Waiver AND AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS Waiver AND AMENDMENT NO. 5 (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 5, 2018, is made among TANDEM DIABETES CARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and the financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof under the heading “EXISTING TERM LOAN LENDERS” (each a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”).

The Borrower and the Lenders are parties to an Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of April 4, 2014, as amended by that certain Consent and Amendment Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2014, Omnibus Amendment Agreement No. 2, dated as of February 23, 2015, Amendment No. 3 to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2016, and Waiver and Amendment No. 4 to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2017  (as so amended, the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”).

The Borrower has requested that (i) the Lenders provide a limited waiver of certain reporting covenants contained in Section 8.01 of the Existing Term Loan Agreement, and (ii) certain amendments be made to the Existing Term Loan Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to such requests, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:


	
SECTION 1
	
Definitions; Interpretation.




(a)Terms Defined in Existing Term Loan Agreement.  All capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including in the recitals hereof) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Existing Term Loan Agreement.

(b)Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.03 of the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.


	
SECTION 2
	
Waivers. 




(a)With respect only to the 2017 fiscal year consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, the Lenders hereby agree to waive the requirement of Section 8.01(b) of the Existing Term Loan Agreement that the report and opinion of Borrower’s independent certified public accountants required to be delivered in connection with such financial statements be delivered without qualification as to going concern.

(b)The waiver set forth in Section 2(a) shall be limited precisely as written and relates solely to the potential noncompliance or breach by the Borrower of Section 8.01(b) of the Existing Term Loan Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of noncompliance or breach of any other term or provision in the Existing Term Loan

Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor prejudice any right or remedy that the Lenders may now have (except to the extent such right or remedy was based upon Defaults that will not exist after giving effect to this Agreement) or may have in the future under or in connection with the Existing Term Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver or consent in respect of (or otherwise affect the Lenders’ ability to enforce) any Default not explicitly waived by Section 2(a).


	
SECTION 3
	
Amendment.  In reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Amendment, the Existing Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 




(a)Section 1.01 is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Amended and Restated Fee Letter” to read in its entirety as follows:

““Amended and Restated Fee Letter” means that certain Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter, dated as of February 5, 2018, between Borrower and CRG Servicing LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders, as the same may be from time to time modified, amended, restated or supplemented.”

(b)Section 8.18 is hereby amended (i) by inserting “(a)” immediately following the phrase “Required Equity Financing.” at the beginning thereof, and (ii) adding a new subsection (b) thereto, which shall read in its entirety as follows:


	
(b)
	
Between February 5, 2018 and August 30, 2018, Borrower shall issue Equity Interests to investors in such quantity as shall result in gross cash proceeds to Borrower of at least $20,000,000. The parties hereto agree that if the Borrower fails to obtain gross cash proceeds of at least $20,000,000 through such Equity Interest issuance, the Event of Default waived by Section 2(a) of that certain Waiver and Amendment No. 5, dated as of February 5, 2018, among Borrower and Lenders, shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date on which Borrower received from its independent certified public accountants their report and opinion with respect to fiscal year 2017.  For purposes of clarification, the gross cash proceeds obtained by Borrower in compliance with this Section 8.18(b) shall not be included as Revenue for purposes of Section 10.01.”
