Summary of Key Terms (Excerpted from Participant
Information

Statement) for


Director Deferred Stock Awards


1.                                       Crediting of Deferred Stock.  All
Deferred Stock will be credited to your account under the Company’s
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors, as amended (the
“Deferred Compensation Plan”) and will be considered “Deferred Stock” for all
purposes under the Deferred Compensation Plan.


2.                                       Crediting of Dividend Equivalents.  Each
calendar quarter, the Company will credit to your account an additional number
of shares of Deferred Stock.  The number
of shares to be credited is determined by dividing the dividends paid in
respect of the number of shares Deferred Stock held in your account on the
relevant dividend record date by the fair market value of the Company’s common
stock on the last business day of the previous calendar quarter.


3.                                       Adjustments. The value and attributes of each share of Deferred Stock held in your
account will be appropriately adjusted consistent with any change in the
Company’s common stock, including a change resulting from a stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, or
combination or exchange of shares.


4.                                       Payment Upon Termination. 
Distribution of your Deferred Stock will occur only upon your
termination of service as a director.  In
the event of a termination, your Deferred Stock will be distributed as shares
of stock (plus cash for any partial shares credited to your account) in
accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan.  The number of shares of Deferred Stock that
you are entitled to receive will be determined on your termination date.


5.                                       Incorporation of Plans.  This
Award is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the West
Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and the
Deferred Compensation Plan, each of which is incorporated herein by reference,
and in the event of any contradiction, distinction or differences between this
summary and the terms of the plan documents, the plan documents will control.
