	(2)	[Name of officer] (the “Officer”). 

 NOW THIS DEED WITNESSETH as follows: 

 

	1.	CONDITIONALITY 

 Clauses 2 to 13 of this Deed (inclusive) are conditional upon and shall
be effective as from an underwritten public offering of shares in the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of any securities of the Company on a U.S.
exchange including, without limitation, NASDAQ (the “IPO”, the effective date of the IPO being the “Effective Date”). In the instance that the IPO does not take place on or before [—], this Deed will automatically terminate without liability to the parties. 
  

	2.	GENERAL INDEMNITY 

 Subject to Clauses 1, 3, 7 and 8 of this Deed, the Company shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law and without prejudice to any other indemnity to which the Officer may otherwise be entitled, indemnify and hold the Officer harmless in respect of all claims, actions and proceedings, whether civil, criminal or
regulatory, arising out of, or in connection with, the actual or purported exercise of, or failure to exercise, any of the Officer’s powers, duties or responsibilities as an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (as defined in
section 1159 and Schedule 6 of the Act) for the time being (together referred to in this Deed as “Group Companies”) (“Claims”), and any losses, damages, penalties, liabilities, compensation or other awards arising
in connection with any such Claims (“Losses”) arising at any time since the Officer’s appointment as an officer of the Company, whether instigated, imposed or incurred under the laws of England and Wales or the law of any other
jurisdiction, subject to the remaining provisions of this Deed. In this Deed the “Act” means the Companies Act 2006 including any modification or re-enactment of it for the time being in force. 

 

	3.	EXCLUSIONS FROM GENERAL INDEMNITY 

 The indemnity in Clause 2 of this Deed shall be
deemed not to provide for, or entitle the Officer to, any indemnification that would cause this Deed, or any part of it, to be treated as void under the Act and, in particular, to the extent the liability attaches to the Officer in connection with
any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he is an officer, shall not provide directly or indirectly (to any extent) any indemnity against: 

 

	 	(a)	any liability incurred by the Officer to the Company or any Associated Company (as defined in section 256 of the Act); or 

	 	(b)	any liability incurred by the Officer to pay a fine imposed in criminal proceedings or a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature
(however arising); or 

  

	 	(c)	any liability incurred by the Officer: 

  

	 	(i)	in defending any criminal proceedings in which he is convicted; or 

  

	 	(ii)	in defending any civil proceedings brought by the Company, or an Associated Company, in which judgment is given against him; or 

  

	 	(iii)	in connection with any application under section 661(3) or section 661(4) or section 1157 of the Act in which the Court refuses to grant him relief, 

where, in any such case, any such conviction, judgment or refusal of relief has become final. 

Reference in this Clause 3 to a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief becoming ‘final’ shall be construed in accordance with
section 234(5) of the Act. 
  

	4.	INDEMNITY FOR COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES 

 Without prejudice to the generality of and in
addition to the indemnity set out in Clause 2 of this Deed but subject to Clauses 1 and 7 of this Deed, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify on an ‘as incurred’ basis against all legal and other costs,
charges and expenses reasonably incurred: 
  

	 	(a)	in defending Claims including, without limitation, Claims brought by, or at the request of, the Company or any Associated Company; 

  

	 	(b)	in defending himself in any investigation into the affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any judicial, governmental, regulatory or other body or against any action proposed to be taken by any such
authority; and 

  

	 	(c)	in connection with any application under section 661(3) or section 661(4) or section 1157 of the Act, 

provided that the Officer agrees that the indemnity provided for in this Clause 4 shall not extend to any such legal and other costs, charges
and expenses incurred by the Officer: 
  

	 	(i)	in defending criminal proceedings in which he is convicted; or 

  

	 	(ii)	in defending civil proceedings brought by the company or an associated company in which judgment is given against him; or 

  

	 	(iii)	in connection with an application for relief which is refused, 

  
 2 

 and any monies paid by the Company in respect of the indemnity in this Clause 4 shall fall to be
repaid not later than: 
  

	 	(iv)	in the event of the Officer being convicted in the proceedings, the date when the conviction becomes final; or 

  

	 	(v)	in the event of judgment being given against the Officer in the proceedings, the date when the judgment becomes final; or 

  

	 	(vi)	in the event of the Court refusing to grant the Officer relief on the application, the date when the refusal of relief becomes final. 

