If Oscient increases the number of PSRs Detailing the Product as permitted under this Agreement and increases the number of PDEs for the Product at least in proportion to the increase in the number of PSRs, a minimum of [**]% of the variable compensation to which each of Oscient’s PSRs Detailing the Product can earn for each POA during each Year shall be based upon achievement of goals related to the Product.

Compensation of Auxilium PSRs. The percentages specified below of the variable compensation which each of the Auxilium PSRs (for both PCP and specialists) can earn for each POA during each Year shall be based upon achievement of goals related to the Product:

For Year 1: [**]%

For Years 2 through 4: [**]% if Auxilium is, at the time, promoting no more than [**] products (including the Product) and [**]% if Auxilium is, at the time, promoting more than [**] products.

The budget for Product promotion shall be under the direction of the Marketing Committee, supervised by the Management Steering Committee and set forth in the Marketing Budget. No later than November 1st of the preceding calendar year, the Management Steering Committee shall approve a new Marketing Budget for that Year. The Parties acknowledge that many of the items to be included in the Marketing Budget will also be used by Auxilium in its Specialist-directed marketing activities. The Marketing Committee will indicate, for each item in the Marketing Budget, the percentage of that item’s cost to be allocated to the Auxilium Specialist marketing budget. The Marketing Budget will therefore contain a PCP component, to be shared equally between the Parties, and a Specialist component, to be funded by Auxilium only. In addition, the Marketing Budget will provide: (1) an estimated breakdown of the spending by category; and (2) an estimated breakdown of spending by quarter, for each category. The Marketing Budget shall also identify which Party will pay for each spending category, and the Parties’ marketing expenditures during each quarter shall be recorded in terms of total, PCP and Specialist marketing. Each Party may elect to include certain prescription data costs in the Marketing Budget, to be shared equally between the Parties as PCP Marketing Expense. For Oscient, such costs shall be its cost of purchasing IMS NPA, NSP, and Xponent data to be used to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement, up to a maximum of $[**] per year. For Auxilium, such costs shall be 50% of its annual cost of purchasing IMS NPA, NSP, and Xponent data. In Year 2, the Parties intend to spend on PCP marketing approximately $[**]. A new 2-year target level for the marketing spend will be established upon the extension of the Agreement at the end of Years 2 and 4. The aggregate actual expenses incurred by the Parties for PCP marketing shall be referred to herein as the “Aggregate Marketing Expense”. To the extent that a Party has paid more than 50% of the Aggregate Marketing Expense in a quarter, an adjustment will be made such that each Party has incurred 50% of the Aggregate Marketing Expense for that quarter (the “Quarterly Expense True-up”), with such adjustment being made pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof. In addition, the Quarterly Expense True Up will be adjusted such that Auxilium has paid 100% of the Specialist marketing expenditures.

In addition, the milestones set forth in clauses (b) and (c) above shall be waived in the event that a Supply Interruption occurs and continues during Year 3 and/or Year 4 for a period of more than [**].

Auxilium shall provide written notice to Oscient stating whether Oscient has satisfied the above conditions within ten (10) days of receipt of IMS Xponent data for Year 4, which shall be subject to Oscient’s verification. In the event that Oscient has not satisfied the above conditions, this Agreement shall terminate on April 30, 2009 if Auxilium has provided to Oscient notice of such termination within thirty (30) days of the date that such IMS Xponent data is made available to Auxilium.

Within five business (5) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Auxilium shall calculate and provide a PCP Gross Profit Allocation Report to Oscient regarding the allocation of PCP Gross Profit in the manner described in this paragraph. PCP Gross Profit shall be estimated for the immediately preceding quarter based on actual data for the quarter, where available, and estimates using historical trends where actual data is not available. In addition, the allocation of PCP Gross Profit to Oscient for a particular quarter shall be adjusted to reflect any under- or over-allocation of PCP Gross Profit to Oscient from the preceding quarter based on the actual results of the preceding quarter as compared to the estimates that were used to calculate PCP Gross Profits for such preceding quarter.

(ii)

For the Year following the Year in which such Supply Interruption ends, each Threshold shall be multiplied by the following ratio:

[[**] minus (the length of the Supply Interruption (in days) times [**])]

(b)

In the event that a Supply Interruption occurs and continues for a period of more than [**], then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than thirty (30) days a revised PCP Gross Profit sharing arrangement under this Agreement, and if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such revised PCP Gross Profit sharing arrangement within such 30-day period, then Oscient shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.6(b), and Auxilium shall make the following payments to Oscient: If Oscient terminates the Agreement pursuant to this clause (b) after January 1, 2007, Auxilium shall pay Oscient, in addition to the sharing of PCP Gross Profits achieved up to the date of termination, a [**].

