3. Payment of Award

	 	A.	 	     With respect to a Participant who is not eligible for Retirement, within 30 days
following the date on which an RSU becomes vested, the Company shall issue to the
Participant, subject to applicable withholding as discussed in Section 7 of this Agreement,
one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in satisfaction of each vested
RSU.
	 
	 	B.	 	     With respect to a Participant who is or becomes eligible for Retirement at any time
during the Vesting Period, the Company shall issue to the Participant, subject to
applicable withholding as described in Section 7 of this Agreement, one share of Common
Stock for each vested RSU within 30 days of the earliest of (i) the date the RSU otherwise
would have vested under Section 2.B. of this Agreement, (ii) the date on which the
Participant experiences a separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A),
subject to Section 3.C. of this Agreement or (iii) the date on which a Covered Transaction
that satisfies the definition of a “change in control event” under Section 409A occurs.
	 
	 	C.	 	     If you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A) you will be paid on the
earlier of (i) the date which is six months after you separate from service (within the
meaning of Section 409A) or (ii) your date of death. The preceding sentence will not
apply to any payments that are exempt from or are not subject to the requirements of
Section 409A. For avoidance of doubt, if payments would be made under Section 3.B.(i) or
Section 3.B.(iii) before the six month payment date on account of other than your
separation from service, such payment will be made under Section 3.B.(i) or Section
3.B.(iii) as applicable.

4. Cancellation and Rescission of Awards

          The Committee may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict this Award prior to
payment at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this
Agreement and the Plan, or if the Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity.

5. No Voting Rights/Dividends

          The Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon the Participant any equity interest or
ownership in the Company or any Affiliate prior to the date on which the Company delivers to the
Participant shares of Common Stock. The Participant is not entitled to vote any Common Stock by
reason of the granting of this Award or to receive or be credited with any dividends declared and
payable on any share of Common Stock underlying this Award prior to the payment date with respect
to such share.

6. Unfunded Status

          The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be contractual only. The Participant shall
rely solely on the unsecured promise of the Company and nothing herein shall be construed to give
the Participant or any other person or persons any right, title, interest or claim in or to any
specific asset, fund, reserve, account or property of any kind whatsoever owned by the Company or
any Affiliate.

7. Withholding

          If statutory withholding of taxes and/or social insurance is required at the time of vesting,
the Company will withhold from delivery to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock equal
in value to the statutory minimum amount required to be withheld. A similar amount of cash will be
paid by the Company to the applicable tax authorities. The number of shares to be withheld will be
calculated using the closing sales price of a share of Common Stock on the vesting date. Shares
(net of the number withheld for the payment of withholding taxes, if applicable) will be delivered
to the Participant’s stock plan account upon vesting in accordance with the Plan. The
Company may, in its discretion, permit Participants to make alternative arrangements for payment of
any such taxes and/or social insurance.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

GRANTED UNDER

BIOGEN IDEC INC. 2008 OMNIBUS EQUITY PLAN

1. Grant of Options

          Biogen Idec Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants on [     ] (the “Grant Date”)
to [                    ], an employee of the Company or its Affiliates (the “Participant”) pursuant to
the Biogen Idec Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “Plan”) a nonqualified stock option (this “Stock
Option”). Under this Stock Option, the Participant may purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms
herein provided, a total of [___] shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at $[                    ]
per Share, which is equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant of this Stock
Option. The latest date on which this Stock Option, or any part thereof, may be exercised is
[                    ] (the “Expiration Date”). The Stock Option evidenced by this Agreement is intended to
be, and is hereby designated, a nonqualified option, that is, an option that does not qualify as an
incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
from time to time. All initially capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the meaning
specified in the Plan, unless another meaning is specified herein.

2. Exercisability of Stock Option

          A. The Participant shall have a nonforfeitable right to exercise a portion of this Stock
Option (such portion, the vested portion) from and after the vesting dates described in this
Section 2, except as otherwise provided herein or determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. No portion of this Stock Option shall become vested on a vesting date unless the
Participant is then, and since the Grant Date has continuously been, employed by the Company or any
Affiliate. If the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company and its Affiliates for any
reason, any then outstanding and unvested portion of the Stock Option shall be automatically and
immediately forfeited and terminated, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

          B. This Stock Option will vest and become exercisable in the following installments:

[vesting schedule].

