Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 17, 2005, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Amgen Inc. (the “Company”) approved the amendment and restatement of the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2003) (the “Retirement and Savings Plan”), an amendment to the Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) and an amendment to the Amgen Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Supplemental Retirement Plan”).

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to (and restatement of) the forms of grant of stock option agreements for grants of such stock options under the Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated 1991 Equity Incentive Plan (the “1991 Plan”), the Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (formerly known as the Tularik Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, the “Acquired 1997 Plan”) and the Amgen Inc. Amended and Restated 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (formerly known as the Immunex Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan, the “1999 Plan,” and together with the 1991 Plan and the Acquired 1997 Plan, the “ Equity Plans”). The Compensation Committee also approved amendments to (and restatements of) the forms of restricted stock unit agreements for grants of such units to the Company’s employees under the 1991 Plan and the Acquired 1997 Plan.

A description of the amendment and restatement and the amendments, as the case may be, to each plan and the forms of stock option and restricted stock unit agreements follows below.

Amendment and Restatement of the Retirement and Savings Plan

The Retirement and Savings Plan is amended and restated effective January 1, 2006, except as otherwise stated therein, to incorporate amendments to the plan since its most recent amendment and restatement and to provide, among other things, that participants may roll after-tax contributions from other qualified plans into the plan and that the plan’s mandatory cash-out limit has been lowered to $1,000. Further, the amendment and restatement provides that rollover contributions will now be included in determining whether an account balance is valued at $1,000 for purposes of the mandatory cash out limit. The amendment and restatement incorporates the plan’s matching contribution formula (previously set by resolution of the Compensation Committee) of 100% of the first 5% of compensation that a participant elects to contribute to the plan and, as the plan is a safe harbor plan for nondiscrimination testing purposes, the amendment and restatement deletes all references to actual deferral percentage and average contribution percentage testing in compliance with the recently issued Treasury Regulations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(k)/401(m). The loan provisions have been revised to reflect certain ongoing administrative practices and to incorporate new changes. Among these changes are a limit of two loans per participant, the suspension of loan repayments for a period of up to one year if a participant is on a bona fide leave of absence and a prohibition on future loans for any participant who defaults on a plan loan. Finally, the hardship withdrawal provisions have been updated in accordance with the final 401(k)/401(m) regulations (including adding new safe harbor reasons for a hardship distribution) and military differential pay has been added to the definition of eligible compensation for purposes of the plan. The form of this plan as amended and restated is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1.

First Amendment to the Deferred Compensation Plan

The First Amendment to the Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 2002, clarifies the consistent intent and plan interpretation that members of the Company’s Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the plan. Since its adoption, the plan document has explicitly included members of the Board of Directors amongst those eligible to participate and this amendment incorporates into the plan the terms and conditions of such Board participation disclosed in the Company’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that had previously been a part of administrative practice. The form of this amendment is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.2.

First Amendment to the Supplemental Retirement Plan

The First Amendment to the Supplemental Retirement Plan, effective as of January 1, 2005, provides that a termination distribution will be made in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable after the first day of the plan year following the plan year in which the participant terminated employment, or such later date as may be required by applicable law. The form of this amendment is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.3.

Amended and Restated Forms of Stock Option Grant Agreements and Restricted Stock Unit Agreements

The amended and restated forms of stock option grant agreements and restricted stock unit agreements provide for varying vesting schedules of awards of stock options or restricted stock units as may be authorized by the Compensation Committee or other authorized Board committee.

The forms of the amended and restated stock option grant agreements and the restricted stock unit agreements for the 1991 Plan and the Acquired 1997 Plan are filed with this report as Exhibit 10.4 and 10.5, respectively. The forms of the amended and restated stock option grant agreements for the 1999 Plan are filed with this report as Exhibit 10.6

3.1	Eligibility to Participate. An individual hired or rehired as an Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant on the date he or she becomes an Eligible Employee or on any subsequent date.

3.2

Commencement of Participation. An individual who has satisfied the requirements for Plan participation and wishes to become a Participant shall follow the enrollment procedures prescribed by the Company and shall begin participating in the Plan as soon as administratively practicable after completion of the enrollment procedures.

3.3

Eligible Employee. An Eligible Employee is an Employee of a Participating Company who is described in (a) or (b) of this Section 3.3 and is not excluded under (c) of this Section 3.3. An individual’s status as an Eligible Employee shall be determined by the Company and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

(a)

Regular Full-Time Employee. Unless excluded under (c) below, an individual classified by a Participating Company as a “regular full-time employee” is an Eligible Employee.

