involving a Change in Control;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide additional inducement for the Executive
to continue to remain in the employ of the Company; and

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2006, the Organization & Compensation Committee of the
Board (as defined below) authorized the Company to enter into this Agreement and
reaffirmed their approval on December 13, 2006;

specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Nothing herein will limit the
right of the Executive or his beneficiaries to contest the validity or propriety
of any such determination.

either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same
proportions relative to each other as their ownership, immediately prior to such
Business Combination, of the Voting Stock of the Company and (B) no Person
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the entity resulting
from such Business Combination.

(e)    "Employee Benefits" means any life, disability, group health and dental
benefit plans; provided, however, that Employee Benefits shall not include

Executive as of the date of such termination, at no additional expense to

successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation,
reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the
Company, including without limitation any persons acquiring directly or
indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company

transfer contrary to this Section 3(c), the Company shall have no liability to
pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated.

4.    Notices.    For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications,

residence, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other
in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.

5.    Validity.    If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any
provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable
or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of
such provision to any other person or circumstances will not be affected, and
the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal will be
reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it
enforceable, valid or legal.

right only to interpret and apply the provisions of this Agreement and may not
change its provisions. The arbitrator shall permit reasonable pre-hearing
discovery of facts, to the extent necessary to establish a claim or a defense to
a claim, subject to supervision by the arbitrator. The determination of the
arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and judgment upon
the same may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator
shall give written notice to the parties stating his or their determination and
shall furnish to each party a signed copy of such determination. The expense of
arbitration shall be borne equally by the Executive and the Company or as the
arbitrator shall otherwise equitably determine.

7.    Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
signed by the Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any
time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party will be deemed a
waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time. This

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements of the parties
with respect to such subject matter. No agreements or representations, oral or

AMENDMENT TO CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, The Cooper Companies, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, and
Albert G. White, III ("Executive") have entered into a Change in Control
Agreement dated January 3, 2007 (the "Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive now mutually desire to amend the Agreement.

THEREFORE, effective upon full execution of this Amendment to the Agreement (the
"Amendment"), the Agreement is amended as follows:

1.
By inserting the following new section as Section l(g) of the Agreement, and by
renumbering the following sections accordingly:

"(g) 'Separation from Service' means the termination of Executive's services to
the Company and all subsidiaries, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, in
accordance with Treas. Reg. §l.409A-1(h)."

2.
By adding the following at the end of Section 2 of the Agreement:

"For purposes of the payments contemplated under this Section 2 of the
Agreement, termination of the Executive's employment with the Company shall mean
the Executive's Separation from Service. The continuation of Employee Benefits
is not subject to liquidation or exchange for other benefits. The right to
installment payments shall be treated as the right to a series of separate
payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the ‘Code’)."

3.
By adding the following new section as Section 9 of the Agreement:

"9.    Section 409A Compliance.

(a)To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other
interpretive guidance issued thereunder. If the Company and Executive determine
that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement do not comply
with Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the
Company and Executive agree to amend this Agreement or take such other actions
as the Company and Executive deem necessary or appropriate to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code while preserving the economic agreement
of the parties.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive
is deemed at the time of his Separation from Service to be a 'specified
employee' for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent
delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is
entitled under Section 2 of this Agreement is required in order to avoid a
prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion
of the benefits payable to Executive under Section 2 shall not be paid prior to
the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date
of Executive's Separation from

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Service or (b) Executive's death. Upon the expiration of the applicable Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) deferral period, all payments deferred pursuant to this
Section 9 shall be paid in a lump sum and any remaining payments due under the
Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
amounts payable to Executive pursuant to Section 2 herein shall be made in
reliance upon Treas. Reg. Section l.409A- l(b)(9) (Separation Pay Plans) or
Treas. Reg. Section l.409A-1(b)(4) (Short-Tern Deferrals), as applicable, and
such amounts shall not be delayed pursuant to this Section 9(b)."

No other terms of the Agreement shall be modified by this Amendment and the
Agreement shall continue in all other respects in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms.

This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
