    CONSULTING
SERVICES AGREEMENT

    

    This
Consulting Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective the 1st day
of April 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Emergent BioSolutions Inc.
(“Emergent”), a Delaware corporation, with offices at 2273 Research
Boulevard, Suite 400, Rockville, Maryland 20850, and The Hauer Group
(“Consultant”), located at 7850 Southdown Road, Alexandria, VA 22308,
Emergent and Consultant are sometimes hereinafter referred to in the singular as
“Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

    

    WHEREAS, Emergent and its Affiliates
(as hereinafter defined) are engaged in the development, production, and
commercialization of biopharmaceutical products;

    

    WHEREAS, Consultant is engaged in
providing consulting services as described in this Agreement; and

    

    WHEREAS, Emergent and, as applicable, its Affiliates (as
hereinafter defined) desires to engage Consultant to provide certain
services from time to time as mutually agreed by the Parties, and Consultant
desires to be so engaged.

    

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be bound, agree as follows:

    

    1.           Services.  Consultant agrees to
provide certain services from time to time as requested by Emergent or any of
Emergent’s Affiliates as specified in Exhibit A attached
hereto (the “Services”).  In the event that Consultant is requested or
required to perform work for the Services beyond that which is specifically set
forth in Exhibit
A, any such additional services and an appropriate adjustment to the
amounts owed shall be negotiated in good faith and the Parties shall amend this
Agreement to reflect such additional services and any additional or modified
terms in respect thereof prior to the provision of such new
services.

     
 

    2.           Payment for
Services.  Emergent shall compensate Consultant for Services in
accordance with the payment terms set forth in Exhibit A, and all
invoices for payment shall be submitted to Emergent as detailed
therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any invoice to be
processed and paid, such invoice must refer to the applicable Emergent
Accounting Code designated in Exhibit
A.  If Consultant bills on an hourly basis, all invoices must
be accompanied by a timesheet detailing the hours worked and signed by both
Consultant and Emergent.  Payment of Consultant’s invoices shall be in
full compensation for the Services performed by Consultant unless expressly
agreed otherwise in writing by the Parties.  Invoices shall be payable
within thirty (30) days of receipt by Emergent.  Representatives of
Consultant performing Services hereunder will not receive employee benefits from
Emergent, including but not limited to paid vacation, sick leave or any
insurance benefits, even if such representatives are physically situated at
Emergent’s offices.

    

    3.           Expenses.  Emergent
shall pay for or reimburse Consultant for out-of-pocket expenses reasonably
incurred in the performance of Services hereunder; provided, however, that
expenses shall only be paid for or reimbursed if in compliance with Emergent’s
Travel Policy (as previously provided to Consultant or as updated by Emergent
from time-to-time and disclosed to Consultant), or otherwise expressly
authorized in Exhibit
A or as agreed in writing by the Parties. Consultant shall submit monthly
invoices detailing expenses incurred during the immediately preceding month by
appropriate category and shall provide supporting documentation as is acceptable
to Emergent in its reasonable discretion.  It is agreed that expenses
shall not be marked up.  This Agreement relates to the provision of
Services only.  In the event Consultant deems it necessary to purchase
equipment, goods, software or other tangible or intangible property for which it
will seek reimbursement from Emergent, no such purchase shall be made and
Emergent shall not be responsible for reimbursement to Consultant unless
Consultant has received Emergent's express, prior written
authorization.

    

    4.           Confidentiality of
Information.  Consultant acknowledges
that this Agreement creates a confidential relationship between Consultant and
Emergent.  Consultant and Emergent acknowledge that, in order to
perform the Services, it will be necessary for Emergent to allow Consultant to
have access to certain commercially valuable, proprietary, and confidential
information of Emergent and its Affiliates.  Consultant agrees to keep
confidential and not, without the prior written consent of Emergent, to publish,
disclose to any third party or use (except for purposes of performance under
this Agreement) any confidential information, in either written, electronic or
oral form whether or not marked as “confidential” or “proprietary,” and without
limitation, any and all information relating to the business, prospective
business, technical processes, finances, price lists, customer lists,
information relating to the licensing or approval of any of the products,
business plans, business prospects, employee information, information regarding
facilities, operations and financial condition and results, inventions,
improvements, trade secrets, know-how, processes, formulas, methods, assays,
data, instrumentation, sales and marketing information, standard operating
procedures, clinical trials, clinical trial data, clinical specimens, study
protocols, investigators’ brochures and instructions or other scientific or
technical information, and any documentation and materials specifically
developed or prepared for or by Consultant in performance of Services under this
Agreement (collectively, the "Confidential Information"). The obligations of
this paragraph do not pertain to information which is generally known or
hereafter becomes generally known to the public through no fault of Consultant
or is disclosed by Consultant with the written approval of
Emergent.  Consultant shall return all such Confidential Information
to Emergent upon completion of the Services hereunder or upon Emergent’s
request.