(b)

Regular Part-Time Employee. Unless excluded under (c) below, an individual classified by a Participating Company as a “regular part-time employee” is an Eligible Employee.

(c)

Excluded Individuals. An individual shall not be an Eligible Employee for any period in which he or she is:

(1)

Included in a unit of employees covered by a collective-bargaining agreement that does not provide that such individual shall be eligible to participate in the Plan;

(2)

Not on the Payroll of a Participating Company, even though such person may be deemed, for any reason, to be an employee;

(3)

Subject to an oral or written agreement that provides that such individual shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan;

(4)

Employed by a non-U.S. subsidiary of the Company;

(5)

Classified by a Participating Company as a “leased employee” (within the meaning of Section 414(n) of the Code) with respect to such Participating Company or would be so classified but for the period-of-service requirement of Code Section 414(n)(2)(B);

(6)

Any person or entity (including a temporary employee, independent contractor, or consultant) for whom a Participating Company does not withhold federal income and employment taxes from such person’s or entity’s compensation; or

(7)

Classified as an intern or co-op on a Participating Company’s Payroll.

If, during any period, a Participating Company has not regarded an individual as an Employee and, for that reason, has not withheld employment taxes with respect to that individual, then that individual shall not be an Eligible Employee for that period, even in the event that the individual is determined, retroactively, to have been an Employee during all or any portion of that period.

3.4	Suspension of Membership. A Participant’s participation in the Plan shall be suspended for any period of time during which the Participant:

(a)

Neither receives nor is entitled to receive any Compensation, including (without limitation) any leave of absence without pay; or

(b)

Does not qualify as an Eligible Employee but remains a Participant.

A Participant shall not make Participant Elected Contributions or Catch-up Contributions or receive any allocation of Company Contributions with respect to a period of suspended participation, but a suspended Participant’s Accounts shall remain invested as a part of the Trust Fund and shall continue to share in the gains, income, losses and expenses of the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 11.4, participation is also suspended for 6 months if a Participant takes a Hardship Withdrawal. A Participant shall not make Participant Elected Contributions or Catch-up Contributions or receive any allocation of Matching Contributions with respect to a period of suspended participation following a Participant’s taking of a Hardship Withdrawal, but a suspended Participant’s Accounts shall remain invested as a part of the Trust Fund and shall continue to share in the gains, income, losses and expenses of the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE 4. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1	Participant Elected Contributions.

(a)

Each Participant whose participation in the Plan is not suspended may make Participant Elected Contributions to the Trust Fund pursuant to a Salary Deferral Agreement that specifies the amount of the contribution. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4 and Article 13, the amount of the Participant

Elected Contributions shall be equal to any whole percentage of his or her Compensation, as the Participant shall elect, except that this whole percentage shall not exceed 30 percent of his or her Compensation. Participant Elected Contributions shall be made through Payroll deductions from the Participant’s Compensation. If a Participant elects to make Participant Elected Contributions, the contributions shall be deemed to be employer contributions to the Plan for federal income tax purposes and, to the extent permitted, for purposes of other federal, state and local taxes. A Participant’s election to make Participant Elected Contributions shall constitute an election to have the Participant’s taxable salary or wages from the Participating Company reduced by the amount of the Participant Elected Contributions.

(b)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.1 to the contrary, the Company may establish uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures pursuant to which a specified percentage of such Eligible Employee’s Compensation is automatically contributed to the Plan as Participant Elected Contributions, unless such Eligible Employee affirmatively elects not to make Participant Elected Contributions.

4.2

Suspension, Change and Resumption of Participant Elected Contributions. A Participant may elect to suspend or change the rate of Participant Elected Contributions and, having elected to suspend Participant Elected Contributions, may elect to resume them. Any such election shall be made by following the procedures prescribed by the Company, which election shall be put into effect at the time prescribed by the Company’s procedures.

4.3

Contributions to the Trustee. The Participating Companies shall forward all Employee Contributions to the Trustee, for investment in the Trust Fund, as soon as administratively possible after they were withheld. Employee Contributions shall be credited to each Participant’s Accounts as provided in Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5.

4.4	Limits on Participant Elected Contributions. This Section briefly describes the rules that limit the amount of Participant Elected Contributions that may be contributed to a Participant’s Account for the Plan Year or calendar year.

(a)

Compensation Limit. A Participant may not make further Participant Elected Contributions for the Plan Year once his or her Compensation reaches the Compensation Limitation.