References in this Clause 4 to a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief being ‘final’ shall be construed in accordance with
section 234(5) of the Act. 
  

	5.	INSURANCE 

 The Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to provide and maintain
appropriate directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including ensuring that premiums are properly paid) for the benefit of the Officer for so long as any Claims may lawfully be brought against the Officer. 

 

	6.	NOTIFICATION 

 The Company shall only be liable to indemnify the Officer in accordance
with this Deed if the Officer gives written notice to the Company upon receipt of any demand relating to any Claims (or circumstances which may reasonably be expected to give rise to a demand relating to Claims) giving full details and providing
copies of all relevant correspondence, keeps the Company fully informed of the progress of any Claims, including providing all such information in relation to any Claims or Losses or any other costs, charges or expenses incurred as the Company may
reasonably request, and takes all such action as the Company may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend any Claims. 
  

	7.	CONDUCT OF CLAIMS 

  

	7.1	Subject to the provisions of Clauses 7.2 to 7.4 (inclusive), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall be entitled (but shall not be obliged), at its own cost, and to the extent it so wishes, to take
actions on behalf of the Officer and to direct the conduct of the Officer in the defence of any Claims. 

  

	7.2	Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing Clause 7.1, and subject to the provisions of sub-clauses (a) and (b) of this Clause 7.2, the Company shall be entitled, at its own expense, to engage
legal counsel (“Nominated Counsel”) to defend a Claim on behalf of a Officer provided that: 

  

	 	(a)	the Officer shall have the right to refuse the engagement of Nominated Counsel to defend the Claim on his behalf and to engage his own legal counsel (“Personal Counsel”) in defending a Claim; and

  
 3 

	 	(b)	in the instance that the Officer refuses the engagement of Nominated Counsel to defend the Claim on his behalf and instead elects to engage Personal Counsel: 

 

	 	(i)	all costs and expenses related to the engagement of Personal Counsel (“Personal Counsel Costs”) shall be paid by the Officer at his own expense; and 

 

	 	(ii)	the Company shall be under no obligation under any provision of this Deed to indemnify the Officer in respect of Personal Counsel Costs unless: 

 

	 	(A)	the Officer’s engagement of Personal Counsel has been authorized by the Company; or 

  

	 	(B)	the Officer has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between the Officer and the Company in the defence of a Claim, 

in which case then the Officer shall be entitled to engage Personal Counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel
in respect of any such Claim) and the Officer shall be indemnified for costs incurred in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4. 
  

	7.3	In the instance that Nominated Counsel is engaged to defend the Claim on behalf of the Officer: 

  

	 	(a)	the Company shall not be liable to the Officer under this Deed or otherwise for any legal expenses subsequently directly incurred by the Officer in connection with the Officer’s defence of such Claim; and

  

	 	(b)	the Officer shall be liable to the Company for any amounts paid by the Company to Nominated Counsel: 

  

	 	(i)	in defending criminal proceedings in which the Officer is convicted; or 

  

	 	(ii)	in defending civil proceedings brought by the company or an associated company in which judgment is given against him; or 

  

	 	(iii)	in connection with an application for relief which is refused, and 

 any such amounts shall
fall to be repaid not later than: 
  

	 	(iv)	in the event of the Officer being convicted in the proceedings, the date when the conviction becomes final; or 

  

	 	(v)	in the event of judgment being given against the Officer in the proceedings, the date when the judgment becomes final; or 

  

	 	(vi)	in the event of the Court refusing to grant the Officer relief on the application, the date when the refusal of relief becomes final. 

  
 4 

 References in this Clause 7.3 to a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief being
‘final’ shall be construed in accordance with section 234(5) of the Act. 
  

	7.4	The Officer shall not (irrespective of whether Nominated Counsel or Personal Counsel is engaged to defend the Claim on his behalf) without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed): 

  

	 	(a)	take any action that can be reasonably expected to have a material impact on the outcome of a Claim; 

  

	 	(b)	agree any compromise or settlement in relation to a Claim; or 

  

	 	(c)	make any payment in relation to a Claim. 