In the event that there is, for any Year, a shortfall in the number of PDEs performed by Oscient as compared to the number of PDEs required to be performed by Oscient for such Year of greater than [**] percent ([**]%) but less than [**] percent ([**]%), then all of the PCP Gross Sales Thresholds for the following Year (and only the following Year) shall be adjusted by multiplying all such Thresholds by the following:

1 + [ 1 - (Actual PDEs performed by Oscient for such Year)]

[**]

(d)

In the event that there is, for any Year, a shortfall in the number of PCP PDEs performed by Auxilium as compared to the number of PCP PDEs required to be performed by Auxilium for such Year of greater than [**] percent ([**]%), then all of the PCP Gross Sales Thresholds for the following Year (and only the following Year) shall be adjusted by multiplying all such Thresholds by the ratio of the actual number of PCP PDEs performed by Auxilium for such Year divided by [**].

10.2

Auxilium shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Oscient from any Losses arising out of or relating to the (i) manufacture or sale of the Product, including any defect in identity, purity or quality of Product manufactured, produced, marketed, distributed, sold, processed or supplied by Auxilium, (ii) negligent or willful acts of Auxilium, or (iii) the breach by Auxilium of any provision of this Agreement.

10.3

Oscient shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Auxilium from all Losses arising out of or relating to (i) negligent or willful acts of Oscient, including without limitation, Losses due to Third Party use of Product recommendations or claims made by Oscient on behalf of Auxilium and not specifically authorized in writing by Auxilium or contained in the Promotion Materials or approved Product labeling, or (ii) the breach by Oscient of any provision of this Agreement, except in each case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of Auxilium’s negligence or willful breach of its obligations in performing its duties under this Agreement.

10.4

The indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to the indemnified Party (i) providing prompt notice of the existence of the claim for which it is seeking to be indemnified; provided, however, that except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, any failure to provide such prompt notice shall not relieve the indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent prejudiced thereby, (ii) giving the indemnifying Party the ability, at its option, to control the defense of any such claim, and (iii) providing reasonable cooperation in the defense thereof.

10.5

Limitation on Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOT WITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

10.6

Insurance. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, each Party, at its own expense shall maintain a policy of self-insurance or a policy in full force and effect with an insurance company or companies having an A.

Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator and the two arbitrators thus appointed shall appoint the arbitral chair. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York. Judgment on an arbitral award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of the award and any appropriate order including enforcement. Nothing in this Section 11.1 will preclude any Party from seeking interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order,

preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding.

Tier 3		Gross Profits = [] times [] (assumed for this example to be the ratio of Net Sales to Gross Sales) times [] (assumed for this example to be the Gross Profit Margin) = []


Tier 1		Gross Profits are allocated [] to Auxilium and [] to Oscient

Tier 2		PCP Gross Sales = [] – [] = [**]

Tier 2		Gross Profits = [] times []% times []% = []

Oscient’s Reimbursable Marketing Expense = [] minus []% times [] (Oscient’s share of Tier 1 Gross Profits) = [] Auxilium’s Reimbursable Marketing Expense = [] minus []% times [] (Auxilium’s share of Tier 1 Gross Profits) = []

Tier 2		Gross Profits of [] are allocated [] to Oscient and [] to Auxilium to cover each party’s Reimbursable Marketing Expense. After this allocation, Oscient still has [] – [] = [] in remaining Reimbursable Marketing Expense, while Auxilium’s Reimbursable Marketing Expense has been fully covered.

Tier 3		PCP Gross Sales = [] – [] = [**]

Tier 3		Gross Profits = [] times []% times []% = []. The first [] of Tier 3 Gross Profits is allocated to Oscient to cover its remaining Reimbursable Marketing Expense. The remaining [] in Tier 3 Gross Profits are allocated [] to Oscient ([]%) and [] to Auxilium ([]%).
The payment to Oscient at the end of Q2/2007 is thus: [] (Tier 1 Gross Profit allocation) + [] (Tier 2 Gross Profit allocation) + [] (Tier 3 Gross Profit Allocation) = [] – [] (Aggregate Prior Payments) = $[]
