401(k) Supplemental Plan – Abbott Laboratories

ABBOTT LABORATORIES 401(K) SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN

SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

1-1. PURPOSE. This Abbott Laboratories 401(k) Supplemental Plan
(the “Plan”) is being established by Abbott Laboratories (“Abbott”) to provide
eligible management employees of Abbott an opportunity to accumulate capital for
their retirement or other termination of employment in excess of the
contributions allowed under the Abbott Laboratories Stock Retirement Plan
(“Stock Plan”).

1-2. EFFECTIVE DATE; GRANDFATHERED AMOUNTS. The Plan became
effective as of October 1, 1993 and is hereby amended and restated, effective as
of January 1, 2008, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A (“Code
Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any amounts under the Plan
that were earned and vested before January 1, 2005 (as determined in accordance
with Code Section 409A) with respect to participants who retired before
January 1, 2005 (“Grandfathered Amounts”) shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan as administered and as in effect on December 31, 2004,
provided that the provisions of the Plan, as amended effective December 9, 2005
in accordance with Code Section 409A, shall also apply to Grandfathered
Amounts. Except as expressly provided above or elsewhere herein, amendments
made to the Plan pursuant to this amendment and restatement or otherwise shall
not affect the Grandfathered Amounts. The terms and conditions applicable to
the Grandfathered Amounts are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

1-3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board of Directors of
Abbott (the “Board of Directors”).

SECTION 2

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

2-1. PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. Participation in the Plan
shall be limited to employees who are serving as corporate officers of Abbott as
of October 1, 1993 or who become corporate officers thereafter. The term
“corporate officer” for purposes of the Plan shall mean an individual elected an
officer of Abbott by its Board of Directors (or designated as such for purposes
of the Plan by the Committee), but shall not include assistant officers. In the
event an employee should cease to be a corporate officer of Abbott due to
demotion or otherwise while remaining in the employ of Abbott, (a) such
employee’s elective deferral in effect for such year shall remain irrevocable,
(b) Abbott’s matching contributions under Section 4 shall immediately cease and
(c) such employee shall no longer be eligible to participate in the Plan as of
the end of such calendar year. In the event an employee should cease to be a
corporate officer of Abbott due to termination of employment, such employee
shall cease to be eligible to

participate in the Plan and any contributions then being made on behalf of
such employee shall immediately cease.

2-2. PARTICIPANT. An eligible employee may elect to participate in
the Plan by electing to have contributions made on the employee’s behalf as
provided in Section 5.

SECTION 3

EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

3-1. ALLOWABLE CONTRIBUTIONS. An eligible employee may elect to
have his employer make “pre-tax contributions” on his behalf in an amount not
greater than 18% in total of his compensation in any calendar year for services
rendered to his employer. A pre-tax contribution made by an employer on behalf
of a participant shall reduce the participant’s compensation at the time of
payment of such compensation. Each election hereunder shall be in writing, and
shall be in multiples of 1% of compensation.

3-2. COMPENSATION. A participant’s “compensation” shall have the
same meaning as that term is used in subsection 7-2 of the Stock Plan.

3-3. MAXIMUM EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding subsection
3-1, in no event shall the sum of:

(a) the participant’s total contributions, pre-tax contributions,
supplemental deposits and supplemental pre-tax contributions made under the
Stock Plan; plus

(b) the participant’s total pre-tax contributions made under the
Plan;

for any calendar year, exceed 18% of the employee’s compensation for such
year. In the event the limitation described in this subsection 3-3 would be
exceeded for any participant, the participant’s pre-tax contributions made under
this Plan shall be reduced until the limit is not exceeded.

3-4. CHANGE IN STOCK PLAN. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Sections 3-1 and 3-3 above, no action or inaction by an employee
under the Stock Plan may result in a change in amounts contributed to the Plan
in excess of the limit with respect to elective deferrals under
Section 402(g)(1)(A), (B) and (C) of the Code in effect for the year in which
the action or inaction occurs.

SECTION 4

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

For the calendar year ending December 31, 1993, and for each subsequent
calendar year, Abbott shall make a contribution on behalf of each participant in
the Plan who makes pre-tax contributions (“basic contributions”) under the Plan
during such year at the rate of two percent (2%) of compensation in excess of,
for calendar year 1993, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), and for
calendar years subsequent to 1993, the limit in effect for such year under Code
Section 40l(a)(17). Such employer contribution shall be in an amount equal to
the contribution the participant would have received under subsection 8-3 of the
Stock Plan with

respect to such basic contributions had such basic contributions been made
under subsection 7-1 of the Stock Plan.

