                     (iii) The consummation of a merger, consolidation or
              reorganization involving the Company, other than one which
              satisfies both of the following conditions:

                            (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization which
                     would result in the voting securities of the Company
                     outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
                     represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
                     converted into voting securities of another entity) at
                     least 55% of the combined voting power of the voting
                     securities of the Company or such other entity resulting
                     from the merger, consolidation or reorganization (the
                     "Surviving Corporation") outstanding immediately after such
                     merger, consolidation or reorganization and being held in
                     substantially the same proportion as the ownership in the
                     Company's voting securities immediately before such merger,
                     consolidation or reorganization, and

                            (B) a merger, consolidation or reorganization in
                     which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner,
                     directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
                     representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
                     the Company's then outstanding voting securities; or

                     (iv) The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
              complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale
              or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of
              the Company's assets.

       Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph (c), a Change
       in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Person described
       in the preceding provisions of this Paragraph (c) is (1) an underwriter
       or underwriting syndicate that has acquired any of the Company's then
       outstanding voting securities solely in connection with a public offering
       of the Company's securities, (2) the Company or any subsidiary of the
       Company or (3) an employee stock ownership plan or other employee benefit
       plan maintained by the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) that is
       qualified under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
       amended. In addition, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this
       Paragraph (c), a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred
       if the Person described in the preceding provisions of this Paragraph (c)
       becomes a Beneficial Owner of more than the permitted amount of
       outstanding securities as a result of the acquisition of voting
       securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of voting
       securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
       beneficially owned by such Person, provided, that if a Change in Control
       would occur

<PAGE>   3

       but for the operation of this sentence and such Person becomes the
       Beneficial Owner of any additional voting securities (other than through
       the exercise of options granted under any stock option plan of the
       Company or through a stock dividend or stock split), then a Change in
       Control shall occur."

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Allergan, Inc. hereby executes this First Amendment
on the 30th day of December, 1999.

                     (ii) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
              Board of Directors (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason
              to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors,
              provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the
              date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by

              of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election
              contest relating to the election of the directors of Allergan, as
              such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated
              under the Exchange Act) shall, for the purposes of this Plan, be
              considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent
              Board of Allergan;

                     (iii) The consummation of a merger, consolidation or
              reorganization involving Allergan, other than one which satisfies
              both of the following conditions:

                            (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization which
                     would result in the voting securities of Allergan
                     outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
                     represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being

                     securities of Allergan or such other entity resulting from
                     the merger, consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving
                     Corporation") outstanding immediately after such merger,
                     consolidation or reorganization and being held in
                     substantially the same proportion as the ownership in
                     Allergan's voting securities immediately before such
                     merger, consolidation or reorganization, and

                            (B) a merger, consolidation or reorganization in
                     which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner,
                     directly or indirectly, of securities of Allergan
                     representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
                     Allergan's then outstanding voting securities; or

                     (iv) The stockholders of Allergan approve a plan of
              complete liquidation of Allergan or an agreement for the sale or
              other disposition by Allergan of all or substantially all of
              Allergan's assets.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph (b), a Change in

Allergan or any subsidiary of Allergan or (3) an employee stock ownership plan
or other employee benefit plan maintained by the Company that is qualified under

preceding

<PAGE>   3

provisions of this Paragraph (b) becomes a Beneficial Owner of more than the
permitted amount of outstanding securities as a result of the acquisition of
voting securities by Allergan which, by reducing the number of voting securities
outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares beneficially owned by
such Person, provided, that if a Change in Control would occur but for the
operation of this sentence and such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any
additional voting securities (other than through the exercise of options granted
under any stock option plan of Allergan or through a stock dividend or stock
split), then a Change in Control shall occur."
