regulatory requirements; the status of regulatory approval required in the customer’s jurisdiction, if any; and other reasons for potential cancellation of order contracts.

Installation Process

Following execution of a contract, it generally takes nine to 12 months for a customer to prepare an existing facility or construct a new vault. Upon the commencement of installation at a customer’s facility, it typically takes two to three months to complete the installation and on-site testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test procedures. MRIdian is designed to fit into a typical radiation therapy vault, similar to other replacement linear accelerators. MRIdian’s components all fit through standard hospital vault entrances for assembly. On-site training takes approximately one week and can be conducted concurrent with installation and acceptance testing.

Our customers are responsible for removing any outgoing linear accelerator and preparing the mounting pad, power and support system connections. Additional room modifications required are consistent with those generally required for MRI systems such as radio frequency shielding of the room and additional power.

Clinical Development

To date, we have primarily relied on clinical symposia and case studies presented at ASTRO and ESTRO to raise awareness of MRI-guided radiation therapy and to market MRIdian to leading cancer centers. In order to promote

 

108


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

broader adoption rates at other cancer centers and hospitals, we plan to work with our customers to collect and publish data on clinical efficacy, treatment times and clinical results for patients who have been treated on a MRIdian. While we do not currently have statistically significant, objective evidence that MRIdian improves patient outcomes or decreases healthcare costs, we are currently sponsoring two studies at Washington University in St. Louis to compare MRIdian to other IGRT systems. We plan to continue to support further studies to demonstrate the benefits of MRI-guided radiation therapy and adaptive treatment planning. As data accumulate from the use of MRIdian, we plan to work with professional healthcare organizations to further support global marketing efforts, additional product clearances, approvals and/or registrations and potential improvements in reimbursement.

Selling and Marketing

We currently market MRIdian through a direct sales force in the United States and distributors in the rest of the world. We market MRIdian to a broad range of worldwide customers, including university research and teaching hospitals, community hospitals, private practices, government institutions and freestanding cancer centers. As with the traditional linac market, our sales and revenue cycle varies based on the customer and can be lengthy, sometimes lasting up to 18 to 24 months or more from initial customer contact to contract execution.

To sell MRIdian globally, we use a combination of sales executives, sales directors and a network of international third-party distributors with internal support from sales operations, product management and application specialists. A targeted group of three sales directors and one vice president are responsible for selling MRIdian within the United States. Our product management function helps market MRIdian and works with our engineering group to identify and develop upgrades and enhancements. We also have a team of application specialists who provide post-sales support.

Although we do not currently engage in advertising efforts, our selling and marketing practices include participating in trade shows and symposia.

Competition

We compete directly with companies marketing IGRT devices for the treatment of cancer using CT, ultrasound, optical tracking and X-ray imaging. We also compete with companies developing next-generation IGRT devices, specifically those developing MRI-guided devices, amongst others. We expect technological advances, including the ability to provide real-time imaging, clinical outcomes, size, price, operational complexity and operational efficiency to drive competitive market dynamics.

Our major competitors with devices approved for distribution in the United States or globally include Varian Medical Systems, Inc., or Varian, Elekta AB, or Elekta, and Accuray Incorporated. Many of our direct competitors have greater financial, sales and marketing, service infrastructure and research and development capabilities than we do, as well as more established reputations and current market share. The main limitations of currently approved devices are the lack of real-time, clear images before and during the treatment, as well as the ability to perform on-table adaptive planning.

We are also aware of one commercial and two academic ongoing research efforts to develop radiation therapy systems incorporating MRI. Elekta and Royal Philips have formed a consortium to develop a commercial Elekta-Philips MRI-linac. The University of Sydney, Ingham Institute and the University of Queensland have formed a partnership to develop an MRI-linac and the University of Alberta’s Cross Cancer Institute is working on an MRI-linac as well. Although these academic research efforts may not compete directly with us commercially, if one of our competitors were to form a partnership with one of these institutions to commercialize their system, it could impact our sales negatively. Of these three, we believe the Elekta-Philips MRI-linac is the most advanced in development, although we believe this system is still years away from approval. MRIdian is the first and only commercially available MRI-guided radiation therapy device to image and treat cancer patients simultaneously.

The limited capital expenditure budgets of our customers results in all suppliers to these entities competing for a limited pool of funds. Our customers may be required to select between two items of capital equipment. For example, some of our potential customers are considering expensive proton therapy systems which could consume a significant portion of their capital expenditure budgets.

Manufacturing

We have adopted a model in which we rely on subsystem manufacturing, assembly and testing by our key suppliers. The MRIdian system is integrated at the customer site. Through this approach, we avoid the majority of the fixed cost structure of manufacturing facilities. We purchase major components and subsystems for MRIdian from national and international third-party OEM suppliers and contract manufacturers. These major components include the magnet, MRI electronics, ring gantry, radiation therapy heads, Cobalt-60 sources, multi-leaf collimators, patient-treatment table and computers. We also directly purchase minor components and parts. At the customer site, we assemble and integrate these components with our proprietary software and perform multiple levels of testing and qualification. The system undergoes a final acceptance test, which is performed in conjunction with the customer.

Many of the major subsystems and components of MRIdian are currently procured through single and sole source suppliers. Among these are the magnet, MRI electronics, MRI coils, ring gantry, radiation-therapy heads, Cobalt-60 sources, multi-leaf collimators and the patient-treatment table. We have entered into multi-year supply agreements for all major components and subsystems. Our restated joint development and supply agreement with Euromechanics Medical GmbH, as amended, has expired by its terms. We do not believe that that the expiration will have a negative impact on our manufacturing operations or business because we are currently negotiating an extension of the agreement and we are continuing to operate under the agreement as if the agreement had not expired during these negotiations. Except for the MRI power, control and image reconstruction subsystem, we own the design of all other major subsystems and components.

We manage our supplier relationships with scheduled business reviews and periodic program updates. We closely monitor supplier quality and delivery performance to ensure compliance with all MRIdian system specifications. We believe our supply chain has adequate capacity to meet our projected sales over the next several years.

Intellectual Property

The proprietary nature of, and protection for, MRIdian components, new technologies, processes and know-how are important to our business. Our policy is to seek patent protection in the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions for our MRIdian systems and other technology where available and when appropriate. We also in-license technology, inventions and improvements we consider important to the development of our business.

We hold the exclusive worldwide license for certain patents and patent applications covering our combination of MRI and radiation therapy technologies. Specifically, we hold a license to two issued U.S. patents, one allowed U.S. patent application, 14 issued foreign patents (eight of which were issued in Great Britain, Germany, France and the Netherlands as a result of two patent applications filed and allowed through the European Patent Office) and four pending foreign patent applications at July 13, 2015. We own an additional eight issued U.S. patents, seven issued foreign patents, 16 pending U.S. patent applications and 48 pending foreign patent applications, and, at July 13, 2015, one of our foreign patent applications is allowed. Assuming all required fees are paid, individual patents or patent applications owned or licensed by us will expire between 2025 and 2034. We also have a joint ownership interest with Case Western Reserve University in one issued patent and one U.S. patent application.

Our portfolio includes patents and patent applications directed to system-wide aspects of MRIdian and to key aspects of its subsystems and components. The initial licensed patents for our core technology broadly cover the

 

110

simultaneous use of MR imaging and isotopic external-beam radiation therapy. Such patents have been granted in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, Australia and Japan, and additional related patent applications remain pending in China, Canada, the United States, Australia and Japan. In the United States we have pending continuation applications of the licensed patents that extend this core technology to alternate beam technologies. Additionally, we have patents and patent applications that cover critical design elements including, among others, our approach to Cobalt IMRT, our methods for integrating MRI and the radiation delivery system, and the design of our disassemblable (“pop apart”) magnet which enables the MRI sub-system to fit into most standard radiation therapy vaults. The U.S. patent application on our approach to Cobalt IMRT has been issued, the patent application on our split gradient coil has been issued in the United States, Japan, Australia and China and numerous applications on other design elements are pending in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. In addition, we have a U.S. patent and U.S. and foreign patent applications that cover the use of MRI imaging at a frequency sufficient to account for real-time organ motion to provide video rate tissue tracking in disciplines outside of radiation therapy.

We continue to review new technological developments in our system and in the field as a whole in order to make decisions about what filings would be most appropriate for us. An additional key component of our intellectual property is our proprietary software used in planning and delivering MRIdian’s therapeutic radiation dose.

In December 2004, we entered into a licensing agreement with the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., or UFRF, whereby UFRF granted us a worldwide exclusive license to certain of UFRF’s patents in exchange for 33.653 shares of common stock and a royalty from sales of products developed and sold by us utilizing the licensed patents. We were obligated to meet certain product development and commercialization milestones by various dates through December 31, 2014. The significant milestones met prior to December 31, 2013 included: (i) completion of a business plan and Small Business Technology Transfer grant application; (ii) securing a minimum of $20.0 million venture financing; (iii) successful relocation and build out of the company’s headquarters; (iv) receipt of the first magnet from an OEM partner; (v) hiring of a chief executive officer with industry experience in developing and commercializing similar products; and (vi) filing for FDA approval. The final milestone, which required us to recognize the first commercial sale of the MRIdian system to retail customers by December 31, 2014, was met during the year ended December 31, 2013. If these milestones had not been accomplished, UFRF would have had the right to terminate the licensing agreement. Royalty payments are based on 1% of net sales, defined as the amount collected on sales of licensed products and/or licensed processes after deducting trade and/or quantity discounts, credits on returns and allowances, outbound transportation costs paid and sales tax. Minimum quarterly royalty payments of $50,000 commenced with the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and are payable in advance. Minimum royalties paid in any calendar year will be credited against earned royalties for such calendar year. The royalty payments continue until the earlier of (i) the date that no licensed patents remain enforceable or (ii) the payment of earned royalties, once begun in 2014, cease for more than four consecutive calendars quarters.

In addition to our patents, we also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, copyright protection and continuing technological and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position. We have periodically monitored and continue to monitor the activities of our competitors and other third parties with respect to their use of intellectual property. We require our employees, consultants and outside scientific collaborators to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements upon commencing employment or consulting relationships with us. Despite these safeguards, any of our know-how or trade secrets not protected by a patent could be disclosed to, or independently developed by, a competitor.

Coverage and Reimbursement

Reimbursement rates in the United States have generally supported a favorable return on investment for the purchase of new radiotherapy equipment, including MRIdian. Payments for standard radiation therapy treatments using MRIdian, including 3D-CRT, IMRT and SBRT, are generally covered and reimbursed under existing

 

111


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes and policies currently in place. User experience to date indicates that our initial customers have treated a wide spectrum of different patients and treatment modalities using MRIdian. Physicians use the MRIdian system’s on-board MRI to perform a complex simulation weekly for IMRT or daily for SBRT, special physics consult and adaptive re-planning. Each of these are distinct procedures which can be billed by physicians using existing CPT codes, so long as such procedures meet medical necessity and other coverage criteria as established by government and other third-party payors.

Third-party payors, including governmental healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, establish coverage policies and reimbursement rates for diagnostic examinations and therapeutic procedures performed by physicians in hospitals and free-standing clinics. Private insurers often model their payment rates and coverage policies based on those established by the government. The U.S. Congress from time to time considers various Medicare and other healthcare reform proposals that could affect both private and public third-party payor coverage and reimbursement for healthcare services provided in hospitals and clinics. In addition, third-party payors regularly update reimbursement amounts, including annual updates to payments to physicians, hospitals and clinics for medical procedures, including radiation treatments using MRIdian.

The changes to simplify the billing for conventional radiation therapy and IMRT by CMS in its final rule for the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System, or HOPPS, effective January 1, 2015, are further indicative of an overall U.S. health policy trend towards cost containment. Whether this trend results in capitated payments per patient or case payment per procedure, we believe MRIdian’s capability of enabling physicians to visualize the treatment area and adapt therapy in real-time to maximize the clinical benefit to the patient will result in cost savings to both providers and third-party payors.

We plan to work with our customers to collect and publish data on clinical results for patients who have undergone procedures on MRIdian. We are currently sponsoring a study that is estimated to be completed in 2017 at Washington University in St. Louis to compare MRIdian to other IGRT systems, and we plan to continue to support further studies to demonstrate the benefits of MRI-guided radiation therapy and adaptive treatment planning. As data accumulate from the use of our system, we plan to work with professional healthcare organizations to further support global marketing efforts, additional product clearances, approvals and/or registrations and potential improvements in reimbursement. Additionally, we currently provide reimbursement support to our customers through a third-party vendor.

Foreign Reimbursement Regulations

Internationally, reimbursement and healthcare payment systems vary from country to country and include single-payor, government managed systems as well as systems in which private payors and government-managed systems exist side-by-side. In general, the process of obtaining coverage approvals is slower outside of the United States. Our ability to achieve adoption of MRIdian as well as significant sales volume in international markets we enter will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement for procedures performed using MRIdian.

Research and Development

Continued innovation and development of advanced technologies is critical to our goal of making MRI-guided radiation therapy the standard of care for cancer treatment. Our current development activities include improvements in and expansion of product capabilities, continued clinical workflow refinements, design improvements to reduce system costs and improvements in reliability.

The modular design of MRIdian enables the development of new capabilities and performance enhancements by generally allowing each subsystem to evolve within the overall platform design. Access to regular MRIdian upgrades protects customer investment in MRIdian, and facilitates the adoption of new features and capabilities among existing installed base customers. We expect these upgrades will generally consist of new software

 

112


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

features and MRI imaging enhancements designed to leverage the capabilities of MRIdian’s on-table adaptive planning, real-time tumor tracking, and the other inherent capabilities of MRI imaging technologies, as well as hardware enhancements as they become available. Ultimately we have a vision of expanding the system’s on-table adaptive feature into a continuously-adaptive capability, which adjusts and corrects for any changes as they happen, on the table, in real-time.

In addition, we believe our existing and expanding IP portfolio will enable us to continuously develop innovative technologies to further strengthen the differentiation of MRIdian in the marketplace. Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful and versatile measurement technique and is widely used throughout radiology and medicine because of its ability to generate information about tissues and disease states.

At September 30, 2015, we had a total of 36 employees in our research and development departments. Research and development expenses were $7.4 million and $7.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and $9.4 million and $8.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We plan to continue to increase our investment in research and development in future periods.

Government Regulation

U.S. Medical Device Regulation and Nuclear Materials Regulation

As a manufacturer and seller of medical devices and devices that deliver radiation, we and some of our suppliers and distributors are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the FDA, the NRC, other federal, state and local authorities in the United States and foreign regulatory authorities. Regulations promulgated by the FDA relating to medical devices and radiation-producing devices govern, among other things, the following activities that we perform or that are performed on our behalf, and that we will continue to perform or have performed on our behalf:

 

    product design, development and testing;

 

    manufacturing;

 

    approval or clearance;

 

    packaging, labeling and storage;

 

    marketing, advertising and promotion;

 

    distribution, including importing and exporting;

 

    installation;

 

    possession and disposal;

 

    record keeping;

 

    service and surveillance, including post-approval monitoring and reporting;

 

    complaint handling; and

 

    repair or recall of products and issuance of field safety corrective actions.

FDA Clearance and Approval of Medical Devices

The FDA regulates the research, testing, manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, promotion, distribution, and production of medical devices in the United States to ensure that medical products distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses. Unless an exemption applies, the FDA requires that all new medical devices and all marketed medical devices that have been significantly changed, or that will be marketed with a new indication for use, obtain either clearance via a 510(k) pre-market notification or approval

 

113


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

via a Premarket Approval, or PMA, application before the manufacturer may commercially distribute the product in the United States. The type of marketing authorization necessary is generally linked to the classification of the device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes. Devices deemed to pose the lowest risk are placed in Class I, and most Class I devices are exempt from premarket notification requirements. Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to a set of regulations referred to as General Controls, which require compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, and regulations regarding facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse events and malfunctions, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling and promotional materials. However, some Class I devices, called Class I reserved devices, also require premarket clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process described below.

Moderate risk devices are placed in Class II and are subject to General Controls as well as Special Controls, which can include performance standards, guidelines and post-market surveillance. Most Class II devices are subject to premarket review and clearance by the FDA pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA.

Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device are placed in Class III. Class III devices require FDA approval of a PMA prior to marketing.

MRIdian has been classified as a Class II medical device subject to the 510(k) clearance process.

510(k) clearance process . Most Class II devices are subject to premarket review and clearance by the FDA. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for Class II devices is accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process. Under the 510(k) process, the manufacturer must submit to the FDA a premarket notification, demonstrating that the device is “substantially equivalent” to either:

 

    a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976, the date upon which the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 were enacted; or

 

    another commercially available, similar device that was cleared through the 510(k) process.

To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data are sometimes required to support substantial equivalence.

The process of obtaining 510(k) clearance usually takes from three to 12 months from the date the application is filed and generally requires submitting supporting design and test data, which can be extensive and can prolong the process for a considerable period of time. If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent, it will grant clearance to commercially market the device. We received our 510(k) clearances for the treatment planning and delivery software system in January 2011 and for MRIdian in May 2012.

After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a new or major change in the intended use of the device, may require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, could require approval of a PMA. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision. If the FDA disagrees with the manufacturer’s decision, it may retroactively require the manufacturer to submit a request for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval and can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the product until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained. Since obtaining 510(k) clearances in 2011 and 2012, we have made changes to MRIdian that we believe do not require new 510(k) clearance.

Premarket application approval process . Submission and approval of a PMA is required before marketing of a Class III product may proceed. Under the PMA application process, the applicant must generally conduct at

 

114


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

least one clinical investigation and submit extensive data and clinical information demonstrating reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use to the FDA’s satisfaction. Accordingly, a PMA application typically includes, but is not limited to, extensive technical information regarding device design and development, pre-clinical and clinical trial data, manufacturing information, labeling and financial disclosure information for the clinical investigators in device studies. The PMA process is much more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process.

Following receipt of a PMA application, the FDA conducts an administrative review to determine whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If it is not, the agency will refuse to file the PMA. If it is, the FDA will accept the application for filing and begin the review. The FDA, by statute and by regulation, has 180 days to review a filed PMA application, although the review of an application more often occurs over a significantly longer period of time. During this review period, the FDA may request additional information or clarification of information already provided, and the FDA may issue a major deficiency letter to the applicant, requesting the applicant’s response to deficiencies communicated by the FDA. Before approving or denying a PMA, an FDA advisory committee may review the PMA at a public meeting and provide the FDA with the committee’s recommendation on whether the FDA should approve the submission, approve it with specific conditions, or not approve it. Overall, the PMA application process typically takes between one to three years, but may take significantly longer. The FDA may approve a PMA application with post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, user training requirements, restrictions on promotion, sale and distribution, and requirements for the collection of long-term follow-up data.

MRIdian is not currently approved under a PMA approval, and we have no plans for any indication or system improvements or extensions that we believe would require a PMA.

Clinical trials. Clinical trials are generally required to support a PMA application and are sometimes required for 510(k) clearance. Such trials require submission of an investigational device exemption, or IDE, application to the FDA for a specified number of patients and study sites, unless the product is deemed a non-significant risk device eligible for more abbreviated IDE requirements. If an IDE is required, the FDA and the appropriate institutional review boards, or IRBs, at the clinical sites must approve the study before clinical trials may begin. If the device is considered a non-significant risk device, IDE submission to FDA is not required. Instead, only approval from the IRB overseeing the clinical trial is required. Clinical trials are subject to extensive monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements. Clinical trials must be conducted under the oversight of an IRB for the relevant clinical trial sites and must comply with FDA regulations, including but not limited to those relating to good clinical practices. To conduct a clinical trial, the patient’s informed consent must be obtained in form and substance that complies with both FDA requirements and state and federal privacy and human subject protection regulations. The clinical trial sponsor, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Even if a trial is completed, the results of clinical testing may not adequately demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device or may otherwise not be sufficient to obtain FDA clearance or approval to market the product.

Continuing FDA regulation . Any devices we manufacture or distribute pursuant to 510(k) clearance or PMA approval by the FDA are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA and certain state agencies. These include product listing and establishment registration requirements, which help facilitate FDA inspections and other regulatory actions.

In addition, our manufacturing operations for medical devices and those of our suppliers must comply with the FDA’s QSR. The QSR requires that each manufacturer, including third party manufacturers, establish and implement a quality system by which the manufacturer monitors the manufacturing process and maintains records that show compliance with FDA regulations and the manufacturer’s written specifications and procedures. Among other things, the QSR requires that manufacturers establish performance requirements before

 

115


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

production and follow stringent requirements applicable to the device design, testing, production, control, record keeping, documentation, labeling and installation, as well as supplier/contractor selection, complaint handling and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process. Compliance with the QSR is necessary to be able to continue to market medical devices that have received FDA approval or clearance, and to receive FDA clearance or approval to market new or significantly modified medical devices. The FDA makes announced and unannounced inspections of medical device manufacturers, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of subcontractors. Following an inspection, the FDA may issue reports, known as FDA Form 483 reports, listing the investigator’s observations of conditions or practices which indicate the possibility that an FDA-regulated product may be in violation of FDA’s requirements. FDA may also issue warning letters documenting regulatory violations observed during an inspection. The manufacturer’s failure to adequately respond to such reports or warning letters may result in FDA enforcement action against the manufacturer and related consequences, including, among other things, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recalls or seizures of products, total or partial suspension of production, FDA refusal to grant 510(k) clearance or PMA approval to new devices, withdrawal of existing clearances or approvals, and criminal prosecution.

Manufacturers must also comply with post-market surveillance regulations, including medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers review and report to the FDA any incident in which their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur. In addition, corrections and removal reporting regulations require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that may present a risk to health. The FDA may also order a mandatory recall if there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, also regulate the promotion and advertising of MRIdian. In general, we may not promote or advertise MRIdian for uses not within the scope of our clearances or approvals or make unsupported safety and effectiveness claims.

Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements, including delays in or failures to report incidents to the FDA or off-label promotion, can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which can include any of the following sanctions:

 

    warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

 

    customer notifications or repair, replacement, refunds, recall, administrative detention or seizure of our MRIdian systems;

 

    operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

 

    refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new or modified products;

 

    withdrawing 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;

 

    refusal to grant export approval for products; or

 

    criminal prosecution.

Radiological health . We are also regulated by the FDA under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions of the FDCA because MRIdian contains gamma radiation producing components, and because we assemble these components during manufacturing and service activities. The Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions require gamma radiation producing products to comply with certain regulations and applicable performance standards. Manufacturers are required to certify in product labeling and reports to the FDA that their products comply with all necessary standards as well as maintain manufacturing, testing and sales records for their products. The Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions also require manufacturers to report product defects and affix appropriate labeling to covered products. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, which can include any of the sanctions described above.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission and U.S. State Agencies

In the United States, as a manufacturer of medical devices and devices utilizing radioactive byproduct material (i.e. depleted uranium shielding and Cobalt-60 sources) we are subject to extensive regulation by not only federal governmental authorities, such as the NRC, but also by state and local governmental authorities, such as the Ohio Department of Health, to ensure such devices are safe and effective. In Ohio, the Department of Health, by agreement with the NRC, regulates the possession, use, and disposal of radioactive byproduct material as well as the manufacture of devices containing radioactive sealed sources to ensure compliance with state and federal laws and regulations. We have received sealed source device approval from the Ohio Department of Health for MRIdian and have entered into a standby letter of credit with PNC for $103,000 to provide certification of financial assurance for decommissioning Cobalt-60 radioactive materials in accordance with Ohio Department of Health regulations. The company and/or its supplier of radiation sources must also comply with NRC and U.S. Department of Transportation regulations on the labeling and packaging requirements for shipment of radiation sources to hospitals or other users of MRIdian. Compliance with NRC, state and local requirements is required for distribution, installation, use and service within each state that we intend to install MRIdian systems.

Existing radiation therapy facilities practicing nuclear medicine, brachytherapy or Gamma Knife therapy are already required to have necessary NRC and/or state licenses and a radiation safety program requiring compliance to various provisions under 10 CFR 35 “Medical uses of byproduct material.” Use of MRIdian is regulated under 10 CFR 35.1000 “Other medical uses of byproduct material or radiation from byproduct material.” In 2013, the NRC released a licensing guidance under 10 CFR 35.1000 to guide our customers in the NRC requirements applicable for the use of MRIdian. We believe that this guidance is favorable in that it is consistent with clinical use of existing image-guided radiation therapy devices.

Moreover, our use, management, and disposal of certain radioactive substances and wastes are subject to regulation by several federal and state agencies depending on the nature of the substance or waste material. We believe that we are in compliance with all federal and state regulations for this purpose.

Outside the United States, various laws apply to the import, distribution, installation and use of MRIdian, in consideration of the nuclear materials within MRIdian.

U.S. Privacy and Security Laws

We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, including the final omnibus rule published on January 25, 2013, imposes specified requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Further, “business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information in connection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity are also subject to certain HIPAA privacy and security standards. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, state laws govern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.

U.S. Fraud and Abuse Laws and Regulations

The healthcare industry is also subject to a number of fraud and abuse laws and regulations, including physician anti-kickback, false claims and physician payment transparency laws. Violations of these laws can lead to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs and significant

 

117


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

monetary penalties, among others. These laws, among other things, constrain the sales, marketing and other promotional activities of manufacturers of medical products, such as us, by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements we may have with hospitals, physicians and other potential purchasers of medical products who may seek reimbursement from a federal or state health care program such as Medicare or Medicaid.

Anti-kickback laws . The federal Anti-Kickback Statute makes it a criminal offense to knowingly and willfully solicit, offer, receive or pay any remuneration in exchange for, or to induce, the referral of business, including the purchase, order, lease of any good, facility, item or service, that are reimbursable by a state or federal health care program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. The Anti-Kickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to the purchase of medical devices from a particular manufacturer or the referral of patients to a particular supplier of diagnostic services utilizing such devices. Although, there are established statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors that define certain financial transactions and practices that are not subject to the Anti-Kickback Statute, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make the conduct per se illegal under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on a cumulative review of all its facts and circumstances.

Generally, courts have taken a broad interpretation of the scope of the Anti-Kickback Statute, holding that the statute may be violated if merely one purpose of a payment arrangement is to induce referrals or purchases. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

Violations of this law are punishable by up to five years in prison, and can also result in criminal fines, administrative civil money penalties and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs. In addition, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act. Many states have also adopted statutes similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, some of which apply to payments in connection with the referral of patients for healthcare items or services reimbursed by any source, not only governmental payor programs.

False Claims Act . The federal civil False Claims Act prohibits anyone from knowingly and willfully presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment, that are false or fraudulent, for services not provided as claimed. In addition to actions initiated by the government itself, the statute authorizes actions to be brought on behalf of the federal government by a private party having knowledge of the alleged fraud. Because the complaint is initially filed under seal, the action may be pending for some time before the defendant is even aware of the action. If the government is ultimately successful in obtaining redress in the matter or if the plaintiff succeeds in obtaining redress without the government’s involvement, then the plaintiff will receive a percentage of the recovery. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties ranging from $5,500 to $11,000 for each separate false claim, and may be excluded from participation in federal health care programs, and, although the federal False Claims Act is a civil statute, violations may also implicate various federal criminal statutes. Several states have also adopted comparable state false claims act, some of which apply to all payors.

Civil monetary penalties laws. The civil monetary penalties statute imposes penalties against any person or entity that, among other things, is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to a federal health program that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent.

Other fraud and abuse laws. HIPAA also created new federal criminal statutes that prohibit among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare

benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Like the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA was amended by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, such that a person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

Physician payment transparency laws . There has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers and entities. The Affordable Care Act, among other things, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers, including certain device manufacturers, for payments provided to physicians and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Failure to submit timely, accurately, and completely the required information may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year and up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures.” Device manufacturers were required to begin collecting data on August 1, 2013 and submit reports on aggregate payment data to the government for the first reporting period (August 1, 2013—December 31, 2013) by March 31, 2014, and to report detailed payment data for the first reporting period and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data by June 30, 2014. Thereafter, device manufacturers must submit reports by the 90th day of each subsequent calendar year. CMS made all reported data publicly available on September 30, 2014.

Certain states also mandate implementation of compliance programs, impose restrictions on device manufacturer marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation and other remuneration to healthcare providers and entities.

The laws and regulations and their enforcement are constantly undergoing change, and we cannot predict what effect, if any, changes may have on our business. In addition, new laws and regulations may be adopted which adversely affect our business. There has been a trend in recent years, both in the United States and internationally, toward more stringent regulation and enforcement of requirements applicable to medical device manufacturers and requirements regarding protection and confidentiality of personal data.

State Certificate of Need Laws

In some states, a certificate of need, or CON, or similar regulatory approval is required by hospitals and other healthcare providers prior to the acquisition of high-cost capital items, including MRIdian, or the provision of new services. These laws generally require appropriate state agency determination of public need and approval prior to the acquisition of such capital items or addition of new services. CON requirements may preclude our customers from acquiring, or significantly delay acquisition of, MRIdian and/or from performing treatments using MRIdian. CON laws are the subject of ongoing legislative activity, and a significant increase in the number of states regulating the offering and use of MRIdian through CON or similar requirements could adversely affect us.

Healthcare Reform

In the United States and foreign jurisdictions, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system seeking, among other things, to reduce healthcare costs that could affect our results of operations.

 

119


Table of Contents

By way of example, in the United States, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in March 2010, which is expected to substantially change the way healthcare is delivered and financed by both governmental and private insurers. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act:

 

    imposed an annual excise tax of 2.3% on any entity that manufactures or imports medical devices offered for sale in the United States;

 

    established a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee and identify priorities in comparative clinical effectiveness research in an effort to coordinate and develop such research;

 

    implemented payment system reforms including a national pilot program on payment bundling to encourage hospitals, physicians and other providers to improve the coordination, quality and efficiency of certain healthcare services through bundled payment models; and

 

    created an independent payment advisory board that will submit recommendations to reduce Medicare spending if projected Medicare spending exceeds a specified growth rate.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. On August 2, 2011, the President signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend to Congress proposals in spending reductions. The Joint Select Committee did not achieve a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This included reductions to Medicare payments to providers of 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect on April 1, 2013 and will stay in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals and imaging centers.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for MRIdian or additional pricing pressure.

Foreign Regulation of Medical Devices

Our activities outside the United States are subject to regulatory requirements that vary from country to country and frequently differ significantly from those in the United States. Failure to obtain and maintain regulatory approval or clearance in any foreign country in which we market or plan to market MRIdian may have a negative effect on our ability to generate revenue and harm our business.

In general, MRIdian is regulated outside the United States as medical devices by foreign governmental agencies similar to the FDA and the FTC. In addition, in foreign countries where we have operations or sell MRIdian, we are subject to laws and regulations applicable to manufacturers of medical devices, radiation producing devices and to the healthcare industry, and laws and regulation of general applicability relating to environmental protection, safe working conditions, manufacturing practices and other matters. These laws and regulations are often comparable to, or more stringent than U.S. laws and regulations. Our sales of MRIdian in foreign countries are also subject to regulation of matters such as product standards, packaging requirements, labeling requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. We rely in some countries on our foreign distributors to assist us in complying with applicable regulatory requirements.

Regulation in the EU

In the European Union, or EU, we are required under the European Medical Device Directive (Council Directive 93/42/EEC) to affix the CE mark to our MRIdian systems in order to sell the MRIdian systems in member countries of the EU. The CE mark is an international symbol that represents adherence to certain essential principles of safety and effectiveness mandated in the European Medical Device Directive (the so-called

 

120


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

“essential requirements”). Once affixed, the CE mark enables a product to be sold within the European Economic Area, which is composed of the 28 Member States of the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

To demonstrate compliance with the essential requirements, we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure which varies according to the type of medical device and its classification. Except for low risk medical devices (Class I with no measuring function and which are not sterile) where the manufacturer can issue an EC Declaration of Conformity based on a self-assessment of the conformity of its products with the essential requirements of the Medical Devices Directive, a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of an organization accredited by a Member State of the EEA to conduct conformity assessments, or a Notified Body. Depending on the relevant conformity assessment procedure, the Notified Body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our devices. The Notified Body issues a CE Certificate of Conformity following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure conducted in relation to the medical device and its manufacturer and their conformity with the essential requirements. This Certificate entitles the manufacturer to affix the CE mark to its medical devices after having prepared and signed a related EC Declaration of Conformity.

We received the CE Certificate of Conformity from our Notified Body in November 2014, allowing us to affix the CE mark to MRIdian in order to sell it throughout the EEA.

If we modify MRIdian we may need to apply for permission to affix the CE mark to the modified product. Additionally, we will need to apply for a CE mark for any new products that we may develop in the future. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain permission to affix the CE mark for modified or new products or that we will continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the permissions that we have already received or may receive in the future. In addition, if we are unable to obtain permission to affix the CE mark to our future products, we would be unable to sell them in EU member countries.

Regulation in Other Countries

We will be subject to additional regulations in foreign countries in which we intend to market, sell and import MRIdian. We or our distributors must receive all necessary approvals or clearance prior to marketing and importing MRIdian in those international markets. We received a license and permission to import MRIdian into the United Arab Emirates in December 2014. We received regulatory approval in Italy in January 2015 and in Korea in September 2015, which is required in addition to the CE mark. We are currently seeking government approval to market MRIdian in China, Japan, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong and Turkey. Other countries where we will be seeking approval in the near term are Canada, Egypt, and Australia. We will seek approvals in other countries as may be required in the future.

The International Standards Organization promulgates internationally recognized standards, including those for the requirements of quality systems. We are certified to the ISO 13485:2003 standard, which specify the quality system requirements for medical device manufacturers. To support our ISO certifications, we are subject to surveillance audits by a Notified Body yearly and recertification audits every three years that assess our continued compliance with the relevant ISO standards. Our most recent recertification audit occurred in March 2015.

Employees

At September 30, 2015, we had 93 full-time employees. Within our workforce at September 30, 2015, 36 employees are engaged in research and development and 57 employees in business development, finance, human resources, facilities, and general management and administration. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees, and we have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters are located in Oakwood Village, Ohio, where we lease and occupy approximately 41,000 square feet of office space. The current term of our Oakwood Village lease expires on October 31, 2017, with an option to extend the term through October 31, 2027. We also maintain an office in Mountain View, California, where we lease and occupy approximately 25,500 square feet of office space. The current term of our Mountain View lease expires on November 30, 2019. In connection with our Mountain View, California lease, we entered into a standby letter of credit with PNC Bank, National Association for $0.5 million, which is still outstanding at September 30, 2015.

We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs. When our leases expire, we may exercise our renewal option or look for additional or alternate space for our operations and we believe that suitable additional or alternative space will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms.

Director Independence

Our board of directors currently consists of eight members. We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent.” Nevertheless, our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Mr. Raanes and Dr. Dempsey, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ. Mr. Raanes and Dr. Dempsey are not considered independent because each is an employee of ViewRay. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Classified Board of Directors

In accordance with our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

 

    the Class I directors will be Chris A. Raanes, Aditya Puri and Robert Weisskoff, Ph.D., and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016;

 

    the Class II directors will be Josh Bilenker, M.D., James F. Dempsey, Ph.D. and Mark S. Gold, M.D., and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017; and

 

    the Class III directors will be David Bonita, M.D. and Caley Castelein, M.D., and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018.

Our certificate of incorporation will provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of the company.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our board of directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the board of directors at regular board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our audit committee is

 

126


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

responsible for overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our nominating and governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines and considers and approves or disapproves any related-person transactions. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process. Among other matters, the audit committee:

 

    appoints our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

    evaluates our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance;

 

    determines the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

    reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit and the audit fee;

The current members of our audit committee are Drs. Bilenker and Bonita and Mr. Puri. Dr. Bonita serves as the chairperson of the audit committee. All members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ. Our board of directors has determined that Dr. Bonita is an audit committee financial expert as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ. Under the rules of the SEC, members of the audit committee must also meet heightened independence standards. However, a minority of the members of the audit committee may be exempt from the heightened audit committee independence standards for one year from the date of the Merger. Our board of directors has determined that each of Drs. Bilenker and Bonita and Mr. Puri are independent under the applicable rules of NASDAQ. The audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and NASDAQ.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee reviews and recommends policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers and employees. The compensation committee reviews and recommends corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers, evaluates the performance of

 

127


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

these officers in light of those goals and objectives and recommends to our board of directors the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations. The compensation committee also recommends to our board of directors the issuance of stock options and other awards under our stock plans. The compensation committee will review and evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the compensation committee and its members, including compliance by the compensation committee with its charter. The current members of our compensation committee are Drs. Bilenker and Castelein and Mr. Puri. Dr. Castelein serves as the chairperson of the compensation committee. Each of the members of our compensation committee is independent under the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ, is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and is an “outside director” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The compensation committee operates under a written charter.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for making recommendations to our board of directors regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of our board of directors. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing our corporate governance policies and reporting and making recommendations to our board of directors concerning governance matters. The current members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are Drs. Bonita, Castelein and Gold. Dr. Castelein serves as the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee is an independent director under the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ relating to nominating and corporate governance committee independence. The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee has at any time been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Board Diversity

Upon consummation of the Merger, our nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for reviewing with the board of directors, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the board of directors as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members), the nominating and corporate governance committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will take into account many factors, including the following:

 

    personal and professional integrity;

 

    ethics and values;

 

    experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company;

 

    experience in the industries in which we compete;

 

    experience as a director or executive officer of another publicly held company;

 

    diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members;

 

    conflicts of interest; and

 

    practical and mature business judgment.

 

128

Currently, our board of directors evaluates, and following the consummation of the Merger will evaluate, each individual in the context of the board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.viewray.com. We expect that any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The reference to our web address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

 

    any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

    any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

 

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his, her or its actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him, her or it under Delaware law.

In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have entered or intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors, officers and certain other employees prior to the consummation of the Merger. These agreements will provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers and certain other employees for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We believe that these provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. This description of the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of our certificate of incorporation, of our bylaws and of our indemnification agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this prospectus.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion

 

129


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer or employee.

Director Compensation

From our inception to the date of this prospectus, no compensation was earned by or paid to Dinara Akzhigitova, who was our sole director. Ms. Akzhigitova resigned as our sole officer and director effective as of July 23, 2015 in connection with the Merger.

ViewRay became our wholly owned subsidiary upon the closing of the Merger on July 23, 2015. The following summarizes the compensation earned by ViewRay’s non-employee directors in ViewRay’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

In 2014, ViewRay paid Dr. Gold, who is not affiliated with any of ViewRay’s major investors, an aggregate in cash of $14,000, which represents a quarterly retainer of $2,000 plus $2,000 per board meeting attended. Otherwise, ViewRay did not pay any cash compensation to any of the non-employee members of ViewRay’s board of directors, and ViewRay did not pay director fees to our directors who are ViewRay’s employees. However, ViewRay reimbursed ViewRay’s non-employee directors for travel and other necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of their services for ViewRay.

In addition, in April 2014, ViewRay granted each of Drs. Gold and Roemer options to purchase ViewRay common stock, which were converted into options to purchase 4,736 shares of our common stock, each having an exercise prices of $0.75 per share. These options vest and become exercisable in 48 monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of May 13, 2013 for Dr. Gold and November 13, 2013 for Dr. Roemer, subject to the individual continuing to provide services through each such vesting date.

In connection with the Merger, we approved a compensation policy for our non-employee directors, or the Director Compensation Program. Pursuant to the Director Compensation Program, our non-employee directors will receive cash compensation, paid quarterly in arrears, as follows:

 

    Each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer in the amount of $40,000 per year.

 

    Any non-employee Chairman will receive an additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $35,000 per year, and a lead independent director, if appointed, will receive an additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $7,500 per year.

 

    The chairperson of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $20,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the audit committee. Each non-chairperson member of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $10,000 per year for such member’s service on the audit committee.

 

    The chairperson of the compensation committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $15,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the compensation committee. Each non-chairperson member of the compensation committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $7,000 per year for such member’s service on the compensation committee.

 

    The chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $10,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each non-chairperson member of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 per year for such member’s service on the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Under the Director Compensation Program, upon the director’s initial appointment or election to our board of directors, each non-employee director will receive an option (the Initial Grant) to purchase that number of shares of our common stock such that the award has an aggregate grant date fair value (as defined below) equal to $176,400, rounded down to the nearest whole share (subject to adjustment as provided in the applicable equity plan). In addition, each non-employee director who has been serving as a director and will continue to serve as a director immediately following each annual stockholder meeting, will be automatically granted, on the date of such annual stockholder meeting, an option (the Annual Grant) to purchase that number of shares of our common stock such that the award has an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $70,200, rounded down to the nearest whole share (subject to adjustment as provided in the applicable equity plan). For purposes of the Initial Grant and the Annual Grant, “grant date fair value” will mean the fair value of an award as of the date of grant as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment”, using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the valuation assumptions used by the company in accounting for options as of such date of grant. The Initial Grant will vest as to 1/36 th of the shares subject to Initial Grant on each monthly anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date, and the Annual Grant will vest as to 1/12 th of the shares subject to the Annual Grant on each month anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to continued service through such vesting date. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Director Compensation Program, all equity awards outstanding and held by a non-employee director will vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the applicable equity plan such awards were granted under).

Upon the consummation of the Merger, we granted each of Drs. Bilenker, Bonita, Castelein, Gold and Mr. Puri an option to purchase 19,556 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $5. The options vest and become exercisable in substantially equal monthly installments over the 12 months following the grant date, subject to the individual continuing to provide services to us through the applicable vesting date.

Narrative to 2014 Summary Compensation Table and Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Year End

In connection with the Merger, each of the NEOs continues to be employed with us under the terms of their employment agreement or offer letter, as applicable, with ViewRay.

Employment Agreement with Chris A. Raanes

In January 2013, ViewRay entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Raanes, or the Raanes Agreement, to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors, providing for base salary, target annual bonus opportunity and standard employee benefit plan participation. Mr. Raanes’ base salary is subject to annual increases in the sole discretion of the board of directors. Mr. Raanes’ base salary for 2014 was $415,000, and he had an annual bonus target of 50% of base salary that is earned based on the achievement of certain milestones. Please see the section below titled “Terms and Conditions of Annual Bonuses” for a further description of the annual bonuses awarded to Mr. Raanes. In 2013, Mr. Raanes was also paid a $50,000 signing bonus, 50% of such signing bonus was paid to Mr. Raanes on the date he commenced employment with ViewRay and the remaining 50% of such signing bonus was paid on the six-month anniversary of such date. In addition, ViewRay reimbursed or directly paid for the costs incurred by Mr. Raanes for housing and transportation in the greater Cleveland area and commercial air travel from his residence in California to its offices in Ohio. In 2014, ViewRay reimbursed $8,364 in the aggregate for Mr. Raanes’ housing and transportation in the greater Cleveland area and $11,367 for commercial air travel from his residence to its offices in Ohio. Mr. Raanes is now based in our headquarters in Mountain View, California. Pursuant to the Raanes Agreement, ViewRay granted Mr. Raanes a stock option to purchase 984,861 shares of common stock, which equaled 5% of our issued and outstanding shares as of January 18, 2013. Under the Raanes Agreement, Mr. Raanes’ employment is terminable at-will. Mr. Raanes has also executed ViewRay’s standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement, which contains certain non-competition covenants.

The Raanes Agreement also provides Mr. Raanes with certain severance and change in control benefits. Mr. Raanes’ was eligible to participate in any carveout plan that ViewRay adopted, with minimum levels of compensation at various transaction price levels as set forth in the Raanes Agreement. ViewRay never adopted any such carveout plan (and as a result Mr. Raanes was not eligible for any such carveout payments).

In addition, pursuant to the Raanes Agreement, if Mr. Raanes’ employment is terminated without cause or Mr. Raanes resigns for “good reason” (as defined below) at any time three months prior to or 18 months following a change of control, then the vesting and exercisability of Mr. Raanes’ initial option granted under the Raanes Agreement will accelerate in full.

Additionally, in the event that Mr. Raanes is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, subject to his executing and not revoking a general release of all claims, then Mr. Raanes will become entitled to receive (i) a severance payment equal to 12 months of his annual base salary, payable in substantially equal installments, (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to a pro-rated portion of his annual performance bonus payable on the later of (a) the annual date bonuses are made to current employees and (b) the first installment payment for the base

salary severance, (iii) payment or reimbursement by us of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months, and (iv) accelerated vesting of Mr. Raanes’ option granted under the Raanes Agreement with respect to that number of shares that would have vested had he remained employed with the company for an additional 12 months.

Under the Raanes Agreement, “change of control” means (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) a merger, consolidation or other similar business combination involving the company, if, upon completion of such transaction, the beneficial owners of voting equity securities of the company immediately prior to the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the successor entity’s voting equity securities; provided that “change of control” will not include a transaction where the consideration received or retained by the holders of the then-outstanding capital stock of the company does not consist primarily of (a) cash or cash equivalent consideration, (b) securities which are registered under the Securities Act or any successor statute thereto, or (c) securities for which the company or any other issuer thereof has agreed, including pursuant to a demand, to file a registration statement within 90 days of completion of the transaction for resale to the public pursuant to the Securities Act.

Under the Raanes Agreement, “cause” means Mr. Raanes’ (i) dishonesty of a material nature; (ii) theft or embezzlement of our funds or assets; (iii) conviction of, or guilty or no contest plea to, a felony charge or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or the entry of a consent decree with any governmental body; (iv) noncompliance in any material respect with any laws or regulations, foreign or domestic; (v) violation of any express direction or any rule, regulation or policy established by the board of directors that is consistent with the terms of the Raanes Agreement; (vi) material breach of the Raanes Agreement or material breach of Mr. Raanes’ fiduciary duties to the company; (vii) gross incompetence, gross neglect or gross misconduct in the performance of his duties; or (viii) repeated and consistent failure to perform the duties under the Raanes Agreement during normal business hours except during vacation periods or absences due to temporary illness. If the board of directors determines in good faith that cause exists, Mr. Raanes will be given written notice by the board of directors that provides the factual basis for the determination prior to that determination being final and Mr. Raanes will have 10 business days to respond and to attempt to cure the condition, although no cure period need be offered if the board of directors reasonably determines that the conditions are not subject to cure.

Under the Raanes Agreement, “good reason” means a resignation that occurs within 30 days following Mr. Raanes’ first having knowledge of any (i) material reduction in his base salary, (ii) material breach of the Raanes Agreement by the company, or (iii) material diminution of Mr. Raanes’ title as Chief Executive Officer or responsibility as Chief Executive Officer imposed by the board of directors (other than in response to an event constituting cause). With respect to subsection (i), any reduction consistent with general reductions in the base salaries of other executives as part of a plan to avoid insolvency or manage any financial distress or hardship of the company will not be deemed to constitute a material reduction in his base salary; and with respect to subsection (ii), good reason will only exist where Mr. Raanes’ has provided the company with written notice of the breach and the company has failed to cure such breach within 10 business days of such written notice.

Offer Letter to James F. Dempsey, Ph.D.

In October 2010, ViewRay entered into an offer letter with Dr. Dempsey that provides for employment at-will and annual base salary, annual target bonus, option awards and certain other benefits. Dr. Dempsey’s base salary for 2014 was $260,000. In addition, for 2014, Dr. Dempsey has an annual target bonus of 35% of base salary awarded based on the achievement of certain milestones. Please see the section titled “Terms and Conditions of Annual Bonuses” below for a further description of the annual bonuses awarded to Dr. Dempsey. His offer letters also contain certain non-disparagement and non-competition restrictive covenants (during Dr. Dempsey’s employment and for 12 months following termination).

The offer letter also provides Dr. Dempsey with certain severance and change of control benefits.

In the event that Dr. Dempsey is terminated without cause, subject to executing and not revoking a general release of all claims, then Dr. Dempsey is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to 12 months of his base

salary plus his annual bonus for the year preceding the termination date, payable in substantially equal installments over the six-month period following his termination.

“Change of control” has the same meaning as under the Raanes Agreement. “Cause” means Dr. Dempsey’s (i) willful failure to perform his material duties, other than a failure resulting from his complete or partial incapacity due to long-term physical or mental illness or impairment, (ii) willful act that constitutes gross misconduct and that is injurious to the company, (iii) willful breach of a provision of the offer letter, (iv) material or willful violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the business of the company, or (v) conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to a felony.

Offer Letter to Michael Brandt

In December 2011, ViewRay entered into an offer letter with Mr. Brandt that provides for employment at-will and other terms and conditions similar to Dr. Dempsey, except as provided below. Mr. Brandt’s base salary for 2014 was $250,000. Mr. Brandt is also eligible for additional compensation under the company’s sales compensation plan. Please see the section below titled “Terms and Conditions of Sales Compensation Plan” for a further description of Mr. Brandt’s sales commissions.

The offer letter also provides Mr. Brandt with certain severance and change of control benefits. In the event Mr. Brandt is terminated without cause or resigns for “good reason” (as defined below) at any time within 12 months following a change of control, then in addition to the severance payments described below, the vesting and exercisability of Mr. Brandt’s option granted under his offer letter will accelerate in full.

In addition, in the event that Mr. Brandt is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, subject to executing and not revoking a general release of all claims, then Mr. Brandt is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to four months of his base salary plus one-third of his annual bonus for the year preceding the termination date payable in substantially equal installments over the four-month period following his termination. “Change of control” has the same meaning as under the Raanes Agreement. “Cause” has the same meaning as under Dr. Dempsey’s offer letter, “Good reason” means the occurrence of one or more of the following conditions, without Mr. Brandt’s consent and without remedy by the company: (i) a material reduction in his compensation, including but not limited to his level of base salary and annual bonus opportunity, other than reductions approved by the board of directors that are applicable to all employees; (ii) a material, non-voluntary, reduction in his authority, duties, position, title or responsibilities or a material, adverse change in his reporting structure; or (iii) a reduction in the kind or level of his benefits to which he was entitled immediately prior to such reduction, other than reductions approved by the board of directors that are applicable to all employees of the company.

Terms and Conditions of Annual Bonuses

For 2014, all of the NEOs were eligible for cash performance-based bonuses pursuant to the achievement of certain performance objectives. The performance targets are approved annually by ViewRay’s board of directors. When determining the 2014 performance bonus program for the NEOs, in late 2013, the board of directors set certain performance goals, using a mixture of performance objectives after receiving input from ViewRay’s Chief Executive Officer. These performance objectives included installing MRIdian systems and commencing patient treatment, obtaining new sales orders, building manufacturing capabilities, implementing cost-reduction programs and building a world class management and employee team. There was no specific weighting for each performance goal when determining the overall bonus amount, and instead the board of directors evaluated the overall achievement of all performance goals based on the importance to the success of the company. For each of these performance goals under the annual bonus program, the board of directors set general performance goals, but there was no minimum or maximum achievement for each performance target; instead, the board of directors weighed the achievement, partial achievement or non-achievement for each performance target when deciding the overall achievement level. These performance goals were not expected to be attained based on average or below-average performance. The board of directors intended for the performance targets to require significant

 

137


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

effort on the part of the NEOs and, therefore, set these targets at levels they believed would be difficult to achieve, such that average or below-average performance would not satisfy these targets.

Each NEO’s target bonus opportunity is expressed as a percentage of base salary which can be achieved by meeting corporate goals. For each of the NEOs, his target bonus opportunity is originally set in his employment agreement or offer letter, as applicable, with the company as described above. The board of directors reviews these target percentages to ensure they are adequate, and, while reviewing these target percentages the board of directors does not follow a formula but rather uses the factors as general background information prior to determining the target bonus opportunity rates for the participating NEOs. The board of directors sets these rates based on each participating executive’s experience in his role with the company and the level of responsibility held by each executive, which the board of directors believes directly correlates to his ability to influence corporate results. For 2014, the board of directors used a guideline target bonus opportunity of 50% for Mr. Raanes and 35% for Dr. Dempsey and Mr. Brandt.

Corporate goals and performance targets are reviewed and approved by the board of directors prior to any allocation of the annual bonuses. In early 2015, the board of directors reviewed ViewRay’s 2014 company-wide performance with respect to determining bonuses for executive officers and determined achievement of the performance goals at 75%. Following its review and determinations, the board of directors awarded cash bonuses to the NEOs at 75% of their target bonus opportunity ($155,625 for Mr. Raanes, $68,250 for Dr. Dempsey and $65,625 for Mr. Brandt). The NEOs’ 2014 annual bonuses are set forth in the “2014 Summary Compensation Table” above.

Terms and Conditions of Sales Compensation Plan

For 2014, in addition to the target performance bonus amount described above, Mr. Brandt was also eligible for performance-based cash incentives under a sales compensation plan. For 2014, under his sales compensation plan, Mr. Brandt was eligible to earn commissions based upon the achievement of certain sales targets. For 2014, each of these sales targets were set at levels we determined would require significant effort to achieve and would not be met by average or below-average performance. Commissions for the sales targets are payable monthly or semi-monthly, at our sole discretion. For 2014, Mr. Brandt was awarded $41,000 for achievement of the sales commissions goals.

Terms and Conditions of Equity Awards

In 2014, ViewRay granted two options to each of our NEOs. In April 2014, the board of directors granted the following options to purchase ViewRay’s common stock to each of the NEOs: 390,302 shares and 148,544 shares with vesting commencement dates of May 11, 2013 and November 11, 2013, respectively, for Mr. Raanes; 96,149 shares and 238,156 shares with vesting commencement dates of May 11, 2013 and November 11, 2013, respectively, for Dr. Dempsey; and 25,347 shares and 7,071 shares with vesting commencement dates of May 11, 2013 and November 11, 2013, respectively, for Mr. Brandt. These options were converted into options to purchase our common stock in connection with the Merger, so the foregoing numbers reflect the number of shares of our common stock as if they had been granted by us in 2014. Each of these options had an exercise price of $0.76 per share, which the board determined was the fair market value on the date of grant (as converted to reflect our common stock). The options vest and become exercisable in 48 monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, such that all awards will be vested on the four-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to the individual continuing to provide services to us through each such vesting date.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, Mr. Raanes, Dr. Dempsey and Mr. Brandt received an option to purchase 454,776, 273,039 and 40,987 shares of our common stock, respectively, at an exercise price per share equal to $5. The options will vest and become exercisable in substantially equal monthly installments over the four years following the grant date, subject to the individual continuing to provide services to us through the applicable vesting date.

Terms and Conditions of 401(k) Plan

In June 2008, ViewRay adopted our 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for employees. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code so that contributions to the 401(k) plan by employees or by ViewRay, and the investment earnings thereon, are not taxable to the employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) plan, and so that contributions by ViewRay, if any, will be deductible by us when made. Under the 401(k) plan, employees may elect to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit and to have the amount of such reduction contributed to the 401(k) plan. ViewRay does not currently make any matching contributions under our 401(k) plan. We have assumed the ViewRay 401(k) plan in connection with the Merger.

Equity Compensation Plans

The principal features of our equity incentive plans and agreements are summarized below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the plans or agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this prospectus.

2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan

In connection with the Merger, we have adopted the 2015 Plan, which was effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger. The principal purpose of the 2015 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. The material terms of the 2015 Plan are summarized below.

Share Reserve. Under the 2015 Plan, 4,708,343 shares of common stock will be initially reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock awards, dividend equivalent awards, stock payment awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of the date of this prospectus, and in connection with the consummation of the Merger, options to purchase 1,375,786 shares of our common stock have been granted under the 2015 Plan to our executive officers and directors, and options to purchase 131,361 shares have been granted under the 2015 Plan to other employees and consultants. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to awards under the 2015 Plan will be increased by an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2017 and ending in 2026, equal to the least of (a) four percent (4%) of the shares of stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding year and (b) such smaller number of shares of stock as determined by our board of directors; provided, however, that no more than 15,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options, or ISOs. The following counting provisions will be in effect for the share reserve under the 2015 Plan:

 

    to the extent that an award terminates, expires or lapses for any reason or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares, any shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the 2015 Plan;

 

    to the extent shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant, exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any award under the 2015 Plan, such tendered or withheld shares will be available for future grants under the 2015 Plan;

 

    to the extent that shares of common stock are repurchased by us prior to vesting so that shares are returned to us, such shares will be available for future grants under the 2015 Plan;

 

    the payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan; and

 

    to the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by us or any of our subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan.

Index to Financial Statements

Administration. The compensation committee is expected to administer the 2015 Plan unless our board of directors assumes authority for administration. The compensation committee must consist of at least three members of our board of directors, each of whom is intended to qualify as an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, a “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an “independent director” within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules. The 2015 Plan provides that the board of directors or compensation committee may delegate its authority to grant awards to employees other than executive officers to a committee consisting of one or more members of our board of directors or one or more of our officers, other than awards made to our non-employee directors, which must be approved by our full board of directors.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2015 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2015 Plan. The administrator is also authorized to adopt, amend or rescind rules relating to administration of the 2015 Plan. Our board of directors may at any time remove the compensation committee as the administrator and revest in itself the authority to administer the 2015 Plan. The full board of directors will administer the 2015 Plan with respect to awards to non-employee directors.

Eligibility. Options, SARs, restricted stock and all other stock-based and cash-based awards under the 2015 Plan may be granted to individuals who are then our officers, employees or consultants or are the officers, employees or consultants of certain of our subsidiaries. Such awards also may be granted to our directors. Only employees of the company or certain of our subsidiaries may be granted ISOs.

Awards. The 2015 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock awards, deferred stock unit awards, dividend equivalent awards, performance awards, stock payment awards and other stock-based and cash-based awards, or any combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award.

 

    Nonstatutory Stock Options , or NSOs, will provide for the right to purchase shares of common stock at a specified price that may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment or service with us and/or subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance targets and individual performance targets established by the administrator. NSOs may be granted for any term specified by the administrator that does not exceed 10 years.

 

    Incentive Stock Options will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of 10 years measured from the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the 2015 Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant.

 

   

Restricted Stock Awards may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Restricted stock, typically, may be forfeited for no consideration or repurchased by us at the original purchase price if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or expire. Purchasers of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options, will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions

lapse; however, extraordinary dividends will generally be placed in escrow, and will not be released until restrictions are removed or expire.

 

    Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

 

    Deferred Stock Awards represent the right to receive shares of common stock on a future date. Deferred stock may not be sold or otherwise hypothecated or transferred until issued. Deferred stock will not be issued until the deferred stock award has vested, and recipients of deferred stock generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when the vesting conditions are satisfied and the shares are issued. Deferred stock awards generally will be forfeited, and the underlying shares of deferred stock will not be issued, if the applicable vesting conditions and other restrictions are not met.

 

    Deferred Stock Units are denominated in unit equivalent of shares of common stock, and vest pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the administrator. The common stock underlying deferred stock units will not be issued until the deferred stock units have vested, and recipients of deferred stock units generally will have no voting rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

 

    Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2015 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Except as required by Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to a SAR intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, there are no restrictions specified in the 2015 Plan on the exercise of SARs or the amount of gain realizable therefrom, although restrictions may be imposed by the administrator in the SAR agreements. SARs under the 2015 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator.

 

    Dividend Equivalent Awards represent the value of the dividends, if any, per share paid by us, calculated with reference to the number of shares covered by the award. Dividend equivalents may be settled in cash or shares and at such times as determined by our compensation committee or board of directors, as applicable.

 

    Performance Awards may be granted by the administrator on an individual or group basis. Generally, these awards will be based upon specific performance targets and may be paid in cash or in common stock or in a combination of both. Performance awards may include “phantom” stock awards that provide for payments based upon the value of our common stock. Performance awards may also include bonuses that may be granted by the administrator on an individual or group basis and that may be payable in cash or in common stock or in a combination of both.

 

    Stock Payment Awards may be authorized by the administrator in the form of common stock or an option or other right to purchase common stock as part of a deferred compensation or other arrangement in lieu of all or any part of compensation, including bonuses, that would otherwise be payable in cash to the employee, consultant or non-employee director.

