Exhibit 4.1
FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
This First Supplemental Indenture (“Supplemental Indenture”) is made as of June 27, 2012, between Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (f/k/a Biovail Corporation), a corporation duly organized and subsisting under the laws of Canada (the “Company”), The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (the "Trustee") and BNY Trust Company of Canada, a Canadian trust corporation, as Co-Trustee (the "Co-Trustee").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee are parties to that certain Indenture, dated as of June 10, 2009 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued its 5.375% Senior Convertible Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”); and
WHEREAS, Section 9.01 of the Indenture provides that without the consent of any Holder, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may amend, modify or supplement the Indenture or the Securities, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, among other things, to correct or supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein; and
WHEREAS, Section 3.03(b)(vi) and Section 13.03(a) of the Indenture are inconsistent, in that Section 3.03(b)(vi) provides that the Notice of Optional Redemption shall state that the Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, while Section 13.03(a) of the Indenture provides that if the Company calls Securities for redemption, a Holder may convert the Securities only until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date unless the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price; and
WHEREAS, Section 13.03(a) of the Indenture provides that, upon the conversion of a Security, where the Company elects to deliver part or all of the conversion consideration in cash, the amount of cash is determined based on a 20 trading day period commencing after (i) the date of the Company's notice of election to deliver all or part of the conversion consideration in cash if it has not given a Redemption Notice, (ii) the conversion date, in the case of conversion following a Notice of Redemption by the Company specifying the Company's intention to deliver cash upon conversion for conversions following the Redemption Notice or (iii) the 22nd scheduled Trading Day prior to the Stated Maturity, in the case of conversion during the period beginning 25 Trading Days before the Stated Maturity, and
WHEREAS, Section 13.03(a) of the Indenture also provides that, if the Company elects to deliver cash in lieu of some or all of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion, the Company will make such payment, including delivery of the Common Shares, through the Conversion Agent, to holders surrendering Securities no later than the 14th Business Day following the Conversion Date; and
WHEREAS, the Company's obligation under Section 13.03(a) of the Indenture to apply a 20 trading day period when determining the amount of cash to be delivered as conversion consideration is inconsistent with the Company's obligation to deliver cash in lieu of some or all of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion no later than the 14th Business Day following the Conversion Date; and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to supplement the Indenture to correct the inconsistencies described above; and
WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore delivered or is delivering contemporaneously herewith to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, (i) a Board Resolution described in Section 9.01 of the Indenture, (ii) an Officers' Certificate described in Section 1.02 of the Indenture and (iii) an Opinion of Counsel described in Sections 1.02 and

9.03 of the Indenture; and