To the extent applicable, a contribution made by a participant under
subsection 5-4 shall be considered a basic contribution for purposes of this
Section 4 to the extent it includes contributions at the rate of two percent
(2%) of compensation for 1993 in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000).

SECTION 5

ELECTIONS

5-1. ANNUAL ELECTIONS REQUIRED. Except as provided in Section 5-3,
a participant shall elect to make pre-tax contributions with respect to
compensation earned in any calendar year on or prior to December 31st of the
prior calendar year. Each such election shall be in writing, shall be filed
with the Committee, shall be effective only for the calendar year for which made
and shall be irrevocable. An employee who fails to make a timely election under
this subsection 5-1 for a calendar year may not contribute to the Plan during
the following year.

5-2. [Section intentionally omitted.]

5-3. NEWLY ELIGIBLE AND NEWLY HIRED EMPLOYEES. A newly hired
corporate officer described in Section 2-1 shall become eligible to participate
in the Plan on the first day of the month next following the month after the
individual’s date of hire; provided, that in no event may such individual
begin to participate in the Plan later than 90 days following his or her date of
hire. An eligible employee described in the preceding sentence (who was not
eligible to participate in any other plan that would be aggregated with the Plan
under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c)) shall make the election described in
Section 5-1 within thirty (30) days of the date on which he first becomes
eligible under the Plan. Any such election shall become effective for
compensation earned no earlier than the first payroll period commencing after
receipt of the election by the Committee and shall be irrevocable for the
remainder of the calendar year. Any other newly eligible employee shall make
the election described in Section 5-1 no later than December 31st of the year in
which such employee first becomes eligible under the Plan. Any such election
shall become effective for compensation earned in the calendar year following
the year in which the election is made.

5-4. SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION FOR 1993. Employees who are serving as
corporate officers of Abbott and who have established “Grantor Trusts” under the
1986 Abbott Laboratories Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) as of October 1,
1993, may elect to make a lump-sum contribution based on compensation earned
during the period of January 1, 1993 through September 30, 1993 (the “Make-Up
Period”) by filing an election with the Administrator and tendering payment in
cash to such Grantor Trust of the amount of the contribution, not later than
October 31, 1993. Any such contribution shall not exceed the maximum
contribution allowed under subsection 3-3 based on the employee’s Stock Plan
contributions made, and compensation earned, during the Make-Up Period.

5-5. GRANTOR TRUST ELECTION. At the time of the annual elections
described in subsection 5-1, each participant may elect to have his pre-tax and
employer contributions for the following year deposited in a “Grantor Trust”
established by the participant under the

circumstances and on the terms described in subsection 6-1, rather than defer
such contributions under subsection 5-1. Any such election shall be irrevocable
and shall apply to all pre-tax contributions made during, and employer
contributions made for, such calendar year on behalf of such participant. If
the participant fails to make an election under this subsection 5-5, the
participant’s pre-tax contributions made during, and employer contribution made
for, such calendar year shall be retained by Abbott and shall not be deposited
in a Grantor Trust in the future. In no event shall such contributions be paid
to the Grantor Trust later than the last day of the “applicable 2 1/2 month
period”, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(A).

SECTION 6

FUNDING EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

6-1. CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE DEPOSITED IN GRANTOR TRUSTS. Each
participant’s pre-tax contributions and employer contributions which the
participant has filed an election under subsection 5-5 shall be deposited in a
“Grantor Trust” established by the participant, as described in subsection 6-3,
provided such trust is in a form which the Committee determines is substantially
similar to the trust attached to this Plan as Exhibit B.

6-2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE RETAINED BY ABBOTT. Each participant’s
pre-tax contributions and employer contributions for which the participant has
not filed an election under subsection 5-5 shall be retained by Abbott and
credited to a Deferred Account established under subsection 7-1.

6-3. AFTER ESTABLISHMENT OF GRANTOR TRUST. After a Grantor Trust
has been established by a participant under subsection 6-1, all pre-tax
contributions and employer contributions made thereafter for which the
participant has filed an election under subsection 5-5, shall be deposited in
such Grantor Trust (less the aggregate federal, state and local individual
income and employment taxes (determined under subsection 8-5) attributable to
such contributions). Such deposits shall be made as soon as practicable after
the last complete payroll period of the calendar quarter in which the
contributions are made. The appropriate aggregate federal, state and local
individual income and employment taxes attributable to the contributions shall
be paid directly to the participant. In no event shall such contributions be
paid to the Grantor Trust or the participant later than the last day of the
“applicable 2 1/2 month period”, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation §
1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(A).

6-4. [Section intentionally omitted.]

