Recipient substantially in the manner it was conducted prior to the Distribution
Date.

TERM

"Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated under Article 7. The parties shall
be deemed to have extended this Agreement with respect to a specific Service if

expiration date respecting a specific Service by specifying such date on the
Transition Service Schedule for that Service. Services shall be provided up to
and including the date set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule,
subject to earlier termination as provided herein.
ARTICLE 5.
COMPENSATION
5.1 Charges for Services. The Service Recipient shall pay the Service
Provider the charges, if any, set forth on the Transition Service Schedules for
each of the Services listed therein as adjusted, from time to time, in
accordance with the processes and procedures established under Section 5.4 and
Section 5.5 hereof. Unless specifically indicated otherwise on a Transition
Service Schedule, such fees shall include the direct and indirect costs of
providing the Services and shall be calculated by using the same procedures used
by Allergan prior to the Distribution Date. If there is any inconsistency
between the Transition Service Schedule and this Section 5.1, the terms of the
Transition Service Schedule shall govern. In addition to any fees referenced in
this Transition Service Schedules, the Service Recipient shall pay to the
Service Provider any value added tax or other similar tax associated with the
services,
3
if applicable. The parties also intend for charges to be easy to administer and
justify and, therefore, they hereby acknowledge it may be counterproductive to
try to recover every cost, charge or expense, particularly those that are
insignificant or de minimus. The parties shall use good faith efforts to discuss
any situation in which the actual cost for a Service exceeds the charge, if any,
set forth on a Transition Service Schedule for a particular Service; provided,
however, that the incurrence of charges in excess of any such cost on such
Transition Service Schedule shall not justify stopping the provision of, or
payment for, Services under this Agreement.
5.2 Payment Terms. The Service Provider shall xxxx the Service
Recipient monthly for all charges pursuant to this Agreement. Such bills shall
be accompanied by reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation
supporting such charges. The Service Recipient shall pay the Service Provider
for all Services provided hereunder within forty-five (45) days after receipt of
an invoice therefor. Late payments shall bear interest at the lesser of the
Prime Rate plus 2% or the maximum rate allowed by law.
5.3 Performance Under Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, a Service Recipient shall not be charged under
this Agreement for any obligations that are specifically required to be
performed under the Contribution and Distribution Agreement or any other
Ancillary Agreement and any such other obligations shall be performed and
charged for (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of the Contribution and
Distribution Agreement or such other Ancillary Agreement.
5.4 Error Correction; True-Ups; Accounting. The parties shall agree to
develop mutually acceptable reasonable processes and procedures for conducting
internal audits and making adjustments to charges as a result of the movement of
employees and functions between parties, the discovery of errors or omissions in
charges, as well as a true-up of amounts owed. In no event shall such processes
and procedures extend beyond two (2) years after completion of a Service.
5.5 Pricing Adjustments. If in order to comply with any non-U.S. legal
requirement, some of the services provided outside the U.S. need to be performed
on a basis other than cost, adjustments shall be made between the parties to
make the pricing for such services consistent with the intention of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE 6.
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS; STANDARD OF CARE

and any other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Allergan shall maintain

metrics for Allergan for a specific Service may be set forth in the
corresponding Transition Service Schedule. Where none is set forth, Allergan
shall use reasonable efforts to provide Services in accordance with the
policies, procedures and practices in effect before the Distribution Date and
shall exercise the same care and skill as Allergan exercises in performing
similar services for itself. In addition, to the extent within the possession
and control of Allergan, Allergan shall provide AMO with information and
documentation sufficient for AMO to perform the Services it is obligated to
provide hereunder as
4
they were performed before the Distribution Date and shall make available, as
reasonably requested by AMO, sufficient resources and timely decisions,
approvals and acceptances in order that AMO may accomplish its obligations
hereunder in a timely manner.
6.2 Performance Metrics: AMO. Subject to Section 3.2, Section 3.4 and
any other terms and conditions of this Agreement, AMO shall maintain sufficient
resources to perform its obligations hereunder. Specific performance metrics for
AMO for a specific Service may be set forth in the corresponding Transition
Service Schedule. Where none is set forth, AMO shall use reasonable efforts to

practices in effect before the Distribution Date and shall exercise the same
care and skill as AMO exercises in performing similar services for itself. In
addition, to the extent within the possession and control of AMO, AMO shall
provide Allergan with information and documentation sufficient for Allergan to
perform the Services it is obligated to provide hereunder as they were performed
before the Distribution Date and shall make available, as reasonably requested
by Allergan, sufficient resources and timely decisions, approvals and
acceptances in order that Allergan may accomplish its obligations hereunder in a
timely manner.
6.3 Disclaimer of Warranties. NEITHER ALLERGAN NOR AMO MAKES ANY
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WITH
RESPECT TO THE SERVICES OR OTHER DELIVERABLES PROVIDED BY IT HEREUNDER.
6.4 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The parties acknowledge
the transitional nature of the Services and that a Service Provider may make
changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if the
Service Provider is making similar changes in performing similar services for
itself and if the Service Provider furnishes to the Service Recipient sixty (60)
days written notice regarding such changes.
6.5 Responsibility for Errors; Delays. Except in the case of a Service
Provider's gross negligence or willful misconduct, a Service Provider's sole
responsibility to a Service Recipient:
(a) for errors or omissions in Services, shall be to furnish
correct information, payment and/or adjustment in the Services, at no additional
cost or expense to the Service Recipient; provided, the Service Recipient must
promptly advise the Service Provider of any such error or omission of which it
becomes aware after having used reasonable efforts to detect any such errors or
omissions in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 6.1; and
(b) for failure to deliver any service because of
Impracticability, shall be to use reasonable efforts, subject to Section 3.3, to
make the Services available and/or to resume performing the Services as promptly
as reasonably practicable.
6.6 Good Faith Cooperation; Consents. The parties will use good faith
efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision
and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging information,
performing true-ups and adjustments, and
5
obtaining all third party consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary
to permit each party to perform its obligations hereunder (including by way of
example, not by way of limitation, rights to use third party software needed for
the performance of Services). The costs of obtaining such third party consents,
licenses, sublicenses or approvals shall be borne by the Service Recipient. The
parties will maintain in accordance with its standard document retention
procedures, documentation supporting the information relevant to cost
calculations contained in the Transition Service Schedules and cooperate with
each other in making such information available as needed in the event of a tax
audit, whether in the United States or any other country.
6.7 Alternatives. If a Service Provider reasonably believes it is
unable to provide any service because of a failure to obtain necessary consents,
licenses, sublicenses or approvals pursuant to Section 6.6 or because of
Impracticability, the parties shall cooperate to determine the best alternative
approach. Until such alternative approach is found or the problem otherwise
resolved to the satisfaction of the parties, the Service Provider shall use
reasonable efforts subject to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, to continue providing
the Service. To the extent an agreed upon alternative approach requires payment
above and beyond that which is included in the Service Provider's charge for the
service in question, the parties shall share equally in making any such payment
unless they otherwise agree in writing.

TERMINATION
7.1 Termination. Unless otherwise provided in a particular Service
schedule or unless the actual term of the Services is less than 60 days, a

breach; provided, however, that the non-terminating party may request that the
parties engage in a dispute resolution negotiation as specified in Article 14
