Upon notification of participation pursuant to clause (ii), an Eligible Employee shall submit a properly completed Participation Agreement and Investment Election Form within the enrollment period established by the Committee. 4 ARTICLE IV DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 4.1 Deferral Election. For each Deferral Period after initial participation commences, a Participant may make a Deferral Election on a voluntary basis by properly completing and submitting a Deferral Election Form and Investment Election Form prior to the first day (January 1) of the Deferral Period for which the Deferral Election is effective. A Participant shall not be obligated to make a Deferral Election in each Deferral Period, and (subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below) a Participant may change the amount of each future Deferral Election. Once a Deferral Period commences for which a Deferral Election is made, such Deferral Election shall continue for the entire Deferral Period except that it shall terminate on Termination of Employment or as otherwise provided in Section 4.4 or Article XI. 4.2 Maximum Deferral Election. A Participant may elect in the Deferral Election Form to defer up to one hundred percent (100%) of Base Salary and/or one hundred percent (100%) of Bonuses earned during the Deferral Period. In its sole discretion, the Committee may also provide other Deferral Election options, including that a Participant may elect to defer a specified dollar amount or a percentage of Bonuses earned during the Deferral Period but limited to the extent such Bonuses exceed a specified dollar amount. A Deferral Election shall be automatically reduced or adjusted if the Committee determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to meet Federal or State tax withholding obligations or to pay for benefits or other obligations arising from the Participant's relationship with the Company. 4.3 Minimum Deferral Election.

Thus, Deferral Elections of Base Salary and Bonuses for the same Deferral Period shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the Participant has elected at least the minimum Deferral Election. In determining, whether the Participant has made the minimum Deferral Election, if the amount is stated in the form of a percentage of Base Salary or Bonuses, the adequacy of the deferral shall be based on the Base Salary and Bonuses earned by the Participant in the Plan Year immediately preceding the Deferral Period. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Participants to elect to defer amounts in the form of a percentage based on anticipated Base Salary and Bonuses. 4.4 Termination of Deferral. If it is evident that a Participant has not or will not actually defer the minimum Deferral Election required by Section 4.3 (whether due to Termination of Employment or otherwise), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Deferral Election and distribute the portion of the Participant's Deferral Account attributable to such Deferral Election in a single lump sum payment with investment earnings or interest credited to the last day of the month preceding distribution at the Fund Rate or Company Rate, as applicable. 5 ARTICLE V DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS 5.1 Deferral Accounts. Solely for record keeping purposes, a Deferral Account shall be maintained for each Participant. For each Plan Year, a Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with the following: (a) Annual Deferrals. Annual Deferrals at the time such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant. (b) Matching Contribution Restoration Credit. If a Participant has contributed the maximum "Before Tax Deposits" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan) permitted under Section 4.2 of the Savings and Investment Plan (but without regard to the catch-up provisions of Section 4.2(e) of the Savings and Investment Plan and Code Section 414(v)) for the Plan Year, then such Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with a "Matching Contribution Restoration Credit" equal to the excess of the dollar amount or value of (i) the Participant's "Matching Contributions" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan), without regard to trust income or earnings, based on such Participant's "Matched Deposits" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan), and such Participant's "Compensation" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan) as increased by any Annual Deferrals made under this Plan up to the limitation imposed by Code Section 401(a)(17), over (ii) the Participant's actual "Matching Contributions" for the Plan Year under the Savings and Investment Plan. The Matching Contribution Restoration Credit (if any) shall be credited to a Participant's Deferral Account after the end of the Plan Year to which such credit relates and after the Participant's "Matching Contributions" for such Plan Year under the Savings and Investment Plan are determined, but not later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year to which such credit relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2000, the Committee shall make the Matching Contribution Restoration Credit contingent on vesting in such amounts under the Savings and Investment Plan. (c) Retirement Contribution Restoration Credit. