        Mr. Jesse Lynn

        General Counsel

        Icahn Enterprises L.P.

        16690 Collins Avenue, Suite PH-1

        Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160

        

        

        Dear Mr. Lynn:

        

        

        The Company has been exploring the feasibility of distributing for no consideration on a pro rata basis to its stockholders transferable NYSE listed
          warrants (“Common Share Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s common shares (the “Warrant Distribution”).  In order for the Board to fully evaluate the Warrant Distribution it is important to have a clear understanding of how it could impact the
          rights and obligations of the Company and Mr. Carl C. Icahn and his affiliated entities which are party to the Second Amended and Restated Support Agreement dated July 15, 2016 (the “Support Agreement”).

        

        

        Section 1(e) of the Support Agreement provides that Mr. Icahn and his affiliated entities must “Beneficially Own” at least 14,015,150 split-adjusted
          Company common shares (the “Beneficial Ownership Requirement”) to retain certain rights, including Board representation. As you know, the Support Agreement provides that the Beneficial Ownership Requirement will be “adjusted for any stock split,
          stock dividend or similar corporate action”.  Based on the definition of “Beneficially Own” contained in the Support Agreement, the Warrant Distribution may constitute “similar corporate action” triggering an automatic increased adjustment to the
          Beneficial Ownership Requirement.  For avoidance of any potential ambiguity, we have agreed, in consideration of our mutual agreement contained in the next paragraph, that upon and immediately after the Warrant Distribution, the Beneficial
          Ownership Requirement will remain at 14,015,150 Company common shares (subject to future adjustment as provided for in the Support Agreement and taking into account the application of the next paragraph).

        

        

        Given our agreement that the Beneficial Ownership Requirement will not be adjusted as a result of the Warrant Distribution, we have similarly agreed
          that, upon and immediately after the Warrant Distribution, the definition of Beneficially Own (solely as it applies to (x) the Beneficial Ownership Requirement, (y) Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 3 of the Support Agreement and (z) Exhibit A of the
          Support Agreement, and not to any other provision of the Support Agreement) shall not include: (a) any of the Common Share Warrants (whether acquired through or after the Warrant Distribution); (b) any of the Company common shares underlying the
          Common Share Warrants before exercise; or (c) any other non-voting convertible securities issued by the Company pro rata to all shareholders, or Company common shares underlying such securities before exercise.

        
          
            

        

        
          	 	 

        

         

        

        
          Mr. Jesse Lynn

          Icahn Enterprises L.P.

          November 4, 2020

          

          

          It is further understood and agreed that if the Company proceeds with the Warrant Distribution, the form of resignation letter attached to the Support Agreement as Exhibit A shall be automatically deemed modified to conform to the above
          understandings both on a going forward basis and with respect to existing designees and Mr. Icahn and his affiliated entities shall promptly cause each such individual to deliver a resignation in such form as appropriate.

        

        

        Please confirm the understanding and agreement of Mr. Icahn and his affiliated entities to each of the above.  Thank you.

        

        

        Sincerely,

        

        

        /s/ Henry C. Wang

        

        

        Henry C. Wang, Executive Vice President and General Counsel

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this "Amendment") is made as of September 2, 2020, by and between ARE-11025/11075 ROSELLE STREET, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord"), and TANDEM DIABETES CARE, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").

RECITALS

A.Landlord and Tenant are now parties to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of November 5, 2013, as amended by that certain Letter Agreement dated February 11. 2014, and that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of December 27, 2017 (as so amended, the "Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant leases certain premises consisting of approximately 41,163 rentable square feet ("Premises") in buildings located at 11065 Roselle Street (consisting of approximately 17,227 rentable square feet), and 11075 Roselle Street (consisting of approximately 23,936 rentable square feet), in San Diego, California, as more fully described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

B.The Base Term of the Lease will expire on May 31, 2022. Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to amend the Lease to, among other things, (i) extend the current Base Term of the Lease for a period of one (1) year, and (ii) amend the amount of Base Rent payable under the Lease during the Base Term, as so extended.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.Base Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Base Term of the Lease is hereby extended through May 31, 2023 (the “Extended Expiration Date”).

2.Base Rent. Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent as set forth in the Lease through May 31, 2022. Commencing on June 1, 2022 (the "Adjustment Date"), Base Rent shall be increased by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by 3% and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date.

3.Alternative Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Amendment is intended to modify the terms and conditions set forth in Section 39(m) of the Lease under which Tenant may lease Alternative Premises (as defined therein), and the parties acknowledge and agree that such terms and conditions remain in full force and effect.

4.Renewal Rights. Any and all rights to renew or extend the term of this Lease beyond the Extended Expiration Date are hereby terminated and declared null and void.

5.Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker") in connection with this Amendment and that no Broker brought about this transaction, other than CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield, on behalf of Landlord, and Re: Align Tenant Strategies, on behalf of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker, other than CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield, on behalf of Landlord, and Re: Align Tenant Strategies, on behalf of Tenant, claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this Amendment.

6.Miscellaneous.

a.This Amendment is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements and discussions. This Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto.

b.This Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, heirs, successors in interest and shareholders.

c.Each of Landlord and Tenant acknowledges that it has read the provisions of this Amendment, understands them, and is bound by them. Time is of the essence in this Amendment.

d.This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature process complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. Electronic signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Amendment and all matters related thereto, with such electronic signatures having the same legal effect as original signatures.

e.Except as amended and/or modified by this Amendment, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, unaltered and unchanged by this Amendment. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail. Whether or not specifically amended by this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the purpose and intent of this Amendment.