    

    If
Confidential Information is sought by any source, including any governmental
organization, Consultant must immediately notify Emergent of such request and
refuse to divulge any such information at least until a representative of
Emergent is permitted to address the situation and either consents to the
disclosure or has the opportunity to engage legal means to protect the
disclosure of such information.

    

    5.           Authorized Contacts.  With respect to the
performance of Services, Consultant shall report to the
Authorized Contact(s) identified in Exhibit A (or such
other person that may hold the same position at a later date) or such other
person(s) as such Authorized Contact(s) may designate from time to time in
writing.

    

    6.           Deliverables and
Reports.  Consultant shall make weekly reports and such other
reports as Emergent or its Affiliates may from time to time
request.

    

    7.           Ownership of Work. All right,
title, and interest in and to all data, information, documents, materials and
inventions relating to or arising out of the Services shall belong to and be the
property of Emergent.  Consultant agrees, without further payment by
Emergent, to make any assignments and execute all documents necessary to effect
Emergent's title thereto in all countries of the
world.  Furthermore, all documents and
materials prepared by Consultant in the performance of its duties hereunder will
constitute works-made-for-hire and shall belong to and be the exclusive property
of Emergent and shall be surrendered by Consultant to Emergent upon request.
Consultant hereby assigns to Emergent all rights that Consultant may have to
data, information, documents, materials and inventions referred to in this
paragraph.  The above assignments and surrender shall be made once
payment in full has been made by Emergent to Consultant as detailed in Exhibit
A.

    

    8.   Term and
Termination.

    

    This
Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date set forth above and
shall continue in effect for one (1) year thereafter or until the Agreement
otherwise terminates under this Section 8 (the “Term”); provided, however, that
in the event that any requested Services are then outstanding, the Term shall be
automatically extended until such Services are completed or are terminated by
either Party.

     

    This

              On
      the date Emergent provides Consultant with written notice (setting out
      with particularity) that this Agreement is being terminated for
      “cause.”  For purposes of this Agreement, Consultant shall be
      deemed terminated for cause if Emergent terminates Consultant after
      Consultant:

              shall
      have committed any act or acts of embezzlement, theft or fraud against
      Emergent;

              shall
      have been convicted of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude,

              (d)

            	
              shall
      have committed a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants
      contained in Sections 4, 7, 9, 11 or 16
herein.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
                    
                On
      the date either Party terminates the Agreement for convenience on not less
      than ten (10) days’ prior written
  notice.

              

            

    

     

        Upon
termination of this Agreement, Emergent shall have no further liability other
than for payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for Services
provided prior to the termination date.  If this Agreement is
terminated by Emergent under Section 8(b)(i)(d), in addition to any other rights
or remedies available at law or in equity, Consultant will surrender any claim
for payment under the Agreement and will refund any payments received under this
Agreement.

     

    The
provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11 (with respect to 11(d), only for twelve
months following termination or expiration), 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

     

                   
9.     Representations and Warranties.  Consultant
represents and warrants that:

     

            (a) the
Services performed hereunder will be performed in a competent, diligent and
workmanlike manner consistent with the expected industry standards of
professional conduct;

    

    (b) Consultant
and any of Consultant’s personnel performing Services will perform the Services
for Emergent hereunder and have been advised of the restrictions and obligations
set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, the requirements of
confidentiality (Section 4), compliance with laws (Section 11) and
non-solicitation (Section 16); and

    

    (c) Consultant
has full power to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and has the full
and unrestricted right to disclose to Emergent any information Consultant makes
available to Emergent under this Agreement.

    

    10.           Relationship of Parties. With
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Parties are and remain
independent contractors.  This Agreement shall not be deemed to create
an employer/employee relationship, joint venture, partnership, association, or
agency between the Parties.  Consultant is not authorized to incur or
create any obligation express or implied on behalf of Emergent or to bind
Emergent in any manner whatsoever.

    

    11.           Compliance with Laws.  In performing the
Services, Consultant shall comply with all applicable existing and future laws,
rules and regulations.  Consultant covenants and agrees to perform its
duties and responsibilities under this Agreement in accordance with the highest
standards of ethical business conduct and will not engage in any acts or
activities that are illegal or that may adversely affect or reflect upon the
business, integrity or goodwill of Emergent.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Consultant represents, warrants and agrees
that:

    

    (a) Consultant
will comply with all applicable existing and future treaties,
laws,  regulations, including but not limited to those governing
employment practices (including those governing employee recruiting and hiring),
anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-gratuities laws or other similar
laws.

