Notice is hereby given that, by action of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Mylan Inc.

The Award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth below and in the Plan, which is a part of this Notice of Restricted Share Award (this “Notice”). To the extent that there is a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern, except as specifically set forth herein. Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.
1.    Target Number of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): [ ________ ] where 1 RSU is equal to the right to receive [ __ ] Share[s] ("Target RSUs").

2.    Vesting and Forfeiture: The Award shall represent the right to receive, as soon as practicable following the [ __ ] anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Vesting Date"), a number of Shares equal to a multiple of the Target RSUs (as set forth above), as determined in accordance with Exhibit A. [[ ________ (__%) ] of the Award shall be eligible to be earned based on [ _______ ] (the "[ _____ ] Stock Award") and __% of the Award shall be eligible to be earned based on [ _______ ] (the "[ _____ ] Stock Award"), in each case, as described on Exhibit A and, except as provided in Section 7.03 of the Plan or otherwise provided herein, provided that the Participant is employed by the Company through the Vesting Date.] Any portion of the Award that could have been earned in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A that is not earned as of the Vesting Date shall be immediately forfeited on the Vesting Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Shares shall vest and be awarded in full at target performance levels to the Participant prior to the Third Anniversary upon (i) a Change of Control, to the extent provided below; (ii) the Participant’s death, Retirement or Permanent Disability; (iii) a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in the [Participant’s Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement")]) or (iv) a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant with Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

3.    Issuance of Shares: Within two (2) business days following the vesting of the Award or portion of such Award, the Company shall issue to the Participant Shares in respect of such vested Award in accordance with the Plan (if applicable, net of any Shares withheld by the Company to satisfy tax obligations as permitted by Section 11.05 of the Plan).






4.    Change in Control: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in this Notice, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), any unvested Awards granted pursuant to this Agreement shall vest as follows:

a)    With respect to each unvested Award that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, in the event of a termination of the Participant’s employment or service during the 24-month period following such Change in Control (i) without Cause or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason, such Award shall become fully vested and exercisable as of such termination of employment and any performance conditions imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels.

b)    For purposes of this Section 4, an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Award remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control (including vesting conditions) except as set forth in this Section 4 and except that the Award instead confers the right to receive publicly traded equity securities of the acquiring entity or the ultimate parent company which results from the Change in Control.

c)    With respect to each unvested Award that is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Award shall become fully vested and exercisable and any performance conditions imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels.

d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee of the Mylan Inc. Board of Directors (the “Committee”) may, in its discretion, except as would otherwise result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), provide that each Award shall, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash or securities in an amount equal to (i) the excess of the consideration paid per Share in the Change in Control over the purchase price (if any) per Share subject to the Award multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares then outstanding under the Award.

e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Award that constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred under the Plan with respect to such Award only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have occurred under Section 409A of the Code.
