         Item 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

                  On July 9, 1997,  Inamed  Corporation (the "Company") issued a
news  release,  disclosing  that  it  has  reached  a  comprehensive  settlement
agreement  with  Appaloosa  Management  L.P. and its  affiliates  (collectively,
"Appaloosa").  As a result of this  settlement,  the Company has amended certain
provisions  of its 11% Secured  Convertible  Notes due 1999 (the  "Notes").  The
purpose  of this  restructuring  was to cure and  waive  all past  defaults  and
provide certainty as to the conversion price of the Notes, which the Company has
agreed to fix at $5.50 per share instead of 85% of market.

                  In accordance with the settlement,  the Company, Appaloosa and
Donald K. McGhan,  the Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer and  Chairman,  have
entered into a letter  agreement  providing  for certain  standstill  and voting
restrictions  relating to their respective holdings of the Company's  securities
for a three-month  period. In addition,  the Company has (i) issued an aggregate
of  1,846,071  warrants  with an exercise  price of $8.00 per share  (subject to
adjustment), and (ii) amended its Shareholder Rights Plan to permit Appaloosa to
convert its existing  Notes and  Warrants  without  being  deemed an  "Acquiring
Person" and thereby triggering the issuance of the Rights.

                  For  additional   information   concerning  the  comprehensive
settlement,  reference  is made  to the  news  release,  the  standstill  letter
agreement,  the Second Supplemental  Indenture,  Consent and Waivers relating to
the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Warrant Agreement, and Amendment No. 2 to
the Rights Agreement, which are each attached hereto as exhibits.

Mr. David A. Tepper
President
Appaloosa Management L.P.
51 John F. Kennedy Parkway
Short Hills, New Jersey  07078

Dear Mr. Tepper:

                  This letter agreement will confirm the understandings  between
Appaloosa  Management  L.P. and its  affiliates  and  associates  (collectively,
"Appaloosa"), Donald K. McGhan and his affiliates (collectively,  "McGhan"), and
INAMED  Corporation  (the "Company")  concerning  certain  standstill and voting
arrangements  relating to  securities of the Company.  This letter  agreement is
being  entered  into  concurrently  with  the  execution  and  delivery  of  (i)
documentation by the Company,  Appaloosa and other securitiesholders  pertaining
to certain  amendments to the indenture (the  "Indenture") for the Company's 11%
Secured Convertible Notes due 1999 (as amended,  the "Notes"),  and the issuance
of certain  warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock, and (ii) Amendment No. 2 to the Rights Agreement dated as of July 2, 1997
between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, as Rights Agent.

                  1.  STANDSTILL.  During  the Term (as  defined  in  Section  4
below), Appaloosa will not alone or in concert with others:

                      (i) by purchase,  conversion of a derivative security,  or
otherwise,  acquire, or agree to acquire,  ownership (including, but not limited
to, beneficial  ownership) of any shares of Common Stock of the Company,  or any
notes,  debentures or other  securities which may be convertible or exchangeable
into Common Stock of the Company, provided,  however, that Appaloosa may convert
any Notes and  Warrants  which it  currently  holds and may  exercise any of its
preemptive rights under Section 8.12 of the Indenture  governing any Notes which
it currently holds;

                      (ii) make any public  announcement with respect to (i) any
proceeding  under the bankruptcy laws (whether or not  consensual),  or (ii) the
acquisition of beneficial ownership of

<PAGE>

Common Stock, or (iii) any  extraordinary  transaction or merger  consolidation,
sale of substantial assets or business combination  involving the Company or any
of its affiliates;

                      (iii)   make,   or  in  any  way   participate   in,   any
"solicitation" of "proxies" (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A
under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act")),  or become a
"participant"  in any  "election  contest" (as such terms are defined or used in
Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange  Act) to vote, or seek to advise or influence any
person or entity  with  respect to the voting of, any voting  securities  of the
Company or any of its affiliates;

                      (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a "group" (as
such term is used in  Section  13d(3) of the  Exchange  Act) to take any  action
otherwise prohibited under this letter agreement;

                      (v) publicly initiate or propose any shareholder proposals
for  submission  to a vote of  shareholders,  whether by action at a shareholder
meeting  or by  written  consent,  with  respect  to the  Company  or any of its
affiliates or propose the removal of any member of the Board of Directors; or

                      (vi)  publicly  request  the  Company  (or its  directors,
officers,  employees  or agents) to amend or waive any  provision of this letter
agreement  or  otherwise  seek  any  modification  to or  waiver  of  any of the
agreements or obligations hereunder.

                  2.  VOTING.  During  the Term,  with  respect  to each  matter
submitted to the shareholders of the Company for a vote, whether at a meeting or
pursuant  to any consent of  shareholders,  Appaloosa  and McGhan  agree to vote
(whether by proxy or otherwise) all shares of Common Stock owned by each of them
in proportion  to the vote of all other  shareholders  of the  Company's  Common
Stock.

                  3.  ADDITIONAL  COVENANT  OF MCGHAN.  During the Term,  McGhan
shall not by  purchase,  conversion  of a  derivative  security,  or  otherwise,
acquire,  or  agree  to  acquire,  ownership  (including,  but not  limited  to,
beneficial  ownership)  of any  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company,  or any
notes,  debentures or other  securities which may be convertible or exchangeable
into Common Stock of the Company; provided, however, that McGhan may convert any
Notes,  Warrants or options  which he holds as of June 30,  1997.  In  addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing,  following the Company's public disclosure of the
hiring of a new Chief  Financial  Officer,  McGhan may  become  the  "Beneficial
Owner"  of up to,  but not  exceeding,  19.9% of the  outstanding  shares of the
Company's Common Stock.

                  4. THE TERM.  The term of this letter  agreement  (the "Term")
shall be from the date hereof until the earliest to occur of: (i)  September 30,
1997,  (ii) the  occurrence  and  continuance  of an Event of Default  under the
Indenture,  (iii) a determination  that defaults existed under the Indenture for
the year ended  December 31, 1996 and the quarter ended March 31, 1997, but were
not  disclosed  to  Appaloosa in  connection  herewith,  (iv) the failure of the
Company at any time to properly disclose material events in its filings with the

reasonable and good faith  determination  that the Company's maximum exposure in
the breast implant  litigation is materially  greater than the amount previously
disclosed to Appaloosa in connection with this letter agreement.

                  5.  MISCELLANEOUS.  This letter  agreement shall be subject to
New  York  law and  shall  be  enforceable  in any  federal  or  state  court in
Manhattan;  and all of the parties hereto consent to personal  jurisdiction.  In
the event of a breach,  the offended party can seek injunctive relief as well as

                  Holder  thereof  fails  to  receive  the  redemption
                  payment  therefor  under  the  Escrow  Agreement  or
                  unless  such Holder  elects to waive such  mandatory
                  redemption  on or prior to the close of  business on
                  the third  Business  Day  following  the  Redemption

                  principal  amount of the Security or portion thereof
                  surrendered  for conversion by the Conversion  Price
                  in effect at such time, by surrender of the Security

                       conversion  or  exchange  of  such  Convertible
                       Securities  and provided  further that upon the
                       expiration or  termination  of all such rights,

                       conversion  or  exchange  of  such  Convertible
                       Securities  (determined  by  dividing  (A)  the

                       sale of such Convertible  Securities,  then for
                       purposes of determining  the Conversion  Price,
                       the  Company  shall be  deemed  to have  issued
                       shares of Common  Stock at such price per share
                       as of the  date  of the  issue  or sale or such
                       Convertible  Securities,  and the adjustment of
                       the Conversion Price required by this paragraph
                       shall  be made as of the  date of the  issue or
                       sale of such Convertible Securities,  provided,
                       however,  that no  further  adjustment  of such
                       Conversion  Price shall be made upon the actual
                       conversion  or  exchange  of  such  convertible
                       securities  and provided  further that upon the
                       expiration   or   termination   of   all   such
                       Convertible  Securities without the issuance of
                       any  Common   Stock  in  respect  of  any  such
                       Convertible Securities or the conversion of any
                       Securities,   the  Conversion  Price  shall  be
                       increased to the price which would have been in
                       effect  at the time of such  issuance  had such
                       Convertible Securities never been issued.

                            (iii) In the  event  any  shares of Common
                       Stock or  Convertible  Securities or any rights
                       or  options  to  purchase  any  such  Stock  or

                       out-of-pocket   expenses   incurred   and   any
                       underwriting commissions or concessions paid or
                       allowed by the Company in connection therewith,
                       shall   be   deemed   to  be  the   amount   of
                       consideration received by the Company therefor.
                       The Board of  Directors  of the  Company  shall

                       Common Stock,  Convertible Securities or rights
                       or options for the purchase thereof.

                            (iv) In the event that (A) there  shall be
                       any decrease in the purchase price provided for
                       in  any  right  or  option  referred  to in the
                       preceding  subparagraph  (i) or the  additional
                       consideration,   if  any,   payable   upon  the

                       there  shall  be any  increase  in the  rate at

                       the preceding  subparagraph (i) or subparagraph
                       (ii) are convertible  into or exchangeable  for
                       shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                       effect at the time of such decrease or increase
                       shall  forthwith  be reduced to the  Conversion
                       Price  which  would have been in effect at such
                       time had such outstanding  rights or options or
                       Convertible   Securities   provided   for  such
                       decreased    purchase   price   or   additional
                       consideration or increased  conversion rate, as
                       the case may be, at the time initially granted,
                       issued   or  sold,   provided   that  upon  any
                       subsequent  upward  adjustment  of the purchase
                       price  or  consideration  or  decrease  in  the
                       conversion  rate,  as the case  may be,  in all
                       such rights,  options or Convertible Securities
                       the  Conversion  Price  shall be  appropriately
                       readjusted   in   accordance   with  the  other
                       provisions of this Section 10.5(k).

                            The  Warrants  shall be deemed not to have
                       been  distributed  for purposes of this Section
                       10.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price
                       under this Section 10.5 shall be required) with
                       respect to such  issuance  or the  issuance  of
                       Common Stock upon the exercise thereof.

      Section 2.8. Section 10.5 of the Indenture is hereby amended to adjust the
Conversion  Price by adding to the end of such Section the following new Section
10.5(m):

                       (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
                  this  Article  10  (including,  without  limitation,
                  Sections  10.1 and  10.4),  effective  as of July 2,
                  1997  the  Conversion   Price  of  each   respective
                  Security is adjusted to equal a price equal to $5.50
                  per share, as further  adjusted from time to time as
                  provided in this Section  10.5;  provided,  however,
                  that no Holder may convert  more than forty  percent
                  (40%) of the initial  aggregate  principal amount of
                  Securities held by such Holder or its predecessor in
                  interest   (after   giving  effect  to  the  partial
                  redemption of Securities pursuant to Section 9.2) in
                  any 60-day  period  and  provided  further  that the
                  foregoing  limitation shall not be applicable to the
                  extent  that  a  Holder  holds   Securities   in  an
                  aggregate  principal  amount less than $100,000 (the
                  "De Minimis  Amount") and the De Minimis  Amount did
                  not result from a previous conversion made when such
                  Holder held  Securities  in excess of the De Minimis
                  Amount.

