(c)                                  The execution, delivery and performance of this Third Amendment Agreement will not violate (i) the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party as of the date hereof or (other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the Borrower and those of its Subsidiaries that are Subsidiary Guarantors) as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, (ii) any Requirement of Law (including any Health Care Laws), Governmental Authorization or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member as of the date hereof or (other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, and (iii) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of

(d)                                 The representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and in the other Loan Documents (other than any such representations and warranties that are duplicative of those set forth in this Section 3) are as of the date hereof, and will (as of the Third Amendment Effective Date) be true and correct in all material respects as of such date with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

(f)                                   (x) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement, prior to giving effect to the amendments contemplated hereby) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof or (other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, and (y) from the date of the most recent Auxilium Annual Financial Statements (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) to the Third Amendment Effective Date, no result, fact, change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or arisen which has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an Acquisition Agreement Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on the Borrower.

“Acquisition Agreement Material Adverse Effect”, when used in connection with the Borrower or the Parent (as applicable), means any result, fact, change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate with all other adverse results, facts, changes, effects, events, circumstances, occurrences or developments, has or would reasonably be expected to have, a material and adverse effect on (i) the business, operations, results of operations or condition (whether financial or otherwise) of such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of such Person and its Subsidiaries to perform their covenants or obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to consummate the Transactions (as defined therein); provided, however, that any result, fact, change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or development shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be taken into account in determining whether there has been, an Acquisition Agreement Material Adverse Effect to the extent that such result, fact, change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or development arises out of or results from:

4

provided, however, that the effect of the changes or developments described in clauses (i) through (vi) above shall not be excluded to the extent that any of the changes or developments referred to therein disproportionately adversely affect such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in comparison to other Persons who operate in the same industry as such Person and its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the interpretation of the definition of “Acquisition Agreement Material Adverse Effect” and whether an

5

Acquisition Agreement Material Adverse Effect has occurred, shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to choice of laws principles thereof.

(g)                                  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against any Group Member as of the date hereof or (other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, or against any of their respective properties or revenues (i) with respect to any of this Third Amendment Agreement or any other Loan Documents, which would in any respect impair the enforceability of this Third Amendment Agreement or such other Loan Documents, taken as a whole or (ii) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except any litigation that may be disclosed on the Borrower’s SEC or other comparable filings on or prior to the date hereof or the Third Amendment Effective Date (as applicable).

(h)                                 No written statement contained in any document, certificate or statement furnished by any Loan Party as of the date hereof or (other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the Borrower and those of its Subsidiaries that are Subsidiary Guarantors) as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the Restructuring, this Third Amendment Agreement or any other transactions contemplated by this Third Amendment Agreement (including the lender presentation dated as of August 12, 2014), when taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made; provided, however, that with respect to projections, the Borrower represents only that the same were prepared in good faith and are based upon assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made available to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact, is by its nature inherently uncertain and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount; it being understood that for purposes of this Section 3(h), such information shall not include information of a general economic or industry-specific nature contained in the materials referenced above and that any written information provided by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date) regarding the Parent and its Subsidiaries is to the best knowledge of the Borrower.
