THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of June 1, 2006, by and between LIBERTY PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“Landlord”), and AUXILIUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (“Tenant”), a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware.

BACKGROUND

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease Agreement dated December 31, 2004 (the “Lease”), covering Premises consisting of approximately 31,092 rentable square feet known as 40 Valley Stream Parkway, Malvern, Pennsylvania (“40 VSP”), as more fully described in the Lease, for a Term commencing June 25, 2005, and terminating December 31, 2012. The Premises located at 40 VSP is sometimes in this Amendment referred to as the “40 VSP Space.”

B. Tenant desires to expand the area of the Premises under the Lease by the addition of space in the Building located at 50 Valley Stream Parkway, Malvern, Pennsylvania (“50 VSP”), being approximately 16,054 rentable square feet (the “50 VSP Space”), and Landlord has agreed to such expansion subject to the provisions of this Amendment. The location of the 50 VSP Space within 50 VSP is shown on Exhibit A attached to this Amendment.

C. Landlord and Tenant intend that the 50 VSP Space will be improved by Landlord pursuant to plans prepared by Tenant’s Architect, with a target Commencement Date of August 1, 2006, subject to timely delivery of Tenant Construction Documents by Tenant to Landlord. Payment of electric costs and Annual Operating Expenses for the 50 VSP Space will begin on the 50 VSP Commencement Date, as defined below. Minimum Annual Rent will begin for the 50 VSP Space at a reduced rate two (2) months following the 50 VSP Commencement Date, and Minimum Annual Rent at the full rate will commence nine (9) months following the 50 VSP Commencement Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and in the Lease, and intending to be legally bound hereby, agree that the Lease is amended as follows:

parking area as and where needed as reasonably determined by Landlord; (4) replace any concrete sidewalk or curb sections, which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, cannot be satisfactorily repaired; and (5) construct or repair as Landlord determines reasonably necessary, and in accordance with applicable building codes, demising walls to separate the 50 VSP Space from common areas and other tenant premises.

(ii) Before December 31, 2006, at 50 VSP, Landlord shall renovate the common area lobby, including but not limited to new flooring, wall finishes, lighting and ceiling.

(iii) Before December 31, 2006, at 50 VSP, Landlord shall replace not less than three (3) roof top HVAC units installed prior to 2001 and which supply zones within the 50 VSP Space, and continue each year thereafter the same replacement program until all such units are replaced. Changes in HVAC distribution and controls and increases, if any, in HVAC capacity required by the Tenant Improvements are part of the Tenant Improvements and shall be paid from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

(iv) Landlord shall provide an exterior lighting allowance of $5,000.00 for adding exterior lighting in locations mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, to be allocated between 40 VSP and 50 VSP as determined by Tenant (exterior lighting in excess of this exterior lighting allowance shall be at the Tenant’s cost).

(v) All of the work described in this Section 7(a) shall be referred to in this Amendment as the “Landlord’s Work”.

(b) Tenant Improvements. Not later than the date of this Amendment, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s architect (“Tenant’s Architect”), at Tenant’s cost, to prepare and to deliver to Landlord, at least five (5) sets each of construction drawings of and construction specifications of improvements for Tenant’s occupancy of the 50 VSP Space (the “Tenant Improvements”) in sufficient detail to enable Landlord to obtain a building permit and construct the Tenant Improvements (as may be modified, the “Tenant Construction Documents”) for Landlord’s review, approval (which may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) and pricing in accordance with the procedure described below. Landlord may (but is not obligated to) make recommendations for changes to the Tenant Construction Documents, and Tenant may likewise make changes to the Tenant Construction Documents.

(i) Within twelve (12) business days after Tenant’s Architect has delivered the Tenant Construction Documents to Landlord, Landlord shall obtain at least three (3) fixed price bids for the Tenant Improvements based upon the Tenant Construction Documents. Bids shall provide alternative pricing with no overtime and with overtime to shorten the construction schedule. The purpose of obtaining the bids is the selection of the general contractor to complete the Tenant Improvements.