      Section 2.9.  Section 10.7 of the Indenture is hereby  amended by deleting
such section and replacing it with the following:

      "INTENTIONALLY OMITTED."

      Section 2.10.  Section 11.15 of the Indenture is hereby amended to correct
the cross-reference therein by deleting in the second paragraph thereof the text
"Section 6.5" and replacing it with the text "Section 5.7".

      Section 2.11.  Section 13.13 of the Indenture is hereby amended to replace
the word "Nevada" with the words "New York."

                                       11

      Section 2.12.  (a) After the date of this Second  Supplemental  Indenture,
any Securities  authenticated  and delivered in substitution for, or in lieu of,
Securities  then  outstanding  and all Securities  presented or delivered to the
Trustee on and after such date for such purposes shall (unless textually revised
as hereinafter provided) be stamped with a notation substantially as follows:

      Security  has been  amended  by a First  Supplemental  Indenture
      dated as of June 20, 1996 and by a Second Supplemental Indenture
      dated as of July 2,  1997 to  provide  for the  modification  of
      certain covenants contained therein. Reference is hereby made to
      said Supplemental  Indentures,  copies of which are on file with
      Santa Barbara Bank & Trust,  as Trustee,  for a statement of the
      amendments therein made.

Such notation may be combined with any similar notations.

      (b) Any Securities  hereafter  authenticated and delivered in substitution
for,  or in lieu of,  Securities  now or  hereafter  outstanding  shall,  if the
Company so elects,  be textually  revised as approved by the Trustee to refer to
this Second Supplemental Indenture.

      (c) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall  not at any time be under  any  responsibility  to  require  or cause  any
Security now or hereafter outstanding to be presented or delivered to it for any
purpose provided for this Section 2.12.

      Section 2.13. The Company hereby  covenants and warrants that by reason of
the  Consents  and  Waivers  having  been  received  and the  amendments  to the
Indenture  being  made no  condition  or  event  exists  or  shall  exist  which
constitutes a Default (as defined in the Indenture).

      Section 2.14.  Section 13.18 of the Indenture is hereby  amended to delete
from the second  sentence  therein the words,  "LAS VEGAS,  NEVADA," and replace
them with the words, "NEW YORK, NEW YORK."

      Section  2.15.  The  Company  hereby  agrees  that it  shall  not make any
payments or enter into  transactions,  agreements or other arrangements with any
entity (including,  without limitation,  Medical Device Alliance, Inc. or McGhan
Management,  Inc.)  affiliated with or related to the Company's senior executive
officers or the Company's

transactions  are expressly  approved by Resolutions  of the Company's  Board of
Directors.

following the date of this Second Supplemental  Indenture, an opinion of counsel
satisfying  the  requirements  of Section  12.2(ii) of the  Indenture  (with the
exception  of the date of delivery of such  opinion  which  shall  satisfy  this
Section 2.16) and the Company shall record or submit such document to the United
States Patent and Trademark Office to reflect the assignment for security of the
Company's patents and trademarks and obtain an appropriate  notification on such
patent and trademark records reflecting such security interest.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

      Section 3.1. This Second  Supplemental  Indenture shall form a part of the
Indenture  for all  purposes,  and every  Holder  of a  Security  heretofore  or
hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

      Section  3.2.  For all  purposes  of this Second  Supplemental  Indenture,
except as otherwise  herein expressly  provided or unless the context  otherwise

Second Supplemental  Indenture refer to this Second Supplemental  Indenture as a
whole and not to any particular Section hereof.

      Section 3.3. This Second  Supplemental  Indenture  shall be deemed to be a
contract  made  under the laws of the State of New  York,  and for all  purposes
shall be construed in accordance  with,  and governed by, the laws of said State

      Section 3.5.  This Second  Supplemental  Indenture  may be executed in any
number  of  counterparts,   each  of  which  shall  be  an  original,  but  such

      Section 3.6. This Second Supplemental Indenture is executed by the Company
and the Trustee  pursuant to Article  Seven of the Indenture and shall be deemed
to be a part of the Indenture for all purposes,  including,  without limitation,

                            LETTER OF REPRESENTATION


         This letter of representation is made by Inamed Corporation,  a Florida
corporation  (the  "Company"),  in  favor  of the  Holders  of its  11%  Secured
Convertible  Notes due 1999 (the  "Secured  Notes").  Terms used but not defined
herein  shall have the  respective  meanings,  if any,  ascribed  thereto in the
Indenture  governing  the  Secured  Notes (as  amended  from  time to time,  the
"Indenture").  Inamed  represents  and  warrants to the Holders that on the date
hereof:

              1.1 ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORITY OF THE COMPANY.

                  (a) The  Company  is a  corporation  duly  organized,  validly
existing  and in good  standing  under the laws of the State of Florida and each
Guarantor is duly  organized,  validly  existing and in good standing  under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its  incorporation  and each of the Company and each
such Guarantor has all requisite  power and authority to own or hold under lease
the property it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it
transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this document and the
Secured Notes, the Indenture,  the Warrants, the Warrant Agreement governing the
terms thereof,  the Collateral  Documentation,  the Guarantee Agreements and all
other documents and agreements contemplated thereby (this document, and all such
other documents and agreements,  collectively,  the "Transaction Documents") and
to  perform  the  provisions   thereof  and  to  consummate   the   transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.  Each of the Company and each Guarantor is duly
qualified as a foreign  corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which the character of the properties  owned or held under lease by it or the
nature of the business  transacted  by it requires  such  qualification,  except
where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on
the business, prospects,  properties,  assets, operations or financial condition
of the Company.

                  (b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents,  and the  consummation of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby and
thereby, have been duly authorized and approved by the Company and, with respect
to each such agreement to which it is a party,  each Guarantor.  The Transaction
Documents  to which it is a party have each been duly  authorized,  executed and
delivered by, and each is the valid and binding  obligation  of, the Company and
each Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and such Guarantor in accordance
with  its  terms,   except  as  may  be  limited   by   applicable   bankruptcy,
reorganization,  insolvency,  moratorium  or other  similar  laws or by legal or
equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally.

              1.2  BUSINESS,  PROPERTIES  AND OTHER  INFORMATION  REGARDING  THE
COMPANY.

                  (a) The Company previously provided the Confidential  Offering
Memorandum  dated January 10, 1996 that when read in  conjunction  with the Note
Purchase  Agreement  dated as of January 23, 1996 and the schedules and exhibits
thereto,  and the public  filings  thereafter,  including the  Company's  Annual
Reports  (or drafts  thereof)  on Form 10-K,  as  amended,  for the years  ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company's  Quarterly Reports (or drafts thereof)
on Form 10-Q, as amended, for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and

<PAGE>
September 30, 1996,  and March 31, 1997,  and the Company's  Current  Reports on
Form 8-K filed February 6, 1996,  April 19, 1996,  May 31, 1996,  April 1, 1997,
June 10,  1997,  June 12, 1997 and June 26,  1997 (as  amended or  supplemented,
collectively, the "Disclosure Documents"), describes, among other things, in all
material respects the business,  prospects,  properties,  assets, operations and
financial condition of the Company.

                  (b) As of  their  respective  dates,  neither  the  Disclosure
Documents  nor any  certificate  executed  by the  Company or any  Guarantor  in
connection with the transactions contemplated thereby,  contained and, as of the
date hereof, no Disclosure  Document contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state any  material  fact  necessary  to make the  statements
therein,  in  light  of the  circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not
misleading.  Since  January 23,  1996,  except as  disclosed  in the  Disclosure
Documents, there has been no material adverse change in the business, prospects,
properties,  assets,  operations  or  financial  condition of the Company or any
Guarantor not described in the Disclosure Documents. Neither the Company nor any
Guarantor has actual knowledge, except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents,
of any fact that materially  adversely  affects or, so far as the Company or any
Guarantor can now  reasonably  foresee,  will  materially  adversely  affect the
business,  prospects,  properties,  assets, operations or financial condition of
the Company or the  Guarantors,  or the ability of the Company or the Guarantors
to perform its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents.

              1.3 CAPITAL STOCK.

                  (a) On the date hereof,  the  authorized  capital stock of the
Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value (the "Common

outstanding.

                  (b) As of July 1, 1997,  the Company had reserved for issuance
an aggregate of approximately  564,500 shares of Common Stock issuable  pursuant
to: (i) outstanding vested and non-vested options,  warrants and similar rights;
and (ii) contingent  obligations to issue additional shares (other than pursuant
to conversion of the Secured Notes or the Company's 4% Convertible Debenture due
2000). The Company is not subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to
repurchase  or  otherwise  acquire or retire any of its  capital  stock or other
securities or obligation  evidencing the right of the holder thereof to purchase
any of its capital stock or other securities.

              1.4 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND OTHER  INSTRUMENTS.  The consummation
of  the  transactions   contemplated  by  the  Transaction   Documents  and  the
performance of the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents did not and
will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under,
or result in the  creation  of any Lien  (except  for  Liens  created  under the
Indenture  or the  Collateral  Documentation)  in respect of any property of the
Company or any Guarantor  under,  any other material  agreement or instrument to
which the  Company or any  Guarantor  is a party or by which the  Company or any
Guarantor,  or any of its respective properties is bound, (ii) conflict with any
provision of any of the  certificate  of  incorporation  or bylaws or comparable
organizational  documents of the Company or any  Guarantor  or conflict  with or

court,  arbitrator  or  governmental  entity  applicable  to the  Company or any
Guarantor or (iii)  violate any material  provision of any statute or other rule
or  regulation  of any  governmental  entity  applicable  to the  Company or any
Guarantor.

              1.5 GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS,  ETC. Except for the registration
of the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock  underlying  the Warrants and the
Secured Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no consent, approval
or  authorization   of,  or  registration,   filing  or  declaration  with,  any
governmental  entity or third party was required for the issuance of the Secured
Notes or the Warrants or the valid  execution  and delivery of the Secured Notes
and the Warrants or for the  performance by the Company or the Guarantors of the
Transaction Documents,  other than the filings,  registrations or qualifications
under the  securities  laws or "blue sky" laws of any State that may be required
to be made or obtained in connection with the offer, issuance,  sale or delivery
of the Secured Notes,  the Warrants,  the shares of Common Stock  underlying the
Warrants and the Secured Notes or any interest therein,  including the Company's
registration  of the common stock issuable upon  conversion of the Secured Notes
or upon exercise of the Warrants.