  

	8.	LIMITS ON OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY 

  

	8.1	If a company ceases to be a Group Company after the Effective Date, the Company shall only be liable to indemnify the Officer in respect of liabilities in relation to that company which arose before the date on which
that company ceased to be a Group Company. 

  

	8.2	The Officer of any company which becomes a Group Company after the Effective Date shall be indemnified only in respect of liabilities arising after the date on which that company became a Group Company.

  

	9.	TERM 

 This Deed shall become effective and shall be deemed delivered from the Effective
Date (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the indemnity set out in Clause 1 of this deed shall cover Claims and Losses arising at any time since the Officer’s appointment to his current position in the Company) and remain in force until
such time as any relevant limitation periods for bringing Claims against the Officer have expired, or for so long as the Officer remains liable for any Losses. 
  

	10.	AMENDMENT 

 The Company can amend the terms of this Deed on one month’s notice to
the Officer. No such amendment shall affect the rights of any Officer in respect of any Claims and Losses arising out of any act or omission of that Officer before any such amendment is made. 

 

	11.	VALIDITY AND SEVERABILITY 

 If this Deed is finally judicially determined in a relevant
jurisdiction to provide for, or entitle the Officer to, indemnification against any Claims or Losses that would cause this Deed, or any part of it, to be treated as void under the laws of that jurisdiction, this Deed shall, in so far as it relates
to such jurisdiction, be deemed not to provide for, or entitle the Officer to, any such indemnification, and the Company shall instead indemnify the Officer against any Claims or Losses to the fullest extent permitted by law in that jurisdiction.

  
 5 

	12.	THIRD PARTY RIGHTS 

 A person who is not a party to this Deed shall have no right under
the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms. 
  

	13.	GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION 

 This Deed, including any non-contractual obligations
arising out of or in connection with this Deed, shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales and each of the Company and the Officer hereby submit for all purposes in connection with this Deed to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice in England and Wales.

 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AWARD 

granted under Appendix B to the 

OXFORD IMMUNOTEC GLOBAL PLC 

2013 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN 

This agreement (this “Agreement”) evidences a stock option granted by Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (the
“Company”) to the undersigned (the “Optionee”) pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Share Incentive Plan and Appendix B thereto (together, as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). 

1. Grant of Option. On the grant date set forth above (the “Grant Date”) the Company granted to the Optionee an option (the
“Option”) to purchase, on the terms provided herein and in the Plan, up to the number of shares of Stock set forth above (the “Shares”) at the exercise price per Share set forth above, in each case subject to
adjustment pursuant to Rule 12 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof. 
 The Option evidenced by this
Agreement is intended to be a nonstatutory option, that is, an option that does not qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. The Optionee provides services to the Company and/or of one or more subsidiaries of
the Company with respect to which the Company has a “controlling interest” as described in Treas. Regs. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E)(1). 
 2.
Meaning of Certain Terms. Each initially capitalized term used but not separately defined herein has the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan. 

3. Vesting. Unless earlier terminated, forfeited, relinquished or expired, the Option shall vest as follows: 

(a). Time-Based Vesting. Subject to Section 3(b) below and to the Optionee’s continued service on the Board through
[the]/[each] vesting date, the Option shall vest and become exercisable [—]. 
 (b). Change in Control Vesting. Upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Option, to the extent then unvested and outstanding, shall vest as to 100% of the Shares, subject to the Optionee’s continued service on the Board through the date of the Change in
Control. 

 (c). Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in
Control” means the first to occur of any of the following events: 
 (i). an event in which any “person” as such term is
used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) (other than (A) the Company, (B) any subsidiary of the Company, (C) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, and (D) any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the
Company), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), together with all affiliates and associates (as such terms are used in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the 1934 Act)
of such person, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, unless the transaction or transactions which resulted in the person
becoming such a beneficial owner were approved by a majority of the directors on the Board; 
 (ii). the consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other company, other than (A) a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
more than 60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of
the Company (or similar transaction) after which no “person” “beneficially owns” (with the determination of such “beneficial ownership” on the same basis as set forth in clause (i) of this definition) securities of
the Company or the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation; or (C) a merger or consolidation
after which individuals who were directors on the Board immediately prior to such merger or consolidation constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company or its successor (or any parent thereof) immediately after such merger
or consolidation; 
 (iii). if, during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the date the Plan was
initially adopted), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has conducted or threatened a proxy contest, or has entered into an agreement with the
Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of this definition) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
directors then still in office, who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or 