6-5. ELIMINATION OF GRANTOR TRUST FUNDING THRESHOLD.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, effective as of
January 1, 2005, the Grantor Trust established by the participant shall be
funded in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

6-6. UTILIZATION OF TRANSITION RELIEF UNDER SECTION 409A OF THE
CODE. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant
to Q&A-20 of Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1 (the “Notice”), Abbott
shall cause the amount of all pre-tax and employer contributions and all
associated earnings, including guaranteed rate payments, for the periods ended
on or prior to December 31, 2005 for each participant who has made a

Grantor Trust election under subsection 5-5, to the extent not previously
contributed to a Grantor Trust established by the participant, to be deposited
in such Grantor Trust on or prior to December 31, 2005. Such contribution is
intended to result in a partial termination of participation in the Plan as
permitted by the Notice. Each participant who has established a Grantor Trust
and who receives such contribution shall include the full amount of such Grantor
Trust contribution in the participant’s income in 2005.

SECTION 7

ACCOUNTING

7-1. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. The Committee shall establish accounts for
participants who have made elections pursuant to subsection 5-1 or 5-5 as
follows:

(a) The Committee shall maintain a “Deferred Account” in the name
of each participant who has elected to defer payment of all or a portion of his
or her pre-tax contributions under subsection 5-1. The Deferred Account shall
be comprised of any pre-tax contributions made on behalf of the participant
under subsection 3-1 and any other allocations made on behalf of the participant
under Section 4, in each case, for which the participant has not made an
election under subsection 5-5, and any adjustments made pursuant to subsection
7-2.

(b) The Committee shall maintain two separate Accounts, a “Pre-Tax
Account” and an “After-Tax Account”, in the name of each participant who has
declined to defer allocations by electing to have a portion of his or her
pre-tax and employer contributions deposited in cash to a Grantor Trust
according to subsection 5-5. The Pre-Tax Account shall consist of the aggregate
of all pre-tax contributions contemplated by subsection 3-1, whether deposited
to the participant’s Grantor Trust or made in cash to the participant, and any
adjustments in accordance with subsection 7-3. The After-Tax Account shall
consist of employer contributions deposited to the participant’s Grantor Trust
in cash according to subsection 5-5 and any adjustments made in accordance with
subsection 7-4.

7-2. ADJUSTMENT OF DEFERRED ACCOUNTS. No later than as of the end
of each calendar year, each participant’s Deferred Account shall be adjusted by
the Committee as follows:

(a) FIRST, reduced by an amount equal to any distribution made to
the participant during that year pursuant to subsections 7-11 or 7-12;

(b) NEXT, increased by an amount equal to any pre-tax contributions
and employer contributions made on behalf of such participant for that year for
which the participant has not made an election under subsection 5-5; and

7-3. ADJUSTMENT OF PRE-TAX ACCOUNTS. No later than as of the end of
each calendar year, each participant’s Pre-Tax Account shall be adjusted by the
Committee as follows:

(a) FIRST, reduced, in any year in which the participant is
entitled to receive a distribution from his or her Grantor Trust, by an amount
equal to the distribution that would have been made to the participant if the
aggregate amounts allocated according to subsection 5-5 had instead been
deferred under subsection 5-1;

(b) NEXT, increased by an amount equal to any pre-tax contributions
and employer contributions made on behalf of the participant for that year that
are paid to the participant (including any contributions paid to the
participant’s Grantor Trust) according to subsection 5-5;

7-4. ADJUSTMENT OF AFTER-TAX ACCOUNTS. No later than as of the end
of each calendar year, each participant’s After-Tax Account shall be adjusted by
the Committee as follows:

(a) FIRST, reduced, in any year in which the participant is in
receipt of a benefit distribution from his or her Grantor Trust, by an amount
calculated as provided by subsection 7-16 which represents the distribution for
such year;

(b) NEXT, increased by an amount equal to any pre-tax contributions
and employer contributions made on behalf of the participant for that year that
are deposited in the participant’s Grantor Trust according to subsection 5-5;

7-5. INTEREST ACCRUALS ON ACCOUNTS.

(a) No later than as of the end of each calendar year, a
participant’s Deferred Account or Pre-Tax Account, as applicable, shall be
credited with interest (“Interest”) at the following rate:

(i) the average of the “prime rate” of interest published by the Wall
Street Journal (Mid-West Edition) or comparable successor quotation service on
the first business day of January and the last business day of each month of the
calendar year; plus

(ii) two hundred twenty-five (225) basis points.