              1.6 LITIGATION; OBSERVANCE OF STATUTES, REGULATIONS AND ORDERS.

                  (a)  Except  as  disclosed  or  referred  to in the  Company's
Disclosure  Documents,  or other reports filed with the  Securities and Exchange
Commission,  or with  respect to which  resolution  has been or will be effected
with the proceeds of the Secured Note  offering (the  "Offering"),  there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any
Guarantor and other than with respect to the Company's 4% Convertible Debentures
due 2000,  threatened  against or involving  the Company or any Guarantor or any
property of the Company or any  Guarantor in any court or before any  arbitrator
of any kind or before or by any  governmental  entity except  actions,  suits or
proceedings  arising in the ordinary course of business that  individually or in
the aggregate,  if adversely  determined,  would not materially adversely affect
the business, operations,  prospects,  properties, assets or financial condition
of the Company or any  Guarantor or the ability of the Company or any  Guarantor
to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

                  (b) Neither the Company nor any  Guarantor is in default under
or in breach of any order of any court,  arbitrator or governmental  entity, and
neither the Company nor any  Guarantor  is subject to or a party to any order of
any court or governmental  entity arising out of any action,  suit or proceeding
under any statute or other law  respecting  antitrust,  monopoly,  restraint  of
trade,  unfair  competition  or similar  matters.  Neither  the  Company nor any
Guarantor is in violation of any law or statute,  or other rule or regulation of
any  governmental  entity,  including  without  limitation  laws relating to the
production,  use,  storage or disposal of hazardous  materials  (the  "Hazardous
Materials Laws"),  the violation of which would materially  adversely affect the
business,  operations,  prospects,  properties, assets or financial condition of
the Company or any  Guarantor or the ability of the Company or any  Guarantor to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, provided, however, that
the Company is delinquent in payment of its federal  payroll  taxes.

for the  allocation  of  payments by taxing  authorities  to unpaid  taxes,  the
Company and each  Guarantor  has filed all tax returns that are required to have

Company or any  Guarantor  to the extent the same have  become due and  payable,

with  respect  to  which  the  Company  has  set  aside  on its  books  reserves
(segregated  to the  extent  required  by GAAP)  deemed by it in its  reasonable
discretion to be adequate. Except as provided above, neither the Company nor any
Guarantor has actual knowledge of any proposed  material tax assessment  against
the Company or any Guarantor  (although the Company is currently  undergoing tax
audits  by  the  State  of  California,   the  outcome  if  which  is  currently
undetermined),  and in the  opinion of the Company  all tax  liabilities  of the
Company  and the  Guarantors  are  adequately  provided  for on the books of the

Liens.

              The  Company  and  each  Guarantor  enjoys  full  and  undisturbed
possession  under all leases necessary in any material respect for the operation
of its respective  businesses  (the  "Leases").  None of the Leases contains any
provisions that,  individually or in the aggregate,  would materially impair the
operation of the  businesses  of the Company or the  Guarantors.  The Leases are
valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect, and there are no existing
material  defaults by the Company or events that with notice or lapse of time or
both would constitute material defaults by the Company under any of the Leases.

              1.9  LICENSES,  PERMITS,  ETC.  The  Company  and  each  Guarantor
possesses all material licenses, permits, franchises,  authorizations,  patents,
copyrights,  trademarks  and trade names and any other  tangible  or  intangible
intellectual  property  rights,  or rights  thereto,  required  to  conduct  its
respective business  substantially as now conducted and as currently proposed to

consolidated  basis as of the date thereof,  including  the aggregate  principal
amount  outstanding.  Except with respect to any defaults under the Indenture as
described in the consent letters dated July 2, 1997, neither the Company nor any
Guarantor is in default in the  performance  or  observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions  contained in any material  instrument  evidencing  such
Indebtedness  or pursuant to which such  Indebtedness  was issued or secured and
has not requested any waiver in respect of any default and no event has occurred
and is  continuing  which,  with  notice  or the  lapse of time or  both,  would
constitute such a default.

              1.12 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor

Act of 1940, as amended.

              1.13 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

best knowledge, any previous owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or user of any real

Company's best knowledge, existed on, under, in or about any Property previously

owned or leased by the Company or any Guarantor  that could subject the Company,
any  Guarantor  or such  Property to any  material  restrictions  on  occupancy,
transferability or use of any Property under any Hazardous Materials Laws.

              1.14 SECURITY DOCUMENTS.  The lien of the Collateral Documentation

personal  property  therein prior to any other security  interests  against such
property or interests therein other than Permitted Liens.

entity.  During such period,  the Company and each Guarantor has complied in all
material  respects with all applicable  laws relating to the employment of labor
including  without  limitation  those  relating to wages,  hours and  collective

              1.16 REPORTS.  Since December 31, 1993, except with respect to its
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1996 and its Quarterly  Report for
the period  ended March 31, 1997,  the Company has filed all forms,  reports and

all applicable  requirements  of the Securities Act and the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act") and the rules and  regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, as amended the "SEC Reports"). None of the
SEC Reports, including without limitation, any financial statements or schedules

time filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary in order to make the
statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under which they were made,
not misleading.

              The  balance   sheets  and  the  related   statements  of  income,

                               INAMED CORPORATION

                     11% Secured Convertible Notes Due 1999

                               CONSENT AND WAIVER

          This Consent and Waiver is delivered in connection  with the Indenture
(as amended,  modified,  and  supplemented  and in effect from time to time, the
"Indenture") dated as of January 2, 1996 between Inamed  Corporation,  a Florida
corporation  (the  "Company")  and Santa  Barbara Bank & Trust,  as trustee (the
"Trustee")  pursuant  to which the Company  issued its 11%  Secured  Convertible
Notes  due  1999  (the  "Securities")  in  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of
$35,000,000.  This  Consent and Waiver is delivered by Holders of record on July
2, 1997 (the  "Record  Date"),  the record date set by the  Company  pursuant to
Section  7.4 of the  Indenture  for  purposes  of this  Consent  and  Waiver and
supersedes  the  consents of the Holders  issued on or about  February 27, 1997.
Capitalized  terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings  ascribed
therein in the Indenture.

          For the year ended December 31, 1996 and the quarters  therein and for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company was in default in the  performance
or observance of the terms,  provisions and conditions of (i) Section 8.6 of the
Indenture  relating to the timely payment of taxes,  (ii) Section 8.16 requiring
that the  Operating  Profit of the Company for such period be in excess of $10.0
million and in excess of $2.5 million and $2.75  million for the quarters  ended
June 30 and  September  30, 1996,  (iii)  Section 8.18  requiring the Company to
deliver  within 120 days after the end of each  fiscal  year of the  Company and
within 30 days of the end of March 31, 1997 a certificate  regarding defaults in
the performance and observance  certain terms,  provisions and conditions of the
Indenture,  and (iv)  Section  12.2  requiring  the Company to deliver  opinions
regarding the Collateral.  The Company has also not filed with the United States
Patent and  Trademark  Office any  document  reflecting  the  assignment  of the
Company's  patents  and  trademarks  and the Company was made aware in 1996 of a
default  judgment  entered in 1995 which had not,  prior to its discovery by the
Company, been publicly disclosed or reported.

          The  Company  has  requested  that  the  Holders  waive  the  defaults
described  above in accordance  with Section 4.4 of the  Indenture,  any default
under  Section  2.18  of  the  Note  Purchase   Agreement  (the  "Note  Purchase
Agreement")  between the Company and the  purchasers of the  Securities  arising
prior to the date  hereof by reason of the  failure of the  Company to apply the
proceeds from the issuance of the  Securities  in accordance  with clauses (iii)
and  (iv) of such  Section  2.18 and any  defaults  under  any of the  Documents
arising therefrom or from failure to disclose or report the default judgment. In
connection with such request and in consideration of the granting of such waiver
by the  Holders,  simultaneously  herewith  (i) the  Company and the Trustee are
amending the Indenture dated as of the date hereof,  (ii) the Company is issuing
to the  Holders  Warrants to  purchase  Common  Stock as provided in the form of
Warrant  Agreement  dated as of the date  hereof,  and  (iii)  the  Holders  are

Indenture as contained in the form of Second Supplemental  Indenture dated as of
the date hereof.

          The  undersigned  Holder,  by its signature below and delivery of this
Consent and Waiver and pursuant to Section 4.4 of the  Indenture,  hereby waives

judgment  described  above,  and waives any Default or Event of Default (in each
case solely to the extent  expressly  described  in paragraph 2 above) under the

solely to the failure to disclose such default  judgment and shall not be deemed
to be a waiver  of any  default  which  may arise  under  Section  4.1(5) of the
Indenture by reason of the  existence of such  default  judgment).  Such waivers
shall  relate  solely  to  the  Company's   compliance   with  such   covenants,

the Company  delivered to the Holders  concurrently  herewith.  The  undersigned
hereby  represents  and warrants that it is not aware of any Default or Event of
Default in  existence  as of the date hereof or any events which with the giving

Default in  existence  as of the date hereof or any events which with the giving

with respect to the period after March 31, 1997.

          The  undersigned  Holder,  by its signature below and delivery of this
Consent and Waiver and pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Indenture, hereby consents

Waiver, hereby authorizes and instructs the Trustee,  pursuant to Section 7.6 of

signature  below and  delivery of this Consent and Waiver,  hereby  consents and
agrees to and  instructs  the  Trustee  and the  Escrow  Agent to  cooperate  in

                  WARRANT  AGREEMENT  dated as of July 2,  1997  between  Inamed
Corporation,  a Florida  corporation  (the  "Company"),  and U.S. Stock Transfer
Corporation, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").

                  WHEREAS,  the Company  proposes to issue Common Stock Purchase
Warrants,  as  hereinafter  described  (the  "Warrants"),  to  purchase up to an
aggregate  of  1,846,071  shares of Common  Stock,  par value $.01 (the  "Common
Stock"),  of the Company (the Common Stock  issuable on exercise of the Warrants
being referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares");

                  WHEREAS,  the  Company is a party to certain  litigation  (the
"Litigation")  pending  in the United  States  District  Court for the  Northern
District of Alabama,  Southern Division stylized as "Silicone Gel Breast Implant
Products Liability Litigation (MDL 926)";

                  WHEREAS,  the  Company  has in the  Litigation  applied for an
order certifying  Inamed  Corporation's  Mandatory (non "opt-out"  Limited Fund)
Class under Rule 23(b)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil  Procedure,  pursuant
to which the Company would be required to deposit approximately $10 million into
the limited fund thereby established; and

                  WHEREAS,  the  Company  desires  the  Warrant  Agent to act on
behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection
with the issuance of Warrant  Certificates  (as defined below) and other matters
as provided herein.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and the
mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1         APPOINTMENT OF WARRANT AGENT

                  The Company hereby  appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent
for the Company in accordance  with the  instructions  set forth  hereinafter in
this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

SECTION 2         WARRANT SERIES

                  The  Warrants  shall be  issued  in one  series,  and shall be
exercisable  by any holder of Warrants at a price of $8.00 per Warrant Share (as
it may be adjusted as described herein, the "Exercise Price"), with an aggregate
exercise price of $14,768,571.
<PAGE>
SECTION 3         WARRANT CERTIFICATES

                  The   certificates   evidencing  the  Warrants  (the  "Warrant
Certificates") to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in registered
form only and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto.

SECTION 4         EXECUTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

                  Warrant  Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company
by its  Chairman of the Board or its  President or a Vice  President  and by its
Secretary or an Assistant  Secretary under its corporate seal, if any. Each such
signature  upon  the  Warrant  Certificates  may be in the  form of a  facsimile
signature of the present or any future  Chairman of the Board,  President,  Vice
President,  Secretary or Assistant  Secretary  and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced  on the  Warrant  Certificates  and for that  purpose the Company may
adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who shall have been Chairman
of the Board,  President,  Vice  President,  Secretary or  Assistant  Secretary,
notwithstanding  the fact  that at the time the  Warrant  Certificates  shall be
countersigned  and  delivered or disposed of he or she shall have ceased to hold
such office.  The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile  thereof
and may be impressed,  affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates.

