Dear Director:
Pursuant to the terms of the Allergan, Inc. 2003 Nonemployee Director Equity Incentive Plan

the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.
To accept this offer, you should complete and sign the enclosed copy of this Agreement, and

to grant to you 5,400 shares of its Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Stock”)

Agreement are from shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares, you are

by the Company, you agree to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any
subsidiary thereof for a period of at least one (1) year from the Grant Date. Nothing in
the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon you any right to continue as a member of the
Board of Directors of the Company or
Page 2
any subsidiary thereof or shall interfere with or
restrict the right of the Company or its stockholders (or of a subsidiary or its stockholders, as the case may
be) to terminate your service as a director any time for any reason whatsoever, with or
without cause.
3. Restrictions on the Stock. All shares of Stock received by you pursuant to this
Agreement (including any shares received with respect to shares of Stock as a result of stock
dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall be subject to the following
restrictions which are also set forth in the Plan:
(a) The shares of Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated
or otherwise disposed of or encumbered until the restrictions set forth in Section 3(b)
lapse and are removed and the shares have vested as provided in Section 3(d), and any
additional requirements or restrictions contained in this Agreement or in the Plan have been
satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by the Company in writing.
(b) If your service as a director of the Company is terminated for any reason other
than your death or total disability, you shall forfeit to the Company all of the shares of
Stock which are, at the date of such termination of service, still subject to the vesting
restrictions set forth in the Plan and Section 3(d), and the Company shall pay to you the
amount per share, if any, paid by you for such Stock.
(c) If your service as a director of the Company is terminated because of death or
total disability, all restrictions imposed upon the Stock shall lapse and be removed (and
the Stock shall become fully vested) as to all shares of the Stock upon such termination of
service.
(d) The restrictions imposed under Section 3(b) shall lapse and be removed (and the
Stock shall vest) in accordance with the following rules:

1,800 of the shares of the Stock.

Section 3(b) upon the Stock shall lapse and be removed (and the Stock shall become
fully vested) as to all shares of the Stock as of the date of such Change in
Control.

legends to be placed on the certificates which make appropriate reference to the restrictions
imposed under the Plan. As used herein, the term “total disability” shall mean the inability, by
