(Under the Perrigo Company plc 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan)
TO:        Participant Name

RE:        Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (Service-Based)
This is to notify you that Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”) has granted you an Award for non-U.S. participants under the Perrigo Company plc 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of Grant Date (the “Grant Date”). This Award consists of service-based restricted stock units. The terms and conditions of this incentive are set forth in the remainder of this agreement (including any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix for your country (“Appendix”)) (collectively, the “Agreement”). The capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Plan.
SECTION 1
Restricted Stock Units – Service-Based Vesting
1.1    Grant. As of the Grant Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company grants you Number of Awards Granted (“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”). Each Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle you to one ordinary share of the Company, nominal value €0.001 per share (“Ordinary Share”) on the applicable RSU Vesting Date, provided the vesting conditions described in Section 1.2 are satisfied.
1.2    Vesting. Except as provided in Section 1.3, the Restricted Stock Units awarded in Section 1.1 shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (“RSU Vesting Date”) provided that you continue in the service of the Company from the Grant Date through the applicable RSU Vesting Date.
Except as provided in Section 1.3, if your Termination Date occurs prior to the RSU Vesting Date, any Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not previously vested as of such Termination Date shall be permanently forfeited on your Termination Date.
1.3    Special Vesting Rules. Notwithstanding Section 1.2 above:
(a)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of death, Disability or Retirement with the Company’s consent, any Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not vested prior to such Termination Date shall become fully vested.
(b)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of an Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons, any Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that would otherwise be scheduled to vest under Section 1.2 in the 24-month period following such

    


Termination Date shall continue to vest during such 24-month period according to the vesting schedule in effect prior to such Termination Date; provided, however, that if your Termination Date occurs for a reason that is both described in this subsection (b) and in subsection (c) below, the special vesting rules described in subsection (c) shall apply in lieu of the vesting rules described in this subsection (b). Any Restricted Stock Units that are not scheduled to vest during such 24-month period will be permanently forfeited on the Termination Date.
(c)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of a Termination without Cause or a Separation for Good Reason on or after a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan and as such definition may be amended hereafter) and prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the Change in Control, all Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not vested or been forfeited prior to such Termination Date shall become fully vested.
(d)    As used in this Section 1.3, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1)    “Separation for Good Reason” means your voluntary resignation (or any legal act having the same consequence, such as amicable termination or constructive dismissal) from the Company on the ground of one or more of the following conditions that arose without your consent: (i) a material change in the geographic location at which you are required to perform services, such that your commute between home and your primary job site increases by more than 30 miles, or (ii) a material diminution in your authority, duties or responsibilities or a material diminution in your base compensation or incentive compensation opportunities; provided, however, that a voluntary resignation from the Company (or any legal act having the same consequence, such as a constructive dismissal) shall not be considered a Separation for Good Reason unless you provide the Company with notice, in writing, of your voluntary resignation and the existence of the condition(s) giving rise to the separation within 90 days of its initial existence. The Company will then have 30 days to remedy the condition, in which case you will not be deemed to have incurred a Separation for Good Reason. In the event the Company fails to cure the condition within the 30 day period, your Termination Date shall occur on the 31st day following the Company’s receipt of such written notice.
(2)    “Termination without Cause” means the involuntary termination of your employment or contractual relationship by the Company without Cause, including, but not limited to, (i) a termination effective when you exhaust an approved leave of absence, and (ii) a situation where you are on an approved leave of absence during which your position is protected under applicable leave law, you return from such leave, and you cannot be placed in employment or other form of contractual relationship with the Company.
1.4    Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as practicable after the RSU Vesting Date, the Company shall transfer to you one Ordinary Share for each Restricted Stock Unit becoming vested on such date (the date of any such transfer shall be the “settlement date” for purposes of this Agreement); provided, however, the Company may withhold shares otherwise transferable to you to the extent necessary to satisfy withholding taxes due by reason of the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, in accordance with Section 2.7. You shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder prior to the

