This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”) is made and effective as of [DATE] (the “Date of Grant”) between Akorn, Inc. (the “Company”) and [FIRST NAME — LAST NAME] (the “Participant”), pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Akorn, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Plan. Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 24, 2017, among the Company, Fresenius Kabi AG, a German stock corporation, Quercus Acquisition, Inc., a Louisiana corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and, solely for purposes of Article VIII thereof, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, a German partnership limited by shares.

1.Award of Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does award to the Participant on the Date of Grant [TOTAL NUMBER OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED] restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

2.    Vesting Schedule. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture as of the Date of Grant and shall vest and cease to be forfeitable in installments on the applicable date for such installment as set forth below (each such date, a “Normal Vesting Date”), in each case subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Company through the applicable Normal Vesting Date. For purposes of this Award Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 17 or as otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant’s service with the Company shall be deemed to continue so long as the Participant is employed by, or is otherwise providing services as a director, officer or consultant to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Subject to Section 3, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately and automatically terminate and be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service with the Company for any reason or as of the date of the Participant’s death or Disability, in each case prior to the applicable Normal Vesting Date set forth above. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” means total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

3.    Change of Control.

(a)    In the event of a Change of Control, unless provision is made in connection with the Change of Control for (1) assumption of the Restricted Stock Units or (2) substitution for the Restricted Stock Units of new awards covering stock of a successor corporation or its “parent corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or “subsidiary corporation” (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically vest as of immediately prior to such Change of Control and shall be settled in accordance with Section 5; provided that in the event of the consummation of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically be converted into an unvested award representing the opportunity to receive cash payments as described in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04 of the Merger Agreement (the Restricted Stock Units as so converted, the “Converted Award”).

(b)    In the event the Restricted Stock Units are assumed or substituted by the successor company or its Affiliate in connection with a Change of Control or converted into the Converted Award in each case as described in clause (a) of this Section 3, if the Participant’s service with the Company is terminated for any reason following the Change of Control (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Participant’s service with the Company that shall occur in connection with the consummation of the Merger), all unvested Restricted Stock Units (or the Converted Award, as applicable) shall automatically vest immediately prior to such termination and shall be settled in accordance with Section 5.

4.    Vesting Date. The “Vesting Date” means the date that a Restricted Stock Unit (or the Converted Award, as applicable) is no longer subject to forfeiture and is vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable.

5.    Settlement. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one Share on the applicable Vesting Date. The Participant shall have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units prior to the applicable Vesting Date. Prior to payment of any vested Restricted Stock Unit, such Restricted Stock Unit shall represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 (as applicable) shall be paid to the Participant in whole Shares. Such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares (or in cash, in the case of the Converted Award) as soon as practicable after vesting, but in no event later than sixty days following the Vesting Date. In no event shall the Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units (or the Converted Award, as applicable) payable under this Award Agreement. The payment of Shares (or cash, in the case of the Converted Award) pursuant to this Award Agreement shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

6.    Participant Acknowledgments. By executing this Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a)    The Company is not providing the Participant with advice, warranties or representations regarding any of the legal or tax effects to the Participant with respect to this Award Agreement and the Participant shall be responsible for all taxes incurred by the Participant in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

(b)    The Participant acknowledges that he or she is (1) familiar with the terms of the grant made to him or her under this Award Agreement and the Plan, (2) has been encouraged by the Company to discuss the grant and the Plan with his or her own legal and tax advisers, and (3) agrees to be bound by the terms of the grant and the Plan.

7.    Rights as Stockholder. None of the Participant or holder or beneficiary of the Restricted Stock Units shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under this Award Agreement until he or she has become the holder of such Shares, at which point the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. In no event shall the Participant be entitled to receive dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any Shares deliverable under this Award Agreement prior to the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units (or the Converted Award, as applicable).

8.    Transferability; Successors and Assigns. During the Participant’s lifetime, prior to the applicable Vesting Date, no Restricted Stock Unit (or any rights and obligations related thereto) may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that, (a) the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance and (b) the Board or the Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Restricted Stock Units (or the Converted Award, as applicable) be transferred to a third party for value unless such transfer is specifically approved by the Committee. All terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be binding upon any permitted successors and assigns.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the second business day following the date mailed by United States Mail, postage prepaid, to the parties or their assignees at the following addresses, or at such other address as shall be given in writing by either party to the other:

14.    Severability.

16.    Additional Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the issuance and transfer of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Shares may be listed. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Award Agreement unless and until any then applicable requirements of Federal or state laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration, qualification or rule compliance of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal law, the tax code and related regulations or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Participant (or his or her estate) hereunder, such issuance shall not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, rule compliance, consent or approval shall have been completed, effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate U.S. Federal securities laws or any other applicable securities or exchange control laws, the Company shall defer delivery until the earliest date on which the Company reasonably concludes, in its sole discretion, that the delivery of such Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company shall make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such Federal or state law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority or securities exchange.

17.    Section 409A.

(a)    It is intended that the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award Agreement comply with, or are exempt from, Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of the Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

(b)    If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (1) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (2) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable pursuant to this Award Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it on the first business day after such six-month period. Such amount shall be paid without interest, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Award Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, the Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on the Participant or for the Participant’s account in connection with this Award Agreement (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

(d)    Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