                  In case any  officer of the  Company who shall have signed any
of the Warrant  Certificates  shall cease to be such officer  before the Warrant
Certificates  so signed shall have been  countersigned  by the Warrant Agent, or
disposed  of by the  Company,  such  Warrant  Certificates  nevertheless  may be
countersigned  and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company,  and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the  execution of
such Warrant Certificate,  shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant  Certificate,  although  at the date of the  execution  of this  Warrant
Agreement any such person was not such officer.

                  Warrant    Certificates   shall   be   dated   the   date   of
countersignature by the Warrant Agent.

SECTION 5         REGISTRATION AND COUNTERSIGNATURE

                  The Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company,  shall number and
register  the  Warrant  Certificates  in a  register  as they are  issued by the
Company.

                  Warrant  Certificates  shall be manually  countersigned by the
Warrant  Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose  unless so  countersigned.
The Warrant Agent shall,  upon written  instructions  of the Company,  initially
countersign,  issue and

                                       2

<PAGE>

deliver  Warrants  entitling  the holders  thereof to purchase not more than the
number of Warrant Shares referred to above in the first recital hereof and shall
countersign and deliver Warrants as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

                  The  Company  and the  Warrant  Agent  may deem and  treat the
registered  holder(s)  of the  Warrant  Certificates  as the  absolute  owner(s)
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by anyone),  for all  purposes,  and  neither the Company nor the Warrant  Agent
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 6         REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES

                  The  Warrant  Agent  shall  from  time  to time  register  the
transfer  of  any  outstanding  Warrant  Certificates  upon  the  records  to be
maintained by it for that purpose,  upon surrender  thereof  accompanied  (if so
required  by it) by a written  instrument  or  instruments  of  transfer in form
satisfactory  to the Warrant Agent,  duly executed by the  registered  holder or
holders  thereof or by the duly appointed legal  representative  thereof or by a
duly  authorized  attorney and accompanied by such evidence as the Warrant Agent
shall  require that such transfer is in compliance  with  applicable  securities
laws. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be
issued to the  transferee(s)  and the surrendered  Warrant  Certificate shall be
canceled by the Warrant Agent. Canceled Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be
disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Company.

                  Warrant  Certificates  may be  exchanged  at the option of the
holder(s)  thereof,  when  surrendered  to the  Warrant  Agent at its office for
another  Warrant  Certificate  or other Warrant  Certificates  of like tenor and
representing  in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.  Warrant  Certificates
surrendered  for exchange shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent.  Such canceled
Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by such Warrant Agent in a manner
satisfactory to the Company.

                  The Warrant  Agent is hereby  authorized  to  countersign,  in
accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Section 6 and of  Section  5, the new
Warrant Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.

                                       3

SECTION 7         TERMS OF WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS; USE OF PROCEEDS

                  Subject to the terms of this  Agreement,  each Warrant  holder
shall have the right,  which may be  exercised  from and after  August 15,  1997
until  5:00 p.m.,  New York City time on March 31,  2000,  to  receive  from the
Company  the number of fully paid and  nonassessable  Warrant  Shares  which the
holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such  Warrants  and
payment of the Exercise  Price.  Each Warrant not exercised  prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York  City  time,  on March  31,  2000,  shall  become  void and all  rights
thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as
of such time. No  adjustments  as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the
Warrants.

                  To exercise a Warrant  the Warrant  holder must elect and sign
the exercise election on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and deliver
to the  Warrant  Agent  (a) the  Warrant  Certificate  or  Warrant  Certificates
evidencing  the Warrants to be exercised and (b) cash or a certified or official
bank check payable to the Company for the Exercise Price for such Warrants.  The
signature on the form of election  shall be guaranteed by an Eligible  Guarantor
Institution as defined under Rule 17Ad- 15 under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

                  Subject  to the  provisions  of  Section  8  hereof,  upon  an
exercise of a Warrant,  the Company  shall issue and cause to be delivered  with
all  reasonable  dispatch to or upon the written order of the holder and in such
name or names as the Warrant holder may designate, a certificate or certificates
for the  number  of full  Warrant  Shares  issuable  upon the  exercise  of such
Warrants; provided, however, that if any consolidation,  merger or lease or sale
of substantially all of its assets is proposed to be effected by the Company, or
a tender  offer or an exchange  offer for shares of Common  Stock of the Company
shall be made,  upon such exercise as aforesaid,  the Company shall,  as soon as
possible,  but in any event not later than two business days  thereafter,  issue
and cause to be delivered  the full number of Warrant  Shares  issuable upon the
exercise of such Warrants in the manner described in this sentence. Such Warrant
Certificate or Warrant  Certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any
person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder
of  record  of such  Warrant  Shares  as of the  date of the  surrender  of such
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price.

                  The  Warrants  shall be  exercisable  at the  election  of any
holder thereof, either in full or from time to time in part (but in no event for
less than one whole share of Common  Stock) and, in the event that a certificate
evidencing  Warrants  is  exercised  in respect of fewer than all of the Warrant
Shares  issuable on such exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration of
the Warrants,  a new Warrant  Certificate  evidencing  the remaining  Warrant or
Warrants  with respect to whole shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon  exercise
will be  issued,  and the  Warrant  Agent is hereby  irrevocably

                                       5
<PAGE>

authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this  Section 7 and of  Section 3
hereof, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the
Warrant Agent with Warrant  Certificates  duly executed on behalf of the Company
for such purpose.

                  All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants
shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall
then be  disposed  of by the  Warrant  Agent  in a  manner  satisfactory  to the
Company. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to
Warrants  exercised and  concurrently  pay to the Company all monies received by
the Warrant Agent for the purchase of the Warrant Shares through the exercise of
such Warrants.

                  The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this  Agreement and any
notices  given or received  hereunder  available  for  inspection by the holders
during normal business hours at its office. The Company shall supply the Warrant
Agent  from time to time with such  numbers of copies of this  Agreement  as the
Warrant Agent may request.

                  A  holder  of  Warrant  Shares  issued  upon the  exercise  of
Warrants,  in whole or in part  (other  than a holder who  acquires  such shares
after the same have been  publicly  sold  pursuant to a  Registration  Statement
under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  or sold pursuant to
Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such Warrant
Shares to all  rights  to which it would  have  been  entitled  as holder of the
Warrants  under  Section  12 and the other  provisions  of this  Agreement.  The
Company will, at the time of each exercise of any Warrants, in whole or in part,
upon the request of the holder of the Warrant  Shares  issued upon such exercise
hereof,  acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to such holder,
its  continuing  obligation to afford to such holder all such rights;  provided,
however,  that if such holder shall fail to make any such request,  such failure
shall not  affect the  continuing  obligation  of the  Company to afford to such
holder all such rights.

                  The  Company  shall  not  by  any  action  including,  without
limitation,  amending its articles of incorporation  or By-Laws,  or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities  or any other  voluntary  action,  avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all
times in good  faith  assist in the  carrying  out of all such  terms and in the
taking of all such  actions as may be necessary  or  appropriate  to protect the
rights  of a  holder  of  Warrants  against  impairment.  Without  limiting  the
generality of the foregoing but expressly  excluding any rights to anti-dilution
protection except as expressly set forth in Section 12, the Company will (a) not
increase  the par  value of any  shares  of  Common  Stock  receivable  upon the
exercise of the Warrants  above the amount  payable  therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may
be  necessary or  appropriate  in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and

                                       5
<PAGE>

nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants,  and (c)
use its best efforts to obtain all such  authorizations,  exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction  thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                  The  proceeds to the Company from the exercise of any Warrants
shall be  transferred  directly to and  deposited in an escrow fund (the "Escrow
Fund") to be maintained at a depository  institution  (the "Escrow  Agent") as a
trust fund maintained for the sole purpose of  extinguishing  the Litigation and
other breast implant  litigation,  on the terms and subject to the conditions of
this  Agreement.  Concurrently  with the  occurrence  of  either  of the  events
described in the second  paragraph of Section 13 or another event giving rise to
the extinguishment of one or more breast implant litigation actions, the Company
will deliver to the Escrow Agent:  (1) a certificate  (the  "Certificate")  duly
completed and executed by the Company stating that such event has occurred;  and
(2) a  conformed  or  certified  copy of the  order(s)  issued by or  settlement
agreements  reached in the appropriate  court(s) having  jurisdiction  over such
litigation. Upon receipt of the Certificate,  the Escrow Agent shall be entitled
to rely  conclusively  upon the  statements  and  instructions  set forth in the
Certificate  and shall  transfer the funds from the Escrow Fund as instructed in
the Certificate for purposes of  extinguishing  such  litigation.  If the Escrow
Agent shall not receive the Certificate before the close of business on December
31,  2004,  the Escrow  Agent shall  deliver the funds in the Escrow Fund to the
Company,  to be  held  by the  Company  and  used  solely  for  the  purpose  of
extinguishing breast implant litigation, including the Litigation.

SECTION 8         PAYMENT OF TAXES

                  The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes  attributable
to the  issuance of Warrant  Shares upon the  exercise  of  Warrants;  provided,
however,  that the  Company  shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which
may be payable in respect of any  transfer  involved in the issue of any Warrant
Certificates or any Warrant Certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than
that of the  registered  holder of a Warrant  Certificate  surrendered  upon the
exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
such Warrant  Certificates  unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance  thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

                                        6
<PAGE>
SECTION 9         MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES

                  In case any of the Warrant  Certificates  shall be  mutilated,
lost,  stolen or  destroyed,  the  Company may in its  discretion  issue and the
Warrant  Agent  may  countersign,  in  exchange  and  substitution  for and upon
cancellation  of  the  mutilated  Warrant   Certificate,   or  in  lieu  of  and
substitution  for the  Warrant  Certificate  lost,  stolen or  destroyed,  a new
Warrant  Certificate  of like tenor and  representing  an  equivalent  number of
Warrants,  but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the
Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and
indemnity,  if  requested,  also  satisfactory  to  them.  Applicants  for  such
substitute  Warrant  Certificates  shall also comply with such other  reasonable
regulations and pay such other reasonable  charges as the Company or the Warrant
Agent may prescribe.

SECTION 10        RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES

                  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free
from  preemptive  rights,  out of the aggregate of its  authorized  but unissued
Common Stock or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for
the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any  obligation  to issue  Warrant  Shares
upon  exercise of Warrants,  the maximum  number of shares of Common Stock which
may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

                  The  Company  or, if  appointed,  the  transfer  agent for the
Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and every subsequent  transfer agent for any
shares of the Company's  capital stock  issuable upon the exercise of any of the
rights of purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably  authorized and directed at all
times to reserve such number of authorized  shares as shall be required for such
purpose.  The  Company  will  keep a copy of this  Agreement  on file  with  the
Transfer  Agent and with every  subsequent  transfer agent for any shares of the
Company's  capital  stock  issuable  upon the exercise of the rights of purchase
represented by the Warrants.  The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized
to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates
required to honor outstanding  Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with
the terms of this  Agreement.  The Company will supply such Transfer  Agent with
duly executed certificates for such purposes.

