Re: Emergent BioSolutions Inc. — Lock-Up Agreement (this “Letter Agreement”)

(“Parent”), 35406 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct
subsidiary of Parent (the “LLC”), 30333 Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
indirect subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Trubion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
12, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Merger Sub will merge (the
“Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect
subsidiary of Parent, and then merging with and into the LLC with the LLC being the surviving
entity of the LLC Merger. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger, Parent will

Consideration.
To induce Parent to consummate the Merger and to issue the Stock Merger Consideration, the

or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, the Stock Merger Consideration or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Stock Merger Consideration or
(2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Stock Merger Consideration, whether any such transaction described
in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of the Stock Merger Consideration, such
other securities, in cash or otherwise. Following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the
undersigned agrees that the foregoing restrictions will continue to apply to the Stock Merger
Consideration except that (a) for a period of ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Lock-Up
Period, the undersigned may take any such action referred to in clause (1) or (2) above in respect
of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Stock Merger Consideration received by the undersigned at
the Effective Time, (b) for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the
Lock-Up Period, the undersigned may take any such action referred to in clause (1) or (2) above in
respect of up to fifty percent (50%) of the Stock Merger Consideration received by the undersigned
at the Effective Time, (c) for a period of two-hundred seventy (270) days after the expiration of
the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned may take any such action referred to in clause (1) or (2) above
in respect of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Stock Merger Consideration received by the
undersigned at the Effective Time and (d) after a period of three hundred sixty (360) days after
the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions imposed by this Letter Agreement shall no
longer apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if a Parent Acceleration Event occurs prior to
the date that is one hundred eight (180) days after the Effective Time (such date, the “Six Month
Anniversary”), the restrictions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above will continue to apply to
the Stock Merger Consideration
except that (y) for a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time, the undersigned may take any such action
referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above in respect of up to fifty percent (50%) of the Stock
Merger Consideration received by the undersigned at the Effective Time and (z) after the Six Month
Anniversary, the restrictions imposed by this Letter Agreement shall no longer apply, and (B) if a
Parent Acceleration Event occurs after the Six Month Anniversary, the restrictions imposed by this
Letter Agreement shall lapse immediately upon the occurrence of such Parent Acceleration Event.
“Parent Acceleration Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if, at any time during the
applicable period, both (1) the closing sale price per share for shares of Parent Common Stock (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) on the New York Stock Exchange for any 20 trading days (which need
not be consecutive) during a consecutive 30 calendar day period shall exceed 120% of the Parent
Average Stock Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (2) Parent shall issue any shares of
Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in connection with any financing
transaction, including any private placement or public offering.
The restrictions imposed by this Letter Agreement shall not apply to the transfer or
disposition of the Stock Merger Consideration (1) as a bona fide gift, (2) to any trust for the
direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned in a
transaction not involving a disposition for value, (3) to any corporation, partnership, limited
liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held by
the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned in a transaction not involving a
disposition for value, (4) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the
legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned, (5)
as a distribution to partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned in a transaction not
involving a disposition for value or (6) to any affiliate of the undersigned or any investment fund
or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned in a transaction not involving a
disposition for value; provided that, in each case, the transferee, distributee or donee agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Letter Agreement to the same extent as if a party hereto.
For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood,
marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. Additionally, any discretionary waiver or
termination of the restrictions set forth in this Letter Agreement by Parent shall apply pro rata
to all Company Stockholders subject to substantially similar letter agreements entered into in
connection with the Merger, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parent, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the
registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to
make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this
Letter Agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and
authority to enter into this Letter Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be
conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns,
heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
The undersigned understands that the Parent is relying upon this Letter Agreement in entering
into and consummating the Merger. The undersigned further understands that this Letter Agreement is
irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns.
This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
