Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 5, 2012, West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with a group of institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Purchasers purchased $42,000,000 3.67% Series A Senior Notes due July 5, 2022 (“Series A Notes”), $53,000,000 3.82% Series B Senior Notes due July 5, 2024 (“Series B Notes”) and $73,000,000 4.02% Series C Senior Notes due July 5, 2027 (“Series C Notes” and, together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”) from the Company. The Notes were purchased at a purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount.

The Purchasers of the Notes were Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., Aviva Life and Annuity Company and certain of its affiliates, AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and certain of its affiliates, Jackson National Life Insurance Company, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York, Life Insurance Company of the Southwest, Metlife Alico Insurance K.K., MONY Life Insurance Company, Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, United of Omaha Life Insurance Company, Nationwide Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation, The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company, Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company and Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society. The Prudential Insurance Company of America and certain of its affiliates, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and an affiliate of Mutual of Omaha are existing noteholders of the Company.

The Notes are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Company’s other senior unsecured debt. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually on the 5th day of January and July of each year, commencing on January 5, 2013, until the principal amount of the Notes becomes due and payable. The unpaid principal amount of the Notes will be due on July 5, 2022 in respect of the Series A Notes, July 5, 2024 in respect of the Series B Notes and on July 5, 2027 in respect of the Series C Notes. The Company may, at any time, prepay amounts due under the Notes in an amount not less than $1,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, subject to payment of a make-whole amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), the Company will be obligated to offer to repurchase not less than all of the Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains financial covenants that prevent the Company at any time from having Priority Debt in excess of 25% of Consolidated Total Capitalization and that require the Company to maintain, for the period of the four most recent consecutive fiscal quarters, a ratio of Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense of at least 2.50 to 1.0 and a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of no greater than 3.50 to 1.0 (as all such terms are defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements, and negative covenants including limitations on transactions with affiliates, liens, sales of assets, mergers and consolidations, entry into new lines of business and designation of unrestricted subsidiaries.

Certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that:

Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority .

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

Section 5.2. Authorization, Etc .

(a) This Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) The Subsidiary Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto, and the Subsidiary Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3. Disclosure.

The Company, through its agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated June 7, 2012 (the “ Memorandum ”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum (other than the projections set forth therein), the documents, certificates or other writings identified in Schedule 5.3 (including written answers to investor questions) by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, in each case, delivered to the Purchasers prior to June 19, 2012 (this Agreement, the Memorandum and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements being referred to, collectively, as the “ Disclosure Documents ”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. All projections provided by or on behalf of the Company are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions, all of which are believed to be reasonable in light of the conditions known to the Company which existed at the time such projections were made, were prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, and reflect as of the date of such projections and the date hereof the good faith estimate of the Company of the results of operations and other information projected therein (it being understood that projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and that no assurance can be given that such projections will be realized). Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2011, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates .

Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days. If the holders of greater than or equal to 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it, any Controlled Entity or director or officer of the Company pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.8. Make-Whole Amount .

The term “ Make-Whole Amount ” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“ Called Principal ” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“ Discounted Value ” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“ Reinvestment Yield ” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.

In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“ Remaining Average Life ” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“ Remaining Scheduled Payments ” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“ Settlement Date ” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 9.2. Insurance.

Within ten (10) days following any designation described above, the Company will deliver to each holder of Notes a notice of such designation accompanied by a certificate signed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company certifying compliance with all requirements of this Section 9.6 and setting forth all information required in order to establish such compliance.

Section 9.7. Notes to Rank Pari Passu .

The Notes and all other obligations under this Agreement of the Company are and at all times shall remain direct and unsecured obligations of the Company ranking pari passu as against the assets of the Company with all other Notes from time to time issued and outstanding hereunder without any preference among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future unsecured Senior Debt (actual or contingent) of the Company.

Section 10.2. Limitation on Liens .