(b)

Annual Deferral Limit. As is described in detail in Article 13, a Participant’s Participant Elected Contributions, together with certain other elective deferrals, made during a calendar year may not exceed the Annual Deferral Limit, as defined in Section 13.7(b).

(c)

Section 415 “Annual Additions” Limit. As is described in detail in Article 13, if amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts during the Plan Year, other than earnings and Rollover Contributions, exceed the Section 415 “Annual Additions” limit, then Participant Elected Contributions may be returned to the Participant.

(d)

Prospective Limitations. In order to ensure compliance with the Annual Deferral Limit and the Annual Additions Limit, at any time during the Plan Year and at its sole discretion, the Company may require any Participant to discontinue or reduce the rate of his or her Participant Elected Contributions. The Company may require the discontinuance or reduction in the rate of Participant Elected Contributions even if its actions may prevent a Participant from making the maximum Participant Elected Contributions allowed by law.

(e)

Nondeductible and Mistaken Contributions. As is described in detail in Section 5.4(d), Participant Elected Contributions that are not deductible by the Company or that are made by mistake are returned to the Company.

4.5	Rollover Contributions. The Plan may receive Rollover Contributions on behalf of an Eligible Employee if the following conditions are satisfied:

(a)

The contribution is made entirely in the form of U.S. dollars; and

(b)

The Eligible Employee demonstrates to the Company’s satisfaction that the contribution is a qualifying rollover contribution under Section 402(c)(4), 403(a)(4), 457(e)(16) or 408(d)(3) of the Code.

If an Eligible Employee who is not a Participant makes a Rollover Contribution, then he or she shall be considered a Participant solely with respect to his or her Rollover Contributions Account until he or she becomes a Participant for all purposes pursuant to Article 3. The Plan will accept Rollover Contributions that include after-tax contributions, and such after-tax contributions shall be separately accounted for under the Plan.

A Rollover Contribution shall be paid to the Plan in a lump sum in cash and shall be credited to the Participant’s Rollover Account. The Participant may direct the investment of his or her Rollover Account by filing the specified investment election form in accordance with such rules as may be established by the Company.

4.6

Catch-up Contributions. All Participants who are eligible to make Participant Elected Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make Catch-up Contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Catch-up Contributions shall be equal to any whole percentage of the Participant’s Compensation, except that this whole percentage shall not exceed 50% of his or her Compensation. Catch-up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of Matching Contributions under Section 5.1 of the Plan. Such Catch-up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-up Contributions.

ARTICLE 5. COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

5.1	Matching Contributions.

(a)

Subject to the limitations of Section 4.4, Section 5.4 and Article 13, a Participating Company shall make Matching Contributions on behalf of each Participant who satisfies the eligibility requirements of Article 3. The Matching Contribution shall be an amount equal to 100% of the first 5% of Compensation that a Participant elects to contribute to the Plan as a Participant Elected Contribution (excluding any Catch-up Contributions) and shall be allocated as of each pay period. A Matching Contribution shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable after the pay period to which it relates and shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants as provided in Section 6.6.

(b)

If a Participant ceases making Participant Elected Contributions before the full amount of Matching Contributions allowed for in (a) above have been made on behalf of such Participant for a calendar quarter, a “true-up” Matching Contribution shall be made on behalf of such Participant if the Participant is employed by a Participating Company on the last day of the calendar quarter. The amount of the “true-up” Matching Contribution shall be the amount of the Matching Contribution allowed for on behalf of the Participant by the preceding paragraph less the amount of the Matching Contribution actually made on behalf of the Participant for the calendar quarter, subject to such administrative procedures as the Participating Company may establish to reflect Payroll periods that end on other than the last day of a calendar quarter. True-up Matching Contributions shall be made by each Participating Company as soon administratively practicable following the end of each calendar quarter, but in no event later than the time prescribed by law.

5.2	Nonelective Contributions.

(a)

Subject to the limitations in Section 5.4 and Article 13, a Participating Company shall make Nonelective Contributions on behalf of each Participant who satisfies the eligibility requirements of Article 3. The Nonelective Contribution shall be an amount equal to 5% of each Participant’s Compensation and shall be allocated as of each pay period. For purposes of allocating such Nonelective Contributions for any Plan Year or other allocation period based on an Employee’s Compensation, only Compensation attributable to periods in such Plan Year or other allocation period during which such Employee was an Eligible Employee shall be taken into account. Nonelective Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable following the close of the pay period to which it relates and shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants as provided in Section 6.7.