                  The Company  covenants  that all Warrant  Shares  which may be
issued upon exercise of Warrants will, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable,
free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes,  liens,  charges and security
interests with respect to the issue thereof.

                                       7
<PAGE>
SECTION 11        OBTAINING STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS

                  The Company  will from time to time take all action  which may
be necessary so that the Warrant  Shares,  immediately  upon their issuance upon
the  exercise of  Warrants,  will be listed on, and freely  eligible  for resale
under, the principal  securities  exchanges and markets within the United States
of America on which other shares of Common Stock are then listed.

SECTION 12        ADJUSTMENT  OF  EXERCISE  PRICE;  REGISTRATION;  AND NUMBER OF
                  WARRANT SHARES ISSUABLE

                  (a) The  Exercise  Price  and the  number  of  Warrant  Shares
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment upon events
enumerated in this Section 12.

                  (b) The  Company  has  agreed to (i) use its best  efforts  to
register with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") on an appropriate
form under the Act, as soon as  practicable  after  issuance of the Warrants (or
cause  an  appropriate  post-effective  amendment  to be  made  to any  existing
registered registration statement on or prior to such date), and to use its best
efforts to cause to become  effective as soon as  practicable  thereafter,  such
registration  statement  with respect to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and
(ii) keep such  registration  statement  effective for a period of time required
for the disposition of such Warrants or Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding that the
Company  may have used its best  efforts,  if the  Company  fails to cause  such
registration statement to be filed on or before July 31, 1997, then the Exercise
Price shall be reduced by $.50 per share and if the Company  fails to cause such
registration  statement to be declared  effective on or before October 31, 1997,
then the Exercise Price shall be reduced by $.50 per share.

                  (c) In connection  with  registration  of the Warrants and the
Warrant  Shares  under the Act  pursuant to this  Section 12, the Company  shall
indemnify  and hold  harmless  each  holder of such  Warrants  and such  Warrant
Shares,  each such holder's  directors and officers,  and each other individual,
corporation,   partnership  or  other  entity  (collectively,  a  "Person")  who
participated  in the offering of such Warrants and Warrant Shares and each other
Person, if any, who controls such holder or such participating Person within the
meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several,  to which such holder or any such director or officer or  participating
Person or  controlling  Person  may  become  subject  under the Act or any other
statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged
untrue  statement of any material fact contained in any  registration  statement
under which such  securities  were  registered  under the Act,  any  preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto,  or (ii) any alleged 

                                       8
<PAGE>

omission  to state  therein a material  fact  required  to be stated  therein or
necessary to make the statements  therein not  misleading,  and shall  reimburse
such holder or such  director,  officer or  participating  Person or controlling
Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such holder or
such  director,  officer  or  participating  Person  or  controlling  Person  in
connection  with  investigating  or  defending  any such  loss,  claim,  damage,
liability or action; provided,  however, that the Company shall not be liable in
any such case to the  extent  that any such  loss,  claim,  damage or  liability
arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue  statement or alleged omission
made in such  registration  statement,  preliminary  prospectus,  prospectus  or
amendment  or  supplement  in  reliance  upon  and in  conformity  with  written
information furnished to the Company by such holder specifically for use therein
and provided  further  that the Company  shall not be liable in any such case to
the extent  that any such loss,  claim,  damage or  liability  arises from or is
based upon the failure by any holder of Warrants or Warrant  Shares to deliver a
required  prospectus or prospectus  supplement.  Such indemnity  shall remain in
full force and effect  regardless of any  investigation  made by or on behalf of
such holder or such  director,  officer or  participating  Person or controlling
Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder.

                  (d) Each holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares registered under
the Act in accordance  with the provision of this Section 12,  severally and not
jointly,  agrees to indemnify and hold  harmless the Company,  its directors and
officers and each other  Person,  if any,  who  controls the Company  within the
meaning of the Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,  joint or
several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or any such Person
may become subject under the Act or any other statute or at common law,  insofar
as such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon information in writing provided to the Company by
such  holder  of  Warrants  or  Warrant  Shares  specifically  for  use  in  any
registration  statement under which securities were registered under the Act for
resale by such holder, any preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or the failure of such holder to
deliver any required  prospectus or prospectus  supplement;  provided,  however,
that the  indemnification  obligations  of such  holder  shall be limited to the
gross proceeds from the offering of such Warrants or Warrant Shares, as the case
may be, received by such holder.

                  (e) If the  indemnification  provided  for in this  Section 12
from the indemnifying  party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in
respect of any losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  or expenses  referred to
therein,  then the indemnifying  party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party,  shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as a result of such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate  to reflect the relative fault of the  indemnifying
party and  indemnified  parties in connection with the actions which resulted in
such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  or expenses,  as well

                                       10
<PAGE>

as any other  relevant  equitable  considerations.  The  relative  fault of such
indemnifying party and indemnified  parties shall be determined by reference to,
among other  things,  whether any action in  question,  including  any untrue or
alleged untrue  statement of a material fact or omission or alleged  omission to
state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information  supplied by,
such  indemnifying  party or  indemnified  parties,  and the  parties'  relative
intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such  action.  The amount  paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
claims,  damages,  liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with any  investigation  or proceeding  provided,  however,  that the
contribution  obligation  of any holder  shall be limited to the gross  proceeds
from the  offering of the  Warrants or the Warrant  Shares,  as the case may be,
received by any such holder.

                  The  parties  hereto  agree  that it  would  not be  just  and
equitable if contribution  pursuant to this Section 12(e) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of  the  equitable  considerations  referred  to in  the  immediately  preceding
paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent  misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to  contribution  from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  (f) If the Company  shall  hereafter  pay a dividend or make a
distribution to all holders of the outstanding  Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock,  the  Exercise  Price in effect at the  opening of  business  on the date
following  the date fixed for the  determination  of  stockholders  entitled  to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such
Exercise  Price by a  fraction  of which the  numerator  shall be the  number of
shares of Common Stock  outstanding  at the close of business on the Record Date
(as defined in Section 12(j)) fixed for such  determination  and the denominator
shall be the sum of such  number  of  shares  and the  total  number  of  shares
constituting  such  dividend or other  distribution,  such  reduction  to become
effective  immediately  after the opening of business on the day  following  the
Record  Date.  If any  dividend or  distribution  of the type  described in this
Section  12(f) is declared  but not so paid or made,  the  Exercise  Price shall
again be  adjusted to the  Exercise  Price which would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.

                  (g) If the  Company  shall  issue  rights or  warrants  to all
holders of its  outstanding  shares of Common Stock  entitling them to subscribe
for or  purchase  shares  of Common  Stock at a price  per  share  less than the
Exercise Price on the Record Date fixed for the  determination  of  stockholders
entitled  to receive  such  rights or  warrants,  the  Exercise  Price  shall be
adjusted so that the same shall equal the price  determined by  multiplying  the
Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business prior

                                       10
<PAGE>

to such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator  shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock  outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date,
plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number
of shares so offered  would  purchase at such Exercise  Price,  and of which the
denominator  shall be the number of shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  on the
close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of additional  shares
of Common Stock so offered for  subscription or purchase.  Such adjustment shall
become effective  immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered
pursuant to such rights or warrants  and no Warrants  are  exercised  during the
period  such  rights  or  warrants  are  outstanding,  upon  the  expiration  or
termination of such rights or warrants the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to
the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the  adjustments  made upon
the  issuance of such  rights or warrants  been made on the basis of delivery of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  If such rights or
warrants  are not so issued and during such  adjustment  period no Warrants  are
exercised,  the Exercise  Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price
which  would  then be in  effect if such date  fixed  for the  determination  of
stockholders  entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In
determining  whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for
or purchase  shares of Common  Stock at less than such  Exercise  Price,  and in
determining the aggregate  offering price of such shares of Common Stock,  there
shall be taken  into  account  any  consideration  received  for such  rights or
warrants,  with the  value of such  consideration,  if other  than  cash,  to be
determined by the Board of Directors.

                  (h) If  the  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  shall  be
subdivided  into a greater number of shares of Common Stock,  the Exercise Price
in effect at the  opening of business  on the day  following  the day upon which
such  subdivision  becomes  effective  shall be  proportionately  reduced,  and,
conversely,  if the outstanding  shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller  number of shares of Common Stock,  the Exercise  Price in effect at the
opening of business  on the day  following  the day upon which such  combination
becomes  effective  shall  be  proportionately   increased,  such  reduction  or
increase,  as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening
of  business  on the day  following  the day  upon  which  such  subdivision  or
combination becomes effective.

                  (i) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute
to all holders of its Common Stock  shares of any class of capital  stock of the
Company  (other than any  dividends  or  distributions  to which  Section  12(f)
applies) or  evidences  of its  indebtedness,  cash or other  assets  (including
securities,  but  excluding  any rights or  warrants  of a type  referred  to in
Section 12(g) and  dividends  and  distributions  paid  exclusively  in cash and
excluding  any  capital  stock,  evidences  of  indebtedness,   cash  or  assets
distributed  upon a merger or  consolidation  to which  Section 7 applies)  (the

                                       11
<PAGE>
foregoing   hereinafter   in  this  Section   12(i)   called  the   "Distributed
Securities"),  then, in each such case,  the Exercise  Price shall be reduced so
that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect  immediately  prior to the close of business on the Record Date)
with respect to such  distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the Exercise Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the
Board of Directors,  whose  determination shall be conclusive and described in a
Board  Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Distributed  Securities so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be
such Exercise Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day  following  the Record Date;  provided,  however,
that in the event the then fair market value (as so  determined)  of the portion
of the Distributed  Securities so distributed  applicable to one share of Common
Stock is equal to or greater than the Exercise Price on the Record Date, in lieu
of the  foregoing  adjustment,  adequate  provision  shall be made so that  each
holder of Warrants  shall have the right to receive  upon  exercise of a Warrant
(or any portion thereof) the amount of Distributed  Securities such holder would
have  received  had such holder  exercised  such  Warrant  (or portion  thereof)
immediately  prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or  distribution is not
so paid or made,  the Exercise  Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise
Price which would then be in effect if such  dividend  or  distribution  had not
been declared.

