that are due MRC in such royalty period, provided that in no event shall the royalty payments to MRC under Paragraph 35 be reduced by more than [*] in any royalty period. 
  

	36.	MRC acknowledges that pursuant to the foregoing license, Indevus may use the Trial Data or any part of it in the following ways: 

  

	 	(a)	for research and development purposes; 

  

	 	(b)	Indevus may disclose the Trial Data or any part of it to any third party with whom Indevus is considering entering into negotiations in respect of a licensing agreement or similar

 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
  
 This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the
            day of             ,
20            (“Agreement”), by and between Indevus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and
            (“Indemnitee”): 
  
 WHEREAS, recently, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve both privately and publicly-held corporations as directors, officers, or
in other capacities, unless they are provided with better protection from the risk of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the current impracticability of obtaining adequate insurance and the
uncertainties related to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has determined that the ability to attract and retain such persons is in the
best interests of the Corporation’s stockholders and that such persons should be assured that they will have better protection in the future; and 
  
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Corporation to obligate itself contractually to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, so that such persons will serve or continue to serve the Corporation free from undue concern that they will not be adequately indemnified; and 
  
 WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation (the “Certificate”); any rights granted under the Certificate and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto shall not be deemed to be a substitute therefor nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

  
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee may serve, continue to serve and to take
on additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
  
 Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: 
  
 (a) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the
Corporation of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule l4A of Regulation l4A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Act”), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such
term is used in Sections 

 
13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board in office immediately prior to such person
attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Corporation is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which members of the Board in office immediately prior to such
transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new
director whose election or nomination for election by the Corporation’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board. 
  
 (b)
“Corporate Status” means the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or any majority owned subsidiary or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation. 
  
 (c) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which
indemnification is sought by Indemnitee. 
  
 (d)
“Expenses” means all attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all
other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding. 
  
 (e) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law
firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Corporation or Indemnitee in any other matter material to either such party, or (ii) any
other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. 
  
 (f) “Proceeding” means any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation,
administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or any inquiry, hearing or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or
proceeding, except one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement to enforce his rights under this Agreement. 
  

 -2- 

 Section 2. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from
any position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), without affecting the indemnification hereunder, except as specifically provided in this agreement. 
  
 Section 3. Indemnification - General. The Corporation shall
indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The
rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 4. Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Indemnitee shall be
entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the
right of the Corporation. Pursuant to this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any such
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. 
  
 Section 5. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he was, is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any such Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in any such Proceeding as to which
Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation if applicable law prohibits such indemnification unless the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending,
shall determine that indemnification against Expenses may nevertheless be made by the Corporation. 
  
 Section 6. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf
in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in 

  

 -3- 

 
connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For the purposes of this Section and without limiting the foregoing, the termination of
any claim, issue or matter in any such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
  
 Section 7. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to
the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
  
 Section 8. Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall advance
all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within twenty days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether
prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding, and reasonably evidencing the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee provided that Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. 
  
 Section 9. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. 
  
 (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding, and for the duration thereof, Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such
documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Upon receipt of any such request for indemnification, the Board
shall be advised in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
  
 (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto, if the Indemnitee
is a director or officer at the time of such determination, shall be made in such case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board or the
stockholders, in which case in the manner provided for in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9(b)) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have
occurred, (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, or even if such quorum is obtainable, if such quorum of
Disinterested Directors so directs, either (x) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (y) by the stockholders of the Corporation, as determined by such quorum of
Disinterested Directors, or a quorum of the Board, as the case may be, or (C) by a committee of Disinterested Directors, designated by a majority vote of such directors even though less than a quorum; or (iii) as provided in
Section 10(b) of this Agreement. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within twenty (20) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person,
persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance 

  

 -4- 

 
request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the
Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Corporation hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
  
 (c) If required, Independent Counsel shall be selected as follows:
(i) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Corporation shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of Independent Counsel so selected; or (ii) if
a Change of Control shall have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event (i) shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to
the Corporation advising it of the identity of Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Corporation, as the case may be, may within 7 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the
Corporation or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the grounds that Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as
defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and
until a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and
not objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, or other court of competent jurisdiction, for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Corporation or Indemnitee to
the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so
resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9(b) hereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with
its actions pursuant to this Agreement, and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 9(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon
the due commencement date of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable
standards of professional conduct then prevailing). 
  

 -5- 

 Section 10. Presumption and Effects of Certain Proceedings. 
  
 (a) If a Change of Control shall have occurred, in making a determination
with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for
indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to
that presumption. 
  
 (b) If the person, persons or entity
empowered or selected under Section 9 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, the requisite
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary
to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be
extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith require(s) such additional time for the obtaining or
evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be
made by the shareholders pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request for such determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the shareholders
for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within 75 days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of shareholders is called within 15 days after such receipt for the purpose of
making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within 60 days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent
Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 11. Remedies of Indemnitee. 
  
 (a)
In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request
for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is
not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled
to an adjudication in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, or 

  

 -6- 

 
in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his
option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator in Delaware. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first
has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 11(a). The Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
  
 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to
Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or arbitration on the
merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. If a Change of Control shall have occurred in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section, the Corporation shall have the burden of
proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 
  
 (d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section, seeks a judicial
adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to enforce, his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any and
all expenses (of the kinds described in the definition of Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or
arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately
prorated. 
  

 -7- 

 Section 12. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation; Settlement of
Claims. 
  
 (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive
advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Corporation, any
agreement, a vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under
the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, applicable law, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 13 herein shall be effective as to any Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such termination and he shall continue to be fully indemnified for
such actions or omissions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies (a “D&O Policy”) providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the
Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Corporation, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance
with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies. 
  
 (c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to
all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such
rights. 
  
 (d) The Corporation shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 
  
 (e) The Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this
Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Corporation’s written consent, provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the Corporation shall be liable for indemnification of
Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s
written consent. The Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the Corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the
defense of such action; the Corporation’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Proceeding by the Corporation was barred by this Agreement. 
  

 -8- 

 Section 13. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the
later of (i) five (5) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Corporation; or (b) the final termination of all pending Proceedings in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder
and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors
and administrators. 
  
 Section 14. Severability. If
any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and
(b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 
  
 Section 15. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Except as provided in Section 11(d), Indemnitee shall not
be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by him against the Corporation. 
  
 Section 16. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the
existence of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 17. Headings.
The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof. 
  
 Section 18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding
unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver. 
  

 -9- 

 Section 19. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Corporation in
writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder.

  
 Section 20. Notices. All notices, requests,
demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom such notice or other communication shall have been directed, or
(ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:
