The failure to comply with the terms of this Section 4(p) shall constitute a default under this Agreement and an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(q) Waiver of Default. Subject to the consummation, in accordance with Section 4(p) hereof, of a Qualified Equity Financing by the Borrower by September 29, 2015, the Lenders concurrent with the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing will waive the Designated Defaults. Such waiver shall only apply to the Designated Defaults.

(b) Neither any “day-by-day” discretionary extensions of credit or releases or permitted uses of cash constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof by the Control Agent or the other Lenders, nor anything in this Agreement or in any ongoing discussions or negotiations between the Control Agent and/or any one or more of the other Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and other Credit Parties and Credit Parties’ Affiliates, on the other hand, nor any delay on the part of the Control Agent or the other Lenders in exercising any of their respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, shall directly or indirectly: (i) create any obligation to forbear or otherwise refrain from taking any enforcement action, exercising any right or remedy or asserting any defense, or to make any further extensions of credit or releases or permitted uses of cash constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof (other than during the Forbearance Period, with respect to the Designated Defaults to the extent expressly set forth herein), (ii) constitute a consent to or waiver of any past, present or future Default or Event of Default or other violation of any provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) amend, modify or operate as a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any right, defense, power, privilege or remedy of the Control Agent or any one or more of the other Lenders thereunder or under applicable law or constitute an agreement to forbear or otherwise refrain (other than during the Forbearance Period, with respect to the Designated Defaults to the extent expressly set forth herein) or to restructure or modify any of the Obligations in any respect or otherwise modify the capital structure or Collateral of any or all of the Credit Parties, or (iv) constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering any rights, defenses, remedies or obligations of Control Agent or the other Lenders under the Loan Documents or any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Credit Agreement, other Loan Documents or any other contract or instrument. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on Borrower or any other Credit Party or Person any right to notice or cure periods with respect to any Event of Default or other defaults or matters.

(c) The Control Agent and the other Lenders have not waived the Designated Defaults and (subject to the express provisions of Sections 3 and 4 above) each of Control Agent and the other Lenders expressly reserves all of its rights, defenses, powers, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement, other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, subject to Section 3(b) above solely with respect to the Designated Defaults, its right at any time, as applicable, (i) to determine not to make further Loans under the Credit Agreement or releases or permitted uses of cash constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof as a result of the Designated Defaults, (ii) to charge the Post-Default Rate of interest in respect of the Obligations (as of any date from and after the date on which the first Designated Default first occurred), (iii) to commence any legal or other action to collect or enforce any or all of the Obligations from any or all of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, and any other Person liable therefor and/or any Collateral, (iv) to foreclose or otherwise realize, collect, or recover on any or all of the Collateral and/or as appropriate, set-off, recoup or apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations, any or all of the Collateral, (v) to take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies provided for by any or all of the Credit Agreement, other Loan Documents or applicable law, and (vi) to reject any forbearance, financial restructuring or other proposal made by or on behalf of Borrower, any other Credit Party or any creditor or equity holder. Subject to Section 3(b) above solely with respect to the Designated Defaults, each of Control Agent and the other Lenders may exercise their respective rights, defenses, powers, privileges and remedies, including those set forth in (i) through (vi) above at any time in its sole

and absolute discretion without further notice. No oral representations or course of dealing on the part of Control Agent, any other Lender or any of its officers, employees or agents, and no failure or delay by Control Agent or any other Lender with respect to the exercise of any right, defense, power, privilege or remedy under any of the Credit Agreement, other Loan Documents or applicable law shall operate as a waiver thereof, and the single or partial exercise of any such right, defense, power, privilege or remedy shall not preclude any later exercise of any other right, defense, power, privilege or remedy.

SECTION 7. Release; Covenant Not to Xxx; Acknowledgement.

(a) Each Credit Party and its Affiliates hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Control Agent and each other Lender, and any and all participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents, attorneys, consultants, representatives and employees of any of the foregoing (each a “Released Party”), from any and all claims, demands, defenses or causes of action of any kind, nature or description relating to or arising out of or in connection with or as a result of any of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any agreement related to any of the foregoing, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which any Credit Party has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the date of this Agreement, whether such claims, demands, defenses, and causes of action are matured or unmatured, known or unknown, contingent, liquidated, or otherwise. It is the intention of each Credit Party and each of its Affiliates in providing this release that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action specified. Each Credit Party and its Affiliates acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such claims, demands, defenses, or causes of action and agree that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Credit Party and its Affiliates understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

(b) Each Credit Party and its Affiliates, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it will not xxx (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by any Credit Party pursuant to the above release. If any Credit Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their successors, assigns or other legal representations violates the foregoing covenant, each Credit Party and its Affiliates, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain as a result of such violation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Released Party as a result of such violation.

