RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(PERFORMANCE-BASED)

(Under the Perrigo Company 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan)

TO:

RE:	Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (Performance-Based)

This is to notify you that Perrigo Company (the “Company”) has granted you an Award under the Perrigo Company 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of (the “Grant Date”). This Award consists of performance-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 – Performance-Based Vesting

1.1 Grant. As of the Grant Date, the Company grants to you «Target_Number_of_Performance_Based_Restr» restricted stock units (“Performance Restricted Stock Units” or “PRSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The number of Performance Restricted Stock Units awarded in this Section 1.1 is referred to as the “Target Award.” The Target Award may be increased or decreased depending on the level of attainment of Performance Goals for designated Performance Measures as described in Section 1.2. Each Performance Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle you to one share of Common Stock on the PRSU Vesting Date set forth in Section 1.2, provided the applicable Performance Goals for each Performance Measure are satisfied.

1.2 Vesting. The number of Performance Restricted Stock Units awarded in Section 1.1 vesting, if any, shall be determined as of the PRSU Vesting Date. That number will be determined based on the average level of attainment of annual Performance Measure(s) for each fiscal year in the Performance Period, in accordance with the schedule determined by the Committee at the time the Performance Measures and applicable Performance Goals are established by the Committee.

The Committee shall establish annually one or more Performance Measures and the Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Measure that must be attained for Threshold, Target and Maximum performance for a fiscal year. The Performance Measure and Performance Goals for each fiscal year will be provided to you.

Page 1 of 26

Following the end of each fiscal year in the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the percentage of Target Award PRSUs that would be payable for such fiscal year, based on the attainment of the Performance Goals for each Performance Measure(s) established by the Committee for that fiscal year. The percentage of the Target Award that would be payable under the schedule shall be adjusted, pro rata, to reflect attained performance between Threshold and Target, and Target and Maximum.

At the end of the Performance Period, the percentage payout for each fiscal year in the Performance Period will be averaged to determine the actual percentage of Target Award PRSUs that will vest and be payable on the PRSU Vesting Date. In no event will the calculation of a positive payout percentage for any fiscal year be construed to guarantee that any PRSUs will vest on the PRSU Vesting Date. Payout percentages for the individual fiscal years are determined solely for purposes of determining the average annual payout percentage for the three-year Performance Period.

Except as provided in Section 1.4, the PRSUs will be permanently forfeited if your Termination Date occurs prior to the PRSU Vesting Date. If the average annual performance payout for the Performance Period is less than the Threshold performance level established by the Committee, all PRSUs that have not previously been forfeited shall be forfeited as of the PRSU Vesting Date. If the average annual performance payout for the Performance Period exceeds the Maximum performance level established by the Committee, in no event will the number of PRSUs vesting exceed 200% of the Target Award.

1.3 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings under this Section 1.

(a) “Performance Goal” means the level of performance that must be attained with respect to a Performance Measure for a fiscal year for Minimum, Target and Maximum payout.

(b) “Performance Measure” for any fiscal year means one or more financial measures, as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall provide how the Performance Measure will be adjusted, if at all, as a result of extraordinary events or circumstances, as determined by the Committee, or to exclude the effects of extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items; changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; currency fluctuations; discontinued operations; non-cash items, such as amortization, depreciation, or reserves; asset impairment; or any recapitalization, restructuring, reorganization, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets, or other similar corporation transaction.

(c) “Performance Period” means a period of three consecutive fiscal years of the Company, beginning with the first day of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Grant Date occurs and ending on the last day of the third fiscal year in the
3-year period.

(d) “PRSU Vesting Date” means the last day of the Performance Period.

1.4 Special Vesting Rules. Notwithstanding Section 1.2 above, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company while you are employed by or otherwise providing service to the Company, all of the Performance Restricted Stock Units awarded under Section 1.1 that have not previously been forfeited shall become fully vested as if Target performance had been

Page 2 of 26

obtained for the Performance Period effective as of the date of any such event. If your Termination Date occurs because of death, Disability, or Retirement, the Performance Restricted Stock Units shall vest or be forfeited as of the PRSU Vesting Date set forth in Section 1.2, based on the attainment of the performance goals. If your Termination Date occurs because of Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or the Committee, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act), in his or her sole and absolute discretion, may permit all or part of the Performance Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder to remain outstanding and vest or be forfeited as of the date set forth in Section 1.2, depending on the attainment of Performance Goals. To the extent that the Chief Executive Officer (or Committee, if applicable) does not exercise discretionary authority to allow Performance Restricted Stock Units to remain outstanding on the date of your Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons, such Restricted Stock Units shall be permanently forfeited.

1.5 Settlement of Performance Restricted Stock Units. As soon as practicable following the date of the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting following the last day of the Performance Period at which the Committee certifies the average payout for each of the three years in the Performance Period, the Company shall transfer to you one share of Common Stock for each Performance Restricted Stock Unit, if any, that becomes vested pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.4 of this Agreement (the date of any such transfer shall be the “settlement date” for purposes of this Agreement); provided, however, the Company may settle Restricted Stock Units in cash, based on the fair market value of the shares on the settlement date, to the extent necessary to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to Section 2.6. No fractional shares shall be transferred. Any fractional share shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The income attributable to the vesting of PRSUs and the amount of any required tax withholding will be determined based on the value of the shares on the settlement date. Performance Restricted Stock Units are not eligible for dividend equivalents.