    



date of issuance to you of a certificate or certificates for such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to settle Restricted Stock Units in cash based on the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the RSU Vesting Date.
1.5    Dividend Equivalents. The Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 shall be eligible to receive dividend equivalents in accordance with the following:
(a)    An “Account” will be established in your name. Such Account shall be for recordkeeping purposes only, and no assets or other amounts shall be set aside from the Company’s general assets with respect to such Account.
(b)    On each date that a cash dividend is paid with respect to Ordinary Shares, the Company shall credit your Account with the dollar amount of dividends you would have received if each Restricted Stock Unit held by you on the record date for such dividend payment had been an Ordinary Share. No interest or other earnings shall accrue on such Account.
(c)    As of each RSU Vesting Date, you shall receive a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Units vesting on such date had they been Ordinary Shares during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the RSU Vesting Date, and the Account shall be debited appropriately. If you forfeit Restricted Stock Units, any amounts in the Account attributable to such Restricted Stock Units shall also be forfeited.
(d)    If dividends are paid in the form of Ordinary Shares rather than cash, then you will be credited with one additional Restricted Stock Unit for each Ordinary Share that would have been received as a dividend had your outstanding Restricted Stock Units been Ordinary Shares. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall vest or be forfeited at the same time as the Restricted Stock Unit to which they relate.

SECTION 2
General Terms and Conditions
2.1    Nontransferability. The Award under this Agreement shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

2.3    Cause Termination. If your Termination Date occurs for reasons of Cause, all of your rights under this Agreement, whether or not vested, shall terminate immediately.
2.4    Award Subject to Plan. The granting of the Award under this Agreement is being made pursuant to the Plan and the Award shall be payable only in accordance with the applicable

    



terms of the Plan. The Plan contains certain definitions, restrictions, limitations and other terms and conditions all of which shall be applicable to this Agreement. ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND ARE MADE A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF EACH AND EVERY SUCH PROVISION WERE FULLY WRITTEN INTO THIS AGREEMENT. Should the Plan become void or unenforceable by operation of law or judicial decision, this Agreement shall have no force or effect. Nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended, nor shall any of its provisions be construed, to limit or exclude any definition, restriction, limitation or other term or condition of the Plan as is relevant to this Agreement and as may be specifically applied to it by the Committee. In the event of a conflict in the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, as a rule of construction the terms of the Plan shall be deemed superior and apply.
2.5    Adjustments in Event of Change in Ordinary Shares. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or combination of shares, merger, sale of assets or similar event, the number and kind of shares subject to the Award under this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted in an equitable manner to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to or available for you.
2.6    Acknowledgement. The Company and you agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the Notice of Grant, this Agreement (including the Appendix) and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). You: (i) acknowledge receipt of a copy of each of the foregoing documents, (ii) represent that you have carefully read and are familiar with their provisions, and (iii) hereby accept the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice of Grant.
2.7    Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, the Affiliate employing or retaining you takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Affiliate employing or retaining you. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the RSU Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you (or formerly employing or retaining you, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(a)     Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Affiliate

    



employing or retaining you to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1)    withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you; or
(2)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(3)    withholding in Ordinary Shares to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs.
(b)    To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Ordinary Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(c)    Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Affiliate employing or retaining you any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Affiliate employing or retaining you may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Ordinary Sharse or the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
2.8    Compliance with Applicable Law. The issuance of Ordinary Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and you, including any written representations, warranties and agreements as the Administrator may request of you for compliance with all (i) applicable U.S. state and federal laws and regulations, (ii) applicable laws of the country where you reside pertaining to the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares, and (iii) applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer.
2.9    Code Section 409A (Only Applicable to Individuals Subject to U.S. Federal Tax Laws).
(a)    Restricted Stock Units other than Restricted Stock Units that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons and dividend equivalents payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A under the exemption for short-term deferrals. Accordingly, Restricted Stock Units (other than Restricted Stock Units that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic

    



Reasons) will be settled and dividend equivalents will be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of (i) the end of your taxable year in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs, or (ii) the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs.
(b)    Restricted Stock Units that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons are subject to the provisions of this subsection (b). Any distribution in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will occur provided your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons constitutes a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). If the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A (i.e., an officer with annual compensation above $130,000 (as adjusted for inflation), a five-percent owner of the Company or a one-percent owner with annual compensation in excess of $150,000), distribution in settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units that would be payable within six months of your separation from service shall be delayed to the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your separation from service. Any distribution in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units that would be made more than six months after your separation from service (without application of the six-month delay) shall not be subject to the six-month delay described in this subsection.
2.10    Data Privacy.
(a)    By entering into this Agreement and accepting this Award, you hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Affiliate employing or retaining you, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