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset (including, without limitation, any document or instrument in respect of goods or accounts receivable) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary, whether now owned or held or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits (unless it makes, or causes to be made, effective provision whereby the Notes will be equally and ratably secured with any and all other obligations thereby secured, such security to be pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and, in any such case, the Notes shall have the benefit, to the fullest extent that, and with such priority as, the holders of the Notes may be entitled under applicable law, of an equitable Lien on such property), except:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company or any Subsidiary to measure an item of Debt using fair value (as permitted by the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (Topic 820) or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary, each Purchaser hereby agrees that in the event that there is a change in GAAP, from that in effect on the date of this Agreement, and solely as a result of that change any of the covenants in Section 10 become materially more or less restrictive with respect to compliance therewith by the Company, the Company will furnish each holder of Notes with a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the effective date of such change in GAAP and describing in reasonable detail how such change affects the financial computations required to be made with respect to any such covenants. Upon the delivery and receipt of any such certificate, the Company and the holders of Notes shall negotiate in good faith to amend the relevant covenant levels so that the effect of such change in GAAP, from that in effect on the date of this Agreement, will be negated. If the Company and the Required Holders are unable to agree on appropriate amendments within 60 days of commencing negotiations, the Company will, for purposes of this Agreement, continue to comply with the covenants in Section 10 on the basis of GAAP in effect as of the date of this Agreement and shall provide appropriate reconciliations with respect thereto in connection with each Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a). No Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred up to the end of the aforementioned 60 days or, if no appropriate amendments are agreed upon, at any time while the Company is in compliance with the relevant covenants on the basis of GAAP in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 22.4. Severability .

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.5. Construction .

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 22.6. Counterparts .

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.7. Governing Law .

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial .

(a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c) Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS.

In furtherance of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall exist, all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall forthwith become due and payable without notice, regardless of whether the acceleration of the Notes shall be stayed, enjoined, delayed or otherwise prevented.

(i) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of the Company or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Company in respect thereof;

(j) any stay (except in connection with a pending appeal), valuation, appraisal, redemption or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force that, but for this waiver, might be applicable to any sale of property of such Guarantor made under any judgment, order or decree based on the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes or this Guaranty, and such Guarantor covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any such law; and

2.5.	Marshaling; Invalid Payments.

Each Guarantor consents and agrees:

(b) that, to the extent that the Company or any Guarantor makes a payment or payments to any Noteholder, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required, for any of the foregoing reasons or for any other reason, to be repaid or paid over to a custodian, trustee, receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or any other party or officer under any bankruptcy law, insolvency, reorganization, recapitalization or other debtor relief law, other common or civil law, or equitable cause or judgment, order or decision thereunder, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made and the Guarantors shall be primarily liable for such obligation.

2.6.	Immediate Liability.

Each Guarantor agrees that the liability of such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by any Noteholder or any other Person of whatever remedies such Noteholder or other Person may have against the Company, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or the enforcement of any Lien or realization upon any security such Noteholder or other Person may at any time possess.

2.7.	Primary Obligations.

This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of each Guarantor and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable joint and several guaranty of payment and performance and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any action by any Noteholder specified in Sections 2.3 or 2.8 hereof or any future changes in conditions, including, without limitation, change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the issuance or assumption of any obligations (including, without limitation, the Notes) of or by the Company, any Guarantor or any other guarantor, or with respect to the execution and delivery of any agreement (including, without limitation, the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement) of the Company or any other Person.

2.8.	No Reduction or Defense.

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the rights of any Noteholder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination, whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise, including, without limitation, claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense (other than any defense based upon the irrevocable payment and performance in full of the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes), set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no obligations of any Guarantor shall be discharged or impaired by:

(a) any default (including, without limitation, any Default or Event of Default), failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any obligations by any Guarantor, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates;

(b) any proceeding of, or involving, the Company, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary under any bankruptcy law, or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or winding-up or change in corporate constitution or corporate identity or loss of corporate identity of the Company, any Guarantor, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates;

(c) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of, or dissolution or change in the members or status of, the Company or any other Person;

(d) impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of the Company under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other instruments or agreements;

(e) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other instruments or agreements;

(g) any attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process or any other happening or event or reason, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes, assessments, expenses, indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not valid, incurred by or against any Person, corporation or entity, or any claims, demands, charges or Liens of any nature, foreseen or unforeseen, incurred by any Person, or against any sums payable under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes, so that such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable to make the payments herein provided; or

(h) any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not valid) of any court of any nation or of any political subdivision thereof or any Governmental Authority, or any other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere with, hinder or prevent, or in any way adversely affect, the performance by the Company of any of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes.

