Yes, exhaustion would be a -5 to Passive Perception.

You have disadvantage on ability check (which includes Perception).

The PHB states:

Here's how to determine a character's total for a passive check:

10 + all modifiers that normally apply to the check

If the character has advantage on the check, add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5.