(i)    the future value of the underlying Ordinary Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(b)    On each date that a cash dividend is paid with respect to Ordinary Shares, the Company shall credit your Account with the dollar amount of dividends you would have received if each Restricted Stock Unit held by you on the record date for such dividend payment had been an Ordinary Share. No interest or other earnings shall accrue on such Account.
(c)    As of each RSU Vesting Date, you shall receive a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Units vesting on such date had they been Ordinary Shares during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the RSU Vesting Date, and the Account shall be debited appropriately. If you forfeit Restricted Stock Units, any amounts in the Account attributable to such Restricted Stock Units shall also be forfeited.
(d)    If dividends are paid in the form of Ordinary Shares rather than cash, then you will be credited with one additional Restricted Stock Unit for each Ordinary Share that would have been received as a dividend had your outstanding Restricted Stock Units been Ordinary Shares.

2.4    Award Subject to Plan. The granting of the Award under this Agreement is being made pursuant to the Plan and the Award shall be payable only in accordance with the applicable terms of the Plan. The Plan contains certain definitions, restrictions, limitations and other terms and conditions all of which shall be applicable to this Agreement. ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND ARE MADE A

    



PART OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF EACH AND EVERY SUCH PROVISION WERE FULLY WRITTEN INTO THIS AGREEMENT. Should the Plan become void or unenforceable by operation of law or judicial decision, this Agreement shall have no force or effect. Nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended, nor shall any of its provisions be construed, to limit or exclude any definition, restriction, limitation or other term or condition of the Plan as is relevant to this Agreement and as may be specifically applied to it by the Committee. In the event of a conflict in the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, as a rule of construction the terms of the Plan shall be deemed superior and apply.
2.5    Adjustments in Event of Change in Ordinary Shares. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or combination of shares, merger, sale of assets or similar event, the number and kind of shares subject to the Award under this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted in an equitable manner to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to or available for you.
2.6    Acknowledgement. The Company and you agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the Notice of Grant, this Agreement (including the Appendix) and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). You: (i) acknowledge receipt of a copy of each of the foregoing documents, (ii) represent that you have carefully read and are familiar with their provisions, and (iii) hereby accept the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice of Grant.
2.7    Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, the Affiliate employing or retaining you takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Affiliate employing or retaining you. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the RSU Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you (or formerly employing or retaining you, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(a)     Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you, or their respective agents, at their

    



discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1)    withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Affiliate employing or retaining you; or
(2)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(3)    withholding in Ordinary Shares to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs.
(b)    To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Ordinary Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(c)    Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Affiliate employing or retaining you any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Affiliate employing or retaining you may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Ordinary Sharse or the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
2.8    Compliance with Applicable Law. The issuance of Ordinary Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and you, including any written representations, warranties and agreements as the Administrator may request of you for compliance with all (i) applicable U.S. state and federal laws and regulations, (ii) applicable laws of the country where you reside pertaining to the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares, and (iii) applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer.
2.9    Code Section 409A (Only Applicable to Individuals Subject to U.S. Federal Tax Laws).
(a)    Restricted Stock Units other than Restricted Stock Units that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons and dividend equivalents payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A under the exemption for short-term deferrals. Accordingly, Restricted Stock Units (other than Restricted Stock Units that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons) will be settled and dividend equivalents will be paid no later than the 15th day of the

    



third month following the later of (i) the end of your taxable year in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs, or (ii) the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs.
(b)    Restricted Stock Units that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons are subject to the provisions of this subsection (b). Any distribution in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will occur provided your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons constitutes a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). If the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A (i.e., an officer with annual compensation above $130,000 (as adjusted for inflation), a five-percent owner of the Company or a one-percent owner with annual compensation in excess of $150,000), distribution in settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units that would be payable within six months of your separation from service shall be delayed to the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your separation from service. Any distribution in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units that would be made more than six months after your separation from service (without application of the six-month delay) shall not be subject to the six-month delay described in this subsection.
2.10    Data Privacy.
(a)    By entering into this Agreement and accepting this Award, you hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Affiliate employing or retaining you, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

(h)    the grant and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract with the Company or any Affiliate;
(i)    the future value of the underlying Ordinary Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

Please note that reporting requirements are based on what you have previously disclosed and the increase in value of such and the total value of certain groups of foreign assets. Also, the thresholds for annual filing requirements may change each year.

