Section 5.9 of the Plan is amended as follows: 5.9 Form of Distribution. -------------------- (a) All shares of Company Stock or Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. allocated to a Participant's ESOP Account shall be distributed in the form of cash, unless the Participant elects under paragraph (b) below to receive the distribution in the form of Company Stock or Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. stock, with cash in lieu of fractional shares. To the extent that Company Stock or Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. stock must be valued to effect such a distribution, such valuation shall be equal to the fair market value of such stock determined as of the last Valuation Date prior to the date of distribution.

Any cash or other property, including Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. stock, in a Participant's ESOP Account ("non-Company Stock assets") shall be used to acquire Company Stock for distribution only if such Participant further elects and only if such stock is available on the open market. If such Participant elects to receive the non-Company Stock assets in his or her ESOP Account in Company Stock and such stock is available on the open market, the value of such non-Company Stock assets shall be used to acquire such whole shares of Company Stock as may be acquired with such value and any remaining amount shall be distributed in cash. 2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable corporate charter or bylaw provisions restrict ownership of substantially all outstanding Company Stock to Employees or to a plan or trust described in Code Section 401(a), then any distribution of a Participant's ESOP Account shall only be in cash.

Any election to diversify shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible and subject to paragraph (e) below. A Qualified Participant shall effect a diversification election by properly completing and submitting the form authorized by the Committee for this purpose. 6.

The Committee may direct the Trustee to have the Plan enter into one or more Exempt Loans to finance the acquisition of Company Stock for the Trust Fund.

Each Participant shall have a subaccount under the Plan corresponding to the Participant's interest which is allocated to each investment fund. Each such subaccount may be valued separately. The manner in which assets of the Trust shall be invested in such investment funds, including the establishment of alternative investment funds, the elimination of any previously established funds, or the placement of limitations on the availability of an investment fund to Participants, shall be chosen by the Committee at its discretion. Amounts invested in any one of the investment funds shall not share in gains and losses experienced by any other fund. Notwithstanding the establishment of separate investment funds within the Trust, the Trust shall at all times constitute a single trust. 8. Section 6.3 of the Plan is amended by adding the following paragraph (d): (d) A Participant may elect at any time to transfer any cash or other property, including shares of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. ("non-Company Stock assets") or amounts previously diversified under Section 5.12, accumulated in his or her ESOP Account among any of the investment funds currently offered and currently available to Participants as determined by the Committee pursuant to paragraph (c) above; provided, however, the total amount transferred shall be made in 1% increments of the amount accumulated in such funds. Any transfer among investment funds shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible. A Participant shall effect a transfer election by properly completing and submitting the form authorized by the Committee for this purpose. 9.

Such fiduciaries set forth in the preceding sentence shall be under no duty to question the investment direction of the Participant or Beneficiary or to advise a Participant or Beneficiary as to the manner in which his or her ESOP Account is to be invested.
