Item 1.01		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The information provided in Item 2.03 below is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03		Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On April 9, 2010, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (the “Company”) completed its previously announced note offering (the “Offering”) of $400 million principal amount of 7.625% senior notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). The Notes were priced at par. The Notes were sold in a private placement pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into as of April 6, 2010, which is filed herewith, and resold by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

The Notes will mature on March 15, 2020 and will accrue interest at the rate of 7.625% per year. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2010. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to March 15, 2015 by paying a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes, plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the indenture as discussed below), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time prior to March 15, 2013, the Company may use the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings of capital stock of the Company to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 107.625% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus certain additional interest as specified in the indenture, if any, to the redemption date; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture remain outstanding immediately after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such equity offering. At any time on or after March 15, 2015, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes by paying a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount (103.813% if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2015, 102.542% if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2016, 101.271% if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2017 and 100% if redeemed on or after March 15, 2018), plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus certain liquidated damages as specified in the indenture, if any, to the redemption date.

If the Company experiences a change of control, it may be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus certain liquidated damages as specified in the indenture, if any, to but excluding the repurchase date.

The Notes are senior obligations of the Company, and will be jointly and severally guaranteed initially by the same subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s outstanding 8.375% Senior Notes due 2016. Certain of the Company’s future subsidiaries may be required to guarantee the Notes.

The Notes have been issued under an indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that will limit the ability of the Company and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional debt; pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase capital stock, repurchase subordinated debt and make certain investments; create liens; create restrictions on the payment of dividends and other amounts to the Company from restricted subsidiaries; sell assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies; and engage in transactions with affiliates. If an event of default, as specified in the indenture governing the Notes, shall occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of a specified percentage of the Notes may accelerate the maturity of all the Notes. The covenants, events of default and acceleration rights described in this paragraph are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, which are described in the indenture filed herewith.

Under an exchange and registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers listed therein, the Company is obligated, within 365 days after the issuance of the Notes, to file with United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for new notes of the Company having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions). If the Company is not able to effect this

exchange offer, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file, and cause to become effective, a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes and the Note guarantees. The Company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages consisting of additional interest on the Notes if, within the periods specified in the exchange and registration rights agreement, it does not file the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement, have the registration statement declared effective, consummate the exchange offer or have the shelf registration statement declared effective, or if, after the shelf registration statement has been declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or useable (subject to certain exceptions) in connection with resales of notes or exchange notes in accordance with and during the periods specified in the exchange and registration rights agreements.

The descriptions set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the purchase agreement, the indenture and the exchange and registration rights agreement governing the Notes filed herewith as exhibits. The schedules and annexes to the exhibits attached hereto have been omitted. The Company hereby agrees to furnish supplementally a copy of any omitted schedule or annex to the exhibits attached hereto to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon its request.
