Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Lease Agreement

On June 1, 2009, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Jazz Pharmaceuticals”), entered into a First Amendment of Lease (“First Amendment”) to the Commercial Lease dated as of June 2, 2004 ( “Lease”) with Wheatley-Fields, LLC (“Landlord”), successor in interest to The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University. Under the First Amendment, the term of the Lease has been extended by 36 months (“Extended Term”) at a set rental rate for each 12 month period beginning September 1, 2009. September 1, 2009 is also both the effective date of the First Amendment and the date the Lease would otherwise have expired.

Under the terms of the First Amendment the monthly base rent will change from its current rate of $67,964 per month to the following: $65,772.00 per month from September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010; $74,541.60 per month from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011; and $78,926.40 per month from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals has two consecutive renewal options to extend the term of the Lease for a period of two years beyond the Extended Term. If an option is exercised, each renewal term will be upon the same terms and conditions as the original term, except that the base rent will be the prevailing market rent as determined pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the First Amendment does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment that is attached to and filed as an exhibit to this 8-K.