     

    (b) Consultant
will comply with all Emergent stated policies and procedures applicable to
consultants operating at Emergent’s offices, including without limitation, those
governing safety, health, harassment, and discrimination.

     

    (c) Consultant
will prohibit its staff from involvement with the payment or giving of anything
of value, either directly or indirectly, to an official of any government,
political party or official thereof, any candidate for foreign political office,
or any official of an international organization, for the purpose of influencing
an act or decision in its official capacity, or inducing that official to use
his/her influence with any government, to assist Emergent in obtaining or
retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any person, or for
obtaining an improper advantage.  Consultant agrees to comply with the
provisions of this Section 11(c) and take no action that it believes might cause
Emergent to be in violation of international, federal, state or local laws or
regulations, or Emergent’s policies and procedures, as well as any action by
Consultant that might be construed as a violation of international, federal,
state or local law, or Emergent’s policies and procedures.

     

    (d) At such
times as may be requested by Emergent, Consultant will certify to Emergent in
writing that: (1) Consultant understands the requirements of applicable
anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws that apply to the Consultant and the
Agreement; (2) Consultant believes it has complied with all applicable laws,
regulations, and Emergent’s policies and procedures; (3) Consultant has,
specifically, not made, offered to give or agreed to give anything of value,
directly or indirectly, whether in cash or in kind to or for the benefit of any
government official or “foreign official,” political party or official thereof,
or candidate for political office, or official of an international organization,
for the purpose of carrying out this Agreement; (4) Consultant does not know or
have any reason to believe that any employee, agent, representative or other
person retained by Consultant has violated any of the foregoing undertakings;
and (5) Consultant will immediately advise Emergent if Consultant should learn
or have reason to believe that there has been a violation of any of the
foregoing undertakings.

     

    (e) Emergent
BioSolutions Inc. (“EBSI”), is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock
Exchange.  Consultant acknowledges the laws and regulations
prohibiting “insider trading,” including the purchase or sale of securities of a
company while in the possession of material information that has not been
generally disclosed in the marketplace.  Consultant represents that it
may have access to certain material nonpublic information of EBSI, Emergent,
and/or their Affiliates and will not engage in insider trading or disclose such
information to any third parties.

    

    12.          
Definition of
Affiliate.  “Affiliate” shall mean any direct or indirect,
current or future subsidiary of a Party, or any other entity which is controlled
by a Party or which controls a Party.  The term “control” as used
herein shall mean possession, directly or indirectly of at least fifty percent
(50%) of the voting equity of another entity (or other comparable interest for
an entity other than a corporation), or the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management or policies of an entity whether through ownership
of securities, by contract or otherwise.

    

    13.           Export Control
Technology.  The Parties acknowledge that any products,
software, and technical information provided under this Agreement may be subject
to the United States, United Kingdom and other export laws and regulations and
any use or transfer of such products, software and technical information may
require authorization under those regulations. The parties agree that they will
not use, distribute, transfer, view or transmit such products, software or
technical information (even if incorporated in other products) except in
compliance with the applicable export regulations. The parties also agree to
sign written assurances and other export related documents as may be required
for compliance with applicable export regulations.

    

    14.           Indemnification and Limitation of
Liability.  Consultant shall hold
harmless and indemnify Emergent, its employees, agents and representatives, from
and against any and all suits, demands, losses, damages, judgments, claims,
costs, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) or other liability
(including, without limitation personal injury or death) (collectively
"Liability"), to the extent that such Liability arises from or is related to the
performance of Services under this Agreement or the negligence, act or omission
of Consultant or any of her agents or representatives.

    

    15.           Dispute
Resolution.  All disputes or claims arising under this
Agreement that cannot be resolved by the Parties shall be submitted to
non-binding mediation for a period of thirty days, which may be extended by
written agreement of the Parties.  If such dispute is not resolved
amicably through mediation or otherwise within the specified period, either
Party may pursue remedies available to it at law or in equity, subject to the
terms of this Agreement.

    

    16.           Non-Solicitation.  Consultant
agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12)
consecutive months after termination of such Agreement, Consultant will not
knowingly (i) directly induce or attempt to induce or otherwise counsel, advise,
solicit or encourage any employee to leave the employ of Emergent or accept
employment with Consultant or any other person or entity, (ii) directly induce
or attempt to induce or otherwise counsel, advise, solicit or encourage any
person who at the time of such inducement, counseling, advice, solicitation or
encouragement had left the employ of Emergent within the previous six (6) months
to accept employment with any person or entity besides Emergent or (iii)
solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to cause any customer, client, or business
partner of Emergent to cease or reduce its relationship with Emergent or induce
or attempt to induce any such customer, client, or business partner to breach
any agreement that such customer, client, or business partner may have with
Emergent.