Change in Control. In the event of a change in control where the acquirer does not assume or replace awards granted prior to the consummation of such transaction, awards issued under the 2015 Plan will be subject to accelerated vesting such that 100% of such awards will become vested and exercisable or payable, as

 

141


Table of Contents

applicable. Performance awards will vest in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement. In the event that, within the 12 month period immediately following a change in control, a participant’s services with us are terminated by us other than for cause (as defined in the 2015 Plan) or by such participant for good reason (as defined in the 2015 Plan), then the vesting and, if applicable, exercisability of 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to the outstanding equity awards held by such participant under the 2015 Plan will accelerate effective as of the date of such termination. The administrator may also make appropriate adjustments to awards under the 2015 Plan and is authorized to provide for the acceleration, cash-out, termination, assumption, substitution or conversion of such awards in the event of a change in control or certain other unusual or nonrecurring events or transactions. Under the 2015 Plan, a change in control is generally defined as:

 

    the transfer or exchange in a single transaction or series of related transactions by our stockholders of more than 50% of our voting stock to a person or group;

 

    a change in the composition of our board of directors over a two-year period such that the members of the board of directors who were approved by at least two-thirds of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination was so approved cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors;

 

    a merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination in which we are involved, directly or indirectly, other than a merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination that results in our outstanding voting securities immediately before the transaction continuing to represent a majority of the voting power of the acquiring company’s outstanding voting securities and after which no person or group beneficially owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction; or

 

    stockholder approval of our liquidation or dissolution.

Adjustments of Awards. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, distribution of our assets to stockholders (other than normal cash dividends) or any other corporate event affecting the number of outstanding shares of our common stock or the share price of our common stock other than an “equity restructuring” (as defined below), the administrator may make appropriate, proportionate adjustments to reflect the event giving rise to the need for such adjustments, with respect to:

 

    the aggregate number and type of shares subject to the 2015 Plan;

 

    the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and terms and conditions of outstanding awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect to such awards); and

 

    the grant or exercise price per share of any outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan.

In the event of one of the adjustments described above or other corporate transactions, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2015 Plan, the administrator has the discretion to make such equitable adjustments and may also:

 

    provide for the termination or replacement of an award in exchange for cash or other property;

 

    provide that any outstanding award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event;

 

    provide that awards may be exercisable, payable or fully vested as to shares of common stock covered thereby; or

 

    provide that an award under the 2015 Plan cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.

In the event of an equity restructuring, the administrator will make appropriate, proportionate adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if

 

142

applicable. In addition, the administrator will make equitable adjustments, as the administrator in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such equity restructuring, with respect to the aggregate number and type of shares subject to the 2015 Plan. The adjustments upon an equity restructuring are nondiscretionary and will be final and binding on the affected holders and the Company.

For purposes of the 2015 Plan, “equity restructuring” means a nonreciprocal transaction between us and our stockholders, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, that affects the number or kind of shares (or other securities) or the share price of our common stock (or other securities) and causes a change in the per share value of the common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards granted under the 2015 Plan. In the event of a stock split in connection with an offering, the administrator will proportionately adjust (i) the number of shares subject to any outstanding award under the 2015 Plan, (ii) the exercise or grant price of any such awards, if applicable, and (iii) the aggregate number of shares subject to the 2015 Plan.

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors or the compensation committee (with board approval) may terminate, amend or modify the 2015 Plan at any time and from time to time. However, we must generally obtain stockholder approval:

 

    to increase the number of shares available under the 2015 Plan (other than in connection with certain corporate events, as described above);

 

    reduce the price per share of any outstanding option or SAR granted under the 2015 Plan;

 

    cancel any option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award when the option or SAR price per share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares; or

 

    to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any NASDAQ rule).

Termination. Our board of directors may terminate the 2015 Plan at any time. No ISOs may be granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan after the 10th anniversary of the effective date of the 2015 Plan, and no additional annual share increases to the 2015 Plan’s aggregate share limit will occur from and after such anniversary. Any award that is outstanding on the termination date of the 2015 Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the 2015 Plan and the applicable award agreement.

We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of common stock issuable under the 2015 Plan.

2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

We assumed the 2008 Plan in connection with the Merger, and it continues to govern the ViewRay stock options assumed and converted by us in connection with the Merger. No further awards will be granted under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan was amended to increase the share reserve on June 17, 2010, July 14, 2010, September 16, 2011, August 8, 2012, February 7, 2013, May 8, 2013 and November 18, 2013. The 2008 Plan provided for the grant of ISOs, NSOs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and SARs. At September 30, 2015, options to purchase 6,011,160 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price per share of $2.11 remained outstanding under the 2008 Plan. No other equity awards have been granted under the 2008 Plan.

Administration . Our board of directors, or a committee thereof appointed by our board of directors, has the authority to administer the 2008 Plan and the awards granted under it. The administrator has the authority to select the employees to whom awards will be granted under the 2008 Plan, the size and type of awards to be subject to those awards under the 2008 Plan, and the terms and conditions of the awards granted. In addition, the administrator has the authority to construe and interpret the 2008 Plan, to establish, amend or waive rules and resolutions for the 2008 Plan’s administration and to amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding award as allowed under the 2008 Plan and such awards. The administrator may make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2008 Plan.

 

143


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Awards. The 2008 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock incentive awards, including ISOs and NSOs. In addition, no more than 206,896 shares subject to equity awards can be granted to any one participant in any calendar year. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award.

 

    Stock Option Awards . The 2008 Plan provides for the grant of ISOs under the federal tax laws or NSOs. ISOs may be granted only to employees. NSOs may be granted to employees, directors or consultants. The exercise price of ISOs granted to employees who at the time of grant own stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our common stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of ISOs granted to any other employees may not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of NSOs granted to employees, directors or consultants may not be less than (i) the minimum price required by applicable state law, (ii) the minimum price required by the company’s governing instrument or (iii) $0.01, whichever is greater. However, any option that is intended to avoid taxation under Section 409A of the Code must be granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. Shares subject to options under the 2008 Plan generally vest in a series of installments over an optionee’s period of service. In general, the maximum term of options granted is 10 years. The maximum term of ISOs granted to an optionee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our common stock is five years. Payment of the exercise price is generally made in cash, through a net share exercise election, or a promissory note. In general, options granted under the 2008 Plan will vest and become exercisable at such time as determined by the administrator.

 

    Stock Appreciation Rights . The 2008 Plan provides that we may issue SARs. Each SAR will be governed by a SAR agreement and may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2008 Plan will not be less than the exercise price for the option if the SAR is granted in connection with an option; otherwise the exercise price must be at least 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant; provided that any SAR that is intended to avoid taxation under Section 409A of the Code must be granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. There are no restrictions specified in the 2008 Plan on the exercise of SARs or the amount of gain realizable therefrom, although restrictions may be imposed by the administrator in the SAR agreements; provided that a SAR will not be exercisable for six months if the recipient of the SAR received a hardship distribution under our 401(k) plan. SARs under the 2008 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator. In general, SARs may not be sold or otherwise transferred and the maximum term of SARs granted is 10 years.

 

    Restricted Stock Awards . The 2008 Plan provides that we may issue restricted stock awards. Each restricted stock award will be governed by a restricted stock award agreement. Certain restrictions will be placed on the restricted shares of common stock that will vest as determined by the administrator. The administrator has the discretion to require a cash payment in exchange for a grant of restricted stock, but such payment is not required. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or expire. Holders of restricted stock will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse.

 

   

Restricted Stock Unit Awards . The 2008 Plan provides that we may issue restricted stock unit awards. Each restricted stock unit award will be governed by a restricted stock unit award agreement and may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration although the administrator may require payment in consideration of the restricted stock units, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the

administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

 

    Performance-Based Stock Awards . The 2008 Plan provides that we may issue performance-based stock awards. Each performance-based stock award will be governed by a performance-based stock award agreement and may be granted by the administrator as any of the above described equity awards. Generally, these awards will be based upon specific performance targets, in order to satisfy the requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code did not apply to us while we were a private company, so we did not issue any awards subject to this provision prior to termination of the 2008 Plan.

Adjustments. In the event of certain corporate transactions or capitalization changes, the administrator of the 2008 Plan may adjust the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2008 Plan, the limit on the number of shares that may be granted during a calendar year, the number and type of shares subject to outstanding wards and the exercise price of any options or SARs; provided that the administrator will be required to make such adjustments if such corporate transactions or capitalization changes constitute an “equity restructuring” as defined in ASC Topic 718.

Change of Control. If a change of control occurs, and if the agreements effectuating the change of control do not provide for the assumption or substitution of all options, SARs and restricted stock units granted under the 2008 Plan, then the administrator, may, with respect to any or all of such non-assumed options, SARs and restricted stock units, take any or all of the following actions to be effective as of the date of the change of control (or as of any other date fixed by the administrator occurring within the 30-day period ending on the date of the change of control, but only if such action remains contingent upon the effectuation of the change of control): (i) accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of any non-assumed options, SARs and restricted stock units; (ii) cancel any such options, SARs and restricted stock units which have not vested and/or which have not become exercisable, if applicable; (iii) cancel any such options, SARs and restricted stock units in exchange for shares or a cash payment or such other property; (iv) cancel any such options and SARs after a specified date after providing the holders of such options or SARs with an opportunity to exercise such options or SARs to the extent vested and/or exercisable and reasonable notice of such opportunity to exercise; (v) require and cause the exercise of any such options and SARs by a cashless or net share exercise; and/or (vi) cancel any such options, SARs and restricted stock units and notify the holders of such options, SARs or restricted stock units of such action, but only if the fair market value of the shares subject to the awards that are options or SARs does not exceed the exercise price of the options or SARs, or in the case of restricted stock units, the fair market value of the underlying shares is zero. If a change of control occurs, then, each other award besides an option, SAR or restricted stock unit will be governed by applicable law and the documents effectuating the change of control.

Amendment; Termination. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2008 Plan or any portion thereof at any time, but no action will diminish the rights of a holder of an outstanding award without the holder’s consent, unless there is a dissolution or liquidation of the company or as required by applicable law. Our board of directors can reprice all or any portion of outstanding options and SARs as it deems appropriate without the need for any stockholder approval. In connection with the Merger, the 2008 Plan has been terminated and no further awards will be granted under the 2008 Plan. However, all outstanding ViewRay stock options assumed in connection with the Merger will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering our shares of our common stock issuable under the 2008 Plan to cover the ViewRay stock options assumed in the Merger.

2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In connection with the Merger, we have adopted the ESPP, which became effective immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. The ESPP is designed to allow our eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock, at semi-annual intervals, with their accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.

Plan Administration . Subject to the terms and conditions of the ESPP, our compensation committee will administer the ESPP. Our compensation committee can delegate administrative tasks under the ESPP to the services of an agent and/or employees to assist in the administration of the ESPP. The administrator will have the discretionary authority to administer and interpret the ESPP. Interpretations and constructions of the administrator of any provision of the ESPP or of any rights thereunder will be conclusive and binding on all persons. We will bear all expenses and liabilities incurred by the ESPP administrator.

Shares Available Under ESPP . The maximum number of our shares of our common stock which will be authorized for sale under the ESPP is equal to the sum of (a) 285,621 shares of common stock and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2016 and ending in 2025, equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares of common stock as determined by our board of directors; provided, however, no more than 1,675,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the ESPP. The shares made available for sale under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

Eligible Employees . Employees eligible to participate in the ESPP for a given offering period generally include employees who are employed by us or one of our designated subsidiaries on the first day of the offering period, or the enrollment date. Our employees and any employees of our subsidiaries who customarily work less than five months in a calendar year or are customarily scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week will not be eligible to participate in the ESPP. Finally, an employee who owns (or is deemed to own through attribution) 5% or more of the combined voting power or value of all our classes of stock or of one of our subsidiaries will not be allowed to participate in the ESPP.

Participation . Employees will enroll under the ESPP by completing a payroll deduction form permitting the deduction from their compensation of at least 1% of their compensation but not more than the lesser of 15% of their compensation and $30,000 per offering period. Such payroll deductions are expressed as a whole number percentage and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each semi-annual purchase date. However, a participant may not purchase more than 3,000 shares in each offering period, and may not subscribe for more than $25,000 in fair market value of shares our common stock (determined at the time the option is granted) per calendar year falling in the offering period. The ESPP administrator has the authority to change these limitations for any subsequent offering period.

Offering . Under the ESPP, participants are offered the option to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount during a series of successive offering periods. The offering periods will commence and end on dates as determined by the ESPP administrator. However, in no event may an offering period be longer than 27 months in length.

The option purchase price will be the lower of 85% of the closing trading price per share of our common stock on the first trading date of an offering period in which a participant is enrolled or 85% of the closing trading price per share on the semi-annual purchase date, which will occur on the last trading day of each offering period.

Unless a participant has previously canceled his or her participation in the ESPP before the purchase date, the participant will be deemed to have exercised his or her option in full as of each purchase date. Upon exercise, the participant will purchase the number of whole shares that his or her accumulated payroll deductions will buy at the option purchase price, subject to the participation limitations listed above.

 

146


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

A participant may cancel his or her payroll deduction authorization at any time prior to the end of the offering period. Upon cancellation, the participant will have the option to either (a) receive a refund of the participant’s account balance in cash without interest or (b) exercise the participant’s option for the current offering period for the maximum number of shares of common stock on the applicable purchase date, with the remaining account balance refunded in cash without interest. Following at least one payroll deduction, a participant may also decrease (but not increase) his or her payroll deduction authorization once during any offering period. If a participant wants to increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding, he or she may do so effective for the next offering period by submitting a new form before the offering period for which such change is to be effective.

A participant may not assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account or any rights to exercise an option or to receive shares of our common stock under the ESPP, and during a participant’s lifetime, options in the ESPP shall be exercisable only by such participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will not be given effect.

Adjustments upon Changes in Recapitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale . In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by us, we will proportionately adjust the aggregate number of shares of our common stock offered under the ESPP, the number and price of shares which any participant has elected to purchase pursuant under the ESPP and the maximum number of shares which a participant may elect to purchase in any single offering period.

If there is a proposal to dissolve or liquidate us, then the ESPP will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, and any offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new purchase date to take place before the date of our dissolution or liquidation. We will notify each participant of such change in writing at least ten business days prior to the new exercise date. If we undergo a merger with or into another corporation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or the parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume the outstanding options or substitute equivalent options, then any offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new purchase date to take place before the date of our proposed sale or merger. We will notify each participant of such change in writing at least ten business days prior to the new exercise date.

Amendment and Termination . Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. However, the board of directors may not amend the ESPP without obtaining stockholder approval within 12 months before or after such amendment to the extent required by applicable laws. The ESPP will terminate on the 10th anniversary of the date of its initial approval of our stockholders, unless earlier terminated.

We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering our shares issuable under the ESPP.

Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plans

Our directors and executive officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy or sell shares of common stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from the director or executive officer. The director or executive officer may amend or terminate the plan in limited circumstances. Our directors and executive officers may also buy or sell additional shares of common stock outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material, nonpublic information.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

SEC rules require us to disclose any transaction or currently proposed transaction in which the Company is a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets as of the end of last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.

The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2012 to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of ViewRay’s pre-Merger capital stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation and other arrangements that are described in the section titled “Executive Compensation.” The following description is historical and has not been adjusted to give effect to the Merger or the share conversion ratio pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Sales and Purchases of Securities

Original Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Financing, Second Tranche

In March 2012, ViewRay issued an aggregate of 1,546,472 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock at a price per share of $15.12 for aggregate gross consideration of $26.3 million to 18 accredited investors, which included 646,114 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock that were issued pursuant to a conversion of $10.3 million aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes issued in our 2011 bridge financing. The shares of Series C convertible preferred stock issued in March 2012 were exchanged for shares of ViewRay Series B convertible preferred stock or ViewRay common stock, depending upon whether the holders of such shares participated in ViewRay’s Series D-2 convertible preferred stock financing, in our recapitalization effected in connection with the issuance of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock in June 2013, or the Recapitalization. Participating holders of ViewRay Series C convertible preferred stock received shares of Series B convertible preferred stock on a 1:1 basis in the Recapitalization, and non-participating holders of Series C convertible preferred stock received shares of ViewRay common stock on a 10:1 basis in the Recapitalization. The table below sets forth the number of shares of Series C convertible preferred stock sold or issued to our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of ViewRay’s pre-Merger capital stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof. Each outstanding share of ViewRay Series B convertible preferred stock was converted into 2.975 shares of our common stock in connection with the Merger.

License Agreement with University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.

In December 2004, we entered into a Standard Exclusive License Agreement with Sublicensing Terms with University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., or UFRF, under which we licensed certain patents from UFRF in exchange for royalty payments and an equity issuance, or the UFRF License Agreement. We entered into an amendment of the UFRF License Agreement in December 2007. Since December 2004, we have paid UFRF $226,000 in royalties and $63,000 in patent and legal fees pursuant to the terms of the UFRF License Agreement. In addition, we have issued 11,312 shares of common stock to UFRF pursuant to the terms of the UFRF License Agreement, which required us to issue UFRF a certain number of shares of common stock upon execution of the UFRF License Agreement, as well as issue UFRF additional shares of common stock to maintain UFRF’s ownership of 5% of our outstanding equity until certain financing conditions were satisfied. We have satisfied these financing conditions and have no further obligations to issue UFRF shares of our common stock pursuant to

the terms UFRF License Agreement. Prior to the consummation of the Private Placement, UFRF was a beneficial owner of approximately 0.10% of our capital stock on an as-converted basis. In connection with his former employment at the University of Florida and his role in the development of the licensed patents under the UFRF License Agreement, as amended, James F. Dempsey, Ph.D., our Chief Scientific Officer and a member of our board of directors, receives a percentage of the royalty payments we pay to UFRF and is entitled to a percentage of any proceeds from the sale of common stock by UFRF. Specifically, under the University of Florida’s intellectual property policy, Dr. Dempsey is entitled to (i) 40% of any royalty payments we pay to UFRF or proceeds from the sale of common stock by UFRF up to $500 thousand and then (ii) 25% of any royalty payments we pay to UFRF or proceeds from the sale of common stock by UFRF over $500 thousand. Mark Gold, M.D., a member of our board of directors since our founding in March 2004, was a Professor, Distinguished Professor and Chairman of Psychiatry at the University of Florida from 1990 until his retirement in June 2014.

Purchase Order with Cowealth Medical Holding Co. Ltd.

In 2014, we received two purchase orders from Cowealth Medical Holding Co. Ltd. (“Cowealth”), each for the purchase of a MRIdian system at $5.4 million per system. Also in 2014, we received a total of $1.5 million deposit in connection with these purchase orders. At December 31, 2014, these purchase orders were included in our backlog at a value of $10.8 million. Cowealth is the sole shareholder of Royal Seal Holding Co., Limited, which, prior to the consummation of this offering, beneficially owns approximately 3% of our outstanding capital stock on an as-converted basis. Philip Yang, who was a member of the our board of directors in 2014, is Vice President of International Procurement of Cowealth, where his responsibilities involve discovering, purchasing and sourcing the technology that Cowealth distributes as part of its international business.

Indemnification Agreements and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer.

In connection with the Merger, each of our new executive officers became employed with us under the terms of their employment agreement or offer letter, as applicable, with ViewRay.

Offer Letter to Doug Keare, Chief Operating Officer

In April 2015, ViewRay entered an offer letter with Mr. Keare that provides for employment at-will and annual base salary, annual target bonus (which is pro-rated for 2015), option awards and certain other benefits. Mr. Keare is also eligible for a sign-on bonus of $15,000, which is paid in 12 equal monthly installments beginning on April 30, 2015 (in connection with his commencement of employment with ViewRay). Mr. Keare will forfeit any unpaid portion of this bonus if he terminates his employment prior to April 30, 2016. His offer letter also contains certain non-disparagement and cooperation restrictive covenants (during Mr. Keare’s employment). Mr. Keare has also executed ViewRay’s standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement. Mr. Keare’s employment is terminable at-will.

The offer letter also provides Mr. Keare with certain severance and change of control benefits. In the event Mr. Keare is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason” (each, as defined his employment agreement) at any time within 12 months following a change of control, then in addition to the severance payments described below, the vesting of Mr. Keare’s option granted under his offer letter will accelerate in full.

In addition, in the event that Mr. Keare is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, subject to executing and not revoking a general release of all claims, then Mr. Keare is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to six months of his base salary plus one-half of his annual bonus for the year preceding the termination date payable in substantially equal installments over the six-month period following his termination.

Offer Letter to David Chandler, Chief Financial Officer

In November 2010, ViewRay entered into an offer letter with Mr. Chandler that provides for employment at-will and annual base salary, annual target bonus, option awards and certain other benefits. His offer letter also contains certain non-disparagement and non-competition restrictive covenants (during Mr. Chandler’s employment and for 12 months following termination of employment). Mr. Chandler has also executed ViewRay’s standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement, which contains certain non-competition covenants. In addition, ViewRay reimbursed or directly paid for the costs incurred by Mr. Chandler for housing and transportation in the greater Cleveland and San Francisco areas and commercial air travel from his residence to its offices in Ohio and California. Mr. Chandler’s employment is terminable at-will.

The offer letter also provides Mr. Chandler with certain severance and change of control benefits.

In addition, in the event that Mr. Chandler is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (each, as defined in his offer letter), subject to executing and not revoking a general release of all claims, then Mr. Chandler is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to six months of his base salary plus his annual bonus for the year preceding the termination date payable in substantially equal installments over the six-month period following his termination.

Other Transactions

We have granted stock options to our executive officers. For a description of these stock options granted to Messrs. Raanes and Brandt and Dr. Dempsey, see the section titled “Executive Compensation.” Upon the consummation of the Merger, each of Messrs. Keare and Chandler was granted an option to purchase 269,684 and 92,661 shares of our common stock, respectively, at an exercise price per share equal to $5. Mr. Keare’s options have a vesting commencement date of April 30, 2015 and will vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and in 36 installments thereafter on each monthly anniversary of that date, such that all shares will be vested on the fourth anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to his continuing to provide services to us through the applicable vesting date. Mr. Chandler’s options will vest and become exercisable in substantially equal monthly installments over the 4 years following the grant date, subject to his continuing to provide services to us through the applicable vesting date. We have also granted stock options to certain members of the board of directors. For a description of these stock options, see the section titled “Management—2013 Director Compensation Table.”

Policies and Procedures for Related-Person Transactions

Our board of directors has adopted a written related-person transaction policy, to be effective upon the consummation of the Merger, setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related-person transactions. This policy will cover, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our audit committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of this policy.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our common stock at December 14, 2015, by:

 

    each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of ViewRay’s pre-Merger outstanding shares of common stock;

 

    each of our directors;

 

    each of our named executive officers; and

 

    all current directors and executive officers as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power as well as any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of December 14, 2015 through the exercise of any stock option, warrants or other rights. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by such person.

The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 38,200,088 shares of common stock outstanding at December 14, 2015. Shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of December 14, 2015 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each beneficial owner listed in the table is c/o ViewRay, Inc., 2 Thermo Fisher Way, Oakwood Village, Ohio 44146.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

 

    U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

 

    persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

    persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

 

    banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

 

    brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

 

    “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

    partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

 

    tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

 

    persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

 

    persons who hold or receive our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and

 

    tax-qualified retirement plans.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

 

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

    a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

    an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

    a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and all substantial decisions of which are subject to the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions

As described in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “—Sale or Other Taxable Disposition.”

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

 

    the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

 

    the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

 

    our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

 

162


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our common stock, and will apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2019.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

ViewRay Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ViewRay Incorporated (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, stockholders’ capital deficiency and limited liquidity raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

ViewRay Incorporated, or the Company, designs, manufactures and markets MRIdian, the first and only MRI-guided radiation therapy system to image and treat cancer patients simultaneously.

Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts towards research and development, initial selling and marketing activities, raising capital and preparing for the manufacturing and shipment of MRIdian systems. In May 2012, the Company was granted clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to sell MRIdian. In November 2013, the Company received its first clinical acceptance of a MRIdian at a customer site, and the first patient was treated with that system in January 2014. The Company received permission to affix the CE mark in November 2014.

The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $152.0 million at December 31, 2014. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time that it can generate significant revenues from MRIdian systems. The Company’s primary source of liquidity to date has been through sales of convertible preferred stock, proceeds from various debt arrangements, initial sales of MRIdian systems and customer deposits received on future orders. In 2014, the Company raised a total of $14.9 million net proceeds through issuance of convertible promissory notes and Series C convertible preferred stock. In January and February 2015, the Company raised a total of $15.6 million net proceeds through issuance of Series C convertible preferred stock. The Company is involved in active financing negotiations; however, if a financing event does not occur, the Company is expected to exhaust its cash and cash equivalents during 2015. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and research and development efforts. There is no assurance that such financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. The Company is also subject to those risks associated with any early stage operating company that has working capital requirements and substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that MRIdian will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change, and is largely dependent on the services of its employees. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding of future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to: additional funding from current or new investors, refinancing existing debt obligations, and/or obtaining additional debt financing, and/or an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies, as described below and elsewhere in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and pursuant to the rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchanges Commission, or SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include those relating to the allocation of revenue to its multiple deliverable elements, inventory write-downs to reflect net realizable value, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based awards and a convertible preferred stock warrant, accrued losses from purchase commitments and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash primarily in checking and money market accounts.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2013, the Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit of $453 thousand to a governmental agency in connection with certain regulatory requirements for the Company’s radiation therapy product and to a customer in connection with the Company’s contractual obligations with such customer.

In February 2014, $350 thousand in outstanding irrevocable letters of credit were cancelled upon the satisfaction of the Company’s contractual obligations with such customer. In July 2014, the Company issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $450 thousand as a guarantee to a new lease agreement signed in 2014. In December 2014, as a performance guarantee in connection with the Company’s contractual obligations with a distributor, the Company issued another irrevocable standby letter of credit for $500 thousand.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had an aggregate of $1.1 million of outstanding letters of credit. The letters of credit are collateralized by a restricted cash deposit account, which is presented as part of noncurrent assets on the balance sheets because the Company is not certain when the restriction will be lifted on the collateralized letters of credit. As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, no amounts were drawn on the letters of credit.

Concentration of Credit Risk, Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in checking and money market accounts at one financial institution. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management believes the financial risk associated with these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires deposits from its customers. The Company’s accounts receivable was derived from grant revenue earned from the State of Ohio at December 31, 2013 (see Note 8), and from billing to a customer at December 31, 2014. The Company’s customers representing greater than 10% of accounts receivable and revenue for the periods presented were as follows:

 

     Revenue     Accounts Receivable  
     Year Ended

    December 31,

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of MRIdian, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, ability to maintain distributor relationships and dependence on key individuals. Furthermore, new products to be developed by the Company require approval from the FDA or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future products will receive the necessary clearances.

The Company relies on a concentrated number of suppliers to manufacture essentially all of the components used in MRIdian. The Company’s suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, including failure to comply with applicable regulations, including the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, equipment malfunction and environmental factors, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet demand.

Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is based on the assessment of the collectability of customer accounts.

Based on the specific customer and the current economic conditions, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded at December 31, 2013 and 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible preferred stock warrant liability and long-term debt. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value at the balance sheet dates, due to the short period of time to maturity. Accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date. The convertible preferred stock warrant liability is carried at fair value. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the stated interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company.

Inventory and Deposits on Purchased Inventory

Inventory consists of purchased components for assembling MRIdian systems and other direct and indirect costs associated with MRIdian system installation. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. All inventories expected to be placed in service during the Company’s normal operating cycle for the delivery and assembly of MRIdian systems, including items expected to be on hand for more than one year, are classified as current assets. The Company reduces the carrying value of its inventory for the difference between cost and net realizable value and records a charge to cost of product revenues for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to net realizable value. The Company recorded an inventory lower of cost and market adjustment of $4.6 million and $598 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The Company records inventory items which have been paid for but not yet received and titles have not yet transferred to the Company as deposits on purchased inventory. Deposits on purchased inventory are included within current assets as the related inventory items are expected to be received and used in MRIdian systems within the Company’s normal operating cycle. The Company assesses the recoverability of deposits on purchased inventory based on credit assessments of the vendors and their history supplying these assets. At December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any instances whereby deposits for purchased inventory were written off or the purchased inventory was not delivered.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs for product shipments to customers are included in cost of product revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases are capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of product revenue. These costs are not passed on to customers.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed over estimated useful lives, ranging from two to 15 years of the related assets using the straight-line method. Acquired software is recorded at cost. Amortization of acquired software generally occurs over three years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life or term of the lease. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is recorded to general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Routine expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization periods for property and equipment are as follows:

 

Property and Equipment

  

Estimated Useful Life

Prototype    2 years
Machinery and equipment    5 – 15 years
Furniture and fixture    5 – 10 years
Software    3 years
Leasehold improvements    Lesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term

Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes the costs incurred in obtaining certain licenses. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired a license to intellectual property associated with certain technology components incorporated into the Company’s systems for $500 thousand. The license cost is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including equipment, leasehold improvements, software and intangible assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the assets from the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charge) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value is recorded. There was no impairment loss recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes qualified legal, accounting and other direct costs related to its efforts to raise capital through a public sale of its common stock in its planned IPO. These costs are recorded in deferred offering costs in the accompanying balance sheets and will be deferred until the completion of the IPO, at which time they will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the IPO proceeds. If the Company terminates its plan for an IPO or significantly delays such plan, any deferred costs will be expensed at that time. At December 31, 2014, the Company capitalized $1.4 million of deferred IPO costs. No amounts were deferred as of December 31, 2013.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding transactions resulting from investment owners and distribution to owners. For the periods presented, comprehensive loss did not differ from net loss.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of the systems and related services, which are predominantly sales of MRIdian, as well as support and maintenance services on purchased systems. In all sales arrangements, the Company recognizes revenues when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred. For sales of MRIdian systems, the Company currently recognizes product revenue upon receipt of customer acceptance. For sales of the related support and maintenance services, the Company recognizes service revenue on a straight-line basis over the service contract term, which is typically 12 months.

Multiple Elements

Based on the nature of the Company’s business, it frequently enters into sales arrangements with customers that contain multiple elements or deliverables. In situations where a deliverable in a multi-element arrangement has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, the Company is required to allocate the fair value of the various elements based on the selling price of each element. The principal deliverables consist of (i) sale of MRIdian systems, which generally includes installation, site preparation and software, and (ii) product support, which includes extended service and maintenance.

The Company determines selling prices using vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, if it exists, or third party evidence, or TPE. If neither VSOE nor TPE exists for a deliverable, the Company uses best estimated selling price, or BESP. The Company allocates revenue to its multiple elements generally using the relative fair values as determined by BESP. The Company regularly reviews VSOE, TPE and BESP for all of its MRIdian systems and services.

Product Revenue

Product revenue is derived primarily from the sales of MRIdian. The system contains both software and non-software components that together deliver essential functionality. However, because MRIdian includes hardware products as well as software components that function together with the hardware components to deliver MRIdian’s essential functionality, the revenue from the sale of MRIdian systems does not fall within the scope of the software revenue recognition rules.

The related customer contracts currently call for on-site assembly of the system components and system integration. Once the system installation is completed, the Company performs a detailed demonstration with the customer showing that MRIdian meets the standard product specifications. After successful demonstration, the customer signs a document indicating customer acceptance. All contracts include customer deposits upon signing of the agreement with final payment generally due upon customer acceptance.

Revenue recognition for MRIdian systems generally occurs when the customer acknowledges that the system operates in accordance with standard product specifications, the customer accepts the installed unit and title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is derived primarily from maintenance services. Service revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period.

Grant Revenue

The Company receives payments for the achievement of certain milestones under government grants over a contractually defined period. These payments are nonrefundable. Government grants generally provide the Company with fixed payments and a contractually defined period. Grant revenues are recognized as milestones under the grant program are achieved and is earned through reimbursements for the qualifying expenses incurred by the Company.

The Company retains ownership and exclusive rights to all inventions made under these arrangements. Upon the completion of the Company’s government grants, no further obligations exist under these arrangements. The Company retains the rights to commercialize the technology it developed under government grants without any royalty obligations.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits represent payments received in advance of system installation. For domestic sales, advance payments received prior to customer acceptance are recorded as customer deposits. For international sales, advance payments are initially recorded as customer deposits and are subsequently reclassified to deferred revenue upon inventory shipment when the title and risk of loss of inventory items transferred to customers. All customer deposits, including those that are expected to be a deposit for more than one year, are classified as current liabilities based on consideration of the Company’s normal operating cycle (the time between acquisition of the inventory components and the final cash collection from customers on these inventory components) which is in excess of one year.

Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of deferred product revenue and deferred service revenue. Deferred product revenue arises from timing differences between the fulfillment of other contract deliverables and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred service revenue results from the advance billing for services to be delivered over a period of time. Deferred revenues expected to be realized within one year are classified as current liabilities.

Deferred cost of revenue consists of cost for inventory items that have been shipped with title and risk of loss transferred to customer but the customer acceptance has not been received. Deferred cost of revenue is included as part of current assets as the corresponding deferred product revenue are expected to be realized within one year. The inventories recorded in deferred cost of revenue are also included in the inventory lower of cost or market analysis. At December 31, 2014, no reserve was required for deferred cost of revenue.

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures, including payroll, contractor expenses and supplies, for research and development of products and manufacturing processes are expensed as incurred.

Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized through the general release of MRIdian systems that contain the embedded software elements. Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a working model. The Company has not capitalized any software development costs at December 31, 2013 or 2014, since the costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility and completing the research and development for the software components were immaterial.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the method for estimating the fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions

 

F-12

that determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the options’ expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation expense over the awards’ requisite service periods in the statements of operations. The Company attributes the value of share-based compensation to expense using the straight-line method.

Medical Device Excise Tax

Medical Device Excise Tax, or MDET, Section 4191 of the Internal Revenue Code enacted by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, in conjunction with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, established a 2.3% excise tax on medical devices sold domestically beginning on January 1, 2013. The Company included the cost of MDET in cost of product revenue during the year ended December 31, 2014, net of amounts directly billed to the customer for this tax, if any.

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commissions are the direct and incremental costs directly associated with the MRIdian system contracts with customers, which primarily consist of sales commissions to our direct sales force. The commissions are deferred and expensed in proportion to the revenue recognized upon the acceptance of the MRIdian system. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $221 thousand deferred commissions recorded as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets where, based upon the available evidence, management concludes that it is more-likely-than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including its operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Reserves are provided for tax benefits for which realization is uncertain. Such benefits are only recognized when the underlying tax position is considered more likely than not to be sustained on examination by a taxing authority, assuming they possess full knowledge of the position and facts. It is the Company’s policy to include any penalties and interest related to income taxes in its income tax provision; however, the Company currently has no penalties or interest related to income taxes. The earliest year that the Company is subject to examination is the year ended December 31, 2004.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

The Company’s warrant to purchase convertible preferred stock is classified as a liability on the balance sheets at fair value upon issuance because the warrant is exercisable for contingently redeemable preferred stock which is classified outside of stockholders’ deficit. The warrant is subject to re-measurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations as other income (expense),

 

F-13

net. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant, the conversion of the underlying shares of convertible preferred stock or the completion of a liquidation event or the completion of an IPO. Upon the exercise, expiration or the completion of the liquidation event, the related warrant liability will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Accrued Purchase Commitments

The Company has certain non-cancellable purchase commitments from outstanding purchase orders related to the manufacture of MRIdian systems. As part of the inventory lower of cost and market adjustment charged to cost of product revenue, the Company accrued the total purchase commitments of $1.5 million at December 31, 2013 as it relates to the determination of the total cost to complete a MRIdian system. The accrued purchase commitments are recorded as part of accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets as the Company expects to receive the inventory within its normal operating cycle.

The Company did not have any outstanding non-cancellable purchase commitments at December 31, 2014.

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company has one business activity, which is radiation therapy technology combined with magnetic resonance imaging, and operates in one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker, its chief executive officer, reviews its operating results on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Also, the Company does not have segment managers as the Company manages its operations as a single operating segment, and all of the Company’s revenues have been derived from customers located in the United States for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014. At December 31, 2013 and 2014, all long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Net Loss per Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The net loss attributable to common stockholders was not allocated to the convertible preferred stock under the two-class method as the convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the net loss attributable to common stockholders. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potential common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options and a warrant to purchase convertible preferred stock are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance that addresses the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits, or UTBs, against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in 2014 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. This new standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled

 

F-14


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to eliminate the accounting and reporting differences in GAAP between development stage entities and other operating entities, including the presentation of inception-to-date financial statement information and the development stage entity financial statement label. The amendment also clarified that the guidance related to Risks and Uncertainties is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. These changes will provide more consistent consolidation analysis and decisions among reporting entities. While these amendments are retrospectively effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, early adoption is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company elected early adoption in the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued an explicit requirement for management to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. In connection with each annual and interim period, management must assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Disclosures are required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. The new standard is effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. The Company has not elected to early adopt this accounting pronouncement.

4. FAIR VALUE FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The assets’ or liabilities’ fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value consist of Level 1 assets and Level 3 liabilities. Level 1 assets include highly liquid bank deposits and money market funds, which were not material at December 31, 2013 or 2014. Level 3 liabilities consist of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The convertible preferred stock warrant liability was valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Generally, increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying stock and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value of the warrant (see Note 13).

The convertible preferred stock warrant was issued in December 2013 and, therefore, was outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2014. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

5. DEBT

Notes Payable

On December 15, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the county redevelopment fund in the State of Ohio for a loan of up to $800 thousand to fund the renovation of the Company’s Ohio headquarters. The loan, which bore interest at 6% annually through the maturity date of December 31, 2009, is secured by the Company’s leasehold improvements. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the lender may forgive $240 thousand if the Company meets certain permanent job creation requirements within the State of Ohio. In July 2010, $560 thousand of principal and accrued interest through the loan maturity date were repaid. At December 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company had not met the permanent job creation requirements and as such the $240 thousand was not forgiven and remains a current liability. The notes payable of $240 thousand are due and demandable at any time and do not bear interest.

Term Loan

In December 2013, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the Term Loan, with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. and Hercules Technology III, L.P., or together, Hercules, for $15.0 million that was outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2014. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear cash interest at the greater of the annual prime rate plus 7.0% or 10.25%, which was 10.25% at December 31, 2013 and 2014. In addition, borrowings under the Term Loan bear deferred payment in-kind interest at 1.5% per annum. Interest only payments began in January 2014, with monthly principal and interest payments beginning on January 1, 2015 and the entire balance of the Term Loan are to be paid in full by the June 1, 2017 maturity date. The Term Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty of 5% on the outstanding balance during the first 12 months following the funding of the Term Loan and 1% on the outstanding balance thereafter until maturity. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of $466 thousand, which will be amortized to interest expense during the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. The discount included the fair value of a convertible preferred stock warrant that was issued with the Term Loan, as discussed in the following paragraph, and the related transaction costs. The Term Loan is collateralized by essentially all the Company’s assets and limits the Company’s ability with respect to additional indebtedness, investments or dividends, among other things, subject to customary exceptions.

In connection with the issuance of the Term Loan, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement with Hercules to issue a fully vested and exercisable warrant to purchase128,231 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock with an exercise price of $5.84 per share. The warrant is exercisable any time before the later of 10 years from issuance or five years after an IPO. The warrant will be automatically exercised immediately prior to expiration if the fair market value of one share of Series C convertible preferred stock is greater than the exercise price at the time of expiration. The warrant provides for anti-dilution rights on the Series C convertible preferred stock, which includes one-time down-round protection. The fair value of the warrant upon issuance of $158 thousand was recorded as convertible preferred stock warrant liability and a discount to the carrying value of the Term Loan. The fair value of the warrant at the time of issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of two years, expected volatility of 30%, risk-free interest rate of 0.4% and expected dividend yield of 0%. See Note 12 for assumptions used to estimate the fair value of convertible preferred stock warrant liability at December 31, 2013 and 2014.

2014 Convertible Promissory Notes

In August 2014, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Agreement, or the Convertible Note Agreement, with a majority of its current investors to sell convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million with the option to raise an additional $1.5 million, or 2014 Notes. The Company received gross proceeds of $3.9 million in August 2014 and $6.1 million in November 2014 under the Convertible Note Agreement. The 2014 Notes carried a simple interest rate of 8% per annum and were subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s other indebtedness. The 2014 Notes were to mature in November 2015 unless previously converted. The Convertible Note Agreement provided for the conversion of the 2014 Notes at the option of the majority investors, and at any time, into shares of Series C convertible preferred stock at the then applicable conversion price. In December 2014, the holders of the 2014 Notes opted to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest of $10.2 million into 1,739,405 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock at a price of $5.84 per share in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note Agreement. As of December 31, 2014, the 2014 Notes are no longer outstanding. In addition, the option to raise an additional $1.5 million under the Convertible Note Agreement expired unexercised in December 2014 and no more 2014 Notes will be issued under this agreement.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount.

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred. At December 31, 2014, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Purchase Commitments

At December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding firm purchase commitments.

 

7. LICENSING AGREEMENT

In December 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., or UFRF, whereby UFRF granted the Company a worldwide exclusive license to certain of UFRF’s patents in exchange for 33,652 shares of common stock and a royalty from sales of products developed and sold by the Company utilizing the licensed patents. The Company was obligated to meet certain product development and commercialization milestones by various dates through December 31, 2014. The significant milestones met prior to December 31, 2013 included: (i) completion of a business plan and Small Business Technology Transfer grant application; (ii) securing a minimum of $20.0 million venture financing; (iii) successful relocation and build out of Company headquarters; (iv) receipt of the first magnet from an OEM partner; (v) hiring of a chief executive officer with industry experience in developing and commercializing similar products; and (vi) filing for FDA approval. The final milestone, which required the Company to recognize the first commercial sale of the MRIdian system to retail customers by December 31, 2014, was met during the year ended December 31, 2013. If these milestones had not been accomplished, UFRF would have had the right to terminate the licensing agreement. Royalty payments are based on 1% of net sales, defined as the amount collected on sales of licensed products and/or licensed processes after deducting trade and/or quantity discounts, credits on returns and allowances, outbound transportation costs paid and sales tax. Minimum quarterly royalty payments of $50 thousand commenced with the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and are payable in advance. Minimum royalties paid in any calendar year will be credited against earned royalties for such calendar year. The royalty payments continue until the earlier of (i) the date that no licensed patents remain enforceable or (ii) the payment of earned royalties, once begun in 2014, cease for more than four consecutive calendars quarters. Royalty expenses based on 1% of net sales were $26 thousand and $137 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and were recorded as product cost of revenue in the accompanying statements of operations. The minimum royalty payments in excess of 1% of net sales were nil and $63 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

8. GRANT REVENUE

In April 2009, the Company and other collaborators were awarded a grant from the State of Ohio of up to $5.0 million in total support pursuant to the Third Frontier Biomedical Research Commercialization Program. The Company’s portion of this grant is $2.8 million. Consistent with the grant agreement, the funds become due to the Company upon written request to the grantor subsequent to the achievement of milestone and qualifying

expenditures being incurred. The terms of the grant obligate the Company to develop and commercialize MRIdian primarily at its headquarters in the State of Ohio, to raise certain amounts of new equity investment and to incur certain levels of expenditures to develop and market MRIdian. The grant revenue from this arrangement was recognized as these milestones were achieved during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, before the arrangement expired in April 2013.

 

9. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

In December 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with ltochu Corporation, or ltochu, a Japanese entity, pursuant to which the Company appointed ltochu as its exclusive distributor for the sale and delivery of the Company’s MRIdian products within Japan. In consideration of the exclusive distribution rights granted, ltochu agreed to pay a distribution fee of $4.0 million in three installments: (i) the first installment of $1.0 million was due upon execution of the distribution agreement; (ii) the second installment of $1.0 million is due within 10 business days following submission of the application for regulatory approval of the Company’s product to the Japan regulatory authority; and (iii) the final installment of $2.0 million is due within 10 business days following receipt of approval for the Company’s product from the Japan regulatory authority. The distribution fee paid by ltochu is refundable if the Company fails to obtain the approval from the Japan regulatory authority before December 31, 2017. The first installment of $1.0 million was received in December 2014 and was recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2014.

The exclusive distribution agreement has an initial term of 10 years, and contains features customary in such distribution agreements. Under this distribution agreement, the Company will supply its products and services to ltochu based upon the Company’s then-current pricing. In conjunction with the distribution agreement, Itochu also purchased $5.2 million of Series C convertible preferred stock in December 2014 at a price of $5.84 per share and became a stockholder of the Company (see Note 11).

11. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In February 2013, the Company raised $5.0 million through the sale and issuance of 983,558 shares of Series D-1 convertible preferred stock for $5.08 per share.

Recapitalization

In May and June 2013, the Company effected a recapitalization in connection with a Series D-2 convertible preferred stock financing, or the Series D-2 Offering. The Series D-2 Offering consisted of (i) the sale and issuance of 3,013,797 shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock for $15.3 million, or $5.08 per share, and (ii) the issuance of 3,196,417 shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock to participating investors in exchange for all then-outstanding dividends accrued on shares of Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible

 

F-21

preferred stock at an exchange rate equal to the sales price of the Series D-2 Offering of $5.08 per share. Non-participating holders of 1,470,485 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock received 147,051 shares of common stock, on a 10:1 basis, in exchange for these shares and accrued dividends of $1.4 million, or the Non-participating Exchange. At the closing of the Series D-2 Offering, all then-outstanding shares of Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (defined as all outstanding shares of Series B-1, Series C, Series D-1 and Series D-2 convertible preferred stock) were exchanged for an equal number of newly-issued shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, or the Participating Exchange, containing substantially similar rights to those contained in the Senior Convertible Preferred Stock except that (i) rights to dividends are no longer cumulative and therefore dividends accrue to holders of Series B convertible preferred stock only when declared and (ii) the liquidation preference for the prior shares of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock was increased. All shares of Senior Convertible Preferred Stock were surrendered and cancelled after the recapitalization.

The recapitalization was accounted for as an extinguishment of the Senior Convertible Preferred Stock which resulted in the following:

 

  For the Non-participating Exchange, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of Series C convertible preferred stock in the amount $8.8 million as the difference between the carrying value of the securities surrendered (i.e., carrying value of non-participating Series C convertible preferred stock and the related accrued dividends) and the fair value of the common stock issued in exchange. The $8.8 million gain was a deemed capital contribution to the holders of the common stock that was recognized as a decrease to net loss attributable to common stockholders and a decrease to accumulated deficit.

 

  For the Participating Exchange, the Company recognized a charge on extinguishment of participating Senior Convertible Preferred Stock as the difference between the carrying value of the securities surrendered (i.e., carrying value of the participating Senior Convertible Preferred Stock) and the fair value of the Series B convertible preferred stock issued in exchange. The $6.9 million charge was a deemed dividend that was recognized as an increase to net loss attributable to common stockholders and an increase to accumulated deficit.

In November 2013, the Company raised $15.0 million through the sale and issuance of 2,564,638 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock for $5.84 per share.

In December 2014, the Company issued 2,619,951 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, consisting of (i) the issuance of 880,546 shares for $5.2 million, or $5.84 per share, to Itochu in conjunction with the distribution agreement, and (ii) the issuance of 1,739,405 shares upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the 2014 Notes (see Note 5).

Index to Financial Statements

Prior to the completion of the recapitalization in June 2013, the rights, privileges and preferences of Series A, Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock were as follows:

Voting Rights

Each share of Series A, Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock was entitled to voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share could be converted. The shares possessed contain certain customary rights and protective provisions including anti-dilution protection, pre-emptive and protective rights in the event of future issuances of equity securities by the Company, rights to limit the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness without prior approval of a majority of the Series D-1 convertible preferred stock holders, registration rights in the event of a public offering of the Company’s common stock, right of first refusal and co-sale rights in the event of certain transfers of shares by or among shareholders, the ability of a majority of holders of convertible preferred stock to require the tender of all shares in the event of a sale of the Company and information rights.

The Company’s board of directors should consist of 11 members. The holders of Series A, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the board of directors. The holders of Series B-1, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect seven members of the board of directors. The holders of Series C, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the board of directors. The holders of common stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two members of the board of directors.

Conversion Rights

Each share of Series A, Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock was convertible by any holder at any time into common stock. The conversion rate was determined by dividing the purchase price applicable to such shares of convertible preferred stock ($3.99 for Series A and Series B-1 and $5.08 for Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock) by the conversion price ($3.99 for Series A and Series B-1 and $5.08 for Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock). Conversion of such shares was automatic upon the closing of an underwritten public offering with proceeds equal to or exceeding $15.25 per share, and in which the net proceeds received by the Company equal or exceed $50.0 million or the affirmative vote of holders of shares of convertible preferred stock representing at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Series A, Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock, voting together as a single class.

Adjustment of Conversion Price for Qualifying Dilutive Issuances

In the event the Company issued additional shares of common stock after the Series D-1 convertible preferred stock original issue date without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then and in each such event the conversion price would have been reduced to a price equal to such conversion price multiplied by the following fraction:

 

    the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the product of the number of shares of common stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance) and (ii) the product of the number of additional shares of common stock so issued and the average price per share received by the Company for the additional shares of common stock so issued); and

 

    the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of additional shares of common stock so issued.

Dividends

Holders of Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock, in preference to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock, were entitled to receive cash dividends at the per annum rate of

 

F-24


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

8% of the convertible preferred stock purchase price. Such payments were to be paid in order of preference (Series D-1, Series C, Series B-1 convertible preferred stock). Dividends were cumulative from the date of issuance of the respective convertible preferred stock until paid. Holders of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cash dividends at the per annum rate of 8% of the Series B-1 convertible preferred stock original issue price of $3.99 per share and such dividend was cumulative. Holders of Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cash dividends at the per annum rate of 8% of the Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock original issue price of $5.08 per share and such dividend was cumulative.

So long as 20% of the Series D-1 convertible preferred stock remained outstanding, the Company would not pay or declare any dividend on shares other than Series D-1 convertible preferred stock without the consent of the Series D-1 convertible preferred stockholders. In the event dividends were paid on any share of common stock, the Company would have paid an additional dividend on all outstanding shares of Series A, Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock in a per share amount equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock-basis) to the amount paid or set aside for each share of common stock.

Liquidation Preferences

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or a corporate organization, the holders of Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock were entitled to be paid out of Company assets before any payment was to be made to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock. Holders of Series A convertible preferred stock were entitled to be paid out of any remaining assets in the event of a liquidation event before any payment was to be made to the holders of common stock. Upon the completion of distributions required to satisfy the convertible preferred stock liquidation preferences, any remaining assets were to be distributed pro rata among the holders of convertible preferred stock and common stock, treating all convertible preferred stock as if it were converted to common stock.

The Series C and D-1 convertible preferred stock liquidation preference was equal to the sum of $5.08 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared and any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. The Series B-1 convertible preferred stock liquidation preference was equal to the sum of $3.99 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. The Series A convertible preferred stock liquidation preference was $18.52 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. The liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock was subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other recapitalization affecting such shares.

Redemption

The Series A, Series B-1, Series C and Series D-1 convertible preferred stock was not redeemable at the option of the holder. The convertible preferred stock was classified outside of stockholders’ deficit because, in the event of certain “liquidation events” that are not solely within the Company’s control (including a dissolution, change of control, acquisition, asset sale or winding up of the Company), the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders. The Company did not adjust the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock to the deemed liquidation values of such shares since a liquidation event was not probable at any of the balance sheet dates. Subsequent adjustments to increase or decrease the carrying values to the ultimate liquidation values will be made only if and when it becomes probable that such a liquidation event will occur.

At December 31, 2013 and 2014, the rights, privileges and preferences of Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock (collectively, convertible preferred stock) are as follows:

Voting Rights

Each share of convertible preferred stock is entitled to voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share can be converted.

The convertible preferred stock terms contain certain customary rights and protective provisions including anti-dilution protection, pre-emptive and protective rights in the event of future issuances of equity securities by the Company, rights to limit the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness without prior approval of a majority of the convertible preferred stock holders, registration rights in the event of a public offering of the Company’s common stock, right of first refusal and co-sale rights in the event of certain transfers of shares by or among shareholders, the ability of a majority of holders of convertible preferred stock to require the tender of all shares in the event of a sale of the Company and information rights.

The Company’s board of directors consists of 10 members. The holders of Series A convertible preferred stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the board of directors. The holders of Series B convertible preferred stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect eight members of the board of directors. The holders of Series C convertible preferred stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the board of directors. The holders of common stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two member of the board of directors.

Conversion Rights

Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible by any holder at any time into common stock. The conversion rate is determined by dividing the purchase price applicable to such shares of convertible preferred stock ($3.99 for Series A, $5.08 for Series B and $5.84 for Series C convertible preferred stock) by the conversion price ($3.99 for Series A, $5.08 for Series B and $5.84 for Series C convertible preferred stock). Conversion of convertible preferred stock is automatic upon the closing of an underwritten public offering with proceeds equal to or exceeding $18.55 per share, and in which the net proceeds received by the Company equal

or exceed $50.0 million or the affirmative vote of holders of shares of convertible preferred stock representing at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock, voting together as a single class.

Adjustment of Conversion Price for Qualifying Dilutive Issuances

In the event the Company issues additional shares of common stock after the Series C convertible preferred stock original issue date without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then and in each such event the conversion price will be reduced to a price equal to such conversion price multiplied by the following fraction:

 

    the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the product of the number of shares of common stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issuance) and (ii) the product of the number of additional shares of common stock so issued and the average price per share received by the Company for the additional shares of common stock so issued); and

 

    the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of additional shares of common stock so issued.

Dividends

Holders of Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock, in preference to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock, are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cash dividends at the per annum rate of 8% of the convertible preferred stock purchase price and such dividend is noncumulative. Holders of Series B convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cash dividends at the per annum rate of 8% of the Series B convertible preferred stock original issue price of $5.08 per share. Holders of Series C convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cash dividends at the per annum rate of 8% of the Series C convertible preferred stock original issue price of $5.84 per share and such dividend is noncumulative.

So long as any senior shares of convertible preferred stock are outstanding, the Company will not pay or declare any dividend on Series A convertible preferred stock or common stock until all dividends on the Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock have been declared and paid. In the event dividends are paid on any share of Series A convertible preferred stock or common stock, the Company will pay an additional dividend on all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock in a per share amount equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock-basis) to the amount paid or set aside for each share of common stock.

Liquidation Preferences

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or corporate reorganization, holders of Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock are entitled to be paid out of Company assets before any payment will be made to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock. Holders of Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to be paid out of any remaining assets in the event of a liquidation event before any payment will be made to the holders of common stock. Upon the completion of distributions required to satisfy the convertible preferred stock liquidation preferences, any remaining assets will be distributed pro rata among the holders of convertible preferred stock and common stock, treating all convertible preferred stock as if it were converted to common stock.

The Series C convertible preferred stock liquidation preference is equal to the sum of $5.84 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. The Series B convertible preferred stock liquidation preference is equal to the sum of $5.08 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. The Series A

 

F-27

convertible preferred stock liquidation preference is $18.52 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. The liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other recapitalization affecting such shares.

Redemption

The convertible preferred stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder. The convertible preferred stock was classified outside of stockholders’ deficit because, in the event of certain “liquidation events” that are not solely within the Company’s control (including a dissolution, change of control, acquisition, asset sale or winding up of the Company), the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders. The Company did not adjust the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock to the deemed liquidation values of such shares since a liquidation event was not probable at any of the balance sheet dates. Subsequent adjustments to increase or decrease the carrying values to the ultimate liquidation values will be made only if and when it becomes probable that such a liquidation event will occur.

 

12. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK WARRANT

The Company has an outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant related to a 2013 debt financing (see Note 5) whereby the Company issued a warrant to purchase 128,231 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock warrant was recorded as a liability and is adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date, with the change in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the statements of operations. Upon issuance, the fair value of the warrant was estimated to be $158 thousand. Due to the close proximity of the issuance date in December 2013 to the year end, no mark to market adjustment was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company recorded a gain of $20 thousand related to the change in fair value of preferred stock warrant liability as part of other income (expense), net in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The key terms of the outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant and the convertible preferred stock warrant liability at December 31, 2013 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2008 Plan, provides for the grant of stock and stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, advisors and consultants, including stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. The purpose of the 2008 Plan is to promote the interests of the Company by providing the opportunity to purchase or receive shares or to receive compensation that is based upon appreciation in the value of the shares to eligible recipients, as defined, in order to attract and retain employees and provide additional incentive to work to increase the value of shares and a stake in the future of the Company. During 2008, the Company issued to an officer a stock option for 38,059 shares outside of the 2008 Plan with an exercise price of $0.80 per share which vested over three years. These options were unexercised and expired in September 2014. The compensation expense related to stock options outside of the 2008 Plan were insignificant during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.

Options granted may be either incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees with exercise prices of no less than the fair value of the common stock on the grant date and nonstatutory options may be granted to employees or consultants at exercise prices of no less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock on the grant date, as determined by the board of directors. If, at the time of grant, the optionee owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, a 10% shareholder, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair value of the common stock on the grant date as determined by the board of directors. Options become exercisable generally ratably over four years. Options granted under the 2008 Plan expire in 10 years from the date of grant, or five years from the date of grant for 10% shareholders.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 was $0.35 and $0.42 per share, respectively. The grant date fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 was $72 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was insignificant during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.

At December 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $682 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

Determination of Fair Value

The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables used to calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, expected price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Fair Value of Common Stock

The fair value of the common stock underlying the stock-based awards was determined by the Company’s board of directors, with input from management and third-party valuations.

Expected Term

The expected term represents the period that the Company’s option awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company considers several factors in estimating the expected term of options granted, including the expected lives used by a peer group of companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to its business and the historical option exercise behavior of its employees, which the Company believes is representative of future behavior.

Expected Volatility

As the Company does not have a trading history for its common stock, the expected stock price volatility for the Company’s common stock was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the Company’s industry which were the same as the comparable companies used in the common stock valuation analysis. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be used in the calculation.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes, with maturities similar to the expected term of the options.

Expected Dividend Yield

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option-valuation model.

In addition to the Black-Scholes assumptions discussed immediately above, the estimated forfeiture rate also has a significant impact on the related stock-based compensation. The forfeiture rate of stock options is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

The fair value of employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     December 31,  
     2013     2014  

Expected term (in years)

     6.2        5.7   

Expected volatility

     52.4     50.7

Risk-free interest rate

     1.2     1.8

     0     0

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s statements of operations is classified as follows (in thousands):

 

     Year Ended December 31,  
     2013      2014  

Research and development

   $ 219       $ 318   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, there were no stock-based compensation expenses capitalized as a component of inventory or recognized in cost of revenue. Stock-based compensation relating to stock-based awards granted to consultants was insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.

 

14. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The principal components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2014 (in thousands):

The Company maintains a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax asset position when management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $13.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2014.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $125.3 million, which begin to expire in the year ended December 31, 2024, and a tax benefit of $1.5 million related to state net operating loss carryforwards, which begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2019. The Company had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $2.4 million at the year ended December 31, 2014. These credits expire at various dates through the year ending December 31, 2024.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, net operating loss and credit carryforwards and other tax attributes may be subject to limitation if there has been a significant change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the IRC. The Company believes it has experienced at least one ownership change in the past. The Company is currently analyzing the tax impact of such ownership change on its federal net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Future owner or equity shifts, including an IPO, could result in limitations on net operating loss and credit carryforwards.

Because of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards, all of the Company’s federal tax returns and state returns since the year ended December 31, 2004 remain subject to federal and California examination.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. The Company evaluates these tax positions on an annual basis. In addition, the Company also accrues for potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At December 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

In January 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 162,407 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock to Itochu and another new investor at a price of $5.84 per share for a total gross consideration of $950 thousand (see Note 9).

In February 2015, the Company issued 2,564,652 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock to a new investor at a price of 5.84 per share for total gross consideration of $15.0 million (see Note 11). The new investor will have the right to appoint one director to serve on our board.

At March 25, 2015, the Company effected a 1-for-7.25 reverse stock split of the Company’s then outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as “Capital Stock”) and convertible preferred stock warrants, in which (i) each 7.25 shares of outstanding Capital Stock were combined into 1 share of Capital Stock; (ii) the number of outstanding options to purchase each Capital Stock was proportionately reduced on a 1-for-7.25 basis; (iii) number of shares reserved for future option grants under the 2008 Plan were proportionately reduced on a 1-for-7.25 basis; (iv) the exercise price of each such outstanding option was

proportionately increased on a 1-for-7.25 basis; and (v) each 7.25 shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant were combined into 1 share of convertible preferred stock warrant. All of the share and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-7.25 reverse stock split (Notes 2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15).

