Section 10.9 of this Supply Agreement. GSK shall be responsible for ensuring

that the design of the packaging and labeling is compliant with applicable law

in the Territory. ALLERGAN's review and approval of the design of any packaging

or labeling shall not cause ALLERGAN to be liable or otherwise responsible for

the compliance of the design of the packaging and labeling with applicable laws,

provided that ALLERGAN shall not unreasonably withhold approval of any design or

proposal which is necessary (in GSK's opinion) for legal or regulatory

compliance purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.3(b)

shall limit or exclude ALLERGAN's liability attributable to the Manufacture of

the Product.

shall be made in accordance with the Change Control procedure set out in Section

2.5 below. For the avoidance of doubt the Change Control Procedure, set out at

Changes directed or recommended by the Regulatory Authority in the Territory as

the Territory.

(d) Where GSK determines that the proposed Product Change requires

notification or pre-approval from the Regulatory Authority in the Territory,

ALLERGAN will provide appropriate information to support GSK's submission to the

resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set out in Section

10.9 of this Supply Agreement.

relating to interruption to supply.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT

3.1 Purchase Price.

3.1.1 Supply Price. For each Unit of Product supplied to GSK

hereunder, GSK shall pay ALLERGAN a price per Unit of Product equal to

ALLERGAN's Standard Cost per Unit in the Calendar Year in which the delivery

date specified by GSK occurs, as such Standard Cost is determined in accordance

with this Supply Agreement, plus *** (the "PRICE"). The Standard Cost as of the

Effective Date is *** per Unit, and the Price to be paid by GSK per Unit as of

the Effective Date is therefore ***. ALLERGAN may, though it shall not be

obliged to, use the assistance and expertise of GSK to identify and target

potential areas of reduction to its Standard Cost.

3.1.2 Amendments to Supply Price. ALLERGAN shall recalculate the

Standard Cost once during the fourth quarter of each calendar year (either

upward or downwards as the case may be) (the "RECALCULATED STANDARD COST") to

become effective 1 January of the succeeding year. ALLERGAN shall provide GSK

with written notice detailing each Recalculated Standard Cost promptly after its

determination. Subject to the reconciliation process set out in Section 3.1.4

below, the Price paid by GSK from 1 January in each succeeding year during the

Term shall be the Recalculated Standard Cost for that year plus ***.

3.1.3 Maximum Increase. For the purposes of the reconciliation process

set out in Section 3.1.4 below, (A) the maximum allowable increase to the

Standard Cost for calendar years through the end of *** shall be *** and (B) the

*** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with 3

asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and

Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act

of 1934, as amended.

<PAGE>

for calendar years from and after *** shall be *** (the "ALLOWABLE STANDARD

COST"). When calculating the Allowable Standard Cost for each Calendar Year

after the first Calendar Year, the 'Standard Cost' referred to in this Section

3.1.3 shall be the lower of Recalculated Standard Cost or the Allowable Standard

Cost for the immediately preceding Calendar Year.

3.1.4 Reconciliation Process. In circumstances where the Recalculated

Standard Cost exceeds the Allowable Standard Cost, ALLERGAN will give a credit

to GSK to be used against the royalty payable under the License Agreement in an

amount equal to the difference between (A) the Recalculated Standard Cost plus

*** and (B) the Allowable Standard Costs plus ***, multiplied by the number of

Units purchased by GSK during the given year. A working example of this

reconciliation process is set forth in Exhibit G.

3.2 Invoices. ALLERGAN shall invoice GSK or GSK's nominated Affiliate for

all Product purchased by GSK upon shipment in accordance with the delivery terms

and the requirements of Section 4.4 and such invoices shall be paid by GSK

delivered (if any).

3.3 Taxes. All amounts in this Supply Agreement are stated exclusive of VAT

and Indirect Taxes. GSK is responsible for the payment of all such appropriately

levied taxes to ALLERGAN. ALLERGAN will provide to GSK within thirty (30) days

such amounts of VAT be refunded subsequently by the fiscal authorities to

ALLERGAN, ALLERGAN will refund these monies to GSK within thirty (30) days of

receipt.

3.4 Wire Transfers. All payments hereunder shall be made to ALLERGAN by

bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to ALLERGAN in accordance with

the wire instructions set forth in Exhibit E, which may be changed only by

written notice to GSK from the Chief Financial Officer of ALLERGAN under Section

10.7 (Notices).

3.5 Late Payments. Subject to the other terms of this Supply Agreement,

payments not made to ALLERGAN within the time period set forth in this Article 3

shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to *** per month. The payment of

such interest shall not limit ALLERGAN from exercising any other rights it may

have under this Supply Agreement as a consequence of the lateness of any

payment.

3.6 Financial Audit Rights. ALLERGAN shall permit its independent

registered public accounting firm, who as of the Effective Date is Ernst & Young

LLP, acting for GSK, to have access, no more than once in each calendar year

during the term of this Supply Agreement, during regular business hours and upon

at least thirty (30) days' written notice, to ALLERGAN's records and books only

to the extent necessary to determine the accuracy of the Standard Cost or

Recalculated Standard Cost (as the case may be). Any report provided by

ALLERGAN's

*** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with 3

asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and

Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act

of 1934, as amended.

<PAGE>

company appointed auditors to GSK shall, unless mutually agreed between the

parties, be limited to:

(i) a statement to verify that the Standard Cost is consistent or

equivalent with ALLERGAN's internal standard cost; and

(ii) in circumstances where the Standard Cost or Recalculated Standard

Cost charged by ALLERGAN has been determined by the auditor to

have been higher than ALLERGAN's internal standard cost ,

disclosure of the actual standard cost.

If such examination results in a determination that the Standard Cost or

Recalculated Standard Cost has been overstated, amounts overpaid by GSK shall be

refunded by ALLERGAN promptly. The fees and expenses of ALLERGAN's company

appointed auditors for conducting the services set out in this Section 3.6 shall

be paid by GSK unless the examination results in a determination that Standard

Cost or Recalculated Standard Cost have been overstated, or that amounts have

been overpaid by GSK, by more than *** for the period examined, in which case

ALLERGAN shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of such auditor.

4. FORECASTS, ORDERS AND SHIPMENT

stock for inventory purposes, shall be provided before or with the initial

Rolling Forecast. Prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, but at least

thirty (30) days prior to the earliest desired date of delivery, GSK shall place

binding Purchase Orders for Product for M1-M3 as specified in the Rolling

Forecast to begin delivery in M1 of that calendar quarter, and shall be

consistent with the forecast provided for such calendar quarter in that Rolling