(ii) Within five (5) business days after Landlord has obtained at least three (3) fixed price bids for the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the above procedure, Landlord shall send copies of the bids and contractors’ supporting materials to Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall discuss, evaluate, and possibly adjust the bids. Landlord shall then, on or about the end of such five (5) day period, notify Tenant of the general contractor that Landlord has selected to complete the Tenant Improvements, taking into account the general contractor’s experience, Landlord’s working relationship with the general contractor, the scope of the Tenant Improvements, the time required to complete the Tenant Improvements, the amount of the bids, and the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If Landlord does not select the lowest qualified bidder, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the reasons for Landlord’s choice. The final fixed price, taking into account any Tenant approved change orders, together with Landlord’s construction supervision and management fee equal to two percent (2%) of the hard construction costs for supervising and managing the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements, shall be the “Tenant Improvement Costs.” As used in this Amendment, the term “Tenant Improvements” shall include all of Tenant’s work and improvements shown on the Tenant Construction Documents.

(c) Changes in Tenant Construction Documents. Tenant shall have the right, from time to time after receipt of the Tenant Construction Documents, to make changes in and to the same. Within seven (7) business days after Tenant shall request a change in Tenant Construction Documents, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether the change requested by Tenant will, in Landlord’s reasonable and good faith judgment, entail additional construction costs and/or additional construction time. If, in Landlord’s reasonable and good faith judgment, such changes will entail additional construction costs and/or additional construction time, such written notice shall contain Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the additional construction costs and/or additional construction time that the same will entail. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within five (5) business days after such determination as to whether Tenant wishes to make the changes in question. If Tenant shall not so notify Landlord, it shall be conclusively deemed that Tenant has elected to withdraw the proposed change in Tenant Construction Documents. Conversely, if Tenant shall notify Landlord that Tenant nonetheless wishes to make the change in question, then:

(i) the Tenant Construction Documents shall be deemed to be changed as set forth in Tenant’s request; and

(ii) to the extent that Landlord shall incur additional construction costs resulting from such changes, the provisions of subsection (j) below shall apply with respect to timing of required payments.

(d) Landlord Non-Material Changes. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time to make non-material changes (in terms of aesthetics, timing, or cost to Tenant) in and to Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Construction Documents to the extent that the same shall be necessary or desirable for Landlord:

(i) in connection with Landlord’s completion of the Landlord’s Work and/or

(ii) in order to cause Landlord’s Work or the Tenant Improvements to comply with any applicable requirements of public authorities and/or requirements of insurance bodies.

(e) Punch List. Within ten (10) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall give Landlord a written list (the “Final Punch List”) of all contended defects, if any, in Landlord’s construction work. Any and all such defects not set forth in the Final Punch List shall be conclusively deemed to be waived by Tenant. Landlord shall correct all items on the Final Punch List that constitute valid defects within forty-five (45) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Punch List, unless the nature of the defect or variance is such that a longer period of time is required to repair or correct the same, in which case Landlord shall exercise due diligence in correcting such defect or variance at the earliest possible date and with a minimum of interference with the operation of Tenant. Any disagreement that may arise between Landlord and Tenant with respect to whether an item on the Final Punch List constitutes a valid defect shall be reasonably determined by Tenant’s Architect. By occupying the 50 VSP Space as a Tenant, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the same and to have acknowledged that the 50 VSP Space is in the condition required by this Amendment, except as to any defects set forth in the Final Punch List, or as to any defects not discernible by a reasonable inspection (“Latent Defects”); provided that as to Latent Defects, Landlord shall have no obligation to correct Latent Defects unless Tenant shall have notified Landlord of the same within one (1) year following the Commencement Date.

(f) Target Substantial Completion Date. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements to be Substantially Completed and ready for use and occupancy by Tenant on or before July 22, 2006 (i.e., ten (10) days before August 1, 2006) (the “Target Substantial Completion Date”), subject to extension for Tenant Delays (as defined below) and Force Majeure Delays (as defined below). All construction shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and shall comply at the time of completion with all applicable and lawful laws, ordinances, regulations and orders of the federal, state, county or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof.