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, if a Participant is a "Retirement Account Participant" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan) and is eligible to receive a Retirement Contribution allocation pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Savings and Investment Plan for a Plan Year, e.g., employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan Year, then such Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with a "Retirement Contribution Restoration Credit," the amount of which is equal to the excess of the dollar amount of (i) such Participant's "Retirement Contribution" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan), without regard to trust income or earnings, based on the Participant's "Compensation" (as defined in the Savings and Investment Plan) as increased by any Annual Deferrals made under this Plan and without regard to the limitations imposed by Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(a)(17) and 415, over (ii) such Participant's actual "Retirement Contribution" for such Plan Year under the Savings and Investment Plan. The Retirement Contribution Restoration Credit (if any) shall be credited to a Participant's Deferral Account after the end of the Plan Year to which such credit relates and after the Participant's "Retirement Contribution" for such Plan Year under the Savings and Investment Plan is determined, but not later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year to which such credit relates. 6 (d) ESOP Restoration Credit. For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2003, a Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with an "ESOP Restoration Credit" equal to a dollar amount that is one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the excess of (i) the Participant's "Compensation" (as defined in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan) as increased by any Annual Deferrals made under this Plan, the sum of which shall not exceed the limitation imposed by Code Section 401(a)(17), over (ii) the Participant's actual "Compensation" used for purposes of allocations for the Plan Year under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2000, the Committee shall make the ESOP Restoration Credit contingent on vesting in such amounts under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. 5.2 Interest and Investment Earnings on Deferral Accounts. The Deferral Account of a Participant shall be credited with interest or investment earnings at the Company Rate or Fund Rate as provided in Section 5.3. For any portion of the Deferral Account to which the Company Rate is applicable, such portion of the Deferral Account shall be credited each month with interest which shall be compounded on an annual basis under rules determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 5.3 Participant Investment Elections. (a) Deferrals and Restoration Credits on and after January 1, 2002.

The investment allocation of a Participant's Restoration Credits to Fund Media shall be the allocation selected by the Participant in his or her most recent Investment Election Form. If a Participant does not submit an Investment Election Form or otherwise select the Fund Media for his or her Restoration Credits, then such Restoration Credits shall be subject to the Travelers Money Market Portfolio listed on Appendix A (or, if the Travelers Money Market Portfolio is unavailable for any reason, then such Fund Media as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion), until superseded by a subsequent Investment Election Form properly completed and submitted by such Participant. (b) Deferrals and Restoration Credits on and after January 1, 2000 and prior to January 1, 2002. Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence herein, any Annual Deferrals made by a Participant and any Restoration Credits credited to a Participant's Deferral Account on or after January 1, 2000 shall be credited with investment earnings at the Fund Rate and shall not be eligible to be credited with interest at the Company Rate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Eligible Employee who was a Participant as of November 1, 1999 and who, prior to January 1, 2000, had attained the age of fifty-five (55) and had completed at least five (5) years of Credited Service shall be entitled to elect the investment of all or any portion of any Annual Deferrals made by such Participant and any Restoration Credits credited to a Participant's Deferral Account on or after January 1, 2000 and for Deferral Periods beginning prior to January 1, 2002 at the Company Rate or the Fund Rate.

If the 25% aggregate limit is exceeded, requests will be granted under a hierarchy established by the Committee taking into account, in the following order of preference: (i) Financial Hardship withdrawals, (ii) Unscheduled Withdrawals, and (iii) investment transfers. (3) An investment transfer from the Company Rate to the Fund Rate shall be irrevocable. (d) Transfers from Company Rate to Fund Rate prior to March 1, 2002.

The Participant shall make such election, including the allocation among Fund Media, by submitting an Investment Election Form. (e) Allocation to Fund Media. With respect to any portion of the Deferral Account to which the Fund Rate applies, the Participant may prospectively change the investment allocation to Fund Media on a monthly basis in whole or part by submitting an Investment Election Form or by using such electronic means and under such procedures as the Committee may permit. 5.4 Fund Media.

