Exhibit 10.6    
    

ABBOTT LABORATORIES

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT  

        This Agreement made «DateAwded» (the "Grant Date"), between Abbott Laboratories, an Illinois corporation (the "Company"), and
«FirstMILast» (the "Employee"), for the grant by the Company to the Employee of a Restricted Stock Unit Award under the Company's 1996 Incentive Stock Program. 

        1.    Grant of Shares.    Pursuant to action of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company,
and in consideration of valuable services heretofore rendered and to be rendered by the Employee to the Company and of the agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company has granted to the Employee the
right to receive «NoShares» («NoShares12345») common shares of the Company (the "Restricted Stock Units" used herein "Units") on the Delivery Date. The
"Delivery Date" of the shares shall be the date on which the Restriction (as defined in Section 2 below) on such Units lapse. Unless indicated otherwise, the shares of stock shall be delivered
in an equal number of shares (subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date, if there is more than one Delivery Date applicable. The shares shall be issued from the Company's available treasury
shares. Prior to the Delivery Date(s), (a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those shares, and shall only have a contractual right to receive them, unsecured by any
assets of the Company or the subsidiaries; (b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Restricted Stock Units; and (c) the Employee's right to receive such shares will be subject
to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations, and similar events set forth in the Plan. The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all of the restrictions hereinafter set
forth. The Employee shall be permitted to receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on shares of stock (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company
which may be issued with respect to its shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent as if each Unit was a share of stock, and those shares
were not subject to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement and the Plan; provided, however, that no dividends or distributions shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect
to record dates for such dividends or distributions occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Employee has forfeited the Restricted Stock Units. 

        2.    Restriction.    Until the restriction imposed by this Section 2 (the "Restriction") has lapsed pursuant
to Section 3 or 4 below, the Units shall not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, and shall be subject to forfeiture as set forth in Section 5
below. 

        3.    Lapse of Restriction by Passage of Time.    The restrictions
on                        shall lapse and have no further
force on                        . 

        4.    Lapse of Restriction by Death or Disability or Age.    The Restriction shall lapse and have no further force or
effect upon the Employee's death, disability, attainment of age 65 or involuntary discharge other than "for cause". For purposes of this Agreement, the term "disability" shall mean the Employee's
disability as defined in subsection 4.1(a) of the Abbott Laboratories Extended Disability Plan for twelve consecutive months. Once the Employee has been disabled as defined in this Section for twelve
consecutive months, the disability shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day of such twelve month period. The term discharge "for cause" shall have the meaning given that term by
Section 9. 

        5.    Forfeiture of Units.    In the event of termination of the Employee's employment with the Company due to the
Employee's voluntary resignation (including retirement under a Company pension plan) or involuntary discharge for cause, prior to lapse of the Restriction under Section 3 or 4, all of the Units
shall be forfeited as of the date of termination, without consideration to the Employee or his executor, administrator, personal representative or heirs ("Representative"). 

        6.    Withholding Taxes.    The lapse of the Restriction on the Units pursuant to Section 3 or 4 above or the
delivery of the shares shall be conditioned on the Employee or the Representative having made appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide for the withholding of any taxes as may be required
to be withheld by federal, state or local law with respect to such lapse or delivery. 

        7.    Rights Not Enlarged.    Nothing herein confers on the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or of any of its subsidiaries. 

        8.    Succession.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns, and the Employee and his Representative. 

        9.    Discharge for Cause.    The term discharge "for cause" shall mean termination by the Company of the Employee's
employment for (A) the Employee's failure to substantially perform the duties of his employment (other than any such 

1

 

failure
resulting from the Employee's disability); (B) material breach by the Employee of the terms and conditions of his employment; (C) material breach by the Employee of business
ethics; (D) an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft committed by the Employee in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment; or (E) wrongful disclosure by the Employee
of secret processes or confidential information of the Company or its subsidiaries. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement, as of the date first above written.
