	RE:	Notice of Nonqualified Stock Option 

 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 a nonqualified stock option. 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 
 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                      shares of the Company’s
common stock, without par value (“Common Stock”), at a per share price of $             (the “Option Price”), which is equal to the Fair Market Value of such
Common Stock 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) the
occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs while you are employed by or otherwise providing service to the Company or one of its subsidiaries, 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
subsidiaries or within three months following your Termination Date, but in no event after                      (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 11(d). If your Termination Date occurs because of Involuntarily 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 11(b) shall apply.

 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. 
 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 shares of Common
Stock subject to the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Option is being exercised, the person in whose name the stock certificate or certificates for such shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common
Stock 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.

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

 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 Common Stock relating to this Award in the amount it determines is sufficient to satisfy the minimum 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. You may elect to surrender previously acquired Common Stock or to have the Company withhold Common Stock relating to this award in
an amount sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of the minimum tax withholding required by law.

 SECTION 2 
 Section 102 Plan and Trust 
 The Company has established a Plan and Trust (the “Section 102 Program”) that is intended to provide the Employee with the ability to obtain certain tax treatment under Section 102 of the Israeli
Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 as amended from time to time and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder (“Section 102”) with respect to the Option awarded under this Agreement. The Option is intended to qualify as an
Approved 102 Award designated as a Capital Gain Award within the meaning of the Section 102 Program. The following additional rules shall apply to the Option: 
 (a) The shares underlying the Option grant have been deposited in a Trust. Tamir Fishman 2004 Ltd., or its duly appointed successor, shall be the Trustee of the Trust. All fees and commissions relating to the sale,
transfer or release of shares from the Trust shall be paid by the Employee. 
 (b) To obtain Section 102 tax treatment, the
Employee shall not sell or release from the Trust any shares subject to the Option until the lapse of the minimum required holding period under Section 102 (“Holding Period”). If any such sale or release occurs during the
Holding Period, the sanctions under Section 102 and under any rules or regulation or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder shall apply to and shall be borne by such Employee.  
 (c) Prior to any distribution or release of shares from the Trust, the Employee shall be required to remit to the Trustee funds sufficient to cover
applicable withholding taxes, plus any commissions and fees relating to the sale or release of shares. Alternatively, the Employee may request that the Trustee sell sufficient shares to cover applicable withholding taxes, plus any commissions and
fees relating to the sale or release. The Employee may request that shares in excess of any shares sold to cover withholding taxes, fees and commissions be transferred to the Employee, or the Employee may advise the Trustee to sell such shares and
transfer the net proceeds to the Employee. 
 (d) The Employee may exercise any vested portion of the Option prior to the end of the Holding
Period, provided, however, if such exercise causes any shares to be distributed or released from the Trust the sanctions under Section 102 shall apply and shall be borne by the Employee, as described in this Section 4. 
  

 Page 8 of 12 








 (e) By execution of this Agreement, the Employee hereby acknowledges that the Employee is familiar with
the provisions of Section 102 and the regulations and rules promulgated thereunder, including without limitation the type of Approved 102 Awards granted to the Employee and the tax implications applicable to such awards. The Employee accepts
the provisions of the Trust agreement signed between the Company and Trustee, and agrees to be bound by its terms.

under this Agreement, whether or not vested, shall terminate immediately.

under this Agreement is being made pursuant to the Plan including the Section 102 Program 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

 3.5 Adjustments in Event of Change in Common Stock. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend,

enlargement of the rights granted to or available for you.

Award or from any other event or act of the Company, and/or its Affiliates (as defined under the Section 102 Program), and/or the Trustee or the Employee hereunder shall be borne solely by the Employee. The Company and/or its Affiliates, and/or