                  Rights or warrants  distributed  by the Company to all holders
of Common  Stock  entitling  the holders  thereof to  subscribe  for or purchase
shares  of the  Company's  Capital  Stock  (either  initially  or under  certain
circumstances),  which rights or warrants,  until the  occurrence of a specified
event or events  ("Trigger  Event"):  (i) are deemed to be transferred with such
shares of Common Stock;  (ii) are not exercisable;  and (iii) are also issued in
respect of future  issuances of Common  Stock,  shall be deemed not to have been
distributed  for purposes of this Section 12 (and no  adjustment to the Exercise
Price  under this  Section 12 shall be  required)  until the  occurrence  of the
earliest  Trigger  Event,  whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to
have been distributed and an appropriate  adjustment to the Exercise Price under
this Section 12 shall be made.  If any such rights,  or warrants,  including any
such existing rights or warrants  distributed  prior to the date of this Warrant
Agreement,  are subject to  subsequent  events,  upon the  occurrence of each of
which such rights or warrants  shall become  exercisable  to purchase  different
securities,  evidences of indebtedness  or other assets,  then the occurrence of
each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with
respect  to new rights or  warrants  (and a  termination  or  expiration  of the
existing  rights  or  warrants  without  exercise  by the  holder  thereof).  In
addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or
warrants,  or any  Trigger  Event with  respect  thereto,  that was  counted for
purposes of  calculating  a  distribution  amount for which an adjustment to the
Exercise  Price  under  this  Section  12 was made,  (1) in the case of any such
rights or warrants  which shall all have been  redeemed or  repurchased  without
exercise by any holders  thereof,  the Exercise  Price shall be readjusted  upon
such final  redemption  or  repurchase  to give effect to such  distribution  or
Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution,  equal
to the per share  redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders
of Common  Stock with respect to such rights or warrants  (assuming  such holder
had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of
the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or
warrants  which shall have expired or been  terminated  without  exercise by any
holders

                                       12
<PAGE>

thereof,  the Exercise  Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants
had not been issued.

                  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Section 12 to the
contrary, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, other securities, cash or
other assets (including,  without limitation, any rights distributed pursuant to
any  stockholder  rights plan) shall be deemed not to have been  distributed for
purposes of this Section 12 if the Company  makes proper  provision so that each
holder of Warrants who exercises a Warrant or any portion thereof after the date
fixed for  determination of stockholders  entitled to receive such  distribution
shall be entitled to receive  upon such  exercise,  in addition to the shares of
Common  Stock  issuable  upon  such  exercise,  the  amount  and  kind  of  such
distributions  that such  holder  would  have been  entitled  to receive if such
holder  had,  immediately  prior  to such  determination  date,  exercised  such
Warrant.

                  For purposes of this Section 12(i) and Sections 12(f) and (g),
any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12(i) is applicable that also
includes  shares of Common  Stock,  or rights or  warrants to  subscribe  for or
purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12(g) applies (or both),  shall
be deemed  instead to be (1) a dividend  or  distribution  of the  evidences  of
indebtedness,  assets,  shares of capital  stock,  rights or warrants other than
such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 12(g) applies
(and any Exercise Price reduction required by this Section 12(i) with respect to
such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately  followed by (2) a
dividend  or  distribution  of such  shares  of Common  Stock or such  rights or
warrants (and any further  Exercise Price  reduction  required by Sections 12(f)
and (g) with  respect  to such  dividend  or  distribution  shall then be made),
except  that (a) the  Record  Date of such  dividend  or  distribution  shall be
substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive  such  dividend  or other  distribution",  "Record  Date  fixed for such
determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 12(f) and as "the
date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights
or warrants",  "the Record Date fixed for the  determination of the stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or  warrants"  and "such Record Date" within the
meaning of Section  12(g) and (b) any shares of Common  Stock  included  in such
dividend  or  distribution  shall  not be  deemed  "outstanding  at the close of
business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section
12(f).

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  (j) For purposes of this Section 12, the following terms shall
have the meanings indicated:

                      (1) "fair  market  value"  shall mean the  amount  which a
          willing  buyer  would  pay  a  willing   seller  in  an  arm's  length
          transaction.

                      (2)  "Record  Date"  shall  mean,   with  respect  to  any
          dividend,  distribution  or other  transaction  or event in which  the
          holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities
          or other  property or in which the Common  Stock (or other  applicable
          security) is exchanged for or converted into any  combination of cash,
          securities  or other  property,  the date fixed for  determination  of
          stockholders  entitled  to  receive  such  cash,  securities  or other
          property  (whether  such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by
          statute, contract or otherwise).

                  (k) The  Company  may make  such  reductions  in the  Exercise
Price, in addition to those required by Sections 12(f),  (g), (h) or (i), as the
Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax
to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any
dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event
treated as such for income tax purposes.

                  To the extent  permitted by  applicable  law, the Company from
time to time may reduce the Exercise  Price by any amount for any period of time
if the  period is at least 20 days,  the  reduction  is  irrevocable  during the
period and the Board of Directors has made a  determination  that such reduction
would  be  in  the  Company's  best  interests,  which  determination  shall  be
conclusive and described in a Board  Resolution.  Whenever the Exercise Price is
reduced  pursuant  to the  preceding  sentence,  the  Company  shall mail to the
holders of Warrants at such holder's  last address  appearing on the register of
holders  maintained  for such purpose a notice of the reduction at least 15 days
prior to the date the reduced Exercise Price takes effect, and such notice shall
state the  reduced  Exercise  Price and the  period  during  which it will be in
effect.

                  (l) No adjustment in the Exercise Price under Sections  12(f),
12(g),  12(h) or 12(i) shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price;  provided,  however, that any
adjustments  which by reason of this  Section  12(l) are not required to be made
shall be carried  forward and taken into account in any  subsequent  adjustment.
All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made by the Company and shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case
may be.

                  (m) In any case in which  this  Section  12  provides  that an
adjustment shall become effective  immediately after a Record Date for an event,
the Company may

                                       14
<PAGE>

defer until the  occurrence  of such event  issuing to the holder of any Warrant
exercised  after such  Record Date and before the  occurrence  of such event the
additional  shares of Common Stock  issuable upon such exercise by reason of the
adjustment  required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment.

                  (n) For  purposes of this  Section 12, the number of shares of
Common  Stock at any time  outstanding  shall  not  include  shares  held in the
treasury of the Company but shall  include  shares  issuable in respect of scrip
certificates  issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company
shall not pay any  dividend or make any  distribution  on shares of Common Stock
held in the treasury of the Company.

SECTION 13        REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS

                  The Warrants are subject to  redemption at the election of the
Company prior to their expiration as provided in this Section 13.

                  From and  after (a) the  earlier  of (i) the  issuance  by the
United States District Court,  Northern  District of Alabama,  Southern Division
(or any successor court with jurisdiction over the Litigation), of a Final Order
(as defined in the Indenture  governing the Company's  Senior  Secured Notes due
1999)  certifying  the Company's  Mandatory  (non-"opt-out"  Limited Fund) Class
under Rule  23(b)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or (ii) the date
on which the order (the "Order") approving the Baxter, Bristol-Myers, 3M, McGhan
and Union  Carbide  Revised  Settlement  Program has become  "Final"  within the
meaning of the Order and ninety seven percent (97%) of the "Current  Claimants",
as defined in the Order,  as of the date of this  Agreement,  have settled under
the terms of the Revised  Settlement  Program and/or settled with the Company in
whatever way is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company to be in the
best interest of the Company, and (b) after the occurrence of the earlier of the
events  described  in the  preceding  clause (a),  the closing  volume  weighted
average trading price of the Common Stock,  as reported on the Bloomberg  Nasdaq
Market Reporting System (or any successor thereto), shall average $10.00 or more
per share for twenty (20)  consecutive  trading days or more,  the Company shall
have the right to redeem from the Warrant  holders the  Warrants at a redemption
price of $.01 per Warrant.

                  With  respect to any  redemption,  the  Company  shall mail by
first class mail, postage prepaid,  not later than 30 days prior to the date set
for redemption (the  "Redemption  Date"), a notice of redemption to each Warrant
holder  whose  Warrants  are to be  redeemed,  and shall  deliver a copy of such
notice to the Warrant Agent.

                                       15
<PAGE>

                  The notice  shall  identify  the  Warrants to be redeemed  and
shall state:  (1) the  Redemption  Date;  (2) the portion of the number of whole
Warrant  Shares  issuable upon exercise of such Warrant to be redeemed and that,
after the Redemption  Date,  upon surrender of such Warrant  Certificate,  a new
Warrant  Certificate  or  Certificates  evidencing  the  unredeemed  Warrant  or
Warrants will be issued;  (3) the name and address of any paying agent, if other
than the Warrant Agent; (4) that the Warrant  Certificates called for redemption
must be surrendered to the paying agent or the Warrant Agent, as applicable,  to
collect the redemption price; (5) that the right to exercise the Warrants called
for redemption ceases on and after the Redemption Date; (6) that such holder may
elect to  exercise  such  Warrant  at any time prior to the  Redemption  Date by
following the  procedures  set forth in Section 7 of this Warrant  Agreement for
exercise,  including  surrendering  such Warrant  Certificates  with duly signed
Elections  for Exercise and payment of the Exercise  Price,  prior to such date;
and (7) that payments upon presentation of Warrant Certificates shall be made as
soon as  practicable  after  presentation  to the Warrant  Agent or other paying
agent.

                  At the Company's written request, the Warrant Agent shall give
the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at its expense.

                  Upon  surrender of a Warrant  Certificate  that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall  authenticate  for the
holder at the expense of the Company a new Warrant  Certificate  evidencing  the
unredeemed  Warrant or  Warrants of the Warrant  Certificate  surrendered.  Each
redemption  under this  Section 13 shall be pro rata to all holders of Warrants,
by lot or by such other means as the Company shall determine.

SECTION 14        RIGHTS OF WARRANT HOLDERS

                  Nothing  contained in this  Agreement or in any of the Warrant
Certificates  shall be construed  prior to the date of surrender of the Warrants
in accordance with Section 7 as conferring upon the holders thereof the right to
vote or to  consent  or to  receive  notice as  shareholders  in  respect of the
meetings of  shareholders  or the  election of  Directors  of the Company or any
other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company.

SECTION 15        FRACTIONAL INTERESTS

                  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional  Warrant
Shares on the exercise of Warrants.  If more than one Warrant shall be presented
for  exercise  in full at the same time by the same  holder,  the number of full
Warrant  Shares  which  shall be issuable  upon the  exercise  thereof  shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate  number of Warrant Shares  purchasable on
exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would,
except for the provisions of this

                                       16
<PAGE>

Section 15, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants  (or  specified  portion
thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price on
the day  immediately  preceding  the date the Warrant is presented for exercise,
multiplied by such fraction.

SECTION 16        NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS

                  Upon any  adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section
12, the Company shall promptly thereafter (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant
Agent an  officers'  certificate  setting  forth the  Exercise  Price after such
adjustment and setting forth in reasonable  detail the method of calculation and
the facts upon which such calculations are based and setting forth the number of
Warrant  Shares (or  portion  thereof)  issuable  after such  adjustment  in the
Exercise Price,  upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of the adjusted Exercise
Price, which certificate shall be conclusive  evidence of the correctness of the
matters set forth therein,  and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered
holders of the  Warrant  Certificates  at its address  appearing  on the Warrant
register  written  notice  of such  adjustments  by  first-class  mail,  postage
prepaid.  Failure to deliver  such  notice  shall not  affect  the  legality  or
validity of any such adjustment.

