Exhibit 10.59

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered
into on July     , 2007, by and between JAZZ PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and                                          (the
“Executive”). The Company and the Executive are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Parties”, and individually referred to as a “Party”.

RECITALS

A. The Company retained the services of the Executive pursuant to an employment
agreement, dated February 14, 2004 (the “Previous Employment Agreement”).

B. The Parties wish to amend the Previous Employment Agreement to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

AGREEMENT

1. Sections 7 through 25 of the Previous Agreement are hereby renumbered as
Sections 8 through 26, respectively, and all Section references in the Previous
Agreement shall be updated accordingly.

2. New Section 7 is hereby inserted to read as follows:

7. Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

Since each arrangement providing for cash payments (except reimbursement of
COBRA premiums) pursuant to Sections 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 (the “Payments”)
constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of
Section 409A(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
if the Executive is a “specified employee” of the Company (or any successor
entity thereto) within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on
the applicable date, then solely to the extent necessary to avoid the adverse
personal tax consequences under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, the timing of
the Payments shall be delayed to occur on the earlier of: (i) the date that is
six months after the date of Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the
date of Executive’s death (such date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), and
the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall (A) pay to
the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Payments that Executive
would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the
commencement of the payment of the Payments had not been delayed pursuant to
this Section 7, and (B) commence paying the balance of the Payments in
accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth herein.