2.9.	No Election.

Each Noteholder shall, individually or collectively, have the right to seek recourse against each and every Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein for its joint and several obligations under this Guaranty. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of such Noteholder’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless such Noteholder has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by or on behalf of any Noteholder against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person under any document or instrument evidencing obligations of the Company or such other Person to or for the benefit of such Noteholder shall serve to diminish the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent that such Noteholder unconditionally shall have realized payment by such action or proceeding.

2.10.

Individual Noteholder Rights.

Each of the rights and remedies granted under this Guaranty to each Noteholder in respect of the Notes held by such Noteholder may be exercised by such Noteholder without notice to, or the consent of or any other action by, any other Noteholder.

2.11.

Enforcement; Application of Moneys Received.

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Company under or in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, or by the Guarantors under or in connection with this Guaranty, have been irrevocably paid in full, any Noteholder (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by such Noteholder (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantors shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same.

2.12.

Other Enforcement Rights.

Each Noteholder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights pursuant to this Guaranty by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy or insolvency, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for the recovery of judgment for the obligations hereby guaranteed or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.

2.13.

Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If any Noteholder shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy against any or all Guarantors under this Guaranty or otherwise and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to such Noteholder, then and in every such case each such Noteholder, the Company and the Guarantors shall, except as may be limited or affected by any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to its respective former position hereunder, and thereafter the rights and remedies of such Noteholder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

2.14.

Survival.

So long as the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid, the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall survive the transfer and payment of any Note and the payment in full of all the Notes.

2.15.

Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor hereby confirms that it is the intention of such Guarantor that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar applicable Federal or state law (all such statutes and laws are collectively referred to as “ Fraudulent Conveyance Laws ”). To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the amount as will, after giving effect to all rights to receive any collections from or payments by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor pursuant to Section 2.16 hereof, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. In the event that the liability of any Guarantor hereunder is limited pursuant to this Section 2.15 to an amount that is less than the total amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, then it is understood and agreed that the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations for which such Guarantor is liable hereunder shall be the last portion of the Guaranteed Obligations to be repaid.

2.16.

Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, each Guarantor agrees that, to the extent any Guarantor makes any payment hereunder on any date which, when added to all preceding payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, would result in the aggregate payments by such Guarantor exceeding its Percentage (as defined below) of all payments then or theretofore made by all Guarantors hereunder, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor whose aggregate payments then or theretofore made hereunder are less than its Percentage of all payments made by all Guarantors then or theretofore made hereunder, in an amount such that, after giving effect to any such contribution rights, each Guarantor will have paid only its Percentage of all payments by all Guarantors then or theretofore made hereunder. A Guarantor’s “ Percentage ” on any date shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the Adjusted Net Assets of such Guarantor on such date by (b) the sum of the Adjusted Net Assets of all Guarantors on such date. “ Adjusted Net Assets ” means, for each Guarantor on any date, the lesser of (i) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, but excluding liabilities under this Guaranty, of such Guarantor on such date and (ii) the amount by which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor on such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts, excluding debt in respect of this Guaranty, as they become absolute and matured.

2.17.

Subordination.

The payment of any amounts due with respect to any Debt of the Company or any other Person obligated in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations for money borrowed or credit received now or hereafter owed to the Guarantors is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, no Guarantor will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such Debt of the Company or any other such Person to any Guarantor until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Debt while any Guaranteed Obligations are still outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Noteholders and be paid over to the Noteholders on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

3.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Noteholders that:

3.1.	Affirmation of Representations and Warranties in Note Purchase Agreement.

3.2.	Economic Benefit.

Each Guarantor and the Company operate as separate businesses but are considered a single consolidated business group of companies for purposes of GAAP and are dependent upon each other for and in connection with their respective business activities and financial resources. The execution and delivery by the Noteholders of the Note Purchase Agreement and the maintenance of certain financial accommodations thereunder constitute an economic benefit to the Guarantors and the incurrence by the Company of the Debt under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes is in the best interests of the Guarantors. The board of directors or other management board of each Guarantor has deemed it advisable and in the best interest of such Guarantor that the transactions provided for in the Note Purchase Agreement and this Guaranty be consummated.