    

    17.           Force Majeure. Neither Party
shall be liable for delay or failure in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such delay or failure is
due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including but
not limited to fires, floods, explosions, accidents, acts of God, war, riot,
strike, lockout or other concerted acts of workers, acts of government and
shortages of materials. The Party claiming force majeure shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or prevent the cause so as to
continue performing its obligations under this Agreement.  During such
time that the event of force majeure causes such a delay or failure of
performance, this Agreement and the Parties’ obligations and responsibilities
under it shall be deemed suspended until the event of force majeure
ceases.

    

    18.           Miscellaneous
Provisions.

    

    (a)           Governing Law and
Jurisdiction.  This Agreement and its interpretation shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its conflict
of law or choice of law provisions.

    

    (b)           Non-Waiver.  No
delay by or omission of any Party in exercising any right, power, privilege, or
remedy shall impair such right, power, privilege, or remedy or be construed as a
waiver thereof.

rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are not
exclusive of other rights or remedies provided by law.

Agreement, and Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless Emergent from and
against any such tax or payment.

    

    (e)           Notices.  Any

the preamble of this Agreement, or to such other address as a Party may later
designate in writing to the other Party.  Notice given by Consultant
to Emergent shall be directed to the President of EBSI; provided, however that
Notice of any legal action, claim or other legal matter given by Consultant to
Emergent shall be directed to the Legal Department of EBSI.

    

    (f)           Use of
Name.  Neither Party shall use the name, tradename or trademark
of the other Party in a press release, advertising, publicity or promotional
activity without the prior written consent of the other Party.

    

    (g)          Severability.  In
the event that any section or any part of a section of this Agreement should be
declared void, invalid, or unenforceable by any court of law, for any reason,

section or any part of any other section of this Agreement and the remainder of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

    

                   
(h)           Headings.  Headings

respective heirs, executors, representatives, trustees, permitted assigns, and
successors in interest.

    

    (j)           Assignability.  This
Agreement may not be assigned by Consultant without the prior, express written
consent of Emergent.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Emergent
without the prior, express written consent of Consultant; provided, however,
that this Agreement may, without Consultant’s written consent, be assigned and
transferred to any Affiliate of Emergent upon such assignee assuming Emergent’s
obligations hereunder, in which event Consultant agrees to continue to perform
the duties and obligations according to the terms hereof to or for such assignee
or transferee of this Agreement.

    

    (k)          Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be signed in two identical copies, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original copy, and a facsimile copy shall constitute a legally binding,
enforceable document.

    

    (l)           Integration.  This
Agreement, along with the corresponding Exhibit, constitutes the entire
agreement of the Parties, supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations and
understandings verbal and written, if any, and may only be amended or modified
by a written agreement signed by both Parties.  In the event of a
conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Exhibit or
attachment hereto, proposal, quotation or any Consultant documentation, the

      4.01 Corporate Status:
Subsidiaries. The Borrower is a corporation, duly organized and validly
existing in the jurisdiction in which it is organized, has the power and
authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as currently

necessary. The Borrower has no subsidiaries other than those previously
disclosed to the Bank in writing.

       

      4.02 Mergers and
Consolidations. Except as previously disclosed to the Bank in writing, no
entity has merged into the Borrower or been consolidated with the Borrower, and
the business of the Borrower has not ever been conducted as a partnership or

      4.03 Purchase of Assets.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.03

past.

       

      4.04 Borrower’s and Guarantor’s
Authority and Capacity. The Borrower and the Guarantor have the full
legal right, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents to which they are a party and to incur the obligations provided for
therein. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the
obligations provided for therein have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate actions on the part of the Borrower and the Guarantor (all
of which actions are in full force and effect), and do not and will not require
any consent or approval of the stockholders of the Borrower which has not been
obtained.

       

      4.05 Binding Agreement of
Borrower and the Guarantor. The Loan Documents are the valid and legally
binding obligations and agreements of the Borrower and of the Guarantor,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

       

      4.06 No Conflicting Law and
Agreements.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.06
attached hereto, the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and the
Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party will not violate any
provision of law, any order of any court or government instrumentality or
agency, any indenture, any loan or credit agreement or any other material
agreement, commitment, lease, contract, mortgage, note or other instrument
binding on the Borrower or Guarantor or affecting the Property, or be in
conflict with, result in a breach of, in any material respect, or constitute
(with due notice, lapse of time, or both) a default (as defined therein) under
any such indenture, agreement, commitment, lease, contract, mortgage, note or
other instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other
than a Permitted Lien) of any nature whatsoever upon any of the Collateral, or
result in or require the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Borrower or
Guarantor.