(b)

With respect to the Nonelective Contribution, which is intended to constitute a “nonelective contribution” under Code Section 401(k)(12) (i.e., a “safe harbor contribution”), the Company shall distribute within a reasonable period prior to each Plan Year, an “annual safe harbor notice” in accordance with the guidance

issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such notices. To the extent the Company elects to amend the Plan to freeze (or thereafter reinstate) Nonelective Contributions with respect to subsequent Plan Years, the Company shall timely notify Eligible Employees in accordance with the guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. At a minimum the annual safe harbor notice shall:

(1)

Be sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to inform the Eligible Employee of his or her rights and obligations under the Plan; and

(2)

Be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Employee Eligible to participate in the Plan, and shall describe:

(A)

the Nonelective Contribution formula used under the Plan;

(B)

any other contributions under the Plan (including the potential for discretionary matching contributions) and the conditions under which such contributions are made;

(C)

the type and amount of Compensation that may be deferred under the Plan;

(D)

how to make Participant Elected Contribution elections, including any administrative requirements that apply to such elections;

(E)

the periods available under the Plan for making Participant Elected Contributions;

(F)

withdrawal and vesting provisions applicable to contributions under the Plan; and

(G)

information that makes it easy to obtain additional information about the Plan (including an additional copy of the summary plan description) such as telephone numbers, addresses and, if applicable, electronic addresses, of individuals or offices from whom Employees can obtain such Plan information.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the limitations in Section 5.4 and Article 13, each Participating Company may, in its discretion, make a special Nonelective Contribution to each Participant who in his or her initial year of employment with the Participating Company may not make the maximum Participant Elected Contributions permitted under the Plan because in the same Plan Year he or she previously made pre-tax salary deferrals under a prior, unrelated employer’s qualified plan. The amount of the special Nonelective Contribution shall be determined by the Participating Company. Such Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated as a percent of each eligible Participant’s Compensation. The special Nonelective Contribution shall only be made on behalf of Participants that are Nonhighly Compensated Employees (as defined in Section 12.3).

5.3	Investment of Company Contributions. The Trustee shall invest the Company Contributions it receives in accordance with Section 6.2.

5.4	Limits on Company Contributions. This Section briefly describes the rules that limit the amount of Company Contributions that may be contributed to a Participant’s Account for the Plan Year.

(a)

Compensation Limit. A Company Contribution that is expressed as a percentage of a Participant’s Compensation may not be based on Compensation in excess of the Compensation Limit in effect for the Plan Year.

(b)

Section 415 “Annual Additions” Limit. As is described in detail in Article 13, if amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts during the Plan Year, other than earnings and Rollover Contributions, exceed the limitation on Annual Additions, then Company Contributions may be returned to the Participant.

(c)

Prospective Limitations. In order to ensure compliance with the Annual Additions Limit, at any time during the Plan Year and at its sole discretion the Company may reduce or discontinue allocations of Matching Contributions and/or Nonelective Contributions, which are not intended to be safe harbor contributions, to any Participant’s Account. The Company may implement this reduction or discontinuance of allocations of Company Contributions even if its action may prevent a Participant from receiving the maximum allocations to his or her Account allowed by law.

(d)

Nondeductible or Mistaken Contributions. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, Company Contributions, Participant Elected Contributions and Catch-up Contributions are conditioned upon their deductibility under Section 404 of the Code and the qualification of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. If the deductibility of a Company Contribution, Participant Elected Contribution or Catch-up Contribution is denied, the amount for which a deduction is disallowed (reduced by any losses incurred with respect to such amount) shall be returned to the Participating Companies or the Participant, respectively, within one year after the disallowance of the deduction. If a Company Contribution, Participant Elected Contribution or Catch-up Contribution is made to the Plan by reason of a mistake of fact, the amount contributed by reason of such mistake (reduced by any losses incurred with respect to such amount) shall be returned to the Participating Companies or the Participant, respectively, within one year after the date such contribution was made.

ARTICLE 6. INVESTMENTS AND PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS

6.1

Investment Funds. All contributions to the Plan made pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 shall be paid to the Trust Fund established under the Plan. All such contributions shall be invested as provided under the terms of the Trust Agreement, which may include provision for the separation of assets into separate Investment Funds, including a Company Stock Fund.