(b) No later than as of the end of each calendar year, a
participant’s After-Tax Account shall be credited with the amount of Interest
set forth above, multiplied by (one minus the aggregate of the applicable
federal, state and local individual income tax rates and employment tax rate,
determined in accordance with subsection 8-5 (the “After-Tax Interest”)).

(c) The Interest and After-Tax Interest, as applicable, shall be
credited on the conditions established by the Committee.

7-6. GUARANTEED RATE PAYMENTS. In addition to any employer
contribution made on behalf of a participant for any calendar year pursuant to
section 4, Abbott shall also make a payment to a participant’s Grantor Trust (a
“Guaranteed Rate Payment”) for each year in which the Grantor Trust is in
effect. The Guaranteed Payment shall equal the excess, if any, of the
participant’s “Net Interest Accrual” (as defined below) over the net earnings of
the participant’s Grantor Trust for the year, and shall be paid within the
thirty (30) days beginning April 1 of the following calendar year. A
participant’s Net Interest Accrual for a year is an amount equal to: the
After-Tax Interest credited to the participant’s After-Tax Account for that year
in accordance with subsection 7-5.

7-7. GRANTOR TRUST ASSETS. Each participant’s Grantor Trust assets
shall be invested solely in the instruments specified by investment guidelines
established by the Committee. Such investment guidelines, once established, may
be changed by the Committee, provided that any change shall not take effect
until the year following the year in which the change is made and provided
further that the instruments specified shall be consistent with the provisions
of Section 3(b) of the form of Grantor Trust attached hereto as Exhibit B.

7-8. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES. Subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth below, each participant, and after a participant’s death,
each primary beneficiary designated by a participant in accordance with the
provisions of this subsection 7-6, shall have the right from time to time to
designate a primary beneficiary or beneficiaries and, successive or contingent
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive unpaid amounts from the participant’s
Deferred Account under the Plan. Beneficiaries may be a natural person or
persons or a fiduciary, such as a trustee of a trust or the legal representative
of an estate. Any such designation shall take effect upon the death of the
participant or such beneficiary, as the case may be, or in the case of any
fiduciary beneficiary, upon the termination of all of its duties (other than the
duty to dispose of the right to receive amounts remaining to be paid under the
Plan). The conditions and limitations relating to the designation of
beneficiaries are as follows:

(a) A nonfiduciary beneficiary shall have the right to designate a
further beneficiary or beneficiaries only if the original participant or the
next preceding primary beneficiary, as the case may be, shall have expressly so
provided in writing; and

(b) A fiduciary beneficiary shall designate as a further
beneficiary or beneficiaries only those persons or other fiduciaries who are
entitled to receive the amounts payable from the participant’s account under the
trust or estate of which it is a fiduciary.

Any beneficiary designation or grant of any power to any beneficiary under
this subsection may be exercised only by an instrument in writing, executed by
the person making the designation or granting such power and filed with the
Secretary of Abbott during such person’s lifetime or prior to the termination of
a fiduciary’s duties. If a deceased participant or a deceased nonfiduciary
beneficiary who had the right to designate a beneficiary as provided above dies
without having designated a further beneficiary, or if no beneficiary designated
as provided above is living or qualified and acting, the Committee, in its
discretion, may direct distribution of the amount remaining from time to time to
either:

(i) any one or more or all of the next of kin (including the surviving
spouse) of the participant or the deceased beneficiary, as the case may be, and
in such proportions as the Committee determines; or

(ii) the legal representative of the estate of the deceased participant or
deceased beneficiary as the case may be.

7-9. NON-ASSIGNABILITY AND FACILITY OF PAYMENT. Amounts payable to
participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan are not in any way subject
to their debts and other obligations, and may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily sold, transferred or assigned; provided that the preceding
provisions of this section shall not be construed as restricting in any way a
designation right granted to a beneficiary pursuant to the terms of subsection
7-6. When a participant or the beneficiary of a participant is under legal
disability, or in the Committee’s opinion is in any way incapacitated so as to
be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Committee may direct that
payments shall be made to the participant’s or beneficiary’s legal
representative, or to a relative or friend of the participant or beneficiary for
the benefit of the participant or beneficiary, or the Committee may direct the
payment or distribution for the benefit of the participant or beneficiary in any
manner that the Committee determines.

7-10. PAYER OF AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO PARTICIPANTS. Any employer
contribution made on behalf of a participant in the Plan and any interest
credited with respect thereto will be paid by the employer (or such employer’s
successor) by whom the participant was employed during the calendar year for
which any amount was contributed, and for that purpose, if a participant shall
have been employed by two or more employers during any calendar year the amount
allocated under this Plan for that year shall be an obligation of each of the
respective employers in proportion to the respective amounts of compensation
paid by each of them in that calendar year.

