NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

August 26, 2008

To the Purchaser named in Schedule 1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ledgemont Royalty Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Indevus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereby covenant and agree with you as follows:

ARTICLE I

INTRODUCTORY

Section 1.1 Introductory. The Issuer proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to the purchaser named in Schedule 1 (the “Purchaser”) and to the Other Note Purchasers the beneficial interests in the Global Notes evidencing $105,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s Ledgemont PhaRMASM Secured 16% Notes due 2024. The Original Class A Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture.

The Original Class A Notes will be offered and sold to the Purchaser and the Other Note Purchasers (collectively, the “Note Purchasers”) in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Issuer will use the net proceeds from the offering of the Original Class A Notes to fund a portion of the Purchase Price to obtain the Purchased Assets, to pay the expenses associated with the issuance of the Original Class A Notes and to fund the Interest Reserve Account in the amount of the Initial Interest Reserve Amount.

ARTICLE II

RULES OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINED TERMS

Section 2.1 Rules of Construction and Defined Terms. The rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall apply to this Note Purchase Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Note Purchase Agreement as if set forth fully in this Note Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note Purchase Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Annex A, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Note Purchase Agreement as if set forth fully in this Note Purchase Agreement. Not all terms defined in Annex A are used in this Note Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE III

SALE AND PURCHASE OF ORIGINAL CLASS A NOTES; CLOSING

Section 3.1 Sale and Purchase of Original Class A Notes; Closing. On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Note Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will issue and sell the Original Class A Notes to the Purchaser,

 

1


and the Purchaser will purchase, the principal amount of Original Class A Notes set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1. The Purchaser will purchase such principal amount of Original Class A Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Price”). Contemporaneously with entering into this Note Purchase Agreement, the Issuer is entering into separate Note Purchase Agreements (the “Other Agreements”) substantially identical to this Note Purchase Agreement with other note purchasers (the “Other Note Purchasers”), providing for the sale on the Closing Date to each of the Other Note Purchasers of Original Class A Notes in the principal amount specified opposite its name in Schedule 1 to such Other Agreement, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Other Prices” and, together with the Price, the “Note Purchase Price”). The Issuer shall not be obligated to deliver, and no Note Purchaser shall be required to purchase, any of the Original Class A Notes except upon delivery of and payment for all the Original Class A Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date.

On the Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver one or more Global Notes for the account of DTC evidencing the aggregate principal amount of Original Class A Notes to be acquired by all Note Purchasers pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements. The Issuer will deliver the Global Notes to DTC against payment by each such Note Purchaser of its respective portion of the aggregate Note Purchase Price for its beneficial interest therein by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Trustee Closing Account. Delivery to each Note Purchaser of the Original Class A Notes shall be made through the facilities of DTC on the Closing Date, upon payment therefor by each such Note Purchaser of its respective portion of the aggregate Note Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Trustee Closing Account. The Issuer and Indevus shall cause the Trustee to hold all such funds in trust for the Note Purchasers pending completion of the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Note Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Trustee of the aggregate Note Purchase Price from all Note Purchasers and the satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in Article VI, the Issuer and Indevus shall cause the Trustee to disburse the Note Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Indenture. If the aggregate Note Purchase Price shall not have been received by the Trustee by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, or if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreements shall not otherwise be capable of being consummated by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, then each Note Purchaser who has paid its respective portion of the Note Purchase Price shall have the right to instruct the Trustee at or after 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date to return, and the Issuer and Indevus shall cause the Trustee to return, such portion of the Note Purchase Price to such Note Purchaser prior to the close of business on the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

If the Global Notes shall not be tendered for the benefit of any Note Purchaser for the account of DTC in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, or any of the conditions specified in Article VI shall not have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of any Note Purchaser, such Note Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all obligations (other than confidentiality obligations) under the applicable Note Purchase Agreement.

(b) If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment or order in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder to any Noteholder from U.S. dollars into another currency, each of the Issuer and Indevus has agreed, and each Noteholder by holding an Original Class A Note will be deemed to have agreed, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Noteholder could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(c) The obligation of each of the Issuer and Indevus in respect of any sum payable by it to a Noteholder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or order in a Judgment Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by such Noteholder of such security of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Noteholder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with the Judgment Currency.