At July 23, 2015, the Company effected a 2.975-for-1 stock split of the Company’s then outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as “Capital Stock”) and convertible preferred stock warrants, in which (i) each share of outstanding Capital Stock was increased into 2.975 shares of Capital Stock; (ii) the number of outstanding options to purchase each Capital Stock was proportionately increased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; (iii) number of shares reserved for future option grants under the 2008 Plan were proportionately increased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; (iv) the exercise price of each such outstanding option was proportionately decreased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; and (v) each share of outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant was increased into 2.975 shares of convertible preferred stock warrant. All of the share and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 2.975-for-1 stock split (Notes 2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Background and Organization

On July 23, 2015, ViewRay, Inc. (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), or the Company, and ViewRay Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a ViewRay Incorporated), consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. contributed all of their equity interests to the Company for shares of the Company’s common stock and merged with the Company’s subsidiary, which resulted in ViewRay Technologies, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger). Refer to Note 4 for further information on the Merger.

ViewRay, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary ViewRay Technologies, Inc., designs, manufactures and markets MRIdian, the first and only MRI-guided radiation therapy system to image and treat cancer patients simultaneously.

Since inception, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. has devoted substantially all of its efforts towards research and development, initial selling and marketing activities, raising capital and preparing for the manufacturing and shipment of MRIdian systems. In May 2012, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. was granted clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to sell MRIdian. In November 2013, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. received its first clinical acceptance of a MRIdian at a customer site, and the first patient was treated with that system in January 2014. ViewRay Technologies, Inc. received permission to affix the CE mark in November 2014.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies, as described below and elsewhere in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and pursuant to the rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchanges Commission, or SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allocation of revenue to its multiple deliverable elements, inventory write-downs to reflect net realizable value, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based awards, accrued losses from purchase commitments, and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory

Inventory consists of purchased components for assembling MRIdian systems and other direct and indirect costs associated with MRIdian system installation. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. All inventories expected to be placed in service during ViewRay Technologies, Inc. normal operating cycle for the delivery and assembly of MRIdian systems, including items expected to be on hand for more than one year, are classified as current assets.

Effective January 1, 2015, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. made a voluntary change to its accounting policy for inventory cost basis. Under the previous accounting policy, the Company recorded inventory items on a first-in, first-out basis through specific identification. Purchased components were assigned to each MRIdian system at original cost. Under the new accounting policy, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. recorded inventory at weighted average cost basis.

The Company believes that this change is preferable because it will be more efficient for the Company to keep track of its inventory cost. The first-in, first-out cost basis through specific identification accounting policy was manageable at the time since ViewRay Technologies, Inc. had limited MRIdian system installations (one MRIdian system installation during the year ended December 31, 2013, and another two MRIdian system installation during the year ended December 31, 2014). However, due to the Company’s growing business and sales, the number of planned MRIdian system installation has been increasing. Purchased components are no longer assigned to specific MRIdian system installation. Along with the Company’s increased components purchasing activities, the new accounting policy will significantly reduce the Company’s burden and cost of inventory management.

In accordance with applicable accounting literature, a change in inventory cost basis is treated as a change in accounting principle and requires retrospective application. The accounting policy change has no cumulative effect on ViewRay Technologies, Inc. annual statements of operations prior to January 1, 2015, an immaterial effect on ViewRay Technologies, Inc. interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. Therefore, no retrospective adjustment of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements are required, and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is not revised for the immaterial impact from the accounting policy change.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015 the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The Company is reviewing the provisions of ASU 2015-11 and expects that the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires all debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt. Under ASU 2015-03, the presentation of debt issuance costs is consistent with the presentation for a debt discount, which is a direct adjustment to the carrying value of the debt. Accordingly, the amortization of such costs should continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has recorded the debt issuance cost related to the Term Loan issued in June 2015 as a debt discount, and amortized to interest expense during the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. See Note 7, Term Loan.

3. Going Concern

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company currently has limited working capital, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

 

4. Merger

On July 23, 2015, ViewRay, Inc. (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), or the Company, and ViewRay Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a ViewRay Incorporated), consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of ViewRay Technologies, Inc. contributed all of their equity interests to the Company for shares of the Company’s common stock and merged with the Company’s subsidiary, which resulted in ViewRay Technologies, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger). Effective as of July 23, 2015, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized common stock to 300,000,000 shares and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share.

Upon the closing of the Merger, under the terms of the Split-Off Agreement, dated July 23, 2015 among the Company, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. and Vesuvius Acquisition Sub, Inc., the acquisition subsidiary of the Company (the Split-Off Agreement), and a general release agreement dated July 23, 2015 (the General Release Agreement), the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to wholly- owned special-purpose subsidiary incorporated in Nevada, Vesuvius Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the Split-Off Subsidiary). Thereafter, the Company transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Split-Off Subsidiary to certain pre-Merger insiders of the Company in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such persons.

Together with the Merger, on July 23, 2015, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. effected a 2.975-for-1 stock split of its then outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as “Capital Stock”) and convertible preferred stock warrants, in which (i) each share of outstanding Capital Stock was increased into 2.975 shares of Capital Stock; (ii) the number of outstanding options to purchase each Capital Stock was proportionately increased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; (iii) number of shares reserved for future option grants under the 2008 Plan were proportionately increased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; (iv) the exercise price of each such outstanding option was proportionately decreased on a 2.975-for-1 basis; and (v) each share of outstanding convertible preferred stock warrant was increased into 2.975 shares of convertible preferred stock warrant. All of the share and per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 2.975-for-1 stock split.

At the closing of the Merger, the Company conducted a private placement offering, or the Private Placement, of its securities for $26.2 million, net of offering cost, through the sale of 5,884,504 shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation, at an offering price of $5.00 per share. Investors in ViewRay Technologies, Inc. purchased $17.0 million of shares in the Private Placement. Certain shareholders of the Company retained, after giving effect to the Split-Off, 1,000,005 shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation upon the Private Placement. The former stockholders of ViewRay Technologies Inc. collectively own approximately 90.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value mainly consist of Level 1 assets and Level 3 liabilities. Level 1 assets include highly liquid bank deposits and money market funds, which were not material at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Level 3 liabilities consist of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The convertible preferred stock warrant liability was valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Generally, increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying stock and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value of the warrant (see Note 8).

The convertible preferred stock warrants were issued in December 2013 and were still outstanding at December 31, 2014. In July 2015, upon the Merger of the Company and ViewRay Technologies, Inc., and the Private Placement, the convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The aggregate fair value of these warrants upon the closing of the Merger is $93 thousand which was reclassified from liabilities to common stock additional paid-in-capital, a component of condensed consolidated stockholder’s equity (deficit), and the Company ceased recording further related periodic fair value change adjustments.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

7. Term Loan

2015 Term Loan

On June 26, 2015, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. entered into a Term Loan Agreement, or the Term Loan, with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P and Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P or together, CRG, for up to $50.0 million of which $30.0 million was made available to us upon closing with the remaining $20.0 million to be available on or before June 26, 2016 at our option upon the occurrence of either (i) an initial public offering of our common stock on a nationally recognized securities exchange that raises a minimum of $40.0 million in net cash proceeds with a minimum of $120.0 million post-money valuation, or Qualifying IPO, or (ii) achievement of a minimum of $25.0 million gross revenue from the sales of the MRIdian system during any consecutive 12 months before March 31, 2016. We drew down the first $30.0 million on closing date. The Term Loan has a maturity date of June 26, 2020 and bears cash interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum to be paid quarterly during the first 3 years, or the interest-payment-only period. The interest-payment-only period can be extended for another year until June 26, 2019 if the Company completes a Qualifying IPO on or before June 26, 2018. During the interest-payment-only period, the Company has the option to elect to pay only 8% of the 12.5% per annum interest in cash, and the remaining 4.5% of the 12.5% per annum interest as compounded interest, or deferred payment in-kind interest, added to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. Principal payment and any deferred payment in-kind interest will be paid quarterly in equal installments following the end of the interest-payment-only period through maturity date.

The Term Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty of 3% on the outstanding balance during the first 12 months following the funding of the Term Loan, 2% on the outstanding balance after year 1 but on or before year 2, 1% on the outstanding balance after year 2 but on or before year 3, and 0% on the outstanding loan if prepaid after year 3 thereafter until maturity. The Term Loan is also subject to a facility fee of 5% based on the sum of the Term Loan drawn and any outstanding payment in-kind payable on maturity date or the date such Term Loan becomes due for whatever reason. All direct financing costs were accounted for as a discount on the Term Loan and will be amortized to interest expense during the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. The Term Loan is subject to financial covenants and is collateralized by essentially all our assets and limits the Company’s ability with respect to additional indebtedness, investments or dividends, among other things, subject to customary exceptions.

On June 26, 2015, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. paid off in full the outstanding term loan, the related interest and other penalty fee with Hercules Technology III, L.P. and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., or together, Hercules, using part of the proceeds received from the CRG Term Loan. Hercules Term Loan was entered in December 2013.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount.

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Purchase Commitments

At September 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding firm purchase commitments.

 

9. Convertible Preferred Stock

In January 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 162,407 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock to a new investor at a price of $5.84 per share for a total gross consideration of $950 thousand.

In February 2015, the Company issued 2,564,652 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock to another investor at a price of $5.84 per share for total gross consideration of $15.0 million.

The rights, privileges and preferences of the issued Series C convertible preferred stock in January and February 2015 are the same as the Series C convertible preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014.

On July 23, 2015, upon the closing of the Merger, all of ViewRay Technologies, Inc.’s 30,381,987 shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock were converted into the Company’s common stock at a 1:1 conversion rate.

10. Stock Warrant

Related to a 2013 debt financing, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 128,231 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock warrant was recorded as a liability and is adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date, with the change in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon issuance, the fair value of the warrant was estimated to be $158 thousand. As of December 31, 2014, the warrant had not been exercised and was still outstanding. Change in the fair value of the warrant was ($6) thousand and $19 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and $45 thousand and $74 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

All shares of Series C convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock, and the warrant to purchase Series C convertible preferred stock was converted into the warrant to purchase 128,231 shares of the Company’s common stock, upon the closing of the Merger on July 23, 2015. The fair value of the preferred stock warrant liability of $93 thousand was reclassed into common stock additional paid-in capital in the accompanying balance sheets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Related to the Merger and the Private Placement, in July and August 2015, the Company issued 198,760 shares of common stock warrants at an exercise price of $5.00 per share to private placement agents as payment for services provided. These placement warrants are exercisable at any time at the option of the holder until the five year anniversary of its date of issuance. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of each placement warrant is adjustable in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares and similar transactions. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price of the warrants issued are payable by the holders in cash.

The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the warrants issued to placement agents as of the grant date to be $316 thousand and recorded as an offering cost against the total proceeds from the Private Placement recorded in common stock additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of September 30, 2015.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees was $3.13 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The grant date fair value of options vested was $390 thousand during nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options.

At September 30, 2015, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $5.6 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

Determination of Fair Value

The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables used to calculate the fair value of stock options using the

 

F-49


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Black-Scholes option-pricing model include actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, expected price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Fair Value of Common Stock

Prior to the Merger, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock-based awards was determined by ViewRay Technologies, Inc.’s board of directors, with input from management and third-party valuations. Post-Merger, our common stock shares are listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. Fair value of the common stock is the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date.

Expected Term

The expected term represents the period that the Company’s option awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company considers several factors in estimating the expected term of options granted, including the expected lives used by a peer group of companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to its business and the historical option exercise behavior of its employees, which the Company believes is representative of future behavior.

Expected Volatility

As the Company does not have a sufficient trading history for its common stock, the expected stock price volatility for the Company’s common stock was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the Company’s industry which were the same as the comparable companies used in the common stock valuation analysis. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be used in the calculation.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes, with maturities similar to the expected term of the options.

Expected Dividend Yield

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option-valuation model.

In addition to the Black-Scholes assumptions discussed immediately above, the estimated forfeiture rate also has a significant impact on the related stock-based compensation. The forfeiture rate of stock options is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the weighted average fair value of employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions. 1,911,137 shares were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

VIEWRAY INCORPORATED AND MIRAX CORP.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On July 23, 2015, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a ViewRay Incorporated), or the Company, and ViewRay, Inc. (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), or Mirax, consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of ViewRay contributed all of their equity interests in the Company to Mirax for shares of Mirax common stock, which resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirax (the Merger).

Effective as of July 23, 2015, Mirax amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized common stock to 300,000,000 shares and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share.

Upon closing of the Merger, under the terms of the Split-Off Agreement, dated July 23, 2015 among the Company, Mirax and Vesuvius Acquisition Sub, Inc., the acquisition subsidiary of Mirax (the Split-Off Agreement), and a general release agreement dated July 23, 2015 (the General Release Agreement), Mirax transferred all of its pre-Merger operating assets and liabilities to wholly- owned special-purpose subsidiary incorporated in Nevada, Mirax Enterprise Corp. (the Split-Off Subsidiary). Thereafter, Mirax transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Split-Off Subsidiary to certain pre-Merger insiders of Mirax in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of shares of Mirax common stock held by such persons.

At the closing of the merger, the surviving corporation conducted and completed a private placement offering of its securities for $29.4 million through the sale of 5,884,504 shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation, at an offering price of $5.00 per share. Existing ViewRay investors purchased $17.0 million of shares in the private placement offering. Certain shareholders of Mirax retained, after giving effect to the Split-Off, 1,000,005 shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation upon the private placement offering. The former stockholders of the Company collectively own approximately 90.88% of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation’s common stock.

Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the surviving corporation’s outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis) are owned as follows:

 

  Former holders of the Company’s capital stock hold an aggregate of 31,315,579 shares of the surviving corporation’s common stock, or approximately 66.58% on a fully diluted basis;

 

  The Private Placement Offering, or the PPO, resulted in an aggregate of 5,884,504 shares of the surviving corporation’s common stock, consisting of 3,400,003 shares held by existing Company shareholders and 2,484,502 shares issued to new shareholders, or together approximately 12.32% on a fully diluted basis;

 

  198,760 shares of common stock issued as warrants to placement agents as payment for services provided, or approximately 0.4% on a fully diluted basis;

 

  Holders of Mirax common stock prior to the closing of the Merger hold an aggregate of 1,000,005 shares of the surviving corporation’s common stock, or approximately 2.09% on a fully diluted basis; and

 

  9,225,397 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2008 Plan, and the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan of ViewRay, or the 2015 Plan, collectively representing approximately 19.32% on a fully diluted basis. Upon closing, 1,507,147 options to purchase shares of the surviving corporation’s common stock are granted to employees under the 2015 Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors of the surviving corporation will adopt a 285,621-share Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. The Company is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and Mirax is the acquired company under the acquisition method of accounting in

accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combination . Consequently, the assets, liabilities and operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of the Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger will include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company up to the day prior to the closing of the Merger and the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on individual historical financial statements of the Company and Mirax prepared under U.S. GAAP and is adjusted to give effect to the Merger Agreement.

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give effects to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined entities. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations eliminate any non-recurring charges directly related to the Merger that the combined entities incur upon completion of the Merger.

Since the Merger took place in the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2015, the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations combine the Company’s historical statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with Mirax historical statements of operations for the six months ended May 31, 2015, giving effect to the events that are directly attributable to the Merger, at the Merger closing date of July 23, 2015, and that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. Between the six months ended period of May 31, 2015 and the Merger date of July 23, 2015, Mirax did not have any material transactions, therefore there was no material charge for Mirax statement of operations for the period ended July 23, 2015 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2015 as presented in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. The difference in fiscal periods between the Company and Mirax does not result to material misstatement in the combined pro-forma financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to represent what the combined company’s results of operations or financial position would actually have been had the Merger occurred on the dates described above or to project the combined company’s results of operations or financial position for any future date or period.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read together with Viewray, Inc.’s unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 and statements of operations, statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the accompanying notes, and (2) Mirax Corp. unaudited balance sheet as of May 31, 2015 and the related statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 2015 and the accompanying notes.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have adopted provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

    any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

    any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or

 

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated bylaws provide that:

 

    we may indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions;

 

    we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions; and

    the rights provided in our amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein. We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. In addition, we have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

The following list sets forth information as to all ViewRay and our securities sold since January 1, 2015 through October 1, 2015, which were not registered under the Securities Act.

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

We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraphs (10)-(11) above under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, in that such sales and issuances did not involve a public offering, or under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration

  statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

  5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

  6. The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  a. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations);

 

  b. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  c. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  d. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant

has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 23, 2015, by and among ViewRay, Inc. (formerly Mirax Corp .), a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Vesuvius Acquisition Corp. , a Delaware corporation (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), and ViewRay Technologies, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company are each a “Party” and referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS , this Agreement contemplates a merger of the Acquisition Subsidiary with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving entity after the merger (the “Merger”), whereby the stockholders of the Company will receive Parent Common Stock (as defined below) in exchange for their capital stock of the Company; and

WHEREAS , simultaneously with the closing of the Merger, the Parent will complete a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Offering”) of a minimum of 8,000,000 shares (the “Minimum Amount”) of the Parent’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $5.00 per share upon the terms and subject to the conditions of a stock purchase agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”); and

WHEREAS , immediately before the closing of the Merger, the Parent shall split-off its existing business and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mirax Enterprise Corp. , a Nevada corporation (the “Split-Off Subsidiary”), through the assignment of all of the Parent’s assets and liabilities (other than those under this Agreement and the other related agreements and transactions contemplated hereby) to, and the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of, the Split-Off Subsidiary (the “Split-Off”) upon the terms and conditions of a split-off agreement by and among the Parent, the Split-Off Subsidiary and Dinara Akzhigitova (the “Split-Off Purchaser”), in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Split-Off Agreement”); and

WHEREAS , simultaneously with the closing of the Merger, the Parent, Split-Off Subsidiary and Split-Off Purchaser shall enter into a general release agreement in the form of  Exhibit C  attached hereto (the “General Release Agreement”); and

WHEREAS , the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company desire that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations and not subject the holders of equity securities of the Company to tax liability under the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The “Effective Time” shall be the time at which a certificate of merger in proper form and


duly executed, reflecting the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) pursuant to Section 251(c) of General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Act”) is filed by the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The date of the Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” As used in this Agreement, the term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banks in the state of New York are required or authorized by applicable Law to close.

2


Company (“Company Preferred Stock” and, together with the Company Common Stock, the “Company Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Stock owned beneficially by the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary and other than Dissenting Shares (as defined below)), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) 2.975 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Section shall be referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”

(b) The Parent shall deliver certificates for the Merger Shares to each stockholder of record of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Stockholder”) entitled thereto who shall have presented a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Stock to be converted into Merger Shares pursuant to this Section 1.5 (the “Company Stock Certificates”) to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or the Parent’s transfer agent. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the issuance of any certificates representing Merger Shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(c) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Dissenting Shares .

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” means shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock held as of the Effective Time by a Company Stockholder who has not voted such Company Stock in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Act and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the Effective Time. Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock unless such Company Stockholder’s right to appraisal shall have ceased in accordance with the Delaware Act. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then (i) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Shares issuable in respect of such Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 1.5(a), and (ii) promptly following the occurrence of such event and, if requested by Parent, the proper surrender of such person’s Company Stock Certificate, the Parent shall deliver to such Company Stockholder a certificate representing the Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.5(a).

(b) The Company shall give the Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands unless required by a court of the State of Delaware having jurisdiction thereof.

1.7 Fractional Shares . No certificates or scrip representing fractional Merger Shares shall be issued to Company Stockholders on the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Stock, and such Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of the Parent with respect to any fractional Merger Shares

 

3


that would have otherwise been issued to such Company Stockholders (after aggregating all fractional shares of Merger Shares issuable to such holder). On proper surrender of each former Company Stockholder’s Company Stock Certificate(s), such person will receive such whole number of Merger Shares as is equal to the precise number of Merger Shares to which such Company Stockholder would be entitled, rounded down to the nearest whole number. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Purchase Price.

1.8 Options and Warrants .

(a) As of the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Options (as defined below) that remain unexercised, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into options to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Options”) without further action by the holder thereof. Each Parent Option as so assumed and converted shall constitute an option to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each Parent Option as so assumed and converted shall be equal to the exercise price of the Company Option prior to the assumption divided by the Conversion Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole cent). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.8(a), each Parent Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Equity Plan and in any award agreement or in such Company Option by reason of this Agreement) and the vesting schedule shall be the same as that of the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt such resolutions as are necessary to effect the treatment of the Company Options as contemplated by this Section 1.8. At the Effective Time, the Parent shall assume all obligations of the Company under the applicable Company Equity Plan, each outstanding Company Option, and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof and shall administer and honor all such awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of such awards and the applicable Company Equity Plan (subject to the adjustments required by reason of this Agreement or such other adjustments or amendments made by Parent in accordance with such terms and conditions).

(c) As of the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Warrants (as defined below) that remain unexercised shall terminate as of the Effective Date, and the Parent shall issue new warrants (the “Parent Warrants”) in substitution for the Company Warrants, on the same terms and conditions of the Company Warrants, but representing the right to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as the case may be, subject to the unexercised portion of the Company Warrant multiplied by the Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, and with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number (unless such Company Warrant provides for different treatment of fractions of a share in such circumstance, in which case the terms of such Company Warrant pertaining to the treatment of a fraction of a cent shall control)). The exercise price per share of each Parent Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price of the Company Warrant prior to substitution divided by the Conversion Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole cent, and with $0.005 rounded upward to the nearest whole cent (unless such Company Warrant provides for different treatment of fractions of a cent in such circumstance, in which case the terms of such Company Warrant pertaining to the treatment of a fraction of a cent shall control)).

(d) The Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of (i) the assumed and converted Parent Options and (ii) the Parent Warrants to be issued for the Company Warrants, in accordance with this Section 1.8.

1.9 Directors and Officers . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of any of the foregoing, the directors and officers of the Company shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation of removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified, as the case may be, and the Surviving Corporation and the Parent shall take any necessary actions (whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time) as shall be necessary or appropriate to effectuate or carry out fully the purpose of this Section 1.9.

1.10 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of any of the foregoing:

(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Acquisition Subsidiary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed;

(b) the bylaws of the Acquisition Subsidiary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed; and

(c) the certificate of incorporation of the Parent in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Parent until duly amended or repealed.

1.11 No Further Rights . From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, certificated or uncertificated, shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by applicable Law, other than the right to receive Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

1.12 Closing of Transfer Books . At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Merger Shares in accordance with Section 1.5, subject to the provisions hereof and applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

1.13 Exemption from Registration; Rule 144 .

(a) The Parent and the Company intend that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof or upon exercise of Parent Options and Parent Warrants granted pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, and any shares of Parent Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Section 1.14 hereof, will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC. No more than 35 of the recipients of such shares of Parent Common Stock shall not be “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof or upon exercise of Parent Options and Parent Warrants granted pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, and any shares of Parent Common Stock that may

 

5


be issued pursuant to Section 1.14 hereof, will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) an exemption from such registration exists and either the Parent receives an opinion of counsel to the holder of such securities, which counsel and opinion are satisfactory to the Parent, that such securities may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, or the holder complies with the requirements of Regulation S, if applicable; and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock will bear an appropriate legend and restriction on the books of the Parent’s transfer agent to that effect.

(b) The Parent is a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company acknowledges that pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a former shell company (such as the Merger Shares) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Parent (i) is no longer a shell company; and (ii) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Parent is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Merger Shares cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

1.14 Adjustment to Parent Stockholders . In the event that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock sold in the Private Placement Offering after the final closing thereof is more than 8,000,000, the Parent shall, promptly after the final closing of the Private Placement Offering, issue to the holders of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Split-Off) (the “Parent Holders”) (who, in the aggregate, will hold 1,000,005 shares of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, not including any shares of Parent Common Stock any of them may purchase in the Private Placement Offering), pro rata in proportion to their respective holdings of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including any shares of Parent Common Stock any of them may purchase in the Private Placement Offering), without any additional consideration, 10,000 shares of Parent Common Stock for every integral multiple of 100,000 shares of Parent Common Stock in excess of 8,000,000 shares sold in the Private Placement Offering, up to a maximum aggregate total of 400,000 additional shares of Parent Common Stock to the Parent Holders. For avoidance of doubt, the Parent Holders will not be entitled to receive any additional shares of Parent Common Stock with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock sold in the Private Placement Offering to the extent they exceed 12,000,000 or do not exceed 8,099,999.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

VIEWRAY, INC.

ViewRay, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ Delaware General Corporation Law ”), hereby certifies as follows:

ONE: The name of this corporation is ViewRay, Inc., and the original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 21, 2015.

TWO: This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates and further amends the provisions of this corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242, 245 and 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and prompt written notice will be duly given pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

THREE: The certificate of incorporation of this corporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE I

The name of the corporation is ViewRay, Inc. (the “ Corporation ”).

ARTICLE II

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE III

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

ARTICLE IV

A. This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares that the Corporation is authorized to issue is Three Hundred Ten Million (310,000,000), divided into Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) shares of Common Stock and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock. The Common Stock shall have a par value of $0.01 per share and the Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.01 per share.


B. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “ Board of Directors ”) is hereby authorized, by filing a certificate (a “ Certificate of Designation ”) pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, to fix or alter from time to time the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and to establish from time to time the number of shares constituting any such series or any of them; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

ARTICLE V

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:

A. (1) The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in the Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors.

(2) The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Qualifying Record Date ”), the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Qualifying Record Date, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Qualifying Record Date, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V(A), each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(3) The Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors (the “ Voting Stock ”).

 

2


(4) Any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

B. (1) Subject to Article X of the Bylaws, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bylaws of the Corporation may be rescinded, altered, amended or repealed in any respect by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock.

(2) The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

ARTICLE VI

A. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock or series thereof having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and the taking of any action by written consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders is specifically denied.

B. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by the Secretary of the Corporation at the direction of the Board of Directors, pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

C. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

A. To the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of

 

3


directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended.

B. The Corporation may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

C. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VIII

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants.

ARTICLE IX

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the Voting Stock required by law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any Certificate of Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V, VI, VII, VIII and IX.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

BYLAWS OF

VIEWRAY INCORPORATED

 

 

 

ARTICLE I - CORPORATE OFFICES

1.1 REGISTERED OFFICE.

The registered office of ViewRay, Inc. (the “ Corporation ”) shall be fixed in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “ certificate of incorporation ”).

1.2 OTHER OFFICES.

The Corporation’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the Corporation is qualified to do business.

ARTICLE II - MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL ”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.

2.2 ANNUAL MEETING.

The Board shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and other proper business properly brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 2.4 may be transacted.

2.3 SPECIAL MEETING.

A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Secretary of the Corporation at the direction of the Board, pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

No business may be transacted at such special meeting other than the business specified in such notice to stockholders. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board may be held.


2.4 ADVANCE NOTICE PROCEDURES FOR BUSINESS BROUGHT BEFORE A MEETING.

(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or the chairperson of the Board, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A)(1) was a beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable respects, or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “ Exchange Act ”). The foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting pursuant to Section 2.3 of these bylaws, and stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or, if the proposing stockholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be, if such proposing stockholder is (x) a general or limited partnership, any general partner or person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership or who controls the general or limited partnership, (y) a corporation or a limited liability company, any officer or person who functions as an officer of the corporation or limited liability company or any officer, director, general partner or person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation or limited liability company or (z) a trust, any trustee of such trust. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5 of these bylaws, and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.5 of these bylaws.

(ii) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (a) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation and (b) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided , however , that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90 th ) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10 th ) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made (such notice within such time periods, “ Timely Notice ”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books

 

2


and records); and (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to as “ Stockholder Information ”);

(b) As to each Proposing Person, (A) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“ Synthetic Equity Position ”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided , further , that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C)(x) if such Proposing Person is (i) a general or limited partnership, syndicate or other group, the identity of each general partner and each person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership, each member of the syndicate or group and each person controlling the general partner or member, (ii) a corporation or a limited liability company, the identity of each officer and each person who functions as an officer of the corporation or limited liability company, each person controlling the corporation or limited liability company and each officer, director, general partner and person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation or limited liability company or (iii) a trust, any trustee of such trust (each such person or persons set forth in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “ Responsible Person ”), any fiduciary duties owed by such Responsible Person to the equity holders or other beneficiaries of such Proposing Person and any material interests or relationships of such Responsible Person that are not shared generally by other record or beneficial holders of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation and that reasonably could have influenced the decision of such Proposing Person to propose such business to be brought before the meeting, and (y) if such Proposing Person is a natural person, any material interests or relationships of such natural person that are not shared generally by other record or beneficial holders of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation and that reasonably could have influenced the decision of such Proposing Person to propose such business to be brought before the meeting, (D) any material shares or any Synthetic Equity Position in any principal competitor of the Corporation in any principal industry of the Corporation held by such Proposing Persons, (E) a summary of any material discussions regarding the business proposed to be brought before the meeting (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other record or beneficial holder of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation (including their names), (F) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (G) any other material relationship between such

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

(i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and

(ii) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

8.2 DEFINITION OF ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than the Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period, subject to Section 7(d) hereof.

5


pursuant to Rule 144(c) (or any successor thereto) whether or not the Company is then required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, (any such failure or breach in clauses (i) through (iv) above being referred to as an “Event,” and, for purposes of clauses (i), (ii) or (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii), the date on which such thirty (30) or fifty (60) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as an “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the earlier of (1) the applicable Event is cured or (2) the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without manner of sale or volume restrictions or the current public information requirement, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (“ Liquidated Damages ”), in an amount equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum of the aggregate Purchase Price amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.

The Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. The Company shall not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement. In such case, the Liquidated Damages shall be calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are permitted to be included in such Registration Statement. The Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without default or Liquidated Damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of a Purchaser to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (in which the Effectiveness Deadline would be extended with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser).

In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

11


An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 6(c). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d) Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable

 

12


fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

7. Miscellaneous .

(a) Remedies . In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c) Subsequent Registration Rights . Until the Initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person without the written consent of Holders representing no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

(d) Discontinued Disposition . Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the

 

13


copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

(e) Furnishing of Information . Each Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(f) Piggy-Back Registrations . If at any time during the Effectiveness Period, except as contemplated by Section 2(b) hereof, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder (other than the holders of the Merger Shares) a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities (other than the Merger Shares) such Holder requests to be registered; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7(f) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without volume limitation or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 7(f) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(g) No Piggyback on Registrations . Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not prior to any Effectiveness Date enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders. Nothing in this Section 7(g) shall limit the Company’s ability to include securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities in a registration statement that is not a Registration Statement and file any such registration statement with the Commission, except as is expressly prohibited by this Agreement.

(h) Amendments and Waivers . No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder or Holders (as applicable) of no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. The Company shall provide prior notice to all Holders of any proposed waiver or amendment. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent

 

14


default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(i) Termination of Registration Rights . For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed and understood that (i) in the event that there are no Registrable Securities outstanding, then the Company shall have no obligation thereafter to file, caused to be declared effective or to keep effective any Registration Statement hereunder (including any Registration Statement previously filed pursuant to this Agreement) and (ii) all registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder (including the rights set forth in Sections 7(c) and 7(f)), shall terminate in their entirety effective on the first date on which there shall cease to be any Registrable Securities outstanding. If not previously terminated pursuant to the foregoing sentence, it is expressly agreed and understood that all registration rights granted to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate as to the Holder on the earlier of (a) such time following the date that is six (6) years following the date of this Agreement that the Holders own in the aggregate less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of Registrable Securities that the Holders owned in the aggregate as of the date hereof (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends, recapitalizations and the like) and (b) the date that is ten (10) years following the date of this Agreement.

All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by confirmed facsimile or electronic mail, or mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so sent in the case of facsimile or electronic mail transmission, or when so received in the case of mail or courier, and addressed as follows:

ANNEX A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

 

    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

    through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;

 

    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

    privately negotiated transactions;

 

    through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

    broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

    a combination of any such methods of disposition; and

 

    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.


The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act and the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).


We have advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) the date that is two years from the date it is declared effective by the Commission and (b) the date on which all securities under such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

Re: ViewRay, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to ViewRay, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (as defined below) of up to 37,929,912 shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and 198,760 shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”) issuable upon exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders (the “ Warrants ”). The Shares and Warrant Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on October 9, 2015 (Registration No. 333-207347) (as amended, the “ Registration Statement ”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”), other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares and Warrant Shares.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, (a) the issue and sale of the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (b) when the Warrant Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers, the issue and sale of the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Latham & Watkins LLP

This Agreement and all such documents constitute valid and binding agreements of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with their terms.


4.2 Compliance . Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer will result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, or violate any agreement, indenture, instrument, order, law or regulation to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.

4.3 Purchase for Investment . Buyer is financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring the Shares and the other transaction contemplated hereby and has no need for liquidity in her investment in the Shares. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment), so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for her own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyer has (i) received all the information he has deemed necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) had an opportunity to make such investigation as she has desired pertaining to Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment) and the acquisition of an interest therein and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to her; and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyer acknowledges that Buyer is a current director and officer of Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary and, as such, has actual knowledge of the business, operations and financial affairs of Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment).

Buyer understands that any resale of the Shares by her must be registered under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for Split-Off Subsidiary at the time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT,


THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.

Buyer understands that the Shares are being sold to her pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming the Section 4(1) exemption.

Following the Closing, Seller will have no liability for any debts, liabilities or obligations of Split-Off Subsidiary or its business or activities, or the business or activities of Seller prior to the Closing, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to Split-Off Subsidiary or its business, or the business of Seller prior to the Closing, and that may survive the Closing.

At Closing, Buyer will have good and marketable title to the Purchase Price Securities, which Purchase Price Securities are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities laws.

If any claim or liability (a “ Third-Party Claim ”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “ Indemnitees ”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1, then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyer (the “ Indemnitor ”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “ Claim Notice ”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, in connection therewith, to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and any decision to settle such Third-Party Claim, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (b) below, both


the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Failure to Defend . If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided however, that the Indemnitor shall (i) promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) shall pay, in advance of any settlement or proceedings and in installments as reasonably agreed to by the parties, such sums and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim and any settlement thereof. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.

12.3 Non-Third-Party Claims . Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

Exhibit 10.4

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Securities Purchase Agreement (“ Agreement ”) is made as of July 23, 2015 (the “ Effective Date ”), by and among ViewRay, Inc. (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and each of those persons and entities, severally and not jointly, listed as a Purchaser on the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Annex A hereto (the “ Schedule of Purchasers ”). Such persons and entities are hereinafter collectively referred to herein as “ Purchasers ” and each individually as a “ Purchaser .”

RECITALS

A. This Agreement is being executed by the Company and each Purchaser in connection with the private placement offering (the “ Offering ”) in one or more closings of a minimum of $40,000,000 (the “ Minimum Offering ”) and a maximum of $50,000,000 (the “ Maximum Offering ”) of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), at a price per share of $5.00 (the “ Purchase Price ”). With the consent of ViewRay Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ ViewRay ”), the Company may sell up to an additional $10,000,000 of shares of Common Stock at the Purchase Price (the “ Over-Allotment Option ”). The minimum subscription is $25,000 (5,000 shares) per Purchaser. The Company may accept subscriptions for less than $25,000 in its sole discretion.

B. The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D (“ Regulation D ”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act.

C. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, wishes to purchase, and the Company wishes to sell, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, determined as set forth in Section 3 below (which aggregate amount for all Purchasers together shall be collectively referred to herein as the “ Shares ”).

D. The Company has engaged Northland Securities, Inc., Trout Capital LLC, Katalyst Securities LLC and MLV & Co. LLC as its co-exclusive placement agents (the “ Placement Agents ”) for the Offering of the Shares on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, pursuant to which the Placement Agents will be paid a total cash commission of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the Purchasers in the Offering and the Over-Allotment Option and will receive warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal to 8% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering and the Over-Allotment Option, with a term of five years and an exercise price of $5.00 per share, each such warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B (the “ Placement Agent Warrants ”); provided, however, that no commission shall be payable and no Placement Agent Warrants shall be issued in connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock in the Offering to any Purchasers that are holders of ViewRay capital stock immediately prior to the date hereof.

E. The transactions described in this Agreement are in connection with a reverse triangular merger (the “ Merger ”) between a subsidiary of the Company and ViewRay, and


certain other transactions, pursuant to which ViewRay will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ Surviving Entity ”) and all outstanding capital stock of ViewRay will be cancelled in exchange for shares of Common Stock of the Company.

F. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereto are executing and delivering a Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will agree to provide certain registration rights with respect to the Shares, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants (the “ Underlying Shares ”) and the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF SALE OF SECURITIES.

The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of the Shares and the Placement Agent Warrants, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Shares and the Placement Agent Warrants are referred to collectively as the “ Securities .”

SECTION 2. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE THE SHARES.

2.1 Sale of Securities. At each Closing (as defined in Section 3), the Company will sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, the number of Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers with respect to such Closing. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares purchased by each Purchaser is set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers.

2.2 Separate Agreement. Each Purchaser shall severally, and not jointly, be liable for only the purchase of the Shares that appear on the Schedule of Purchasers that relate to such Purchaser. The Company’s agreement with each of the Purchasers is a separate agreement, and the sale of Securities to each of the Purchasers is a separate sale. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are expressly not conditioned on the purchase by any or all of the other Purchasers of the Shares such other Purchasers have agreed to purchase.

SECTION 3. CLOSING AND DELIVERY.

3.1 Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (which Shares are set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers) pursuant to this Agreement (the “ Closing ”), the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser listed on Annex A hereto (including each Purchaser who shall be added to Annex A as a Purchaser pursuant to a subsequent Closing hereunder), and each Purchaser listed on Annex A hereto shall, severally and not jointly, purchase from the Company, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient resulting from dividing (i) the aggregate purchase amount

 

2


for such Purchaser by (ii) the Purchase Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The date of a Closing shall be referred to herein as a “ Closing Date .”

3.2 Closing. The initial Closing will not occur unless: (i) funds deposited in escrow as described in Section 3.3 below equal at least the Minimum Offering, and corresponding documentation with respect to such amounts has been delivered by the Purchasers; (ii) the Merger shall have been effected (or is simultaneously effected); and (iii) the other conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 have been satisfied or duly waived. Thereafter, the Company may conduct one or more additional Closings for the sale of the Shares until the termination of the Offering. Unless terminated earlier by the Company, the Offering shall continue until the date that is thirty (30) days following the initial Closing Date. Each Closing shall be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 140 Scott Drive, Menlo Park, California 94025, or on such other date and place as may be agreed to by the Company and the Purchasers participating in such Closing. At or prior to each Closing, each Purchaser participating in such Closing shall execute any related agreements or other documents required to be executed hereunder, dated as of the applicable Closing Date.

3.3 Form of Payment; Delivery of Shares. On or before each Closing Date, (i) each Purchaser listed on Annex A hereto shall wire transfer immediately available funds for the amount indicated next to such Purchaser’s name on Annex A or deliver a certified check therefor or other lawful consideration acceptable to the Company, in U.S. Dollars, in such amount to Delaware Trust Company, in its capacity as escrow agent (the “ Escrow Agent ”) pursuant to an escrow agreement entered into, as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Escrow Agent (the “ Escrow Agreement ”), and (ii) the Company shall irrevocably instruct the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to each Purchaser listed on Annex A hereto one or more stock certificates, free and clear of all restrictive and other legends except as expressly provided in Section 5.4 hereof, evidencing the number of Shares such Purchaser is purchasing, calculated in accordance with Section 3.1 above, within three (3) business days after such Closing. The name(s) in which the Shares are to be issued to each Purchaser are set forth in the Purchaser Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Annex D (the “ Purchaser Questionnaire ”), as completed by each Purchaser, which shall be provided to the Company no later than the applicable Closing Date.

3.4 Delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement. At the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser shall execute and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions delivered to the Purchasers concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “ Schedule of Exceptions ”) or as otherwise described in the Super 8-K (as defined below) or Term Sheet (as defined below), which disclosures (other than disclosures under “risk factors” or similar disclosures) qualify these representations and warranties in their entirety, the Company hereby represents and warrants to, as of the date hereof and giving effect to the Merger (unless otherwise specified), and covenants with, the Purchasers as follows:

 

3


4.1 Organization and Standing. The Company and each of its subsidiaries (i) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted, and (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification, except in the case of clause (ii) above, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in (a) a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (b) a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (c) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (any of (a), (b) or (c), a “ Material Adverse Effect ”).

4.2 Corporate Power; Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority, and has taken all requisite corporate action, to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Placement Agent Warrants, the Escrow Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below and, collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”), sell and issue the Securities and carry out and perform all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Each Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally, including any specific performance and (iii) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited by state or federal laws or public policy underlying such laws. There are no shareholder agreements, voting agreements or other similar arrangements with respect to the Company’s capital stock (i) to which the Company is a party or (ii) between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

4.3 Issuance and Delivery of the Securities. The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Underlying Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants in accordance with their terms, including payment of the exercise price therefore, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by each Purchaser in Section 5, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

4.4 SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has filed in a timely manner all documents that the Company was required to file with the Commission under Sections 13, 14(a) and 15(d) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), since becoming subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act. As of their respective filing dates (or, if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, when amended), all documents filed by the Company with the Commission (the “ SEC Documents ”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Documents as of their respective dates contained any untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they

 

4


were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents and the Super 8-K (the “ Financial Statements ”) present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated, comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of the Exchange Act and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise noted therein). KLJ & Associates, LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company, delivered their report with respect to the audited consolidated financial statements and schedules included in the SEC Documents, are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder.

4.5 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock (the “ Preferred Stock ”). As of the Effective Date, there are no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and there are 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which no shares are owned by the Company. There are no other shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company issued or outstanding.

There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness having general voting rights (or convertible into securities having such rights) (“ Voting Debt ”) of the Company issued and outstanding. Except as stated above, there are no existing options, warrants, calls, subscriptions or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of the Company, obligating the Company to issue, transfer, sell, redeem, purchase, repurchase or otherwise acquire or cause to be issued, transferred, sold, redeemed, purchased, repurchased or otherwise acquired any capital stock or Voting Debt of, or other equity interest in, the Company or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests or obligations of the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, subscription or other right, agreement, arrangement or commitment. Except as provided herein, the issuance of Common Stock or other securities pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the Placement Agent Warrants will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal on behalf of any person or result in the triggering of any anti-dilution rights. Except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of their securities under the Securities Act.

4.6 Litigation. No action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or the Surviving Entity, or its and their property is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened that will have a Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

(a) Such Purchaser (if an entity) is a validly existing corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to invest in the Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has made available the SEC Documents and the Disclosure Materials. Based on the information such Purchaser has deemed appropriate, and

without reliance upon any Placement Agent, it has independently made its own legal and financial analysis and decision to enter into the Transaction Documents. Except for the representations and warranties in Section 4, as qualified in accordance with the introductory paragraph of Section 4, such Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, the Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

(c) The Shares to be received by such Purchaser hereunder will be acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the securities purchased hereunder except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(e) Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such securities. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is relying on the representations and warranties made by Purchaser hereunder and that such representations and warranties are a material inducement to the Company to sell the Shares to Purchaser. Purchaser

 

13


further acknowledges that without such representations and warranties of Purchaser made hereunder, the Company would not enter into this Agreement with Purchaser.

(f) Purchaser understands that no public market now exists, and there may never be a public market for, the Securities, that only a limited public market for the Company’s Common Stock exists and that there can be no assurance that an active public market for the Common Stock will exist or continue to exist.

(g) The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party have been duly authorized and each has been duly executed and when delivered will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(h) Purchaser is not a broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act (a “ registered broker-dealer ”) and is not affiliated with a registered broker dealer. Purchaser is not party to any agreement for distribution of any of the Shares.

(i) Purchaser shall have completed or caused to be completed and delivered to the Company at no later than the applicable Closing Date, the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Annex E (the “ Selling Stockholder Questionnaire ”) for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the answers to the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and correct as of the applicable Closing Date and the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that the Purchasers shall be entitled to update such information by providing notice thereof to the Company before the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(j) Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the purchase of the Shares.

(k) Such Purchaser has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(l) Such Purchaser has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act.

(m) Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

(n) Such Purchaser’s residence (if an individual) or offices in which its investment decision with respect to the Shares was made (if an entity) are located at the address immediately below such Purchaser’s name on its signature page hereto.

 

14


(o) Such Purchaser (including any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Purchaser, as the term “control” is defined pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and its implementing regulations (the “ HSR Act ”)) in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be required to and will not complete a filing with the U.S. government pursuant to the HSR Act.

5.2 Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock) (“ Short Sales ”), of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company, the Placement Agents or any other person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and ending immediately prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. Other than to other persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

5.3 Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.

5.4 Legends.

(a) Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”) without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the stock certificates evidencing the Shares may bear one or more of the following legends:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH

 

15


OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

In addition, book entry notations representing the Securities or the Underlying Shares may contain:

(i) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California, including any legend required by the California Department of Corporations.

(ii) Any legend required by the blue sky laws of any other state to the extent such laws are applicable to the sale of such Securities or Underlying Shares hereunder.

(iii) A legend regarding affiliate status of the Purchasers set forth in Annex F hereto, in the form included therein.

(b) The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than three business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable and if such Shares are certificated, issued with a restrictive legend, together with such representations and covenants of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s executing broker as the Company may reasonably require in connection therewith, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a book entry position representing such shares that is free from any legend referring to the Securities Act. The Company shall not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”). All costs and expenses related to the removal of the legends and the reissuance of any Securities shall be borne by the Company.

(c) The restrictive legend set forth in this section above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate or book entry position without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery with the applicable balance account at DTC or in physical certificated shares, if appropriate, if (i) such Shares and Underlying Shares are registered for

 

16


resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if the Purchaser is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Securities for resale, the Purchaser agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and such Purchaser is not aware or has not been notified by the Company that such registration statement has been withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement); (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company); or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Subject to receipt of such representations, and covenants as are contemplated hereby, following the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Registration Statement or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of the Shares and Underlying Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to the Shares and Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall issue to the Company’s transfer agent the instructions with respect to legend removal consistent with this Section. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, the Company’s counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.

(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to a Purchaser Shares not bearing the legend set forth in Section 4.1 (b) or (c) within three business days following the receipt by the Company and the Transfer Agent of all documents necessary for the removal of the legend as set forth in Section 4.1(b) (the “ Deadline Date ”) (such certificate, the “ Unlegended Certificate ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Purchaser, if on or after the business day immediately following such three business day period, such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock to be represented by the Unlegended Certificate that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend as a result of such Purchaser’s full compliance with Section 4.1(b) (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three business days following such Purchaser’s request and in such Purchaser’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Shares (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (a) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (b) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Deadline Date as reported by the principal trading market. The Purchaser of shares of Common Stock shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.

5.5 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that offering and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the

 

17


Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

5.6 Additional Transfer Restrictions. Each Purchaser understands that prior to the Merger, the Company was a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and that upon the filing of the Super 8-K reporting the consummation of the Merger and the Offering and otherwise containing Form 10 information discussed below, the Company will cease to be a shell company. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (that is, the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Company (a) is no longer a shell company and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the Commission reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

5.7 Exculpation Among Purchasers. Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any other Purchaser, or any officer, director, employee, agent, partner, member or affiliate of any such other Purchaser, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Purchaser agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the respective controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

The provisions of Section 10.1-10.2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date on which the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement to register or maintain the effectiveness of any registration covering the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall terminate.

10.4 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at such Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

10.5 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act)

 

21


that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any trading market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

10.6 Short Sales and Confidentiality after the Date Hereof. Each Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of such time as (i) after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced or (ii) this Agreement is terminated in full. Each Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with securities included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 239.10 of the Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.

10.7 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall file the Super 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within four business days of the initial Closing Date. The Company may issue a press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any public filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or the OTC Markets, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of the Super 8-K and the final Transaction Documents with the Commission; (b) the filing of a Form D with the Commission under the Securities Act and (c) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or OTC Markets regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (c).

10.8 Anti-Dilution Adjustment. As to each Purchaser, during the one hundred eighty (180) days following the initial Closing Date, if the Company makes any issuance, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, any securities convertible into such equity securities, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) that is not an Excluded Security (as defined below), for a consideration per share that is less than the Purchase Price (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof) (such lesser price is referred to herein as the “ Discounted Purchase Price ”) (the foregoing, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then reasonably promptly after such Dilutive Issuance, the Company shall issue to such Purchaser solely with respect to the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, with payment by such

 

22


Purchaser of the par value per share as additional consideration, a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “ Additional Shares ”) equal to the result of subtracting (B) from (A), where (A) is the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser would have received for the amount listed next to such Purchaser’s name on Annex A with respect to such Closing if the Purchaser had paid in respect of its Held Shares the Discounted Purchase Price instead of the Purchase Price (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the applicable Closing Date), and (B) is the number of Held Shares initially issued to the Purchaser at the applicable Closing (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the applicable Closing Date), in each case where “ Held Shares ” shall refer to the number of Shares initially purchased by such Purchaser at a Closing hereunder and still held of record and beneficially by such Purchaser at the time of the Dilutive Issuance. Upon any issuance of Additional Shares hereunder, such Additional Shares shall be included as Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). “ Excluded Securities ” include: (a) shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion of any exercisable or convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof; (b) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase agreements, stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Company’s board of directors, including the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, 2015 Plan and ESPP; (c) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock issued in connection with acquisitions, asset purchases, licenses, joint ventures, technology license agreements, collaborations or strategic transactions involving the Company and other entities approved by the Company’s board of directors, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital; (d) securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with credit arrangements, equipment financings or lease arrangements,; and (e) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock that shall be deemed in writing to be Excluded Securities by holders of a majority of the then Held Shares; provided , however , that for clauses (c) and (d) herein, such securities shall not in the aggregate exceed 5% of the Common Stock then outstanding.

SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and each Person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) the

 

23


failure of such Indemnified Party to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6 above respecting sale of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares), or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Indemnified Party herein.

THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.

 

WARRANT NO. 2015-[                ]    NUMBER OF SHARES: [                ]
DATE OF ISSUANCE: July 23, 2015    (subject to adjustment hereunder)
EXPIRATION DATE: July 23, 2020   

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES

OF COMMON STOCK OF

VIEWRAY, INC.

This Warrant is issued to [                    ], or its registered assigns (including any successors or assigns, the “ Warrantholder ”), in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2015, by and among ViewRay, Inc. (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and each of those persons and entities listed as a Purchaser on Annex A thereto (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares; Expiration Date . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Warrantholder is entitled to purchase from the Company up to [                ] shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) (the “ Warrant Shares ”), at a purchase price of $5.00 per share (the “ Exercise Price ”), on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 23, 2020 (the “ Expiration Date ”) (subject to earlier termination of this Warrant as set forth herein).

(b) Method of Exercise . While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a) above, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 herein, by either:

(1) wire transfer to the Company or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank made payable to the order of the Company, or

(2) exercising of the right to credit the Exercise Price against the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares (as defined below) at the time of exercise (the “ Net Exercise ”) pursuant to Section 1(c).

 

-2-


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Warrantholder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Warrantholder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) trading days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.

(c) Net Exercise . If the Company shall receive written notice from the Warrantholder at the time of exercise of this Warrant that the holder elects to Net Exercise the Warrant, the Company shall deliver to such Warrantholder (without payment by the Warrantholder of any exercise price in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

LOGO

Where

 

X =   The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrantholder.
Y =   The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).
A =   The Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).
B =   The Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder to the date of such calculations).

The “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (x) the last reported sale price and, if there are no sales, the last reported bid price, of the Common Stock on the business day prior to the date of exercise on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of the Common Stock) (collectively, “ Bloomberg ”), (y) if the foregoing does not apply, the last sales price of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, and, if there are no sales, the last reported bid price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg or, (z) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on either of the foregoing bases, the price determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

-3-


“Trading Market” shall mean any of the following markets or exchanges: the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(d) Deemed Exercise . In the event that immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with Section 1(c) above) is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised on a net exercise issue basis pursuant to Section 1(c) above, and the Company shall deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares to the Warrantholder pursuant to the provisions of Section 1(c) above and this Section 1(d).

2. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

(a) Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price . The number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(1) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall at any time after the Date of Issuance but prior to the Expiration Date subdivide its shares of capital stock of the same class as the Warrant Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine such shares of capital stock, or issue additional shares of capital stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of such capital stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a)(1) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

(2) Reclassification, Reorganizations and Consolidation . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 2(a)(1) above) that occurs after the Date of Issuance, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Warrantholder, so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property (including, if applicable, cash) receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Warrant Shares by the Warrantholders immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Warrantholder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate

 

-4-


Exercise Price shall remain the same (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be exclusively exercisable for such shares of stock and/or other securities or property from and after the consummation of such reclassification or other change in the capital stock of the Company).

(3) Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Subsequent Equity Sales . During the one hundred eighty (180) days following the initial Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if the Company makes any issuance, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), any securities convertible into such equity securities, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) that is not an Excluded Security (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, excluding the securities referred to in clause (e) therein) (the “ Additional Securities ”), for a consideration per share that is less than the Exercise Price (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof) (such lesser price is referred to herein as the “ Discounted Exercise Price ”) (the foregoing, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then the then Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such Dilutive Issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) “CP2” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such issuance of Additional Securities;

(2) “CP1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities;

(3) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options immediately prior to such issuance and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company’s convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Warrants) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding convertible securities therefor) immediately prior to such issuance);

(4) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issuance by CP1); and

(5) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Securities issued in such transaction.

(b) Notice to Warrantholder . If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe

 

-5-


for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Change of Control or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder a notice of such transaction at least 15 business days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

(c) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(d) Treatment of Warrant upon a Change of Control .

(1) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates a Change of Control, then a holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Change of Control if it had been, immediately prior to such Change of Control, a holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The Company shall not effect any such Change of Control unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.

(2) As used in this Warrant, a “ Change of Control ” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation (other than a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company), (ii) the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposal of all or substantially all of the properties or assets or all or a majority of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company, (iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company, or (iv) a “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”)) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company.

3. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.

 

-6-


4. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until the exercise of this Warrant or any portion of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have, nor exercise, any rights as a stockholder of the Company (including without limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or other communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company) except as provided in Section 9 below.

5. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Company covenants that during the period this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, if applicable) to provide for the issuance of Warrant Shares (or other securities) upon the exercise of this Warrant.

6. MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.

(a) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) a completed and duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A by facsimile or e-mail attachment together with payment in full of the Exercise Price (unless the Warrantholder has elected to Net Exercise) then in effect with respect to the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on such date. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the holder by crediting the account of the holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the holder in the Notice of Exercise by the end of the day on the date that is three (3) trading days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (unless exercised by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1(c)). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by Net Exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the holder, if any, prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

(b) Warrantholder’s Exercise Limitations . A holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the

 

-7-


number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the holder that the Company is not representing to the holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(b) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercise of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(b), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a holder, the Company shall within two trading days confirm in writing to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(b) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

7. CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the

 

-8-


Company shall, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.

(a) The Warrantholder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Warrantholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(b) Prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall furnish to the Company such certificates, representations, agreements and other information, including an opinion of counsel, as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent reasonably may require to confirm that such sale or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless such Warrant Shares are being sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement.

(c) The Warrantholder acknowledges that the Company may place a restrictive legend on the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in order to comply with applicable securities laws, in substantially the following form and substance, unless such Warrant Shares are otherwise freely tradable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE

 

-9-


REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

9. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. NO IMPAIRMENT. Except to the extent as may be waived by the holder of this Warrant, the Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through a Change of Control, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.

11. TRADING DAYS. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be other than a day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market or, if a Trading Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock is so traded.

12. TRANSFERS; EXCHANGES. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 8 hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by the Warrantholder with respect to any or all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by the Warrantholder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. For a transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Warrantholder, and shall issue to the Warrantholder a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred.

(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Warrantholder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company together with a written notice specifying the denominations in which new warrants are to be issued to the Warrantholder and signed by the Warrantholder hereof. The term “Warrants” as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

The USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

What is money laundering?

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

How big is the problem and why is it important?

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.


ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING INFORMATION FORM

The following is required in accordance with the AML provision of the USA PATRIOT ACT.

PART III – PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

 

    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

    through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;

 

    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

    privately negotiated transactions;

 

    through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

    broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

    a combination of any such methods of disposition; and

 

    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

8


The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The maximum commission or

 

9


discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being sold.

We have advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (b) the date on which the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold by non-affiliates without any volume limitations or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

The undersigned has reviewed the Plan of Distribution set forth above and does not have a present intention of effecting a sale in a manner not described therein.

FOOTNOTES

 

1. Beneficial Ownership . You are the beneficial owner of a security, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), if you, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise have or share: (1) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security, and/or (2) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. You are also the beneficial owner of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement or device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership.

You are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within 60 days including , but not limited to, any right to acquire such security (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) through the conversion of a security, or (c) pursuant to the automatic termination of, or the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement.

Ordinarily, shares held in the name of your spouse or minor child should be considered as beneficially owned by you absent special circumstances to indicate that you do not have, as a practical matter, voting power or investment power over such shares. Similarly, absent countervailing facts, securities held in the name of relatives who share your home are to be reported as being beneficially owned by you. In addition, securities held for your benefit in the name of others, such as nominees, trustees and other fiduciaries, securities held by a partnership of which you are a partner, and securities held by a corporation controlled by you should be regarded as beneficially owned by you.

This definition of beneficial ownership is very broad; therefore, even though you may not actually have or share voting or investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family or living in your home, you should include such shares in your beneficial ownership disclosure and may then disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.

 

2. Associate . The term “associate”, as defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, means (a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries) of which you are an officer or partner or are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar capacity, and (c) your spouse, or any relative of yours or relative of your spouse living in your home or who is a director or officer of the Company or of any subsidiary. The term “relative of yours” as used in this Questionnaire refers to any relative or spouse of yours, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as you or who is a director or officer of any subsidiary of the Company.

Please identify your associate referred to in your answer and indicate your relationship.

 

12


3. Immediate Family . The members of your “immediate family” are deemed to include the following: your spouse; your parents; your children; your siblings; your mother-in-law or father-in-law; your sons- and daughters-in-law; and your brothers- and sisters-in-law.

 

4. Transactions . The term “transaction” is to be understood in its broadest sense, and includes the direct or indirect receipt of anything of value. Please note that indirect as well as direct material interests in transactions are to be disclosed. Transactions in which you would have a direct interest would include your purchasing or leasing anything (stock in a business acquired by the Company, office space, plants, Company apartments, computers, raw materials, finished goods, etc.) from or selling or leasing anything to, or borrowing or lending cash or other property from or to, the Company, or any subsidiary.

Exhibit 1

Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Section 239.10: “An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

This Agreement supersedes and replaces the letter dated as of June 9, 2015 by and among the Company, Northland, Trout and Katalyst (the “Initial Letter”).

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents will be entitled to provide services, in whole or in part, through any current or future affiliate or sub-agent selected by the Placement Agents approved in advance in writing by the Company (which approval shall be granted or denied promptly by the Company) and references to the Placement Agents shall, where the context so requires, include reference to any such affiliate or sub-agent; provided that no such affiliate or sub-agent shall be an affiliate of Montrose Capital Limited.

APPENDIX I

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agents, jointly and severally, their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons (each an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, litigation, investigation, proceeding, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated in the engagement agreement to which this Appendix I is attached (the “ Agreement ”), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact in any marketing materials or other offering related documents required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (“ Proceedings ”), regardless of whether any of such Indemnified Person is a party to the Agreement, and to reimburse such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses as they are incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending against any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Person; and provided, further, that the foregoing indemnification will not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising out of or based upon any written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agents specifically for inclusion in the Offering Documents. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company its affiliates, officers, directors employees, agents, creditors or stockholders, directly or indirectly, for or in connection with the Agreement, any transactions contemplated in the Agreement, or the Placement Agents’ role or services in connection with the Agreement, except to the extent that any liability for losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or have resulted from any written information furnished to the Company by the Placements Agents specifically for inclusion in the Offering Documents.