6.2

Investment of Contributions. Employee Contributions and Company Contributions shall be apportioned among one or more of the Investment Funds as the Participant may specify in increments of one percent of the total (totaling 100 percent) according to the procedures prescribed by the Company; provided, however, that a Participant may direct a maximum of 50 percent of Employee Contributions, Rollover Contributions and Company Contributions to be invested in the Company Stock Fund. In the event that a Participant fails to make an investment election, contributions allocated to his or her Accounts shall be invested in the default Investment Fund, which is currently the Fidelity Freedom Fund that is appropriate based on the Participant’s date of birth, until the Participant elects to invest his or her Accounts in a different manner. A Participant may elect to change the investment instructions with respect to future contributions in increments of one percent according to the procedures prescribed by the Company.

This Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of ERISA and Department of Labor Regulation Section 2550.404c-1, which means that the Company, the Trustee and other fiduciaries may be relieved of liability for any losses that are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a Participant or Beneficiary. In addition, at any time, the Fiduciary Committee may terminate the availability of any particular Fund or any of the Investment Funds or may choose to stop accepting the future investment of Employee or Company Contributions under such Funds.

6.3

Participant Elected Contributions Account. A Participant’s Participant Elected Contributions Account shall consist of his or her Participant Elected Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such Participant Elected Contributions Account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested.

6.4

Catch-Up Contributions Account. A Participant’s Catch-Up Contributions Account shall consist of his or her Catch-Up Contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such Catch-Up Contributions Account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested.

6.5

Rollover Contributions Account. A Participant’s Rollover Contributions Account shall consist of his or her Rollover Contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such Rollover Contributions Account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested.

6.6

Matching Contributions Account. A Participant’s Matching Contributions Account shall consist of his or her Matching Contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such Matching Contributions Account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested. Matching Contributions, determined under Section 5.1, shall be allocated to the Matching Contributions Account of each Participant who is entitled to a Matching Contribution pursuant to Section 5.1. Unless otherwise provided under Section 5.1, allocations of Matching Contributions shall be made as of each Payroll period.

6.7

Nonelective Contributions Account. A Participant’s Nonelective Contributions Account shall consist of his or her Nonelective Contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such Nonelective Contributions Account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested. The Nonelective Contribution of a Participating Company, determined under Section 5.2, shall be allocated to the Nonelective Contributions Accounts of each Participant who is an Eligible Employee of the Participating Company on the date as of which the Nonelective Contribution is allocated. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(a), the Nonelective Contribution of a Participating Company shall be allocated to each Participant entitled to an allocation of such Nonelective Contribution as a percent of such Participant’s Compensation, while he or she was an Eligible Employee. Allocations of Nonelective Contributions shall be made as of each Payroll period.

6.8

Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account. A Participant’s Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account shall consist of his or her qualified nonelective contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such qualified nonelective contributions Account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested.

6.9

Qualified Matching Contributions Account. A Participant’s Qualified Matching Contributions Account shall consist of his or her qualified matching contributions, adjusted to reflect transfers and withdrawals from such qualified matching contributions account and earnings, gains, expenses and losses attributable to the Investment Fund(s) in which the contributions are invested.

6.10

Transfers Among Investment Funds. A Participant may elect to reapportion the values of his or her Accounts among Investment Funds (in increments of one percent) by properly following procedures prescribed by the Company. The Company’s procedures by which a Participant may elect to transfer amounts into or out of the Company Stock Fund shall be drafted to provide notice to Participants if such an election would cause a Participant to have a purchase or sale of Company Stock which is not exempt from potential short-swing trading profits liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act by virtue of the application of Rule 16b-3 (promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) as in effect from time to time. As of the effective date of this amended and restated Plan, such liability may arise if such election is made by a Participant (or successor in interest) who is an officer, director, or greater than 10% stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) within six months following the date of the most recent election made under any employee

benefit plan sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate if (a) both elections involved either an intra-plan transfer involving a fund invested in the Company’s equity securities or a cash distribution from the employee benefit plan to the Participant (or successor in interest) funded by a volitional disposition of the Company’s equity securities; (b) the prior election involved an acquisition of the Company’s equity securities if the current election involves a disposition of the Company’s equity securities, or vice versa; and (c) both elections are made at the volition of the Participant (or successor in interest) not in connection with the Participant’s death, disability, retirement, termination of employment, or an election which is required to be made available under a provision of the Code. Such a volitional election (considering without regard as to whether or not any similar elections have occurred within six months of such an election) shall be described as a “Discretionary Transaction.” Transfers into the Company Stock Fund shall be limited so that, after any such transfer, no more than 50% of the value of the Participant’s aggregate Account is invested in the Company Stock Fund. For purposes of carrying out Investment Fund transfers, the value of the Accounts shall be determined as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the Participant’s transfer election.

