NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS
(Under the Perrigo Company plc 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan)
TO:        Participant Name
RE:        Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option
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 a nonqualified stock option. 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
Nonqualified Stock Option
1.1    Grant of Option.  As of the Grant Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company grants you a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase Number of Awards Granted ordinary shares of the Company, nominal value €0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), at a per share price of $Grant Date FMV (the “Option Price”), which is equal to the Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares as of the Grant Date.
1.2    Timing and Duration of Exercise.
(a)    The Option shall vest with respect to one-third of the Shares awarded in Section 1.1 on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), with the vesting of any fractional shares frontloaded to the first such Vesting Date.  Subject to the requirements of subsection (b) below, vested Shares may be exercised after the applicable Vesting Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Option that has not vested or been forfeited previously shall immediately vest in full upon, and, subject to subsection (b) below, may be exercised in whole or in part after (1) your Termination Date 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, or (2) your death, Disability, or Retirement. 
(b)    Except as provided below, the vested Option must be exercised by you, if at all, while you are providing service to the Company or one of its Affiliates or within three months following your Termination Date, but in no event after Expiration Date (the “Expiration 


 





Date”).  If your Termination Date occurs by reason of your Retirement, death or Disability, the Option may thereafter be exercised by you, or in the event of your death, by your estate or your designated beneficiary, or in the event of your Disability, by you or your legal representative, at any time prior to the Expiration Date.  If you die after your Termination Date and during the period in which the Option is exercisable, the right to exercise the Option during such period will be governed by Plan Section 12(d)(4).  If your Termination Date occurs because of an Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons as determined by the Chief Executive Officer (or the Committee in the case of an Employee subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act), the terms of Plan Section 12(b)(2) shall apply; provided, however, that if your Termination Date occurs for a reason that is both described in this sentence and in subsection (a) above, the special vesting rules described in subsection (a) shall apply in lieu of the vesting rules described in Plan Section 12(b)(2).  
Any portion of the Option that is not vested pursuant to this Section 1.2 as of your employment Termination Date will be forfeited immediately.  If the Option is not exercised as to all of the vested shares covered by the Option within the applicable time period and in the manner provided herein, the Option will terminate and will not be exercisable thereafter.  In no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date.
(c)    As used in this Section 1.2, 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.  
1.3    Method of Exercise.  The vested Option, or any part of it, shall be exercised by written notice directed to the President, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company at 


 





the Company’s principal office in Allegan, Michigan, U.S.A., or by using other notification permitted by the Company.  Such notice must satisfy the following requirements:
(a)    The notice must state the Grant Date, the number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Option, the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which Option is being exercised, the person in whose name the stock certificate or certificates for such Ordinary Shares is to be registered and the person’s address and Social Security number (or if more than one person, the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of such persons).
(b)    The notice shall be accompanied by check, bank draft, money order or other cash payment, all in U.S. dollars, or by delivery of a certificate or certificates, properly endorsed, for Ordinary Shares that you have held for at least six months and that are equivalent in Fair Market Value on the date of exercise to the Option Price (or any combination of cash and shares), in full payment of the Option Price for the number of shares specified in the notice.
(c)    The notice must be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option and, if the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than you, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to the Committee, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
(d)    The Company may implement procedures for the electronic exercise of this Option, in which case the vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such procedures.
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.  During your lifetime, the Option granted under this Agreement shall be exercisable only by you or by your guardian or legal representative in the event of your Disability.

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    Awards Subject to Plan.  The granting of the Award under this Agreement is being made pursuant to the Plan and the Award shall be exercisable 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, and the exercise price thereof, 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 Option is 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 Option 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 Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise 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 Option 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 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 exercise of the Option 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 exercise of the Option.  
(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 exercised Option, 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 Shares 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    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 Option 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.