7-11. MANNER OF PAYMENT OF DEFERRED ACCOUNTS. Subject to subsection
7-12, a participant shall elect to receive payment of his Deferred Account in
substantially equal annual installments over a minimum period of ten years, or a
longer period, at the time of his election for such calendar year under
subsection 5-1. Payment of a participant’s Deferred Account shall commence on
the first business day of January of the year following the year in which the
participant incurs a termination of employment.

7-12. PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a participant incurs a
termination of employment with Abbott and its subsidiaries for any reason within
two (2) years following the date of a Change in Control, provided that the event
constituting a Change in Control is also a “change in control event”, as such
term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5): (a) with respect to a
participant whose contributions under the Plan are deferred in accordance with
subsection 5-1, the aggregate unpaid balance of the participant’s Deferred
Account shall be paid to such participant in a lump sum within thirty (30) days
following the date of such termination of employment, and (b) with respect to a
participant whose contributions under the Plan are made pursuant to subsection
5-5, (i) the aggregate of the participant’s unpaid contributions under
subsection 5-5 (if any) for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs and
(ii) a pro rata portion of the unpaid Guaranteed Rate Payment under subsection
7-6 attributable to the portion of the year elapsed prior to the date of
termination, shall be paid to such participant’s Grantor

Trust in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following the date of such
termination of employment.

7-13. CHANGE IN CONTROL. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to
have occurred on the earliest of the following dates:

(a) the date any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner,
directly or indirectly, of securities of Abbott (not including in the securities
beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from Abbott
or its Affiliates) representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
Abbott’s then outstanding securities, excluding any Person who becomes such a
Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (i) of
paragraph (c) below; or

(b) the date the following individuals cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who,
on the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors and any new director
(other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with
an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent
solicitation, relating to the election of directors of Abbott) whose appointment
or election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by Abbott’s
shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3)
of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date
hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously
so approved or recommended; or

(c) the date on which there is consummated a merger or
consolidation of Abbott or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Abbott with any
other corporation or other entity, other than (i) a merger or consolidation
(A) immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board of
Directors immediately prior thereto constitute at least a majority of the Board
of Directors of Abbott, the entity surviving such merger or consolidation or, if
Abbott or the entity surviving such merger or consolidation is then a
subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof and (B) which results in the voting
securities of Abbott outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent
thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Abbott or any subsidiary of
Abbott, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the securities of Abbott or
such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such
merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement
a recapitalization of Abbott (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or
becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Abbott
(not including in the securities Beneficially Owned by such Person any
securities acquired directly from Abbott or its Affiliates) representing 20% or
more of the combined voting power of Abbott’s then outstanding securities; or

(d) the date the shareholders of Abbott approve a plan of complete
liquidation or dissolution of Abbott or there is consummated an agreement for
the sale or

disposition by Abbott of all or substantially all of Abbott’s assets, other
than a sale or disposition by Abbott of all or substantially all of Abbott’s
assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of which are owned by shareholders of Abbott, in combination with the
ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of Abbott or any subsidiary of Abbott, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of Abbott immediately prior to such sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to
have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of
integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the
common stock of Abbott immediately prior to such transaction or series of
transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in
an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of Abbott
immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

For purposes of this Plan: “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in
Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; “Beneficial Owner”
shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; “Exchange
Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to
time; and “Person” shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the
Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except
that such term shall not include (i) Abbott or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
Abbott or any of its Affiliates, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding
securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (iv) a corporation
owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of Abbott in substantially
the same proportions as their ownership of stock of Abbott.

7-14. POTENTIAL CHANGE IN CONTROL. A “Potential Change in Control”
shall exist during any period in which the circumstances described in paragraphs
(a), (b), (c) or (d), below, exist (provided, however, that a Potential Change
in Control shall cease to exist not later than the occurrence of a Change in
Control):

(a) Abbott enters into an agreement, the consummation of which
would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control, provided that a Potential
Change in Control described in this paragraph (a) shall cease to exist upon the
expiration or other termination of all such agreements.

(b) Any Person (without regard to the exclusions set forth in
subsections (i) through (iv) of such definition) publicly announces an intention
to take or to consider taking actions the consummation of which would constitute
a Change in Control; provided that a Potential Change in Control described in
this paragraph (b) shall cease to exist upon the withdrawal of such intention,
or upon a determination by the Board of Directors that there is no reasonable
chance that such actions would be consummated.