SECTION 17        MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR CHANGE OF NAME OF WARRANT AGENT

                  Any corporation  into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or
with which it may be consolidated,  or any corporation resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding  to the business of the Warrant  Agent shall be the  successor to the
Warrant  Agent  hereunder  without the  execution  or filing of any paper or any
further  act on the  part  of any of the  parties  hereto,  provided  that  such
corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor warrant agent under
the  provisions of Section 19. In case at the time such successor to the Warrant
Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, and in case at that
time any of the  Warrant  Certificates  shall  have been  countersigned  but not
delivered,   any  such   successor   to  the   Warrant   Agent   may  adopt  the
countersignature  of the original Warrant Agent; and in case at that time any of
the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the
Warrant Agent may countersign  such Warrant  Certificates  either in the name of
the  predecessor  Warrant  Agent or in the name of the  successor to the Warrant
Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force
and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

                  In case at any  time the name of the  Warrant  Agent  shall be
changed  and at such  time  any of the  Warrant  Certificates  shall  have  been
countersigned  but not delivered,  the Warrant Agent whose name has been changed
may adopt the  countersignature  under its prior name,  and in case at that time
any of the Warrant

                                       17
<PAGE>

Certificates  shall  not  have  been   countersigned,   the  Warrant  Agent  may
countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed
name, and in all such cases such Warrant  Certificates shall have the full force
and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

SECTION 18        WARRANT AGENT

                  The  Warrant  Agent  undertakes  the  duties  and  obligations
imposed by this Agreement  upon the following  terms and  conditions,  by all of
which the Company  and the holders of  Warrants,  by their  acceptance  thereof,
shall be bound:

                  (a)  The  statements  contained  herein  and  in  the  Warrant
             Certificates  shall be taken as  statements  of the Company and the
             Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility  for the correctness of any
             of the same  except such as  describe  the Warrant  Agent or action
             taken  or  to  be  taken  by  it.  The  Warrant  Agent  assumes  no
             responsibility  with  respect to the  distribution  of the  Warrant
             Certificates except as herein otherwise provided.

                  (b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure
             of the Company to comply  with any of the  covenants  contained  in
             this Agreement or in the Warrant  Certificates  to be complied with
             by the Company.

                  (c) The  Warrant  Agent may  consult at any time with  counsel
             satisfactory  to it (who may be counsel  for the  Company)  and the
             Warrant  Agent shall incur no  liability or  responsibility  to the
             Company or to any holder of any Warrant  Certificate  in respect of
             any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
             and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.

                  (d)  The   Warrant   Agent  shall   incur  no   liability   or
             responsibility  to the  Company  or to any  holder  of any  Warrant
             Certificate  for  any  action  taken  in  reliance  on any  Warrant
             Certificate,  certificate  of shares,  notice,  resolution,  waiver
             consent order  certificate  or other paper,  document or instrument
             believed  by it to be  genuine  and to  have  been  signed  sent or
             presented by the proper party or parties.

                  (e) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent  reasonable
             compensation for all services  rendered by the Warrant Agent in the
             execution of this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all
             expenses,  taxes and governmental  charges and other charges of any
             kind and nature  incurred by the Warrant  Agent in the execution of
             this  Agreement  and to  indemnify  the  Warrant  Agent and save it
             harmless  against  any and all  liabilities,  including  judgments,
             costs and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant

             Agent in the execution of this Agreement  except as a result of its
             negligence or bad faith.

                   (f) The  Warrant  Agent  shall  be  under  no  obligation  to
         institute  any action,  suit or legal  proceeding  or to take any other
         action  likely to involve  expense  unless  the  Company or one or more
         registered  holders of Warrant  Certificates  shall furnish the Warrant
         Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses
         which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of
         the  Warrant  Agent to take  such  action  as it may  consider  proper,
         whether with or without any such security or  indemnity.  All rights of
         action  under  this  Agreement  or  under  any of the  Warrants  may be
         enforced by the Warrant  Agent  without  the  possession  of any of the
         Warrant  Certificates  or the production  thereof at any trial or other
         proceeding  relative thereto,  and any such action,  suit or proceeding
         instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant
         Agent and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable  benefit of
         the registered  holders of the Warrants,  as their respective rights or
         interests may appear.

                   (g) The Warrant Agent, and any stockholder, director, officer
         or  employee  of it, may buy,  sell or deal in any of the  Warrants  or
         other securities of the Company or become  pecuniary  interested in any
         transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or
         lend  money to the  Company  or  otherwise  act as fully and  freely as
         though it were not Warrant Agent under this  Agreement.  Nothing herein
         shall  preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for
         the Company or for any other legal entity.

                  (h) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder  solely as agent for
             the  Company,  and its  duties  shall be  determined  solely by the
             provisions  hereof.  The  Warrant  Agent  shall not be  liable  for
             anything  which it may do or refrain from doing in connection  with
             this Agreement except for its own negligence or bad faith.

                  (i) The Warrant  Agent shall not at any time be under any duty
             or responsibility to any holder of any Warrant  Certificate to make
             or cause to be made any  adjustment of the Exercise  Price or other
             securities or property  deliverable as provided in this  Agreement,
             or to  determine  whether  any facts exist which may require any of
             such  adjustments,  or with  respect to the nature or extent of any
             such adjustments, when made, or with respect to the method employed
             in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with
             respect  to the  validity  or value or the  kind or  amount  of any
             Warrant  Shares or of any  securities or property  which may at any
             time be issued or  delivered  upon the  exercise  of any Warrant or
             with respect to whether any such

                                       20
<PAGE>

             Warrant  Shares or other  securities  will when  issued be  validly
             issued   and   fully   paid  and   nonassessable,   and   makes  no
             representation with respect thereto.

SECTION 19        CHANGE OF WARRANT AGENT

                  If the  Warrant  Agent  shall  become  incapable  of acting as
Warrant Agent,  the Company shall appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent.  If
the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after
it has been  notified in writing of such  incapacity  by the Warrant Agent or by
the registered  holder of a Warrant  Certificate,  then the registered holder of
any Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment  of a  successor  to the Warrant  Agent.  Pending  appointment  of a
successor to such Warrant Agent,  either by the Company or by such a court,  the
duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company.  The holders of
Warrants  exercisable  for in excess of 50% of the  aggregate  number of Warrant
Shares  then  purchasable  upon  exercise of all  Warrants,  whether or not then
exercisable  (the "Majority  Holders"),  shall be entitled at any time to remove
the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent.  Such successor
to the Warrant  Agent need not be approved by the Company or the former  Warrant
Agent. After appointment the successor to the Warrant Agent shall be vested with
the  same  powers,  rights,  duties  and  responsibilities  as  if it  had  been
originally  named as Warrant Agent without  further act or deed;  but the former
Warrant  Agent shall  deliver and transfer to the successor to the Warrant Agent
any  property  at the time held by it  hereunder  and  execute  and  deliver any
further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to
give any notice provided for in this Section 18, however, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the  appointment  of a successor to
the Warrant Agent.

SECTION 20        NOTICES TO COMPANY AND WARRANT AGENT

                  Any notice or demand  authorized by this Agreement to be given
or  made  by the  Warrant  Agent  or by the  registered  holder  of any  Warrant
Certificate to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made when and if
deposited in the mail,  first class or registered,  postage  prepaid,  addressed

Warrant Agent.

                  Any  notice  pursuant  to this  Agreement  to be  given by the
Company or by the registered holder(s) of any Warrant Certificate to the Warrant

SECTION 21        SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

                  The  Company  and the  Warrant  Agent  may  from  time to time
supplement  or amend this  Agreement  without  the  approval  of any  holders of
Warrant  Certificates in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement
any provision  contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent  with any
other provision  herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or
questions  arising  hereunder  which the Company and the Warrant  Agent may deem
necessary or  desirable  and which,  in each case  described in this Section 21,
shall  not  in  any  way  affect  the   interests  of  the  holders  of  Warrant
Certificates.  In all other  instances,  this  Agreement may only be modified or
amended or the provisions  hereof waived with the written consent of Company and
the  Majority  Holders;  provided  that this  Agreement  may not be  modified or
amended to reduce the  number of shares of Common  Stock for which the  Warrants
are  exercisable  or to increase the price at which such shares may be purchased
upon  exercise of such  Warrants  (before  giving  effect to any  adjustment  as
provided  therein)  without  the prior  written  consent  of each  holder of the
Warrants.

SECTION 22        SUCCESSORS

                  All the covenants and  provisions of this  Agreement by or for
the  benefit of the  Company or the  Warrant  Agent  shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

SECTION 23        TERMINATION

                  This  Agreement  shall  terminate at 5:00 p.m.,  New York City

terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been exercised.

and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance  with the internal laws of
said State.

SECTION 25        BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT

                  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall be  construed to give to any
person  or  corporation  other  than the  Company,  the  Warrant  Agent  and the
registered  holders of the Warrant  Certificates  any legal or equitable  right,
remedy or claim under this  Agreement;  but this Agreement shall be for the sole
and  exclusive  benefit of the  Company,  the Warrant  Agent and the  registered
holders of the Warrant Certificates.

SECTION 26        COUNTERPARTS

                  This  Agreement may be executed in any number of  counterparts
and  each  of such  counterparts  shall  for all  purposes  be  deemed  to be an
original,  and all such counterparts  shall together  constitute but one and the
same instrument.

SECTION 27        REMEDIES

                  Each holder of Warrants  and  Warrant  Shares,  in addition to
being  entitled to exercise  all rights  granted by law,  including  recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under Section 12
of this  Agreement.  The  Company  agrees  that  monetary  damages  would not be
adequate  compensation  for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the
provisions  of  Section  12 of this  Agreement  and  hereby  agrees to waive the
defense  in any action for  specific  performance  that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

                  The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of
a duly  authorized  issue of Warrants  expiring  March 31, 2000,  entitling  the
holder on exercise to receive  shares of Common  Stock,  par value $.01,  of the
Company  (the  "Common  Stock"),  and are issued or to be issued  pursuant  to a
Warrant  Agreement  dated as of July 2, 1997  (the  "Warrant  Agreement"),  duly
executed and delivered by the Company to U.S.  Stock  Transfer  Corporation,  as
warrant  agent  (the  "Warrant  Agent"),   which  Warrant  Agreement  is  hereby
incorporated  by reference in and made a part of this  instrument  and is hereby
referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights,  obligations,
duties and  immunities  thereunder  of the  Warrant  Agent,  the Company and the
holders  (the words  "holders"  or "holder"  meaning the  registered  holders or
registered  holder) of the  Warrants.  A copy of the  Warrant  Agreement  may be
obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company.

                  Warrants  may be  exercised  at any time after August 15, 1997
and before March 31, 2000 as described on the other side of this certificate.

                  In the event  that upon any  exercise  of  Warrants  evidenced
hereby the number of Warrants  exercised  shall be less than the total number of
Warrants  evidenced  hereby,  there shall be issued to the holder  hereof or his
assignee  a new  Warrant  Certificate  evidencing  the  number of  Warrants  not
exercised.  No  adjustment  shall be made for any  dividends on any Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Warrant Agreement provides that upon
the occurrence of certain events the Exercise Price set forth on the face hereof
may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.