Notwithstanding the election under this Article, if benefit payments with respect to a Deferral Election are otherwise made at a time earlier than elected under an In-Service Distribution, for example due to an Unscheduled Withdrawal, the In-Service Distribution shall be superseded by such earlier distribution event and shall be reduced or eliminated to such extent. 10.3 Timing of In-Service Distribution. The In-Service Distribution shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum, or in two (2), three (3) or four (4) annual installments as elected by the Participant in the Deferral Election Form. However, in no event shall the In-Service Distribution be paid or commence at the time before the second (2nd) year following the first business day of the Deferral Period to which the In-Service Distribution relates. A Participant may elect to change the date on which an In-Service Distribution is to be paid or commence provided that no more than two such changes shall be permitted and provided further that the election must be made with at least twelve (12) months advance notice under procedures adopted by the Committee. ARTICLE XI UNSCHEDULED AND FINANCIAL HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS 11.1 Unscheduled Withdrawals. A Participant may take Unscheduled Withdrawals (but no more than one in any Plan Year) of his or her Annual Deferrals from his or her Deferral Account. The amount of any Unscheduled Withdrawal shall be equal to the portion of the Deferral Account attributable to one or more Deferral Elections that have been previously completed and shall include (i) interest credited, to the extent that the Company Rate applies, at the Company Rate, and (ii) investment earnings, to the extent that the Fund Rate applies, at the Fund Rate. In any case where an Unscheduled Withdrawal occurs, the Participant may select, if applicable, whether such amounts will be from the portion of the Deferral Account invested at the Company Rate, if any, or the Fund Rate. Effective March 1, 2002, to the extent a Participant selects his or her Unscheduled Withdrawal from the portion of his or her Deferral Account invested at the Company Rate, that portion of the withdrawal shall be paid at the time and subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.3(c). The Committee may establish the date by which an Unscheduled Withdrawal from the portion of his or her Deferral Account invested at the Company Rate must be requested in order to process the request in a timely manner. 11.2 Financial Hardship Withdrawal. A Participant may request that the Committee permit him or her to take a withdrawal or withdrawals of his or her Annual Deferrals on account of Financial Hardship (as defined in Section 2.21). In such event, the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether a Financial Hardship exists and, if it so determines, whether the Participant should be permitted to take such a withdrawal. The Committee shall also determine the amount of the permitted withdrawal, which shall not exceed the amount necessary to address the Financial Hardship, and whether the Participant must reduce or cease a current Deferral Election, if any, as a condition for a Financial Hardship withdrawal. Effective March 1, 2002, to the extent a Financial Hardship withdrawal is from the portion of a Participant's Deferral Account invested at the Company Rate, that portion of the withdrawal shall be paid at the time subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.3(c). The Committee may establish the date by which 13 a Financial Hardship withdrawal from the portion of his or her Deferral Account invested at the Company Rate must be requested in order to process the request in a timely manner. 11.3 Penalty for Unscheduled Withdrawals. There shall be a penalty charged against the Deferral Account of a Participant at the time of an Unscheduled Withdrawal. The penalty shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the Unscheduled Withdrawal, except the penalty shall be five percent (5%) if the Unscheduled Withdrawal is made within two (2) years following a Change in Control (as defined in Section 14.2). In addition to the foregoing penalty, upon taking an Unscheduled Withdrawal a Participant's current Deferral Election, if any, shall automatically be deemed terminated and the Participant may not make a new Deferral Election for the next following Deferral Period. ARTICLE XII ADDITIONAL BENEFIT PAYMENT RULES 12.1 Small Benefit Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event that the payment of a Deferral Account (or total remaining installments under any method) to a Participant or Beneficiary is fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to make such payment(s) in a single lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable. 12.2 Constructive Receipt. The Committee may change any election or option available under the Plan, or the form or timing of any benefit payment, if the Committee determines, based on the advice of counsel or other consultants to the Company, that such a change is necessary or advisable in order to avoid or limit the risk of adverse tax consequences, to Participants or Beneficiaries based on application of the doctrine of "constructive receipt" or a similar Federal or State tax principle. 12.3 Postponement of Payment. If a distribution of all or part of a Deferral Account would not be deductible to the Company because of the restrictions imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor provision), such distribution shall be postponed (to the extent necessary) to the first business day of the first Plan Year in which the limitation on deductibility would not apply. Any postponed distribution under this Section shall be credited with interest or investment earnings at the rate otherwise applicable to the Deferral Account at the time when the distribution was originally scheduled for payment. 