       

      4.07 Compliance with Laws.
The Borrower and the Guarantor are in compliance in all material respects with
any federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations including, but not
limited to Environmental Laws and the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Borrower and
the Guarantor maintain all of the necessary material permits, licenses and
certifications necessary for the operation of their businesses. All of the
foregoing are in full force and effect and not in known conflict with the rights
of others. The Borrower is not in breach of or default (as defined therein)
under the provisions of any of the foregoing, nor is there any event, fact,
condition or circumstance which, with notice or passage of time or both, would
constitute or result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default (as
defined therein) under, any of the foregoing which, if not remedied within any
applicable grace or cure period could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Borrower.

       

      4.08 Taxes. The Borrower
and the Guarantor have filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and local
income, excise, property and other tax returns which are required to be filed.

interest and penalties as shown on such returns or on any assessment received by
them, to the extent that such taxes have become due, including, but not limited
to, all F.I.C.A. payments and withholding taxes.  Except as disclosed
in Schedule
4.08 attached hereto, the amounts reserved as a liability for income and

the payment of all unpaid Federal, state, county and local income, excise,
property and other taxes, whether or not disputed, of the Borrower and the
Guarantor accrued for or applicable to the period and on the dates of such
financial statements and all years and periods prior thereto and for which the
Borrower, any existing Subsidiary or the Guarantor may be liable in its or their
own right or as a transferee of the assets of, or as successor to, any other
person or entity.

       

      4.09 Financial Condition.
The financial statements of the Borrower and the Guarantor and other related
information previously submitted to the Bank are true, complete and correct in
all material respects, fairly represent the financial condition of the Borrower
and the Guarantor and the results of their respective operations and
transactions as of the dates and for the periods of such statements and have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout
the period involved. There are no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or
contingent, matured or unmatured, known to the Borrower or the Guarantor which
are not required to be reflected therein pursuant to GAAP. There has been no
material adverse change in the business, operations, prospects, assets,
properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or the
Guarantor, taken as a whole since the date of said financial
statements.

       

      4.10 Title To Properties.

reflected on the financial statements referred to in this Agreement, except for
such properties and assets as have been disposed of since the date of such
financial statements as no longer used or useful in the conduct of its business
or as have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business, and all such
properties and assets are free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted
Liens.  Except as noted in Title Insurance Policies Nos. TRO-06-100063
and TRO-06-100064 issued by Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation in favor of
Bank, as updated, none of the real property included in such
properties of the Borrower is subject to any covenant or other restriction
preventing or limiting the right of the record owner to convey or use it, all
such real property has adequate rights of ingress and egress, and the Developed
Campus has direct and unobstructed access to electric, gas, water, sewer and
telephone lines, all of which are adequate for the uses to which such property
is currently devoted.

       

      4.11 Litigation.  Except
as disclosed in Schedule 4.11
attached hereto, there are no actions, claims, suits or proceedings pending, or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantor, threatened or reasonably
anticipated against or affecting the Borrower or the Guarantor at law or in
equity including, without limitation, under ERISA or any Environmental Laws or
before or by any governmental instrumentality or agency (domestic or foreign),
commission, board, bureau, arbitrator or arbitration panel, and there is no
probable judgment, liability or award which may reasonably be expected to result
in any material adverse change in the business, operations, prospects,
properties or assets or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower or
the Guarantor. The Borrower is not in default with respect to any judgment,
order, writ, injunction, decree, rule, award or regulation of any court,
governmental instrumentality or agency, commission, board, bureau, or arbitrator
or arbitration panel.

       

      4.12 No Other Defaults.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.12
attached hereto, neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor is in default under any
contract, agreement, commitment or other instrument which default would have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties or condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Borrower or the Guarantor, or in the performance of any
covenants or conditions respecting any of their indebtedness. No holder of any
indebtedness of the Borrower or Guarantor has given notice of any asserted
default thereunder. No liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower or the
Guarantor and no receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
similar proceeding relative to the Borrower or the Guarantor or their properties
is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantor, is threatened
against them or any of them.