You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), it shall be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or your employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 2.7 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you will not be eligible for a loan from the Company or your employer to cover the income tax liability. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. You will be responsible for reporting any income tax for reimbursing the Company or your employer the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit.

SECTION 1
Restricted Stock Units – Service-Based Vesting
1.1    Grant. As of the Grant Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company grants you «Number_of_restricted_stock units» (“RSUs”). Each RSU entitles you to one ordinary share of the Company, nominal value €0.001 per share (“Ordinary Share”) on the applicable RSU Vesting Date, provided the vesting conditions described in Section 1.2 are satisfied.
1.2    Vesting. Except as provided in Section 1.3, the RSUs awarded in Section 1.1 shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (the “RSU Vesting Date”) provided that you continue in the service of the Company from the Grant Date through the applicable RSU Vesting Date.
Except as provided in Section 1.3, if your Termination Date occurs prior to the RSU Vesting Date, any RSUs awarded under Section 1.1 that have not previously vested as of such Termination Date shall be permanently forfeited on your Termination Date.
1.3    Special Vesting Rules. Notwithstanding Section 1.2 above:
(a)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of death, Disability or Retirement with the Company’s consent, any RSUs awarded under Section 1.1 that have not vested prior to such Termination Date shall become fully vested.
(b)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of an Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons, any RSUs awarded under Section 1.1 that would otherwise be scheduled to vest under Section 1.2 in the 24-month period following such Termination Date shall continue to vest during such 24-month period according to the vesting schedule in effect prior to such

    



Termination Date; provided, however, that if your Termination Date occurs for a reason that is both described in this subsection (b) and in subsection (c) below, the special vesting rules described in subsection (c) shall apply in lieu of the vesting rules described in this subsection (b). Any RSUs that are not scheduled to vest during such 24-month period will be permanently forfeited on the Termination Date.
(c)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of a Termination without Cause or a Separation for Good Reason on or after a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan and as such definition may be amended hereafter) and prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the Change in Control, all RSUs awarded under Section 1.1 that have not vested or been forfeited prior to such Termination Date shall become fully vested.
(d)    As used in this Section 1.3, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1)    “Separation for Good Reason” means your voluntary resignation from the Company and the existence of one or more of the following conditions that arose without your consent: (i) a material change in the geographic location at which you are required to perform services, such that your commute between home and your primary job site increases by more than 30 miles, or (ii) a material diminution in your authority, duties or responsibilities or a material diminution in your base compensation or incentive compensation opportunities; provided, however, that a voluntary resignation from the Company shall not be considered a Separation for Good Reason unless you provide the Company with notice, in writing, of your voluntary resignation and the existence of the condition(s) giving rise to the separation within 90 days of its initial existence. The Company will then have 30 days to remedy the condition, in which case you will not be deemed to have incurred a Separation for Good Reason. In the event the Company fails to cure the condition within the 30 day period, your Termination Date shall occur on the 31st day following the Company’s receipt of such written notice.
(2)     “Termination without Cause” means the involuntary termination of your employment or contractual relationship by the Company without Cause, including, but not limited to, (i) a termination effective when you exhaust a leave of absence during, or at the end of, a notice period under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”), and (ii) a situation where you are on an approved leave of absence during which your position is protected under applicable law (e.g., a leave under the Family Medical Leave Act), you return from such leave, and you cannot be placed in employment or other form of contractual relationship with the Company.
1.4    Settlement of RSUs. As soon as practicable after the RSU Vesting Date, the Company shall transfer to you one Ordinary Share for each RSU becoming vested on such date (the date of any such transfer shall be the “settlement date” for purposes of this Agreement); provided, however, the Company may withhold shares otherwise transferable to you to the extent necessary to satisfy withholding taxes due by reason of the vesting of the RSUs, in accordance with Section 2.6. You shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs awarded hereunder prior to the date of issuance to you of a certificate or certificates for such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