RE:        Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option
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 a nonqualified stock option. 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
Nonqualified Stock Option
1.1    Grant of Option.  As of the Grant Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company grants you a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase Number of Awards Granted ordinary shares of the Company, nominal value €0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), at a per share price of $Grant Date FMV (the “Option Price”), which is equal to the Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares as of the Grant Date.
1.2    Timing and Duration of Exercise.
(a)    The Option shall vest with respect to one-third of the Shares awarded in Section 1.1 on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), with the vesting of any fractional shares frontloaded to the first such Vesting Date.  Subject to the requirements of subsection (b) below, vested Shares may be exercised after the applicable Vesting Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Option that has not vested or been forfeited previously shall immediately vest in full upon, and, subject to subsection (b) below, may be exercised in whole or in part after (1) your Termination Date 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, or (2) your death, Disability, or Retirement. 
(b)    Except as provided below, the vested Option must be exercised by you, if at all, while you are providing service to the Company or one of its Affiliates or within three 


 





months following your Termination Date, but in no event after Expiration Date (the “Expiration Date”).  If your Termination Date occurs by reason of your Retirement, death or Disability, the Option may thereafter be exercised by you, or in the event of your death, by your estate or your designated beneficiary, or in the event of your Disability, by you or your legal representative, at any time prior to the Expiration Date.  If you die after your Termination Date and during the period in which the Option is exercisable, the right to exercise the Option during such period will be governed by Plan Section 12(d)(4).  If your Termination Date occurs because of an Involuntary Termination for Economic Reasons as determined by the Chief Executive Officer (or the Committee in the case of an Employee subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act), the terms of Plan Section 12(b)(2) shall apply; provided, however, that if your Termination Date occurs for a reason that is both described in this sentence and in subsection (a) above, the special vesting rules described in subsection (a) shall apply in lieu of the vesting rules described in Plan Section 12(b)(2).  
Any portion of the Option that is not vested pursuant to this Section 1.2 as of your employment Termination Date will be forfeited immediately.  If the Option is not exercised as to all of the vested shares covered by the Option within the applicable time period and in the manner provided herein, the Option will terminate and will not be exercisable thereafter.  In no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date.
(c)    As used in this Section 1.2, 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 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.  
1.3    Method of Exercise.  The vested Option, or any part of it, shall be exercised by written notice directed to the President, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company at 


 





the Company’s principal office in Allegan, Michigan, U.S.A., or by using other notification permitted by the Company.  Such notice must satisfy the following requirements:

(c)    The notice must be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option and, if the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than you, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to the Committee, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
(d)    The Company may implement procedures for the electronic exercise of this Option, in which case the vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such procedures.
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.  During your lifetime, the Option granted under this Agreement shall be exercisable only by you or by your guardian or legal representative in the event of your Disability.

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, and the exercise price thereof, 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 Option is 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 Option 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 Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise 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 Option 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 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 exercise of the Option 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 exercise of the Option.  
(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 exercised Option, 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 Shares 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    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 Option 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.
(b)    You understand that the Company and the Affiliate employing or retaining you may 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, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of Option or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).  
(c)    You understand that Data will be transferred to legal counsel or a broker or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

(c)    As used in this Section 1.2, 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.  
1.3    Method of Exercise.  The vested Option, or any part of it, shall be exercised by written notice directed to the President, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office in Allegan, Michigan, or by using other notification permitted by the Company.  Such notice must satisfy the following requirements:
(a)    The notice must state the Grant Date, the number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Option, the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which Option is being exercised, the person in whose name the stock certificate or certificates for such Ordinary Shares is to be registered and the person’s address and Social Security number (or if more than one person, the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of such persons).
(b)    The notice shall be accompanied by check, bank draft, money order or other cash payment, or by delivery of a certificate or certificates, properly endorsed, for Ordinary Shares that you have held for at least six months and that are equivalent in Fair Market Value on the date of exercise to the Option Price (or any combination of cash and shares), in full payment of the Option Price for the number of shares specified in the notice.
(c)    The notice must be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option and, if the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than you, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to the Committee, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
(d)    The Company may implement procedures for the electronic exercise of this Option, in which case the vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such procedures.
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.  During your lifetime, the Option granted under this Agreement shall be exercisable only by you or by your guardian or legal representative in the event of your Disability.
2.2    No Rights as a Stockholder.  You shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Ordinary Shares subject to the Option prior to the date of issuance to you of a certificate or certificates for such shares.
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    Awards Subject to Plan.  The granting of the Award under this Agreement is being made pursuant to the Plan and the Award shall be exercisable 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, and the exercise price thereof, 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    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 or exercise 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.
2.9    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon any or all successors and assigns of the Company.
2.10    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.
2.11    Repayment of Option Gain/Forfeiture of Options.  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 equity 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 for any gain associated with any Option exercised 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) any outstanding Options shall be immediately forfeited.
