Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

Non-Qualified UK Stock Option Award Agreement – UK Participant

1. Grant of Option.
This UK Stock Option Award Agreement  evidences the grant by Emergent
BioSolutions Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to a UK employee of
the Company (the “Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part,
on the terms provided herein and in the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), that number of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, with a $0.001 par
value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth under the summary of 
the grant in your account in the Company’s third-party electronic stock
administrative platform (the “Grant Summary”) at the Grant Price identified on
the Grant Summary.  Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at 5:00
p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date identified on the Grant Summary.
This option shall not be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder (the “Code”).  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term
“Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who
acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.
The grant of options under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and
the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.
The Company does not give any advice or any guarantee as to how the grant,
vesting or exercise of the option will be taxed and the Participant should
consult an independent financial adviser in that respect.
2.  Vesting Schedule.
This non-qualified stock option shall vest in the aggregate in three equal
annual installments on the day immediately prior to each anniversary of the
grant date.  Specifically, this option shall vest in accordance with the future
vesting schedule indicated on the detailed view of the option as viewed under
your account in the Company’s third-party electronic stock administrative
platform.
The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is
not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue
to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it
is vested until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the termination of this
option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.
3.  Form of Exercise.
Each election to exercise this option shall be in accordance with the Company’s
policies and procedures.
The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby,
provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional
share.
(a)  Continuous Relationship with the Company Required.  Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the
Participant, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and has been at
all times since the grant date, an employee or director of, the Company or any
other entity the employees or, directors, of which are eligible to receive
option grants under the Plan (an “Eligible Participant”).
(b)  Termination of Relationship with the Company.  If the Participant ceases to
be an Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in
paragraphs (c) and (d) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate
90 days after such cessation (but in no event after the Expiration Date),
provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the
Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Expiration Date,
violates the non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment
contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between
the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise this option shall
terminate immediately upon such violation.
(c) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability.  If the Participant dies or
becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to
the Expiration Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company
has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (d)
below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following
the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in
the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall
be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the
Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided
that this option shall not be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
(d)   Termination for Cause.  If, prior to the Expiration Date, the
Participant’s employment or other relationship with the Company is terminated by
the Company for Cause (as defined in the Plan), the right to exercise this
option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination
of employment or other relationship.
4.  UK Tax Obligations
(a) Tax Indemnity. The Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified his
employing company (the “Employer”) and the Company from and against any
liability for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (a “Tax Liability” being
any liability for income tax, employee’s National Insurance contributions and
(at the discretion of the Company and where lawful) employer’s National
Insurance Contributions (or other similar obligations to pay tax and social
security wherever in the world arising) that is attributable to: (1) the grant
or any benefit derived by Participant from, the grant, vesting or exercise of
the option or the Shares which are the subject of the option; (2) the transfer
or issue of Shares to Participant on exercise of the option; (3) any
restrictions applicable to the Shares held by the Participant ceasing to apply
to those shares; or (4) the disposal of any Shares.
(b) Tax Liability. The Company will not issue any Shares on exercise of this
option until the Participant has made such arrangements as the Company may
require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection
with exercise of this option  and/or the acquisition of the Shares by the
Participant. The Company shall not be required to issue, allot or transfer
Shares until Participant has  satisfied this obligation.
(c) Election. The Participant undertakes that upon request by the Company,
he/she will (on or within 14 days acquiring the Shares) join with his Employer
in electing, pursuant to Section 431(1) of the Income Tax (Earnings and
Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”) that, for relevant tax purposes, the market value
of the Shares acquired on exercise of the option on any occasion will be
calculated as if the Shares were not restricted and Sections 425 to 430
(inclusive) of ITEPA are not to apply to such Shares.
(d) The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to  treat the
Participant’s failure to provide timely payment in accordance with the Plan of
any withholding tax arising in connection with the option as the Participant’s
election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the
Company repurchase Shares otherwise issuable under the option on exercise
limited to the number of Shares which have  an aggregate fair market value on
the date of repurchase necessary to pay the aggregate  amount of Tax Liability.
(e) The Participant acknowledges that the Participant is ultimately liable and
responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the option, regardless of any
action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that
arise in connection with the option. The Company does not make any
representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in
connection with the vesting or exercise of the option or the subsequent sale of
Shares. The Company does  not commit and is under no obligation to structure the
option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s Tax Liability.
5.  Nontransferability of Option.
This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the
Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant; provided, however,
that the gratuitous transfer of this option by the Participant to or for the
benefit of any immediate family member, domestic partner, family trust or other
entity established for the benefit of the Participant and/or an immediate family
member thereof if, with respect to such proposed transferee, the Company would
be eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the registration of
the sale of the Common Stock subject to such option under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to
recognize any such transfer until such time as the Participant and such
authorized transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the
Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company
confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of the option; and, provided, further, that no option intended to be
an incentive stock option shall be transferable unless the Board of Directors
shall otherwise permit.