(c) Any Person becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
indirectly, of securities of Abbott representing 10% or more of either the then
outstanding shares of common stock of Abbott or the combined voting power of
Abbott’s then outstanding securities (not including any securities beneficially
owned by such Person which are or were acquired directly from Abbott or its
Affiliates).

(d) The Board of Directors adopts a resolution to the effect that,
for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control exists; provided
that a Potential Change in Control described in this paragraph (d) shall cease
to exist upon a determination by the Board of Directors that the reasons that
gave rise to the resolution providing for the existence of a Potential Change in
Control have expired or no longer exist.

7-15. PROHIBITION AGAINST AMENDMENT. The provisions of subsections
7-12, 7-13, 7-14 and this subsection 7-15 may not be amended or deleted, nor
superseded by any other provision of this Plan, (i) during the pendency of a
Potential Change in Control and (ii) during the period beginning on the date of
a Change in Control and ending on the date five (5) years following such Change
in Control.

7-16. ADMINISTRATOR’S CALCULATION OF GRANTOR TRUST DISTRIBUTIONS. The
Administrator shall calculate the amount to be distributed from a participant’s
Grantor Trust in any year in which the participant is entitled to a benefit
distribution by multiplying (i) the amount of the reduction determined in
accordance with subsection 7-3(a), by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the balance in the participant’s After-Tax Account as of the end of the prior
calendar year and the denominator of which is the balance of the participant’s
Pre-Tax Account as of that same date.

SECTION 8
MISCELLANEOUS

8-1. RULES. The Committee may establish such rules and regulations
as it may consider necessary or desirable for the effective and efficient
administration of the Plan.

8-2. TAXES. Any employer shall be entitled, if necessary or
desirable, to pay, or withhold the amount of any federal, state or local tax,
attributable to any amounts payable by it under the Plan after giving the person
entitled to receive such amount notice as far in advance as practicable, and may
require payment from the participant in an amount necessary to satisfy such
taxes prior to remitting such taxes.

8-3. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS. Employment rights of participants with
Abbott and its subsidiaries shall not be enlarged or affected by reason of
establishment of or inclusion as a participant in the Plan. Nothing contained in
the Plan shall require Abbott or any subsidiary to segregate or earmark any
assets, funds or property for the purpose of payment of any amounts which may
have been deferred. The Deferred, Pre-Tax and After-Tax Accounts established
pursuant to subsection 7-1 are for the convenience of the administration of the
Plan and no trust relationship with respect to such Accounts is intended or
should be implied. Participant’s rights shall be limited to payment to them at
the time or times and in such amounts as are contemplated

by the Plan. Any decision made by the Committee which is within his sole and
uncontrolled discretion, shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons
whomsoever.

8-4. TAX GROSS UP. In addition to the employer contribution
provided under Section 4, each participant who has established a Grantor Trust
(or, if the participant is deceased, the beneficiary designated under the
participant’s Grantor Trust) shall be entitled to a Tax Gross Up payment for
each year in which the Grantor Trust is in effect. Payment of the Tax Gross Up
(as defined below) shall be made by the employers (in such proportions as Abbott
shall designate) directly from their general corporate assets, no later than the
end of the calendar year in which the participant remits the related taxes. The
“Tax Gross Up” shall equal:

(a) the amount necessary to compensate the participant (or
beneficiary) for the net increase in the participant’s (or beneficiary’s)
federal, state and local income taxes as a result of the inclusion in his
taxable income of the income of the participant’s Grantor Trust and any
Guaranteed Rate Payment for that year; plus

(b) an amount necessary to compensate the participant (or
beneficiary) for the net increase in the taxes described in (a) above as a
result of the inclusion in his taxable income of any payment made pursuant to
this subsection 8-4.

8-5. INCOME TAX ASSUMPTIONS. For purposes of Sections 7 and 8, a
participant’s federal income tax rate shall be deemed to be the highest marginal
rate of federal individual income tax in effect in the calendar year in which a
calculation under those Sections is to be made, and state and local tax rates
shall be deemed to be the highest marginal rates of individual income tax in
effect in the state and locality of the participant’s residence on the date such
a calculation is made, net of any federal tax benefits without a benefit for any
net capital losses. For purposes of Sections 7 and 8, a participant’s employment
tax rate shall be deemed to be the highest marginal rate of Federal Insurance
Contributions Act tax in effect in the calendar year in which a calculation
under those sections is to be made.

