SECOND AMENDMENT TO FACILITY AGREEMENT

SECOND AMENDMENT TO FACILITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of December 17, 2015, by and among KEMPHARM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and, DEERFIELD PRIVATE DESIGN FUND III, L.P. (the “Lenders” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”).

RECITALS:

A. Borrower and Lenders have entered into that certain Facility Agreement dated as of June 2, 2014 (as the same may be amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”).

B. The Parties desire to amend the Facility Agreement on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Facility Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Facility Agreement. The Recitals to this Amendment are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference thereto.

2. Amendments to Facility Agreement. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment the Facility Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

a. Section 5.2(g) of the Facility Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in substitution therefor:

“(g) Intentionally Deleted.”

b. Section 1.1 of the Facility Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new defined term:

“Restricted Lender” means (i) the initial Lenders party to this Agreement and their Affiliates and (ii) any assignee of any interest in a Note that notifies the Borrower in writing that it wishes to be deemed a Restricted Lender.

c. Section 5.1 of the Facility Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new provision to the end of such Section:

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, if any notice or information required to be furnished contains material non-public information (any such notice or information, a “Public Notice”), the Borrower, instead of delivering such Public Notice to all the Lenders shall promptly deliver such Public Notice to each Lender that is not a Restricted Lender and promptly notify each Restricted Lender in writing or orally that Borrower desires to deliver to such Restricted Lender a Public Notice. Within five Business Days of receipt of such notification the Restricted Lender may either (i) refuse the delivery of such Public Notice, in which case Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Public Notice and such Restricted Lender shall be deemed satisfied, or (ii) enter into good faith negotiations with the Parent to agree to the time period within which the Borrower will make the material non-public information contained in such Public Notice publicly available by including such information in a filing with the SEC. If Borrower and such Restricted Lender agree on such time period, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to such Restricted Lender such Public Notice and shall cause Parent to include the applicable material non-public information in a public filing with the SEC within such agreed to time period. The failure to agree on such time period will be deemed to satisfy Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Public Notice and such Restricted Lender.