       

      4.13 ERISA. (a) The
pension, profit sharing, savings, stock bonus and other deferred compensation
plans established and maintained by the Borrower, the Guarantor and any Commonly
Controlled Entity (as defined below) which are subject to the requirements of
ERISA, if any, were stated in their inception or have, since ERISA became
effective with respect to such plans, been amended and restated in a manner
designed to qualify under the applicable requirements of ERISA and the Internal
Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and subsequent to such
statement, or restatement, those plans and their related trusts have received
favorable determinations from the Internal Revenue Service holding that such
plans and trusts so qualify; (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower and the
Guarantor, there is no current matter which would materially adversely affect
the qualified tax-exempt status of any pension, profit-sharing, savings, stock
bonus or other deferred compensation plan and their related trusts of either of
the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity under the Code; (c) neither the
Borrower, the Guarantor, nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has incurred in
connection with any such plan any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined
in Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412(a) of the Code) whether or not waived;
(d) there has been no “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section
4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) involving any such plan of the
Borrower, the Guarantor, or any Commonly Controlled Entity; (e) no “reportable
event,” as defined by Title IV of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any plan
subject to the minimum funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code
maintained for employees of the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity; (f)
no “multi-employer plan” (as defined in ERISA) to which either the Borrower, the
Guarantor or any Commonly Controlled Entity has an obligation to contribute, has
“terminated,” as that term is defined in ERISA; (g) neither the Borrower, the
Guarantor, nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has withdrawn, in a “complete
withdrawal” (as defined in ERISA), from any “multi-employer plan” to which
either the Borrower or such Commonly Controlled Entity had an obligation to
contribute; (h) neither the Borrower, the Guarantor nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has withdrawn, in a “partial withdrawal” (as defined in ERISA), from any
“multi-employer plan” to which either the Borrower, the Guarantor or such
Commonly Controlled Entity had an obligation to contribute; and (i) no
“multi-employer plan” to which either the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
Commonly Controlled Entity had an obligation to contribute is in
“reorganization” (as defined in ERISA and the Code) nor has notice been received
from the administrator of any “multi-employer plan” to which either the
Borrower, the Guarantor, or any Commonly Controlled Entity has an obligation to
contribute that any such plan will be placed in “reorganization.” For purposes
of this Section, the term “Commonly Controlled Entity’ means any corporation
which is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined for purposes
of Section 414(6) of the Code) of which the Borrower is a member and any trade
or business (whether or not incorporated) which is under “common control” (as
defined for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code) with the
Borrower.

       

      4.14 Other Security

sells, or any service it renders, or any process, method, know-how, trade
secret, part or material it employs in the manufacture of any product it makes
or sells or any service it renders, or the marketing or use by it or another of
any such product or service, may infringe any trademark, trade name, copyright,
patent, trade secret or legally protectable right of any other person or
entity.

       

      4.16 Approvals. No
approval, consent or other action by any governmental instrumentality or agency
or any other person or entity, which approval, consent, or other action has not
been obtained or taken or which does not remain in effect as of the date hereof,
is or will be necessary to permit the valid execution, delivery and performance
by the Borrower and the Guarantor of the Loan Documents.

       

      4.17 Tradenames.  Except
as disclosed in Schedule 4.17
attached hereto, the Borrower utilizes no tradenames in the conduct of its
business and has not changed its name.

       

      4.18 Labor

bargaining unit representing such employees. The Borrower has complied and is in
material compliance with all laws relating to the employment of labor,
including, without limitation, provisions relating to wages, hours, collective
bargaining, occupational safety and health, equal employment opportunities and
the withholding of income taxes and social security contributions, the
non-compliance with which might materially adversely affect its business,
operations, prospects, assets, properties or condition (financial or
otherwise).

property is located for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such
policy. If the Borrower fails to provide and pay for such insurance, the Bank
may, at the Borrower’s expense, procure the same, but shall not be required to

become a Lien upon such properties or any part thereof, provided, however, that the
Borrower and the Guarantor are not required hereby to pay and discharge or to
cause to be paid and discharged any such indebtedness, obligation, tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Borrower and the
Guarantor shall set aside on their books reserves which are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and which the Bank deems adequate with
respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so

equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or agency (domestic or
foreign), commission, board, bureau, arbitrator or arbitration panel which, if

to the Property or the business operations of the Borrower.  Borrower
hereby discloses to Bank that an underground storage tank (“UST”) was installed on the
Property prior to or during the Property’s ownership by the State of Michigan
(the “State”), which
owned the Property prior to the Borrower.  The UST was subsequently
removed by the State prior to the ownership of the Property by
Borrower.  The State conducted environmental testing on the Property,
and acknowledged responsibility for any issues associated with the
UST.