If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company and the Placement Agents, jointly and severally and in accordance with the contributions provisions herein, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, Northland on the other hand, Trout on the other hand, and Katalyst on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Company and each of Northland, Trout, and/or Katalyst, as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that, in no event, will the aggregate contribution of Northland, Trout, and/or Katalyst hereunder exceed the amount of fees actually received by Northland, Trout, or Katalyst, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Company under this indemnity agreement are in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have to an Indemnified Person and will bind and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and any Indemnified Person.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceedings, that Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under this indemnity agreement against the Company in respect of the Proceedings, notify the Company in writing of the commencement of the Proceedings; provided that (i) the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that the Company may have under this indemnity agreement except to the extent the Company has been materially prejudiced by such omission, and (ii) the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that the Company may have to an Indemnified

 

13


Person otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any Proceedings are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Company of the commencement of the Proceedings, the Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceedings and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person, to assume the defense of the Proceedings with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided that, if the defendants in any Proceedings include both the Indemnified Person and the Company and the Indemnified Person concludes that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, the Indemnified Person has the right to select separate counsel to assert those legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of the Proceedings on its behalf. Upon receipt of notice from the Company to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of the Proceedings and approval by the Indemnified Person of counsel, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of the Proceedings (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) the Indemnified Person has employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Company will not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) approved by the Company, representing the Indemnified Persons, on a collective basis, who are parties to the Proceedings, unless there are separate defenses available to different Indemnified Persons or a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Persons), (ii) the Company does not employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceedings, or (iii) the Company authorizes, in writing, the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Person.

The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent (which consent must not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the Company’s written consent or if a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Proceedings is delivered, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person requests the Company to reimburse the Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated by this indemnity agreement, the Company will be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent if (i) the proposed settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Company of the request for reimbursement, (ii) the Company has not reimbursed the Indemnified Person within 30 days of such request for reimbursement, (iii) the Indemnified Person delivered written notice to the Company of its intention to settle and the failure to pay within such 30 day period, and (iv) the Company does not, within 15 days of receipt of the notice of the intention to settle and failure to pay, reimburse the Indemnified Person for such legal or other expenses and object to the Indemnified Person’s seeking to settle such Proceedings. The Company may not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought under this indemnity agreement by such Indemnified Person unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings.

The Company’s reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations hereunder will be in addition to any liability that it may otherwise have, and will inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each Indemnified Person.

In the event the Company proposes to engage in any sale, distribution or liquidation of all or a significant part of its assets, or any merger or consolidation and the Company is not to be the surviving or resulting corporation or entity in such merger or consolidation, the Company will give prompt prior

 

14


notice thereof to Northland, Trout, Katalyst, and MLV and will make proper provision in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Northland, Trout, and to Katalyst so that the Company’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by the other party or parties to such transaction.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix I have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.

 

WARRANT NO. 2015-[        ]    NUMBER OF SHARES: [                ]
DATE OF ISSUANCE: July [    ], 2015    (subject to adjustment hereunder)
EXPIRATION DATE: July [    ], 2020   

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES

OF COMMON STOCK OF

VIEWRAY INCORPORATED

This Warrant is issued to [                    ], or its registered assigns (including any successors or assigns, the “ Warrantholder ”), in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2015, by and among ViewRay Incorporated (f/k/a Mirax Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and each of those persons and entities listed as a Purchaser on Annex A thereto (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares; Expiration Date . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Warrantholder is entitled to purchase from the Company up to [                ] shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) (the “ Warrant Shares ”), at a purchase price of $5.00 per share (the “ Exercise Price ”), on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July [    ], 2020 (the “ Expiration Date ”) (subject to earlier termination of this Warrant as set forth herein).

(b) Method of Exercise . While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a) above, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with Section 6 herein, by either:

(1) wire transfer to the Company or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank made payable to the order of the Company, or

(2) exercising of the right to credit the Exercise Price against the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares (as defined below) at the time of exercise (the “ Net Exercise ”) pursuant to Section 1(c).


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Warrantholder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Warrantholder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) trading days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.

(c) Net Exercise . If the Company shall receive written notice from the Warrantholder at the time of exercise of this Warrant that the holder elects to Net Exercise the Warrant, the Company shall deliver to such Warrantholder (without payment by the Warrantholder of any exercise price in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

  X=  

Y (A - B)

  
    A   

Where

 

X =    The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrantholder.
Y =    The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).
A =    The Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).
B =    The Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder to the date of such calculations).

The “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (x) the last reported sale price and, if there are no sales, the last reported bid price, of the Common Stock on the business day prior to the date of exercise on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of the Common Stock) (collectively, “ Bloomberg ”), (y) if the foregoing does not apply, the last sales price of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, and, if there are no sales, the last reported bid price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg or, (z) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on either of the foregoing bases, the price determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

2


“Trading Market” shall mean any of the following markets or exchanges: the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(d) Deemed Exercise . In the event that immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with Section 1(c) above) is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised on a net exercise issue basis pursuant to Section 1(c) above, and the Company shall deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares to the Warrantholder pursuant to the provisions of Section 1(c) above and this Section 1(d).

2. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

(a) Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price . The number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(1) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall at any time after the Date of Issuance but prior to the Expiration Date subdivide its shares of capital stock of the same class as the Warrant Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine such shares of capital stock, or issue additional shares of capital stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of such capital stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a)(1) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

(2) Reclassification, Reorganizations and Consolidation . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 2(a)(1) above) that occurs after the Date of Issuance, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Warrantholder, so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property (including, if applicable, cash) receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Warrant Shares by the Warrantholders immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Warrantholder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate

 

3


Exercise Price shall remain the same (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be exclusively exercisable for such shares of stock and/or other securities or property from and after the consummation of such reclassification or other change in the capital stock of the Company).

(3) Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Subsequent Equity Sales . During the one hundred eighty (180) days following the initial Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if the Company makes any issuance, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), any securities convertible into such equity securities, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) that is not an Excluded Security (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, excluding the securities referred to in clause (e) therein) (the “ Additional Securities ”), for a consideration per share that is less than the Exercise Price (adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof) (such lesser price is referred to herein as the “ Discounted Exercise Price ”) (the foregoing, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then the then Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such Dilutive Issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) “CP2” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such issuance of Additional Securities;

(2) “CP1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities;

(3) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options immediately prior to such issuance and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company’s convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Warrants) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding convertible securities therefor) immediately prior to such issuance);

(4) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issuance by CP1); and

(5) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Securities issued in such transaction.

(b) Notice to Warrantholder . If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe

 

4


for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Change of Control or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder a notice of such transaction at least 15 business days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

(c) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(d) Treatment of Warrant upon a Change of Control .

(1) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates a Change of Control, then a holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Change of Control if it had been, immediately prior to such Change of Control, a holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The Company shall not effect any such Change of Control unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.

(2) As used in this Warrant, a “ Change of Control ” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation (other than a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company), (ii) the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposal of all or substantially all of the properties or assets or all or a majority of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company, (iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company, or (iv) a “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”)) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company.

3. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.

 

5


4. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until the exercise of this Warrant or any portion of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have, nor exercise, any rights as a stockholder of the Company (including without limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or other communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company) except as provided in Section 9 below.

5. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Company covenants that during the period this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, if applicable) to provide for the issuance of Warrant Shares (or other securities) upon the exercise of this Warrant.

6. MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.

(a) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) a completed and duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A by facsimile or e-mail attachment together with payment in full of the Exercise Price (unless the Warrantholder has elected to Net Exercise) then in effect with respect to the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on such date. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the holder by crediting the account of the holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the holder in the Notice of Exercise by the end of the day on the date that is three (3) trading days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (unless exercised by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1(c)). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by Net Exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the holder, if any, prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

(b) Warrantholder’s Exercise Limitations . A holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the

 

6


number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the holder that the Company is not representing to the holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(b) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercise of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(b), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a holder, the Company shall within two trading days confirm in writing to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(b) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

7. CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the

 

7


Company shall, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.

(a) The Warrantholder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Warrantholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(b) Prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall furnish to the Company such certificates, representations, agreements and other information, including an opinion of counsel, as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent reasonably may require to confirm that such sale or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless such Warrant Shares are being sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement.

(c) The Warrantholder acknowledges that the Company may place a restrictive legend on the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in order to comply with applicable securities laws, in substantially the following form and substance, unless such Warrant Shares are otherwise freely tradable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

 

8


9. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. NO IMPAIRMENT. Except to the extent as may be waived by the holder of this Warrant, the Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through a Change of Control, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.

11. TRADING DAYS. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be other than a day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market or, if a Trading Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock is so traded.

12. TRANSFERS; EXCHANGES. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 8 hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by the Warrantholder with respect to any or all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by the Warrantholder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. For a transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Warrantholder, and shall issue to the Warrantholder a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred.

(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Warrantholder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company together with a written notice specifying the denominations in which new warrants are to be issued to the Warrantholder and signed by the Warrantholder hereof. The term “Warrants” as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged.

LEASE

THIS LEASE made as of the 17 day of April, 2008, by and between CLEVELAND INDUSTRIAL PORTFOLIO, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “ Landlord ”), and VIEWRAY INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (the “ Tenant ”).

WITNESSETH :

ARTICLE I

PREMISES

1.1 Premises . Landlord, in consideration of the rents to be paid and the covenants and agreements to be performed and observed by Tenant, does hereby lease unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby lease and take from Landlord, the building (the “ Building ”) known as Broad Oak Building III and located at 2 Thermo Fisher Way, Oakwood, Ohio, on the real property (the “ Land ”) more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof, to be leased in stages as set forth below. The Land and the Building are hereinafter sometimes jointly referred to as the “ Property ”. The portion of the Building being leased by Tenant hereunder from time to time (the “ Premises ”) shall vary in size as follows:

 

Lease Months

   Square Footage  

1 - 8

     20,000   

9 - 14

     30,000   

15 - 60

     41,000   

The initial 20,000 square foot and 30,000 square foot areas of the Building shall be as shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part hereof. The Premises are leased to Tenant together with all and singular easements, covenants, agreements, rights, privileges, tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances thereunto now or hereafter belonging or appertaining to the Property.

To the extent Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors are permitted by Landlord to enter upon the Property at any time prior to the Commencement Date, then Tenant shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except for the obligation to pay Rent (defined below), which obligation shall commence as of the Commencement Date.

ARTICLE II

TERM

2.1 Term . The term of this Lease (the “ Term ” or “ Lease Term ”) shall be for a period of five (5) Lease Years (as hereinafter defined), commencing on the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and ending on the last day of the Fifth (5th) Lease Year.

2.2 Commencement Date . The “ Commencement Date ” of this Lease shall be one (1) day after the Date of Delivery of Possession (as hereinafter defined).


2.3 Date of Delivery of Possession . Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the condition required by the succeeding sentence on or before the date that is 120 days after Landlord’s receives all building permits necessary to complete the Work (defined below) (the “ Target Commencement Date ”). The “ Date of Delivery of Possession ” shall be the day that Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant free and clear of all other tenants and occupants and with the Work substantially completed. The Work shall be deemed to be substantially complete on the date (the “Substantial Completion Date”) when (i) the Work has been completed in accordance with the Approved Specifications (as defined in Section 5.1) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to fully conduct its business in the Premises and subject to completion of any punch list items as described in Section 5.2 , and (ii) Landlord shall have obtained and delivered to Tenant a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises (in the case of a temporary certificate of occupancy, subject only to the punch list items described in Section 5.2 ). In no event shall Landlord be liable for any delay or failure to deliver the Premises, except that Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) day of free Fixed Rent for each day after the Target Commencement Date that Landlord fails to deliver the Premises to Tenant (other than as a result of force majeure or a Tenant Delay (as hereinafter defined)). In the event of any such delay, the “Commencement Date” shall be the date that Tenant is required to commence paying Fixed Rent hereunder, and the term of this Lease shall be extended accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Date of Delivery of Possession is actually delayed as a result of a Tenant Delay, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date it would have occurred but for such Tenant Delay. “Tenant Delay” shall mean any delay in the completion of the Work attributable to Tenant, including, without limitation (i) Tenant’s failure to meet any time deadlines specified herein, (ii) change orders requested by Tenant, (iii) the performance of any other work in the Premises by any person, firm or corporation employed by or on behalf of Tenant, or any failure to complete or delay in completion of such work, and/or (iv) any other act or omission of Tenant.

2.4 Lease Year . The first “ Lease Year ” shall be a period of twelve (12) calendar months from the Commencement Date, except that if the Commencement Date shall be other than the first day of a calendar month, the first Lease Year shall include the period from the Commencement Date to the end of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, plus the following twelve (12) calendar months. Each Lease Year after the first Lease Year shall be a successive period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.

ARTICLE III

RENT

3.1 Fixed Rent . Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, without demand, notice or set-off, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, fixed rent (the “ Fixed Rent ”) in fixed equal monthly installments on the first day of each and every calendar month during each Lease Year during the initial Term, in the amounts set forth below. Tenant shall elect, by delivering written notice to Landlord not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant shall have approved the Budget (defined below) (the “ Election Date ”), either “Option A” or “Option B” below. Prior to the Election Date and thereafter if Tenant fails to elect either “Option A” or “Option B”, the parties shall proceed under Option B.

 

2


3.1.1 Option A :

 

Lease Months

   Annual Rent      Monthly Rent  

1 - 8

   $ 95,000.00       $ 7,916.67   

9 - 14

   $ 142,500.00       $ 11,875.00   

15 - 24

   $ 194,750.00       $ 16,229.17   

25 - 60

   $ 205,000.00       $ 17,083.33   

3.1.2 Option B :

Under Option B, Fixed Rent will be calculated separately for the office space and warehouse space comprising the Premises, using a rate of $11.75 per square foot for office space and $5.75 per square foot for warehouse space. If Option B is selected by Tenant, then promptly after the amount of office and warehouse space is determined and the Date of Delivery of Possession has occurred, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease setting forth the actual Commencement Date and Fixed Rent for the initial Term.

3.2 Security Deposit . Tenant agrees to deposit, within ten (10) business days after this Lease is signed by Landlord and Tenant, the sum of Sixteen Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Nine and 17/100 Dollars ($16,229.17) (the “ Security Deposit ”), which sum Tenant agrees shall be for the purpose of securing the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and may be applied to any damages incurred by Landlord for any breach of any of the conditions or covenants of this Lease which continue beyond any applicable grace or cure period. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within five (5) business days, the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall be entitled to commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s other funds. Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of the Security Deposit from Landlord without interest after vacation of the Premises at the expiration of this Lease or any renewal thereof less any deductions authorized herein and without any prejudice to any future claims of Landlord for actual damages and/or rent in excess of the Security Deposit. Tenant shall have the option of providing the Security Deposit in the form of an irrevocable standby letter of credit, shall be (i) unconditional; (ii) irrevocable and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, issued by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (iii) for multiple terms of one (1) year each in duration, renewed at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof, the entire term extending until the date which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term, as the Term may be extended pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. If Landlord draws all or any portion of such letter of credit, then Tenant shall, upon demand but not more than five (5) business days after such drawing, cause the financial institution to reissue or supplement the Letter of Credit in the full amount of the Security Deposit.

In addition, not later than five (5) business days after Landlord and Tenant approve the Budget, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “ Letter of Credit ”), in an amount equal to the total amount of the approved Budget, which shall be security for the performance of the Work. The Letter of Credit shall be (i) unconditional; (ii) irrevocable and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, issued by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (iii) for multiple terms of one (1) year each in duration

 

3


renewed at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof, the entire term extending until the date which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term, as the Term may be extended pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.

If Tenant elects Option A, then the Letter of Credit shall be reduced and terminated as set forth in Section 5.5 below.

If Tenant elects or is deemed to have elected Option B, then Tenant shall keep in place the Letter of Credit in its original amount. Provided Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period, upon each renewal of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall be permitted to reduce the face amount of the Letter of Credit to an amount equal to the unamortized portion of the Construction Contribution (defined below) amortized on a straight line basis over five (5) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord shall be entitled to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit, without any notice, at any time on or after the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a default by Tenant under this Lease continuing beyond any applicable grace or cure period; or (ii) the sixtieth (60th) day preceding the expiration date of the Letter of Credit in the event Tenant is required to and fails to replace the Letter of Credit to the extent required by the terms of this Lease,

3.3 Additional Charges . During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay, as “ Additional Rent ” (together with Fixed Rent, “ Rent ”), all (i) Taxes (as defined in Section 4.2 hereof) and (ii) Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 6.5 hereof) for the Premises. Landlord shall estimate the Taxes and Operating Expenses for the next succeeding calendar year, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, together with the Fixed Rent, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated annual Taxes and Operating Expenses at the time each installment of Fixed Rent is due. At the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall adjust the estimated Taxes and Operating Expenses to reflect actual costs. At the time of such adjustment, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement which enumerates in reasonable detail the basis for the computation of Taxes and Operating Expenses for the period in question. If such statement reflects additional sums due and owing to Landlord, Tenant shall pay the same in full within ten (10) days of receipt of such statement or with the next installment of rent due, whichever is later. If such statement reflects an overpayment by Tenant, said overpayment may be used to reduce the next month’s payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses.

Landlord shall permit Tenant, at Tenant’s expense and during normal business hours, but only one time with respect to any calendar year, to review and audit Landlord’s invoices and statements and supporting information relating to the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the applicable calendar year for the purpose of verifying the Operating Expenses and Tenant’s share thereof; provided that notice of Tenant’s desire to so review is given to Landlord not later than within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant receives an annual statement from Landlord, and provided that such review is thereafter commenced within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant’s notice and completed within thirty (30) days after being commenced. If Tenant disputes the correctness of any such information, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing, specifying the respects in which the information is claimed to be incorrect. Tenant agrees that all information obtained from any such Operating Expenses review, including without limitation, the results of any Operating Expenses review shall be kept confidential by Tenant and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity other than Tenant’s professional consultants, who shall

 

4


likewise keep such information confidential. After conclusion of Tenant’s audit, (i) if the payments made by Tenant exceeded Tenant’s required payment, then unless Landlord disputes the results of such audit, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant such amount within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof from Tenant; but, if the required payments are greater than the payments (if any) made by Tenant, Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such determination; and (ii) if it is determined that the total payable by Tenant hereunder has been overstated by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and actual, out-of-pocket third-party costs of Tenant’s audit, as Tenant’s sole remedy for such overstatement. If Landlord shall dispute the results of Tenant’s audit and the parties shall fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, then either party may elect to have the dispute arbitrated by an independent firm of certified public accountants mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant. The decision of such firm shall be conclusive or binding on Landlord and Tenant.

3.4 Net Lease . This Lease shall be deemed and construed to be a “Net Lease,” and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, absolutely net throughout the term of this Lease, the Fixed Rent, and other payments hereunder, except as expressly provided herein, free of any charges, assessments, impositions or deductions of any kind and without abatement, deduction or set-off, and under no circumstances or conditions, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or whether beyond the present contemplation of the parties, shall Landlord be expected or required to make any payment of any kind whatsoever or be under any other obligation or liability hereunder except as herein otherwise expressly set forth.

3.5 Place of Payment . All payments of Fixed Rent, and other payments required to be made to Landlord, shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be paid to Landlord at its principal place of business stated on Page 1 of this Lease, or to such other person and/or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time in writing to Tenant.

3.6 Obligation to Pay Rent Absolute . Except as expressly provided in this Lease, no happening, event, occurrence or situation during the term of this Lease, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and however extraordinary, shall permit Tenant to quit or surrender the Premises or this Lease, or shall relieve Tenant from its liability to pay the full Fixed Rent and other charges under this Lease, or shall relieve Tenant from any of its other obligations under this Lease, and except as expressly provided herein, Tenant waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute, proclamation, decree or order, or otherwise, to quit or surrender the Premises or this Lease, or any part thereof, or to any abatement, diminution, reduction or suspension of rent on account of any such event, happening, occurrence or situation.

3.7 Late Payment . If Tenant shall fail to pay any Fixed Rent or other charges due under this Lease within five (5) days after the same are due, on the second and any subsequent late payment in any Lease Year. Tenant shall pay a service charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount due to reimburse Landlord for the administrative and related expenses and inconvenience of collecting and processing such late payments. In addition, after the expiration of the applicable grace period, all delinquent sums shall bear interest from the original due date therefor at an annual rate of interest (the “ Default Rate ”) equal to three percent (3%) in excess of the “prime rate” in effect on the date such amounts become due, as publicly announced in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal (the “ Prime Rate ”); provided, however, if the

 

5


Wall Street Journal ceases to be published, or ceases publishing the “Prime Rate” in such section or a comparable section, or if the “Prime Rate” is no longer customarily used as an interest rate index, then Landlord shall select a reasonably comparable index for determining the interest rate payable as permitted above. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay interest beyond the maximum rate permitted by law. Any payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated as a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment-in-full shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

3.8 Renewal Option . Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, and Tenant shall have, the right and option to extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years (the “ Renewal Term ”). The Renewal Term shall commence upon the day next following the last day of the initial Term. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its election to extend this Lease for the Renewal Term not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, time being of the essence with respect to such notification. Notice thereof shall be deemed sufficient if given in the manner hereinafter provided. If Landlord does not receive such written notice as and when required herein, the Renewal Term shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and this Lease shall expire as of the then-scheduled expiration date. The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that the Fixed Rent shall be increased by adding the CPI Adjustment Amount (defined below) to the then-current Fixed Rent. The “ CPI Adjustment Amount ” is calculated by multiplying the Fixed Rent payable for the last year of the initial Term by a ratio, the numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Cleveland-Akron, All Items (1982-1984=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (the “ Index ”) on the date nearest the commencement date of the Renewal Term, and the denominator of which is the Index as of the first day of the third Lease Year. If, during the Lease Term the Bureau of Labor Statistics ceases to maintain the Index, then such other index or standard as will most nearly accomplish the aim or purpose of the Index shall be used in determining the amount of any such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease if, either at the time Tenant notifies Landlord of its election to extend this Lease or upon the commencement date of the Renewal Term, Tenant is in default hereunder beyond any applicable grace or cure period.

ARTICLE IV

TAXES

4.1 Personal Property Taxes . Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay all taxes levied against personal property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in and upon the Premises.

4.2 Real Estate Taxes .

4.2.1 Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all Taxes levied or assessed against the Premises during the term hereof. Tenant shall pay all of such Taxes to Landlord as provided in Section 3.3 hereof.

 

6


4.2.2 For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Taxes ” shall include (i) all real estate taxes, general or special assessments, water and sewer rents and other governmental impositions imposed upon or against the Premises, of every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as ordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof, which shall or may during the term of this Lease be levied, assessed or imposed upon or against the Premises; (ii) any tax and/or assessment of any kind or nature upon or measured by or with respect to the rentals payable by Tenant hereunder, either by way of substitution for or in addition to all or any part of the real estate taxes and assessments levied or assessed against the Premises; and (iii) any costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in good faith in connection with the negotiation of a reduction in the assessed value of the Land and/or Building or any protest or contest of the Taxes described in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Taxes shall not include any franchise, income, estate, inheritance or profit tax, and capital levy or excise taxes.

4.2.3 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Taxes are payable in arrears. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that Taxes due and payable during the Term shall be deemed to relate to the Term even though they may in fact relate in whole or in part to a period of time pre-dating the Term, and therefore, Tenant shall pay all Taxes that are due and payable during the Term (even though such Taxes may in whole or in part relate to a period pre-dating the Term) and Tenant shall not be responsible for paying any Taxes due and payable after the Term, even though such Taxes may relate to a period of time falling within the Term.

4.2.4 Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to seek abatement of taxes and enter into such agreements with governmental authorities as Tenant deems necessary with respect to the payment of taxes, which agreement, if relating to taxes assessed against the Premises or the Property, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided such agreement does not impose any additional costs on Landlord.

ARTICLE V

CONDITION OF PREMISES

5.1 Delivery . Tenant acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided herein, Landlord and its agents and employees have made no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the Premises and/or the physical condition thereof, and none shall be implied at law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be deemed to have assumed, or be responsible or liable for, any condition existing on the Commencement Date which is or constitutes a violation of, or noncompliance with, any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property.

Landlord agrees, using the Construction Contribution and otherwise at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to complete the improvements or other work required for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises (the “ Work ”) in accordance with the following provisions. Accordingly, Landlord has agreed that Landlord shall supervise and manage the Work, subject to the terms of this Article V. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in the preparation of the drawings, plans and specifications with respect to the Work at the Premises for Landlord’s approval (the “ Specifications ”). Landlord shall cause the architect preparing the Specifications

 

7


(the “ Architect ”) to prepare and deliver the Specifications to Tenant not later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Lease, subject to Tenant Delays. Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter cooperate in good faith to finalize the Specifications, which shall be subject to the parties’ mutual approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Specifications as finally approved by Landlord are herein called the “Approved Specifications.” It is understood and agreed by Tenant that changes in Tenant’s Work, which may be necessary during construction of the Premises, shall not affect, invalidate or change this Lease or any of its terms and provisions, and that such changes shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the following items in connection with the Work upon its receipt thereof: (i) a permanent and unconditional certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and (ii) copies of final lien waivers, from the general contractor and all subcontractors and material suppliers providing work or materials for the Work. In addition, within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant “as built” plans and specifications for the Premises.

If Landlord fails to substantially complete the Work within sixty (60) days after the Target Commencement Date (except as a result of force majeure or any Tenant Delay), then upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may elect to complete the Work (unless Landlord substantially completes the Work within such thirty (30) day notice period). In the event that Tenant undertakes and completes the Work, Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement from Landlord for Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs (up to the amount of Landlord’s Construction Contribution (defined below), taking into account all amounts previously expended by Landlord) within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s written demand, together with copies of paid invoices or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such costs. If Landlord shall fail to pay any sum to Tenant as required herein, Tenant shall have the right to offset such sum against Fixed Rent, provided that (i) such offset shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of Tenant’s monthly installments of Fixed Rent until paid, and (ii) if Landlord shall in good faith dispute the exercise of such rights by Tenant and/or the amount of which Tenant claims reimbursement herein, no such offset shall be permitted until such dispute is resolved.

5.2 Landlord to Serve as Construction Manager . Landlord shall supervise and manage the Work, and in exchange Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction management fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the total cost of the Work (the “ Construction Management Fee ”) as set forth in the Budget (defined below). The Construction Management Fee shall be paid to Landlord or deducted from the Construction Contribution in monthly installments as set forth herein. Failure of Landlord to deliver possession of the Premises within the time and in the condition provided for in this Lease shall not give rise to any claim for damages by Tenant against Landlord or against Landlord’s contractors, except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant and Landlord shall conduct a walk-through of the Premises on or within ten (10) days prior to the Date of Delivery of Possession and shall prepare a punch list of any incomplete or defective items. If Tenant fails to schedule a walk-through on or prior to the Date of Delivery of Possession, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to require Landlord to perform any such punch list items. The Work, in accordance with the Approved Specifications, shall be deemed approved by Tenant at such time as Tenant accepts possession of the Premises, subject to completion of the punch list items identified by Tenant; provided however, notwithstanding

 

8


the foregoing, Landlord shall warranty and guarantee the Work for a period of one (1) year after the Date of Delivery of Possession with regard to (i) any defects in workmanship or materials, (ii) any non-compliance of the Work with applicable Legal Requirements in effect as of the Date of Delivery of Possession, or (iii) any claim that the Work was not completed substantially in accordance with the Approved Specifications (collectively, a “ Construction Defect ”). Provided Landlord shall have received written notice from Tenant of any Construction Defect on or before the date which is one (1) year after the Date of Delivery of Possession, Landlord, at its expense, shall cause such Construction Defect to be corrected. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remedy or cause the responsible contractor to remedy any Construction Defect within 60 days thereafter.

5.3 Budget . Promptly following Landlord’s approval of the Specifications, Landlord shall submit the Approved Specifications for all required governmental approvals and shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a construction budget for the Work (the “ Budget ”). Tenant shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove the Budget within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of same from Landlord. The Budget shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant unless Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord within such ten (10) business day period after Tenant’s receipt of the Budget. If Tenant shall disapprove of the Budget, it shall notify Landlord of those specific items not approved and recommend any changes necessary for Tenant to approve the Budget, in which case Landlord and Tenant shall work together to arrive at or accept the Budget.

5.4 Landlord’s Construction Contribution . Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s contribution toward the cost of the Work, including, without limitation, architectural fees, the Construction Management Fees and all hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the Work, shall not exceed the sum of $40.00 per square foot for office space and $5.00 per square foot for warehouse space (said maximum contribution of Landlord, being herein called the “ Construction Contribution ”). Solely for purposes of calculating the Construction Contribution, the percentage of office space shall not exceed 25% of the total square footage included in the Work. If the cost of the Work as reflected in the approved Budget exceeds the Construction Contribution, Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the Work.

5.5 Option A Reimbursement of Construction Contribution by Tenant . If Tenant elects Option A, then as of the date of such election, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the portion of the Construction Contribution incurred by Landlord to date, including, without limitation, architectural fees, Construction Management Fees, and all hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the Work (“ Current Costs ”); provided that Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of paid invoices or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tenant evidencing such costs. Upon payment of the Current Costs, Tenant shall be permitted to reduce the face amount of the Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the Current Costs. Then, upon payment to Landlord of the remaining Construction Contribution and any other amounts payable by Tenant in connection with the Work (Landlord agreeing to provide Tenant with copies of paid invoices or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tenant evidencing such costs), Tenant shall be permitted to terminate the Letter of Credit.

 

9


5.6 Disputes . Any disagreement, which may arise between Landlord and Tenant with reference to the Work to be performed by either Landlord or Tenant shall, after good-faith negotiations between Landlord and Tenant, be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the prevailing Construction Arbitration Rules of the Arbitration Association, except that a single arbitrator shall decide all disputes.

In the event that Tenant remedies such imminent threat, Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement from Landlord for Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s written demand, together with copies of paid invoices or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such costs.

B. By the certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of April 16, 2013 (the “ First Amendment ”), by and between Cleveland Industrial and Tenant, the Term of the Lease was extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Amendment (the Original Lease and the First Amendment are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “ Lease ”).

C. Landlord is the successor to all right, title and interest of Cleveland Industrial, as landlord, in, to and under the lease.

D. The Term is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2014.

E. Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Second Amendment to amend the Lease, in part as follows: (i) to further extend the Term; (ii) to provide for the Fixed Rent during such extended Term; (iii) to provide for certain rights of both Landlord and Tenant with respect to that certain space consisting of approximately 19,000 square feet comprising a portion of the Premises as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part thereof (the “ ROFR Space ”); and (iv) to make certain other modifications to the Lease, all as more particularly set forth herein.

F. All references to the Lease shall mean the Lease, as amended, whether or not such reference shall expressly refer to such amendments. Unless otherwise provided herein, all capitalized words and terms used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such words and terms as in the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1. Extension of Term .

(a) Second Amendment Extension Term . The Term is hereby extended for a period of three (3) years commencing on November 1, 2014 (the “ Second Amendment Extension Term Commencement Date ”), and ending on October 31, 2017 (the “ Second Amendment Extension Term Termination Date ”). Tenant shall have the right to further extend the Term based on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1(b) below, it being understood that Section 3.8 of the Original Lease and Section 3 of the First Amendment shall be deleted and replaced with Section 1(b) below.


(b) Renewal Options . Tenant shall have two (2) consecutive options (each, an “ Extension Option ”) to extend the Term for all (but not less than all) of the Premises which are demised under the Lease as of the day immediately preceding the Second Amendment Extension Term Termination Date for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each, an “ Extension Term ”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) No Default . The lease is in full force and effect and Tenant has not defaulted in the performance of its obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods at the time of its exercise of the then applicable Extension Option nor at the commencement of the then applicable Extension Term, but Landlord shall have the right at its sole discretion to waive the non-default condition herein.

(ii) Fixed rent . Each Extension Term shall be upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in the Lease, except that: (A) Tenant may not again exercise the Extension Option during the second Extension Term so as to further extend the Term beyond the expiration of the second Extension Term; and (B) the Fixed Rent payable for each Extension Term (the “ Market Extension Rent ”) shall be at the then current “market rate” annual Fixed Rent rate for new leases for similar space in the Building as in effect six (6) months prior to commencement of the applicable Extension Term, determined in accordance with this Section 5(b)(ii); provided, however, the Fixed Rent rate for each Extension Term shall in no event be less than the Fixed Rent rate for each previous Term or Extension Term (as the case may be).

(A) Market rate Fixed Rent shall mean the Fixed Rent rate for which the Premises would be expected to be leased for a five (5) year term commencing on the first day of the applicable Extension Term, with annual increases, in an arm’s-length transaction between a willing lessor and lessee in the greater Cleveland, Ohio metropolitan area industrial space market existing at the time such rate is established.

(B) If Tenant properly exercises the applicable Extension Option, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree as to the market rate Fixed Rent at least five (5) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree as to the market rate Fixed Rent by such date, then market rate Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term shall be determined by binding “baseball” arbitration, in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) The party desiring such arbitration shall give written notice to that effect to the other party, specifying in such notice the name, address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after service of such notice, the other party shall give written notice to the party desiring such arbitration, specifying the name, address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as appraiser on its behalf.

The market rate Fixed Rent determined by each of the first two selected appraisers (each a “Proposed Rent Determination,” and collectively, the :Proposed Rent Determinations”) shall be submitted to the third selected appraiser within a period of thirty (30) days after the appointment of such third appraiser. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Proposed Rent Determinations, such third appraiser shall select one Proposed Rent Determination as the Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties.

(2) Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by both parties.

(iii) Additional Rent . During each Extension Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Additional Rent, together will all other sums due, owing or payable under the Lease.

(iv) Exercise of Option . Tenant may exercise each Extension Option by giving Landlord a written notice thereof on or before the date that is six (6) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term. Failure by Tenant to timely exercise its right to each Extension Option shall be deemed a waiver by Tenant of its right to exercise the applicable Extension Option.

(v) Lease Amendment . If Tenant exercises an Extension Option, then the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect Tenant’s exercise of the applicable Extension Option upon the terms provided herein, which amendment shall be executed within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercises the applicable Extension Option.

PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS

1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas .

1.1.1 The Premises . Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “ Premises ”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and an outline of the Project is set forth in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2 , below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3 , below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2 , below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its presently existing “as-is” condition and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that base Building electrical, mechanical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and plumbing systems located in the Premises shall be in good working order and the roof shall be water tight as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. Except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as defined in Section 10.13 below) by any alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant, if such systems and/or the roof are not in good working order as of the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant and Tenant provides Landlord with notice of the same within ninety (90) days following the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the same at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Subject to any repairs or restoration required by the immediately preceding sentence, the commencement of business operations from the Premises by Tenant shall presumptively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises, the Building and the Project have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).

1.1.2 The Building and The Project . The Premises consist of the entire building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “ Building ”). The Building is part of a multi-building office project known as the “ Mountain View Research Park .” The term “ Project ,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land

(which is improved with landscaping, surface parking lot(s) and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, (iii) those certain other sixteen (16) office buildings located in the vicinity of the Building which together with the Building comprise the Mountain View Research Park, and the land upon which such buildings are located, and (iv) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project (collectively, “ Additional Property ”); provided, however, the addition of any such Additional Property shall not increase the Base Rent payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease or otherwise materially increase Tenants’ obligations (including Tenant’s obligations to pay Additional Rent) or materially reduce Tenant’s rights under this Lease or materially interfere with Tenant’s access to, and/or use of the Premises.

1.1.3 Common Areas . Tenant shall have the right, which except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 1.1.3 shall be non-exclusive, to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, are collectively referred to herein as the “ Common Areas ”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “ Project Common Areas ,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord, which Project Common Areas may include, from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion, a conference center and other amenities. The term “ Building Common Areas ,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas. In no event, however, shall Landlord’s changing of any Common Areas reduce Tenant’s parking or otherwise materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of or operation within the Premises, or materially increase its obligations, or materially impair its rights, under this Lease.

1.2 Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building . For purposes of this Lease, “ rentable square feet ” in the Premises and the Building, as the case may be, has been calculated pursuant to Landlord’s current method for measuring rentable square footage. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the rentable area of the Premises is as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary and shall not be subject to adjustment as a result of any remeasurement.

ARTICLE 2

LEASE TERM

2.1 Lease Term . The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “ Lease Term ”) shall commence on the “ Lease Commencement Date ,” as that term is set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary, and shall terminate on the “ Lease Expiration Date ,” as that term is set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Premises are currently occupied by another tenant of the Building. If Landlord is unable for any reason to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on any specific date , then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder. For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Lease Year ” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C , attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof; provided, however, Tenant’s failure to execute and return such notice to Landlord within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the information set forth in such notice is as specified therein.

In addition to the foregoing, subject to any delays caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties and events of Force Majeure, if Landlord fails to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before January 2, 2015 (the “ Base Rent Delivery Date ”), Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) day of per diem Base Rent abatement for each day commencing on the day after the Base Rent Delivery Date and ending on the date Landlord so tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant. Any such Base Rent Abatement shall be separate from and in addition to any Rent Abatement described in Section 3.2 below.

2.2 Outside Date for Delivery of Premises .

2.2.1 Outside Date . If Landlord does not tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before March 1, 2015 (the “ Outside Date ”), then except as provided in Section 2.1 above, the sole remedy of Tenant for such failure shall be the right to deliver a notice to Landlord (a “ Termination Notice ”) electing to terminate this Lease effective upon the date occurring five (5) business days following receipt by Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “ Effective Date ”). The Termination Notice must be delivered by Tenant to Landlord, if at all, not earlier than the Outside Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.3 , below) nor later than ten (10) business days after the Outside Date. The effectiveness of any such Termination Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord shall be governed by the terms of this Section 2.2 .

2.2.2 Extension of Outside Date After Delivery of the Termination Notice . If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Effective Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Effective Date by delivering written notice to Tenant, prior to the Effective Date, that, in Landlord’s reasonable, good faith judgment, Landlord will be able to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (the “ Termination Extension Notice ”). If Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant within such thirty (30) day suspension period, then the Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the Landlord does not tender possession of the Premises to Tenant within such thirty (30) day suspension period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day suspension period.

2.2.3 Extension of Outside Date Prior to the Delivery of Termination Notice . If, prior to the Outside Date, Landlord determines that it will not be able to tender possession of the Premises to Landlord on or prior to the Outside Date, then Landlord shall have the right to deliver a written notice to Tenant stating Landlord’s opinion as to the date by which Landlord will be able to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant shall be required, within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice, to deliver a notice to Landlord pursuant to which Tenant shall elect either (i) to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon Landlord’s receipt of such notice, or (ii) to agree to extend the Outside Date to that date set forth in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. Failure by Tenant to deliver such notice or to make such election shall be deemed to be Tenant’s agreement to extend the Outside Date to that date set forth in Landlord’s notice to Tenant. If Tenant agrees or is deemed to have agreed to extend the Outside Date, then Landlord shall have a continuing right to deliver a notice to Tenant which requests Tenant to elect either to terminate this Lease or to further extend the Outside Date as set forth in this Section 2.2.3 , above, until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date or until this Lease is terminated. Upon the delivery of a Termination Notice by Tenant pursuant to Section 2.2.1 above in connection with an Outside Date extended pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 , Landlord shall also have the same right to deliver the Termination Extension Notice as to the new Outside Date, as set forth in Section 2.2.2 , above.

2.2.4 Other Terms . The Effective Date and the Outside Date shall be extended to the extent of any delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, including any delay or delays caused by “Force Majeure,” as that term is defined in Section 29.16 of this Lease and/or any delays caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties. Upon any termination as set forth in this Section 2.2 , so long as Tenant has not previously defaulted under any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved from any and all liability to each other resulting hereunder except that Landlord shall return to Tenant any prepaid rent previously advanced by Tenant under this Lease and shall return to Tenant the L/C. Tenant’s rights to terminate this Lease, as set forth in this Section 2.2 , shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for the failure of the Landlord to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Outside Date as set forth above.

ARTICLE 3

installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent for the third (3 rd ) full month of the Lease Term shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to 1/365 of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

3.2 Abated Base Rent . Provided that Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary under this Lease, then during the first two (2) full calendar month(s) of the Lease Term (the “ Rent Abatement Period ”), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Base Rent otherwise attributable to the Premises during such Rent Abatement Period (the “ Rent Abatement ”). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the aggregate amount of the Rent Abatement equals $145,452.60. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Rent Abatement has been granted to Tenant as additional consideration for entering into this Lease, and for agreeing to pay the rental and performing the terms and conditions otherwise required under this Lease. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease and shall fail to cure such default within the notice and cure period, if any, permitted for cure pursuant to this Lease, or if this Lease is terminated for any reason other than Landlord’s breach of this Lease, then the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination, as the case may be, shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Rent applicable at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Rent for the Premises in full.

ARTICLE 4

ADDITIONAL RENT

4.1 General Terms . In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay (i) “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Building Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Sections 4.2.9 and 4.2.2 of this Lease, respectively, and (ii) Tenant’s Share of “Capital Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.8 , below, pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Lease. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Additional Rent ,” and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as “ Rent .” All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord may upon expiration of the Lease Term deliver to Tenant an estimate of any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other obligations outstanding, and Landlord may either deduct such amount from any funds otherwise payable to Tenant upon expiration or require Tenant to pay such funds immediately. Landlord shall make necessary adjustments for differences

charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“ Proposition 13 ”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises, the tenant improvements in the Premises, or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; and (v) All of the real estate taxes and assessments imposed upon or with respect to the Building and all of the real estate taxes and assessments imposed on the land and improvements comprising the Project.

If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Building Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce Tax Expenses and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent shall constitute an event of default by Tenant under this Lease.

Tenant’s Share was calculated by multiplying the number of rentable square feet of the Premises, as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary, by 100, and dividing the product by the total number of rentable square feet in the office area of the Building.

4.3 Allocation of Direct Expenses .

4.3.1 Method of Allocation . The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project ( i.e. , the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consists of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of any other buildings in the Project) and such portion shall be the Building Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease. Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole, but in no event shall Building Direct Expenses include Capital Expenses.

4.3.2 Cost Pools . Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “ Cost Pools ”), in Landlord’s discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses allocable to each such Cost Pool shall be allocated to such Cost Pool and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.

4.4 Calculation and Payment of Direct Expenses . Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1 , below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.

4.4.1 Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant . Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “ Statement ”) which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of

 

   15

Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due or within thirty (30) days, whichever is earlier, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2 , below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (an “ Excess ”), Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of such Excess against Rent next due under this Lease. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses is greater than the amount of Estimated Direct Expenses previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (again, an Excess), Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of such Excess. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses . In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “ Estimate Statement ”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “ Estimate ”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “ Estimated Direct Expenses ”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4 , nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2 ). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible .

4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay thirty (30) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1 , above.

4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, business tax or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

4.6 Calculation and Payment of Capital Expenses . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on a monthly basis, as Additional Rent and in addition to Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of all Capital Expenses incurred by Landlord for any Expense Year; provided, however, any such Capital Expenses shall be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost at an annual interest rate reasonably determined by Landlord) over its useful life as Landlord shall reasonably determine, and Tenant shall only be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of such amortized amount. The amount of Capital Expenses incurred by Landlord, as well as Tenant’s Share of such Capital Expenses, shall be set forth on each Statement and each Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord Tenant and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of such Capital Expenses at the same time and in the same manner as Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses.

4.7 Tenant’s Right to Audit . Subject to the provisions of this Section and provided that no Event of Default of Tenant exists, Tenant shall have the right to examine the correctness of the Statement or any item contained therein:

4.7.1 Any request for examination in respect of any Expense Year may be made by notice from Tenant to Landlord no more than sixty (60) days after the date (the “ Statement Date ”) Landlord provides Tenant the Statement in respect of such Expense Year and only if Tenant shall have fully paid such amount. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the matters questioned. Any examination must be completed and the results communicated to Landlord no more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Statement Date.

4.7.2 Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s sole right to contest the Statement shall be as expressly set forth in this Section. Tenant hereby waives any and all

other rights pursuant to Applicable Law to inspect Landlord’s books and records and/or to contest the Statement. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise Tenant’s right to inspect Landlord’s books and records as provided in this Section, or if Tenant shall fail to timely communicate to Landlord the results of Tenant’s examination as provided in this Section, with respect to any Expense Year Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.

4.7.3 So much of Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Operating Expenses for the specific matters questioned by Tenant for the Expense Year included in the Statement shall be made available to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord timely receives the notice from Tenant to make such examination pursuant to this Section, either electronically or during normal business hours at the offices where Landlord keeps such books and records or at another location, as determined by Landlord.

4.7.4 Tenant shall have the right to make such examination no more than once in respect of any Expense Year in which Landlord has given Tenant a Statement.

4.7.5 Such examination may be made only by a qualified employee of Tenant or a qualified independent certified public accounting firm approved by Landlord. No examination shall be conducted by an examiner who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingent fee basis.

4.7.6 As a condition to performing any such examination, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form acceptable to Landlord, agreeing to keep confidential any information which it discovers about Landlord or the Building in connection with such examination.

4.7.7 No subtenant shall have any right to conduct any such examination and no assignee may conduct any such examination with respect to any period during which the assignee was not in possession of the Premises.

4.7.8 All costs and expenses of any such examination shall be paid by Tenant.

4.7.9 If as a result of such examination Landlord and Tenant agree that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of the Operating Expenses exceeded the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, or that Tenant is entitled to a credit with respect to the Operating Expenses, Landlord, at its option, shall refund to Tenant the amount of such excess or apply the amount of such credit, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after the date of such agreement. . If the results of such examination disclose a liability for a refund to Tenant in excess of five percent (5%) of Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses previously reported, the reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of such audit, not to exceed $5,000, shall be borne by Landlord; otherwise the cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant. Similarly, if Landlord and Tenant agree that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of Operating Expenses were less than the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after the date of such agreement.

(15) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is reasonably visible from the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following ten (10) business days’ notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations do not adversely affect the systems and equipment of the Building, exterior appearance of the Building, or structural aspects of the Building (the “ Cosmetic Alterations ”).

8.2 Manner of Construction . Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, and the requirement that upon Landlord’s request made at the time such consent is granted, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Mountain View, all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord’s design parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined below, then if Tenant shall not succeed in contesting such governmentally required change, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base Building; provided that in the event that Tenant’s request for approval of any Alteration shall indicate Tenant’s desire for Landlord to notify Tenant of any such Base Building changes, Landlord shall notify Tenant (to the extent Landlord is then aware of any such required changes), in its approval of such Alterations (if applicable), and Tenant shall be permitted, at its option, to promptly elect to not have the Alterations performed. The “ Base Building ” shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Santa Clara in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, to the extent applicable, as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.

If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the hard costs of each such Alteration as a construction supervision fee; and (vii) all other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Alterations. If Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of such work, and Landlord shall not charge Tenant for any construction supervision or other fee.

8.4 Construction Insurance . In the event that any Alterations are made pursuant to this Article 8 , prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of Section 10.14 of this Lease, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, if the cost of any Alterations is expected to exceed $150,000, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

8.5 Landlord’s Property . All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, at Landlord’s election, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord; provided; however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Tenant at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to any Alteration or improvement, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the applicable Alteration or improvement will be required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5 . If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, if elected by Landlord, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16 , below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, including but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees,

Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any work on the Premises which may give rise to a lien on the Premises, Building or Project (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.

The Landlord Parties shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such Landlord Parties.

Landlord and such additional persons or entities as Landlord may reasonably request shall be named as loss payees, as their interests may appear, on the policy or policies required by this section. In the event of loss or damage covered by the “all risk” insurance required by this section, the responsibilities for repairing or restoring the loss or damage shall be determined in accordance with Article 11 of this Lease, below. To the extent that Landlord is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, Landlord shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage.

contain any self-insured retention greater than $25,000. Any deductibles and such self-insured retentions shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purposes of the waiver in Section 10.13 of this Lease, below. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to require Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts of insurance based on such limits as are customarily carried with respect to similar properties in the area in which the Premises are located. The minimum amounts of insurance required by this Lease shall not be reduced by the payment of claims or for any other reason. In the event Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain any insurance meeting the requirements of this Article, or to deliver such policies or certificates as required by this Article, Landlord may, at its option, on five (5) days notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

(Acceptable forms of such certificates for liability and property insurance, respectively, are attached hereto as Exhibit H .) In jurisdictions requiring mandatory participation in a monopolistic state workers’ compensation fund, the insurance certificate requirements for the coverage required for workers’ compensation will be satisfied by a letter from the appropriate state agency confirming participation in accordance with statutory requirements. Such current participation letters required by this Section shall be provided every six (6) months for the duration of this Lease. Failure by the Tenant to provide the certificates or letters required by this Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirements in this Section.

10.9 Subtenants And Other Occupants . Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide written documentation evidencing the obligation of such subtenant or other occupant to indemnify the Landlord Parties to the same extent that Tenant is required to indemnify the Landlord Parties pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Lease, above, and to maintain insurance that meets the requirements of this Article, and otherwise to comply with the requirements of this Article. Tenant shall require all such subtenants and occupants to supply certificates of insurance evidencing that the insurance requirements of this Article have been met and shall forward such certificates to Landlord on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which the subtenant or other occupant or any of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers,

10.11 Tenant To Pay Premium Increases . If, because of anything done, caused or permitted to be done, or omitted by Tenant (or its subtenant or other occupants of the Premises), the rates for liability, fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance on the Project or on the property and equipment of Landlord or any other tenant or subtenant in the Building shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and/or the other tenants and subtenants in the Building for the additional insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord or by any of the other tenants and subtenants in the Building which shall have been charged because of the aforesaid reasons, such reimbursement to be made from time to time on Landlord’s demand.

Tenant shall obtain from its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises a similar waiver and release of claims against any or all of Tenant or Landlord. The insurance policies required by this Lease shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties’ waiver and release of the rights of recovery in this section.

Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided, however, if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, then Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent and in the proportion that the Premises or such portion thereof are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair . Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, in which event this Lease shall terminate, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice will include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but this Lease may be so terminated Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies or that portion of the proceeds from Landlord’s insurance policies allocable to the Building or the Project, as the case may be; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the

Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; or (vi) any owner of any other portion of the Project, other than Landlord, does not intend to repair the damage to such portion of the Project; provided, however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy and as a result of such damage the Premises are unfit for occupancy, and provided that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and either (a) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, or (b) the damage occurs during the last twelve months of the Lease Term and will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant.

11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions . The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11 , constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage, to or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

ARTICLE 12

NONWAIVER

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or

the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment. No payment of Rent by Tenant after a breach by Landlord shall be deemed a waiver of any breach by Landlord.

ARTICLE 13

CONDEMNATION

If the whole or any material, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if all reasonable access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13 , in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

ARTICLE 14

Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a “ Transfer ,” and, collectively, as “ Transfers ” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “ Transferee ”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “ Transfer Notice ”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “ Subject Space ”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (v) upon Landlord’s request, an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E . Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket professional fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent . Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

14.2.1 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

14.2.2 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

14.2.3 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;

14.2.4 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;

14.2.5 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, and (ii) is actively negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project; or

14.2.6 Any part of the rent payable under the proposed Transfer shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Subject Space or if any proposed Transfer shall potentially have any adverse effect on the real estate investment trust qualification requirements applicable to Landlord and its affiliates.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2 , or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14 , their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord’s wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord’s consent.

14.3 Transfer Premium . If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3 , received by Tenant from such Transferee. “ Transfer Premium ” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any tenant allowances to be used for improvements or changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises (whether used by Tenant or the Transferee) in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent reasonably provided to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer (provided that such free rent shall be deducted only to the extent the same is included in the calculation of total consideration payable by such Transferee), and

(iii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer and (iv) legal fees reasonably incurred in connection with the Transfer (collectively, “ Tenant’s Subleasing Costs ”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Landlord shall make a determination of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is paid by Transferee to Tenant under the Transfer. For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium on a monthly basis, Tenant’s Subleasing Costs shall be deemed to be expended by Tenant in equal monthly amounts over the entire term of the Transfer.

14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to (i) recapture the Subject Space, or (ii) take an assignment or sublease of the Subject Space from Tenant. Such recapture or sublease or assignment notice, shall cancel and terminate this Lease, or create a sublease or assignment, as the case may be, with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, then (i) the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises; (ii) this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same; and (iii) Landlord shall construct or cause to be constructed a demising wall separating that portion of the Premises recaptured by Landlord from that portion of the Premises retained by Tenant; provided that, Tenant hereby agrees that, notwithstanding Tenant’s occupancy of its retained portion of the Premises during the construction of such demising wall by Landlord, Landlord shall be permitted to construct such demising wall during normal business hours, without any obligation to pay overtime or other premiums, and the construction of such demising wall by Landlord shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent, provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business arising from the construction of such demising wall, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of its retained portion of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the construction of such demising wall, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by the construction of such demising wall; and provided further that, Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall pay to Landlord promptly upon being billed therefor, fifty percent (50%) of all costs related to the construction of such demising wall, including Landlord’s standard fee for its involvement with such demising wall. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture, sublease or take an assignment of the Subject Space under this Section 14.4 , then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of this Article 14 .

14.5 Effect of Transfer . If Landlord consents to a Transfer, then (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified; (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee; (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord, including, without limitation, at Landlord’s option, a “Transfer Agreement,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.5 , below; (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, Tenant’s chief financial officer, or another officer of Tenant who has knowledge of real estate accounting and financial reporting practices setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, together with reasonable backup information and documentation; and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space, and, in the event of a Transfer of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease, the liability of Tenant and such Transferee shall be joint and several. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , Landlord, at its option in its sole and absolute discretion, may require, as a condition to the validity of any Transfer, that both Tenant and such Transferee enter into a separate written agreement directly with Landlord (a “ Transfer Agreement ”), which Transfer Agreement, among other things, shall create privity of contract between Landlord and such Transferee with respect to the provisions of this Article 14 , and shall contain such terms and provisions as Landlord may reasonably require, including, without limitation, the following: (a) such Transferee’s agreement to be bound by all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent); (b) such Transferee’s acknowledgment of, and agreement that such Transfer shall be subordinate and subject to, Landlord’s rights under Section 19.3 of this Lease; and (c) Tenant’s and such Transferee’s recognition of and agreement to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Article 14 , including, but not limited to, any such terms and provisions which Landlord, at its option, requires to be expressly set forth in such Transfer Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any default by Transferee under such Transfer, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, but not the obligation, on behalf of Tenant, to pursue any or all of the remedies available to Tenant under such Transfer or at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative).

14.6 Occurrence of Default . Any Transfer hereunder, whether or not such Transferee shall have executed a Transfer Agreement, shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, then Landlord shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 19.3 of this Lease with respect to such Transfer. In addition, if Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, then Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with a Transfer directly to Landlord (which payments Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed

under this Lease after the date thereof. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

14.7 Additional Transfers . For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or a limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, officers or members, as applicable, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership ownership or membership interests (as applicable), within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation ( i.e ., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (a) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (b) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (c) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.

14.8 Non-Transfers . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (a) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant as of the date of this Lease), (b) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, (c) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, or (d) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant during the Lease Term, shall not be deemed a Transfer under Article 14 of this Lease (any such assignee or sublessee described in items (a) through (d) of this Section 14.8 hereinafter referred to as a “ Permitted Non-Transferee ”), provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such transfer or transferee as set forth above, (ii) Tenant is not in default, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (iii) in the case of (A), (C) and (D) above, such Permitted Non-Transferee shall have a tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“ Net Worth ”) at least equal to the greater of (1) the Net Worth of Tenant on the date of this Lease, and (2) the Net Worth of Tenant on the day immediately preceding the effective date of such assignment or sublease, and (iv) no assignment relating to this Lease, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease, and, in the event of an assignment of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease, the liability of Tenant and such transferee shall be joint and several. In connection with the notice requirement set forth in

(i) above, in the event Tenant is required to comply with confidentiality restrictions relating to such transfer, at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with Tenant on a commercially reasonable form covering the information contained in such notice prior to Tenant’s deliver of such notice to Landlord. “Control,” as used in this Section 14.8 , shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND

REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

15.1 Surrender of Premises . No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant . Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15 , quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, unattached partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and, such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, require to be removed, subject to Section 8.5 , and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove Alterations which are standard office improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Consistent with, and without limiting, the terms and conditions of Section 8.2 and Section 8.5 above, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to which Alterations constitute non-standard office improvements at the time Landlord approves the plans and specifications for any such Alterations, and Tenant shall be obligated to remove such Alterations at or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, plus the amount of Additional Rent due hereunder, for the first (1 st ) month of such holdover, and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent thereafter, plus the amount of Additional Rent due hereunder. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E , attached hereto (or such other commercially reasonable form as may be reasonably required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other factual information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. At any time during the Lease Term, but not more often than once per calendar year, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

MORTGAGE OR GROUND LEASE

18.1 Subordination . Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that there are no mortgages or deeds of trust, or any underlying or ground leases encumbering the Building or the Project as of the date of this Lease. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto (collectively, the “ Superior Holders ”); provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease, shall be the receipt by Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the standard form provided by such Superior Holders, which requires such Superior Holder to accept this Lease, and not to disturb Tenant’s possession, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and be continuing executed by Landlord and the appropriate Superior Holder. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further commercially reasonable instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

18.2 Notice to Lienholder or Ground Lessor . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 28 , below, or elsewhere in this Lease, upon receipt by Tenant of notice from any holder of a mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance in force against the Building or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises or any lessor under a ground lease or underlying lease of the Building or the Project, or from Landlord, which notice sets forth the address of such lienholder or ground lessor, no material notice or notice of default from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such lienholder or ground lessor at the appropriate address therefor (as specified in the above-described notice or at such other places as may be designated from time to time in a notice to Tenant in accordance with Article 28 , below), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by

such lienholder or ground lessor within a reasonable period of time after such notice from Tenant (including a reasonable period of time to obtain possession of the Building or the Project, as the case may be, if such lienholder or ground lessor elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Article 18 , the term “mortgage” shall include a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not a mortgage on Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder).

18.3 Assignment of Rents . With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the Rent payable to Landlord hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to any holder of a mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance in force against the Building or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises or to any lessor under a ground lease or underlying lease of the Building or the Project, Tenant agrees as follows:

18.3.1 The execution of any such assignment by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by such lienholder or ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such lienholder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, unless such lienholder or ground lessor shall, by notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect.

18.3.2 Notwithstanding delivery to Tenant of the notice required by Section 18.3.1 , above, such lienholder or ground lessor, respectively, shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations under this Lease only upon such lienholder’s foreclosure of any such mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance, or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, and taking of possession of the Building or the Project or applicable portion thereof, or such ground lessor’s termination of any such ground lease or underlying leases and assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder, as the case may be. In no event shall such lienholder, ground lessor or any other successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease, as the case may be, be liable for any security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord, unless and until such lienholder, ground lessor or other such successor, respectively, actually has been credited with or has received for its own account as landlord the amount of such security deposit or any portion thereof (in which event the liability of such lienholder, ground lessor or other such successor, as the case may be, shall be limited to the amount actually credited or received).

18.3.3 In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Building and the land upon which the Building is located or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases back to the seller thereof the entire Building or the land upon which the Building is located or the Project or the entirety of that part thereof acquired by such purchaser, as the case may be, be treated as an assumption, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, or to the successors to or assigns of such seller-lessee’s estate, for performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such seller-lessee, and Tenant covenants and agrees in the event the lease to such seller-lessee is terminated to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to such purchaser-lessor, if so requested to do so by such purchaser-lessor, and to recognize such purchaser-lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such purchaser-lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and

observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, or the successors to or assigns of such seller-lessee’s estate, shall be the lessor under this Lease unless and until such seller-lessee’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

19.1 Events of Default . The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due, which failure is not cured within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord that said amount was not paid when due, provided that if Tenant has previously received two (2) or more notices from Landlord during the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) month period stating that Tenant failed to pay any amount required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease when due, then Landlord shall not be required to deliver any notice to Tenant and a default shall immediately occur upon any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under the Lease when due; or

19.1.2 Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 19.1, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or

19.1.3 The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, which shall mean that Tenant has vacated the Premises for ten (10) consecutive days without making adequate provision for security, whether or not Tenant is in monetary default. Tenant shall be deemed to have made adequate provision for security if Tenant has given Landlord ten (10) days’ advance notice of intent to vacate the Premises and after such vacation Tenant complies with a security program for vacation previously approved by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion; or

19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 5, 10, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease, or any breach by Tenant of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 29.34 of this Lease, or the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease which failure, because of the character of such provision, covenant or condition, would immediately jeopardize Landlord’s interest, where such failure continues for more than three (3) business days after notice from Landlord.

The notice periods provided in this Section 19.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.