(c) Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges its status as a Credit Party and affirms its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, there are no liabilities, claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which any Credit Party may have or claim to have against any Released Party arising with respect to the Obligations, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

(d) In connection with the releases granted herein, to the extent applicable, the Credit Parties expressly waive any and all rights conferred upon them by the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California and/or any other federal or state statute or common law principle of similar effect. Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California reads as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

The Credit Parties understand and acknowledge the significance and consequence of their waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, as well as any other federal or state statute or common law principle of similar effect.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Credit Parties.

In order to induce the Control Agent and the other Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each Credit Party hereby jointly and severally represents, warrants and covenants to the Control Agent and the other Lenders, as of the date hereof and any other date on which representations and warranties are otherwise remade or deemed remade under the Credit Agreement that:

(a) Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (i) After giving effect to this Agreement, no representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement, shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default (other than the Designated Defaults) has occurred or is continuing, or would result after giving effect hereto.

(b) Authorization, Etc. Each Credit Party has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. Each Credit Party has taken all necessary action (including, without limitation, obtaining approval of its stockholders, if necessary) to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. No consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority, and no consent of any other Person, is required in connection with any Credit Party’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, except for those already duly obtained. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. No Credit Party’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement (i) contravenes the terms of any of such Credit Party’s organization documents; (ii) conflicts with or constitutes a violation or breach of,

or constitutes a default under, or results in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Security Documents) upon the property of any Credit Party by reason of the terms of any material obligation under any Contract to which such Credit Party is a party (including without limitation obligations arising from agreements relating to any such Contract to which any Credit Party is a party or which is binding upon it); or (iii) violates any Requirement of Law in any material respect.

(c) Security. The Secured Parties’ security interests in the Collateral continue to be perfected, valid, binding and enforceable first-priority security interests which secure the Obligations (subject only to the Permitted Liens) and no tax or judgment liens are currently of record against Borrower or any other Credit Party. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor holds or controls, or will hold or control during the Forbearance Period, cash or cash equivalents that is unencumbered and the Borrower and the Guarantors have granted to the Control Agent and the other Lenders enforceable first-priority security interests on all of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ cash and cash equivalents.

SECTION 9. Reference to and Effect on Loan Documents.

(a) Ratification. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and each Credit Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms each term and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, effective as of the date hereof.

(b) No Waiver. This Agreement is only applicable and shall only be effective in the specific instances and for the specific purposes for which made or given. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or forbearance of any right, power or remedy of the Control Agent or any other Lender under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or constitute a consent, waiver or modification with respect to any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents which shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement each reference in (i) the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or words of similar import and (ii) any Loan Document to “the Agreement” shall, in each case and except as otherwise specifically stated therein, mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.

SECTION 10. Affirmation of Guarantors.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of this Agreement and consents to any modification of the Loan Documents effected pursuant to this Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby confirms to the Control Agent and the other Secured Parties that, after giving effect to this Agreement, the Guarantee of such Guarantor and each other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party continues in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. Each Guarantor further acknowledges, confirms and agrees that Control Agent and the other Lenders have and shall continue to have a

valid, enforceable and perfected first-priority lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) upon and security interest in the Collateral granted to Control Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise granted to or held by Control Agent and the other Lenders.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Agreement, such Guarantor is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to consent to the waivers or modifications to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Guarantor to any future waivers or modifications to the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, the Control Agent and the other Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein (none of which include WCAS, who is not a party or a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement). No Credit Party may assign, delegate, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Control Agent and the other Lenders. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of the Credit Parties, the Control Agent and the other Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries (other than the Released Parties) of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The consent by WCAS included in the signature pages hereto shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement and shall not, directly or indirectly, create any obligation or duty of the Control Agent or the other Lenders to WCAS or any rights, interests, or defenses of WCAS against the Control Agent or the other Lenders.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all schedules and other documents attached hereto or incorporated by reference herein or delivered in connection herewith (excluding the consent of WCAS and the Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement), together with the Side Letter Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement of the signing parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no oral or implied obligations of the Control Agent or the other Lenders to WCAS or any third party in connection with this Agreement.

(c) Fees and Expenses. As provided in Section 12.03(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Lenders’ Costs. In furtherance thereof, on the date this Agreement is executed, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this subsection and the Side Letter Agreement, the Borrower shall fund into a reserve account held with the Control Agent (the “Reserve Account”) an amount equal to $500,000 to pay Lenders’ Costs. At any time that the balance in the Reserve Account falls below $75,000, the Borrower shall immediately transfer to the Control Agent for deposit into the Reserve Account additional amounts sufficient to bring the balance of the Reserve Account to $500,000. The Control Agent shall (i) periodically (whether daily, weekly or monthly, in Control Agent’s sole discretion) transfer amounts from the Reserve Account to the Lenders for reimbursement of the Lenders’ Costs and (ii) send copies of documentation (appropriately redacted if such documentation constitutes

attorneys’ invoices) to the Borrower of the Lenders’ Costs being reimbursed at such time, though the Control Agent’s failure to send such documentation shall not be deemed a default hereunder nor affect the Control Agent’s right to reimbursement the Lenders’ Costs from the Reserve Account.