       

      5.11 Access Onto Property and to
the UCC Collateral. Allow the appropriate agents and contractors of the

necessary by the Bank to insure compliance by the Borrower with all
Environmental Laws, subject to advance notice and subject to safety limitations
and legal limits of general applicability. The Borrower acknowledges that no
adequate remedy at law exists for a violation of this covenant and agrees that
the Bank is entitled to specific performance of its rights under this covenant,
subject to advance notice and subject to safety limitations and legal limits of
general applicability. The right of access granted herein shall continue until
this Agreement is terminated

       

      5.12 Notice of Default; Material
Adverse Change. Promptly notify the Bank of any condition or event that

below.

       

      5.13 Borrower’s Claims.
Promptly notify the Bank in writing of any action or omission of the Bank which
the Borrower claims caused or may cause injury, loss or damage to the Borrower.
Failure of the Borrower to so notify the Bank of such claim of which it has
knowledge within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Borrower determines
that it has such claim shall constitute a waiver of such claim.

       

      5.14 Defense of
Collateral. Defend the Collateral, and the Bank’s security interest
therein, against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the
same or any interest therein (except to the extent Bank agrees to waive such
failure to defend as Bank has determined such failure would not have a material
adverse effect on Bank) and pay, upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Bank in
connection therewith.

       

      5.15 Use of Proceeds. Use

request.

storage, disposal, transport or handling of any Hazardous Materials other than

copies of all reports prepared by Borrower or its Affiliates, excepting clinical
trial reports, or provided to Borrower or its Affiliates by any governmental
authority, any environmental auditor or engineer, or any other person, relating

Environmental Laws, unless the Borrower cannot obtain such reports or copies
thereof.

except for guarantees with a maximum aggregate liability for the Borrower of
$500,000.00.

       

      5.23 Merger, Name Changes,
etc.  Not enter into any merger, consolidation, reorganization
or recapitalization, or purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all
of the assets, obligations, capital stock or other equity interest in any other

result in an Event of Default.  The Borrower shall provide prior
written notice to the Bank of any anticipated name change and will execute any
additional Loan Documents necessary to confirm and re-affirm the obligations of
the Loan Documents in connection with any such name change.

       

      5.24 Affiliate

refinancing thereof, (c) purchase money indebtedness, and (d) other indebtedness
that does not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate at any time
outstanding.  The Guarantor shall not incur any indebtedness for

Default.

       

      SECTION
6.                         EVENTS OF
DEFAULT

       

      The
occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event
of Default hereunder (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods
contained in the Loan Documents):

       

      6.01 Payments.  Default
shall be made in the payment of the principal of, or any installment of
principal of, or interest on, the Note within ten (10) days of when due, whether
at the due date thereof, at a date fixed for prepayment thereof, upon
acceleration thereof or otherwise.

       

      6.02 Representations. Any
representation or warranty made in or in connection with any of the Loan
Documents shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect
when made or deemed to have been made.

       

      6.03 Covenants. Default
shall be made in the due observance or performance of any covenant, condition or
agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of
any of the Loan Documents and such default shall continue unremedied for thirty
(30) business days after notice to the Borrower and the Guarantor
thereof.

       

      6.04 (a)           Voluntary Bankruptcy,
Etc. The Borrower or the Guarantor: (i) voluntarily is adjudicated as
bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) seeks or consents to the appointment of a receiver
or trustee for itself or for all or any part of its property, (iii) files a
petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or similar laws of the United
States or any state or any other competent jurisdiction, (iv) makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (v) admits in writing its inability
to pay its debts as they mature.

       

      (b) Involuntary Bankruptcy,
Etc. A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or
decree appointing, without the consent of the Borrower or the Guarantor, a
receiver or trustee for the Borrower or the Guarantor or for all or any part of
their property, or a petition is filed against the Borrower or the Guarantor
seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States
or any state or other competent jurisdiction, and such petition, order, judgment
or decree shall remain in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
calendar days.

       

      6.05 Intentionally
Deleted.

occurrence of (a) an uncured event of default (as defined therein) under any of

Delaware corporation (“Emergent
Gaithersburg”) is an obligor, or (ii) any other agreement between the
Borrower, the Guarantor, Emergent Baltimore or Emergent Gaithersburg and the

Loan, or (d) an uncured event of default (as defined therein) under any other
indebtedness or liability for borrowed money of the Borrower in an amount in
excess of $1,000,000.00, if the effect of such default is to accelerate the
maturity of such evidence of indebtedness or liability or to permit the holder
thereof to cause any indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity and
the Bank determines, in its discretion, that such default impairs or prevents
the Borrower from performing its obligations under the Loan
Documents.

       

      6.07 Judgment. Unless, in
the opinion of the Bank, adequately covered by insurance, the entry of one or
more final judgments, decrees or orders for the payment of money involving more

Change. There shall be a materially adverse change in the total financial
condition of the Borrower or the Guarantor, taken as a whole.