19.2 Remedies Upon Default . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof; without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Law.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and 19.2.1(ii) , above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to

reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2 , above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by Applicable Law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

19.3 Subleases of Tenant . If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19 , then Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option in its sole discretion, (i) to terminate any and all assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises, in which event Landlord shall have the right to repossess such affected portions of the Premises by any lawful means, or (ii) to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any or all such assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, in which event Landlord may require any assignees, sublessees, licensees or other parties thereunder to attorn to and recognize Landlord as its assignor, sublessor, licensor, concessionaire or transferor thereunder. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

19.4 Efforts to Relet . No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

ARTICLE 20

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord.

ARTICLE 21

LETTER OF CREDIT

21.1 Delivery of Letter of Credit . Tenant shall deliver to Landlord concurrent with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (including, without limitation, damages provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable negotiable standby letter of credit (the “ L/C ”) in the amount set forth in Section 10 of the Summary (the “ L/C Amount ”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I , payable in the City of San Francisco, California (or payable upon delivery of a draw request sent by Landlord by overnight courier delivery), running in favor of Landlord, drawn on a bank (the “ Bank ”) reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service (the “ Credit Rating Threshold ”), and otherwise conforming in all material respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , including, without limitation, all of the requirements of Section 21.2 below, all as set forth more particularly hereinbelow. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining and maintaining the L/C. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord’s consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and the out-of-pocket attorney’s fees for outside counsel incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of billing.

21.2 In General . The L/C shall be “callable” at sight, permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Tenant further covenants and warrants as follows.

21.2.1 Landlord Right to Transfer . The L/C shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L/C to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such transfer is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the L/C, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said L/C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L/C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

21.2.2 No Assignment by Tenant . Tenant shall neither assign nor encumber the L/C or any part thereof. Neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance by Tenant in violation of this Section.

21.2.3 Replenishment . If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the L/C pursuant to its rights set forth in Section 21.3 below, the amount of the L/C shall be less than the L/C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord, provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L/C restoring such L/C to the L/C Amount or (ii) additional L/Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency, which additional L/Cs shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 21 , and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 19.1 above, the same shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional notice and/or cure period).

21.2.4 Renewal; Replacement . If the L/C expires earlier than the date (the “ LC Expiration Date ”) that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver a new L/C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the L/C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, which new L/C shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L/C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the L/C shall contain a so-called “evergreen provision,” whereby the L/C will automatically be renewed unless at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal is provided by the issuer to Landlord; provided, however, that the final expiration date identified in the L/C, beyond which the L/C shall not automatically renew, shall not be earlier than the LC Expiration Date.

21.2.5 Bank’s Financial Condition . If, at any time during the Lease Term, the Bank’s long term credit rating is reduced below the Credit Rating Threshold, or if the financial condition of the Bank changes in any other materially adverse way (either, a “ Bank Credit Threat ”), then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute L/C that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, and Tenant’s failure to obtain such substitute L/C within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) shall entitle Landlord, or Landlord’s then managing agent, to immediately draw upon the then existing L-C in whole or in part, without notice to Tenant, as more specifically described in Section 21.3 below. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all of Landlord’s outside counsel’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the review of the replacement letter of credit, which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.

21.3 Application of Letter of Credit . Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L/C as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (including, without

limitation, damages provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L/C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (a) such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease following the expiration of any applicable cure period, or (b) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “ Bankruptcy Code ”), or (c) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code and the same remains undischarged for sixty (60) days, or (d) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L/C will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or (e) a Bank Credit Threat or Receivership (as such term is defined in Section 21.6.1 below) has occurred and Tenant has failed to comply with the requirements of either Section 21.2.5 above or 21.6 below, as applicable. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder or if any of the foregoing events identified in Sections 21.3(B) through (E)  shall have occurred, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the L/C, in part or in whole, and the proceeds may be applied by Landlord (i) to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default, (ii) against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or (iii) to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered including, without limitation, damages provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. The use, application or retention of the L/C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L/C, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L/C, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the L/C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the L/C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L/C conditional to justify the issuer of the L/C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L/C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L/C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L/C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the L/C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

21.4 Letter of Credit not a Security Deposit . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L/C or any renewal thereof or any proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (a) recite that the L/C is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“ Security Deposit Laws ”) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (b) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.

21.5 Proceeds of Draw . In the event Landlord draws down on the L/C pursuant to Section 21.3(D) or (E)  above, the proceeds of the L/C may be held by Landlord and applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord and need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets. Tenant hereby (i) agrees that (a) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the proceeds from any such draw, and (b) such proceeds shall not be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under the Security Deposit Law, and (ii) waives all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Landlord agrees that the amount of any proceeds of the L/C received by Landlord, and not (a) applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or (b) used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (the “ Unused L/C Proceeds ”), shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant (x) upon receipt by Landlord of a replacement L/C in the full L/C Amount, which replacement L/C shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, or (y) within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the Unused L/C Proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

21.6 Bank Placed Into Receivership .

21.6.1 Bank Placed Into Receivership . In the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship (any such event, a “ Receivership ”) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity (the “ FDIC ”), then, effective as of the date such Receivership occurs, the L-C shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Article 21 , and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such Receivership (the “ LC Replacement Notice ”), Tenant shall (i) replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all material respects with the requirements of this Article 21 or (ii), in the event Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that Tenant is reasonably unable to obtain a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 within the foregoing ten (10) business day period, deposit with Landlord cash in the L-C Amount (the “ Interim Cash Deposit ”); provided, however, that, in the case of the foregoing sub-clause (ii), Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days after the LC Replacement Notice, replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all material respects with the requirements of this Article 21 , and upon Landlord’s receipt and acceptance of such replacement L-C, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Interim Cash Deposit, with no obligation on the part of Landlord to pay any interest thereon. If

Tenant fails to comply in any respect with the requirements of this Section 21.6.1 , then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to (a) declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto other than the aforesaid ten (10) business day and sixty (60) day periods, (b) if applicable, retain such Interim Cash Deposit until such time as such default is cured by Tenant, which retention shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy available to Landlord under the terms of this Lease or at law, and (c) pursue any and all remedies available to it under this Lease and at law, including, without limitation, if Tenant has failed to provide the Interim Cash Deposit, treating any Receivership as a Bank Credit Threat and exercising Landlord’s remedies under Section 21.2.5 above, to the extent possible pursuant to then existing FDIC policy. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all out-of-pocket costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.

21.6.2 Interim Cash Deposit . During any period that Landlord remains in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit (any such period, a “ Deposit Period ”), it is understood by the parties that such Interim Cash Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease. The Interim Cash Deposit shall not constitute an advance of any Rent, an advance payment of any other kind, nor a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. If, during any such Deposit Period, Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, then Landlord may but shall not be required to, from time to time, without notice to Tenant and without waiving any other remedy available to Landlord, use the Interim Cash Deposit, or any portion of it, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy such default or failure or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord, including, without limitation, damages provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code resulting from Tenant’s default or failure to comply fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall within five (5) business days pay to Landlord on demand any amount so applied in order to restore the Interim Cash Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to immediately do so shall constitute a default under the Lease. In the event Landlord is in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease at the time of such expiration or termination, then Landlord shall return to Tenant the Interim Cash Deposit, less any amounts deducted by Landlord to reimburse Landlord for any sums to which Landlord is entitled under the terms of this Lease, within sixty (60) days following both such expiration or termination and Tenant’s vacation and surrender of the Premises. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Interim Cash Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Interim Cash Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds, and Landlord may commingle the Interim Cash Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds.

The L-C Amount shall not be reduced during the period commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and expiring on the last day of the second Lease Year (the “ Fixed Period ”). The Fixed Period shall be automatically extended (without the necessity of notice to Tenant) by four (4) months upon Tenant’s second (2 nd ) failure to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and shall be extended for an additional four (4) months upon each similar failure by Tenant thereafter. After the expiration of the Fixed Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), provided that on or prior to the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant tenders to Landlord (a) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating the Tenant satisfies the “L-C Reduction Conditions,” as that term is defined below, and (b) a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C (or a new L-C), conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount as of such Reduction Date, then the L-C Amount (as that amount may have been adjusted due to an expansion or reduction of the Premises in accordance with Article 1 of this Lease, the “ Adjusted L-C Amount ”), shall be reduced as follows:

 

Reduction Date

   L-C Amount  

Lease Year 3

   $ 375,114.60   

Lease Year 4

   $ 300,091.68   

Lease Year 5

In the event Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating the Tenant satisfies the L-C Reduction Conditions prior to the applicable Reduction Date, or if Tenant fails to deliver a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C as required by this Section 21.7 , then the L-C Amount shall not be reduced upon such applicable Reduction Date, but the terms of this Section 21.7 shall remain effective and the L-C Amount shall thereafter be reduced, to the amount applicable to such Reduction Date, on the date Tenant delivers to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating that Tenant then satisfies the L-C Reduction Conditions (provided that no such reductions shall be permitted in the event this Lease is terminated early as a result of a Tenant default).

21.8 Increase of L-C Amount . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 21.7 above, in the event Tenant installs a Test Cell in accordance with the provisions of Section 29.39 below, prior to the commencement of construction of the Test Cell, the L-C Amount shall be increased by the amount equal to the estimated cost to remove the Test Cell and to restore the Premises to its condition prior to the installation of the Test Cell. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new L-C or a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , in such increased L-C Amount, prior to the commencement of construction of the Test Cell.

may be oral, and which notice shall not be required in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers if less than twelve (12) months remain in the Lease Term; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building or the Building’s systems and equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27 , Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (a) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial service if so required; (b) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein which breach is continuing beyond any applicable grace or cure period; and (c) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in connection with such entries into the Premises. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Provided Landlord complies with the following, Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to applicable law for personal injury and property damage to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Provided that Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in connection with entries into the Premises, Tenant hereby waives any claims for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in connection with such entries. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is not in default of its obligation under this Lease and if the alterations, improvements or repairs are not required as a result of an act or omission of Tenant, if Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of such alterations, improvements or repairs by Landlord (such set of circumstances to be known as an “ Repair Abatement Event ”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Repair Abatement Event, and if such Repair Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “ Abatement Eligibility Period ”), then the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Abatement Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct

Exhibit 10.9

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“ Agreement ”) is made as of January 18, 2013 (the “ Effective Date ”) by and between ViewRay Incorporated (the “ Company ”) and Chris Raanes (the “ Executive ”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to procure the services of Executive, and Executive is willing to be employed by the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Employment . Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive accepts employment. The Executive’s employment with the Company is effective as soon as practicable, but no later than February 4, 2013 (the “ Executive Start Date ”).

2. Employment at Will . The Executive and the Company understand and agree that the Executive is an employee at-will, and that the Executive may resign, or the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment, at any time and for any or for no reason. Nothing in this Agreement or the Related Agreement (as hereinafter defined) shall be construed to alter the at-will nature of the Executive’s employment, nor shall anything in this Agreement or the Related Agreement be construed as providing the Executive with a definite term of employment.

3. Position . During the Executive’s employment with Company, the Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall perform those duties generally required of persons in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, including but not limited to, direct oversight of the day to day management of the Company’s facilities, personnel, finances, research and development, business development, marketing and sales and other related functions, as well as such other duties, not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Bylaws of the Company as the same may be amended or amended and restated from time to time, or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as the same may be amended or amended and restated from time to time (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”), as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) may from time to time direct (the “ Executive Duties ”). The Executive shall be subject to the authority of the Board and shall report and be responsible to the Board.

4. Scope of Services . The Executive agrees to devote his full business time and attention, skills and best efforts to the performance of the Executive Duties and shall not, during his employment by the Company, without the prior written approval of the Board, be employed by or otherwise engaged in any other business activity requiring any of the Executive’s time, except as expressly set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Executive shall not be required to relocate his primary residence or his family to the greater Cleveland, Ohio area. The parties agree that a significant portion (but no required minimum) of the Executive’s work as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is expected to be performed out of the Company’s office in Oakwood Village, Ohio (or such other location in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area as the Company may from time to time utilize as its principal offices). The parties also agree,

 

1


however, that the Executive may perform a significant portion of his work from a remote (or home) office; provided, that such remote (or home) working arrangement does not adversely affect the Executive’s ability to perform the Executive Duties (as reasonably determined by the Board, without the vote of the Executive if the Executive is a member of the Board at such time). Whether the Company’s principal offices will change locations is one of the decisions the Executive will be expected to drive, and the Board looks forward to the discussion on the relocation of part or all of the Company. The Company understands that the relocation of the Company to Silicon Valley, while not guaranteed, is the likely outcome of the strategic review the Executive will undertake.

5. Salary, Compensation and Benefits .

5.1 Base Salary . The Company agrees to pay, and the Executive agrees to accept, as the Executive’s salary for all services to be rendered by the Executive hereunder, a salary at an annual rate of $415,000 (“ Base Salary ”), payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. The Base Salary is subject to annual increases in the sole discretion of the Board.

5.2 Bonuses .

5.2.1 Performance Bonus . For each calendar year during which the Executive is employed by the Company, the Executive will be eligible (but not entitled) to receive, upon achievement of both individual and Company goals for such calendar year, a target performance bonus of 50% of Base Salary for that calendar year (the “ Performance Bonus ”). The individual and Company goals will be established at the beginning of the year, through good faith collaboration between the Executive and the Board. Any Performance Bonus will be paid on or before such date or dates as may from time to time be established by the Board. For the calendar year 2013, the Performance Bonus, if any, will be pro-rated based on the Executive Start Date.

5.2.2 Signing Bonus . As additional consideration for the Executive’s agreement to accept employment with the Company, and contingent upon: (i) the execution and delivery of the Related Agreement by the Executive, and (ii) the Executive commencing his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer under this Agreement on the Executive Start Date, the Company shall pay to the Executive a signing bonus in an amount equal to Fifty Thousand dollars ($50,000) (the “ Signing Bonus ”). The signing bonus will be paid in two installments: (1) Fifty percent of the bonus will be paid on the Executive Start Date, and (2) the remaining fifty percent will be paid on the six-month anniversary of the Executive Start Date, provided the Executive is employed on such date. The signing bonus will be recoverable by the Company on a pro-rata basis if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment prior to the first anniversary of the Executive Start Date.

5.3 Incentives, Savings and Retirement Plans . During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all incentive stock option, savings, and retirement plans, policies and programs made available by the Company to executive-level employees generally (“ Plans ”). Such Plans shall be subject to

 

2


change from time to time as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Company. In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Executive Start Date and subject to the approval of the Board, the Executive shall be entitled to a stock option grant (the “ Option ”) to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock that represent 5.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of January 18, 2013 (calculated on an as-converted-to-common stock basis). The Option will be exercisable at a price per share equal to the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. One quarter of the shares underlying the Option will vest on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Executive Start Date, with 1/48th of the total number of remaining shares vesting on the first day of each month thereafter.

5.4 Carve-Out Plan . The Company will implement a change in control carve-out plan (the “Carve-Out Plan”) that will provide the Executive with minimum levels of compensation at various transaction price levels as indicated in the spreadsheet attached hereto as Exhibit B . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will remain vested and be eligible to participate (to the extent vested on the termination date) in the Carve-Out Plan only if and for so long as he is employed at the time of, or within six months prior to, the closing of a Change in Control, unless Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause by the Company.

5.5 Fringe Benefits . During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in such group medical, travel and accident, short and long-term disability and term life insurance benefits, if any, as the Company shall make generally available from time to time to executive-level employees. Such benefits shall be subject to change from time to time as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Company. If the Company’s group medical plan does not allow the Executive to continue to receive medical care from the same doctors that provided medical care to the Executive under the health insurance plan provided to the Executive by his prior employer, then the Company agrees to cooperate with the Executive to provide an alternative health insurance plan to the Executive that will allow the Executive to continue to receive medical care from such doctors (the “Alternative Plan”), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Executive Start Date; provided, however, that (i) the cost to the Company of the Alternative Plan is reasonable and (ii) the Executive shall be solely responsible for determining that the Executive can continue to receive medical care from such doctors under the Alternative Plan prior to its implementation by the Company.

5.6 Reimbursement .

5.6.1 General . During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Executive (or, in the Company’s sole discretion, shall pay directly), upon presentation of vouchers and other supporting documentation as the Company may reasonably require, for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive relating to the business or affairs of the Company or the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable expenses with respect to travel, lodging and similar items (other than those expenses addressed by section 5.6.2 herein), provided that the incurring of such expenses shall have been approved in accordance with the Company’s regular reimbursement procedures and practices in effect from time to time. The Company’s regular reimbursement procedures and practices and the reasonableness of future travel, lodging and similar items shall be subject to the periodic review and amendment by the Board.

 

3


5.6.2 Commuting Expenses . During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable costs of housing and transportation in the greater Cleveland area and commercial air travel by the Executive between his home and the Company’s principal offices in Oakwood Village, Ohio, as required by this Agreement and subject to the Company’s travel and related procedures and practices as established by the Board and as in effect from time to time; provided , that in addition to complying with all travel and related policies, the “reasonableness” of all such costs shall be determined by the Board. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.6.2 to the contrary, if the Executive voluntarily relocates to Oakwood Village, Ohio or the greater Cleveland, Ohio area at any time during the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.6.2 shall immediately cease and the Company shall reimburse the Executive for those reasonable expenses associated with relocation that have been approved by the Board.

5.7 Vacation . In addition to statutory holidays, the Executive shall be entitled to four weeks paid vacation each calendar year during the Executive’s employment, accruing ratably each month. The Company also agrees to allow the Executive an additional four week period of time off, at a time of the Executive’s choosing, but scheduled with the best interests of the Company in mind, within 24 months of the Effective Date.

5.8 Withholding . The Company may withhold from the Executive’s compensation all applicable amounts required by law.

6. Termination of Employment .

6.1 General . In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason (including death or disability), the Company shall pay to the Executive (i) any Base Salary as well as accrued vacation pay, expense reimbursements, compensation and benefits under any Plan, and any and all benefits and other similar amounts, accrued but unpaid as of the date of termination, and (ii) the awarded but unpaid portion, if any, of the Bonuses for any prior year.

6.2 Without Cause or With Good Reason . If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below), or the Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then, provided that the Executive executes and delivers, and does note revoke, a general release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (i) the Company shall pay an amount equal to twelve months of the Executive’s Base Salary (at the rate in effect at the time of termination), and (ii) the Company shall make payment of a prorated portion of the Performance Bonus to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled, if any, for the calendar year in which Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, pursuant to the payment schedule in the following sentence (collectively, the “ Severance Payments ”). Base Salary severance payments will be made in equal installments on the days regular payments are made to Company employees. The prorated portion of the Performance Bonus, if any, will be

 

4


paid on the date that bonus payments are made to current Company employees, or on the regular payroll day that the Company makes the first Base Salary severance payment, whichever is later. Provided that the Executive properly elects COBRA continuation coverage, the Company will reimburse the Executive for the cost of the insurance premiums for such coverage. The Executive will be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of (i) the twelve-month anniversary of the Executive’s termination, (ii) the date the Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage from another employer. In addition, the Option grant shall provide that if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, or the Executive resigns for Good Reason, then the shares underlying the option grant that would otherwise (absent the termination) have vested in the 12 months following the Executive’s termination shall accelerate and become fully-vested as of the date of the Executive’s termination. In no event shall the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries be entitled to any of the payments or benefits set forth in this Section 6.2 upon termination of the Executive’s employment by reason of his disability or death.

6.3 Change of Control . The Option grant shall provide that, in the event that a Change of Control (defined below) occurs during the Executive’s employment hereunder and the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason at any time three months prior to or eighteen months following such Change of Control, then all Option Shares shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination. A “Change of Control” is defined as (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) a merger, consolidation or other similar business combination involving the Company, if, upon completion of such transaction the beneficial owners of voting equity securities of the Company immediately prior to the transaction beneficially own less than fifty percent of the successor entity’s voting equity securities; provided , that “Change of Control” shall not include a transaction where the consideration received or retained by the holders of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company does not consist primarily of (i) cash or cash equivalent consideration, (ii) securities which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or any successor statute and/or (iii) securities for which the Company or any other issuer thereof has agreed, including pursuant to a demand, to file a registration statement within ninety days of completion of the transaction for resale to the public pursuant to the Securities Act.

6.4 Code Section 280G .

6.4.1 in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit which is in the nature of compensation and is contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (a “ Payment ”), would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the “ Excise Tax ”), then the Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code

 

5


but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by the Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by the Executive if no such reduction was made. The specific Payments that shall be reduced and the order of such reduction shall be determined so as to achieve the most favorable economic benefit to the Executive, and to the extent economically equivalent, the Payments shall be reduced pro rata, all as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Section 6.4.1, “net after-tax benefit” shall mean (i) the Payments which the Executive receives or are then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the Payments calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the Payments shall be paid to the Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of Excise Taxes imposed with respect to the Payments.

6.4.2 All determinations required to be made under this Section 6.4 shall be made by such nationally recognized accounting firm as may be selected by the Audit Committee of the Board of the Company as constituted immediately prior to the change in control transaction (the “ Accounting Firm ”), provided , that the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code, The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Executive and the Company within 15 business days following the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Executive ( provided that the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) or the Company. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in reaching such a determination shall be borne solely by the Company.

7. Related Agreement . The Executive is executing on the date hereof a Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Interference Agreement (as may be amended from time to time, the “ Related Agreement ”). It shall be a condition precedent to the Executive’s effective employment under this Agreement that the Executive shall have executed and delivered to the Company the Related Agreement. Executive hereby covenants and agrees to abide by the terms of the Related Agreement at all times.

8. Executive’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants . The Executive represents and warrants that the Executive is not a party to any other employment, non-competition, or other agreement or restriction which could interfere with the Executive’s employment with the Company or the Executive’s or the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder and that the Executive’s acceptance of employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder will not breach the provisions of any contract, agreement, or understanding to which the Executive is party or any duty owed by the Executive to any other person. The Executive hereby further covenants and agrees that the Executive shall abide by all Company policies, procedures, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, those policies, procedures, rules and regulations set forth in the Company’s Employee Handbook, as may be amended from time to time.

If the Board determines in good faith (if the Executive is a member of the Board at such time he shall not be entitled to participate in such determination) that Cause for termination exists, the Executive shall be given written notice by the Board that provides the factual basis for the determination and the Executive shall have ten business days to respond and to try and cure the condition(s) giving rise to the determination prior to that determination becoming final; provided , however , that this sentence shall not apply to, nor shall the Board be obligated to provide any such cure period for conditions of Cause which by their nature, and as reasonably determined by the Board, are not subject to cure.

7

Furthermore, if you are a “specified employee” of a public company as determined pursuant to Section 409A as of your termination of employment, any amounts payable on account of your termination of employment which constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A and which are otherwise payable during the first six months following your termination of employment shall be paid or provided to you in a lump sum on the earlier of (1) the date of your death and (2) the first business day of the seventh calendar month immediately following the month in which your termination of employment occurs.

19.2 Reimbursements . Any taxable reimbursement of business or other expenses, or any provision of taxable in-kind benefits to you, as specified under this Agreement, shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code (and, as a result, if there is a maximum dollar amount of expense reimbursement specified in this Agreement, only expenses in the first taxable year in which you could incur eligible expenses shall be eligible for reimbursement, to the limitation specified); (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any reimbursement of taxes, as specified under this Agreement, shall be paid in any event not later than the end of your taxable year next following the taxable year in which you remit the applicable taxes to the appropriate taxing authority.

19.3 Releases . The payment of any amounts otherwise payable to you on account of termination of employment under this Agreement which constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A and which are subject (among other conditions, if any) to a release of claims may be delayed at the discretion of the Company for up to ninety (90) days following your termination of employment (without regard to when your release is delivered and becomes irrevocable (an “ Effective Release ”)). Regardless of any payment, however, all such amounts remain conditioned on an Effective Release such that if you fail to deliver (or if you revoke) your release you will forfeit and must immediately return such amounts on the Company’s demand.

19.4 Interpretative Rules . In applying Section 409A to compensation paid pursuant to this Agreement, any right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

20. Severability; Titles and Subtitles; Gender: Singular and Plural; Counterparts; Facsimile .

(a) In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(b) The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

(c) The use of any gender in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the other genders, and the use of the singular in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural (and vice versa), wherever appropriate.

(d) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together constitute one instrument.

(e) Counterparts of this Agreement (or applicable signature pages hereof) that are manually signed and delivered by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to constitute signed original counterparts hereof and shall bind the parties signing and delivering in such manner.

1. Duties and Extent of Service

As Chief Financial Officer of the Company, you will have responsibility for performing those duties as are customary for, and are consistent with, such position, as well as those duties as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) or Chief Executive Officer may from time to time designate. You agree to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices and policies of the Company and any changes therein that may be adopted from time to time by the Company. Except for vacations and absences due to temporary illness, you will be expected to devote your full time and effort to the business and affairs of the Company and shall not, during your employment by the Company, without the prior written approval of the Board, be employed by or otherwise engaged in any other business activity requiring any of your time, except as expressly set forth on Annex A hereto.

The Company is currently located in Village of Oakwood, Ohio. The Company acknowledges that your primary residence is in Bellevue, Washington. You shall not be required to relocate your primary residence or your family to the greater Cleveland, Ohio area. As we have discussed and mutually agreed, a significant portion of your work as Chief Financial Officer of the Company is expected to be performed out of the Company’s office in Village of Oakwood, Ohio (or such other location in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area as the Company may from time to time utilize as its principal offices) (the “ Principal Office ”). You may perform a significant portion of your work from a remote (or home) office; provided , that such remote (or home) working arrangement does not adversely affect your ability to perform your duties as Chief Financial Officer of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board, without your vote if you are a member of the Board at such time). As we have further discussed and agreed, you will be expected to work out of the Principal Office for a period of at least eight days per month in the aggregate (such days to be determined by the Board or Chief Executive Officer); provided , that, (i) for every week of vacation taken per month, such eight day period shall be reduced by two days and (ii) for vacation days taken in any month that do not amount to one week in the aggregate, such required eight day period shall be reduced ratably.

You will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 35% of your annual base salary which will be based upon the achievement of certain milestones recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) and approved by the Board; provided , that, any bonus for 2010 will be prorated, based on the number of days that you are employed by the Company during 2010; and, provided , further, that such bonus shall not reflect the achievement by the Company of any milestones prior to the Start Date.

As additional consideration for your agreement to accept employment with the Company, within thirty days of the Start Date and contingent upon: (i) the execution and delivery to the Company of a release agreement between you and vcfo Washington, Inc. in a form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (ii) the commencement of your employment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company on the Start Date, you will be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay to you, a one-time signing bonus in an amount equal to $15,000.

2


Company’s Board of Directors, all Option Shares shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination, and (y) you shall be entitled to receive the Severance subject to, and in accordance with Section 12 of this letter agreement. As used herein, “ Change of Control ” means (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) a merger, consolidation or other similar business combination involving the Company, if, upon completion of such transaction the beneficial owners of voting equity securities of the Company immediately prior to the transaction beneficially own less than fifty percent of the successor entity’s voting equity securities; provided , that “Change of Control” shall not include a transaction where the consideration received or retained by the holders of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company does not consist primarily of (i) cash or cash equivalent consideration, (ii) securities which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or any successor statute and/or (iii) securities for which the Company or any other issuer thereof has agreed, including pursuant to a demand, to file a registration statement within ninety days of completion of the transaction for resale to the public pursuant to the Securities Act.

13. Code Section 280G

(a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to you or for your benefit which is in the nature of compensation and is contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), whether paid or payable pursuant to this letter agreement or otherwise (a “ Payment ”), would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax, the “ Excise Tax ”), then the Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by you shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by you if no such reduction was made. The specific Payments that shall be reduced and the order of such reduction shall be determined so as to achieve the most favorable economic benefit to you, and to the extent economically equivalent, the Payments shall be reduced pro rata, all as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. For purposes of this section, “net after-tax benefit” shall mean (i) the Payments which you receive or are then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the Payments calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the Payments shall be paid to you (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of Excise Taxes imposed with respect to the Payments.

(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 13 shall be made by such nationally recognized accounting firm as may be selected by the Audit Committee of the Board as constituted immediately prior to the change in control transaction (the “ Accounting Firm ”), provided , that the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to you and the Company within 15 business days following the date of termination of your employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by you ( provided , that you reasonably believe that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) or the Company. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in reaching such a determination shall be borne solely by the Company.

14. Section 409(A) of the Code

To the extent that any payments or benefits under this letter agreement are deemed to be subject to Section 409(A) of the Code, this letter agreement will be interpreted in accordance with Section 409(A) of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder in order to (a) preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to such payments and (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409(A) of the Code.

 

15. Governing Law; Arbitration

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Ohio (without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law that would cause the application of the internal laws of any other jurisdiction).

In consideration of the Company employing you and the wages and benefits provided under this letter agreement, you and the Company each agree that all claims arising out of or relating to your employment, including its termination, shall be resolved by arbitration.

The dispute will be arbitrated in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company agrees to pay the fees and expenses relating to arbitration, except those related to your legal fees and costs. However, if either party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party, under the standards for an award of fees and costs provided by law. You and the Company agree to file any demand for arbitration within the time limit established by the applicable statute of limitations for the asserted claims or within one year of the conduct that forms the basis of the claim if no statutory limitation is applicable. Failure to demand arbitration within the prescribed time period shall result in waiver of said claims.

These provisions regarding arbitration will cover all matters directly or indirectly related to your recruitment, employment or termination of employment by the Company, including, but not limited to claims involving laws against any form of discrimination whether brought under federal or state law, and claims involving present and former employees, officers and directors of the Company, but excluding workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance claims. EACH PARTY TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IT IS WAIVING ITS RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

 

16. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability

This letter agreement (together with the Employee Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Interference Agreement and Option Agreement) sets forth the sole and entire agreement and understanding between the Company and you with respect to the specific matters contemplated and addressed hereby and thereby. No prior agreement, whether written or oral, shall be construed to change or affect the operation of this letter agreement in accordance with its terms, and any provision of any such prior agreement which conflicts with or contradicts any provision of this letter agreement is hereby revoked and superseded. Any prior agreement, if any, you may have with the Company regarding your employment, whether written or oral, is hereby, and

 

7


without any further action on your part or the Company’s, terminated, revoked and superseded by this letter agreement. This letter agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written instrument executed both by you and the Company. In the event that any provision of this letter agreement shall, in whole or in part, be determined to be invalid, unenforceable or void for any reason, such determination shall affect only the portion of such provision determined to be invalid and unenforceable or void and shall not affect in any way the remainder of such provision or any other provision of this letter agreement.

The dispute will be arbitrated in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

However, if either party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party, under the standards for an award of fees and costs provided by law. You and the Company agree to file any demand for arbitration within the time limit established by the applicable statute of limitations for the asserted claims or within one year of the conduct that forms the basis of the claim if no statutory limitation is applicable. Failure to demand arbitration within the prescribed time period shall result in waiver of said claims.

These provisions regarding arbitration will cover all matters directly or indirectly related to your recruitment, employment or termination of employment by the Company, including, but not limited to claims involving laws against any form of discrimination whether brought under federal or state law, and claims involving present and former employees, officers and directors of the Company, but excluding workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance claims. EACH PARTY TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IT IS WAIVING ITS RIGHTS TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

 

15. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability

This letter agreement (together with the Employee Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Interference Agreement, Converted Option Agreements and In-Plan Option Agreement) sets forth the sole and entire agreement and understanding between the Company and you with respect to the specific matters contemplated and addressed hereby and thereby.

Any prior agreement, if any, you may have with the Company regarding your employment, whether written or oral, is hereby, and without any further action on your part or the Company’s, terminated, revoked and superseded by this letter agreement. This letter agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written instrument executed both by you and the Company. In the event that any provision of this letter agreement shall, in whole or in part, be determined to be invalid, unenforceable or void for any reason, such determination shall affect only the portion of such provision determined to be invalid and unenforceable or void and shall not affect in any way the remainder of such provision or any other provision of this letter agreement.

(d) ViewRay shall also seek to provide Jastec with access to the [***] facility in [***] to permit Jastec to observe certain production steps for the Product as manufactured by [***], provided that it is expressly understood that ViewRay cannot cause [***] to provide such access and in the event and to the extent that access is not provided, ViewRay and Jastec shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to engage appropriate [***] technical personnel (current or former) to provide consulting services to Jastec with respect to these production practices.

(e) Each party shall provide such technical assistance as is reasonably requested by the other party and is also reasonably necessary for the timely and complete performance of the Program responsibilities of such other party.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


2.2 Progress Reports . (a) ViewRay and Jastec shall periodically meet, in person or by telephone or videoconference at such times and places as are mutually agreed upon, for Jastec to provide ViewRay with an update on the status of the progress of the Program.

(b) While Jastec will make recommendations with respect to the design and manufacture of the Product, ViewRay shall exercise a broad general power of supervision over the Product design, with final approval of the design and development of the Product (including, but not limited to, the definitive TDP).

2.3 Deliverables . (a) Jastec will provide ViewRay with reasonable access at the Jastec facility during regular business hours to each deliverable due under Attachment 1 (each, a “ Deliverable ”) in accordance with the schedule in Attachment 1 ; provided that those Deliverables that can be reasonably provided to ViewRay electronically shall be delivered in that medium. After “delivery”, ViewRay shall inspect the Deliverable and test such Deliverable against the Specifications using the ATP. If ViewRay accepts the Deliverable, ViewRay shall acknowledge its acceptance (“ Acceptance ”) of the Deliverable in writing. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable, ViewRay shall provide Jastec with notice of rejection, including a reasonably specific description of the failure alleged. The parties shall confer and agree upon a plan to resolve the nonconformity with the Specifications and a budget for such efforts and Jastec will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure any such deficiencies as soon as possible and redeliver such Deliverable to ViewRay. ViewRay shall have ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the redelivered Deliverable in which to accept or reject the Deliverable. The parties shall repeat the above process until the earlier of the date the Deliverable complies with the applicable Specifications or until ViewRay notifies Jastec that it is unwilling to continue to fund its portion of remediation costs with respect to a proposed remediation plan; provided that such notice shall not be delivered until after completion of the initial remediation plan for the Deliverable and shall not be delivered during the time period when Jastec is performing an approved remediation plan for such Deliverable.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the Deliverables need not be error-free to have achieved the requirements for ViewRay to make payment of the milestones specified in Attachment 2 , but if any Deliverable delivery or redelivery contains errors that individually or in the aggregate adversely affect ViewRay’s ability to use such Deliverable in accordance with the Specifications or embodies defects in materials or workmanship, ViewRay may rightfully reject such Deliverable delivery or redelivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acceptance will not relieve Jastec of its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to fix all identified errors in a timely fashion.

(c) ViewRay will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to test each Deliverable as quickly as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of delivery of such Deliverable.

2.4 Changes . (a) During the Program, either party may request amendments to Attachment 1 to effect changes in the Specifications or may request changes in the TDP. If either party wishes to make a change it shall notify the other party of the requested change specifying the change with sufficient details to enable the other party to evaluate it. The parties shall promptly confer regarding the proposed change and assess (i) the impact of the change on the schedule, (ii) the impact of such change on the cost for the Product, and (iii) the impact of such change on the technical risk of the Programs. The parties shall attempt to resolve any disagreement with respect to whether a proposed change should be undertaken or not but in the event of a disagreement with respect to whether or not to adopt and implement a proposed change ViewRay shall have the final decision except with respect to the cost of implementing such change, which must be mutually agreed in accordance with Section 2.6.

(b) The parties shall enter into a written change control document documenting any change adopted pursuant to this Section 2.4 including the technical details of such change, the expected impact of such change on the schedule and the budgeted costs for such change (a “ Change Control Document ”). Jastec shall not implement any proposed change without a Change Control Document. ViewRay shall be responsible for preparing each Change Control Document and Jastec shall enter into such Change Control Document promptly upon presentation by ViewRay.

2.5 Success Criteria . If the initial unit of Product conforms to the Specifications, then the provisions of Section 3 shall take effect. If the initial unit of Product does not conform to the Specifications or if ViewRay and Jastec determine during the course of the Program that the results of the Program are unsatisfactory; which determination shall be made with reference to the prospects for realizing Products that meet the Specifications then in each case they may mutually agree to terminate the Program under Section 9.2(d). If the parties do not agree with respect to termination of the Program pursuant to this Section 2.5, they shall resolve such dispute using the procedure specified in Section 10.2(a)-(b).

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


2.6 Program Funding . Recognizing that (a) the manufacture of the initial unit of Product is a developmental activity (and that there are uncertainties attendant thereto) and (b) the initial three (3) units of Product will be ordered by ViewRay prior to the date that the initial unit of Product is completed in order to facilitate delivery of the second unit of Product by mid-October 2014 and the delivery of the third unit of Product by mid-November 2014, the price for the initial three (3) units of Product have been adjusted upwards based upon Jastec’s estimate as of the Effective Date of the costs for the performance of the Program. If, however, additional costs are necessary for the completion of Product unit 1, 2 or 3 based upon Jastec having an incomplete understanding of the manufacturing process for the Product prior to the completion of the Program with respect to the initial unit of Product, then the parties shall follow the procedure specified in Section 2.4 with respect to the additional costs required to complete Product unit 1, 2 or 3 and such additional costs shall be borne 50% each by the parties. The parties shall attempt to schedule the manufacture of each of the initial three units of Product in a manner that reduces the risk that the second and third units of Product are advanced to a production stage until the initial unit of Product has cleared that stage successfully.

3. PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS AND TERMS OF SALE

3.1 Supply . If the initial unit of Product conforms to the Specifications then ViewRay may place Purchase Orders for Products or Spare Parts from time to time during the Term at prices specified in Section 3.5.

3.2 Purchase Forecasts . ViewRay will deliver to Jastec a non-binding twenty four (24) month rolling forecast (the “Forecast”). The Forecast will cover the 24 months commencing with and including the calendar month in which the first delivery of Products is to occur. After delivery of the initial Forecast, the Forecast will be updated on a quarterly basis.

3.3 Product Orders . (a) ViewRay will submit to Jastec firm written purchase orders (each a “ Purchase Order ”) for the purchase of Products at least ten (10) months prior to the specified delivery date of the ordered Products for units of Product after unit 6 and at least twelve (12) months prior to the specified delivery date of the ordered Products for the initial 6 units of Product. Each Purchase Order will specify the quantity or, if more than one shipment is requested, quantities of Products ordered, the requested delivery date or dates, and ship-to locations. Orders will be placed by ViewRay to Jastec by email or facsimile, or by other means agreed upon by the parties, to an address provided by Jastec, which will initially be, [***]. In the case of conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and either the standard printed terms of any Purchase Order or the standard printed terms of sale of Jastec, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

(b) ViewRay may delay shipment for up to six (6) months with notice to Jastec delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled delivery date. ViewRay may cancel Purchase Orders with notice of cancellation delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled delivery date; provided that ViewRay reimburses Jastec for the materials purchased within the established materials lead time and for the labor costs incurred within the established labor lead time in respect of such cancelled Purchase Order and provided further that no reimbursement shall be due Jastec if ViewRay continues to submit Purchase Orders to Jastec for Products.

3.4 Obligation to Supply . (a) Jastec will acknowledge all Purchase Orders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of same and will accept and fill each order for Product submitted by ViewRay within ten (10) months following the date such Purchase Order is received for units of Product after unit 6 and within twelve (12) months following the date such Purchase Order is received for the initial 6 units of Product, including orders that exceed the Forecast for any month by up to fifty percent (50%) of the amount in the Supply Forecast for such month delivered ten (10) months prior to such month with respect to orders for Product after unit 6 and twelve (12) months prior to such month with respect to orders for the initial 6 units of Product. Jastec will not be in breach of this Section 3.4 if Jastec’s failure to supply Products is due to a Force Majeure event or if Jastec’s failure is limited to quantities in excess of the quantities specified in this Section 3.4.

(b) Each party will promptly notify the other party of any circumstances that it believes may be of importance as to Jastec’s ability to meet ViewRay’s needs for the Products in a timely manner. If the Forecasts indicate that ViewRay’s need for the Products will exceed Jastec’s existing capacity to supply the Products, the parties will determine in good faith whether Jastec successfully can expand its production capacity so as to meet ViewRay’s needs in a timely manner.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


(c) Jastec will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to meet all committed delivery dates for Product and to achieve better than ninety five percent (95%) on-time delivery performance. For purposes of this Section 3.4(c) Product delivery shall be on-time if the delivery is made by: (i) the committed delivery date specified in Section 3.3(a) or up to thirty (30) days earlier than the committed delivery date specified in Section 3.3(a) for the initial 4 units of Product; and (ii) the committed delivery date specified in Section 3.3(a) or up to fourteen (14) days earlier than the committed delivery date specified in Section 3.3(a) for all subsequent units of Product. Commencing with the delivery of Product unit 5 a Product delivery shall be deemed late if it is delivered more than thirty (30) days after the committed delivery date specified in Section 3.3(a), and there shall be a price reduction on such late deliveries equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price of the units of Product that are delivered late. Jastec shall reflect such price reduction, if possible, in its invoice to ViewRay for the applicable Product units. In the event Jastec is unable to reflect such price reduction in such invoice, ViewRay shall be entitled to deduct the amount of the price reduction from any invoice due to Jastec, including the invoice submitted by ViewRay for the applicable Product units. Delivery of a partially completed Product, or a Product that does not conform to the Specifications, shall be counted as a late delivery. If ViewRay requests Jastec to deliver a unit of Product with a lead-time shorter than specified in Section 3.3(a), and Jastec agrees to said earlier delivery date, then no price reduction shall apply to such unit of Product under this Section 3.4(c) until the late period extends beyond the lead-time specified in Section 3.3(a).

3.5 Pricing . (a) ViewRay shall pay Jastec the prices set forth in Attachment 2 for the Products, Spare Parts and installation and support services provided by Jastec to ViewRay pursuant to this this Agreement. ViewRay acknowledges that Jastec has not received the TDP from [***] and that accordingly certain materials costs and other design considerations are unknown by Jastec. The pricing set forth in Attachment 2 is acknowledged as a best estimate, but will be confirmed by Jastec within thirty (30) days of Jastec’s receipt of the TDP. ViewRay has provided an estimated purchase price of direct materials for the Bill of Materials used in the existing magnet supplied ViewRay by [***] in the amount of $[***] (including [***] costs for Product testing at the Jastec facility but excluding [***] costs at the ViewRay customer site) for purposes of Jastec preparing their Product pricing specified in Attachment 2 . If the actual purchase price for the direct materials for the Bill of Materials exceeds $[***] based upon Jastec’s review of the [***] TDP, then the Product pricing set forth in Attachment 2 shall be adjusted so that the pricing provides Jastec with [***]% overhead on materials and a [***]% profit margin on the Product.

(b) All payments will be made by wire transfer. Jastec will invoice ViewRay and ViewRay shall pay Jastec in installments as set forth in Attachment 2 .

(c) If ViewRay fails to make any payment due to Jastec under this Agreement by the due date for payment, then, without limiting Jastec’s remedies under Section 1 0.2, the overdue amount shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per annum above LIBOR (as published as of the closing of markets on the due date) from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount. This Section 3.5(c) shall not apply to payments that ViewRay contests in good faith using the procedures in Section 10.2 during the pendency of such dispute; provided that in the event ViewRay does not prevail in such dispute then interest shall accrue from the date payment was due until the date ViewRay makes payment and such payment shall when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued.

(d) All payments shall be stated and paid in U.S. Dollars. If the exchange rate for purchasing Japanese Yen with U.S. Dollars as stated in the Wall Street Journal, New York edition increases or decreases by more than ten percent (10%) from the rate of I U.S. Dollar to 100 Japanese Yen (the “ Reference Exchange Rate ”) on the date ViewRay places a Purchase Order for Product, then the parties shall adjust the prices set forth in Attachment 2 to reflect such increase or decrease, as applicable; so that the adjustment is shared equally (50% each) by ViewRay and Jastec. Such revised price shall become the new Reference Exchange Rate, for purposes of calculating future increases or decreases of more than ten percent (10%), shall be set at that of the then-prevailing exchange rate.

(e) Jastec acknowledges that ViewRay must continually reduce the price of the ViewRay system to increase the sales of such system and that this requires that Jastec and ViewRay develop cost reduction strategies for the Product. Within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date and at least quarterly thereafter, Jastec and ViewRay will confer to identify and implement cost reductions. Specific cost reduction projects mutually agreed will be effective immediately upon implementation into the manufacturing process and will be reviewed periodically and mutually agreed to by ViewRay and Jastec.

If there is no agreement on such a remediation plan within that time period, then either PARTY shall

  be entitled to terminate this Agreement. If the parties are not successful in curing deficiencies pursuant to the plan adopted pursuant to this Article 3.7 then they shall repeat the above process once more and if they are unable to cure the deficiencies on such second attempt then either PARTY may terminate this Agreement.

 

3.8 At any point after completion of PHASE 1, but not later than at completion of PHASE 2, VIEWRAY may terminate the rental agreement of the mobile MRI system. After termination of the rental agreement, the MRI system will be converted back to a standard mobile [***] MRI system.

Article 4 – PHASE 3 of Business Relationship

 

4.1 After successful completion of PHASE 2, SIEMENS shall supply COMPONENTS to VIEWRAY in accordance with the stipulations of the Supply Agreement attached as Appendix 2 hereto (the “SUPPLY AGREEMENT”) and in case of any inconsistency between any provision of Articles 1 to 13 and the provisions of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT, the SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall prevail. The date of the documented review meeting (see Article 3.6) shall be treated as the effective date for the SUPPLY AGREEMENT (“EFFECTIVE DATE II”), which shall take effect automatically and without signature upon the PARTIES determination that PHASE 2 has been successfully completed in accordance with Article 3.6.

 

4.2 SIEMENS will support the product development work for the MRgRT system by providing a SIEMENS System Engineer, to be located at VIEWRAY’s premises during the initial term of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT up to a maximum of three years.

The costs for the SIEMENS System Engineer, including relocation expenses, shall be reimbursed by VIEWRAY and are based on the rates as described in Appendix 1 .

 

4.3 VIEWRAY will use standard COMPONENTS from SIEMENS wherever possible. SIEMENS will modify COMPONENTS to allow full function of the integrated MRgRT system if necessary or useful, technically feasible and commercially reasonable. Changes in the measurement and control system of the COMPONENTS are exempt from this Article 4.3. Change requests made during PHASE 3, shall be made pursuant to Section 8.3 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

 

4.4 SIEMENS will provide VIEWRAY access to all available regulatory documentation to assist in FDA submissions by VIEWRAY. SIEMENS will notify VIEWRAY without undue delay in case SIEMENS COMPONENTS are involved in any product recall actions that might affect the FDA approval of the VIEWRAY MRgRT system.

 

4.5 SIEMENS will provide VIEWRAY with all necessary service documentation available at SIEMENS, such documentation to be provided pursuant to the Quality Agreement contemplated by the SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

Article 8—Intellectual Properties

 

8.1 Inventions—including, but not being limited to, inventions eligible for statutory protection (patent applications, patents, etc.)—made during the term and under the cooperation of this Agreement (“INVENTIONS”) by employees of one PARTY shall become neither the property of the other PARTY nor the common property of both PARTES, and the one PARTY, therefore and insofar as it otherwise has the right to do so, shall be free to use such INVENTIONS as it sees fit and to file for statutory protection and to use, maintain and permit to lapse such application for statutory protection and any statutory rights issued thereon.

 

8.2 INVENTIONS made by employees of both PARTIES (“JOINT INVENTIONS”) shall, at the time they are made, become the joint property of both PARTIES.

 

8.2.1 JOINT INVENTIONS, including any and all statutory protection issuing thereon (as per Section 8.2.2, below, or otherwise), if any, may be used by each PARTY as such PARTY sees fit. Each PARTY, therefore, for example and without limitation, has the transferable right to grant non-exclusive, further transferable licenses under such JOINT INVENTIONS.

 

8.2.2 For JOINT INVENTIONS which are eligible for statutory protection the PARTIES will agree upon the details for filing for such protection.

In case only one (1) PARTY is interested in filing for statutory protection for JOINT INVENTIONS, then the other PARTY shall execute and forward to the one PARTY all documents requested by the one PARTY and reasonably believed to be necessary and/or desirable for such procedure. Statutory rights filed for JOINT INVENTIONS by one PARTY at its own expense shall, from the date of filing, become the sole property of that one PARTY, and, therefore, for example and without limitation, can be used, maintained and permitted to lapse by this PARTY as it sees fit. The other PARTY’S rights to use such statutory rights are as laid down in Section 8.2.1, above.

 

8.2.3 Each PARTY ensures that it will be in a position to immediately acquire the share of inventions of its employees insofar as JOINT INVENTIONS are concerned.

 

8.2.4 Neither PARTY is obligated to take action against third PARTIES infringing upon statutory rights filed or issued for JOINT INVENTIONS or to defend such rights against third PARTIES.

8.4 INFORMATION and RESULTS, which one PARTY receives from the other under this Agreement may be used by the receiving PARTY outside the FIELD as such PARTY seems fit, provided, however, that no rights are granted in this Article 8.4 under any present or future statutory rights, including without limitation BACKGROUND PATENTS, with the exception of JOINT INVENTIONS as set forth in Article 8.2.

 

8.5 The stipulations of Articles 8.1 through 8.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Preamble

WHEREAS BUYER shall procure from SELLER products in the course of a long term cooperation; and

WHEREAS , for their mutual benefit, the PARTIES seek to secure the supply, to improve the planning, to ensure delivery on time, to minimize the respective stocks and to reduce the expenditures for the transaction of business.

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the above, the PARTIES agree to the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Subject of the Agreement

Subject of this SUPPLY AGREEMENT is the procurement of the COMPONENTS as described in Annex 1 hereto.

 

2. Demand Planning and Purchase Orders

 

2.1 BUYER shall place purchase orders with SELLER covering his demand for three (3) months (hereinafter referred to as “SUPPLY PERIOD”). Such purchase orders shall be issued at least eight (8) weeks before the beginning of the respective SUPPLY PERIOD.

 

2.2 Together with his purchase orders BUYER shall furnish to SELLER a forecast indicating his demand for the period of nine (9) months following the SUPPLY PERIOD.

SELLER shall consider the forecasts when planning his production capacities. If SELLER does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the forecast, it will be deemed accepted by SELLER, and BUYER may assume that SELLER will accept purchase orders within this scope.

 

2.3

BUYER shall forward his purchase orders in writing to SELLER’s relevant local subsidiary. SELLER shall acknowledge the purchase orders within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, as far as they do not exceed the forecast accepted by SELLER.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


SELLER shall make reasonable efforts to meet BUYER’s demand exceeding the forecast. In case SELLER can accept a purchase order of BUYER exceeding the forecast only with modifications (for example concerning delivery date or quantity), the PARTIES will agree without delay on a mutually acceptable solution.

 

2.4 If subsequently to the acknowledgement of any purchase order BUYER requires an earlier or later delivery date as agreed, the PARTIES shall use best efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution.

 

2.5 The terms and conditions of this SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall apply to any purchase order of BUYER regarding the COMPONENTS even if they do not refer to it expressly. Any separate general terms and conditions of BUYER or SELLER shall not apply.

 

2.6 “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is not a national holiday in the United States or Germany.

 

3. Delivery

 

3.1 The COMPONENTS are delivered “EXW” according to Incoterms 2000.

 

3.2 If the delivery date is defined

 

  (a) by day, SELLER shall not deliver more than three (3) days earlier or later as the agreed delivery day;

 

  (b) by week, SELLER shall deliver within the agreed delivery week.

 

3.3 In case SELLER realizes that he cannot adhere to the agreed delivery date, he shall without delay inform BUYER and indicate the prospective duration of the delay. The PARTIES shall immediately endeavor to find reasonable remedial measures.

 

3.4 If SELLER is in delay with deliveries for which he is responsible and if BUYER substantiates that he has suffered damages due to the delay, he may claim per full week of delay liquidated damages of 0.5% of the price of the delayed COMPONENTS up to a maximum amount of 5% of such price. Any further claims for damages due to the delay shall be excluded.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


Further, BUYER may cancel the relevant separate purchase contract without incurring any liability, provided the COMPONENTS have not been delivered within a reasonable grace period set by BUYER.

 

4. Prices

 

4.1 The prices of the COMPONENTS are specified in Annex 2 hereto and are valid for the agreed upon time period.

 

4.2 The prices are based on the clause of the Incoterms 2000 as defined in Section 3.1 and include packaging. The respectively valid VAT shall be added to the price.

 

5. Invoices and Terms of Payment

5.2 Payments shall be effected in EURO within 30 days from the invoice date.

 

6. Risk, Title

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


7. Warranty, Services, Spare Parts

 

7.1 SELLER assumes liability for defects of the COMPONENTS including the lack of assured characteristics as follows:

SELLER shall at its sole discretion either repair or replace the faulty COMPONENTS. In case these corrective actions fail within a reasonable period of time, BUYER is entitled to request price reduction or to cancel the relevant purchase contract and request SELLER to take back the COMPONENTS delivered (under such purchase contract) and to reimburse the purchase price.

Details will be described in the Quality Assurance Agreement as per Annex 4 to the SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

 

7.2 The warranty period for COMPONENTS shall be 15 months starting on the date the risk of loss or damage has passed onto BUYER according to Section 6.1 or 12 months from the date of installation at customer site, whichever is the earlier.

 

7.3 SELLER will be able to supply spare parts for the COMPONENTS for the period of 8 (eight) years after the last delivery of COMPONENTS.

 

7.4 SELLER’s liability for any further damages resulting from the defect(s) of the COMPONENTS shall be limited pursuant to the stipulations of Section 12.

 

7.5 The SELLER shall, at SELLER’s then current pricing, provide the BUYER with information (e.g. service training courses, service documentation, etc.) and aids (e.g. tools, software, etc) to enable the BUYER to perform the service function.

7.6 The BUYER is only entitled to use the information and aids within its own service organization and only to perform services on COMPONENTS that were purchased by the BUYER under this SUPPLY AGREEMENT and delivered to end-users.

7.7 The SELLER shall provide the BUYER with spare parts for the COMPONENTS at SELLER’s then current prices during the term of this Agreement and for a period of eight (8) years after delivery of the last PRODUCT pursuant to this agreement. Details of the processing of spare parts and returned goods are to be found in Annex 3 hereto. The provisions governing the COMPONENTS shall also apply to spare parts unless agreed otherwise in this agreement.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


8. Technical Changes

 

8.1 SELLER is entitled to technically change the COMPONENTS without notice to BUYER; provided that the COMPONENTS continue to conform to the applicable specifications for the then-current COMPONENTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SELLER shall notify BUYER about the changes in writing at least three (3) months before start of production of the changed COMPONENTS. If SELLER makes technical changes to the COMPONENTS that will cause them to not conform to the applicable specifications for the then-current COMPONENTS then SELLER shall follow the procedure in Section 8.2.

 

8.2

If SELLER intends to discontinue the production of then-current COMPONENTS in favor of new COMPONENTS or to make technical changes to the then-current COMPONENTS that SELLER reasonably expects to affect form, size, assembly, function or interfaces of the COMPONENTS so that such new or changed COMPONENTS fail to conform to the applicable specifications for the then-current COMPONENTS, SELLER shall as early as reasonably practicable, taking into consideration the regulatory requirements of introducing changes to the then-current COMPONENTS and the MRgRT System notify BUYER and give BUYER access to specifications for the “new” COMPONENTS as well as access (at SELLER’S facility—or at BUYER’s request and expense at Buyer’s Beachwood, Ohio facility) to a preproduction prototype of the new COMPONENTS prior to commercial release of the new COMPONENTS to permit BUYER to test the COMPONENTS and provide input to SELLER on its impact on the MRgRT System. BUYER will notify SELLER not later than 3 months following the date it is notified of such technical changes by SELLER whether BUYER will adopt the new COMPONENTS for use in the MRgRT System. If BUYER adopts the new COMPONENTS for use in the MRgRT System, Annex 1 and, to the extent applicable, Annex 2 will be amended to reflect the new COMPONENTS. If BUYER has not yet adopted the new COMPONENTS for use in the MRgRT System and

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


SELLER decides to discontinue production of the then-current COMPONENTS, BUYER may, in order to cover its remaining demand, place purchase orders in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.4 for the unchanged then-current COMPONENTS within 3 months after being notified about the technical changes by SELLER.

 

8.3 BUYER may request that SELLER incorporate changes to the COMPONENTS going forward by delivering a written change order to SELLER (a “Post-Development Change Order”). Any such Post-Development Change Order will include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit SELLER to evaluate its feasibility and cost. SELLER will use reasonable efforts to provide within 15 Business Days of receipt of a Post-Development Change Order a detailed response to the Post-Development Change Order including a specification of: (a) new material costs; (b) new labor cost itemized by activity to be performed; (c) the proposed implementation date; and (d) the impact on the delivery schedule and pricing of the COMPONENTS. SELLER will not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to a Post-Development Change Order. Until a Post-Development Change Order has been agreed to in writing, such Post-Development Change Order will not become effective, and the PARTIES will continue to perform their obligations under the then-effective specifications.

 

9. Discontinuance of Production

Should SELLER plan to discontinue the production of COMPONENTS, of which BUYER has procured from SELLER any substantial amount within the preceding 12 months, SELLER shall inform BUYER in writing at least 6 months prior to the date production of such COMPONENTS shall discontinue. BUYER may, in order to cover its remaining demand, place orders in accordance with Section 2.4 until 3 months before the discontinuance date specified in SELLER’s notice, which date shall be at least 6 months following the date of such notice to BUYER.

10. Industrial and Intellectual Property Rights

 

10.1 If a third PARTY raises justified claims against BUYER for infringement of intellectual property rights or copy rights (all together hereafter referred to as “Protective Rights”) by COMPONENTS supplied by SELLER, SELLER shall at its cost acquire for BUYER a right to use the COMPONENTS. In case this is not possible at economically reasonable conditions, SELLER’s liability shall be limited as follows:

 

  (a) SELLER shall defend and indemnify and hold harmless BUYER against any legal costs and damages of BUYER caused by Protective Right infringement by the COMPONENTS as such up to the amount of an appropriate license fee, which the owner of the Protective Rights could claim directly from SELLER for the use of the infringing COMPONENTS.

 

  (b) For future deliveries SELLER shall, if economically reasonable, at its option and in compliance with the specifications defined in Annex 1 modify the COMPONENTS to become non-infringing or deliver an equivalent non infringing COMPONENTS.

Claims shall be deemed justified only if they are acknowledged as such by SELLER or finally adjudicated as such by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

10.2 The obligations of SELLER mentioned in Section 10.1 above apply under the precondition that BUYER informs SELLER without delay in writing of any claims for infringement of Protective Rights, does not accept on his own any such claims and conducts any disputes, including settlements out of court, only in agreement with SELLER.

 

10.3 Any liability of SELLER pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be excluded, if the infringement of Protective Rights is not caused by the COMPONENTS itself, for example if such infringement results from the application of the COMPONENTS (including any application-specific circuitry implemented in the COMPONENTS), unless SELLER did offer the COMPONENTS especially for such infringing application.

 

10.4 Any liability of SELLER shall also be excluded, if the infringement of Protective Rights results from specific instructions given by BUYER or the fact that the COMPONENTS has been changed by BUYER or is being used in conjunction with products not delivered by SELLER, which convert an otherwise non-infringing COMPONENTS to an infringing COMPONENTS.

Preamble

The Parties have signed a Development and Supply Agreement on May 29, 2008, as amended (the “2008 Agreement”) with the intention to collaborate in the development of combining MR imaging and gamma radiotherapy. According to Appendix 2 of the 2008 Agreement as amended (the “SUPPLY AGREEMENT”) SIEMENS delivers certain components as described in Annex 1 to the SUPPLY AGREEMENT (“COMPONENTS”) to VIEWRAY for integration in their MRgRT systems With this Contract Amendment No. 6, the Parties agree (i) to the delivery of the COMPONENTS for the integration by VIEWRAY in the [***] and (ii) to the provision of limited fee-for-service technical assistance from SIEMENS to VIEWRAY with respect to VIEWRAY efforts [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, the activities contemplated by this Contract Amendment No. 6 are in addition to the activities of the Parties with respect to the supply of COMPONENTS by SIEMENS to VIEWRAY of MRI subsystems for MRgRT systems contemplated by the 2008 Agreement.