If they cannot resolve such dispute, they shall jointly select an experienced, independent construction professional who shall resolve the dispute and whose decision shall be final.

(iii) If the date of Substantial Completion is delayed as a result of any Tenant Delay, the Tenant Improvements and the Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to have been completed as of the date such work would have been completed but for such Tenant Delay, the Term of the Lease of the 50 VSP Space (for all purposes other than Tenant’s right to occupy the 50 VSP Space), and the Commencement Date shall commence on the date that it would have but for such Tenant Delay, but as it may have been extended by reason of Force Majeure Delays and other delays not caused by Tenant.

(iv) Tenant’s Right to Terminate. If the Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements are not Substantially Completed on or before 165 days from the date of this Amendment, as extended for Force Majeure Delays and/or Tenant Delays, then Tenant, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive right and remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Amendment by giving Landlord notice of termination on or before the date that is 175 days after the date of this Amendment.

(a) When this lease and the Term or any extension thereof shall have been terminated on account of any monetary default by Tenant, or when the Term or any extension thereof shall have expired, Tenant hereby authorizes any attorney of any court of record of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to appear for Tenant and for anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant and to confess judgment against all such parties, and in favor of Landlord, in ejectment and for the recovery of possession of the Premises, for which this lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant. AFTER THE ENTRY OF ANY SUCH JUDGMENT A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY BE ISSUED THEREON WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO TENANT AND WITHOUT A HEARING. If for any reason after such action shall have been commenced it shall be determined and possession of the Premises remain in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right for the same default and upon any subsequent default(s) or upon the termination of this lease or Tenant’s right of possession as herein set forth, to again confess judgment as herein provided, for which this lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall provide Tenant with ten (10) days prior written notice of its intent to confess judgment.

(b) The warrant to confess judgment set forth above shall continue in full force and effect and be unaffected by amendments to this lease or other agreements between Landlord and Tenant even if any such amendments or other agreements increase Tenant’s obligations or expand the size of the Premises. Tenant waives any procedural errors in connection with the entry of any such judgment or in the issuance of any one or more writs of possession or execution or garnishment thereon.

(c) TENANT KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES (i) ANY RIGHT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO RECEIVE A NOTICE TO QUIT PRIOR TO LANDLORD COMMENCING AN ACTION FOR REPOSSESSION OF THE PREMISES AND (ii) ANY RIGHT WHICH TENANT MAY HAVE TO NOTICE AND TO HEARING PRIOR TO A LEVY UPON OR ATTACHMENT OF TENANT’S PROPERTY OR THEREAFTER.

16. Separate Leases. Upon written request from Landlord to Tenant, Tenant will enter into a separate lease for each of 40 VSP and 50 VSP if Landlord represents to Tenant that separate leases are reasonably required in order to accommodate the sale or refinancing of either 40 VSP or 50 VSP, or if Tenant exercises the Option to Extend Term set forth in Section 28 of the Lease for either the 40 VSP Space but not the 50 VSP Space, or for other similar business purposes. The separate leases shall fairly represent the provisions of the Lease applicable to 40 VSP and 50 VSP, and provide an allocation of 90% of the Security Deposit to 40 VSP and 10% of the Security Deposit to 50 VSP; provided, however, that if Tenant subsequently leases additional space in 50 VSP, and the Security Deposit is increased, Landlord may modify the 10%/90% allocation by written notice to Tenant.

For a period ending six (6) months following the 50 VSP Commencement Date Landlord shall notify Tenant within three (3) business days of delivering a written lease proposal to a prospective tenant, whether such proposal is in response to a request from a prospective tenant or is unsolicited.

Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from the commission owed to Studley, Inc. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all other claims for commissions or fees in connection with the 50 VSP Space and this Amendment from any other real estate brokers or agents with whom they may have dealt.

19. Lease In Full Force And Effect. Except as expressly modified herein, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.
