ALLERGAN, INC.
PENSION PLAN

ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Plan Name. This document, made and entered into by Allergan, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Allergan") amends and restates in its entirety the
"Allergan, Inc. Pension Plan (Restated 2003)" and shall be known hereafter as
the "Allergan, Inc. Pension Plan (Restated 2005)."

1.2 Plan Purpose. The purpose of the Allergan, Inc. Pension Plan (Restated
2005), hereinafter referred to as the "Plan," is to provide additional
retirement income to Eligible Employees of Allergan, and any Affiliated
Companies that are authorized by the Board of Directors of Allergan to
participate in the Plan for their future economic security. The Plan is fully
funded through Company contributions and the assets of the Plan shall be
administered, distributed, forfeited and otherwise governed by the provisions of
the Plan, which is to be administered by the Committee for the exclusive benefit
of Participants in the Plan and their Beneficiaries.

1.3 Effective Date of 2005 Restated Plan. The Effective Date of this
amended and restated Plan shall be January 1, 2005 unless otherwise specified in
the Plan. The provisions of this Plan document apply generally to Employees who
have completed at least one (1) Hour of Service for Allergan or any Affiliated
Companies on or after January 1, 2005 and the rights and benefits, if any, of
Employees or Participants whose employment with Allergan or any Affiliated
Companies terminated prior to January 1, 2005 shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan then in effect unless otherwise provided herein
and subject to any modification provided herein that may affect the payment of
benefits under the Plan.

1.4 Amendments to Plan. The Plan has been amended from time to time since
its Original Effective Date of July 26, 1989 to reflect changes in the Plan's
operations and applicable law including, but not limited to, the following:

(a) This Plan document amends the Plan to eliminate the mandatory
cash-out of Accrued Benefits that do not exceed $5,000 effective March 28,
2005. The Plan document also incorporates the amendments made under the
First and Second Amendments to the Plan (Restated 2003).

(b) During the 2002 Plan Year, under election procedures established
by Allergan, all Employees who are Eligible Employees (as defined in
Section 2.17(b)) on September 30, 2002 shall be provided with the
opportunity to make a one-time irrevocable election to either (i) continue
active participation in the Plan for Plan Years beginning on and after
January 1, 2003 until their participation is terminated under the terms of
the Plan or (ii) cease active participation in the Plan for Plan Years
beginning on and after January 1, 2003 and be eligible to receive an
allocation equal to 5% of compensation under the Allergan, Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan as provided under

<PAGE>

and subject to the terms of that plan. Eligible Employees who elect to
cease active participation in the Plan: (i) shall not be credited with
Benefit Years after December 31, 2002 but shall continue to be credited
with Vesting Years as provided under the terms of the Plan and (ii) shall
be entitled to a monthly pension upon completing five (5) Vesting Years or
upon reaching the Special Retirement Eligibility Date and completing one
(1) Vesting Year, the amount of which shall be equal to his or her Accrued
Benefit determined as of December 31, 2002, at such times and in such forms
as permitted under the Plan.

(c) In connection with the distribution of the stock of Advanced
Medical Optics, Inc. ("AMO") by Allergan to its stockholders on June 29,
2002, (i) AMO Employees (as defined in Section 2.20) shall cease to be
eligible to participate in the Plan and shall cease to be credited with
Benefit Years and Vesting Years under the Plan, (ii) AMO Employees shall
have a nonforfeitable interest in their Accrued Benefits notwithstanding
Section 5.11, and (iii) the assets attributable to, and the liabilities
relating to, arising out of, or resulting from the Accrued Benefits of AMO
Employees shall remain with the Pension Plan and shall be payable from the
Plan to AMO Employees at such times and in such forms as permitted under
the Plan.

(d) In connection with the closure of the Allergan, Inc. Medical
Plastics facility in Santa Ana, California ("Medical Plastics"), (i)
Participants whose employment is terminated as a result of the closure of
Medical Plastics, as determined by the payroll records of the Sponsor or
any Affiliated Company shall have a nonforfeitable interest in their
Accrued Benefits notwithstanding Section 5.11 effective as of their
termination dates, and (ii) the Accrued Benefits of such Participants shall
be payable from the Plan to such Participants at such times and in such
forms as permitted under the Plan.

