A&R OTHER CASH-BASED AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED & RESTATED OTHER CASH-BASED AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Award Agreement”), dated as of [●], is made by and between Allergan plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”), as successor to Actavis, Inc., and the Employee whose name and signature appears on the Notice of Grant and Signature Page hereof (“Holder”).

WHEREAS, the Company granted Holder an Other Cash-Based Award (the “Award”), pursuant to the terms and conditions and restrictions of the Notice of Grant and Signature Page, this Other Cash-Based Award Agreement (including, in the case of Foreign Holders, the Foreign Country Appendix) and The Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan of Allergan plc, as amended from time to time (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Award Agreement, the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the divestiture of the Company’s generics business and consistent with the adjustment provisions provided in this Award Agreement and the Adjustments and Defined Terms Appendix to this Award Agreement, the Committee has determined that it would be to the advantage and best interest of the Company and its shareholders to amend the Award to modify the performance criteria underlying the Award in order for the Award to adequately serve as an inducement for Holder to enter into or remain in the service of the Company or its Subsidiaries and as an incentive for increased efforts during such service and to restate the terms and conditions of the Award.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GRANT OF AWARD

Section 1.1Grant of Award. In consideration of the recitals, Holder’s agreement to remain in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company granted to Holder an Award on the Date of Grant as specified in the Notice of Grant and Signature Page upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement (including, in the case of Foreign Holders, the Foreign Country Appendix).

Section 1.2 - Consideration to the Company. As partial consideration for the grant of the Other Award by the Company, Holder agreed to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or a Subsidiary. Nothing in this Award Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ or services of the Company or any Subsidiary, or as a director of the Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and any Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written employment or other agreement between Holder and the Company and any Subsidiary.

(d) For purposes of this Section 2.2, “Termination of Employment” has the definition contained in the Plan; provided, however, that upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Holder, Holder’s cessation of employment shall not be considered a Termination of Employment if Holder continues to hold the position of a member of the Board of Directors of the Company as of the employment termination date, or becomes a member of the Board of Directors as of the employment termination date. Any reference to a Termination of Employment shall thereinafter be the date upon which Holder ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.

Relative TSR Percentile Rank” means the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the companies in the Peer Group during the TSR Performance Period, determined by the Compensation Committee as follows: (i) first, the Compensation Committee will rank the TSR of the Company and the companies in the Peer Group (with the company having the lowest TSR being ranked number 1, the company with the second-lowest TSR being ranked number 2, and so on) and (ii) second, the Company’s Relative TSR Percentage Rank will be determined by dividing (a) the Company’s position in such ranking by (b) the total number of companies in the Peer Group (including, for these purposes, the Company) and rounding to the nearest hundredth.

TSR” means total shareholder return as applied to the Company and each of the companies in the Peer Group, and will be equal to (i) (a) the applicable Ending Stock Price minus the applicable Beginning Stock Price, plus (b) dividends paid with respect to a record date occurring during the TSR Performance Period, divided by (ii) the applicable Beginning Stock Price. For purposes of calculating TSR:

(1) Any dividend paid in cash shall be valued at its cash amount. Any dividend paid in securities with a readily ascertainable fair market value shall be valued at the market value of the securities as of the dividend record date.

(2) If any company included in the Peer Group on the Date of Grant (and any successor to such company) does not have a common stock price that is quoted on a national securities exchange at the end of the TSR Performance Period, then such company will be removed from the Peer Group; provided that if any company included in the Peer Group on the Date of Grant (and any successor to such company) (a) files for bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (b) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that is not dismissed within 30 days, (c) is the subject of a shareholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution or (d) ceases to conduct substantial business operations, the TSR of such company shall be zero (0) for purposes of determining Relative TSR Percentile Rank.

In the event that the Relative TSR Percentile Rank is less than the 50th percentile, the TSR Vesting Percentage shall be equal to 0%. In the event that the Relative TSR Percentile Rank during the TSR Performance Period falls between the Threshold Level and the Target Level, the TSR Vesting Percentage shall be determined using straight line linear interpolation between the Threshold Level and the Target Level TSR Vesting Percentages specified above. In the event that the Relative TSR Percentile Rank during the TSR Performance Period falls between the Target Level and the Maximum Level, the TSR Vesting Percentage shall be determined using straight line linear interpolation between the Target Level and the Maximum Level TSR Vesting Percentages specified above. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the Relative TSR Percentile Rank, in the event the Company’s TSR for the TSR Performance Period is a negative number, the TSR Vesting Percentage shall not exceed 100%.