    



the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to settle RSUs in cash based on the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the RSU Vesting Date.
1.5    Dividend Equivalents. The RSUs awarded under Section 1.1 shall be eligible to receive dividend equivalents in accordance with the following:
(a)    An “Account” will be established in your name. Such Account shall be for recordkeeping purposes only, and no assets or other amounts shall be set aside from the Company’s general assets with respect to such Account.
(b)    On each date that a cash dividend is paid with respect to Ordinary Shares, the Company shall credit your Account with the dollar amount of dividends you would have received if each RSU held by you on the record date for such dividend payment had been an Ordinary Share. No interest or other earnings shall accrue on such Account.
(c)    As of each RSU Vesting Date, you shall receive a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the RSUs vesting on such date had they been Ordinary Shares during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the RSU Vesting Date, and the Account shall be debited appropriately. If you forfeit RSUs, any amounts in the Account attributable to such RSUs shall also be forfeited.
(d)    If dividends are paid in the form of Ordinary Shares rather than cash, then you will be credited with one additional RSU for each Ordinary Share that would have been received as a dividend had your outstanding RSUs been Ordinary Shares. Such additional RSUs shall vest or be forfeited at the same time as the RSUs to which they relate.
SECTION 2
General Terms and Conditions
2.1    Nontransferability. The Award under this Agreement shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

2.4    Award Subject to Plan. The granting of the Award under this Agreement is being made pursuant to the Plan and the Award shall be payable only in accordance with the applicable terms of the Plan. The Plan contains certain definitions, restrictions, limitations and other terms and conditions all of which shall be applicable to this Agreement. ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND ARE MADE A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF EACH AND EVERY SUCH PROVISION WERE FULLY WRITTEN INTO THIS AGREEMENT. Should the Plan become

    



void or unenforceable by operation of law or judicial decision, this Agreement shall have no force or effect. Nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended, nor shall any of its provisions be construed, to limit or exclude any definition, restriction, limitation or other term or condition of the Plan as is relevant to this Agreement and as may be specifically applied to it by the Committee. In the event of a conflict in the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, as a rule of construction the terms of the Plan shall be deemed superior and apply.
2.5    Adjustments in Event of Change in Ordinary Shares. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or combination of shares, merger, sale of assets or similar event, the number and kind of shares subject to Award under this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted in an equitable manner to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to or available for you.
2.6    Withholding. This Award is subject to the withholding of all applicable taxes. The Company may withhold, or permit you to remit to the Company, any Federal, state or local taxes applicable to the grant, vesting or other event giving rise to tax liability with respect to this Award. If you have not remitted the full amount of applicable withholding taxes to the Company by the date the Company is required to pay such withholding to the appropriate taxing authority (or such earlier date that the Company may specify to assist it in timely meeting its withholding obligations), the Company shall have the unilateral right to withhold Ordinary Shares relating to this Award in the amount it determines is sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding required by law. State taxes will be withheld at the appropriate rate set by the state in which you are employed or were last employed by the Company. In no event may the number of shares withheld exceed the number necessary to satisfy the maximum Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements. You may elect to surrender previously acquired Ordinary Shares or to have the Company withhold Ordinary Shares relating to this Award in an amount sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of the tax withholding required by law.
2.7    Compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any Ordinary Shares under this Agreement if such issuance would violate any applicable law or any applicable regulation or requirement of any securities exchange or similar entity.
2.8    Code Section 409A.
(a)    RSUs other than RSUs that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons and dividend equivalents payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A under the exemption for short-term deferrals. Accordingly, RSUs (other than RSUs that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons) will be settled and dividend equivalents will be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of (i) the end of your taxable year in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs, or (ii) the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs.
(b)    RSUs that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons are subject to the provisions of this subsection (b). Any distribution in settlement

    