                  Warrant  Certificates,  when  surrendered at the office of the
Warrant  Agent  by  the  registered   holder  thereof  in  person  or  by  legal
representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged,  in the
manner and subject to the  limitations  provided in the Warrant  Agreement,  but
without  payment of any service  charge,  for  another  Warrant  Certificate  or
Warrant  Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of
Warrants.  Upon due  presentation  for  registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate  at the office of the  Warrant  Agent a new Warrant  Certificate  or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants  shall be issued to the  transferee(s)  in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate,  subject to the  limitations  provided  in the  Warrant  Agreement,
without  charge  except,  under  the  circumstances  set  forth  in the  Warrant
Agreement,  for any tax or  other  governmental  charge  imposed  in  connection
therewith.

Certificate  (notwithstanding  any notation of ownership or other writing hereon

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, the Continuing
Directors  now  unanimously  desire to amend  certain  provisions  of the Rights
Agreement in order to supplement certain provisions therein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Rights Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

         1.       Section 1(a) is hereby amended by deleting Section 1(a)

                  "(a)              "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person (as
                           such term is hereinafter defined) who or which,
                           together with all Affiliates and Associates (as
                           such terms are hereinafter defined) of such Person,
                           after the date hereof, shall become the Beneficial
                           Owner (as such term is hereinafter defined) of 15%
                           or more of the Common Shares of the Company then
                           outstanding, but shall not include the Company, any
                           Subsidiary (as such term is hereinafter defined) of
                           the Company, any employee benefit plan of the

                           Company or of any  Subsidiary of the Company,  or any
                           entity  holding  Common Shares for or pursuant to the
                           terms of any such plan.

                                    Notwithstanding  anything in this  Agreement
                           that might  otherwise be deemed to the contrary;  (i)
                           no Person shall become an  "Acquiring  Person" as the
                           result  of an  acquisition  of  Common  Shares by the
                           Company  which,  by  reducing  the  number  of shares
                           outstanding,  increases the  proportionate  number of
                           shares  beneficially  owned by such  Person to 15% or
                           more  of  the  Common  Shares  of  the  Company  then
                           outstanding;  provided,  however,  that  if a  Person
                           shall become the  Beneficial  Owner of 15% or more of
                           the Common Shares of the Company then  outstanding by
                           reason of share  purchases  by the Company and shall,
                           after such share purchases by the Company, become the
                           Beneficial  Owner of any additional  Common Shares of
                           the  Company,  then such Person shall be deemed to be
                           an "Acquiring Person"; (ii) if the Board of Directors
                           of the Company determines in good faith that a Person
                           who would  otherwise  be an  "Acquiring  Person"  has
                           become such inadvertently, and such Person divests as
                           promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common
                           Shares  so that  such  Person  would no  longer be an
                           "Acquiring  Person,"  then such  Person  shall not be
                           deemed to be an  "Acquiring  Person" for any purposes
                           of this  Agreement;  (iii) no officer or  director of
                           the   Company  who  or  which,   together   with  all
                           Affiliates of such Person, is the Beneficial Owner of
                           15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
                           of the  Company as of the Record Date shall be deemed
                           an  "Acquiring   Person"  for  any  purpose  of  this
                           Agreement,  provided,  that such  officer or director
                           together  with his  Affiliates  does not  become  the
                           Beneficial  Owner  of 20% or more of the  outstanding
                           shares of Common Stock of the  Company,  and provided
                           further  that  such  officer  or  director  need  not
                           continue in such capacity  after the Record Date; and
                           (iv)  Appaloosa  Management  L.P. and its  affiliated
                           entities  identified in the Schedule 13D filing dated
                           May 13, 1997 (collectively, "Appaloosa") shall not be
                           deemed an "Acquiring  Person" for any purpose of this
                           Agreement with respect to Beneficial Ownership of 15%
                           or more of the  outstanding  shares of the  Company's
                           Common Stock  arising  solely from the  conversion by
                           Appaloosa  of any of the  Company's  Senior  Notes or
                           Convertible  Debentures  which were held by Appaloosa
                           on the Record  Date,  the  exercise  of any  Warrants
                           issued to Appaloosa arising from its ownership of

                           the Indenture  governing the Convertible  Debentures,
                           it being  understood  that the exception  provided in
                           this   clause   (iv)  shall  not  apply  to  (x)  any
                           transferees  who  may  acquire  any  securities  from
                           Appaloosa,  or (y)  shares  of the  Company's  Common
                           Stock,   Notes,   Convertible   Debentures  or  other
                           securities  of the  Company  which  may  be  acquired
                           (other  than  through  conversion  or exercise of the
                           instruments or rights  described  above) by Appaloosa
                           after the Record Date."

         2.       Section 1(g) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

         3.       Section 23(a) is hereby amended to delete the following
                  text from the last sentence of such section:

                  "; provided, however, if the Board of Directors of the Company
                  authorized  redemptions  of the  Rights  then  there  must  be
                  Continuing  Directors  then in office  and such  authorization
                  shall require the concurrence of a majority of such Continuing
                  Directors".

         4.       Section 27 is hereby amended by deleting Section 27 in
                  its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

                  "Section 27. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS.  The Company may (and
                  the Rights Agent shall at the  direction of the Company)  from
                  time to time  supplement or amend this  Agreement  without the
                  approval of any holders of Right Certificates in order to cure
                  any   ambiguity,   to  correct  or  supplement  any  provision
                  contained  herein which may be defective or inconsistent  with
                  any other provisions  herein,  or to make any other provisions
                  with  respect  to  the  Rights  which  the  Company  may  deem
                  necessary or desirable, any such supplement or amendment to be
                  evidenced  by a writing  signed by the  Company and the Rights
                  Agent.  This Agreement shall not be amended or supplemented in
                  any manner which would  adversely  affect the interests of the
                  holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or Affiliate
                  or  Associate  of an  Acquiring  Person).  Upon  delivery of a
                  certificate  from an appropriate  officer of the Company which
                  states  that  the  proposed  supplement  or  amendment  is  in
                  compliance with the terms of this Section 27, the Rights Agent
                  shall execute such  supplement  or amendment.  Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing,  the Company shall not amend, modify supplement
                  or replace  provision (iv) of Section 1(a) or otherwise amend,
                  modify or  supplement  any other  provision of this  Agreement
                  which  adversely  affects the rights and benefits of Appaloosa

                  case without the prior  written  consent of  Appaloosa.  It is
                  understood   and  agreed  that  Appaloosa  is  a  third  party
                  beneficiary  to this  Rights  Agreement  and may  enforce  the
                  provisions of this Section as if it were a party to the Rights
                  Agreement."

         5.       Section 29 is hereby  amended to delete each  reference to the
                  following text from such section:

                  "(with,   where   specifically   provided   for  herein,   the
                  concurrence of the Continuing Directors)".

         6.       Section 31 is hereby  amended to delete the last sentence from
                  such section which reads as follows:

                  "Without limiting the foregoing,  if any provision requiring a
                  majority  of the  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  to be
                  Continuing  Directors to act is held by any court of competent
                  jurisdiction  or  other  authority  to  be  invalid,  void  or
                  unenforceable,  such  determination  shall then be made by the
                  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  in   accordance   with
                  applicable law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
                  By-Laws."

         7.       Except as expressly herein set forth, the remaining provisions
                  of the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

         8.       This Amendment may be executed in any number of  counterparts,
                  and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed
                  to be an original,  and all such  counterparts  shall together
                  constitute but one and the same instrument.

                 INAMED CORPORATION REACHES SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
                          WITH APPALOOSA; RESTRUCTURES
                     11% SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE 1999

LAS VEGAS, NV - July 9, 1997 - INAMED  Corporation,  (OTC Bulletin Board:  IMDC;
PCX: INA), a global  medical and surgical  device  company  headquartered  here,
announced  today that it has reached a comprehensive  settlement  agreement with
Appaloosa Management L.P. ("Appaloosa").  As a result, the Company has agreed to
amend  certain  provisions  of its 11% Secured  Convertible  Notes due 1999 (the
"Notes").

The  restructuring  of the Notes is the result of  extensive  negotiations  with
Appaloosa and its affiliates,  who are holders of approximately 60% in principal
amount of the Notes. The purpose of this restructuring was to cure and waive all
past  defaults and provide  certainty as to the  conversion  price of the Notes,
which the Company has agreed to fix at $5.50 per share instead of 85% of market.
The  restructuring  also reduces the Company's debt by approximately $15 million
through the  redemption  of Notes with the  proceeds of the escrow  fund.  Those
monies  would be  replaced  when  needed to fund the  settlement  of the  breast
implant litigation with the capital raised through the manadatory  redmeption of
warrants with an exercise  price of $8.00 per share  (subject to  adjustment) at
the Company's  option,  if the Common Stock maintains a value of at least $10.00
per share for a specified measurement period.

In  connection  with the  restructuring  of the Notes,  Appaloosa  and Donald K.
McGhan,  the Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer and  Chairman,  have agreed to
certain standstill and voting


<PAGE>


restrictions  relating to their respective holdings of the Company's  securities
for a three-month period. The standstill provisions generally prohibit Appaloosa
and  McGhan  from  increasing  their  respective  beneficial  ownership  in  the
Company's  securities  and  prohibits  Appaloosa  from  soliciting  proxies  and
initiating  or  publicly  proposing  matters  for  a  submission  of a  vote  of
shareholders.  The  voting  provisions  require  that  for the  duration  of the
agreement,  Appaloosa  and  McGhan  will  vote all  their  respective  shares in
proportion  with the vote of all  other  shareholders  of the  Company's  Common
Stock.

Finally,  as part of the  overall  settlement  with  Appaloosa,  the Company has
amended its Shareholder  Rights Plan to permit Appaloosa to convert its existing
Notes and  Warrants  without  being  deemed an  "Acquiring  Person"  and thereby
triggering  the issuance of the Rights.  However,  Appaloosa  could not transfer
those securities to another party without triggering the Rights if the result of
such  transfer  would be an ownership  level in excess of the 15%  threshold set
forth in the Shareholder Rights Plan.

Mr. McGhan stated "We are pleased that the Company and Appaloosa  have been able
to  resolve  their  disputes  and we look  forward  to the  opportunity  to work
constructively with Appaloosa toward enhancing the value of the Company. In that
regard,  we hope in the near future that a representative of Appaloosa will join
our  Board of  Directors.  The  compromises  reached  will  enable  the Board of
Directors and  management  to focus their full  attention on the business of the
Company.  We believe this arrangement will be beneficial to both the Company and
the holders of the Notes and will assist the Company in moving  forward with its
primary objective of enhancing shareholder value."

The Company also  announced  that the Pacific  Stock  Exchange,  at the July 1st
meeting of its Equity Listing Committee, granted an extension for the listing of
the Company's Common Stock through August 31, 1997.

INAMED has 26 operating subsidiaries in the United States, Europe, Mexico, Latin
America and Asia. The subsidiaries are engaged in the development, manufacturing
and marketing of medical devices for the plastic and  reconstructive,  bariatric
and general surgery markets.