8-6. GENDER. For purposes of the Plan, words in the masculine
gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, the singular shall include
the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

8-7. MANNER OF ACTION BY COMMITTEE. A majority of the members of
the Committee qualified to act on any particular question may act by meeting or
by writing signed without meeting, and may execute any instrument or document
required or delegate to one of its members authority to sign. The Committee
from time to time may delegate the performance of certain ministerial functions
in connection with the Plan, such as the keeping of records, to such person or
persons as the Committee may select. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
the Plan, the costs of administration of the Plan will be paid by Abbott. Any
notice required to be given to, or any document required to be filed with the
Committee, will be properly given or filed if mailed or delivered in writing to
the Secretary of Abbott.

8-8. RELIANCE UPON ADVICE. The Board of Directors and the Committee
may rely upon any information or advice furnished to it by any Officer of Abbott
or by Abbott’s independent auditors, or other consultants, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon such information or advice. No member of the Board of
Directors or the Committee shall be liable for any act or failure to act on
their part, excepting only any acts done or omitted to be done in bad faith, nor
shall they be liable for any act or failure to act of any other member.

8-9. CHANGE OF CONDITIONS RELATING TO PAYMENTS. No change to the
time of payment or the time of commencement of payment and any period over which
payment shall be made shall be effected except in strict compliance with the
subsequent election requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b), to the
extent subject thereto.

8-10. SECTION 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the
Plan comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A. The Plan will be
administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any
provision that would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy Code Section 409A will
have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may
be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A). Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, for all purposes of the Plan, a
participant shall not be deemed to have had a termination of employment until
the participant has incurred a separation from service as defined in Treasury
Regulation §1.409A-1(h) and, to the extent required to avoid accelerated
taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance
issued thereunder, payment of the amounts payable under the Plan that would
otherwise be payable during the six-month period after the date of termination
shall instead be paid on the first business day after the expiration of such
six-month period, plus interest thereon, at a rate equal to the rate of Interest
provided in subsection 7-5(a) (to the extent that such interest is not already
provided to the participant under subsection 7-6), from the respective dates on
which such amounts would otherwise have been paid until the actual date of
payment. In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid and each
installment payment shall be construed as a separate identified payment for
purposes of Code Section 409A.

SECTION 9
AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF
CONDITIONS RELATING TO PAYMENTS

The Plan will be effective from its effective date until terminated by the
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors reserves the right to amend the Plan
from time to time and to terminate the Plan at any time. No such amendment or
any termination of the Plan shall reduce any fixed or contingent obligations
which shall have arisen under the Plan prior to the date of such amendment or
termination.

Exhibit 10.1 to the Abbott Laboratories Current Report on Form 8-K dated
December 9, 2005.]

EXHIBIT B

IRREVOCABLE GRANTOR TRUST AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made this day of , ,
by and between of , Illinois
(the “grantor”), and The Northern Trust Company located at Chicago, Illinois, as
trustee (the “trustee”),

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, the grantor desires to establish and maintain a trust to hold
certain benefits received by the grantor under the Abbott Laboratories
40l(k) Supplemental Plan, as it may be amended from time to time;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED as follows:

ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION

I-1. NAME. This agreement and the trust hereby evidenced (the
“trust”) may be referred to as the “________ Grantor Trust”.

I-2. THE TRUST FUND. The “trust fund” as at any date means all
property then held by the trustee under this agreement.

I-3. STATUS OF THE TRUST. The trust shall be irrevocable. The trust
is intended to constitute a grantor trust under Sections 671-678 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

I-4. THE ADMINISTRATOR. Abbott Laboratories (“Abbott”) shall act as
the “administrator” of the trust, and as such shall have certain powers, rights
and duties under this agreement as described below. Abbott will certify to the
trustee from time to time the person or persons authorized to act on behalf of
Abbott as the administrator. The trustee may rely on the latest certificate
received without further inquiry or verification.

I-5. ACCEPTANCE. The trustee accepts the duties and obligations of
the “trustee” hereunder, agrees to accept funds delivered to it by the grantor
or the administrator, and agrees to hold such funds (and any proceeds from the
investment of such funds) in trust in accordance with this agreement.

ARTICLE II
DISTRIBUTION OF THE TRUST FUND

II-1. DEFERRED ACCOUNT. The administrator shall maintain a “deferred
account” under the trust. As of the end of each calendar year, the administrator
shall charge the deferred account with all distributions made from such account
during that year; and credit such account with income and realized gains and
charge such account with expenses and realized losses for the year.