3.3.

Solvency.

The fair value of the business and assets of each Guarantor after taking into account the likelihood of any payment being required in respect of any contingent liability (including, without limitation, the Guaranteed Obligations), is in excess of the amount that will be required to pay its liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities on existing debts, as such liabilities may become absolute and matured), in each case both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes and including any rights of contribution from other parties. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty and the other Financing Documents, no Guarantor will be insolvent or will be engaged in any business or transaction, or about to engage in any business or transaction, for which it has unreasonably small capital, and no Guarantor has any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which it is, or will become, on or after the date of the Closing, indebted or to incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as they mature.

3.4.	Independent Credit Evaluation.

Each Guarantor has independently, and without reliance on any information supplied by any one or more of the Noteholders, taken, and will continue to take, whatever steps such Guarantor deems necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Company, and the Noteholders shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information at any time known to the Noteholders regarding such financial condition or affairs.

3.5.	No Representation By Noteholders.

None of the Noteholders nor any trustee or agent acting on its behalf has made any representation, warranty or statement to any Guarantor to induce any Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

3.6.

Survival.

All representations and warranties made by each Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof and may be relied upon by the Noteholders as being true and accurate until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and irrevocably paid.

4.	COVENANTS.

Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid, such Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement on its or their part to be performed or observed or that the Company has agreed to cause any Guarantor or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe.

5.	GUARANTORS ’ AGREEMENT TO PAY ENFORCEMENT COSTS, ETC.

Each Guarantor further agrees, as the primary guarantor and not merely as a surety, to pay to the Noteholders, on demand, all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses) incurred or expended by the Noteholders in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Section 5 from the time when such amounts become due until payment, whether before or after judgment, at the Default Rate, provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

6.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

This Guaranty shall bind the successors, assignees, trustees, and administrators of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Noteholders, and each of their respective successors, transferees, participants and assignees.

7.	AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

No amendment to, waiver of, or departure from full compliance with any provision of this Guaranty, or consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall be effective against any Noteholder directly affected thereby unless it is in writing and signed by authorized officers of such Guarantor and such Noteholder; provided, however , that any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No failure by the Noteholders to exercise, and no delay by the Noteholders in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Noteholders of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

8.	RIGHTS CUMULATIVE.

Each of the rights and remedies of the Noteholders under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all of their other rights and remedies under the Note Purchase Agreement and applicable law, and nothing in this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting any such rights or remedies.

9.	GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, ETC.

(a) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9( b ) SHALL LIMIT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY HAVE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION OR TO ENFORCE IN ANY LAWFUL MANNER A JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ONE JURISDICTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

10.	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, EACH OF THE NOTEHOLDERS, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF.

11.	FURTHER ASSURANCES.

Each Guarantor agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of any Noteholder, do all such things and execute all such documents as such Noteholder may consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of all Noteholders hereunder. Each Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that the Guarantor itself has established its own adequate means of obtaining from the Company on a continuing basis all information desired by such Guarantor concerning the financial condition of the Company and that such Guarantor will look to the Company and not to the Noteholders in order for such Guarantor to keep adequately informed of changes in the Company’s financial condition.

12.	SEVERABILITY.

Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.	SECTION HEADINGS.

Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.

14.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

15.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

Lionville, PA July 5, 2012 – West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.

Three series of Notes were issued as follows:

Series, coupon, maturity	Principal
Series 2012 A, 3.67% due July 5, 2022	$42 million
Series 2012 B, 3.82% due July 5, 2024	$53 million
Series 2012 C, 4.02% due July 5, 2027	$73 million

The proceeds from the issuance will reduce indebtedness under West’s revolving credit facility that was incurred to finance the purchase of $158.4 million aggregate principal amount of West’s 4.00% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2047, under a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) that was completed on June 5, 2012.

The weighted average of the coupon interest rates on the Notes is 3.87%.