       

      SECTION
7.                         RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES

       

      7.01 Remedies. If any one
or more Events of Default shall occur, then in each and every such case, the
Bank may at any time thereafter exercise and/or enforce any of the following
rights and remedies:

       

      (a) Acceleration. Declare
the Note to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest
thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of dishonor, all of
which the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby waive.

       

      (b) Possession and
Collection (i) Take possession or control of, sell or otherwise dispose
of all of any part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of Section 4.2 of the
Security Agreement; (ii) endorse as the agent of the Borrower any chattel paper,
documents, or instruments forming all or any part of the Collateral; (iii) pay,
purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien that, in the
opinion of the Bank, appears to be prior or superior to its Lien and pay all
reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith; (iv) take any other action
which the Bank deems necessary or desirable to protect and realize upon its
security interest in the Collateral; and (v) in addition to the foregoing, and
not in substitution therefor, exercise any one or more of the rights and
remedies exercisable by the Bank under other provisions of this Agreement, under
the Note, under any of the other Loan Documents, or provided by applicable law
(including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction) and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title
or the like. In taking possession of the Collateral the Bank may proceed without
legal process, if this can be done without breach of the peace. The Borrower
waives any right it may have to require the Bank to pursue any third person for
payment of the Loan.

       

      (c) Receiver.                      Obtain
appointment of a receiver for all or any of the Collateral, the Borrower and the
Guarantor hereby consenting to the appointment of such a receiver and each
agreeing not to oppose any such appointment. Any receiver so appointed shall
have such powers as may be conferred by the appointing authority including any
or all of the powers, rights and remedies which the Bank is authorized to
exercise by the Loan Documents, and shall have the right to incur such
obligations and to issue such certificates therefor as the appointing authority
shall authorize.

       

      (d) Performance by
Bank.  Make such payment or perform any of the conditions,
covenants, terms, stipulations or agreements contained in this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents for the account and at the expense of the
Borrower.

       

      7.02 Sales on Credit. If
the Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Borrower will be credited
only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Bank and
applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the
purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Bank may resell the Collateral
and the Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

       

      7.03 Proceeds. Any
proceeds of the collection of the Loan or of the sale or other disposition of
the Collateral will be applied by the Bank to the payment of fees and costs, and
any balance of such proceeds (if any) will be applied by the Bank to the payment
of the remaining Loan (whether then due or not), at such time or times and in
such order and manner of application as the Bank may from time to time in its
sole discretion determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral
fails to pay the Loan in full, the Borrower and the Guarantor shall remain
jointly and severally liable to the Bank for any deficiency.

       

      7.04 Notices. Any notices
required under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the sale or other
disposition of the Collateral shall be deemed reasonable if mailed by the Bank
to the persons entitled thereto at their last known address at least ten (10)
days prior to disposition of the Collateral.

       

      7.05 Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTOR AND
THE BANK HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY
ANY PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE BORROWER AND THE
GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE BANK THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH
CONSTITUTE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THE BANK HAS RELIED, IS RELYING AND
WILL RELY IN MAKING THE LOAN. THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTOR HEREBY CERTIFY THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE BANK (INCLUDING ITS COUNSEL) HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE BANK WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE CONSULTED WITH AN ATTORNEY AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
LEGAL EFFECT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.

       

      7.06 Cumulative
Remedies.  Each right, power and remedy of the Bank as provided
for in the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in
addition to every other such right, power or remedy, and the exercise or
beginning of the exercise by the Bank of any one or more of such rights, powers
or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Bank of
any or all other such rights, powers or remedies. The Bank may comply with any
applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of
the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

       

      7.07 No Waiver. No failure
or delay by the Bank in insisting upon the strict performance of any term,
condition, or covenant of the Loan Documents or in exercising any right, power
or remedy consequent upon an Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any
such term, condition or covenant or of any such breach, or preclude the Bank
from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By
accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under the Loan
Documents, the Bank shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require
prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents,
or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such
other amount.

terminated Liens.

part of the Bank to the Borrower, as creating any joint venture, agency, or
other relationship between the parties other than as explicitly and specifically
stated in this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choosing in
connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and to obtain

respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent
decision to apply to the Bank for credit and to execute and deliver this
Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Note and the Loan Documents are for
the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank, their respective successors, assigns,

other person shall have any right or cause of action or account
thereof.

       

      8.14 Electronic Transmission of

related to the Loan (including confidential information, documents, applications
and reports) may be transmitted electronically, including transmission over the