1.5 Plan Qualification. The Plan is an employee benefit plan that is
intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a) as a qualified pension plan so as
to assure that the trust created under the Plan is tax exempt pursuant to Code
Section 501(a). The Plan's last determination letter was issued by the Internal
Revenue Service on March 7, 2003 with respect to the Allergan, Inc. Pension Plan
(Restated 2003) and its compliance with the changes to the qualification
requirements made by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (GATT), the Uniformed
Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Internal Revenue
Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, and the Community Renewal Tax
Relief Act of 2000. It is intended that the Economic Growth and Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA") provisions of the Plan are to be regarded
as good faith compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and are to be construed
in accordance with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder.

2.17 Eligible Employee. "Eligible Employee" shall mean:

established by the Sponsor to continue as an Active Participant for Plan
Years beginning on or after January 1, 2003 and who did not incur a
Severance on or after October 1, 2002. An "Election Eligible Employee" is
any Employee who is an Eligible Employee (as defined in paragraph (b)
below) on September 30, 2002. The classification of an Employee as an
Eligible Employee for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2003

(b) For the 2002 Plan Year only and subject to paragraph (d) below, an
Eligible Employee is any Employee who is employed by the Company but not by
a joint venture in which the Company is a joint venturer and whose

Employee.

(c) For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2002 and subject to
paragraph (d) below, an Eligible Employee is any Employee who is employed
by the Company but not by a joint venture in which the Company is a joint
venturer; provided, however, a Leased Employee or an Employee of the
Company who is neither a United States citizen nor a United States resident
shall not be an Eligible Employee.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) above, (i) an
Employee with respect to whom retirement benefits have been the subject of

beginning prior to January 1, 1996.

2.18 Eligible Retirement Plan. "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall mean (i) an

plan from this Plan. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply
in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a
spouse or former spouse who is an Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order (as defined in Article XIII).

2.19 Eligible Rollover Distribution. "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall
mean any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the
Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution shall not include:

periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or
life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's designated
beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more;

(b) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under
Code Section 401(a)(9);

(c) the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross
income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized
appreciation with respect to employer securities); and

(d) any other distribution that is reasonably expected to total less
than $200 during the year.

For purposes of this Section, 'Distributee' shall mean any Employee or

(c) If a Participant incurs a Severance and is entitled to a monthly
pension under this Section, and his or her monthly pension begins after the
first day of the month coincident with or next following the Special
Retirement Eligibility Date, such Participant shall be entitled to the
monthly pension payments he or she would have received had his or her
pension began as of the first day of the month following the Special
Retirement Eligibility Date.

5.5 Consent to Pension Payments. If the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent of a
Participant's pension exceeds $5,000, the Participant and, if applicable, the
Participant's spouse must consent to the payment or commencement of the
Participant's pension prior to the Normal Retirement Date in accordance with the
following rules:

(a) The consent of the Participant shall be obtained in writing within
the 90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. No such consent
shall be effective with respect to a married Participant unless the
Participant's spouse consents thereto in writing. Spousal consent shall not
be required if a married Participant elects a joint and survivor option
providing for payment of at least 50% of his or her annuity to his or her
surviving spouse or the Sponsor determines there is no spouse or the spouse
cannot be located. Neither the consent of the Participant nor the
Participant's spouse shall be required to the extent the payment or
commencement of the Participant's pension is required to begin under
Section 5.8.

(b) Each Participant shall receive in written nontechnical language a
notice which shall include a general description of the material features,
and an explanation of the relative values of, the available optional forms
of benefit. Such notice shall be furnished to the Participant no less than
30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the Participant's Annuity
Starting Date; provided, however, the Participant's pension may be paid or
commence less than 30 days after such notice is furnished if the notice
clearly informs the Participant that he or she has at least 30 days after
receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect
the commencement of his or her pension (and, if applicable, an optional
form of benefit), and the Participant, after receiving the notice,
affirmatively elects to commence his or her pension.