of such RSUs will occur provided your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons constitutes a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). If the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A (i.e., an officer with annual compensation above $130,000 (as adjusted for inflation), a five-percent owner of the Company or a one-percent owner with annual compensation in excess of $150,000), distribution in settlement of any such RSUs that would be payable within six months of your separation from service shall be delayed to the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your separation from service. Any distribution in settlement of such RSUs that would be made more than six months after your separation from service (without application of the six-month delay) shall not be subject to the six-month delay described in this subsection.
2.9    Data Privacy. By entering into this Agreement and accepting this Award, you (a) explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of any of your personal data that is necessary to facilitate the implementation, administration and management of the Award and the Plan, (b) understand that the Company may, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, and details of all awards or entitlements to Shares granted to you under the Plan or otherwise (“Data”), (c) understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any broker with whom the Shares issued upon vesting of the Award may be deposited, and that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country, (d) waive any data privacy rights you may have with respect to the data, and (e) authorize the Company, its subsidiaries and its agents, to store and transmit such information in electronic form.
2.10    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon any or all successors and assigns of the Company.
2.11    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Michigan without regard to principals of conflict of laws. Any proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted or continued in the Circuit Court in Kent County, Michigan located in Grand Rapids, Michigan or in the United Stated District Court for the Western District of Michigan, and in any appellate court thereof.
2.12    Forfeiture of RSUs. If the Company, as a result of misconduct, is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then (a) if your incentive or equity-based compensation is subject to automatic forfeiture due to such misconduct and restatement under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or (b) the Committee determines you either knowingly engaged in or failed to prevent the misconduct, or your actions or inactions with respect to the misconduct and restatement constituted gross negligence, you shall (i) be required to reimburse the Company the amount of any payment (including dividend equivalents) relating to any RSUs earned or accrued during the twelve

    



month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) all outstanding RSUs (including related dividend equivalents) that have not yet been settled shall be immediately forfeited.

2.7    Compliance with Applicable Law.

(a)    RSUs other than RSUs that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons and dividend equivalents payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A under the exemption for short-term deferrals. Accordingly, RSUs (other than RSUs that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons) will be settled and dividend equivalents will be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of (i) the end of your taxable year in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs, or (ii) the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs.
(b)    RSUs that continue to vest by reason of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons are subject to the provisions of this subsection (b). Any distribution in settlement

    



of such RSUs will occur provided your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons constitutes a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). If the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A (i.e., an officer with annual compensation above $130,000 (as adjusted for inflation), a five-percent owner of the Company or a one-percent owner with annual compensation in excess of $150,000), distribution in settlement of any such RSUs that would be payable within six months of your separation from service shall be delayed to the first business day following the six-month anniversary of your separation from service. Any distribution in settlement of such RSUs that would be made more than six months after your separation from service (without application of the six-month delay) shall not be subject to the six-month delay described in this subsection.
2.9    Data Privacy. By entering into this Agreement and accepting this Award, you (a) explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of any of your personal data that is necessary to facilitate the implementation, administration and management of the Award and the Plan, (b) understand that the Company may, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, and details of all awards or entitlements to Shares granted to you under the Plan or otherwise (“Data”), (c) understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any broker with whom the Shares issued upon vesting of the Award may be deposited, and that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country, (d) waive any data privacy rights you may have with respect to the data, and (e) authorize the Company, its subsidiaries and its agents, to store and transmit such information in electronic form.
2.10    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon any or all successors and assigns of the Company.
2.11    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Michigan without regard to principals of conflict of laws.

2.12    Forfeiture of RSUs. If the Company, as a result of misconduct, is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then (a) if your incentive or equity-based compensation is subject to automatic forfeiture due to such misconduct and restatement under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or (b) the Committee determines you either knowingly engaged in or failed to prevent the misconduct, or your actions or inactions with respect to the misconduct and restatement constituted gross negligence, you shall (i) be required to reimburse the Company the amount of any payment (including dividend equivalents) relating to any RSUs earned or accrued during the twelve

    



month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) all outstanding RSUs (including related dividend equivalents) that have not yet been settled shall be immediately forfeited. In addition, Ordinary Shares acquired under this Agreement, and any gains or profits on the sale of such Ordinary Shares, shall be subject to any “clawback” or recoupment policy later adopted by the Company.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(SERVICE-BASED)
(Under the Perrigo Company plc 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan)
TO:        Participant Name
RE:        Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (Service-Based)
This is to notify you that Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”) has granted you an Award under the Perrigo Company plc 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of Grant Date (the “Grant Date”). This Award consists of service-based restricted stock units. The terms and conditions of this incentive are set forth in the remainder of this agreement (the “Agreement”). The capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Plan.
SECTION 1
Restricted Stock Units – Service-Based Vesting
1.1    Grant. As of the Grant Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company grants you Number of Awards Granted (“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”). Each Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle you to one ordinary share of the Company, nominal value €0.001 per share (“Ordinary Share”) on the applicable RSU Vesting Date, provided the vesting conditions described in Section 1.2 are satisfied.
1.2    Vesting. Except as provided in Section 1.3, the Restricted Stock Units awarded in Section 1.1 shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (“RSU Vesting Date”) provided that you continue in the service of the Company from the Grant Date through the applicable RSU Vesting Date.
Except as provided in Section 1.3, if your Termination Date occurs prior to the RSU Vesting Date, any Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not previously vested as of such Termination Date shall be permanently forfeited on your Termination Date.
1.3    Special Vesting Rules. Notwithstanding Section 1.2 above:
(a)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of death, Disability or Retirement with the Company’s consent, any Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not vested prior to such Termination Date shall become fully vested.
(b)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of an Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons, any Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that would otherwise be scheduled to vest under Section 1.2 in the 24-month period following such Termination Date shall continue to vest during such 24-month period according to the vesting

