Page 7 of 15

(iii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of the Award; and

(iv) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Award and the Award Agreement.

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations, and interpretations will be final and binding on the Participant and will be given the maximum deference permitted by Applicable Laws.

3. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement. The Award is intended to qualify as an employment inducement grant under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

4. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 5 or 6, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 5 or 6 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 10. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Award Agreement.

5. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 6, and subject to Section 8, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that (i) if a Vesting Date falls on a day upon which the U.S. national securities markets are not open for trading, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day, and (ii) if a Vesting Date falls on December 31, such Vesting Date shall be delayed until the next trading day such that the Vesting Date, any sale to cover taxes, and applicable tax reporting all occur in the same calendar year. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

6. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Award Agreement. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 6 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

INDUCEMENT RSU AGREEMENT

Page 8 of 15

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

7. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of the Award will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. The Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary.

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

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

10. Withholding of Taxes.

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to the Award or such earlier time as any tax withholding obligations are due, the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the

INDUCEMENT RSU AGREEMENT

Page 9 of 15

Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to the Award. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.

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

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

INDUCEMENT RSU AGREEMENT

Page 10 of 15

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

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

11. Forfeiture Events.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Award Agreement, the Award shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time (the “Clawback Policy”). In the absence of a Clawback Policy, the Award shall be subject to Section 11(b). The Administrator may require the Participant to forfeit, return, or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the Award and any amounts paid thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Clawback Policy or Section 11(b) or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

(b) Forfeiture Provisions Applicable in the Absence of a Clawback Policy. The following provisions shall apply while a Clawback Policy is not in effect:

(i) Recoupment in the Event of a Restatement of Financial Results. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Award Agreement, in the event the Company is required to restate its financial results, the Board will review the conduct of executive officers in relation to the restatement. If the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in misconduct, or otherwise violated the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Agents and Contractors, and that such misconduct or violation contributed to such restatement, then the Board may, in its discretion, take appropriate action to remedy the misconduct or violation, including, without limitation, seeking reimbursement of any portion of any performance-based or incentive compensation paid or awarded to the employee that is greater than would have been paid or awarded if calculated based on the restated financial results, to the extent not prohibited by governing law. For this purpose, the term “executive officer” means executive offers as defined by the Exchange Act. Any such action by the Board would be in addition to any other actions the Board may take under the Company’s policies, as modified from time to time, or any actions imposed by law enforcement, regulators or other authorities.

(ii) Recoupment in the Event of a Material Reduction in Publicly Disclosed Backlog. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Award Agreement, in the event the Company is required to make a Material Reduction of its publicly-disclosed backlog figures, the Board will review the conduct of executive officers in relation to the

INDUCEMENT RSU AGREEMENT

Page 11 of 15

determination and publication of backlog figures and their subsequent Material Reduction. If the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in knowing or reckless misconduct, or otherwise violated the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Agents, and Contractors, and that such misconduct or violation led to the improper inclusion of a proposed system sale in publicly-disclosed backlog, then the Board shall, in its discretion, take appropriate action to remedy the misconduct or violation, including, without limitation, seeking reimbursement of any portion of any performance-based or incentive compensation paid or awarded to the executive officer that is greater than would have been paid or awarded if calculated based on the Materially Reduced backlog figures, to the extent not prohibited by governing law. For this purpose, the term “executive officer” means executive offers as defined by the Exchange Act. “Material Reduction” shall mean a Reduction of at least 15% of the total backlog publicly reported by the Company in the preceding quarter. By “Reduction,” this provision is intended to relate to system sales which are included in publicly-disclosed backlog but are then removed due to the cancellation of the transaction. Removals from backlog due to the fact that a system sale shipped and was recognized as revenue or where a system is removed from backlog due to it being in backlog longer than the time provided for by the Company’s backlog criteria shall not count as a “Reduction.” Any action taken by the Board pursuant to this provision would be in addition to any other actions the Board may take under the Company’s policies, as modified from time to time, or any actions imposed by law enforcement, regulators or other authorities.

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

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

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

INDUCEMENT RSU AGREEMENT

Page 12 of 15

15. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Award Agreement, will adjust the number and class of Shares covered by the Award.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) Change in Control. Except as set forth in this Section 15(c), in the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity or a Change in Control, the Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that the Award may be assumed, or a substantially equivalent award will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares. In taking any of the actions permitted under this, the Administrator will not be required to treat the Award in a manner similar to the treatment of any other award in the transaction.

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, all restrictions on the Award will lapse.

For the purposes of this subsection (c), the Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, for each Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

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

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the Award unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant to the Award, the Company may require the person to whom such Shares will be issued to represent and warrant at such time that the Shares are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

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

(d) Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction or to complete or comply with the requirements of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state, federal or foreign law or under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which Shares of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental or regulatory body, which authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable for the issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority, registration, qualification or rule compliance will not have been obtained.