5.6 Maximum Pension. The largest aggregate annual pension that may be paid
to any Participant in any Plan Year under the Plan shall be determined as
follows:

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) through (d), the largest aggregate
annual pension that may be paid to any Participant in any Plan Year, when
added to the pension under any other qualified defined benefit plan
maintained by the Sponsor or any Affiliated Company, shall not exceed the
lesser of:

(i) The Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation of $160,000 ($90,000
for Plan Years prior to the 2002 Limitation Year), multiplied by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of the Participant's
years of participation (or a part thereof) in the Plan or, up to the
Spin-Off Date in the SKB Plan or in the Beckman Instruments, Inc.
Pension Plan, not in excess of ten, and the denominator of which is
ten; or

(ii) The Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation of 100% of the
Participant's average annual total cash remuneration from the Company
in the thirty-six consecutive months which yield the highest average,
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of the
Participant's Vesting Years (or a part thereof) not in excess of ten
and the denominator of which is ten.

Benefit increases resulting from the increase in the Defined Benefit
Dollar Limitation and the Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation under the
Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 shall apply to
all Employees participating in the Plan who have one (1) Hour of Service on
or after January 1, 2002.

(b) The limitations set forth in this Section 5.6 shall be determined
as provided below:

(i) The Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation shall automatically be
adjusted annually for increases in the cost of living as provided in
Code Section 415(d). The adjusted limitation shall be effective as of
January 1st of each calendar year and shall be applicable to
Limitation Years ending with or within that calendar year. Such new
limitation is incorporated herein by this reference and shall be
substituted for the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation set forth in
paragraph (a) above.

(ii) "Cash remuneration" shall mean "compensation" as defined in
Section 5.12.

(iii) For purposes of this Section, a Participant's pension shall
be measured as a Single Life Annuity or Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity. A pension benefit shall be treated as a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity if it meets all of the requirements as defined in
Section 2.35 except that the periodic payments to the spouse may be
equal to or greater than 50%, but not more than 100%, of those to the
Participant.

(iv) A benefit payable in a form other than a Single Life Annuity
or Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity described in subparagraph
(iii) above shall be adjusted to the Actuarial Equivalent of a
Straight Life Annuity before applying the limitations of this Section.
Effective for Limitation Years commencing on or after January 1, 1995,
Actuarial Equivalent for the form of benefit shall be determined using
(1) the interest rate and mortality table specified in Appendix A or
(2) 5% interest (or for lump sums or other benefits subject to Code
Section 417(e)(3), the applicable interest rate under Code Section
415(b)(2)(E)(ii) as determined as provided in Appendix A) and the
applicable mortality table under Code Section 415(b)(2)(E)(v),
whichever produces the greater Actuarial Equivalent value.

(v) In addition to other limitations set forth in the Plan and
notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the accrued benefit,
including the right to any optional benefits provided in the Plan (and
all other defined benefit plans required to be aggregated with this
Plan under the provisions of


22

<PAGE>

Code Section 415) shall not increase to an amount in excess of the
amount permitted under Code Section 415 at any time.

(c) For Limitation Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the
Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for any Participant shall be adjusted as
follows:

(i) If a Participant's pension begins prior to age 62, the
Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation applicable to the Participant at
such earlier age is an annual benefit payable in the form of a
straight life annuity beginning at the earlier age that is the
actuarial equivalent of the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation
applicable to the Participant at age 62 (as adjusted under paragraph
(a) above, if required). The Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation
applicable at an age prior to age 62 is determined as the lesser of
(1) the Actuarial Equivalent (at such age) of the Defined Benefit
Dollar Limitation computed using the factors specified in Section 5.3
or (2) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the Defined Benefit
Dollar Limitation computed using a 5 percent interest rate and the
applicable mortality table specified in Appendix A to the Plan. Any
decrease in the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation determined in
accordance with this paragraph (c) shall not reflect a mortality
decrement if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the
Participant. If any benefits are forfeited upon death, the full
mortality decrement is taken into account.

(ii) If a Participant's pension begins after age 65, the Defined
Benefit Dollar Limitation applicable to the Participant at such later
age is the annual benefit payable in the form of a straight life
annuity beginning at the later age that is actuarially equivalent to
the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at
age 65 (as adjusted under paragraph (a) above, if required). The
actuarial equivalent of the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation
applicable at an age after age 65 is determined as (1) the lesser of
the Actuarial Equivalent (at such age) of the Defined Benefit Dollar
Limitation computed using the interest rate and mortality table
specified in Appendix A to the Plan or (2) the actuarial equivalent
(at such age) of the Defin