12.4 Commencement Date and Investment and Interest Crediting for Benefit Payments. Unless the Plan specifically provides otherwise, benefit payments (whether a single lump sum payment or installments) shall commence to a Participant or Beneficiary no later than sixty (60) days from the date of the event, e.g., Termination of Employment or request for Unscheduled Withdrawal, that gives rise to such payments. Installment payments shall be made on the same day of each quarter or year (depending on whether quarterly or annual installments apply) following the initial payment. With respect to amounts in a Deferral Account subject to the Company Rate, interest on a single lump sum payment or on a first installment payment shall be credited through the end of the month in which the date of the event that gives rise to such payment occurs. Interest on subsequent installment payments shall be credited through the end 14 of the month preceding payment. With respect to amounts in a Deferral Account subject to the Fund Rate, investment earnings shall be credited to the date that the Committee selects in its sole discretion for valuation for distribution purposes and the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to reflect investment earnings where benefit payments are to be paid in installments. ARTICLE XIII ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 13.1 Administration by Committee. This Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") which shall exercise such powers and have such duties in administering the Plan as are hereinafter set forth. The Board of Directors shall determine the number of members of such Committee. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board and such Board shall from time to time fill all vacancies occurring in said Committee. A member of the Committee may be a Participant in this Plan; provided, however, that any action to be taken by the Committee solely with respect to the particular interest in this Plan of a Committee member shall be taken by the remaining members of the Committee. 13.2 Committee Authority; Rules and Regulations. The Committee shall have discretionary authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of the Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan, and (iii) take or approve all such other actions relating to the Plan (other than amending or terminating the Plan); provided, however, that the Board may, by written notice to the Committee, withdraw all or any part of the Committee's authority at any time, in which case such withdrawn authority shall immediately revest in the Board. The decision or action of the Committee in respect of any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of this Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan. 13.3 Appointment of Agents. In the administration of the Plan, the Board and the Committee may from time to time employ agents (which may include officers and employees or the Company) and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company. 13.4 Application of Benefits. The Committee may require any person claiming benefits under the Plan to submit an application therefor, together with such documents and information as the Committee may require. In the case of any person suffering from a disability or other condition which prevents such person from making personal application for benefits, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit application to be made by another person acting on his or her behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee shall have all information necessary to determine the amount and form of Plan benefits payable to a Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to benefit payments under this Plan (including, to the extent applicable and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the name, age, sex and proper mailing address of all parties entitled to benefit payments), then the failure of a Participant or Beneficiary to file an application for benefits shall not cause the Committee to defer the 15 commencement of benefit payments beyond the benefit commencement date required under this Plan. 13.5 Claims Procedures. If a Participant or his or her Beneficiary believes that he or she is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, the Participant, Beneficiary, or in either case, his or her authorized representative (the "Claimant") shall follow the administrative procedures for filing a claim for benefits as set forth in this Section. A claim for benefits shall be in writing and shall be reviewed by the Committee or a claims official designated by the Committee. The Committee or claims official shall review a claim for benefits in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee subject to the following administrative procedures set forth in this Section. (a) The Committee shall furnish the Claimant with written or electronic notice of the decision rendered with respect to a claim for benefits within 90 days following receipt by the Committee (or its delegate) of the claim unless the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In the event an extension is necessary, written or electronic notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial 90 day period. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which a final decision is expected to be rendered. In no event shall the period of the extension exceed 90 days from the end of the initial 90 day period. (b) In the case of a denial of the Claimant's claim, the written or electronic notice of such denial shall set forth (i) the specific reasons for the denial, (ii) references to the Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional information or material necessary for perfection of the claim (together with an explanation why such material or information is necessary), (iv) an explanation of the Plan's appeals procedures, and (v) a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA if his or her claim is denied upon appeal. (c) In the case of a denial of a claim, a Claimant who wishes to appeal the decision shall follow the administrative procedures for an appeal as set forth in Section 13.6 below. 