(d) Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

(e) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(f) Conflict of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

(g) Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page to this Agreement.

(i) Incorporation of Credit Agreement. The provisions contained in Sections 12.09 (Governing Law), 12.10 (Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue), 12.11 (Waiver of Jury Trial) and 12.12 (Waiver of Immunity) of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference to the same extent as if reproduced herein in their entirety, except with reference to this Agreement rather than the Credit Agreement.

(j) Reviewed by Attorneys. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Control Agent and the other Lenders that it (i) understands fully the terms of this Agreement and the consequences of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) has been afforded an opportunity to have this Agreement reviewed by, and to discuss this Agreement and the documents executed in connection herewith, with such attorneys and other persons and advisors as such Credit Party may wish, and (iii) has entered into this Agreement and executed and delivered all documents in connection herewith of its own free will and accord and without threat, duress or other coercion of any kind by any Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that neither this Agreement nor any of the other documents executed pursuant hereto shall be construed more favorably in favor of one party over the other based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith.

(k) Further Assurances. Borrower and each other Credit Party agrees to, and to cause any other Credit Party to, take all further actions and execute all further documents as Control Agent may from time to time reasonably request to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith.

CONSENT AND AFFIRMATION OF FORBEARANCE BY WCAS

As an accommodation to the Borrower and without directly or indirectly creating any obligations or duties of the Control Agent or any other Lender to WCAS or any rights or defenses by WCAS against the Control Agent or any other Lender, WCAS hereby acknowledges and consents to any modification of the Loan Documents effected pursuant to the Limited Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) dated as of May 18, 2015 by and among Valeritas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Valeritas Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, each of the other Guarantors party thereto and the Lenders party thereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned thereto in the Forbearance Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in the Forbearance Agreement shall be deemed to violate, breach, modify, adversely affect, or otherwise infringe the terms of the Subordination Agreement, and WCAS hereby confirms to the Control Agent and the other Lenders that, after giving effect to the Forbearance Agreement, the Subordination Agreement continues in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of WCAS, enforceable against WCAS in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. WCAS further acknowledges, confirms and agrees that (i) the Subordinated Debt (to the extent it remains outstanding Indebtedness) is and shall remain subordinate in right and time of payment to payment in full of the Senior, and (ii) WCAS has not and shall not obtain any security interests in the Collateral to secure the Subordinated Debt, in each case in accordance with and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Subordination Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no party should rely in any way upon this Consent and Affirmation, as a consent, acknowledgement or undertaking of any kind by WCAS to participate in the equity financing contemplated by Section 4(n) of the Forbearance Agreement.

DESIGNATED DEFAULTS

1. The occurrence of a Material Adverse Change in violation of Section 11.01(l) of the Credit Agreement, including without limitation by reason of (a) the failure of the Borrower to conduct an initial public offering as anticipated, without providing any adequate and feasible alternative source of equity or other liquidity; (b) the failure of the Borrower to maintain reasonably adequate operating cash and working capital, including without limitation by reason of notice that the Lenders received from the Borrower’s investment bankers that the Borrower has only approximately $9 million in cash remaining and that the Borrower is chronically operating at a negative cash-flow basis and is spending net operating cash at a rate of approximately $4 million per month; (c) the failure of the Borrower to raise additional capital from its existing shareholders and notice that the Lenders received that the Borrower’s existing shareholders do not intend to invest further in or otherwise finance the Borrower; and (d) the Borrower’s inability to be able to provide adequate assurance of its making its interest payment due on March 31, 2015.

2. The failure of the Borrower to timely pay interest due on March 31, 2015, in violation of Section 11.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.

3. The failure of the Borrower to provide adequate assurances that it will continue to maintain a minimum daily balance of cash and Permitted Cash Equivalent Investments of at least the amounts required under Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

4. The failure of the Borrower to provide adequate assurances that it is or will remain solvent and will not violate Section 11.01(h) of the Credit Agreement.

5. The failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 7 of the Waiver Agreement, including without limitation by reason of the Borrower’s failure (a) to timely conduct an initial public offering, (b) to timely complete a private financing in the amounts required in Section 7(ii) of the Waiver Agreement, and (c) to timely complete a strategic investment by a publicly listed company in the Borrower in the amount required in Section 7(iii) of the Waiver Agreement.

6. The failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 10.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, in violation of Section 11.01(d) of the Credit Agreement, by reason of the Borrower’s failure, during the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2014, to have at least $25 million in Revenue (which failure is not deemed to have been waived due to the failure of the Borrower to satisfy the condition described in paragraph 5 above).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Designated Defaults identified above constitute “Designated Defaults” under this Agreement solely at the level, amount, or degree of such factors constituting defaults as of March 31, 2015, and any repeat or worsening of such Designated Defaults shall constitute new Events of Default under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not constitute “Designated Defaults” hereunder.