          C. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, upon termination of the Participant’s employment
with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason, any portion of this Stock Option that is not
then vested will promptly terminate and the remainder of this Stock Option will remain exercisable
until the earlier of: (i) six (6) months following the employment termination date and (ii) the
Expiration Date, except as follows:

         (1) any portion of this Stock Option held by the Participant immediately prior to the
Participant’s termination of employment on account of death or Disability will, to the
extent not vested previously, become fully vested upon the Participant’s death or Disability
and will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) one (1) year following the
Participant’s death or Disability and (ii) the Expiration Date; and

         (2) any portion of this Stock Option held by the Participant immediately prior to the
Participant’s Retirement, to the extent not vested previously, will become fully vested for
fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares covered by such unvested portion and for an
additional ten percent (10%) of the number of shares covered by such unvested portion for
every full year of employment by the Company and its Affiliates beyond ten (10) years, up to
the remaining amount of the unvested portion of this Stock Option. Any portion of this
Stock Option held by the Participant immediately prior to the Participant’s Retirement that
is exercisable immediately following the Participant’s Retirement will remain exercisable
until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Participant’s Retirement and (ii) the
Expiration Date. For
the avoidance of doubt, Retirement means the Participant’s termination from the Company
and its Affiliates after reaching age 55 with ten (10) full years of service with the
Company or its Affiliates, but

not including any termination For Cause or any termination
for insufficient performance, as determined by the Company and its Affiliates.

          D. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any portion of this Stock Option held by
the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferee immediately prior to the cessation of the
Participant’s employment For Cause shall terminate at the commencement of business on the date of
such termination.

3. Exercise of Stock Option

          A. Each election to exercise this Stock Option shall be made, in accordance with such rules
and procedures as the broker or other third-party administrator retained in connection with the
administration of the Plan shall prescribe or in accordance with such other procedures as the
Committee may determine. This election shall be made by the Participant or the Participant’s
executor, administrator, or legally appointed representative (in the event of the Participant’s
incapacity) or the person or persons to whom this Stock Option is transferred by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution (collectively, the “Option Holder”), accompanied by
payment in full as provided in the Plan. Subject to the further terms and conditions provided in
the Plan, the purchase price may be paid in whole or in part in cash or by means of a cashless
exercise by withholding that number of shares of common stock of the Company, $0.0005 par value
(“Common Stock”) whose Fair Market Value is equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Options
being exercised. In the event that this Stock Option is exercised by an Option Holder other than
the Participant, the Company will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and
until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Stock Option.

          B. On the Expiration Date on which a vested Stock Option is scheduled to terminate in
accordance with the terms of the Stock Option, if the Stock Option is unexercised and the per share
exercise price is less than the closing price of the Common Stock on that date, the vested Stock
Option will be deemed to have been exercised at the close of business on that date. As promptly as
practicable thereafter, the Company will deliver to the Participant that number of shares subject
to the vested Stock Option less the number of shares with a value that is equal to the aggregate
Fair Market Value of (1) the aggregate exercise price of the vested Stock Option and (2) the amount
necessary to satisfy any required withholding of taxes or social insurance contributions.

4. Cancellation and Rescission of Awards

          The Committee may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict this Stock Option
at any time prior to exercise if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable
provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, or if the Participant engages in any Detrimental
Activity.

5. No Voting Rights/Dividends

          This Stock Option shall not be interpreted to bestow upon the Participant any equity interest
or ownership in the Company or any Affiliate prior to the date on which the Company delivers to the
Participant shares of Common Stock. The Participant is not entitled to vote any Common Stock by
reason of the granting or vesting of this Stock Option or to receive or be credited with any
dividends declared and payable on any share of Common Stock underlying this Stock Option prior to
its exercise with respect to such share.

6. Withholding

          The Participant shall pay to the Company or make provision satisfactory to the Company for
payment of any taxes and/or social insurance contributions required by law to be withheld with
respect to the Stock Option prior to the date of exercise. If no such provision is made, the
Company and its Affiliates will deduct any such tax and/or social insurance obligations from any
payment of any kind due to the Participant hereunder or otherwise. To satisfy the withholding
obligations hereunder, the Participant may request the Company to withhold that number of shares
whose Fair Market Value is equal to the minimum tax and/or social insurance obligations required by
law to be withheld with respect to the Stock Option.