Agreement

Article 1. COMPONENTS and services for [***]

This Article 1 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for [***] but not for COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems, which will continue to be governed by Section 2 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

 

1.1

VIEWRAY shall furnish to SIEMENS a forecast indicating its demand of COMPONENTS for the period of the next [***] following signature of this Contract Amendment No. 6. If SIEMENS does not object the forecast in writing within fifteen


  (15) Business Days after receipt of the forecast the forecast will be accepted by SIEMENS and SIEMENS will consider the forecast when planning its production capacities. In this case VIEWRAY may assume that SIEMENS will accept purchase orders within this scope. VIEWRAY shall place its orders in writing to SIEMENS and SIEMENS shall acknowledge these orders within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, as far as they do not exceed the forecast accepted by SIEMENS. Section 2.3-2.6 of the Supply Agreement, as well as Articles 2 to 16 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall apply respectively to the delivery of COMPONENTS unless otherwise agreed in this Contract Amendment No. 6.

 

1.2 SIEMENS will consider reasonable requests for technical assistance services from VIEWRAY concerning COMPONENTS for the [***]. If VIEWRAY requests such technical assistance services and SIEMENS agrees to provide such technical assistance services itself, or through its wholly-owned indirect U.S. subsidiary, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., then VIEWRAY shall pay for such technical assistance services at the rates established at the commencement of each request for services pursuant to this Article 1.2. VIEWRAY shall [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, SIEMENS shall not be obligated to agree to the provision of technical assistance services. The provision of technical assistance services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of SIEMENS for the provision of services applicable at the commencement of such technical assistance services.

Article 2. Deviations from the SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Article 2 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems as well as to COMPONENTS delivered for [***].

Article 10 of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall be deleted and replaced as follows:

 

  10.1 BUYER shall be responsible for its use of COMPONENTS and shall verify whether such use infringes any third party patent, utility models or copyright (hereinafter “Protective Rights”).

 

  10.2 If a third party raises claims against SELLER and/or its subsidiaries for infringement of Protective Rights that are based on BUYER’S use of the COMPONENTS in its MRgRT systems or [***] (including but not limited to inducement to infringement and/or contributory infringement), then BUYER shall indemnify and hold harmless SELLER and/or its subsidiaries of any damages, including reasonable attorney fees and other legal costs and expenses as well as appropriate license fees, incurred by SELLER; for the avoidance of doubt, BUYER shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend SELLER and/or its subsidiaries against any claim if that claim is (i) solely based on the fact that the COMPONENT itself infringes a Protective Right and is (ii) independent from the use of the COMPONENT in the MRgRT systems or [***].

 

  10.3 SELLER does not assume any liability with regard to the MRgRT systems and/or [***] developed and/or sold by BUYER. Section 10.2 shall apply likewise in case

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


  a third party raises claims against SELLER for personal injury, damages to property, loss of business or revenue and/or any other damages caused by the use of the MRgRT systems and/or [***] .

 

  10.4 In any claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, SELLER must give BUYER prompt written notice of any claim or proceeding with respect to which it believes it is entitled to seek indemnification. The BUYER shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the BUYER and reasonably satisfactory to the SELLER, provided that (i) the SELLER agrees to that assumption of the defense, which agreement shall not be unreasonably be withheld and (ii) the BUYER acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the SELLER for the claim that is the subject of such notice and that (iii) the defense of such claim takes into account the reasonable interests of SELLER. Should the BUYER so elect to assume the defense of a claim, the BUYER shall also be liable to the SELLER for legal expenses which SELLER incurs if a separate representation of the SELLER in the settlement is appropriate because SELLER, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, has determined that a conflict of interest or reasonable business interests of SELLER make separate representation by the SELLER’S own counsel advisable.

 

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the BUYER assumes such defense, the SELLER may, at its sole option and expense, participate in such defense and employ separate counsel, and further agrees to cooperate in the conduct of any such defense.

 

       If the BUYER assumes such defense, the BUYER shall have the right to settle such claim, in its discretion, with a full release of the SELLER and no admission of liability; provided that the BUYER shall obtain the written consent prior to settling any claim of the SELLER, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Parties agree that it would not be unreasonable withheld the consent if the SELLER would (i) become subject to injunctive or other equitable relief, or any monetary or in-kind obligations, or (ii) if the business of the SELLER would be adversely affected in any manner.

 

       The BUYER has no obligation to indemnify in connection with any settlement made by SELLER without the BUYER’S written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Article 3. Export Control

This Article 3 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems as well as to COMPONENTS delivered for [***].

 

3.1 If VIEWRAY transfers COMPONENTS delivered by SIEMENS or technical assistance services performed by SIEMENS or its wholly-owned indirect U.S. subsidiary, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. to a third party VIEWRAY shall comply with all applicable national and international (re-) export control regulations.

3.5 VIEWRAY shall indemnify and hold harmless SIEMENS and its subsidiaries from and against any claim, proceeding, action, fine, loss, cost and damages arising out of or relating to any noncompliance with export control regulations by VIEWRAY, and VIEWRAY shall compensate SIEMENS and its subsidiaries for all losses and expenses resulting thereof. Section 10.4 shall apply.

Article 4. Safety

This Article 4 shall apply to COMPONENTS delivered for MRgRT systems as well as for COMPONENTS delivered for [***].

 

4.1 The Parties shall, also beyond the term of the SUPPLY AGREEMENT, collaborate to the best of their abilities in order to prevent identified or unidentified risks or damages as quickly and effectively as possible which may be caused by the COMPONENTS so that no one suffers any damage or injury as a result of using the COMPONENTS.

 

4.2 VIEWRAY shall be obliged to monitor the COMPONENTS used together with its own equipment or systems with regard to product defects of all kinds. The aforesaid obligation shall be carried out by VIEWRAY by appropriate organizational measures

2.2 Progress Reports . (a) ViewRay and MSC shall periodically meet, in person or by telephone or videoconference at such times and places as are mutually agreed upon, for MSC to provide ViewRay with an update on the status of the progress of the Program. ViewRay and MSC shall each be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with attending such meetings. The parties’ representatives for purposes of meetings under this Section 2.2 will be MSC’s Director of Engineering, or closest equivalent existing at the time, and ViewRay’s Manager of Hardware Development, or closest equivalent existing at the time.

(b) MSC shall provide ViewRay in advance of each meeting pursuant to Section 2.2(a) an agenda for such meeting and reasonably-detailed written reports describing the results of the Program, including difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program during the period since their last meeting. It is understood and agreed that neither party may change the Specifications without the consent of the other party using the procedure set forth in Section 2.4.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


2.3 Deliverables . (a) MSC will produce the deliverables due under Attachment   1 (each, a “ Deliverable ”) on the schedule set forth in Attachment   1 . ViewRay and MSC shall jointly work to test each Deliverable against the Specifications as shown in Attachment   1 . ViewRay shall be responsible for paying for any testing and testing related cost. Said testing may include [***] in the Depleted Uranium (“DU”) portions of the Deliverable which could adversely impact its shielding effectiveness; and may require shipment of the Deliverable(s) to a third party facility or to ViewRay’s Oakwood Village facility. If shipment to a third party facility or ViewRay’s facility is made, then ViewRay will work with MSC to arrange for shipment of the Deliverable(s) and ViewRay will pay for all shipping related costs. If ViewRay accepts the Deliverable based on such testing, ViewRay shall acknowledge its acceptance ( “Acceptance” ) of the Deliverable in writing. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable, ViewRay shall provide MSC with notice of rejection, including a reasonably specific description of the deficiencies alleged. MSC will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure any such deficiencies in an expedient manner and either “re-deliver” such Deliverable to ViewRay within ten (10) Business Days following the notice of rejection or, if MSC cannot accomplish such re-delivery within such 10-Business Day period deliver to ViewRay within such 10-Business Day period a plan for curing said deficiencies. If MSC makes re-delivery of the Deliverable, ViewRay shall, following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above. If MSC instead provides a correction plan for such Deliverable, ViewRay shall within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such correction plan either agree to, offer modifications of or reject said correction plan. The parties shall repeat the above process until the earlier of the date that a mutually acceptable correction plan is agreed or thirty (30) Business Days following ViewRay’s notice of rejection. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable correction plan, and do not extend the timeframe for reaching an accepting a mutually acceptable plan, then ViewRay may terminate this Agreement and ViewRay will “return” the Deliverable to MSC and MSC shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the rejected Deliverable, return to ViewRay all sums (if any) paid by ViewRay to MSC for the Deliverable that is the subject of such rejection (but shall not be required to return the funding provided pursuant to Paragraph 1 of Attachment   2 through the date of termination). If the parties do agree upon a correction plan, then MSC shall perform such correction plan and “re-deliver” the Deliverable within the agreed time period. ViewRay shall, following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above. The process specified in this Section 2.3 shall be repeated until the earliest of the date: (i) ViewRay accepts the re-delivered Deliverable; or (ii) ViewRay rejects the Deliverable two (2) times for failure to comply with the Specifications; or (iii) one hundred eighty (180) days elapses from the initial notice of rejection. If the parties are unable to resolve such nonconformity within such time period, then ViewRay may terminate this Agreement and ViewRay may “return” the Deliverable to MSC and MSC shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the rejected Deliverable, return to ViewRay all sums (if any) paid by ViewRay to MSC for the Deliverable that is the subject of such rejection (but shall not be required to return the funding provided pursuant to Paragraph 1 of Attachment   2 through the date of termination.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the Deliverables need not be error-free to have achieved the requirements for ViewRay to make payment of the progress payments (if any) specified in Attachment   2 , but if any Deliverable delivery or redelivery contains errors that individually or in the aggregate adversely affect ViewRay’s ability to use such Deliverable in accordance with

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


the applicable Specifications, ViewRay may rightfully reject such Deliverable delivery or redelivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acceptance will not relieve MSC of its obligation to fix all identified errors in a timely fashion. ViewRay’s obligations to pay for the Deliverables are subject to Acceptance, ViewRay shall have no obligation to pay for Deliverables except to the extent they are the subject of ViewRay’s Acceptance.

(c) ViewRay will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to test each Deliverable as quickly as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of “delivery” of such Deliverable. In the event that ViewRay has not tested a Deliverable within sixty (60) days, then such Deliverable shall be deemed to have been acceptable and accepted by ViewRay.

2.4 Changes . (a) During the Program, ViewRay may request amendments to Attachment   1 to effect changes in the Specifications. If ViewRay wishes to make a change it shall notify MSC of the requested change specifying the change with sufficient details to enable MSC to evaluate it (a “ Change Request ”). Within ten (10) Business Days, or such longer period as may be agreed to between the parties, following the date of MSC’s receipt of a ViewRay Change Request, MSC shall deliver a document that: (i) assesses the impact of the change on the schedule, and (ii) incorporates a description of the requested change and the price therefor (a “ Change Control Document ”).

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following ViewRay’s receipt of a MSC Change Control Document ( “Response Period” ), ViewRay will notify MSC whether or not it accepts the Change Control Document. If ViewRay accepts the Change Control Document, then the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to incorporate such change in accordance with the Change Control Document. If ViewRay notifies MSC not to proceed within the Response Period, then the Change Request shall be deemed withdrawn and MSC shall take no further action in respect of it. If MSC has not received any notice by the expiration of the Response Period, then ViewRay shall be deemed to have advised MSC not to proceed. A separate Change Control Document will be required for each Change Request but a Change request may include multiple changes; and each Change Control Document will become subject to this Agreement when signed by MSC and ViewRay.

(c) MSC may not make any changes in the form, fit, function, design, manufacturing process, manufacturing location or appearance of the Products or the Specifications without ViewRay’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) It is the intent of the parties that the Specifications have been defined broadly enough and with sufficient detail to accomplish ViewRay’s goal for the Product without price increases even if the services are changed pursuant to this Section 2.4; provided that such changes, as documented in a Change Control Document, do not change the scope of the tasks contemplated by the Specifications, as reasonably determined by MSC.

2.5 Success Criteria . If the Product prototypes delivered at the completion of the Program meets the applicable Specifications, then the provisions of Section 3 shall take effect. If the Product prototype delivered at the completion of the Program does not meet the Specifications or if ViewRay and MSC determine during the course of the Program that the results of the Program are unsatisfactory; which determination shall be made with reference to the prospects for

realizing Products that meet the Specifications then in each case they may mutually agree to terminate the Program under Section 9.2(b). If the parties do not agree with respect to termination of the Program, they shall resolve such dispute using the procedure specified in Section 10.2(a)-(b). ViewRay’s notice of Acceptance of the final Deliverables shall confirm the end of the Program and the initiation of the commercial supply arrangements described in Section 3.

2.6 Pricing . Pricing for effort and items delivered under this Section 2 will be as set forth in Attachment   2 .

2.7 Payment . All payments under this Section 2 will be made by check or wire transfer. Payments will be made in US dollars.

The Forecast will cover the 6 months commencing with and including the calendar month in which the first delivery of Products is to occur. After delivery of the initial Forecast, the Forecast will be updated on a monthly basis. During the period prior to the date when ViewRay Product demand (as measured by units of Product received by ViewRay), averages [***] or more Products per month over a [***] period the Forecast shall be non-binding until [***] prior to the forecast shipment date at which time the quantities become binding on ViewRay. Thereafter (the “ Full Production Period ”), the Forecast shall be non-binding until [***] prior to the forecast shipment date at which time the quantities become binding on ViewRay.

3.3 Product Orders . ViewRay will submit to MSC firm written purchase orders (each a “ Purchase Order ”) for the purchase of Products at least sixty (60) days prior to the specified delivery date of the ordered Products. Each Purchase Order will specify the quantity or, if more than one shipment is requested, quantities of Products ordered, the requested delivery date or dates, and ship-to locations. Orders will be placed by ViewRay to MSC by mail or facsimile, or by other means agreed upon by the parties. In the case of conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and either the standard printed terms of any Purchase Order or the standard printed terms of sale of MSC, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

3.11 Changes . (a) The Product Specifications for “commercial” Product supplied pursuant to this Section 3 may be modified or changed only by ViewRay. ViewRay shall use the procedure specified in Section 2.4(a)-(b) to request such modifications or changes, except as modified in this Section 3.11. To the extent that any such modification or change results in an increase or decrease in the cost of manufacturing any Product or requires additional capital investment or other material changes to the manufacturing process, the parties shall jointly examine and mutually agree upon the consequences thereof and shall make an appropriate increase or decrease to the purchase price of such Product arising from such modification or change. In the event that any such change or modification results in the obsolescence of any raw materials, work-in-process, and/or finished materials, the cost of any such obsolescence shall be the sole responsibility of ViewRay to a maximum of material value attributable to open purchase orders and any additional Product in the then current Forecast with planned shipment within (3) months of the change date. At least four (4) weeks prior notice is required for any requested Product Specifications change pursuant to this Section 3.11; provided , however , that if any requested Product Specifications change requires additional regulatory approval(s), the implementation of such requested change shall in no event be required until four (4) weeks after such approval(s) have been obtained. MSC shall not be required to implement any change to the Product Specifications that it reasonably believes will prevent it from being able to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unless such terms are modified.

(b) Tesla shall provide ViewRay in advance of each meeting pursuant to Section 2.2(a) an agenda for such meeting and reasonably-detailed written reports describing the results of the Program, including difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program during the period since their last meeting. It is understood and agreed that neither party may change the Specifications without the consent of the other party using the procedure set forth in Section 2.4.

2.3 Deliverables . (a) Tesla shall deliver each deliverable due under Attachment   1 (each, a “ Deliverable ”) to ViewRay’s Oakwood Village, Ohio facility in accordance with the schedule in Attachment   1 . Prior to shipment ViewRay shall inspect the Deliverable and test such Deliverable against the applicable Specifications which may include installation and imaging with the Deliverable at Tesla’s facility. If ViewRay accepts the Deliverable, ViewRay shall acknowledge its acceptance (“ Acceptance ”) of the Deliverable in writing. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable, ViewRay shall provide Tesla with notice of rejection, including a reasonably specific description of the deficiencies alleged. Tesla will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure any such deficiencies in an expedient manner and either “re-deliver” such Deliverable to ViewRay within ten (10) Business Days following the notice of rejection or, if Tesla cannot accomplish such re-delivery within such 10-Business Day period deliver to ViewRay within such 10-Business Day period a plan for curing said deficiencies. If Tesla makes re-delivery of the Deliverable, ViewRay shall, following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above. If Tesla instead provides a correction plan for such Deliverable, ViewRay shall within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such correction plan either agree to, offer modifications of or reject said correction plan. The parties shall repeat the above process until the earlier of the date that a mutually acceptable correction plan is agreed or thirty (30) Business Days following ViewRay’s notice of rejection. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable correction plan, and do not extend the timeframe for reaching an accepting a mutually acceptable plan, then ViewRay may terminate this Agreement and ViewRay will “return” the Deliverable to Tesla and Tesla shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the rejected Deliverable, return to ViewRay all sums (if any) paid by ViewRay to Tesla for the Deliverable that is the subject of such rejection (but shall not be required to return the funding provided pursuant to Paragraph 1 of Attachment   2 through the date of termination). If the parties do agree upon a correction plan, then Tesla shall perform such correction plan and “re-deliver” the Deliverable within the agreed time period. ViewRay shall, following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above.

(d) Any recovery of damages in any suit handled by one party pursuant to Section 5.4(b) or Section 5.4(c) shall be applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of the party handling the suit or settlement thereof. The balance of any recovery obtained by settlement or otherwise shall be distributed: (i) first to ViewRay in an amount equal to a reasonable royalty on the sales of the infringer, and (ii) then to Tesla in an amount equal to the sums due Tesla based on such sales (assuming Tesla had made sales of Products to ViewRay in respect of the sales of the infringer).

2. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

2.1 Development of Products. (a) During the term of this Agreement, ViewRay may from time to time seek services from PEKO with respect to the development of certain Products that can be incorporated into the ViewRay Renaissance™ MRI-guided radiation therapy system. For each Program to be undertaken by PEKO pursuant to this Agreement, the parties will prepare a “ Work Statement ” and agree to said “Work Statement” in substantially the form attached as Attachment   1 . Each Work Statement will describe: (i) the (i) services that PEKO will be responsible for providing to ViewRay and the deliverables that PEKO will be responsible for delivering to ViewRay (“ Deliverable(s) ”), (ii) delivery schedule for the Deliverables, (iii) pricing terms, (iv) work plan for the Program, and (v) ViewRay’s responsibilities in connection with the Program. Each Work Statement will be prepared based upon the requirements and information provided to PEKO by ViewRay. A separate Work Statement will be required for each Program; and each Work Statement will become subject to this Agreement only when mutually agreed and signed by ViewRay and PEKO.

2.2 Progress Reports; Decisions. (a) To the extent specified in the Work Statement for a Program, PEKO will periodically furnish ViewRay with written reports describing the progress made in providing services under such Work Statement. To the extent specified in the Work Statement for a Program, ViewRay and PEKO shall periodically meet, in person or by telephone or videoconference at such times and places as are mutually agreed upon, for PEKO to provide

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


ViewRay with an update on the status of the progress of the Program. ViewRay and PEKO shall each be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with attending such meetings. The parties’ representatives for purposes of meetings under this Section 2.2 will be PEKO’s VP, Systems Division or closest equivalent existing at the time, and ViewRay’s Director of MRI Engineering, or closest equivalent existing at the time.

(b) PEKO shall provide ViewRay in advance of each meeting pursuant to Section 2.2(a) an agenda for such meeting and reasonably-detailed written reports describing the results of the Program, including difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program during the period since their last meeting. It is understood and agreed that neither party may change the Specifications without the consent of the other party using the procedure set forth in Section 2.3.

(c) PEKO may from time to time notify ViewRay that PEKO requires approvals or other actions by ViewRay relating to the services that do not represent a change in the terms of the Work Statement (each, a “ Decision Request ”) using the form attached as Attachment   3 . ViewRay shall respond to each Decision Request notice within the period of time specified in the Decision Request notice (not to be less than three (3) Business Days nor more than five (5) Business Days). In the event ViewRay does not deliver to PEKO a written response to the Decision Request within the period specified in the Decision Request notice, PEKO shall be entitled to act as if ViewRay had responded by not approving the action contemplated by the Decision Request. Any change from an approved Decision Request shall be subject to the procedures specified in Section 2.3. A Decision Request may not be used to materially change the services that are the subject of a Work Statement, instead a Change Request must be used and such Change Request shall be subject to the procedures specified in Section 2.3.

2.3 Changes. (a) During a Program, ViewRay may request amendments to the Work Statement to effect changes in the Specifications for the Deliverables or in the schedule for the Deliverables. If ViewRay wishes to make a change it shall notify PEKO in writing of the requested change specifying the change with sufficient details to enable PEKO to evaluate it (each, a “ Change Request ”); Change Requests shall be in the form attached as Attachment   4 . Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of PEKO’s receipt of a ViewRay Change Request, PEKO shall deliver a document that: (i) assesses the impact of the change on the total cost of the PEKO’s services and the schedule, and (ii) incorporates a description of the requested change and its cost (each, a “ Change Control Document ”).

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following ViewRay’s receipt of a PEKO Change Control Document (“ Response Period ”), ViewRay will notify PEKO whether or not it accepts the Change Control Document. If ViewRay accepts the Change Control Document, then the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to incorporate such change in accordance with the Change Control Document. The price stated in the Change Control Document shall be deemed an increase (or decrease) in the charges specified in the then applicable Work Statement. If ViewRay notifies PEKO not to proceed within the Response Period, then the Change Request shall be deemed withdrawn and PEKO shall take no further action in respect of it. If PEKO has not received any notice by the expiration of the Response Period, then ViewRay shall be deemed to have advised PEKO not to proceed. A separate Change Control Document will be required for each Change Request but a Change request may include multiple changes; and each Change Control Document will become subject to this Agreement when signed by PEKO and ViewRay.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


(c) PEKO may not make any changes in the form, fit, function, design, manufacturing process, manufacturing location or appearance of the Products or the Specifications without ViewRay’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. PEKO may recommend amendments to a Work Statement to effect changes in the Specifications if necessary to respond to difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program. If PEKO wishes to recommend a Change Request, it shall notify ViewRay of the requested change and provide ViewRay with a Change Control Document and the provisions of Section 2.3(a)-(b) shall apply.

(d) It is the intent of the parties that the Specifications have been defined broadly enough and with sufficient detail to accomplish ViewRay’s goal for the Product without price increases even if the services are changed pursuant to this Section 2.3; provided that such changes, as documented in a Change Control Document, do not change the scope of the tasks contemplated by the Specifications.

2.4 Deliverables. (a) PEKO shall deliver each Deliverable due under a Work Statement to ViewRay’s Oakwood Village, Ohio facility in accordance with the schedule in the applicable Work Statement. Prior to shipment PEKO will perform mutually agreed to testing required by the applicable Product Specifications and deliver to ViewRay a report on the test results including any non-conformities. ViewRay will review the test results and within five (5) Business Days from delivery of said test report either approve the Deliverable for shipment to such location as designated by ViewRay or indicate any nonconformities by providing measurable data that must be addressed prior to shipment. After receipt at the location designated by ViewRay, ViewRay shall inspect the Deliverable and test such Deliverable against the Specifications set forth in the Work Statement. If ViewRay accepts the Deliverable, ViewRay shall acknowledge its acceptance (“ Acceptance ”) of the Deliverable by executing a Deliverable acceptance certificate in the form attached as Attachment   4 within the time period specified in the applicable Work Statement. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable, ViewRay shall provide PEKO with notice of rejection, including a reasonably specific description of the deficiencies alleged which shall include measurable data. PEKO will have the time period specified in the applicable Work Statement following its receipt of ViewRay’s notice of rejection in which to cure any such deficiencies and either “re-deliver” such Deliverable to ViewRay or, if PEKO cannot accomplish such re-delivery within such period deliver to ViewRay within such period a plan for curing said deficiencies. If PEKO makes re-delivery of the Deliverable, ViewRay shall have the period of time specified in the applicable Work Statement following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, in which to accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above. If PEKO instead provides a correction plan for such Deliverable, ViewRay shall within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such correction plan either agree to, offer modifications of or reject said correction plan.

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


such claim is based upon the combination, operation or use of the Products with ViewRay technology or products in a manner not explicitly contemplated by this Agreement, if such claim of infringement would have been avoided but for such combination, operation or use; or (b) any third party allegation of product liability or personal injury arising from or relating to the ViewRay products or services (other than due to the failure of a Product).

Each party shall provide the other with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance or self-insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other party hereunder.

AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Joint Development and Supply Agreement (this “Agreement” ) is entered into as of April __, 2008 (the Effective Date ) by and between ViewRay Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ( “ViewRay” ), and 3D Line GmbH, a German corporation ( “3D Line” ).

Background

3D Line is in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling multi-leaf collimators ( MLC’s ). ViewRay is in the business of developing and ultimately commercializing radiotherapy devices.

ViewRay wishes to retain 3D Line to develop a 60-Leaf MLC for integration into the radiotherapy system ViewRay is developing which system is being designed to embody real time MRI imaging to facilitate the tracking of tumors as well as the position of vital organs during radiation therapy procedures and radiation therapy planning procedures (the “ViewRay System” ). If 3D Line develops a MLC that meets the specifications established by ViewRay, then ViewRay also wishes to purchase from 3D Line quantities of such MLC’s on an exclusive basis.

ViewRay Incorporated, a Florida corporation that was merged into ViewRay in connection with a venture capital financing that closed on January 8, 2008, and 3D Line entered into the certain Joint Development and Manufacturing Agreement as of November 13, 2007 (the “2007 Agreement” ). At the time of the venture capital financing the investors in ViewRay were not made aware of the existence such Joint Development and Manufacturing Agreement. Accordingly, ViewRay wishes to amend and restate the November 13, 2007 agreement to address certain matters not covered by the 2007 Agreement and to provide each party with additional clarity regarding their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. 3D Line is also willing to amend and restate the 2007 Agreement to clarify such matters.

2. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

2.1 Development of 60-Leaf MLCs . (a) 3D Line will perform a development program (the “Program” ) directed toward the development of 60-Leaf MLCs that meet the Specifications (including the documents referenced therein). The Program will be performed in two iterations with 3D Line delivering to Viewray: (i) within six (6) months after the Effective Date, complete design plans for the 60-Leaf MLCs that are suitable for manufacturing 60-Leaf MLCs that conform to the Specifications; (ii) within nine (9) months after the Effective Date, a 60-Leaf MLC mechanical model that conforms to the Specifications; (iii) within two (2) months after ViewRay makes the payment under Section 2.2(b) “final” design plans for the 60-Leaf MLCs that conform to the Specifications that include detailed engineering and fabrication information sufficient to enable commercial scale manufacture; and (iv) within three (3) months after Viewray makes the payment under Section 2.2(c) three (3) 60-Leaf MLCs that conform to the Specifications (each, a “Deliverable” ).

(b) After delivery of each Deliverable, ViewRay shall inspect the Deliverable and test such Deliverable against the Specifications. If ViewRay accepts the Deliverable, ViewRay shall acknowledge its acceptance ( “Acceptance” ) of the Deliverable in writing. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable, ViewRay shall provide 3D Line with notice of rejection, including a reasonably specific description of the failure alleged. 3D Line will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure any such deficiencies within ten (10) Business Days and redeliver such Deliverable to ViewRay. ViewRay shall have ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the redelivered Deliverable in which to accept or reject the Deliverable. The parties shall repeat the above process until the earlier of the date the Deliverable complies with the applicable Specifications or until ViewRay has rejected the Deliverable three (3) times. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable for failure to comply with the Specifications three (3) times, then the parties shall confer and agree upon a “final” plan to resolve the nonconformity with the Specifications. If the parties are unable to resolve such nonconformity in accordance with such plan within the time period established as part of the plan then ViewRay may terminate this Agreement and ViewRay may return the Deliverable to 3D Line and 3D Line shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the rejected Deliverable, return to ViewRay all sums (if any) paid by ViewRay to 3D Line for the Deliverable that is the subject of such rejection (but shall not be required to return the funding provided pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i)).

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


(c) It is understood and agreed that the Deliverables need not be error-free to have achieved the requirements for ViewRay to make payment of the milestones specified in Attachment   2 , but if any Deliverable delivery or redelivery contains errors that individually or in the aggregate adversely affect ViewRay’s ability to use such Deliverable in accordance with the Specifications, ViewRay may rightfully reject such Deliverable delivery or redelivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acceptance will not relieve 3D Line of its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to fix all identified errors in a timely fashion. ViewRay’s obligations to pay for the Deliverables are subject to Acceptance, ViewRay shall have no obligation to pay for Deliverables except to the extent they are the subject of ViewRay’s Acceptance.

2.2 Development Funding . (a) Viewray will pay 3D Line the then U.S. Dollar equivalent of €[***] within three (3) days of the Effective Date for the engineering services required to develop/ deliver the Deliverable described in Section 2.1(a)(i).

(c) Not later than the date ViewRay Accepts the Section 2.1(a)(ii) Deliverable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to mutually agree upon the price for the 60-Leaf MLCs to be supplied to ViewRay pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv) and not later than the date ViewRay Accepts the Section 2.1(a)(iii) Deliverable, the parties shall mutually agree upon the price for the 60-Leaf MLCs to be supplied to ViewRay pursuant to Section 2.5, which pricing shall provide that the cost of such Section 2.1(a)(iv) Deliverables will be adjusted accordingly if the [***]. If the parties are unable to agree upon such pricing then they shall fix such pricing at 3D Line’s Cost of Goods Sold [***]. “3D Line’s Cost of Goods Sold” shall mean the [***] (it being understood that the cost of [***]), [***] (including [***] 60-Leaf MLCs) plus [***] allocated to the 60-Leaf MLCs in accordance with [***]. The fully-allocated cost of manufacturing shall not include [***] (that 3D Line or any third party may have) or [***] including, by way of example only, [***].

2.3 Progress Reports . (a) ViewRay and 3D Line shall periodically meet, in person or by telephone or videoconference at such times and places as are mutually agreed upon, for 3D Line to provide ViewRay with an update on the status of the progress of the Program. ViewRay and 3D Line shall each be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with attending such meetings. The parties’ representatives for purposes of meetings under this Section 2.2 will be 3D Line’s Chief Executive Officer, or closest equivalent existing at the time, and ViewRay’s Chief Executive Officer, or closest equivalent existing at the time.

(b) 3D Line shall provide ViewRay in advance of each meeting pursuant to Section 2.2(a) an agenda for such meeting and reasonably-detailed written reports describing the results of the Program, including difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program during the period since their last meeting.

If ViewRay wishes to make a change it shall notify 3D Line of the requested change specifying the change with sufficient details to enable 3D Line to evaluate it (a “Change Request” ). Within five (5) Business Days following the date of 3D Line’s receipt of a ViewRay Change Request, 3D Line shall deliver a document that: (i) assesses the impact of the change on the schedule, and (ii) incorporates a description of the requested change and the cost therefor if the Change Request would require a material increase in the manpower, capital equipment or other resources of 3D Line that is not contemplated by the then most recent Specifications (a “Change Control Document” ).

(b) Within the time frame specified in the Change Control Document ( “Response Period” ), ViewRay will notify 3D Line whether or not it accepts the Change Control Document. If ViewRay accepts the Change Control Document, then the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to incorporate such change in accordance with the Change Control Document. If ViewRay notifies 3D Line not to proceed within the Response Period, then the Change Request shall be deemed withdrawn and 3D Line shall take no further action in respect of it. If 3D Line has not received any notice by the expiration of the Response Period, then ViewRay shall be deemed to have advised 3D Line not to proceed.

(c) 3D Line may request amendments to Attachment   1 to effect changes in the Specifications if necessary to respond to difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program. If 3D Line wishes to make a Change Request, it shall notify ViewRay of the requested change and provide ViewRay with a Change Control Document and the provisions of Section 2.4(a)-(b) shall apply.

2.5 Success Criteria; Commercial Supply . (a) If the 60-Leaf MLCs delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv) conform to the Specifications and are the subject of ViewRay Acceptance, then (i) ViewRay shall purchase its initial [***] 60-Leaf MLCs from 3D Line and (ii) for a period of five (5) years from the date ViewRay takes delivery of [***] 60-Leaf MLCs from 3D Line, ViewRay will provide 3D Line with a right of first offer to supply ViewRay’s requirements for 60-Leaf MLCs on the terms and conditions to be set forth in a Supply Agreement to be negotiated, executed and delivered by the parties after the Effective Date (the Supply Agreement ). Attached hereto as Attachment   2 is a term sheet that sets forth certain of the terms that the parties have agreed will be incorporated into the Supply Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by the parties of the Supply Agreement, the Supply Agreement shall supersede all of the terms and provisions of Attachment   2 .

(b) If the 60-Leaf MLCs delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) do not conform to the Specifications or if ViewRay and 3D Line determine during the course of the Program that the results of the Program are unsatisfactory; which determination shall be made with reference to the prospects for realizing 60-Leaf MLCs that meet the Specifications then in each case they may mutually agree to terminate the Program under Section 9.2(b). If the parties do not agree with respect to termination of the Program, they shall resolve such dispute using the procedure specified in Section 10.2(a)-(b).

(b) 3D Line will allow representatives of the FDA or any other applicable Regulatory Authority to tour and inspect or audit the facilities utilized by 3D Line in the manufacture of such 60-Leaf MLCs and will cooperate with such representatives in all reasonable respects. 3D Line will promptly provide ViewRay notice of all inspections of 3D Line’s facilities by inspectors of the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority reasonably related to 3D Line’s performance under this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement and will permit ViewRay to attend such inspections unless otherwise restricted by the FDA or other Regulatory Authority, or applicable law. 3D Line will provide ViewRay with copies of any FDA Form 483 notices of adverse findings, regulatory letters or similar writings it receives from any Regulatory Authority setting forth adverse findings or non-compliance with applicable laws, regulations or standards relating to the 60-Leaf MLCs supplied by 3D Line hereunder as soon as is reasonably practicable following receipt thereof but in all events within five (5) days following its receipt thereof unless a shorter time period is specified for the provision of such notice under applicable law, and of 3D Line’s written response to such Regulatory Authority as soon as is reasonably practicable following the submission thereof but in all events within five (5) days following its submission thereof unless a shorter time period is specified for the provision thereof under applicable law.

(c) If an inspection pursuant to Section 3.3(a) reveals that the facilities used to manufacture 60-Leaf MLCs do not satisfy the requirements above in all material respects, then ViewRay will promptly provide to 3D Line written notice of such fact, which notice will contain in reasonable detail the deficiencies found in the manufacturing facilities and, if practicable, those steps ViewRay believes 3D Line should undertake in order to remedy such deficiencies. 3D Line will remedy such deficiencies within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such written notice.

(d) 3D Line will maintain manufacturing quality documentation, including records of 3D Line’s 60-Leaf MLC tests in accordance with the applicable regulations of the applicable Regulatory Authorities. 3D Line will certify that 60-Leaf MLCs supplied to ViewRay under this Agreement were manufactured and tested in accordance with applicable Specifications and regulatory requirements. ViewRay may request copies of such certification documents as part of the inspections permitted under Section 3.3(a) to the extent that they relate to the 60-Leaf MLCs incorporated into ViewRay Systems.

If either party becomes aware of information about any 60-Leaf MLC indicating that it may not conform to the applicable Specifications, or that there are potential issues regarding safety or accuracy of results of 60-Leaf MLC, it will promptly so notify the other party. The parties will promptly confer to discuss such circumstances and to consider appropriate courses of action, which courses of action will be consistent with the SOPs. ViewRay will have the right to initiate, and will bear all costs associated with, a recall, withdrawal, or field correction of the 60-Leaf MLC for any reason, whether or not requested or ordered by any Regulatory Authority; provided that ViewRay may proceed against 3D Line pursuant to Section 6.3 if such recall, withdrawal, or field correction of the 60-Leaf MLC is the direct result of (i) any breach by 3D Line of its duties under the Agreement or (ii) 3D Line’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) With respect to any recall, withdrawal, or field correction of a 60-Leaf MLCs incorporated into a ViewRay System, including 60-Leaf MLCs delivered for incorporation into such systems, ViewRay or its designee will make all contacts with the FDA and other Regulatory Authorities, and will be responsible for coordinating all of the necessary activities in connection with such recall, withdrawal, or field correction. ViewRay and 3D Line will coordinate any statements to customers and the media, including, but not limited to, press releases and interviews for publication or broadcast except as otherwise required by applicable law to assure patient safety, and neither party will issue any such statements without consulting with the other. The parties will reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of such activities and will perform any acts reasonably requested by the other party to facilitate the recall, withdrawal or field correction. Each party will keep the other party informed of progress and in relation to all material decisions or actions such party undertakes pursuant to this Section 3.4(b).

(c) Each party will promptly (within 2 working days) notify the other party in writing of any event or complaint that gives rise or could give rise to the need to file a Medical Device Report (an “MDR” ) within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1941, as amended (the “Act” ) or similar adverse event report under the laws or regulations administered by any Regulatory Authority (collectively, an “AER” ), with respect to any 60-Leaf MLC or the manufacture, distribution or use thereof in accordance with the MDR regulation, 21 C.F.R. Part 803 or similar regulations covering AER’s. Each such written notice will be Confidential

the breach and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure the breach. Except for termination by 3D Line based upon non-payment by ViewRay of amounts due under this Agreement for which 3D Line may terminate the Program or this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days notice unless such nonpayment breach is cured within such 15-day period, termination of the Program pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) shall not result in termination of this Agreement except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2(c).

8.4 Survival . Sections 1, 2.1, 4-7, 8.3(and the Sections of this Agreement referenced therein), 8.4 and 9 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

9.1 Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal, substantive laws of New York, to the exclusion of any choice or conflict of laws rule or provision that would result in the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

9.2 Dispute Resolution . (a) Any claim, controversy, action, cause of action, suit, or litigation ( “Action” ) between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, which claim would, but for this Section 9.2(a), be submitted to arbitration under Section 9.2(b) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.2(b), will, before such submission to arbitration, first be escalated to the Chief Executive Officer of 3D Line and the Chief Executive Officer of ViewRay for resolution. They will use reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations by telephone or in person as may be agreed and if they fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after either party notifies the other of the dispute, and do not mutually agree to extend the time for negotiation, then the dispute will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 9.2(b).

(b) Except with respect to Actions by either party seeking equitable or declaratory relief , any Action arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof that is not resolved pursuant to Section 9.2(a) will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules” ) as such Rules may be modified by this Agreement, by one arbitrator, who will be agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the date arbitration is demanded, three arbitrators will be used, one selected by each party within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the 30-day period and a third selected by the first two within 10 days thereafter. Unless the parties agree otherwise, they will be limited in their discovery to directly relevant documents. Responses or objections to a document request will be served twenty (20) days after receipt of the request. The arbitrator(s) will resolve any discovery disputes. Arbitration proceedings may be commenced by either party by notice to the other party. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all such arbitration proceedings will be held in [London], England, provided that proceedings may be conducted by telephone conference call with the consent of the parties and the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) will apply the law of New York. The arbitrator(s) will only have the authority to award actual money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due) and, except with respect to a breach or nonperformance of any provision of this Agreement relating to Confidential Information, the arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages, and the parties expressly waive any claimed right to such damages. The arbitrator(s) also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief the arbitrators deem just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including an injunction or order for specific performance.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator(s). The arbitration will be of each party’s individual claims only, and no claim of any other party will be subject to arbitration in such proceeding. The costs and expenses of the arbitration, but not the costs and expenses of the parties, will be shared equally by the parties. If a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitration award, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, the other party is entitled to costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award. Except as otherwise required by law, the parties and the arbitrator(s) will maintain as confidential all information or documents obtained during the arbitration process, including the resolution of the dispute. Judgment on the award granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the parties or any of their respective assets. The parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have their dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge and jury except as expressly provided herein.

(c) Nothing in this Section 9.2 will prevent a party from resorting to judicial proceedings if: (i) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to such party; or (ii) litigation is required to be filed prior to the running of the applicable statute of limitations. The use of any alternative dispute resolution procedure will not be construed under the doctrine of latches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either party.

9.3 Amendment and Waiver . No provision of or right under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of either party, its agents or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized officer of each party. No waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement by the other party shall be effective as to any other breach, whether of the same or any other term or condition and whether occurring before or after the date of such waiver.

9.4 Independent Contractors . Each party represents that it is acting on its own behalf as an independent contractor and is not acting as an agent for or on behalf of any third party. This Agreement and the relations hereby established by and between ViewRay and 3D Line do not constitute a partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency or contract of employment.

2. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

2.1 Development of Product . The Program is directed toward the development of a series of Products that each meet the applicable Specifications set forth in Section A of Attachment   1 (including the documents referenced therein) and is expected to have a duration of twenty (24) months. It is understood and agreed that QED will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the Program and deliver a Product that meets the applicable Specifications; delivering a detailed design for each of the Products that satisfies the Specifications detailed in Section A of Attachment   1 and will deliver a prototype of said Product in accordance with the schedule in Section B of Attachment   1 . Attachment   1 specifies information to be delivered to QED by ViewRay in order for QED to progress the Program and the dates by which such information will be delivered by ViewRay. QED shall not be responsible for Program delays resulting from delay by ViewRay in delivering information necessary to progress the Program and accordingly a day-for-day adjustment to the schedule set forth in Attachment   1 shall be made for any such delay by ViewRay.

2.2 Progress Reports . (a) ViewRay and QED shall periodically meet, in person or by telephone or videoconference at such times and places as are mutually agreed upon, for QED to provide ViewRay with an update on the status of the progress of the Program. ViewRay and QED shall each be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with attending such meetings. The parties’ representatives for purposes of meetings under this Section 2.2 will be QED’s Program Manager, or closest equivalent existing at the time, and ViewRay’s Director of MRI Engineering, or closest equivalent existing at the time.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


(b) QED shall provide ViewRay in advance of each meeting pursuant to Section 2.2(a) an agenda for such meeting and reasonably-detailed written reports describing the results of the Program, including difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program during the period since their last meeting. It is understood and agreed that neither party may change the Specifications without the consent of the other party using the procedure set forth in Section 2.4.

2.3 Deliverables . (a) QED shall deliver each deliverable due under Attachment   1 (each, a “Deliverable”) to ViewRay’s Oakwood Village, Ohio facility in accordance with the schedule in Section B of Attachment   1 . Prior to shipment QED will perform bench testing to mutually agreed specifications and with mutually agreed testing protocols and deliver to ViewRay a report on the test results including any non-conformances. ViewRay will review the test results and within five (5) working days from delivery of said report will either approve the Deliverable for shipment to such location as designated by ViewRay or will indicate any and all areas of testing non-conformance which must be addressed prior to shipment. After receipt at the location designated by ViewRay, ViewRay shall inspect the Deliverable and test such Deliverable against the applicable Specifications. If ViewRay accepts the Deliverable, ViewRay shall acknowledge its acceptance (“ Acceptance ”) of the Deliverable in writing. If ViewRay rejects the Deliverable, ViewRay shall provide QED with notice of rejection, including a reasonably specific description of the deficiencies alleged. QED will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure any such deficiencies in an expedient manner and either “re-deliver” such Deliverable to ViewRay within ten (10) Business Days following the notice of rejection or, if QED cannot accomplish such re-delivery within such 10-Business Day period deliver to ViewRay within such 10-Business Day period a plan for curing said deficiencies. If QED makes re-delivery of the Deliverable, ViewRay shall, following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above. If QED instead provides a correction plan for such Deliverable, ViewRay shall within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such correction plan either agree to, offer modifications of or reject said correction plan. The parties shall repeat the above process until the earlier of the date that a mutually acceptable correction plan is agreed or thirty (30) Business Days following ViewRay’s notice of rejection. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable correction plan, and do not extend the timeframe for reaching an accepting a mutually acceptable plan, then ViewRay may withdraw the specific Product in question from this Agreement and ViewRay will “return” the Deliverable to QED and QED shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the rejected Deliverable, return to ViewRay all sums (if any) paid by ViewRay to QED for the Deliverable that is the subject of such rejection; provided , that QED shall not be required to return the funding specified in Column 3 of Table 6 of Section D of Attachment   1 for such Deliverable through the date of withdrawal of the Product in question from the contract). If the parties do agree upon a correction plan, then QED shall perform such correction plan and “re-deliver” the Deliverable within the agreed time period. ViewRay shall, following its receipt of the re-delivered Deliverable, accept or reject the Deliverable using the procedure specified above. The process specified in this Section 2.3 shall be repeated until the earliest of the date: (i) ViewRay accepts the re-delivered Deliverable; or (ii) ViewRay rejects the Deliverable two (2) times for failure to comply with the Specifications; or (iii) one hundred eighty (180) days elapses from the initial notice of rejection. If the parties are unable to resolve such nonconformity within such time period, then ViewRay may withdraw the applicable Product from coverage under this Agreement

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


and ViewRay may “return” the Deliverable to QED and QED shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the rejected Deliverable, return to ViewRay all sums (if any) paid by ViewRay to QED for the Deliverable that is the subject of such rejection; provided , that QED shall not be required to return the funding specified in Column 3 of Table 6 of Section D of Attachment   1 for such Deliverable through the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt all inspection, testing and final Acceptance of the Deliverables by ViewRay shall occur at ViewRay’s Oakwood Village facility.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the Deliverables need not be error-free to have achieved the requirements for ViewRay to make payment of the progress payments (if any) specified in Attachment   1 , but if any Deliverable delivery or redelivery contains errors that individually or in the aggregate adversely affect ViewRay’s ability to use such Deliverable in accordance with the applicable Specifications, ViewRay may rightfully reject such Deliverable delivery or redelivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acceptance will not relieve QED of its obligation to fix all identified errors in a timely fashion. ViewRay’s obligations to pay for the Deliverables are subject to Acceptance, ViewRay shall have no obligation to pay for Deliverables except to the extent they are the subject of ViewRay’s Acceptance.

(c) ViewRay will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to test each Deliverable as quickly as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of “delivery” of such Deliverable.

2.4 Changes . (a) During the Program, ViewRay may request amendments to Attachment   1 to effect changes in the Specifications. If ViewRay wishes to make a change it shall notify QED of the requested change specifying the change with sufficient details to enable QED to evaluate it (a “ Change Request ”). Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of QED’s receipt of a ViewRay Change Request, QED shall deliver a document that: (i) assesses the impact of the change on the schedule, and (ii) incorporates a description of the requested change and the cost therefor (a “ Change Control Document ”).

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following ViewRay’s receipt of a QED Change Control Document (“ Response Period ”), ViewRay will notify QED whether or not it accepts the Change Control Document. If ViewRay accepts the Change Control Document, then the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to incorporate such change in accordance with the Change Control Document. If ViewRay notifies QED not to proceed within the Response Period, then the Change Request shall be deemed withdrawn and QED shall take no further action in respect of it. If QED has not received any notice by the expiration of the Response Period, then ViewRay shall be deemed to have advised QED not to proceed. A separate Change Control Document will be required for each Change Request but a Change request may include multiple changes; and each Change Control Document will become subject to this Agreement when signed by QED and ViewRay.

(c) QED may not make any changes in the form, fit, function, design, manufacturing process, manufacturing location or appearance of the Products or the Specifications without ViewRay’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. QED may recommend amendments to Attachment   1 to effect changes in the Specifications if necessary to respond to difficulties encountered in achieving the technical objectives of the Program. If QED wishes to recommend a Change Request, it shall notify ViewRay of the requested change and provide ViewRay with a Change Control Document and the provisions of Section 2.4(a)-(b) shall apply.

2.5 Success Criteria . If the Product prototype delivered in Phase 2 of the Program meets the applicable Specifications, then the provisions of Section 3 shall take effect as it applies to the specific product delivered. If the Product prototype delivered in Phase 2 of the Program does not meet the Specifications or if ViewRay and QED determine during the course of the Program that the results of the Program are unsatisfactory; which determination shall be made with reference to the prospects for realizing Products that meet the Specifications then in each case they may mutually agree to remove the specific Product from the Program. If all the products are removed then the parties may mutually agree to terminate the Program under Section 9.2(b). If the parties do not agree with respect to removal of a Product or termination of the Program, they shall resolve such dispute using the procedure specified in Section 10.2(a)-(b).

3.11 Changes . (a) The Product Specifications for “commercial” Product supplied pursuant to this Section 3 may be modified or changed only by ViewRay. ViewRay shall use the procedure specified in Section 2.4(a)-(b) to request such modifications or changes, except as modified in this Section 3.11. To the extent that any such modification or change results in an increase or decrease in the cost of manufacturing any Product or requires additional capital investment or other material changes to the manufacturing process, the parties shall jointly examine and mutually agree upon the consequences thereof and shall make an appropriate increase or decrease to the purchase price of such Product arising from such modification or change. In the event that any such change or modification results in the obsolescence of any raw materials, work-in-process, and/or finished materials, the cost of any such obsolescence shall be the sole responsibility of ViewRay to a maximum of material value attributable to open purchase orders and any additional Product in the then current Forecast with planned shipment within ninety (90) days of the change date. At least four (4) weeks prior notice is required for any requested Product Specifications change pursuant to this Section 3.11; provided, however, that if any requested Product Specifications change requires additional regulatory approval(s), the implementation of such requested change shall in no event be required until four (4) weeks after such approval(s) have been obtained. QED shall not be required to implement any change to the Product Specifications that it reasonably believes will prevent it from being able to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unless such terms are modified. If QED notifies ViewRay that it believes the preceding sentence is applicable the parties shall meet and attempt to resolve the matter within ninety (90) days using the procedure specified in Section 10.2 if necessary; during any such period the Product will continue to be manufactured under the Product Specifications without such modification. If the parties are unable to resolve such matter within such 90-day period, then QED shall continue to supply the Product to ViewRay under the Product Specifications without such modification.

(b) QED will not alter, modify, add to, or otherwise change the Product Specifications, Product, or any materials, suppliers or manufacturing techniques used in the design or production of the Products that will or may possibly affect the form, fit or function of the Products without ViewRay’s prior written approval.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

10.1 Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal, substantive laws of Ohio, to the exclusion of any choice or conflict of laws rule or provision that would result in the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.2 Dispute Resolution . (a) The parties will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof through consultation and negotiation in good faith in a spirit of mutual cooperation. Such matters will be initially addressed by the Manager of Hardware Development of ViewRay and the Manager of Operations of QED, who shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations by telephone or in person as may be agreed. If they fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after either party notifies the other of the dispute, then the matter will be escalated to the Senior Vice President of Engineering of ViewRay and the Vice President of Operations of QED, or their designees for resolution. They will use reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations by telephone or in person as may be agreed. If they fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after it is referred to them and do not mutually agree to extend the time for negotiation, then the dispute will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 10.2(b).

(b) Except with respect to actions by either party seeking equitable or declaratory relief, any claim or controversy arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof that is not resolved pursuant to Section 10.2(a) will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “ Rules ”) of the American Arbitration Association as such Rules may be modified by this Agreement, by one arbitrator, who will be agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the date arbitration is demanded, three arbitrators will be used, one selected by each party within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the 30-day period and a third selected by the first two within 10 days thereafter. Unless the parties agree otherwise, they will be limited in their discovery to directly relevant documents. Responses or objections to a document request will be served twenty (20) days after receipt of the request. The arbitrator(s) will resolve any discovery disputes. The foregoing arbitration proceedings may be commenced by either party by notice to the other party. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all such arbitration proceedings will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, USA; provided that proceedings may be conducted by telephone conference call with the consent of the arbitrator. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language and the arbitrator(s) will apply the law of Ohio. The arbitrator(s) will only have the authority to award actual money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due) and, except with respect to a breach or nonperformance of any provision of this Agreement relating to Confidential Information, the arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages, and the parties expressly

waive any claimed right to such damages. The arbitrator(s) also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief the arbitrators deem just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including an injunction or order for specific performance. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator(s). The arbitration will be of each party’s individual claims only, and no claim of any other party will be subject to arbitration in such proceeding. The costs and expenses of the arbitration, but not the costs and expenses of the parties, will be shared equally by the parties. If a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitration award, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, the other party is entitled to costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award. Except as otherwise required by law, the parties and the arbitrator(s) will maintain as confidential all information or documents obtained during the arbitration process, including the resolution of the dispute. Judgment on the award granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the parties or any of their respective assets. The parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have their dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge and jury except as expressly provided herein.

(c) Nothing in this Section 10.2 will prevent a party from resorting to judicial proceedings if (i) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to such party; or (ii) litigation is required to be filed prior to the running of the applicable statute of limitations. The use of any alternative dispute resolution procedure will not be construed under the doctrine of latches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either party.

10.3 Amendment and Waiver . No provision of or right under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of either party, its agents or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized officer of each party. No waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement by the other party shall be effective as to any other breach, whether of the same or any other term or condition and whether occurring before or after the date of such waiver.

10.4 Independent Contractors . Each party represents that it is acting on its own behalf as an independent contractor and is not acting as an agent for or on behalf of any third party.

Neither party is granted, and neither party shall exercise, the right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of or in the name of the other party or its Affiliates. Each party shall be solely responsible for compensating all its personnel and for payment of all related FICA, workers’ compensation, unemployment and withholding taxes. Neither party shall provide the other party’s personnel with any benefits, including but not limited to compensation for insurance premiums, paid sick leave or retirement benefits.

10.8 Severability . In the event any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision hereof. The parties agree that they will negotiate in good faith or will permit a court to replace any provision hereof so held invalid, illegal or unenforceable with a valid provision which is as similar as possible in substance to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

10.9 Captions . Captions of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not constitute terms or conditions of this Agreement and shall not limit or affect the meaning or construction of the terms and conditions hereof.

10.10 Word Meanings .

10.14 Force Majeure .

The balance of any amounts which remain unpaid more than thirty (30) days after they are due to UFRF shall accrue interest until paid at the rate of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowed under applicable law. However, in no event shall this interest provision be construed as a grant of permission for any payment delays. Licensee shall also be responsible for repayment to UFRF of any attorney, collection agency, or other out-of-pocket UFRF expenses required to collect overdue payments due from this Section 4.5.1, Section 6.2 or any other applicable section of this Agreement.

Industry Background

Radiation therapy, with a market size approaching two billion dollars annually, is commonly used in the treatment of cancer, either alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. An important advantage of radiation therapy is that the radiation acts with some selectivity on cancer cells. When a cell absorbs radiation, the radiation affects the cell’s genetic structure and inhibits its replication, leading to its gradual death. Cancerous cells replicate very fast and therefore the radiation they absorb can disproportionately damage them.

Currently, the most common type of radiotherapy uses X-rays delivered by a linear accelerator or LINAC . The most prevalent use of LINACs is in intensity modulated radiation therapy or IMRT . Using IMRT, the intensity and angle of the radiation beams are varied or modulated across the target area of the patient being treated. This conforms the radiation beams more closely to the tumor and allows doctors to deliver higher doses of radiation to tumors while limiting the amount of radiation directed at nearby healthy tissue. In this way, clinicians can design and deliver an individualized treatment plan for each patient, targeting the patient’s tumor as closely as possible.

The holy grail of radiation therapy, however, is image guided therapy, referred to as IGRT , wherein real-time visualization and precise treatment of moving and changing tumors (resulting from moving and changing anatomy) is expected to enable greater radiation dosing and accuracy while preserving healthy surrounding tissues. IGRT, however, is a nascent technology that is not yet widely recognized: real time imaging of a patient while dosing with radiation presents monumental engineering challenges.

Those challenges include the gross incompatibility of LINACs and magnetic resonance imaging or MRI , as LINACs cannot function in the extreme magnetic field of an MRI unit. The alternative to MRI—x-ray or CT scanning—while having no affect on LINAC functionality, is currently too slow to provide real-time visualization, and is itself a source of radiation dosing over and beyond that of the radiation treatment. This additional dosing, particularly with the volume of imaging required for real-time, bathes the patient in an entirely unacceptable level of radiation. [***]

LINACs, which are priced in the $2 million a unit range, are sold by Varian Medical Systems, Siemens, Elekta, TomoTherapy, and Nucletron. Varian presently has the largest share of the market (primarily hospitals, clinics, private and governmental institutions, health care agencies and doctors’ offices) with 2003 radiation product sales of $732 million. Varian’s long-term expectations for growth is 10% to 15% annually.

ViewRay

ViewRay is a Florida corporation having offices at the Sun Center in downtown Gainesville. The company has three founding managers: Russ Donda, President and CEO; Jim Dempsey, Ph.D., CSO; and Jim Carnall, Vice President of Operations.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


The company proposes to advance the Technology from its present conceptual state to U.S. market saturation with an FDA approved device (the “Device”) that provides simultaneous radiation treatment and real-time tumor imaging. While the company’s early stage activities will center on R&D, its later efforts are expected to emphasize marketing, service, and education; it anticipates securing an OEM manufacturer to produce the Device. The fundamental milestones of the commercialization plan, in order, are:

 

(1) Complete business plan and STTR grant application    4 th Q 2004
(2) Complete proof-of-concept    4 th Q 2005
(3) Secure design/mfg relationship with OEM manufacturer    2 nd Q 2006
(4) Potential need for VC round    2008
(5) Complete working commercial prototype    2010
(6) Hire industry CEO    2010
(7) FDA 510k approval    2011
(8) Market launch of first generation Device    2011
(9) Market launch of second generation Device    2013

The STTR program announcement NTH PA-04-063 is particularly applicable to the ViewRay project: to support the development and clinical validation of systems for image-guided interventions (IGI) for cancer. Specifically, the goals of this program are to provide support for:

1) The development and optimization of fully integrated cancer imaging, monitoring, and therapy systems;

2) Validation of integrated IGI systems through clinical evaluations;

3) The development of multiple prototype integrated IGI systems as required for multi-site clinical evaluations;

4) Partnerships among small business, large business, and academic clinical centers, as well as small business joint ventures, in order to reach the research goals.

Moreover, STTR funding is up to $150,000 for first year Phase I; a maximum of 3 years of support at budgets of up to $1,000,000 total costs per year for Phase II research that includes clinical evaluation and, as such, would provide ViewRay with more than $3 million over 4 years. Although, as of this date, full details of development costs are unknown, preceding discussions with engineers and others of technical and industry experience indicate capital requirements up to market launch at under $10 million. While an IPO is an option, at this time it appears to not be a necessity.

In addition to support through the STTR and founding management funding (to pay for operating expenses not covered under the STTR), ViewRay is working to secure strategic relationships to assist in the Technology’s development. [***] are underway for the [***] with a [***] A collaboration has been established with [***] Additionally, collaborations have been formed with [***] to assist with the [***]

Although ViewRay will be working toward market saturation as its ultimate objective, it is possible that one or more competitors may find the Device of interest and propose some form of merger or acquisition. Provided that the interested company has the wherewithal and desire to achieve market saturation and pay a fair value for the concern, ViewRay expects to be amenable to discussions.

Management

Chief Executive Officer, Russ Donda, has more than 20 years of experience in executive and entrepreneurial leadership roles. As one of the founding managers of Regeneration Technologies (RTIX) he helped author RTIX’s business plan and played a supporting role in the company’s initial formation and funding, and ultimately in the RTIX IPO. He is well versed in strategic planning and strategic alliance structuring, business acquisitions and mergers, intellectual property development, and has spearheaded the development of novel technologies with multiple market segments. He managed project teams and negotiated final contracts leading to the acquisition of two medical industry companies and established relationships for research with a number of major research universities and hospitals. Mr. Donda is familiar with Federal grant funding and has previously advanced a foray into the NIST Advanced Technology program resulting in a successful award of $3,000,000 over three years for a leading edge, biomedical technology.

Chief Scientific Officer, James Dempsey, Ph.D., is the inventor of the Technology. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Florida. After obtaining his doctorate in nuclear chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis, he transitioned into the field of radiotherapy medical physics. He performed postdoctoral research training in medical physics and graduated from an accredited radiotherapy clinical medical physics residency program at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine before joining the faculty at the University of Florida. Dr. Dempsey is a board certified therapeutic radiological physicist by the American Board of Radiology and holds an affiliate faculty title with the Department of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering. He is a full member of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the American Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology, and the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science. Though early in his career, Dr. Dempsey has already coauthored 57 peer-reviewed manuscripts, 86 published abstracts, and obtained over $1,400,000 dollars of research funding in government, state, and corporate research grants as a principal investigator. Dr. Dempsey will apply his expertise in nuclear chemistry and physics, medical physics, and optimization science to guide the scientific and technical aspects of the development of the Technology.