13.6 Appeals Procedures. A Claimant who wishes to appeal the denial of his or her claim for benefits shall follow the administrative procedures for an appeal as set forth in this Section and shall exhaust such administrative procedures prior to seeking any other form of relief. Appeals shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee subject to the following administrative procedures set forth in this Section. (a) In order to appeal a decision rendered with respect to his or her claim for benefits, a Claimant must file an appeal with the Committee in writing within 60 days following his or her receipt of the notice of denial with respect to the claim. (b) The Claimant's appeal may include written comments, documents, records and other information relating to his or her claim. The Claimant may review all pertinent documents and, upon request, shall have reasonable access to or be provided free of charge, copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to his or her claim. 16 (c) The Committee shall provide a full and fair review of the appeal and shall take into account all claim related comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered under the initial determination or review of the initial determination. Where appropriate, the Committee will overturn a notice of denial if it determines that an error was made in the interpretation of the controlling plan documents or if the Committee determines that an existing interpretation of the controlling plan documents should be changed on a prospective basis. In the event the Claimant is a subordinate, as determined by the Committee, to an individual conducting the review, such individual shall recuse himself or herself from the review of the appeal. (d) The Committee shall furnish the Claimant with written or electronic notice of the decision rendered with respect to an appeal within 60 days following receipt by the Committee of the appeal unless the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the appeal. In the event an extension is necessary, written or electronic notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial 60 day period. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which a final decision is expected to be rendered. In no event shall the period of the extension exceed 60 days from the end of the initial 60 day period. (e) In the case of a denial of an appeal, the written or electronic notice of such denial shall set forth (i) the specific reasons for the denial, (ii) references to the Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (iii) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relating to his or her claim for benefits, and (iv) a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. ARTICLE XIV CHANGE IN CONTROL 14.1 Effect of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event that a Change in Control (as defined in Section 14.2) occurs on or after the Effective Date hereof, the Company may not amend or terminate the Plan in any manner in order to (i) change downward the method of determining the interest rate to be credited to the Deferral Accounts of Participants thereafter without the written consent of such Participants or (ii) modify or eliminate any distribution method, selection of Fund Media, option or election (including all such methods, options and elections set forth in Articles V through XII of the Plan) available to Participants with respect to Deferral Accounts and Deferral Elections that exist on the date such Change in Control occurs. 14.2 Change in Control. As used in this Plan, "Change in Control" shall mean the following and shall be deemed to occur if any of the following events occur: (a) Any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (a "Person"), is or becomes the "beneficial owner," as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (a "Beneficial Owner"), 17 directly or indirectly, of securities of Allergan representing (i) 20% or more of the combined voting power of Allergan's then outstanding voting securities, which acquisition is not approved in advance of the acquisition or within 30 days after the acquisition by a majority of the Incumbent Board (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) 33% or more of the combined voting power of Allergan's then outstanding voting securities, without regard to whether such acquisition is approved by the Incumbent Board; (b) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by Allergan's stockholders, is approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the directors of Allergan, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall, for the purposes of this Plan, be considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board of Allergan; (c) The consummation of a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving Allergan, other than one which satisfies both of the following conditions: (1) a merger, consolidation or reorganization which would result in the voting securities of Allergan outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of another entity) at least 55% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Allergan or such other entity resulting from the merger, consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving Corporation") outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization and being held in substantially the same proportion as the ownership in Allergan's voting securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, and (2) a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Allergan representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of Allergan's then outstanding voting securities; or (d) The stockholders of Allergan approve a plan of complete liquidation of Allergan or an agreement for the sale or other disposition by Allergan of all or substantially all of Allergan's assets. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 14.2, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Person described in the preceding provisions of this Section 14.2 is (i) an underwriter or underwriting syndicate that has acquired the ownership of any of Allergan's then outstanding voting securities solely in connection with a public offering of Allergan's securities, (ii) Allergan or any subsidiary of Allergan or (iii) an employee stock ownership plan or other employee benefit plan maintained by Allergan (or any of its affiliated 18 companies) that is qualified under the provisions of the Code. In addition, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 14.2, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred, (i) if the Person described in the preceding provisions of this Section 14.2 becomes a Beneficial Owner of more than the permitted amount of outstanding securities as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by Allergan which, by reducing the number of voting securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares beneficially owned by such Person, provided, that if a Change in Control would occur but for the operation of this sentence and such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional voting securities (other than through the exercise of options granted under any stock option plan of the Company or through a stock dividend or stock split), then a Change in Control shall occur, and (ii) upon the distribution of the stock of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. on June 29, 2002 by Allergan to its stockholders. ARTICLE XV ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST AND INSURANCE CONTRACTS 15.1 Establishment of Trust. Contemporaneous with the adoption of this Plan, the Company has established the Trust Agreement for Allergan, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Trust" or "Trust Agreement"). The Trust created thereunder is a grantor trust within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code. Mellon Bank, N.A. has been named as Trustee under such Trust Agreement. The provisions of the Trust Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. 15.2 Funding of Trust. All amounts of Base Salary or Bonuses that are subject to Deferral Elections by Participants under this Plan shall be contributed by the Company to the Trust (or directly to insurance contracts or other investment vehicles to be held by the Trustee as part of the Trust's assets) at or about the same time as such amounts are credited to the Deferral Accounts of Participants. 15.3 Investment in Insurance Contracts. The Committee shall direct the Trustee to invest the majority or all of the assets of the Trust in life insurance contracts, to be selected by the Committee, on the lives of Participants. In order for a Participant's Participation Agreement to be effective, the Committee may require that each Participant cooperate in signing an insurance application, submit to medical examination, and provide any relevant information to third parties, including the insurance company(ies) or outside consultants. Such information shall be held in confidence by those who receive it and such information shall not be provided to the Committee or the Company. Participation shall not be denied to an Eligible Employee because he or she is not insurable or must be rated in order for insurance to be issued. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, if insurance is denied or discontinued because a Participant fails to disclose (or makes a material misrepresentation of) medical or other information, or if the Participant commits suicide during the first two (2) years of participation in the Plan, any amounts which are deferred by the Participant under a Deferral Election shall be repaid to the Participant with interest credited at eighty percent (80%) of the Company Rate to the extent the Company Rate applies, and with investment earnings credited at the Fund Rate to the extent that the Fund Rate applies, and no other benefits shall be due to the Participant. 19 15.4 Investment in Fund Media. With respect to assets of the Trust attributable to Deferral Elections where the Fund Rate applies, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, methods by electronic means or otherwise for Participants (or the Committee where the Plan so provides) to make or change investment decisions consistent with the terms of the Plan. ARTICLE XVI MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 16.1 Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant shall be entitled to designate one or more individuals or entities, in any combination, as his or her "Beneficiary" or "Beneficiaries" to receive any Plan payments to which such Participant is entitled as of, or by reason of, his or her death. Any such designation may be made or changed at any time prior to the Participant's death by written notice filed with the Committee, with such written notice to be in such form and contain such information as the Committee may from time to time determine. In the event that either (i) a Beneficiary designation is not on file at the date of a Participant's death, (ii) no Beneficiary survives the Participant, or (iii) no Beneficiary is living at the time any payment becomes payable under this Plan, then, for purposes of making any further payment of any unpaid benefits under this Plan, such Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be deemed to be the estate of the Participant. 16.2 Payments During Incapacity. In the event a Participant (or Beneficiary) is under mental or physical incapacity at the time of any payment to be made to such Participant (or Beneficiary) pursuant to this Plan, any such payment may be made to the conservator or other legally appointed personal representative having authority over and responsibility for the person or estate of such Participant (or Beneficiary), as the case may be, and for purposes of such payment references in this Plan to the Participant (or Beneficiary) shall mean and refer to such conservator or other personal representative, whichever is applicable. In the absence or any lawfully appointed conservator or other personal representative of the person or estate of the Participant (or Beneficiary), any such payment may be made to any person or institution that has apparent responsibility for the person and/or estate or the Participant (or Beneficiary) as determined by the Committee. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.2 to a person or institution other than the Participant (or Beneficiary) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Plan as the equivalent of a payment to such Participant (or Beneficiary), and the Company shall have no further obligation or responsibility with respect to such payment. 16.3 Prohibition Against Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 16.1 and 16.2 hereof, the rights, interests and benefits of a Participant under this Plan (i) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, gifted, bequeathed or otherwise disposed of to any other party by such Participant or any Beneficiary, executor, administrator, heir, distributee or other person claiming under such Participant, and (ii) shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, gift, bequest or other disposition of such rights, interests or benefits contrary to the foregoing provisions of this Section 16.3 shall be null and void and without effect. 20 16.4 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon the Company, the Participants and any successor-in-interest to the Company or to any Participant. 16.5 No Transfer of Interest. Other than as provided in Article XV and in the Trust Agreement, benefits under this Plan shall be payable solely from the general assets of the Company and no person shall be entitled to look to any source for payment of such benefits other than the general assets of the Company. The Company shall have and possess all title to, and beneficial interest in, any and all funds or reserves maintained or held by the Company on account of any obligation to pay benefits as required under this Plan, whether or not earmarked by the Company as a fund or reserve for such purpose; any such funds or reserves shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company, and the provisions of this Plan are not intended to create, and shall not be interpreted as vesting, in any Participant, Beneficiary or other person, any right to or beneficial interest in any such funds or reserves. 16.6 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may amend this Plan from time to time in any respect that it deems appropriate or desirable, and may terminate this Plan at any time; provided, however, that any such Plan amendment or Plan termination shall not, without a Participant's written consent, be given effect with respect to such Participant to the extent such Plan amendment or Plan termination operates to reduce or eliminate (except to the extent that amounts are distributed under the Plan) such Participant's Deferral Account as of the date of such amendment or termination. In addition, if the Board amends the Plan so as to make a change in the formula for determining the interest rate to be credited under the Plan, such amendment shall not become effective until thirty (30) days advance written notice is given to Participants. 16.7 No Right to Employment. This Plan is voluntary on the part of the Company, and the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute an employment contract between the Company and any Participant, nor shall the adoption or existence of the Plan or any provision contained in the Plan be deemed to be a required condition of the employment of any Participant. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to continued employment with the Company, and the Company may terminate any Participant at any time, in which case the Participant's rights arising under this Plan shall be only those expressly provided under the terms of this Plan. 16.8 Notices. All notices, requests, or other communications (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Notices") required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Plan shall be in writing and may be personally delivered, or may be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows: To the Company Allergan, Inc. or the Committee at: Attention: Corporate Benefits Committee (Executive Deferred Compensation Plan) 2525 Dupont Drive Irvine, CA 92612 cc: General Counsel 21 To Participant at: The Participant's residential mailing address as reflected in the Company's employment records A Notice which is delivered personally shall be deemed given as of the date or personal delivery, and a Notice mailed as provided herein shall be deemed given on the second business day following the date so mailed.

The Company and/or the Committee may at any time change its address for purposes of Notices hereunder pursuant to a Notice to all Participants, given as provided herein, advising the Participants of such change. 16.9 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the internal laws (and not the laws pertaining to conflicts or choice of laws), of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within the State of California. 16.10 Titles and Headings; Gender of Terms. Article and Section headings herein are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed to be part of the substance of this Plan or in any way to enlarge or limit the meaning or interpretation of any provision in this Plan. Use in this Plan of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to include each of the omitted genders if the context so requires. 16.11 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any other provision contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions shall be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid and unenforceable provision was not contained herein. 16.12 Tax Effect of Plan. The Company does not warrant any tax benefit nor any financial benefit under the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, directors, officers, and employees of the Company (other than in their capacity as Participants) shall be held harmless by the Company from, and shall not be subject to any liability on account of, any Federal or State tax consequences or any consequences under ERISA of any determination as to the amount of Plan benefits to be paid, the method by which Plan benefits are paid, the persons to whom Plan benefits are paid, or the commencement or termination of the payment of Plan benefits.