    



schedule in effect prior to such Termination Date; provided, however, that if your Termination Date occurs for a reason that is both described in this subsection (b) and in subsection (c) below, the special vesting rules described in subsection (c) shall apply in lieu of the vesting rules described in this subsection (b). Any Restricted Stock Units that are not scheduled to vest during such 24-month period will be permanently forfeited on the Termination Date.
(c)    If your Termination Date occurs by reason of a Termination without Cause or a Separation for Good Reason on or after a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan and as such definition may be amended hereafter) and prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the Change in Control, all Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not vested or been forfeited prior to such Termination Date shall become fully vested.
(d)    As used in this Section 1.3, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1)    “Separation for Good Reason” means your voluntary resignation from the Company and the existence of one or more of the following conditions that arose without your consent: (i) a material change in the geographic location at which you are required to perform services, such that your commute between home and your primary job site increases by more than 30 miles, or (ii) a material diminution in your authority, duties or responsibilities or a material diminution in your base compensation or incentive compensation opportunities; provided, however, that a voluntary resignation from the Company shall not be considered a Separation for Good Reason unless you provide the Company with notice, in writing, of your voluntary resignation and the existence of the condition(s) giving rise to the separation within 90 days of its initial existence. The Company will then have 30 days to remedy the condition, in which case you will not be deemed to have incurred a Separation for Good Reason. In the event the Company fails to cure the condition within the 30 day period, your Termination Date shall occur on the 31st day following the Company’s receipt of such written notice.
(2)    “Termination without Cause” means the involuntary termination of your employment or contractual relationship by the Company without Cause, including, but not limited to, (i) a termination effective when you exhaust a leave of absence during, or at the end of, a notice period under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”), and (ii) a situation where you are on an approved leave of absence during which your position is protected under applicable law (e.g., a leave under the Family Medical Leave Act), you return from such leave, and you cannot be placed in employment or other form of contractual relationship with the Company.
1.4    Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as practicable after the RSU Vesting Date, the Company shall transfer to you one Ordinary Share for each Restricted Stock Unit becoming vested on such date (the date of any such transfer shall be the “settlement date” for purposes of this Agreement); provided, however, the Company may withhold shares otherwise transferable to you to the extent necessary to satisfy withholding taxes due by reason of the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, in accordance with Section 2.6. You shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder prior to the date of issuance to you of a certificate or certificates for such shares. Notwithstanding the

    



foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to settle Restricted Stock Units in cash based on the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the RSU Vesting Date.
1.5    Dividend Equivalents. The Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 shall be eligible to receive dividend equivalents in accordance with the following:
(a)    An “Account” will be established in your name. Such Account shall be for recordkeeping purposes only, and no assets or other amounts shall be set aside from the Company’s general assets with respect to such Account.
(b)    On each date that a cash dividend is paid with respect to Ordinary Shares, the Company shall credit your Account with the dollar amount of dividends you would have received if each Restricted Stock Unit held by you on the record date for such dividend payment had been an Ordinary Share. No interest or other earnings shall accrue on such Account.
(c)    As of each RSU Vesting Date, you shall receive a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Units vesting on such date had they been Ordinary Shares during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the RSU Vesting Date, and the Account shall be debited appropriately. If you forfeit Restricted Stock Units, any amounts in the Account attributable to such Restricted Stock Units shall also be forfeited.
(d)    If dividends are paid in the form of Ordinary Shares rather than cash, then you will be credited with one additional Restricted Stock Unit for each Ordinary Share that would have been received as a dividend had your outstanding Restricted Stock Units been Ordinary Shares. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall vest or be forfeited at the same time as the Restricted Stock Unit to which they relate.
