Dear Sirs:
This agreement (the “Leak-Out Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with that certain understanding by and between Tyme Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the undersigned (“Holder”).
Reference is hereby made to that certain Exchange Agreement, dated May , 2020 (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Holder, pursuant to which, among other things, the Holder exchanged certain warrants to purchase Common Stock (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) previously issued by the Company to the Holder into new warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrant” and the first 893,750 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Warrant, the “Restricted Securities”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Exchange Agreement.
During the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Restricted Securities (“Execution Date”) and ending on (i) [ ]1 or (ii) such date upon which any breach by the Company of any term of this Leak-Out Agreement or the Exchange Agreement occurs, regardless of whether such breach is subsequently cured (the “Standstill End Date”), the Holder and any Affiliate of the Holder which (x) had or has knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Warrant or Exchange Agreement, (y) has or shares discretion relating to such Holder’s investments or trading or information concerning such Holder’s investments, including in respect of the Restricted Securities, or (z) is controlled by Holder or is subject to such Holder’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (together, the “Holder’s Trading Affiliates”) shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, option, lend or dispose or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, (including, without limitation, any sales, swaps or any derivative transactions that would be equivalent to any sales) any of the Restricted Securities or enter into any new short sales or short positions.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that Holder may currently maintain short positions in the Company’s common stock. None of the foregoing restrictions shall prohibit such short positions already existing on the date hereof, or the settlement thereof, provided that such settlements using Restricted Securities comply with the volume limitations set forth above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall prohibit the Holder (or any of its Trading Affiliates) from tendering any Restricted Securities or other shares of Common Stock to any Person in a tender offer or other Fundamental Transaction.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on or after the date hereof, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part, of the Restricted Securities to any Person (an “Assignee”) in a transaction which does not need to be reported on the Nasdaq consolidated tape without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions set forth in this Leak-Out Agreement; provided, however that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Leak-Out Agreement with respect to such transferred Restricted Securities (an “Assignee Agreement”) and sales of the Holder and its Affiliates and all Assignees shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Leak-Out Agreement and all Assignee Agreements.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Leak-Out Agreement must be in writing.

The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each such Other Agreement.

Holder has reviewed the form of the Other Agreement for such Other Holders and agrees that such Other Agreement does not contain more favorable terms and/or conditions and/or less trading restrictions than this Agreement and does not trigger any rights hereunder.
The obligations of Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Holder under any other agreement, and Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder under any such other agreement. Nothing contained herein or in this Agreement, and no action taken by Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute Holder and Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Holder and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company acknowledges that Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Agreement. The Company and Holder confirms that Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