(iv). the complete liquidation of the Company or the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets. 
 4. Exercise of Option. No portion of the Option may be exercised until it vests. Each election to exercise must be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and comply with such rules as the Administrator prescribes from time to time and must be 

  
 -2- 

 
accompanied by payment in full in the form of cash or a check acceptable to the Administrator, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, through a broker-assisted cashless exercise program
acceptable to the Administrator, or by such other form of payment, if any, as may be acceptable to the Administrator. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the latest date on which the
Option or any portion thereof may be exercised is the date that is the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Final Exercise Date”); provided, however, if at such time the Optionee is prohibited by applicable law or
written Company policy applicable to the Optionee and similarly situated employees from engaging in any open-market sales of Stock, the Final Exercise Date will be automatically extended to thirty (30) days following the date the Optionee is no
longer prohibited from engaging in such open-market sales. Any portion of the Option that remains outstanding and has not been exercised by the Final Exercise Date will thereupon immediately terminate. Upon any earlier termination of the
Optionee’s service, the following rules shall apply (in lieu of the provisions set forth in Rule 8.4 of the Plan): 
 (a). Subject to
clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) below, immediately upon the cessation of the Optionee’s service the Option will cease to be exercisable and will there upon immediately terminate. 

(b). Subject to clauses (c), (d) and (e) below, the Option, to the extent vested immediately prior to the cessation of the
Optionee’s service due to a resignation by the Optionee, will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date that is three months following the date of such cessation of service or (ii) the Final Exercise Date, and except to the
extent previously exercised as permitted by this Agreement, will there upon immediately terminate. 
 (c). Subject to clauses (d) and
(e) below, the Option, to the extent vested immediately prior to a cessation of the Optionee’s service due to the Optionee’s death or cessation of service by the Board due to the Optionee’s disability (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months following the date of such cessation of service or (ii) the Final Exercise Date, and except to the extent previously exercised
as permitted by this Agreement, will thereupon immediately terminate. 
 (d). Subject to clause (e) below, the Option, to the extent
vested immediately prior to a cessation of the Optionee’s service resulting from the Optionee not being nominated to, or elected to continue serve on, the Board for reasons other than for Cause, will remain exercisable until the earlier of
(i) the second anniversary of the date of such cessation of service or (ii) the Final Exercise Date, and except to the extent previously exercised as permitted by this Agreement, will thereupon immediately terminate. 

(e). If the Optionee’s service is terminated in connection with an act or failure to act constituting Cause or occurs in circumstances
that would have constituted grounds for the Optionee’s service to be terminated for Cause (in each case, as the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine), the Option (whether or not vested) will immediately terminate and be forfeited upon
such termination. 
 5. Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation. By accepting the Option, the Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her
rights, and those of any permitted transferee of the 

  
 -3- 

 
Option, under the Option or to any Stock acquired under the Option or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Rule 6.6 of the Plan (including any successor provision). Nothing
in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 9 of this Agreement. 
 6. Nontransferability.
Neither the Option nor any rights with respect to this Agreement may be sold, assigned, transferred (other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution). 

7. Withholding. The Optionee shall be responsible for satisfying and paying all taxes arising from or due in connection with the Option, its exercise
or a disposition of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. The Company shall have no liability or obligation related to the foregoing. 
 8. Effect
on Service. Neither the grant of the Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, will give the Optionee any right to be retained in the service of the Company or any of its affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any
of its affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her service at any time. 

9. Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy
of the Plan as in effect on the Grant Date has been furnished to the Optionee. By exercising all or any part of the Option, the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 
 10. Acknowledgements. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (i) this
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, (ii) this agreement may be executed and exchanged using facsimile, portable
document format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, shall constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder and (iii) such signature will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when
this Agreement is countersigned by the Optionee.
