(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, cost of living allowances earned within the United States of America and paid to an Employee on or after March 1, 2014, shall be included in Earnings to the extent required to prevent a significant reduction in such Employee’s rate of future benefit accruals within the meaning of ERISA Section 204(h).
2.    Section 2.7 shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:

2.7    Average Earnings “Average Earnings” shall mean, for each Participant, 12 times the monthly average of his or her Earnings for the 60 consecutive months that yield the highest average. For purposes of this Section, (i) nonconsecutive months interrupted only by months in which a Participant has no Earnings shall be treated as consecutive and (ii) unless the Sponsor expressly determines otherwise, and except as is expressly provided otherwise in the Plan or in resolutions of the Board of Directors, amounts paid to a Participant by a domestic Affiliated Company prior to the effective date on which it became an Affiliated Company (that would have been Earnings if paid by the Company) before he or she became





a Participant shall be treated as Earnings but only to the extent such Earnings when added to the Earnings actually paid by the Company do not result in more than 60 consecutive months of Earnings. If a Participant does not have Earnings for 60 consecutive months, his or her Average Earnings shall be 12 times the monthly average of his or her Earnings. For periods beginning on or after April 1, 2000, a partial month of employment shall be taken into account only if doing so yields a higher monthly average. Effective for computing Average Earnings on and after March 1, 2014, the 60 consecutive months that yield the highest average shall be determined after applying the relevant limits under Code Section 401(a)(17). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall the preceding sentence result in a cutback of a Participant’s Plan benefit within the meaning of Code Section 411(d)(6) and the Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be determined in such a manner as to prevent such a cutback.
3.    The last sentence of Section 5.4 is deleted in its entirely and the following new subsection Section 14.12(e) substituted therefore:
(e)    If a Participant incurs a Severance and is entitled to a monthly pension under Section 5.4, and his or her monthly pension begins after the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Normal Retirement Date, such Participant shall be entitled to the monthly pension payments he or she would have received had his or her pension began as of the first day of the month following the Special Retirement Eligibility Date (or, if later, his or Severance Date) or, in lieu thereof, a monthly pension which is equal to his or her Accrued Benefit determined as of the Special Retirement Eligibility Date increased by an actuarial adjustment to take into account a delay in the payment of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit using the actuarial assumptions set forth in Appendix A for determining actuarial equivalence.







IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this First Amendment to the Allergan, Inc. Pension Plan (Restated January 1, 2013) to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date set forth below.