Vice President of Operations, Jim Carnall, obtained his BSEE in 1978 from Rochester Institute of Technology. Mr. Carnall enjoyed a 20 year career at Eastman Kodak Company from 1978 to 1997. He was promoted to Vice President of Manufacturing for Kodak Health Imaging Systems (“KHIS”) in 1993 where he was responsible for the operations functions in both Rochester, NY and Dallas, TX. KHIS developed and manufactured medical devices used in tele-radiology and computed radiography business. In 1997, Mr. Carnall joined the University of Florida Tissue Bank (UFTB) as Director of Operations. He was hired to develop all functions associated with the production and material management including; production processing, purchasing, inventory control, shipping and receiving, facility management, quality control and external manufacturing operations. Mr. Carnall became the founding Director of Operations for Regeneration Technologies (RTIX) in 1998. During his tenure at UFTB, and through RTIX’s successful IPO in 2000, Mr. Carnall was instrumental in creating a nearly 16-fold increase in production output, resulting in product availability of over $100 million annually.

Stock Restrictions

 

(1) Restrictive Legend.

Each certificate representing (i) the Shares and (ii) any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section (2) below) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws).

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(2) Notice of Proposed Transfers.

The holder of each certificate representing Shares by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section (2). Prior to any proposed sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of Shares, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Licensee of such holder’s intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and shall be accompanied at such holder’s expense by a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Licensee addressed to the Licensee, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. Each certificate evidencing the Shares transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section (1) above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel for such holder and Licensee such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

If requested by any underwriter, each holder shall execute and deliver to such underwriters an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to such underwriter evidencing the obligation described in this Section (3).

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Licensee may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares of each holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

 

(4) Transfer to Competitor.

No holder shall transfer any Shares to a competitor of Licensee, as determined by the Board of Directors of Licensee in good faith. This provision shall terminate after the closing of the sale of Equity Securities of Licensee registers pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

Pursuant to Section 14.4 of the Agreement, Licensee and UFRF wish to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement ( Amendment No. 1 ) effective as of December 6, 2007 (the Amendment Date ) to amend certain provisions of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 and not defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Amendment No. 1, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions . The following sub-sections in Section 1 of the Agreement are modified as follows:

(a) Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“1.1 “Licensed Patents” shall refer to and mean all of the following UFRF intellectual property:

 

  1.1.1 (i) the United States patent(s)/patent application(s) [***] in the [***] , (ii) all divisionals, and continuations of the application identified in clause (i), (iii) United States patents and foreign patents issuing in respect of the application(s) described in clauses (i)-(ii)), and (iv) reissues and reexaminations and extensions of the patents based on the patent(s) described in clause (iii), all to the extent owned or controlled by the University of Florida.”

(b) Section 1.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“1.4 Net Sales” shall mean the amounts collected on the sales of Licensed Product and/or Licensed Processes by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees from the sale or transfer for value of any Licensed Products (in an arms-length transaction) to an independent third party distributor, agent or end user (in each case who is not a Sublicensee) after deducting, if not already deducted in the amount invoiced: (a) offered and taken trade and/or quantity discounts and rebates; (b) credits, refunds and allowances credited or paid to customers for defective, damaged, and returned Licensed Products; (c) outbound transportation costs paid; and (d) sales, excise, value added, turnover, use, and other like taxes, and customs duties, paid, absorbed or allowed excluding net income tax, imposed upon the sale of the Licensed Product or Licensed Process. Net Sales shall not include revenue received by Licensee (or any of its Affiliates) from transactions with an Affiliate, where the Licensed Product or Licensed Process in question will be resold to an independent third-party distributor, agent or end user by the Affiliate (such revenue to be included at the time of such later sale). Revenue received by Licensee (or any of its Affiliates) from transactions with an Affiliate, where the Licensed Product or Licensed Process in question is used by the Affiliate solely for such Affiliate’s internal purposes shall be included in Net Sales at the average invoiced price to customers in the applicable country for that type of Licensed Product or Licensed Process during the applicable calendar quarter.


Licensed Products transferred to a third party distributor, agent or end user for promotional purposes without charge shall be included in Net Sales at the average invoiced price to customers in the applicable country for that type of Licensed Product during the applicable calendar quarter.

If Licensee is required, in its reasonable judgment, to pay royalties or similar payments to one or more third parties for patented technology to avoid infringement of such third party patent(s) by a Licensed Product or the manufacture of a Licensed Product, in each case that is the subject of commercial distribution generating Net Sales, Licensee may, beginning from the date of Net Sales in respect of which it makes payments under such third party license, deduct fifty percent (50%) of the amount of royalties paid to such third party on sales of the applicable Licensed Product under such license(s) from the amounts payable to UFRF under Section 4.3, provided that such deductions shall: (i) only apply in cases where the royalty rate otherwise due UFRF under Section 4.3 with respect to such Licensed Product is seven percent (7%); (ii) not reduce the royalty payable to UFRF under Section 4.3 for the applicable Licensed Product to less than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of Net Sales of the applicable License Product, regardless of the number of licenses required by Licensee; (iii) shall not apply in cases where the Licensed Product in question is being sold by a Sublicensee and the aggregate royalty burden to Licensee (including the royalty payable to UFRF) exceeds fifteen percent (15%). Licensee shall provide UFRF with notice of any third party license it enters into that is the subject of this clause.

(c) Section 1.6 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“1.6 The term “Sublicensee” shall mean any Affiliate or third party to whom Licensee grants the right under the Licensed Patents to make, use and/or sell Licensed Product and/or Licensed Processes.”

The grant of a sublicense will not relieve Licensee of any of its obligations under this Agreement and Licensee shall have the same responsibility for the activities of any Sublicensee as if the activities were directly those of Licensee.

 

  2.2.2

In respect to sublicenses granted by Licensee under 2.2.1 above, Licensee shall pay to UFRF an amount equal to what Licensee would have been required to pay to UFRF had Licensee sold the amount of Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes sold by such Sublicensee. In addition, if Licensee receives any fees, minimum royalties, or other payments in consideration for any rights

  granted under a sublicense, and such payments are not based directly upon the amount or value of Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes sold by the Sublicensee, then: (i) if such sublicense occurs within one year of the Effective date Licensee shall pay UFRF thirty five percent (35%) of such payments; (ii) Twenty five percent (25%) of such payments if sublicense occurs after one year but less than two years from the Effective Date; or (iii) fifteen percent (15%) if sublicense occurs after two years from the Effective Date, all of which shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 4.5; provided , that this Section 2.2.2 shall not apply to: (1) equity investments in Licensee by a Sublicensee up to the amount of the fair market value of the equity purchased on the date of the investment; (2) loan proceeds paid to Licensee by a Sublicensee in full recourse debt financing; (3) sponsored research funding for future research paid to Licensee by a Sublicensee in a bona fide transaction; or (4) payments directly attributable to supplying goods (at no more than actual manufacturing cost) or services (at no more than actual direct labor and out-of-pocket costs to Licensee) to such Sublicensee to enable their practice of such sublicense. Licensee shall not receive from Sublicensees anything of value in lieu of cash payments in consideration for any sublicense under this Agreement without the express prior written permission of UFRF whose permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

  2.2.3 Licensee shall provide UFRF with a copy of each sublicense agreement within thirty (30) days after the execution of the sublicense agreement. UFRF’s receipt of the sublicense agreement, however, will constitute neither an approval of the sublicense nor a waiver of any right of UFRF or obligation of Licensee under this Agreement.”

 

  2.2.4 In the event the license granted to Licensee under Section 2.1 terminates for any reason, any sublicense granted by Licensee shall survive, provided that the Sublicensee (a) is not in breach of its sublicense at the time the license granted to Licensee under Section 2.1 is terminated; and (b) agrees in writing that: (i) UFRF is entitled to enforce all relevant provisions of such sublicense agreement directly against such Sublicensee; and (ii) UFRF shall not assume, and shall not be responsible to such Sublicensee for, any representations, warranties or obligations of Licensee to such Sublicensee, other than to permit such Sublicensee to exercise any rights to Licensed Patents that are sublicensed under such sublicense agreement in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.”

3. Diligence . Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“Section 3 Due Diligence

 

  3.1.1

Licensee agrees to and warrants that: it has, or will obtain, the expertise necessary to independently evaluate the inventions of the Licensed Patents; it will establish and actively and diligently pursue the Development Plan attached as Appendix A, as it may be amended from time to time by Licensee as reported to UFRF pursuant to a Development Report and as mutually agreed by UFRF,

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


  such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by UFRF (the “Development Plan”) to the end that the inventions of the Licensed Patents will be utilized to provide Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes for sale in the retail market within the Licensed Field; and until the date of First Commercial Sale of Licensed Products, it will supply UFRF with a written Development Report annually fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar year (see Appendix B). All development activities and strategies and all aspects of product design and decisions to market and the like are entirely at the discretion of Licensee, and Licensee shall rely entirely on its own expertise with respect thereto. UFRF’s review of Licensee’s Development Plan is solely to verify the existence of Licensee’s commitment to development activity and to ensure compliance with Licensee’s obligations to commercialize the inventions of the Licensed Patents, as set forth above, other than those elements of the Development Plan as designated as Due Diligence milestones in 3.1.2 below. Achievement of the milestones specified in Section 3.1.2(1)-(5) within the specified time periods, as they may be extended pursuant to Section 3.1.3 shall be deemed to satisfy Licensee’s diligence obligations under this Section 3. “First Commercial Sale” means any sale or transfer for value of a Licensed Product and/or Licensed Process (in an arms-length transaction) to an independent third party distributor, agent or end user after obtaining all necessary authorizations by the appropriate regulatory authority(ies) required for the manufacture, importation, marketing, promotion, pricing and sale of the Licensed Products and/or Licensed Process in the applicable country.

 

  3.1.2 (a) Licensee agrees that the first commercial sale of products to the retail customer shall occur on or before December 31, 2014 or UFRF shall have the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 hereto. In addition, Licensee agrees to the following due diligence elements which if not accomplished by the following dates, then UFRF shall have the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3:

 

(1) Complete business plan and STTR grant application

    4 th  Q 2004   

(2) Secure venture financing of at least $20,000,000

    2007   

(3) Successful relocation and build out of company headquarters

    2008   

(4) receipt of first magnet from OEM partner

    2009   

(5) Hire CEO with industry experience in developing and commercializing similar products

    2010   

(6) Filing for FDA 510k approval

    2012   

(7) First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product

    2014   

(b) If Licensee fails to actively pursue the Development Plan with respect to a certain field(s) of use within the Licensed Field and UFRF has received written notice from a third party that wishes to negotiate a license for such field(s) of use, UFRF may terminate this License with respect to such field(s) of use upon ninety (90) days written notice to Licensee and pursue negotiations with the third party for such field(s) of use unless Licensee shall within such 90 day period present a credible development plan to UFRF to pursue development of

such Licensed Products for such field(s) of use and begin to execute that plan. UFRF shall notify Licensee in writing of the fields of use UFRF proposes to license to any such licensee prior to entering into any such license to permit Licensee to propose revisions to clarify and prevent any overlap between the scope of the licenses granted under this Agreement and remaining under this Agreement and the licenses UFRF proposes to grant to such third party. UFRF shall also provide Licensee with any material revisions to such fields of use made after Licensee’s receipt and review of such fields of use . In each case, Licensee shall provide UFRF with written comments within ten (10) days after it receives any such license.

 

  3.1.3 With regard to each of the milestones specified in Section 3.1.2(a)(4)-(5), the Licensee may extend such milestone by one year with written notice to UFRF prior to the due date thereof specified in Section 3.1.2(a) and upon paying UFRF $50,000 within thirty (30) days after such notice. The Licensee may extend a milestone for an additional one year period by written notice to UFRF prior to expiration of the initial one-year extension period and payment to UFRF of a fee of $100,000 within thirty (30) days after such written notice. Each of the milestones specified in Section 3.1.2(a)(4)-(5) is extendable under this Section 3.1.3 for no more than two years.”

4. Liquidity Event Payment; Equity Adjustment . Section 4.1.2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted. The Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 4.2A to follow Section 4.2 and to read in full as follows:

 

  “4.2A Issuance of Additional Equity. As additional consideration payable to UFRF, Licensee will cause James F. Dempsey, Russell S. Donda and Jim Carnall (collectively, the “Founders”) to transfer to UFRF an additional 10,000 shares of Common Stock immediately preceding the initial closing of the Licensee’s Series B Preferred Stock financing.

UFRF will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement with the Licensee and its stockholders and such other agreements as the Company determines are necessary and desirable, on terms and conditions acceptable to both parties, and shall also provide Licensee with an accredited investor certification. The Investor Rights Agreement will include provisions for UFRF to hold: (1) piggyback registration rights; (2) co-sale rights; and (3) participation rights with respect to future financings to maintain its allocable pro rata ownership position; and will also provide that UFRF shall not be subject to a lock up at any time when UFRF’s holdings represent less than 1% of the Licensee’s voting securities on a fully-diluted as converted to Common Stock basis.”

5. Records . Section 6 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows

 

  “6.1 Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall keep books and records sufficient to verify the accuracy and completeness of Licensee’s and its Sublicensee(s)’s accounting referred to in Section 4.5 above, including without limitation, inventory, purchase and invoice records, manufacturing records, sales analysis, general ledgers, financial statements, and tax returns relating to the Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes. Such books and records shall be preserved for a period not less than three year after they are created, both during and after the term of this Agreement

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


  6.2 Licensee and its Affiliates shall, and Licensee shall cause its’ Sublicensee(s) to, take all steps necessary so that an independent certified public accountant, appointed by UFRF and reasonably acceptable to Licensee or the applicable Sublicensee may, within thirty (30) days of its written request, audit, or review all of the books and records required by Section 6.1 at a single U.S. location to verify the accuracy of Licensee’s and its Sublicensee(s)’s accounting. Such review may be performed upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours not more than once in any calendar year during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter (unless U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that such records be maintained for a longer period in which case the records shall be maintained for such longer period) nor more than once with respect to sales of Licensed Products in any given payment period. If a deficiency with regard to any payment hereunder is determined, Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall pay the deficiency within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof along with applicable interest as described in Section 4.5.1. If a royalty payment deficiency for a calendar year exceeds three percent (3%) of the royalties paid for that year, then Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall be responsible for paying UFRF’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to such review. UFRF agrees to hold in confidence all information concerning royalty payments and reports, and all information learned in the course of any review or audit, except to the extent necessary for UFRF to reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order. Any person or entity conducting such review or audit will agree in writing with Licensee or the applicable Sublicensee to treat all records reviewed in the course of the review or audit as the confidential information of Licensee or such Sublicensee. In the event that Licensee or any Sublicensee objects to an auditor proposed by UFRF they shall document the basis of their objection in writing and with specificity.”

6. Minimum Royalty . Section 4.4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“4.4 Other Payments

 

  4.4.1 Licensee agrees to pay UFRF Minimum Royalty payments, as follows:

 

Payment    Year
$200,000    2014 and every year thereafter on the same date, for the life of this Agreement.

The Minimum Royalty shall be paid in advance on a quarterly basis for each year in which this Agreement is in effect. The first quarterly Minimum Royalty payment shall be due on December 31, 2013 (for the 2014 year) and shall be in the amount of $50,000. The Minimum Royalty for a given year shall be due in

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


advance and shall be paid in quarterly installments on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 for the following quarter. Any Minimum Royalty paid in a calendar year will be credited against the earned royalties for that calendar year (except that the payment made each December 31 shall be applied to the next calendar year). It is understood that the Minimum Royalties will be applied to earned royalties on a calendar year basis, and that sales of Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes requiring the payment of earned royalties made during a prior or subsequent calendar year shall have no effect on the annual Minimum Royalty due UFRF for other than the same calendar year in which the royalties were earned.”

7. Patent Enforcement . Section 8 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“8.1 Either party shall inform the other party in writing within ten (10) business days of it becoming aware of any alleged infringement of the Licensed Patents by a third party, along with any available evidence thereof.

 

8.2 During the term of this Agreement, UFRF shall have the first right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense using outside counsel reasonably acceptable to Licensee any such infringements of the Licensed Patents. UFRF shall inform Licensee of its decision to exercise its right to enforce or defend Licensed Patents within sixty (60) days following UFRF’s becoming aware of, or receiving notice of, the alleged infringement. If UFRF does not exercise its option to enforce or defend any Licensed Patents, then Licensee shall have the right and option to pursue the alleged infringer using outside counsel reasonably acceptable to UFRF, at Licensee’s own expense. If either party prosecutes any such infringement, the other party agrees that it may be joined as a co-plaintiff in any such suit if so required by law, without expense to the other party. The party prosecuting any such action shall indemnify the other party against any order for costs that may be made against such other party in such proceedings.

 

8.3 If within six (6) months after having notified Licensee that it shall prosecute or defend Licensed Patents UFRF shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist and shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, then Licensee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any infringement of the Licensed Patents. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any infringement suit that is the subject of this Section 8 may be entered into without the consent of both parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld

 

8.4

In the event that UFRF shall undertake the enforcement by litigation and/or defense of the Licensed Patents by litigation, any recovery of damages by UFRF for any such suit shall be applied first in satisfaction of any reasonable unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of UFRF relating to the suit, and next toward reimbursement of Licensee for its reasonable unreimbursed expenses and legal fees. The balance, if any, remaining shall be allocated so that UFRF receives 15% of such remainder and Licensee receives 85%; provided that in the event that deeming the amount of such balance as Net Sales

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


  and paying UFRF royalties on such balance at the rate of either seven percent (7%) (if the Licensed Products or Licensed Processes that are the subject of such enforcement action are comprised solely of software) or at the rate of one percent (1%)] (if the Licensed Products or Licensed Processes that are the subject of such enforcement action are not comprised solely of software) yields a greater recovery for UFRF then UFRF may elect to receive payment based upon such “Net Sales” calculation.

 

8.5 In the event that Licensee shall undertake the enforcement by litigation and/or defense of the Licensed Patents by litigation, any recovery of damages by Licensee for any such suit shall be applied first in satisfaction of any reasonable unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of Licensee relating to the suit, and next toward reimbursement of UFRF for any reasonable unreimbursed expenses and legal fees. The balance then remaining on any such recovery shall be divided so that Licensee receives an amount equal to its lost profits or a reasonable royalty on the sales of the infringer (whichever measure of damages shall have applied by the litigants or a court or arbitrator (if any)), and UFRF receives an amount equal to the royalties due UFRF based on such sales (if the litigants or the court or arbitrator applies a sales of the infringer measure of damages) or a reasonable approximation of the royalties that Licensee would have owed to UFRF on sales of Licensed Products that Licensee lost to the infringer (if the litigants or court or arbitrator applies a lost profits measure of damages). The balance, if any, remaining shall be allocated so that Licensee receives 85% of such remainder and UFRF receives 15% ; provided that in the event that deeming the amount of such balance as Net Sales and paying UFRF royalties on such balance at the rate of either seven percent (7%) (if the Licensed Products or Licensed Processes that are the subject of such enforcement action are comprised solely of software) or at the rate of one percent (1%) (if the Licensed Products or Licensed Processes that are the subject of such enforcement action are not comprised solely of software) yields a greater recovery for UFRF then UFRF may elect to receive payment based upon such “Net Sales” calculation.

 

8.5A If UFRF does not exercise its option to enforce or defend Licensed Patents in accordance with Section 8.2 and the Licensee subsequently notifies UFRF that it is unable or unwilling to undertake the enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents with respect to the third party that is the subject of the notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 (such notice to be delivered within one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of UFRF’s notice pursuant to Section 8.2) then UFRF shall again have the right to enforce or defend the Licensed Patents with respect to such third party in accordance with Section 8.2 and if UFRF proceeds against such infringer then the allocation of recovery provided in Section 8.4 with respect to the balance of any recovery after reimbursement of the parties respective costs shall be reversed so that UFRF receives 85% of the balance of the recovery and Licensee receives 15%. It is understood and agreed that this Section 8.5A shall not apply to an infringer other than the third party that has been the subject of a Section 8.1 notice and that with respect to other infringers the parties shall use the provisions of Sections 8.1-8.5 before this Section 8.5A becomes operative with respect to such infringers.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


8.6 In any infringement suit that either party may institute to enforce the Licensed Patents pursuant to this Agreement, the other party hereto shall, at the request and expense of the party initiating such suit, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.

 

8.7 In the event a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or noninfringement of any of the Licensed Patents shall be brought against Licensee, UFRF, at its option, shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after commencement of such action, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.

 

8.8 In the event Licensee contests the validity of any Licensed Patents, Licensee shall continue to pay royalties and make other payments pursuant to this Agreement with respect to that patent as if such contest were not underway until the patent is adjudicated invalid or unenforceable by a court of last resort.”

8. Mergers and Acquisitions . Section 10 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“Section 10 Assignability

Licensee may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of UFRF except that Licensee may assign this Agreement without UFRF’s prior written consent in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Licensee, whether by merger, acquisition, or otherwise, if the assignee or successor assumes all of the Licensee’s obligations hereunder in writing; provided however, this Section 10 shall not limit Licensee’s right to enter into sublicenses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”

9. Indemnity . Section 12.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

  “12.1

Licensee and its Sublicensee(s) shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, indemnify, defend and hold UFRF, the Florida Board of Governors, the University of Florida Board of Trustees, the University of Florida, and each of their directors, officers, employees, and agents, and the inventors of the Licensed Patents, regardless of whether such inventors are employed by the University of Florida at the time of the claim, harmless against all claims and expenses, including legal expenses and reasonable attorneys fees, arising from a third party claim (including legal expenses and attorneys fees resulting from UFRF’s enforcing this indemnification clause against Licensee with respect to any such third party claim) (collectively, “Liabilities”) arising out of (a) the death of or injury to any person or persons or (b) any damage to property or (c) any other claim, proceeding, demand, expense and liability of any kind whatsoever (other than patent infringement claims) resulting from the production, manufacture, sale, use, lease, consumption, marketing, or advertisement of Licensed Products or Licensed Process(es) or (d) arising from any material breach by Licensee or its Affiliates of any obligation of Licensee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, UFRF at all times reserves the right to retain counsel of its own and at its expense, to defend UFRF’s, the Florida

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


  Board of Governors’, the University of Florida Board of Trustees’, the University of Florida’s, and the inventor’s interests. The foregoing indemnification action shall not apply to the extent that that such liabilities or losses arose as a result of any indemnified party’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

To receive the benefit of indemnification under this Section 12.1, UFRF and/or the other indemnitees must (i) promptly notify Licensee in writing of any claim or suit of which it has actual notice that may give rise to Liabilities for which it seeks indemnification; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve Licensee of its indemnification obligations except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of Licensee); (ii) provide reasonable cooperation (at the Licensee’s expense); and (iii) tender to the Licensee full authority to defend or settle the claim or suit using counsel selected by Licensee and reasonably acceptable to UFRF, provided that UFRF may, at its own expense, also be represented by counsel of its own choosing; provided that UFRF may, at its own expense, also be represented by counsel of its own choosing; provided that Licensee will not settle or compromise or consent to any claim or action giving rise to Liabilities in any manner that imposes any restrictions on obligations on UFRF or the other indemnitees or grants any rights to the Licensed Patents or the Licensed Products without the applicable indemnitee’s (and including where applicable, UFRF’s) prior written consent. Licensee has no obligation to indemnify any indemnified party in connection with any settlement made without Licensee’s written consent. Although the Licensee shall have the sole right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim or action (subject to the consent rights provided to UFRF herein), UFRF shall be kept informed about the status of any such action, including, without limitation, prior advance notice of any significant issues or matters in the action.”

10. Termination of [***] Sublicense . UFRF acknowledges that the Standard Sublicense Agreement with Field of Use Restriction entered into as of March 9, 2005 between Licensee and [***], as amended (the Sublicense Agreement ) has been terminated effective as of the Effective Date based upon the determination by [***] (as agreed by Licensee) that the opportunity in the [***] market that [***] was organized to pursue is not encouraging; and UFRF understands that Licensee does not presently intend to pursue opportunities in the [***] market and agrees that the suspension of development efforts with respect to such market shall not be deemed a breach of Licensees obligations under this Agreement and that in the event and to the extent any third party seeks to obtain rights to commercialize products in the [***] market that opportunity shall be subject to Section 3.1.2(b) of this Agreement. Licensee covenants and agrees that in the event it makes a decision to pursue development of Licensed Products or Licensed processes for the [***] market it shall notify UFRF.

11. Subsequent Effect . If the Licensee does not complete the Series B Preferred Stock financing contemplated by the certain Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between Licensee and the other parties named on the signature pages thereto within sixty (60) days following the Amendment Date, then UFRF shall have the right to terminate this Amendment No. 1 and the Agreement shall thereafter mean the Agreement without the provisions of this Amendment No. 1.

12. Ratification . Except to the extent expressly amended by this Amendment No. 1, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

(B) if, as of such Redemption Date, the Borrower shall have made more than one Borrowing, then the Redemption Price shall equal the sum of the Redemption Prices calculated with respect to the Loans of each Borrowing, each of which Redemption Prices shall be calculated based on solely the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans borrowed in such Borrowing (and PIK Loans subsequently borrowed in respect of interest payments thereon), as though the applicable number of Payment Dates equals the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the applicable Borrowing Date. In the case of any partial prepayment, the amount of such prepayment shall be allocated to Loans made in the various Borrowings (and PIK Loans in respect thereof) in the order in which such Borrowings were made;

Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(f) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

(b) In case of an Event of Default described in Section 11.01(h) , (i) or (j) , the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, shall automatically become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Loans, at the Redemption Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Obligor.

65


(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium (as a component of the Redemption Price) shall be due and payable at any time the Loans become due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date for any reason, whether due to acceleration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in which case it shall be due immediately, upon the giving of notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 11.02(a) , or automatically, in accordance with Section 11.02(b) ), by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, where bankruptcy filings or the exercise of any bankruptcy right or power, whether in any plan of reorganization or otherwise, results or would result in a payment, discharge, modification or other treatment of the Loans or Loan Documents that would otherwise evade, avoid, or otherwise disappoint the expectations of Lenders in receiving the full benefit of their bargained-for Prepayment Premium or Redemption Price as provided herein). The Obligors and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Prepayment Premium due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under section 502(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, but instead is reasonably calculated to ensure that the Lenders receive the benefit of their bargain under the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders shall be entitled to recover the full amount of the Redemption Price in each and every circumstance such amount is due pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation in the case of any Obligor’s bankruptcy filing, so that the Lenders shall receive the benefit of their bargain hereunder and otherwise receive full recovery as agreed under every possible circumstance, and Borrower hereby waives any defense to payment, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation. Any damages that the Lenders may suffer or incur resulting from or arising in connection with any breach by Borrower shall constitute secured obligations owing to the Lenders.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.05(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.05(e) .

Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.05(b) ; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(g) as if it were an assignee under Section 12.05(b) ; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.03 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.

(g) Certain Pledges . The Lenders may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of the Lenders, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lenders from any of their obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lenders as a party hereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (in each case, the “ Maximum Rate ”). If the Lenders shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans, and not to the payment of interest, or, if the excessive interest exceeds such unpaid principal, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the applicable Obligor. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lenders exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Indebtedness and other obligations of any Obligor hereunder, or (d) allocate interest between portions of such Indebtedness and other obligations under the Loan Documents to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable Law.

12.19 Certain Waivers .

(a) Real Property Security Waivers .

(i) Each Obligor acknowledges that all or any portion of the Obligations may now or hereafter be secured by a Lien or Liens upon real property evidenced by certain documents including, without limitation, deeds of trust and assignments of rents. Lenders may, pursuant to the terms of said real property security documents and applicable law, foreclose under all or any portion of one or more of said Liens by means of judicial or nonjudicial sale or sales. Each Obligor agrees that Lenders may exercise whatever rights and remedies they may have with respect to said real property security, all without affecting the liability of any Obligor under the Loan Documents, except to the extent Lenders realize payment by such action or proceeding. No election to proceed in one form of action or against any party, or on any obligation shall constitute a waiver of Lenders’ rights to proceed in any other form of action or against any Obligor or any other Person, or diminish the liability of any Obligor, or affect the right of Lenders to proceed against any Obligor for any deficiency, except to the extent Lenders realize payment by such action, notwithstanding the effect of such action upon any Obligor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity, if any, against Obligor or any other Person.

(ii) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Obligor hereby waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Obligor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code.

Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

73


(iii) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Obligor hereby waives all rights and defenses that such Obligor may have because the Obligations are or may be secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(A) Lenders may collect from any Obligor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Obligor;

(B) If Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by any Obligor:

(1) The amount of the Loans may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price;

(2) Lenders may collect from each Obligor even if Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right that such Obligor may have to collect from any other Obligor; and

(3) To the extent permitted under applicable law, this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Obligor may have because the Obligations are or may be secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(iv) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Obligor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Obligor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(b) Waiver of Marshaling . W ITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY , EACH O BLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES , TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY L AW , ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME ( WHETHER ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY , BY OPERATION OF LAW , CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE ) TO REQUIRE THE MARSHALING OF ANY ASSETS OF ANY O BLIGOR , WHICH RIGHT OF MARSHALING MIGHT OTHERWISE ARISE FROM ANY PAYMENTS MADE OR OBLIGATIONS PERFORMED . T O THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW , EACH O BLIGOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT ARE OR MAY BECOME AVAILABLE TO SUCH O BLIGOR BY REASON OF S ECTIONS 2899 AND 3433 OF THE C ALIFORNIA C IVIL C ODE .

In the event any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Subsidiary Guarantor, such Lender shall be

under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such Lender, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

13.06 Reinstatement . The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Lenders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Lenders in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

13.07 Subrogation . The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitment of the Lenders under this Agreement they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 13.01 , whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.08 Remedies . The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11 ) for purposes of Section 13.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.01 .

13.09 Instrument for the Payment of Money . Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Lenders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y.

77


Obligations, each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 13.11 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 13 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

For purposes of this Section 13.11 , (i) “ Excess Funding Guarantor ” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “ Excess Payment ” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “ Pro Rata Share ” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the First Borrowing Date, as of such Borrowing Date, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

13.12 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations . In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 13.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 13.11 , be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.01 , then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(c) Finance and Sale Issues . (i) If any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and a Creditor shall desire to permit the use by such Obligor of cash collateral (as defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, “ Cash Collateral ”) constituting such Creditor’s Senior Collateral or to permit any Obligor to obtain financing (including on a priming basis with respect to such Creditor’s Senior Collateral), whether from such Creditor or any other third party under Section 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law (each, a “ Post-Petition Financing ”), then the other Creditor agrees that it shall not oppose or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), such use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing and shall not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as specifically permitted under Section 5(e) ); provided, however, that , notwithstanding the foregoing, either Creditor shall be entitled to oppose, raise objection to, or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to, or contesting) any such use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing if such proposed use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing would result in any liens on such Creditor’s Senior Collateral to be subordinated to or pari passu with such Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing.

(ii) Each Creditor agrees that it shall raise no objection to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), a sale, revesting or other disposition of any Collateral constituting its Junior Collateral free and clear of its liens or other Claims, whether under Sections 363 or 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, if the other Creditor has consented to such sale or disposition of such assets; provided, however, that , notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, either Creditor shall be entitled to oppose, raise objection to, or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to, or contesting) any sale, revesting or other disposition of any Collateral constituting its Senior Collateral free and clear of its liens or other Claims.

(d) Relief from the Automatic Stay . Each Creditor agrees that, until the other Creditor’s Claims have been indefeasibly paid in full, such Creditor shall not seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of its Junior Collateral without the prior written consent of such other Creditor.

Exhibit I-7


(e) Adequate Protection . [A/R Lender] agrees that it shall not:

(i) oppose, object to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) (A) any request by CRG for adequate protection in any Insolvency Proceeding (or any granting of such request), or (B) any objection by CRG to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on such Senior Creditor claiming a lack of adequate protection; or

(ii) seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any of Sections 362, 363 and/or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent that, in the sole discretion of CRG, the receipt by [A/R Lender] of any such adequate protection would not reduce (or would not have the effect of reducing) or adversely affect the adequate protection that CRG otherwise would be entitled to receive, it being understood that, in any event, (y) no adequate protection shall be requested or accepted by [A/R Lender] unless CRG is satisfied in its sole discretion with the adequate protection afforded to CRG, and (z) any such adequate protection is in the form of a replacement lien on the Obligors’ assets, which lien shall be subordinated to the liens securing CRG’s Claims (including any replacement liens granted in respect of CRG’s Claims) and any Post-Petition Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other liens securing [A/R Lender]’s Claims are so subordinated to the liens securing CRG’s Claims as set forth in this Agreement.

(f) Post-Petition Interest . Each Creditor shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the other Creditor for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses, provided that the treatment of such Claims are consistent with the Creditors’ relative priorities set forth in this Agreement.

(g) Separate Class . Without limiting anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Credit Documents, each Creditor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of liens pursuant to the CRG Documents and the A/R Facility Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of liens, and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, each Creditor’s Claims are fundamentally different from the other’s Claims and must be separately classified in any Plan proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the respective Claims of the Creditors in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Creditor hereby acknowledges and agrees (x) that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral, and (y) to turn over to the other Creditor amounts otherwise received or receivable by it in the manner described in Section 3(b) to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence.

(h) Waiver . Each Creditor waives any claim it may hereafter have against the other Creditor arising out of the election by such other Creditor of the application to the claims of such other Creditor of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing arrangement or out of any grant of a lien in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding.

6. Notice of Default . Each Creditor shall give to the other prompt written notice of the

Exhibit I-8


occurrence of any default or event of default (which has not been promptly waived or cured) under any of its Credit Documents of which it has knowledge (and any subsequent cure or waiver thereof) and shall, simultaneously with giving any notice of default or acceleration to Borrower, provide to the other Creditor a copy of such notice of default. [A/R Lender] acknowledges and agrees that any event of default under the A/R Facility Documents shall be deemed to be an event of default under the CRG Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6 shall obligate either Creditor to provide any notice in violation of any stay imposed in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, including without limitation the automatic stay in Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, nor shall either Creditor have any liability to the other arising from or in connection with such Creditor’s failure to take such action.

7. Release of Liens . In the event of any private or public sale or other disposition, by or with the consent of any Creditor (for purposes of this Section 7 , the “ Senior Creditor ”), of all or any portion of such Creditor’s Senior Collateral, the other Creditor (for purposes of this Section 7 , the “ Junior Creditor ”) agrees that such sale or disposition shall be free and clear of such Junior Creditor’s liens, provided that such sale or disposition is made in accordance with the UCC or applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation Sections 363(f) or 1141(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Junior Creditor agrees that, in connection with any such sale or other disposition, (i) the Senior Creditor is authorized to file any and all UCC and other applicable lien releases and/or terminations in respect of the liens held by the Junior Creditor in connection with such a sale or other disposition, and (ii) it shall execute any and all lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Senior Creditor in connection therewith.

8. Attorney-In-Fact . Until the CRG Claims have been fully paid in cash and CRG’s arrangements to lend any funds to the Obligors have been terminated, [A/R Lender] irrevocably appoints CRG as [A/R Lender]’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to CRG a power of attorney with full power of substitution (which power of attorney is coupled with an interest), in the name of [A/R Lender] or in the name of CRG, for the use and benefit of CRG, without notice to [A/R Lender], to perform at CRG’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving Borrower:

(a) To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the [A/R Lender] Claims on behalf of [A/R Lender] if [A/R Lender] does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if CRG elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; and

(b) To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of [A/R Lender] and to otherwise vote [A/R Lender]’s claims in respect of any [A/R Lender] Claim in any manner that CRG deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.

9. Agent for Perfection . (a) [A/R Lender] acknowledges that applicable provisions of the UCC may require, in order to properly perfect CRG’s security interest in the Common Collateral securing the CRG Claims, that CRG possess certain of such Common Collateral, and may require the execution of control agreements in favor of CRG concerning such Common Collateral. In order to help ensure that CRG’s security interest in such Common Collateral is

Exhibit I-9


properly perfected (but subject to and without waiving the other provisions of this Agreement), [A/R Lender] agrees to hold both for itself and, solely for the purposes of perfection and without incurring any duties or obligations to CRG as a result thereof or with respect thereto, for the benefit of CRG, any such Common Collateral, and agrees that CRG’s lien in such Common Collateral shall be deemed perfected in accordance with applicable law.

(b) CRG acknowledges that applicable provisions of the UCC may require, in order to properly perfect [A/R Lender]’s security interest in the Common Collateral securing the [A/R Lender] Claims, that [A/R Lender] possess certain of such Common Collateral, and may require the execution of control agreements in favor of [A/R Lender] concerning such Common Collateral. In order to help ensure that [A/R Lender]’s security interest in such Common Collateral is properly perfected (but subject to and without waiving the other provisions of this Agreement), CRG agrees to hold both for itself and, solely for the purposes of perfection and without incurring any additional duties or obligations to [A/R Lender] as a result thereof or with respect thereto, for the benefit of [A/R Lender], any such Common Collateral, and agrees that [A/R Lender]’s lien in such Common Collateral shall be deemed perfected in accordance with applicable law.

10. Credit Documents . (a) Each Creditor represents and warrants that it has provided to the other true, correct and complete copies of all Credit Documents which relate to its credit agreement.

(b) At any time and from time to time, without notice to the other Creditor, each Creditor may take such actions with respect to its Claims as such Creditor, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances under its Credit Documents, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest to the default rate, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting its Claims and any Collateral therefor, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other person, and no such action or inaction described in this sentence shall impair or otherwise affect such Creditor’s rights hereunder; provided, however, that (i) neither Creditor shall take any action that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) [A/R Lender] shall not increase the portion of [A/R Lender]’s Claim consisting of principal to an amount in excess of $[        ] without the prior written consent of CRG. Each Creditor waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit a subordinating creditor to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or that may give the subordinating creditor the right to require a senior creditor to marshal assets, and each Creditor agrees that it shall not assert any such defenses or rights.

(c) Each Creditor agrees that any other Creditor may release or refrain from enforcing its security interest in the Collateral, or permit the use or consumption of such Collateral by any Obligor free of the other Creditor’s security interest, without incurring any liability to any other Creditor.

11. Waiver of Right to Require Marshaling . Each Creditor hereby expressly waives any right that it otherwise might have to require any other Creditor to marshal assets or to resort to Collateral in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common law or statute. No Creditor shall be required to enforce any guaranty or any security interest or lien given by any

Exhibit I-10


person or entity as a condition precedent or concurrent to the taking of any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral.

12. Representations and Warranties . Each Creditor represents and warrants to the other that:

(a) all action on the part of such Creditor, its officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders, as applicable, necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of such Creditor hereunder has been taken;

(b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Creditor, enforceable against such Creditor in accordance with its terms;

(c) the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement by such Creditor will not (i) result in any material violation or default of any term of any of such Creditor’s charter, formation or other organizational documents (such as Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, etc.) or (ii) violate any material applicable law, rule or regulation.

13. Disgorgement . (a) If, at any time after payment in full of the [A/R Lender] Claims any payments of the [A/R Lender] Claims must be disgorged by [A/R Lender] for any reason (including, without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and CRG shall immediately pay over to [A/R Lender] all money or funds received or retained by CRG with respect to the CRG Claims to the extent that such receipt or retention would have been prohibited hereunder.

(b) If, at any time after payment in full of the CRG Claims any payments of the CRG Claims must be disgorged by CRG for any reason (including, without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and [A/R Lender] shall immediately pay over to CRG all money or funds received or retained by [A/R Lender] with respect to the [A/R Lender] Claims to the extent that such receipt or retention would have been prohibited hereunder.

14. Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of each Creditor. This Agreement shall remain effective until all Claims are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full and Creditors have no commitment to extend credit under the Credit Documents. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Creditors and not for the benefit of Borrower or any other party. Each Creditor shall not sell, assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its Claims or any of its Credit Documents or any interest in any Common Collateral unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to the other Creditor an agreement of such transferee to be bound hereby, or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement providing for the continued subjection of such Claims, the interests of the transferee in the Collateral and the remedies of the transferee with respect thereto as provided herein with respect to the transferring Creditor and for the continued effectiveness of all of the other rights of the other Creditor arising under this

Exhibit I-11


Agreement, in each case in form satisfactory to the other Creditor.

15. Further Assurances . Each Creditor hereby agrees to execute such documents and/or take such further action as the other Creditor may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ratifications and confirmations of this Agreement from time to time hereafter, as and when requested by the other Creditor.

16. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

17. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial . (a) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) EACH CREDITOR WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.

18. Entire Agreement . This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Each Creditor is not relying on any representations by the other Creditor, Borrower or any other Obligor in entering into this Agreement, and each Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of each Obligor. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by the Creditors.

19. Relationship among Creditors . The relationship among the Creditors is, and at all times shall remain solely that of Creditors. Creditors shall not under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of one another; nor shall the Creditors under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with one another, or to owe any fiduciary duty to one another. Creditors do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to one another to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform each other of any matter in connection with any Obligor’s property, any Collateral held by any Creditor or the operations of any Obligor. Each Creditor shall rely entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Creditor in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of such Creditor.

20. Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or impairing the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

ViewRay Incorporated

Dated as of December 16, 2013 (the “ Effective Date ”)

WHEREAS, the Company (as defined below) desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration for, among other things, the financial accommodations provided for in the Loan Agreement, the right to purchase shares of Preferred Stock (as defined below) pursuant to this Warrant Agreement (the “ Agreement ”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and delivering the Loan Agreement and providing the financial accommodations contemplated therein, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:

Exercise Price ” means (a) if Preferred Stock means Series C Preferred Stock, $2.40 per share, or (b) if Preferred Stock means Next Round Stock, the lowest price per share of Next Round Stock paid by investors in the Next Round, in either case subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.

Purchase Price ” means, with respect to any exercise of this Agreement, an amount equal to the Exercise Price as of the relevant time multiplied by the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be exercised under this Agreement pursuant to such exercise.

SECTION 2 . TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Agreement and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein (the “ Warrant ”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending upon the later to occur of (i) ten (10) years from the Effective Date; or (ii) five (5) years after the Initial Public Offering.

SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.

(a) Exercise . The purchase rights set forth in this Agreement are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “ Notice of Exercise ”), duly completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three (3) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “ Acknowledgment of Exercise ”) indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.

The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder’s election either (i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Preferred Stock to be exercised under this Agreement and, if applicable, an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below (“ Net Issuance ”). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:

 

3


         X = Y(A - B)

            A

  
           
   Where:    X =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder.   
      Y =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be exercised under
this Agreement.
  
      A =    the fair market value of one (1) share of Preferred Stock at the time of
issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock.
  
      B =    the Exercise Price.   

For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:

(i) if the exercise is in connection with an Initial Public Offering, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Initial Public Offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” of the Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;

(ii) if the exercise is after, and not in connection with an Initial Public Offering, and:

(A) if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices over a five (5) day period ending three days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise; or

(B) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the five (5) day period ending three days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;

(iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ National Market or the over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be the product of (x) the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by

 

4


its Board of Directors and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise, unless the Company shall become subject to a Merger Event, in which case the fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such Merger Event.

Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

(b) Exercise Prior to Expiration . To the extent this Agreement is not previously exercised as to all Preferred Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Preferred Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3(a) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Preferred Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Agreement or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of shares of Preferred Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

During the term of this Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein, and shall have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder.

SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Agreement, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the then fair market value of one share of Preferred Stock.

SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.

This Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder/stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of this Agreement.

SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.

The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Agreement. Warrantholder’s initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth below Warrantholder’s signature on this Agreement. Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.

 

5


SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:

(a) Merger Event . If at any time there shall be Merger Event, then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Agreement, the number of shares of preferred stock or other securities or property (collectively, “ Reference Property ”) that the Warrantholder would have received in connection with such Merger Event if Warrantholder had exercised this Agreement immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and adjustments to ensure that the provisions of this Section 8 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the purchase rights under this Agreement in relation to any Reference Property thereafter acquirable upon exercise of such purchase rights) shall continue to be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Merger Event, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing assumption requirement shall not apply if the consideration to be paid for or in respect of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in such Merger Event consists solely of cash and/or readily marketable securities. In connection with a Merger Event and upon Warrantholder’s written election to the Company, the Company shall cause this Warrant Agreement to be exchanged for the consideration that Warrantholder would have received if Warrantholder had chosen to exercise its right to have shares issued pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions of this Warrant Agreement without actually exercising such right, acquiring such shares and exchanging such shares for such consideration. The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Even.

(b) Reclassification of Shares . Except for Merger Events subject to Section 8(a), and subject to Section 8(f), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall similarly apply to successive combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.

(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares . If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased.

 

6


(d) Stock Dividends . If the Company at any time while this Agreement is outstanding and unexpired shall:

(i) pay a dividend with respect to the Preferred Stock payable in Preferred Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or

(ii) make any other distribution with respect to Preferred Stock, except any distribution specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as though it were the holder of the Preferred Stock as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.

(e) Antidilution Rights . Additional antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Charter and shall be applicable with respect to the Preferred Stock issuable hereunder. The Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter; provided , that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall impair or reduce the antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock as of the date hereof unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights of Warrantholder with respect to the Preferred Stock in the same manner as it affects all other holders of Preferred Stock.

(f) Notice of Adjustments . If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in stock, cash, property or other securities; (ii) there shall be any Merger Event; (iii) there shall be an Initial Public Offering; (iv) the Company shall sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets; or (v) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder: (A) at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, or for determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; (B) in the case of any such Merger Event, sale, lease, license or other transfer of all or substantially all assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and (C) in the case of an Initial Public Offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder at least fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to the effective date thereof.

 

7


Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the event requiring the notice, and (ii) if any adjustment is required to be made, (A) the amount of such adjustment, (B) the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (C) the adjusted Exercise Price (if the Exercise Price has been adjusted), and (D) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given in accordance with Section 12(g) below.

(g) Timely Notice . Failure to timely provide such notice required by subsection (f) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. For purposes of this subsection (g), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12(g), the notice period shall begin on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing all the information required to be provided in such subsection (g).

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Reservation of Preferred Stock . The Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder’s rights has been or, in the case of Preferred Stock issuable in the Next Round, will be duly and validly reserved and, when issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free of any taxes, liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever; provided , that the Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws.

(b) Due Authority . The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to Warrantholder of the right to acquire the shares of Preferred Stock and the Common Stock into which it may be converted, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement: (1) does not violate the Company’s Charter or current bylaws; (2) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it; and (3) does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) Consents and Approvals .

In addition, as of the date immediately preceding the date of this Agreement:

(i) The authorized capital of the Company consists of (A) 81,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 2,141,690 shares are issued and outstanding, and (B) 67,460,997 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 61,013,326 shares are issued and outstanding and as of the date hereof, are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a 1:1 basis;

(e) Registration Rights . The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, and, at all times (if any) when the Preferred Stock shall be Common Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, shall have the “Piggyback,” and S-3 registration rights pursuant to and as set forth in the Company’s investor rights agreement or similar agreement (as may be amended from time to time, the “ Investor Rights Agreement ”) on a pari passu basis with the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the same series who are parties thereto. The provisions set forth in the Company’s Investor Rights Agreement or similar agreement relating to such registration rights in effect as of the Effective Date may not be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of the Warrantholder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise hereof in the same manner as such amendment, modification, or waiver affects the rights associated with all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the same series whose holders are parties thereto.

(f) Other Commitments to Register Securities . Except as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company is not, pursuant to the terms of any other agreement currently in existence, under any obligation to register under the Act any of its presently outstanding securities or any of its securities which may hereafter be issued.

 

9


(g) Exempt Transaction . Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder’s representations in Section 10, the issuance of the Preferred Stock upon exercise of this Agreement, and the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, will each constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof; and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state securities laws.

(h) Compliance with Rule 144 . If the Warrantholder proposes to sell Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Agreement, or the Common Stock into which it is convertible, in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, then, upon Warrantholder’s written request to the Company, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Warrantholder a written statement confirming the Company’s compliance with the filing requirements of the SEC as set forth in such Rule, as such Rule may be amended from time to time.

(i) Information Rights . During the term of this Warrant, Warrantholder shall be entitled to the information rights contained in Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, and Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference as though fully set forth herein, provided, however, that the Company shall (i) not be required to deliver a Compliance Certificate once all Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owed by the Company to Warrantholder has been repaid; and (ii) be free to make any change in its accounting policies and reporting practices in accordance with GAAP.

This Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:

(a) Investment Purpose . The right to acquire Preferred Stock is being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of such rights or the Preferred Stock except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

(b) Private Issue . The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Agreement is not registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Agreement will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 10.

(c) Financial Risk . The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.

 

10


(d) Risk of No Registration . The Warrantholder understands that if the Company does not register with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ 1934 Act ”), or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement covering the securities under the Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of (A) its rights hereunder to purchase Preferred Stock or (B) Preferred Stock issued or issuable hereunder which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

(e) Accredited Investor . Warrantholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Agreement properly endorsed; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Warrantholder can only assign any interest hereunder to a Person who is an Affiliate of Warrantholder or an Eligible Assignee upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company. Any proposed transfer of this Agreement or any rights hereunder is prohibited unless transferred in accordance with the terms hereof. Each permitted taker and holder of this Agreement, by taking or holding the same in accordance with the terms hereof, consents and agrees that this Agreement, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Agreement shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Agreement as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Agreement. The transfer of this Agreement shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the “ Transfer Notice ”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes. Any proposed transfer not in accordance with the terms hereof shall be null and void ab inititio .

SECTION 12 . MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Effective Date . The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respects as if it had been executed and delivered by the Company on the date hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.

(b) Remedies . In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including but not limited to an action for damages as a result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default where Warrantholder will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not be readily ascertainable. The Company expressly agrees that it shall not oppose an application by the Warrantholder or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Agreement requiring specific performance of any or all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any such breach of this Agreement.

 

11


(c) No Impairment of Rights . The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.

(d) Additional Documents . The Company, upon execution of this Agreement, shall provide the Warrantholder with an officer’s certificate stating that on and as of the Effective Date, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 9(a) through 9(f) shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. The Company shall also supply the Warrantholder with documentation reasonably necessary to evaluate whether to exercise (in cash or a net issuance basis) this Warrant, including without limitation, (i) any merger/purchase/asset sale agreement and related documents and estimated payout allocations to each of the respective shareholders, warrant and option holders in connection with a Merger Event, (ii) the most recent capitalization tables, 409A valuations (if any), and board determination of share value (including any waterfall or per share allocations provided to the stockholders), and (iii) most recent Charter.

(e) Attorney’s Fees . In any litigation, arbitration or court proceeding between the Company and the Warrantholder relating hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs of proceedings incurred in enforcing this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 12(e), attorneys’ fees shall include without limitation fees incurred in connection with the following: (i) contempt proceedings; (ii) discovery; (iii) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with an insolvency proceeding; (iv) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (v) post judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment.

(f) Severability . In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(g) Notices . Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other communication that is required, contemplated, or permitted under this Agreement or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (i) the day of transmission by facsimile or hand delivery if transmission or delivery occurs on a business day at or before 5:00 pm in the time zone of the recipient, or, if transmission or delivery occurs on a non-business day or after such time, the first business day thereafter, or the first business day after deposit with an overnight express service or overnight mail delivery service; or (ii) the third calendar day after deposit in the United States mails, with proper first class postage prepaid, and shall be addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

(i) Headings . The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

(j) No Strict Construction . The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

13


(k) No Waiver . No omission or delay by Warrantholder at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the Company at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Warrantholder is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Warrantholder to enforce such provisions thereafter.

(l) Survival . All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be for the benefit of Warrantholder and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.

(m) Governing Law . This Agreement have been negotiated and delivered to Warrantholder in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Warrantholder in the State of California. Delivery of Preferred Stock to Warrantholder by the Company under this Agreement is due in the State of California.

(n) Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue . All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(o) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial . Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than the Company and the Warrantholder; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between the Company and Warrantholder; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement.

 

14


(p) Judicial Reference . If the waiver of jury trial set forth above is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(q) Prejudgment Relief . In the event Claims are to be resolved by arbitration, either party may seek from a court of competent jurisdiction identified in Section 12(n), any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

(r) Counterparts . This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

The Board and/or the Company shall have complete discretion to modify the terms and provisions of an Option in accordance with Section 12 of this Plan even though such modification may change the Option from an ISO to a NQSO.

ViewRay Incorporated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan

Option to purchase Shares, whether under this Plan or otherwise, may be granted one or more additional Options. If the Board grants an ISO and a NQSO to an Eligible Recipient on the same date, the right of the Eligible Recipient to exercise one such Option shall not be conditioned on his or her failure to exercise the other such Option.

(c) Exercise Price .

With respect to each grant of an ISO to a Participant who is not a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted. With respect to each grant of an ISO to a Participant who is a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Exercise Price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted.

A Stock Incentive Agreement may provide for the exercise of an Option after the employment of an Employee has terminated for any reason whatsoever, including death or disability. The Employee’s rights, if any, upon termination of employment will be set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement. The exercise period of an Option shall be tolled during any period that the Option cannot be exercised because such an exercise would violate an applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, or would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; provided, however , the period during which the Option may otherwise be exercised shall be extended only thirty (30) days after the exercise of the Option first would no longer violate such applicable Federal, state, local or foreign laws or first would no longer jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

(e) Payment . Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised accompanied by full payment for the Shares. Payment for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or, unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, by delivery to the Company of a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be tendered (including a “cashless” or “net share” exercise), or a combination thereof. In addition, unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the Option may be exercised through a brokerage transaction following registration of the Company’s equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act as permitted under the provisions of Regulation T applicable to cashless exercises promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, unless prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Option recipient who is an Insider, a tender of shares or a cashless exercise must (1) have met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) be a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the foregoing exercise payment methods shall be subsequent transactions approved by the original grant of an Option. Except as provided in subparagraph (f) below, payment shall be made at the time that the Option or any part thereof is exercised, and no Shares shall be issued or delivered upon exercise of an Option until full payment has been made by the Participant. The holder of an Option, as such, shall have none of the rights of a stockholder. Notwithstanding the above and unless prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in the sole discretion of the Board, an Option may be exercised as to a portion or all (as determined by the Board) of the number of Shares specified in the Stock Incentive Agreement by delivery to the Company of a promissory note, such promissory note to be executed by the Participant and that shall include, with such other terms and conditions as the Board shall determine, provisions in a form approved by the Board under which: (i) the balance of the aggregate purchase price shall be payable in equal installments over such period and shall bear interest at such rate (that shall not be less than the prime bank loan rate as determined by the Board, that shall be established at the time of exercise, and that must be a market rate based on the rate environment at the date of exercise, taking into account the provisions of Code §7872) as the Board shall approve, and (ii) the

 

ViewRay Incorporated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan

 

11


Participant shall be personally liable for payment of the unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest. Other methods of payment may also be used if approved by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion and provided for under the Stock Incentive Agreement.

(f) Conditions to Exercise of an Option . Each Option granted under the Plan shall vest and shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Board, at any time before complete termination of such Option, may accelerate the time or times at which such Option may vest or be exercised in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option intended to meet the FLSA Exclusion shall not be exercisable for at least six (6) months following the date it is granted, except by reason of death, disability, retirement, a change in corporate ownership or other circumstances permitted under regulations promulgated under the FLSA Exclusion. Furthermore, if the recipient of an Option receives a hardship distribution from a Code §401(k) plan of the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, the Option may not be exercised during the six (6) month period following the hardship distribution, unless the Company determines that such exercise would not jeopardize the tax-qualification of the Code §401(k) plan. The Board may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, vesting or performance-based restrictions, voting restrictions, investment intent restrictions, restrictions on transfer, “first refusal” rights of the Company to purchase Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option prior to their sale to any other person, “drag along” rights requiring the sale of shares to a third party purchaser in certain circumstances, “lock up” type restrictions in the case of an Initial Public Offering of the Company’s stock, rights of the Company to re-purchase Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option, restrictions or limitations or other provisions that would be applied to stockholders under any applicable agreement among the stockholders, and restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and/or under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares. The Board shall also require, as a condition for the acquisition of any Shares by an Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an Option, that the Optionee execute an agreement by which the Optionee agrees to be bound by, and subject to, any agreement(s) among the Company’s stockholders then in effect.

(g) Transferability of Options . An Option shall not be transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant; provided, however, that in the event the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Option, if such Option is a NQSO, such Option may be exercised by such Participant’s legal guardian, legal representative, or other representative whom the Board deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances. The determination of incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the Participant who shall be able to exercise the Option if the Participant is incapacitated shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as

 

ViewRay Incorporated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan

 

12


otherwise provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement, a NQSO may also be transferred by a Participant as a bona fide gift or through a domestic relations order to any “family member” (as that term is defined in 17 CFR §230.701(c)(3)) of the Participant, and in each case the transferee shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other agreements with the Participant in connection with the exercise of the Option. In the event of such a gift or transfer by domestic relations order, the Participant shall promptly notify the Board of such transfer and deliver to the Board such written documentation as the Board may in its discretion request, including, without limitation, the written acknowledgment of the donee that the donee is subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other agreements with the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Incentive Agreement may provide for more limited transferability than is described above.

(h) Special Provisions for Certain Substitute Options . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, any Option in substitution for a stock option previously issued by another entity, which substitution occurs in connection with a transaction to which Code §424(a) is applicable, may provide for an exercise price computed in accordance with Code §424(a) and the regulations thereunder and may contain such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe to cause such substitute Option to contain as nearly as possible the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting and termination provisions) as those contained in the previously issued stock option being replaced thereby.

(i) ISO Tax Treatment Requirements . With respect to any Option that purports to be an ISO, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant of such Option) of stock with respect to which such Option is exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00), such Option shall not be treated as an ISO in accordance with Code §422(d). The rule of the preceding sentence is applied in the order in which Options are granted. Also, with respect to any Option that purports to be an ISO, such Option shall not be treated as an ISO if the Participant disposes of shares acquired thereunder within two (2) years from the date of the granting of the Option or within one (1) year of the exercise of the Option, or if the Participant has not met the requirements of Code §422(a)(2).

(j) Potential Repricing of Stock Options . With respect to any one or more Options granted pursuant to, and under, this Plan, the Board may determine that the repricing of all or any portion of such existing outstanding Options is appropriate without the need for any additional approval of the Stockholders of the Company. For this purpose, “repricing” of Options shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following actions (or any similar action): (1) lowering the Exercise Price of an existing Option; (2) any action which would be treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; or (3) canceling of an existing Option at a time when its Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying stock subject to such Option, in exchange for another Option, a Restricted Stock Award, or other equity in the Company.

7.3 Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights .

(a) Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights . A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with all or any portion of a previously or contemporaneously granted Option or not in connection with an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive upon exercise or payment the excess of the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares at the time of exercise, over a SAR Exercise Price that shall be not less than the Exercise Price for that number of Shares in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with a previously or contemporaneously granted Option, or in the case of any other Stock Appreciation Right, not less than eighty-five (85%) of the Fair Market Value of that number of Shares at the time the Stock Appreciation Right was granted. Any Stock Appreciation Right that is intended to avoid taxation under Code §409A as a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” must be granted with a SAR Exercise Price equivalent to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the date of such grant, consistent with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv), and any other applicable guidance or regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service. The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall result in a pro rata surrender of the related Option to the extent the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised.

(b) Payment . Upon exercise or payment of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Company shall pay to the Participant the appreciation in cash or Shares (at the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of payment or exercise) as provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board may determine. To the extent that a Stock Appreciation Right is paid in cash, it shall nonetheless be deemed paid in Shares for purposes of Section 3 hereof.

(c) Conditions to Exercise . Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Board, at any time before complete termination of such Stock Appreciation Right, may accelerate the time or times at which such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part. Furthermore, if the recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right receives a hardship distribution from a Code §401(k) plan of the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, the Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised during the six (6) month period following the hardship distribution, unless the Company determines that such exercise would not jeopardize the tax-qualification of the Code §401(k) plan. The exercise period of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be tolled during any period that the Stock Appreciation Right cannot be exercised because such an exercise would violate an applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, or would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; provided, however, the period during which the Stock Appreciation Right may otherwise be exercised shall be extended only thirty (30) days after the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right first would no longer violate such applicable Federal, state, local or foreign laws or first would no longer jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Board shall also require, as a condition for the acquisition of any Shares by a Stock Appreciation Rights recipient pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, that the Stock Appreciation Right recipient execute an agreement by which the Stock Appreciation Right recipient agrees to be bound by, and subject to, any agreement(s) among the Company’s stockholders then in effect.