II-2. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE DEFERRED ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE GRANTOR’S
DEATH. Principal and accumulated income credited to the deferred account shall
not be distributed from the trust prior to the grantor’s retirement or other
termination of employment with Abbott or a subsidiary of Abbott (the grantor’s
“settlement date”); provided that, each year the administrator may direct the
trustee to distribute to the grantor a portion of the income of the deferred
account for that year, with the balance of such income to be accumulated in that
account. The administrator shall inform the trustee of the grantor’s settlement
date. Thereafter, the trustee shall distribute the amounts from time to time
credited to the deferred account to the grantor, if then living, either in a
lump-sum payable as soon as practicable following the settlement date, or in a
series of annual installments, with the amount of each installment computed by
one of the following methods:

(a) The amount of each installment shall be
equal to the sum of: (i) the amount credited to the deferred account as of the
end of the year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs, divided by the
number of years over which installments are to be distributed; plus (ii) the net
earnings credited to the deferred account for the preceding year (excluding the
year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs).

(b) The amount of each installment shall be
determined by dividing the amount credited to the deferred account as of the end
of the preceding year by the difference between (i) the total number of years
over which installments are to be distributed, and (ii) the number of annual
installment distributions previously made from the deferred account.

(c) Each installment (after the first
installment) shall be approximately equal, with the amount comprised of the sum
of: (i) the amount of the first installment, plus interest thereon at the rate
determined under the Abbott Laboratories 401(k) Supplemental Plan, compounded
annually; and (ii) the net earnings credited to the deferred account for the
preceding year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final installment distribution made to the
grantor under this paragraph II-3 shall equal the total principal and
accumulated income then held in the trust fund. The grantor, by writing filed
with the trustee and the administrator on or before the end of the calendar year
in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs, may select either the lump-sum or
an installment payment method and, if an installment method is selected, may
select both the period (which may not be less than ten years from the end of the
calendar year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurred) over which the
installment distributions are to be made and the method of computing the amount
of each installment. In the absence of such a written direction by the grantor,
installment distributions shall be made over a period of ten years, and the
amount of each installment shall be computed by using the method described in
subparagraph (a) next above. Installment distributions under this Paragraph
II-2 shall be made as of January 1 of each year, beginning with the calendar
year following the year in which the grantor’s settlement date occurs. The
administrator shall inform the trustee of the amount of each installment
distribution under this paragraph II-2, and the trustee shall be fully protected
in relying on such information received from the administrator.

II-3. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE GRANTOR’S DEATH. The grantor, from
time to time may name any person or persons (who may be named contingently or
successively and who may be natural persons or fiduciaries) to whom the
principal of the trust fund and all accrued or undistributed income thereof
shall be distributed in a lump sum or, if the beneficiary is the grantor’s
spouse (or a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income
beneficiary), in installments, as directed by the grantor, upon the grantor’s
death. If the grantor directs an installment method of distribution to the
spouse as beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse
beneficiary shall be distributed in a lump sum to the executor or administrator
of the spouse beneficiary’s estate. If the grantor directs an installment
method of distribution to a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole
income beneficiary, any amounts remaining at the death of the spouse shall be
distributed in a lump sum to such trust. Despite the foregoing, if (i) the
beneficiary is a trust for which the grantor’s spouse is the sole income
beneficiary, (ii) payments are being made pursuant to this paragraph II-3 other
than in a lump sum and (iii) income earned by the trust fund for the year
exceeds the amount of the annual installment payment, then such trust may elect
to withdraw such excess income by written notice to the trustee. Each
designation shall revoke all prior designations, shall be in writing and shall
be effective only when filed by the grantor with the administrator during the
grantor’s lifetime. If the grantor fails to direct a method of distribution,
the distribution shall be made in a lump sum. If the grantor fails to designate
a beneficiary as provided above, then on the grantor’s death, the trustee shall
distribute the balance of the trust fund in a lump sum to the executor or
administrator of the grantor’s estate.

II-4. FACILITY OF PAYMENT. When a person entitled to a distribution
hereunder is under legal disability, or, in the trustee’s opinion, is in any way
incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the
trustee may make such distribution to such person’s legal representative, or to
a relative or friend of such person for such person’s benefit. Any distribution
made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be a full and complete
discharge of any liability for such distribution hereunder.

II-5. PERPETUITIES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
agreement, on the day next preceding the end of 21 years after the death of the
last to die of the grantor and the grantor’s descendants living on the date of
this instrument, the trustee shall immediately distribute any remaining balance
in the trust to the beneficiaries then entitled to distributions hereunder.

(q) To perform any and all other acts which in the trustee’s
judgment are appropriate for the proper management, investment and distribution
of the trust fund.

which is not distributed as provided in Article II shall be accumulated and from
time to time added to the principal of the trust. The grantor’s interest in the
trust shall include all assets or other property held by the trustee hereunder,