(e) Transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights . No Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Incentive Agreement, all Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable, during the Participants lifetime, only by the Participant, except that in the event the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right, such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by such Participant’s legal guardian, legal representative, or other representative whom. the Board deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances. The determination of incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the Participant shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement, (A) a Stock Appreciation Right which is granted in connection with the grant of a NQSO may be transferred, but only with the NQSQ, and (B) a Stock Appreciation Right which is not granted in connection with the grant of a NQSO, may be transferred by the Participant as a bona fide gift or through a domestic relations order to any “family member” (as that term is defined in 17 CFR §230.701(c)(3)) of the Participant, and in each case the transferee shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other agreements with the Participant in connection with the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

(g) Potential Repricing of SARs . With respect to any one or more Stock Appreciation Rights granted pursuant to, and under, this Plan, the Board may determine that the repricing of all or any portion of such existing outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights is appropriate without the need for any additional approval of the Stockholders of the Company. For this purpose, “repricing” of Stock Appreciation Rights shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following actions (or any similar action): (1) lowering the. Exercise Price of an existing Stock Appreciation Right; (2) any action which would be treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; or (3) canceling of an existing Stock Appreciation Right at a time when its Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying stock subject to such Stock Appreciation Right, in exchange for another Stock Appreciation Right, a Restricted Stock Award, or other equity in the Company.

(d) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed RSU as of a specified Action Effective Date and notify the holder of such RSU of such action, but only if the Fair Market Value of the Shares that were subject to such Non-Assumed RSU determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting) is zero.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the recipient of a Non-Assumed RSU is an Insider, payment of cash in lieu of whole or fractional Shares or shares of a successor may only be made to the extent that such payment (1) has met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) is a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company as a result of the grant of a Stock Incentive to him or to her under this Plan or his or her exercise of such Stock Incentive pending the actual delivery of Shares subject to such Stock Incentive to such Participant.

14.2 No Guarantee of Continued Relationship . The grant of a Stock Incentive to a Participant under this Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment or a contract to perform services and shall not confer on a Participant any rights upon his or her termination of employment or relationship with the Company in addition to those rights, if any, expressly set forth in the Stock Incentive Agreement that evidences his or her Stock Incentive.

14.3 Withholding . The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company as a condition precedent for the fulfillment of any Stock Incentive, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan and/or any action taken by a Participant with respect to a Stock Incentive.

Unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the withholding of shares to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements shall be a subsequent transaction approved by the original grant of a Stock Incentive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payment of withholding taxes be made by a retention of Shares by the Company unless the Company retains only Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.

14.4 Notification of Disqualifying Dispositions of ISO Options . If a Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an Option that is an ISO on or

(b) The Optionee may exercise the Option pursuant to any method or methods set forth in, or permitted under, the Plan, provided that it shall be a condition precedent to any such exercise of the Option that Optionee shall have executed and delivered to the Company a counterpart signature page or instrument of adherence, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to each of (x) the Fifth Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement by and among the Company, and the various stockholders party thereto, dated June 7, 2013, as amended from time to time, and (y) the Fifth Amended and Restated Voting Agreement by and among the Company and the various stockholders party thereto, dated June 7, 2013, as amended from time to time.

Each stock certificate duly prepared and delivered by the


Company pursuant to this Section 5(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “ Purchased Shares Certificate ”. Each Purchased Shares Certificate (or other stock certificate) representing any issued and outstanding Shares that are Unvested Shares shall be endorsed with the legends set forth in Section 9(c) and Section 10(d) hereof, and each Purchased Shares Certificate (or other stock certificate) representing only issued and outstanding Shares that are Vested Shares (and no issued and outstanding Unvested Shares) shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 10(d) hereof. Each Purchased Shares Certificate (or other stock certificate) representing any issued and outstanding Shares that are Unvested Shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Holder to be held in escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof.

6. Vesting of Shares .

(a) Vesting Schedule . Subject to all of the provisions of this Section 6 and to any applicable provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, (x) the provisions of Sections 7.2(g), 7.2(i), 7.2(j), 11.1 and 14.3 of the Plan to the extent applicable to the Shares and (y) the acceleration provisions, if any, set forth in the Plan to the extent applicable to the Shares), the Shares shall vest in              monthly installments on the first calendar day of each month following          until such Shares have become vested in full. For purposes of implementing the provisions of this Section 6(a), all Shares regardless of when they become subject to the Option or when purchased by the Optionee upon exercise of the Option shall be deemed to have become subject to the Option and purchased by the Optionee on the Grant Date as if the Optionee had exercised the Option for all of the Shares on the Grant Date.

(b) Vesting Following Termination or Resignation . Except if, and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, (i) upon Termination of the Optionee by the Company with Cause or resignation by the Optionee without Good Reason, none of the Shares that are still subject to vesting pursuant to Section 6(a) above as of the effective date of such Termination or resignation shall thereafter vest.

(c) Vesting Following a Change of Control . In the event that (i) a Change of Control occurs during the Optionee’s employment and (ii) the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) without Cause or by the Optionee voluntarily for Good Reason, at any time during the 12 month period following such Change of Control, then, without further action by the Company (or its successor) or the Board, the vesting of all Unvested Shares shall accelerate and all such Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares as of the date of such Termination or resignation.

(d) Delivery of Vested Shares . Vested Shares that are issued and outstanding shall, at the request of the Optionee, be released from the escrow provided for in Section 8 hereof and shall be delivered to the Optionee. Vested Shares that are issued and outstanding shall continue to be subject to applicable restrictions set forth in any other agreements to which the Optionee is a party.

(e) Escrow of Unvested Shares . All Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding shall be held in escrow pursuant to Section 8 below.

After (i) Termination of the Optionee by the Company with Cause or resignation by the Optionee without Good Reason, or (ii) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Optionee’s Termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Optionee with Good Reason, regardless of whether such Termination or resignation is by virtue of the Optionee’s death, or otherwise, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any number of the then Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding and owned or held by the Optionee, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. The Company may exercise such repurchase right by delivering to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such Termination or resignation, a notice (the “ Notice ”) of the Company’s intention to exercise its repurchase right under this Section 7, specifying the number of such Unvested Shares that the Company desires to repurchase, whereupon, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall become legally obligated to repurchase from the Optionee, and the Optionee shall become legally obligated to sell to the Company, at the Closing (as such term is defined below), the number of Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, and the Company shall not be required after delivery of the Notice to treat the Optionee as owner of the Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, to accord the right to vote to the Optionee with respect thereto or to pay dividends thereon. The purchase price per share for all of the Unvested Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be the purchase price originally paid by the Optionee to the Company for each of such Unvested Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section II hereof), payable, at the election of the Company, in cash or through the cancellation of indebtedness. The closing (the “ Closing ”) of the repurchase by the Company of all or any number of Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 shall take place at the offices of the Company at such time and on such date as the Company shall specify in the Notice, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such Termination or resignation. At the Closing, the Optionee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, against payment by the Company of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. In the event that the Company has a right to repurchase any Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 and elects not to, or fails to, repurchase all or a portion of such Unvested Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, all of such Unvested Shares not so repurchased shall, thereafter, be treated as Vested Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.

8. Escrow of Unvested Shares .

(a) Escrow Holder . Each stock certificate representing issued and outstanding Unvested Shares shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Holder, together with a stock assignment executed in blank by the Optionee with respect to the Unvested Shares represented by such stock certificate. Each stock certificate representing Unvested Shares shall be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 8 until all of such Unvested Shares become fully vested pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 6 or Section 7 hereof or until all of such Unvested Shares are repurchased by the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, whichever occurs earlier.

(b) Rights of Optionee with respect to Unvested Shares held in Escrow . Subject to the terms hereof and the terms of any other agreements to which the Optionee is a party, the Optionee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to all Unvested Shares


that are issued and outstanding while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote such Unvested Shares and receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in such Unvested Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of his/her ownership of such Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and included thereafter as “Unvested Shares” for purposes of this Agreement.

The Escrow Holder shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed by him to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Holder shall not be personally liable for any act he may do or refrain from doing hereunder as Escrow Holder or as attorney-in-fact for the Optionee, provided that the Escrow Holder acts or refrains from acting in good faith and in the exercise of his own good judgment, and any act that he does or refrains from doing pursuant to the advice of his own attorneys, who may be counsel to the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(d) Duties of the Escrow Holder .

(i) In the event of any repurchase of Unvested Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Escrow Holder shall take all steps necessary to consummate such repurchase, including, but not limited to, presentment of stock certificates representing the Unvested Shares subject to such repurchase, together with stock powers executed by or in the name of the Optionee appropriately completed by the Escrow Holder, to the Company or its transfer agent with irrevocable instructions to register the transfer of such Unvested Shares into the name of the Company or its designee. The Optionee hereby appoints the Escrow Holder his irrevocable attorney-in-fact to execute in his name, acknowledge and deliver all stock powers and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable with respect to the repurchase of any Unvested Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 7 hereof.

(ii) Upon the vesting of any Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding, the Escrow Holder shall, at the request of the Optionee, either (i) promptly deliver to the Optionee the certificate or certificates representing such Unvested Shares that have become vested or (ii) promptly cause a new certificate endorsed with the appropriate legends to be issued for such Unvested Shares that have become vested and shall deliver such certificate to the Optionee.

(iii) The Escrow Holder may, but need not, submit a memorandum to the Optionee and to the Company setting forth action the Escrow Holder intends to take with respect to the escrow of any Unvested Shares and requesting the parties to acknowledge the propriety of the intended action. If, in any such case, either party fails or refuses to acknowledge the propriety of the intended action, the Escrow Holder may seek the advice of counsel, who may be counsel to the Company, and any action taken in accordance with the written advice of such


counsel shall be full protection to the Escrow Holder in respect thereto against any person. It is agreed that in any event the Escrow Holder shall not be liable for any action or failure to act taken in good faith, and that his liability shall be limited to actions or inaction constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(iv) It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery, ownership or right of possession of any of the Unvested Shares held in escrow by the Escrow Holder hereunder, he is authorized and directed to retain in his possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said Unvested Shares until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but he shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.

(v) The Escrow Holder is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In case the Escrow Holder obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree, he shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(vi) The parties hereto understand that the Escrow Holder is legal counsel to the Company, and that said counsel may continue to act as such in the event of any dispute in connection with this Agreement or any other transaction contemplated herein or affected hereby.

(vii) By signing this Agreement, the Escrow Holder becomes a party to this Agreement only for the purposes of this Section 8.

(e) Change of Duties . The Escrow Holder’s duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified, or revoked only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company may at any time, at its option, elect to terminate this escrow by notice to the Optionee and the Escrow Holder.

(f) Costs and Fees . All reasonable costs, fees and disbursements incurred by the Escrow Holder in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder shall be borne by the Company.

(b) No Transfers of Unvested Shares . Except for (i) the escrow described in Section 8 above or (ii) the transfer of any Unvested Shares to the Company as contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Unvested Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way until such Unvested Shares have become vested pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 6 or Section 7 hereof.

(c) Legend for Unvested Shares . The certificates evidencing any of the issued and outstanding Unvested Shares shall be endorsed with a legend, in addition to any other legend required by any other agreements to which the Optionee is a party, substantially as follows:

“THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AND REVERSE VESTING AGREEMENT DATED AS OF                  , AND TO THE RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER CONTAINED THEREIN. A COPY OF SUCH INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AND REVERSE VESTING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO ANY INTERESTED PARTY UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(d) Transfers in Violation of this Agreement . The Company shall not be required to transfer any of the Unvested Shares on its books which shall purportedly have been transferred.

(e) Additional Restrictions on Transfer . The Optionee hereby acknowledges that any issued and outstanding Unvested Shares that become vested pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 6 or Section 7 hereof, and any and all beneficial interest in such Vested Shares, shall continue to be subject to any restrictions on transfer set forth in any other agreement entered into by Optionee and the Company or set forth in the Plan.

10. Compliance with Securities Laws .

(a) Pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan, it shall be a condition to the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option and purchase any Option Shares that the Company may, in its discretion, require (x) that either (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act, with respect to the Option Shares proposed to be purchased shall be in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the proposed purchase shall be exempt from registration under that Act and the Optionee shall have made such undertakings and agreements with the Company as the Company may reasonably require, and (y) that such other steps, if any, as counsel for the Company shall consider necessary to comply with any law applicable to the issue of such shares by the Company shall have been taken by the Company or the Optionee, or both.

(b) The Optionee represents and warrants that any Shares acquired by him/her or that may be acquired by him/her are being or will be, as the case may be, acquired for his/her own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.


(c) The parties agree that none of the Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (including, without limitation, by operation of law) unless and until (i) such Shares or such beneficial interest, as the case may be, proposed to be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of are registered pursuant to an effective registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, or (ii) if required by the Company, the Company shall have received an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, from the Company’s legal counsel to the effect that the sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of such Shares or such beneficial interest, as the case may be, does not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(d) In addition to any other legends that the Company may deem appropriate, stock certificates representing any issued and outstanding Shares shall be endorsed with a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SHARES HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SAID ACT, OR, IF REQUESTED BY THE CORPORATION, THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(e) Optionee understands and agrees that neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall be under any obligation to recognize any transfer of any of the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such transfer would result in violation by the Company of any federal or state law with respect to the offering, issuance or sale of securities.

11. Certain Adjustments . All references in this Agreement to the number and kind of issued and outstanding Shares and to the purchase price for any issued and outstanding Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other change which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. In the event that any such stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other change would cause an adjustment in the number of issued and outstanding Shares that would otherwise result in fractional shares, then such fractional shares shall be disregarded by rounding down to the nearest whole number of issued and outstanding Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase price with respect to any Shares shall never be reduced to a value below any applicable par value of such Shares.


12. Tax Consequences .

(a) Withholding Taxes . It is understood by the parties hereto that the issuance and/or sale of any of the Shares to the Optionee may be deemed compensatory in purpose and in effect and that, as a result, the Optionee may be obligated to pay withholding taxes in respect of such Shares at the time Optionee becomes subject to Federal income taxation with respect to the receipt of such Shares. In the event that such withholding tax obligations arise, the parties hereby agree that the Company shall have no obligation to pay such withholding taxes, that payment of such withholding taxes shall be the exclusive obligation of the Optionee and that, to the extent required under applicable tax laws, the Optionee shall remit such withholding taxes to the Company for purposes of having the Company remit such withholding taxes to the applicable tax authorities. The Optionee agrees on his/her behalf, and on behalf of his/her successors and assigns, to indemnify the Company with respect to any withholding tax payment that the Company is required to make that arises from the issuance and/or sale of any of the Shares to the Optionee.

(b) Section 83(b) Election . Optionee hereby agrees to deliver to the Company a signed copy of any instrument, letter or other document he/she may execute and file with the Internal Revenue Service evidencing his/her election under Section 83(b) of the Code. The Optionee shall deliver such copy of any such instrument of election to the Company within five (5) days after the date on which any such election is required to be made in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the Code or applicable regulations thereunder.

13. Incorporation of Plan Terms . The Option is granted subject to all of the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan and may be amended as provided in the Plan. This Agreement does not set forth all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.

14. Miscellaneous .

(a) Relationship with Optionee . Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement (including, without limitation, the grant of the Option evidenced hereunder or the purchase of any Shares upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Agreement) shall confer on the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, or limiting in any way the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee’s employment or other relationship with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary at any time, for any reason or no reason.

(b) Governing Law: Binding Effect . This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of the Company and any executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, or other legal representative of the Optionee.

Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted to the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, which shall review such dispute in accordance with the Plan.

Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Plan, any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, or terminated, and the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Optionee or, with respect to Section 8, the Company, the Optionee and the Escrow Holder. Any amendment effected in accordance with this subsection (d) shall be binding upon each party and such party’s successors and permitted assigns.

(e) Conflicts . This Agreement is made and entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Plan; in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

(f) Invalidity .

In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall to the extent practicable, be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent of the parties and the business agreement represented by such invalidated term, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

VIEWRAY INCORPORATED

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AND REVERSE VESTING AGREEMENT

This INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AND REVERSE VESTING AGREEMENT, dated as of                      (this “ Agreement ”), among ViewRay Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),                                          (the “ Optionee ”), and                                          , in his capacity as assistant secretary of the Company and escrow holder hereunder (the “ Escrow Holder ”).

1. Definitions . For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings provided therefor below in this Section 1:

Common Stock ” shall mean the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share.

Option Shares ” shall mean (i) at the time of the grant of the Option,                  shares of Common Stock and (ii) at the relevant time of reference thereto following the grant of the Option, the number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company that may be purchased by the Optionee at such time upon exercise of the Option pursuant to Section 5 hereof. The number and kind of Option Shares shall be subject to adjustment at any time and from time to time pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Plan. For purposes of clarification, upon consummation of the purchase by the Optionee of any Option Shares upon exercise of the Option pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 5 hereof, such Option Shares shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, cease to be Option Shares and shall be Purchased Option Shares.

Plan ” shall mean the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time. A copy of the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan in effect on the date of this Agreement is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A hereto.

Purchased Option Shares ” shall mean, as of the relevant time of reference thereto, those Option Shares that have been purchased by the Optionee at such time or at any time prior thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof.

Shares ” shall mean, collectively, (i) the Option Shares, (ii) the Purchased Option Shares, and (iii) all shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company or any other issuer, or any other securities of the Company or any other issuer, that are issued in exchange for, upon exercise or conversion of, or in respect of, the Purchased Option Shares or any of the securities referred to in this clause (in each case, whether by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification, reorganization, or any other means).

Termination ” shall mean termination for any reason of the Optionee’s association with the Company as an employee, consultant, officer, and/or director, as the case may be; provided, however, that a transition from one type of aforementioned association to another without an intervening lapse in association shall not be a termination of the Optionee’s association with the Company for the purposes of this Agreement.


Unvested Shares ” shall mean, at the relevant time of reference thereto, those Shares that have not vested on or prior to such time pursuant to Section 6 and Section 7 hereof.

Vested Shares ” shall mean, at the relevant time of reference thereto, those Shares that have vested on or prior to such time pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7 hereof.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

2. Grant of Option . Pursuant to the Plan, the Company grants to the Optionee an option (the “ Option ”) to purchase from the Company all or any number of the Option Shares at a purchase price of $              per share (the “ Exercise Price ”). The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment at any time and from time to time pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Plan. The Option is granted as of                      (the “ Grant Date ”).

3. Character of Option . The Option is intended to be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”). However, incentive stock option treatment requires compliance with a variety of factors, and the Company can give no assurance that the Option will, in fact, be treated as an incentive stock option.

4. Duration of Option . Unless subject to earlier expiration or termination pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Option shall expire on the earlier of, (i) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date, and (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day following a Termination.

5. Exercise of Option .

(a) Until its expiration or termination pursuant to Section 4 above, the Option may be exercised, at any time and from time to time, for all or any number of the Option Shares; provided, however, that, during the period from and after a Termination until the expiration or termination of the Option pursuant to Section 4 above, the Option may not be exercised with respect to any Option Shares that have not vested pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 6 below as of the effective date of such Termination.

(b) The Optionee may exercise the Option pursuant to any method or methods set forth in, or permitted under, the Plan, provided that it shall be a condition precedent to any such exercise of the Option that Optionee shall have executed and delivered to the Company a counterpart signature page or instrument of adherence, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to each of (x) the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement by and among the Company, and the various stockholders party thereto, dated July 14, 2010, as amended from time to time, and (y) the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement by and among the Company and the various stockholders party thereto, dated July 14, 2010, as amended from time to time.

 

2


(c) Each time that the Optionee duly and properly exercises the Option, the Company shall duly prepare and deliver to Optionee a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Optionee, representing the number of Purchased Option Shares with respect to which the Optionee exercised the Option. Each stock certificate duly prepared and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “ Purchased Shares Certificate ”. Each Purchased Shares Certificate (or other stock certificate) representing any issued and outstanding Shares that are Unvested Shares shall be endorsed with the legends set forth in Section 9(c) and Section 10(d) hereof, and each Purchased Shares Certificate (or other stock certificate) representing only issued and outstanding Shares that are Vested Shares (and no issued and outstanding Unvested Shares) shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 10(d) hereof. Each Purchased Shares Certificate (or other stock certificate) representing any issued and outstanding Shares that are Unvested Shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Holder to be held in escrow pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof.

6. Vesting of Shares .

(a) Vesting Schedule . Subject to all of the provisions of this Section 6 and to any applicable provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, (x) the provisions of Sections 7.2(g), 7.2(i), 7.2(j), 11.1 and 14.3 of the Plan to the extent applicable to the Shares and (y) the acceleration provisions, if any, set forth in the Plan to the extent applicable to the Shares), the Shares shall vest in              monthly installments on the first calendar day of each month following                      until such Shares have become vested in full. For purposes of implementing the provisions of this Section 6(a), all Shares regardless of when they become subject to the Option or when purchased by the Optionee upon exercise of the Option shall be deemed to have become subject to the Option and purchased by the Optionee on the Grant Date as if the Optionee had exercised the Option for all of the Shares on the Grant Date.

(b) No Further Vesting Following Termination . Except if and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, upon Termination for any reason or for no reason, regardless of whether such Termination is effected by voluntary resignation by the Optionee, by the Company, by virtue of the Optionee’s death, or otherwise, none of the Shares that are still subject to vesting pursuant to Section 6(a) above as of the effective date of such Termination shall thereafter vest.

(c) Delivery of Vested Shares . Vested Shares that are issued and outstanding shall, at the request of the Optionee, be released from the escrow provided for in Section 8 hereof and shall be delivered to the Optionee. Vested Shares that are issued and outstanding shall continue to be subject to applicable restrictions set forth in any other agreements to which the Optionee is a party.

(d) Escrow of Unvested Shares . All Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding shall be held in escrow pursuant to Section 8 below.

7. Repurchase Right . In the event of a Termination for any reason or for no reason, regardless of whether such Termination is effected by voluntary resignation by the Optionee, by the Company, by virtue of the Optionee’s death, or otherwise, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any number of the then Unvested Shares that are

 

3


issued and outstanding and owned or held by the Optionee, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. The Company may exercise such repurchase right by delivering to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such Termination, a notice (the “ Notice ”) of the Company’s intention to exercise its repurchase right under this Section 7, specifying the number of such Unvested Shares that the Company desires to repurchase, whereupon, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall become legally obligated to repurchase from the Optionee, and the Optionee shall become legally obligated to sell to the Company, at the Closing (as such term is defined below), the number of Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, and the Company shall not be required after delivery of the Notice to treat the Optionee as owner of the Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, to accord the right to vote to the Optionee with respect thereto or to pay dividends thereon. The purchase price per share for all of the Unvested Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be the purchase price originally paid by the Optionee to the Company for each of such Unvested Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11 hereof), payable, at the election of the Company, in cash or through the cancellation of indebtedness. The closing (the “ Closing ”) of the repurchase by the Company of all or any number of Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 shall take place at the offices of the Company at such time and on such date as the Company shall specify in the Notice, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of termination. At the Closing, the Optionee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, against payment by the Company of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. In the event that the Company has a right to repurchase any Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 and elects not to, or fails to, repurchase all or a portion of such Unvested Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, all of such Unvested Shares not so repurchased shall, thereafter, be treated as Vested Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.

8. Escrow of Unvested Shares .

(a) Escrow Holder . Each stock certificate representing issued and outstanding Unvested Shares shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Holder, together with a stock assignment executed in blank by the Optionee with respect to the Unvested Shares represented by such stock certificate. Each stock certificate representing Unvested Shares shall be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 8 until all of such Unvested Shares become fully vested pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 6 or Section 7 hereof or until all of such Unvested Shares are repurchased by the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, whichever occurs earlier.

(b) Rights of Optionee with respect to Unvested Shares held in Escrow . Subject to the terms hereof and the terms of any other agreements to which the Optionee is a party, the Optionee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to all Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote such Unvested Shares and receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in such Unvested Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of his/her ownership of such Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and included thereafter as “Unvested Shares” for purposes of this Agreement.

 

4


(c) Obligations and Liabilities of the Escrow Holder . The Escrow Holder shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed by him to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Holder shall not be personally liable for any act he may do or refrain from doing hereunder as Escrow Holder or as attorney-in-fact for the Optionee, provided that the Escrow Holder acts or refrains from acting in good faith and in the exercise of his own good judgment, and any act that he does or refrains from doing pursuant to the advice of his own attorneys, who may be counsel to the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(d) Duties of the Escrow Holder .

(i) In the event of any repurchase of Unvested Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Escrow Holder shall take all steps necessary to consummate such repurchase, including, but not limited to, presentment of stock certificates representing the Unvested Shares subject to such repurchase, together with stock powers executed by or in the name of the Optionee appropriately completed by the Escrow Holder, to the Company or its transfer agent with irrevocable instructions to register the transfer of such Unvested Shares into the name of the Company or its designee. The Optionee hereby appoints the Escrow Holder his irrevocable attorney-in-fact to execute in his name, acknowledge and deliver all stock powers and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable with respect to the repurchase of any Unvested Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 7 hereof.

(ii) Upon the vesting of any Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding, the Escrow Holder shall, at the request of the Optionee, either (i) promptly deliver to the Optionee the certificate or certificates representing such Unvested Shares that have become vested or (ii) promptly cause a new certificate endorsed with the appropriate legends to be issued for such Unvested Shares that have become vested and shall deliver such certificate to the Optionee.

(iii) The Escrow Holder may, but need not, submit a memorandum to the Optionee and to the Company setting forth action the Escrow Holder intends to take with respect to the escrow of any Unvested Shares and requesting the parties to acknowledge the propriety of the intended action. If, in any such case, either party fails or refuses to acknowledge the propriety of the intended action, the Escrow Holder may seek the advice of counsel, who may be counsel to the Company, and any action taken in accordance with the written advice of such counsel shall be full protection to the Escrow Holder in respect thereto against any person. It is agreed that in any event the Escrow Holder shall not be liable for any action or failure to act taken in good faith, and that his liability shall be limited to actions or inaction constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

5


(iv) It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery, ownership or right of possession of any of the Unvested Shares held in escrow by the Escrow Holder hereunder, he is authorized and directed to retain in his possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said Unvested Shares until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but he shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.

10. Compliance with Securities Laws .

(a) Pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan, it shall be a condition to the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option and purchase any Option Shares that the Company may, in its discretion, require (x) that either (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the Option Shares proposed to be purchased shall be in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the proposed purchase shall be exempt from registration under that Act and the Optionee shall have made such undertakings and agreements with the Company as the Company may reasonably require, and (y) that such other steps, if any, as counsel for the Company shall consider necessary to comply with any law applicable to the issue of such shares by the Company shall have been taken by the Company or the Optionee, or both.

(b) The Optionee represents and warrants that any Shares acquired by him/her or that may be acquired by him/her are being or will be, as the case may be, acquired for his/her own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SHARES HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SAID ACT, OR, IF REQUESTED BY THE CORPORATION, THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(e) Optionee understands and agrees that neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall be under any obligation to recognize any transfer of any of the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such transfer would result in violation by the Company of any federal or state law with respect to the offering, issuance or sale of securities.

11. Certain Adjustments . All references in this Agreement to the number and kind of issued and outstanding Shares and to the purchase price for any issued and outstanding Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other change which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. In the event that any such stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other change would cause an adjustment in the number of issued and outstanding Shares that would otherwise result in fractional shares, then such fractional shares shall be disregarded by rounding down to the nearest whole number of issued and outstanding Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase price with respect to any Shares shall never be reduced to a value below any applicable par value of such Shares.

12. Tax Consequences .

(a) Withholding Taxes . It is understood by the parties hereto that the issuance and/or sale of any of the Shares to the Optionee may be deemed compensatory in purpose and in effect and that, as a result, the Optionee may be obligated to pay withholding taxes in respect of such Shares at the time Optionee becomes subject to Federal income taxation with respect to the

 

8


receipt of such Shares. In the event that such withholding tax obligations arise, the parties hereby agree that the Company shall have no obligation to pay such withholding taxes, that payment of such withholding taxes shall be the exclusive obligation of the Optionee and that, to the extent required under applicable tax laws, the Optionee shall remit such withholding taxes to the Company for purposes of having the Company remit such withholding taxes to the applicable tax authorities. The Optionee agrees on his/her behalf, and on behalf of his/her successors and assigns, to indemnify the Company with respect to any withholding tax payment that the Company is required to make that arises from the issuance and/or sale of any of the Shares to the Optionee.

(b) Section 83(b) Election . Optionee hereby agrees to deliver to the Company a signed copy of any instrument, letter or other document he/she may execute and file with the Internal Revenue Service evidencing his/her election under Section 83(b) of the Code.

14. Miscellaneous .

(a) Relationship with Optionee . Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement (including, without limitation, the grant of the Option evidenced hereunder or the purchase of any Shares upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Agreement) shall confer on the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, or limiting in any way the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee’s employment or other relationship with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary at any time, for any reason or no reason.

The Escrow Holder shall not be personally liable for any act he may do or refrain from doing hereunder as Escrow Holder or as attorney-in-fact for the Optionee, provided that the Escrow Holder acts or refrains from acting in good faith and in the exercise of his own good judgment, and any act that he does or refrains from doing pursuant to the advice of his own attorneys, who may be counsel to the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(iii) The Escrow Holder may, but need not, submit a memorandum to the Optionee and to the Company setting forth action the Escrow Holder intends to take with respect to the escrow of any Unvested Shares and requesting the parties to acknowledge the propriety of the intended action.

(b) The Optionee represents and warrants that any Shares acquired by him/her or that may be acquired by him/her are being or will be, as the case may be, acquired for his/her own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.

(c) The parties agree that none of the Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (including, without limitation, by operation of law) unless and until (i) such Shares or such


beneficial interest, as the case may be, proposed to be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of are registered pursuant to an effective registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or (ii) if required by the Company, the Company shall have received an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, from the Company ·s legal counsel to the effect that the sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of such Shares or such beneficial interest, as the case may be, does not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(d) In addition to any other legends that the Company may deem appropriate, stock certificates representing any issued and outstanding Shares shall be endorsed with a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SHARES HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SAID ACT, OR, IF REQUESTED BY THE CORPORATION, THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(e) Optionee understands and agrees that neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall be under any obligation to recognize any transfer of any of the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such transfer would result in violation by the Company of any federal or state law with respect to the offering, issuance or sale of securities.

11. Certain Adjustments . All references in this Agreement to the number and kind of issued and outstanding Shares and to the purchase price for any issued and outstanding Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other change which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. In the event that any such stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other change would cause an adjustment in the number of issued and outstanding Shares that would otherwise result in fractional shares, then such fractional shares shall be disregarded by rounding down to the nearest whole number of issued and outstanding Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase price with respect to any Shares shall never be reduced to a value below any applicable par value of such Shares.

12. Tax Consequences .

(a) Withholding Taxes . It is understood by the parties hereto that the issuance and/or sale of any of the Shares to the Optionee may be deemed compensatory in purpose and in effect and that, as a result, the Optionee may be obligated to pay withholding taxes in respect of such Shares at the time Optionee becomes subject to Federal income taxation with respect to the


receipt of such Shares. In the event that such withholding tax obligations arise, the parties hereby agree that the Company shall have no obligation to pay such withholding taxes, that payment of such withholding taxes shall be the exclusive obligation of the Optionee and that, to the extent required under applicable tax laws, the Optionee shall remit such withholding taxes to the Company for purposes of having the Company remit such withholding taxes to the applicable tax authorities. The Optionee agrees on his/her behalf, and on behalf of his/her successors and assigns, to indemnify the Company with respect to any withholding tax payment that the Company is required to make that arises from the issuance and/or sale of any of the Shares to the Optionee.

(b) Section 83(b) Election . Optionee hereby agrees to deliver to the Company a signed copy of any instrument, letter or other document he/she may execute and file with the Internal Revenue Service evidencing his/her election under Section 83(b) of the Code. The Optionee shall deliver such copy of any such instrument of election to the Company within five (5) days after the date on which any such election is required to be made in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the Code or applicable regulations thereunder.

13. Incorporation of Plan Terms . The Option is granted subject to all of the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan and may be amended as provided in the Plan. This Agreement does not set forth all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.

14. Miscellaneous .

(a) Relationship with Optionee . Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement (including, without limitation, the grant of the Option evidenced hereunder or the purchase of any Shares upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Agreement) shall confer on the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, or limiting in any way the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee’s employment or other relationship with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary at any time, for any reason or no reason.

(b) Governing Law; Binding Effect .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares added to the Share Limit pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) or Section 3.1(a)(iii) hereof shall be available for issuance as Incentive Stock Options only to the extent that making such Shares available for issuance as Incentive Stock Options would not cause any Incentive Stock Option to cease to qualify as such. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Awards that provide for the delivery of Shares subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the Share Limit if such Awards provide for the forfeiture or cash settlement of such Awards to the extent that insufficient Shares remain under the Share Limit in this Section 3.1 at the time that Shares would otherwise be issued in respect of such Award.

(b) If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited or expire or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan and shall be added back to the Share Limit.

10


issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

(c) Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

ARTICLE 5.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS INTENDED TO QUALIFY AS PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION.

5.1 Purpose . The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine at the time an Award is granted or at any time thereafter whether any Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee, in its sole discretion, decides to grant such an Award to an Eligible Individual that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, then the provisions of this Article 5 shall control over any contrary provision contained in the Plan. The Administrator may in its sole discretion (i) grant Awards to other Eligible Individuals that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 5 and that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and (ii) subject any Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation to additional conditions and restrictions unrelated to any Performance Criteria or Performance Goals (including, without limitation, continued employment or service requirements) to the extent such Awards otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Article 5 with respect to the Performance Criteria and Performance Goals applicable thereto. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant, the Performance Criteria with respect to an Award intended to be Performance-Based Compensation payable to a Covered Employee shall be determined on the basis of Applicable Accounting Standards.

 

13


5.2 Applicability . The grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual for a particular Performance Period shall not require the grant of an Award to such Eligible Individual in any subsequent Performance Period and the grant of an Award to any one Eligible Individual shall not require the grant of an Award to any other Eligible Individual in such period or in any other period.

5.3 Types of Awards . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant any Award to an Eligible Individual intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, including, without limitation, Restricted Stock the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals, Restricted Stock Units that vest and become payable upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals and any Performance Awards described in Article 10 hereof that vest or become exercisable or payable upon the attainment of one or more specified Performance Goals.

5.4 Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards . To the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted to one or more Eligible Individuals which is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any Performance Period or any designated fiscal period or period of service (or such earlier time as may be required under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Eligible Individuals, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period based on the Performance Goals, and (d) specify the relationship between the Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether and the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned under such Awards, unless otherwise provided in an applicable Program or Award Agreement, the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant, including the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.

5.5 Payment of Performance-Based Awards . Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Program or Award Agreement or pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, as to an Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Holder must be employed by the Company or an Affiliate throughout the applicable Performance Period. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Performance Goals, Program or Award Agreement, a Holder shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to such Awards for a Performance Period only if and to the extent the Performance Goals for such applicable Performance Period are achieved.

5.6 Additional Limitations . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, any Award which is granted to an Eligible Individual and is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code or any regulations

 

14


or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as Performance-Based Compensation, and the Plan, the Program and the Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

ARTICLE 6.

GRANTING OF OPTIONS

6.1 Granting of Options to Eligible Individuals . The Administrator is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals from time to time, in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may determine which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan.

6.2 Qualification of Incentive Stock Options . No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or any subsidiary corporation (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) of the Company. No person who qualifies as a Greater Than 10% Stockholder may be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan may be modified by the Administrator, with the consent of the Holder, to disqualify such Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year under the Plan, and all other plans of the Company and any subsidiary or parent corporation thereof (each as defined in Section 424(f) and (e) of the Code, respectively), exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the respective options were granted. In addition, to the extent that any Options otherwise fail to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

6.3 Option Exercise Price . Except as provided in Article 14 hereof, the exercise price per Share subject to each Option shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or, as to Incentive Stock Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). In addition, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, such price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code).

6.4 Option Term . The term of each Option (the “ Option Term ”) shall be set by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided , however , that the Option Term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, or five (5) years from the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder. The Administrator shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service,

 

15


during which the Holder has the right to exercise the vested Options, which time period may not extend beyond the last day of the Option Term. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A or Section 422 of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder, the Administrator may extend the Option Term of any outstanding Option, may extend the time period during which vested Options may be exercised following any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend any other term or condition of such Option relating to such a Termination of Service.

6.5 Option Vesting .

(a) The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, an Option vests in the Holder shall be set by the Administrator and the Administrator may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Affiliate, any of the Performance Criteria, or any other criteria selected by the Administrator. At any time after the grant of an Option, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, accelerate the vesting of the Option, including following a Termination of Service; provided, that in no event shall an Option become exercisable following its expiration, termination or forfeiture.

(b) No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator either in the Program, the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option.

6.6 Substitute Awards . Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6 to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the price per share of the shares subject to such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate exercise price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Administrator) of the shares of the predecessor entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of such shares.

6.7 Substitution of Stock Appreciation Rights . The Administrator may provide in the applicable Program or the Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to substitute a Stock Appreciation Right for such Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such Option; provided that such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable with respect to the same number of Shares for which such substituted Option would have been exercisable, and shall also have the same exercise price, vesting schedule and remaining Option Term as the substituted Option.

 

16


ARTICLE 7.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

7.1 Partial Exercise . An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional Shares and the Administrator may require that, by the terms of the Option, a partial exercise must be with respect to a minimum number of Shares.

7.2 Manner of Exercise . All or a portion of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company, or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator, or his, her or its office, as applicable:

(a) A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

(b) Such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all Applicable Law. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars;

(c) In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator; and

(d) Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes to the stock administrator of the Company for the shares with respect to which the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by Section 12.1 and 12.2 hereof.

7.3 Notification Regarding Disposition . The Holder shall give the Company prompt written or electronic notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option which occurs within (a) two (2) years from the date of granting (including the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) of such Option to such Holder, or (b) one (1) year after the transfer of such shares to such Holder.

ARTICLE 8.

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

8.1 Award of Restricted Stock .

(a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals, and shall determine the terms and conditions, including the restrictions applicable

to each award of Restricted Stock, which terms and conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Plan, and may impose such conditions on the issuance of such Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock; provided , however , that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock to the extent required by Applicable Law.

8.2 Rights as Stockholders . Subject to Section 8.4 hereof, upon issuance of Restricted Stock, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions in the applicable Program or in each individual Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares; provided , however , that, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof. In addition, with respect to a share of Restricted Stock with performance-based vesting, dividends which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that performance-based vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.

8.3 Restrictions . All shares of Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Holders thereof with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of the applicable Program or in each individual Award Agreement, be subject to such restrictions and vesting requirements as the Administrator shall provide. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability and such restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances or based on such criteria as selected by the Administrator, including, without limitation, criteria based on the Holder’s duration of employment, directorship or consultancy with the Company, the Performance Criteria, Company or Affiliate performance, individual performance or other criteria selected by the Administrator. By action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the vesting of such Restricted Stock by removing any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the Program and/or the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.

8.4 Repurchase or Forfeiture of Restricted Stock . Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, if no price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled without consideration. If a price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Holder the unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Stock or such other amount as may be specified in the Program or the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding

 

18


the foregoing, the Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that in the event of certain events, including a Change in Control, the Holder’s death, retirement or disability or any other specified Termination of Service or any other event, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall not lapse, such Restricted Stock shall vest and, if applicable, the Company shall not have a right of repurchase.

8.5 Certificates for Restricted Stock . Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator shall determine. Certificates or book entries evidencing shares of Restricted Stock must include an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. The Company may, in it sole discretion, (a) retain physical possession of any stock certificate evidencing shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and/or (b) require that the stock certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock be held in custody by a designated escrow agent (which may but need not be the Company) until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that the Holder deliver a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to such Restricted Stock.

8.6 Section 83(b) Election . If a Holder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

Except as described in (c) below or in Section 14.2 hereof, the exercise price per Share subject to each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder or the first sentence of this Section 11.4, the Administrator may extend the Stock Appreciation Right Term of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, may extend the time period during which vested Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised following any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend any other term or condition of such Stock Appreciation Right relating to such a Termination of Service.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Holder who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

12.2 Tax Withholding . The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Holder to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Holder’s FICA or employment tax obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Holder arising as a result of the Plan. The Administrator may in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Holder to satisfy such obligations by any payment means described in Section 12.1 hereof, including without limitation, by allowing such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the surrender of Shares). The number of Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Shares, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise price or any tax withholding obligation.

12.3 Transferability of Awards .

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 12.3(b) and 12.3(c) hereof:

(i) No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed;

 

25


(ii) No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or the Holder’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed, and any attempted disposition of an Award prior to the satisfaction of these conditions shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by clause (i) of this provision; and

(iii) During the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to such Holder under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Program or Award Agreement, be exercised by the Holder’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12.3(a) hereof, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Holder or a Permitted Transferee of such Holder to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option (unless such Incentive Stock Option is to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option) to any one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee (other than to another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Holder) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Holder (other than the ability to further transfer the Award); and (iii) the Holder (or transferring Permitted Transferee) and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and (C) evidence the transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 12.3(a) hereof, a Holder may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Holder and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Holder’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Program or Award Agreement applicable to the Holder, except to the extent the Plan, the Program and the Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Holder is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Holder’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the

 

26


Holder, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Holder at any time; provided that the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to the Holder’s death.

12.4 Conditions to Issuance of Shares .

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such shares is in compliance with all Applicable Law, and the Shares are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Holder make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with Applicable Law.

(b) All Share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Law. The Administrator may place legends on any Share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares.

(c) The Administrator shall have the right to require any Holder to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

(d) No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding down.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by any Applicable Law, the Company shall not deliver to any Holder certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

12.5 Forfeiture and Claw-Back Provisions . Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Holder to agree by separate written or electronic instrument, that:

(a) (i) Any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award, must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award (whether or not vested) shall

 

27


be forfeited, if (x) a Termination of Service occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or (y) the Holder at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Administrator or (z) the Holder incurs a Termination of Service for “cause” (as such term is defined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, or as set forth in a written agreement relating to such Award between the Company and the Holder); and

(b) All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.

12.6 Repricing . The Administrator shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, have the authority to (i) amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per Share, or (ii) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per Share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, in its sole discretion.

12.7 Leave of Absence . Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Holder shall not cease to be considered an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Consultant, as applicable, in the case of any (a) leave of absence approved by the Company, (b) transfer between locations of the Company or between the Company and any of its Affiliates or any successor thereof, or (c) change in status (Employee to Director, Employee to Consultant, etc.), provided that such change does not affect the specific terms applying to the Holder’s Award.

14.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14.1, the Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without approval of the Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator may, except as provided in Section 14.2 hereof, increase the limits imposed in Section 3.1 hereof on the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan. Except as provided in Section 14.10 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Holder, materially and adversely affect any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Incentive Stock Option be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Effective Date.

14.2 Changes in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company and Other Corporate Events .

(a) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of the Company’s stock or the share price of the Company’s stock other than an Equity Restructuring, the Administrator may make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under the Plan); (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) for which grants are subsequently to be made to new and continuing Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof; (iv) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (v) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan. Any adjustment affecting an Award intended as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 14.2(a) hereof or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any Affiliate of

 

31


the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in Applicable Law, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 14.2 the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested;

(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of the Company’s stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and Awards which may be granted in the future;

(iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Program or Award Agreement; and

(v) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 14.2(a) and 14.2(b) hereof:

(i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted; and/or

 

32


(ii) The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under the Plan).

The adjustments provided under this Section 14.2(c) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company.

(d) Change in Control .

(i) In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation, in each case, as determined by the Administrator.

(ii) In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control and its parents and subsidiaries refuse to assume or substitute for any Award in accordance with Section 14.2(d)(i) hereof, each such non-assumed/substituted Award, except for any Performance Awards, shall become fully vested and, as applicable, exercisable and shall be deemed exercised, immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, and all forfeiture restrictions on any or all such Awards shall lapse at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the vesting of any Performance Awards not assumed in a Change in Control will not be automatically accelerated pursuant to this Section 14.2(d)(ii) and will instead vest pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement upon a Change in Control where the successor corporation and its parents and subsidiaries refuse to assume or substitute for any Award in accordance with Section 14.2(d)(i) hereof. If an Award vests and, as applicable, is exercised in lieu of assumption or substitution in connection with a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Holder of such vesting and any applicable exercise period, and the Award shall terminate upon the Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, if the value of an Award that is terminated in connection with this Section 14.2(d)(ii) is zero or negative at the time of such Change in Control, such Award shall be terminated upon the Change in Control without payment of consideration therefor.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that, within the twelve (12) month period immediately following a Change in Control, a Holder experiences a Termination of Service by the Company for other than Cause or by a Holder for Good Reason, then the vesting and, if applicable, exercisability of that number of Shares equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-unvested Shares subject to the outstanding Awards held by such Holder shall accelerate upon the date of such Termination of Service.

(e) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award, agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(f) With respect to Awards which are granted to Covered Employees and are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, no adjustment or action described in this Section 14.2 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the

 

33


extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, unless the Administrator determines that the Award should not so qualify. No adjustment or action described in this Section 14.2 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.

(g) The existence of the Plan, the Program, the Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(h) In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the Shares or the share price of the Common Stock including any Equity Restructuring, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Company in its sole discretion may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any such transaction.

14.3 Approval of Plan by Stockholders . The Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan. Awards may be granted or awarded prior to such stockholder approval; provided that such Awards shall not be exercisable, shall not vest and the restrictions thereon shall not lapse and no Shares shall be issued pursuant thereto prior to the time when the Plan is approved by the stockholders; and provided , further , that if such approval has not been obtained at the end of said twelve (12) month period, all Awards previously granted or awarded under the Plan shall thereupon be canceled and become null and void.

14.4 No Stockholders Rights . Except as otherwise provided herein, a Holder shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Holder becomes the record owner of such Shares.

14.5 Paperless Administration . In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Holder may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

 

34


14.6 Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans . The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Affiliate, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

14.7 Compliance with Laws . The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Shares and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Law, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

14.8 Titles and Headings, References to Sections of the Code or Exchange Act . The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. References to sections of the Code or the Exchange Act shall include any amendment or successor thereto.

14.9 Governing Law . The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

14.10 Section 409A . To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Program pursuant to which such Award is granted and the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan, the Program and any Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Program and Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or

 

35


preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.

14.11 No Rights to Awards . No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Administrator is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Holders or any other persons uniformly.

14.12 Unfunded Status of Awards . The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Program or Award Agreement shall give the Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

14.13 Indemnification . To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, each member of the Committee or of the Board and any officer or other employee to whom authority to administer any component of the Plan is delegated shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.

The exercise price of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice, without commission or other charge; provided , however , that the price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and Participant is a Greater Than 10% Stockholder as of the Date of Grant, the exercise price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date.

2.3 Consideration to the Company . In consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the

 

A-1


extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant.

ARTICLE 3.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

3.1 Commencement of Exercisability .

(a) Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.11 and 5.17 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) hereof and the Grant Notice, but subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, in the event of a Change in Control the Option shall be treated pursuant to Section 14.2 of the Plan.

3.2 Duration of Exercisability . The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

(a) The Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date;

Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more

 

A-2


than three (3) months after Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

3.5 Tax Indemnity .

(a) Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any Affiliate and Participant’s employing company, if different, from and against any liability for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (a “ Tax Liability ” being any liability for income tax, withholding tax and any other employment related taxes or social security contributions in any jurisdiction) that is attributable to (1) the grant or exercise of, or any benefit derived by Participant from, the Option, (2) the acquisition by Participant of the Stock on exercise of the Option or (3) the disposal of any Stock.

(b) The Option cannot be exercised until Participant has made such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option and/or the acquisition of the Stock by Participant.

(c) Participant hereby acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Liabilities in connection with any aspect of the Option and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of any Award, including the Option, to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Liabilities or achieve any particular tax result.

(a) Cash or check;

(b) With the consent of the Administrator, surrender of shares of Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof; or

(c) Other legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale).

4.5 Conditions to Issuance of Stock . The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the conditions in Section 12.4 of the Plan and following conditions:

(a) The admission of such shares of Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;

(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

4.6 Rights as Stockholder . The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are issued, except as provided in Section 14.2 of the Plan.

Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) unless and until the Option has been exercised, and any attempted disposition thereof prior to exercise shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

 

A-5


(b) During the lifetime of Participant, only Participant may exercise the Option (or any portion thereof), unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or this Agreement, be exercised by Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to the Option upon Participant’s death.

If Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of Participant’s interest in the Option shall not be effective without the prior written consent of Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to Participant’s death.

5.4 Tax Consultation . Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the grant, vesting and/or exercise of the Option, and/or with the purchase or disposition of the shares of Stock subject to the Option.

5.6 Adjustments Upon Specified Events . The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Option in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Stock contemplated by Section 14.2 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Stock), the Administrator shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option, the exercise price of the Option and the kind of securities that may be issued upon exercise of the Option. Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Section 14.2 of the Plan.

Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.7, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to Participant shall, if Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by written notice under this Section 5.7.

5.10 Conformity to Securities Laws . Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all Applicable Law and regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

5.11 Amendment, Suspension and Termination . To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the Option in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.

5.12 Successors and Assigns . The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 5.3 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

5.13 Notification of Disposition . If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Stock acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date with respect to such shares of Stock or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer of such shares of Stock to Participant. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

5.14 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

5.15 Not a Contract of Service Relationship . Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company

 

A-7


or any of its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of Participant’s at any time.

5.16 Entire Agreement . The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

5.17 Section 409A . This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “ Section 409A ”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (or any Exhibits hereto), if at any time the Administrator determines that the Option (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (or any Exhibits hereto), or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Option to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

5.18 Limitation on Participant’s Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to options, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

5.19 Consent to Personal Data Use . Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company is permitted to collect, hold, store, process, modify, transfer, lock or delete certain personal (and sensitive) data in any medium about Participant (i.e., name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, tax identification number and payroll information) as a part of its personnel and other business records for the exclusive purpose of tracking stock option grants, processing stock option exercises and subsequent share transfers and sales, arranging for appropriate tax reporting and withholding and regulatory tracking and reporting purposes and the Company may disclose such information to third parties in the event that such disclosure is in the Company’s view required for the proper tracking of stock option grants, processing stock option exercises and subsequent share transfers and sales, arranging for appropriate tax reporting and withholding and regulatory tracking. For these purposes, this personal data will be transferred to other locations, including locations outside of the European Union and in so-called insecure third-party countries that do not guarantee the data privacy protection level of the European Union.

5.20 Rules Particular To Specific Countries .

(a) Generally . Participant shall, if required by the Administrator, enter into an election with the Company or an Affiliate (in a form approved by the Company) under which any liability to the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) Tax Liability, including, but not limited to, National Insurance Contributions (“ NICs ”) and the Fringe Benefit Tax (“ FBT ”), is transferred to and met by Participant. For purposes of this Section 5.20, Tax Liability shall mean any and all liability under applicable non-U.S. laws, rules or regulations from any income tax, the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) NICs, FBT or similar liability and Participant’s NICs, FBT or similar liability that are attributable to:

 

A-8


(A) the grant or exercise of, or any other benefit derived by Participant from the Option; (B) the acquisition by Participant of the shares of Stock on exercise of the Option; or (C) the disposal of any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option.

Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company has granted to the Participant an award of Restricted Stock (the “ Award ”) under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate, and for other good and valuable consideration. The number of Shares subject to the Award is set forth in the Grant Notice. The Participant is an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliates.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VESTING REQUIREMENTS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE

 

A-1


UNDER THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, BY AND BETWEEN VIEWRAY, INC. AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.”

(d) Escrow . The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint may retain physical custody of any certificates representing the Shares until all of the Restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement lapse or shall have been removed; in such event, the Participant shall not retain physical custody of any certificates representing unvested Shares issued to him or her. The Participant, by acceptance of the Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint, the Company and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of unvested forfeited Shares (or Shares otherwise reacquired by the Company hereunder) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

(e) Removal of Notations; Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting . As soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of any Shares subject to the Award pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any Shares subject to the Award issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Shares subject to the Award which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of Shares as may be permitted pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Plan). The Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances required by the Company. The Shares so delivered shall no longer be subject to the Restrictions hereunder.

2.2 Restrictions .

(a) Forfeiture . Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, any portion of the Award (and the Shares subject thereto) which has not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service (after taking into consideration any accelerated vesting and lapsing of Restrictions which may occur in connection with such Termination of Service (if any)) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company, and the Participant’s rights in any Shares and such portion of the Award shall thereupon lapse and expire. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Restrictions ” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and the exposure to forfeiture set forth in this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions . Subject to Section 2.2(a) above, the Award shall vest and Restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share).

(c) Tax Withholding . As set forth in Section 12.2 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Award. The Company shall not

 

A-2


be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or enter such Shares in book entry form unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Award or the issuance of Shares.

(d) Conditions to Delivery of Shares . Subject to Section 2.1 above, the Shares deliverable under this Award may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or Shares purchased on the open market. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares under this Award prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 12.4 of the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of such Shares shall not be delayed if and to the extent that such delay would result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code. In the event that the Company delays the issuance of such Shares because it reasonably determines that the issuance of such Shares will violate Applicable Law, such issuance shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that issuing such Shares will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii).

(e) To ensure compliance with the Restrictions, the provisions of the charter documents of the Company, and/or Applicable Law and for other proper purposes, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” and other instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Restricted Stock. The Company shall notify the transfer agent as and when the Restrictions lapse.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.16 Entire Agreement . The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3.17 Limitation on the Participant’s Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Shares issuable hereunder.

2.6 Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting .

(a) As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date, unless such RSUs terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.

The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).

Exhibit 10.27

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of             , 20     by and between ViewRay, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                     (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors or officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL expressly provide that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;


WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he or she be so indemnified[; and/.]

[WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a representative of                     , a [Delaware] limited partnership (the “Fund”), and has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by the Fund which Indemnitee and the Fund intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgment and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board.] 1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as applicable, or, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as applicable. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), if any, is at will, and the Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise provided in any written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the Board, or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as applicable, or, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as applicable, as provided in Section 16 hereof.

ii. Change in Board of Directors. During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(iii) or 2(b)(iv)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board;

Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, vote of its stockholders or disinterested directors or applicable law.

Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue

or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with or related to each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter to the fullest extent permitted by law. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

Section 6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any aspect of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

Section 7. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

Section 8. Additional Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4 or 5, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or a participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

(b) For purposes of Section 8(a), the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law” shall include, but not be limited to:

i. to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL, and

ii. to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.

Section 9. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or

(b) for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, or (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); or

(c) except as provided in Section 14(d) of this Agreement, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) such payment arises in connection with any mandatory counterclaim or cross-claim or affirmative defense brought or raised by Indemnitee in any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding), or (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

Section 10. Advances of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (other than Section 14(d)), the Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) not initiated by Indemnitee, and such advancement shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by the Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be so included), whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. In accordance with Section 14(d), advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances

claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. This Section 10 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 9.

Section 11. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof or Indemnitee’s becoming aware thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding, in each case to the extent known to Indemnitee. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company hereunder will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement, except to the extent (solely with respect to the indemnity hereunder) that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

(c) The Company shall not settle any Proceeding (in whole or in part) if such settlement would impose any Expense, judgment, liability, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee which Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

(d) The Company shall have the right to settle any Proceeding, provided that the terms of such settlement include either (i) a full release of Indemnitee by the claimant from all liabilities or potential liabilities under such Proceeding or (ii), in the event such full release is not obtained, the terms of such settlement do not limit any indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights Indemnitee may now, or hereafter, be entitled to under this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the DGCL or otherwise.

Section 12. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested

 

9


Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (D) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied.

(b) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 12(b). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided , however , that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Delaware Court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof and the final disposition of the Proceeding, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under

 

10


Section 12(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(c) If the Company disputes a portion of the amounts for which indemnification is requested, the undisputed portion shall be paid and only the disputed portion withheld pending resolution of any such dispute.

Section 13. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 11(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) Subject to Section 14(e), if the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 12 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided , however , that such sixty (60)-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided , further , that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after

 

11


such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement.

(c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(d) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 13(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 13(d) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

(e) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 14. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) Subject to Section 14(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, 6 or 7 or the last sentence of Section 12(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 8 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vi) in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding

 

12


designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within one hundred eighty(180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 14(a); provided , however , that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of the Company that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company if, in the case of indemnification, Indemnitee is wholly successful on the underlying claims; if Indemnitee is not wholly successful on the underlying claims, then such indemnification shall be only to the extent Indemnitee is successful on such underlying claims or otherwise as permitted by law, whichever is greater.

 

13


(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

Section 15. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

(a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors or otherwise, and (ii) shall be interpreted independently of, and without reference to, any other such rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees or agents of the Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such claim or of the commencement of a Proceeding, as the case may be, to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

14


(d) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(e) [The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Fund and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or any agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms hereof.] [The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.] 2

Section 16. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as applicable, or, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as applicable, or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced (including any appeal thereof) by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement relating thereto. The indemnification and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the

 

(2)   NOTE TO DRAFT : To be included when applicable.

 

15


Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. The Company shall require and shall cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to, by written agreement, expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

Section 17. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

Section 18. Enforcement.

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided , however , that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any directors’ and officers’ insurance maintained by the Company and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder and provided further , that the provisions of this Agreement shall apply retroactively as of the date such Indemnitee began service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as applicable, or, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as applicable.

Section 19. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

16


Section 20. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 21. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received:

(b) If to the Company to:

or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company.

To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

Section 23. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that

Section 24. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

Section 25. Miscellaneous. The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

Pursuant to the Contingent Equity Agreement, ViewRay granted each Recipient a restricted stock award of 125,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement dated January 8, 2008 between ViewRay and each Recipient.

Each party agree to file any demand for arbitration within the time limit established by the applicable statute of limitations for the asserted claims or within one year of the conduct that forms the basis of the claim if no statutory limitation is applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of an Offering Period, each Participant in such Offering Period shall automatically participate in the immediately following Offering Period at the same payroll deduction percentage as in effect at the termination of the prior Offering Period, unless such Participant delivers to the Company a different election with respect to the successive Offering Period in accordance with Section 3.1(a) hereof, or unless such Participant becomes ineligible for participation in the Plan.

During leaves of absence approved by the Company meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2) under the Code, a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on his or her normal payday equal to his or her authorized payroll deduction.

Any balance less than eighty five percent (85%) of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on (i) the applicable Grant Date and (ii) the applicable Exercise Date remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account (after exercise of such Participant’s Option) as of such Exercise Date shall be carried forward to the next Offering Period, unless the Participant has elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof or, pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, such Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee.

If the Company is required to obtain from any commission or agency authority to issue any such shares of Common Stock, the Company shall seek to obtain such authority. Inability of the Company to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance of any such shares shall relieve the Company from liability to any Participant except to refund to the Participant such Participant’s Plan Account balance, without interest thereon.

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof.

5.3 Insufficient Shares . If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance on such Exercise Date 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 unless additional shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, no further Offering Periods shall take place and the Plan shall terminate pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof. If an Offering Period is so terminated, then the balance of the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon.

5.4 Rights as Stockholders . With respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Option, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder.

1. Duties and Extent of Service

As Chief Operating Officer of the Company, you will have responsibility for performing those duties as are customary for, and are consistent with, such position, as well as those duties as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer may from time to time designate. You will be based in the Company’s Mountain View, California office. You agree to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices and policies of the Company and any changes therein that may be adopted from time to time by the Company.

2. Compensation: Sign-on Bonus

In consideration of your employment with the Company, the Company will pay you a base salary, payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, which annualizes to $260,000.

As additional consideration for the your agreement to accept employment with the Company, and contingent upon: (i) the execution and delivery of the Employee Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Interference Agreement by you, and (ii) commencing your employment as Chief Operating Officer under this letter agreement on the Start Date, the Company will pay to you a signing bonus in an amount equal to $15,000 (the “ Signing Bonus ”).

You will forfeit any remaining unpaid amount of your Signing Bonus if you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company prior the first anniversary of your Start Date.


You will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 40% of your annual base salary which will be based upon the achievement of certain milestones recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) and approved by the Board; provided , that, any bonus for 2015 will be prorated, based on the number of days that you are employed by the Company during 2015; and, provided, further, that such bonus shall not reflect the achievement by the Company of any milestones prior to the Start Date.

You and the Company agree to file any demand for arbitration within the time limit established by the applicable statute of limitations for the asserted claims or within one year of the conduct that forms the basis of the claim if no statutory limitation is applicable. Failure to demand arbitration within the prescribed time period shall result in waiver of said claims.

These provisions regarding arbitration will cover all matters directly or indirectly related to your recruitment, employment or termination of employment by the Company, including, but not limited to claims involving laws against any form of discrimination whether brought under federal or state law, and claims involving present and former employees, officers and directors of the Company, but excluding workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance claims.