6.11

Allocation of Investment Income. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Valuation Date, and within 90 days after the removal or resignation of the Trustee, the Trustee shall value the assets of the Trust Fund on the basis of fair market value as of the Valuation Date (or the day of resignation or removal of the Trustee if it is not a Valuation Date). Where separate Investment Funds have been established pursuant to Section 6.1, the Trustee shall value each such Investment Fund separately.

6.12

Account Statements. As soon as practicable after the last day of each Plan Year (and after such other dates as the Company may determine), there shall be prepared and delivered to each Participant a written statement showing the fair market value of his or her Accounts as of the applicable date and such other information as the Company may determine.

ARTICLE 7. VESTING OF PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS

7.1

100 Percent Vesting. Except for those Participants whose employment with a member of the Affiliated Group was terminated on or prior to December 31, 2001, a Participant’s interest in all of his or her Participant Elected Contributions Account, Qualified Matching Contributions Account, Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account, Rollover Contributions Account, Matching Contributions Account and Nonelective Contributions Account shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

7.2

Forfeitures. If a Participant ceased to be an Employee prior to January 1, 2002, at a time when he or she was not yet fully vested in his or her Nonelective Contributions Account or Matching Contributions Account, the unvested amount of his or her Nonelective Contributions Account and Matching Contributions Account constituted a Forfeiture for the Plan Year in which employment terminated, provided that the Participant requested a distribution of the vested amount in his or her Accounts. Such Forfeitures were applied to reduce Nonelective Contributions and Matching Contributions for the Plan Year. If such a Participant is rehired as an Employee prior to incurring a Five-Year Break in

Service, then the amount of the Forfeiture shall be restored, without earnings, and such Participant shall have a fully vested interest in the restored amount. If the Participant is rehired after incurring a Five-Year Break in Service such reemployment shall have no effect on the prior Forfeiture and such amount shall be permanently forfeited. To the extent that Forfeitures for the Plan Year in which the Participant is rehired are insufficient to reinstate the rehired Participant’s Forfeiture, then the appropriate Participating Company shall make a special contribution in the amount required to reinstate the Forfeiture.

In the event the Participant’s service with the Affiliated Group terminated prior to January 1, 2002 and no payment of the Participant’s nonforfeitable interest was made, the forfeitable amount of the Participant’s interest shall be permanently forfeited after the Participant has incurred a Five-Year Break in Service, as of a Valuation Date determined in a uniform and consistent manner by the Company. In the event the Participant returns to the service of the Affiliated Group before incurring a Five-Year Break in Service, the Participant’s Accounts shall become fully vested upon such return to service.

7.3

Determination of Account Balance. Whenever a Participant or his or her Beneficiary is entitled to receive the entire amount or a percentage of his or her Account balance, the amount of such balance (including the value of any Company Stock held in his or her Account) shall be the amount in (or value of) such Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of distribution.

7.4

Lost Participant or Beneficiary. In the event that a Beneficiary or Participant cannot be located at the time a benefit is payable from the Plan to him or her, then at the close of the 12-consecutive-month period following the date on which the amount became payable, the amount shall be treated as a Forfeiture. Such a Forfeiture shall nevertheless be reinstated, without interest, if the Participant or Beneficiary subsequently is located and makes a valid claim for the benefit.

ARTICLE 8. DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFIT

8.1

General Rule. All distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the minimum distribution incidental death benefit requirement of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G), and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9. Such regulations are incorporated in the Plan by reference and shall supersede any other provision of the Plan to the contrary.

8.2	Events Permitting Distribution. No distribution may be made of any amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts except:

(a)

After the Participant’s death, Disability or termination of employment for any other reason;

(b)

On or after termination of the Plan, provided that (1) neither the Participating Company nor any Affiliate of the Participating Company maintains a successor

defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan) and (2) the Participant’s distribution is made in the form of a lump sum; or

(c)

As required by applicable law or in connection with a QDRO, as provided in Article 9, or an in-service withdrawal, as provided in Article 11.

8.3	Time of Distribution.

(a)

Except as provided in Sections 8.5, 8.7 and 8.8, and unless a Participant elects otherwise, the distribution of a Participant’s Plan Benefit under Section 8.6 shall occur or commence not later than sixty (60) days after the close of the Plan Year in which occurs the later of (1) the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age or (2) the Participant’s termination of employment.

(b)

A Participant who terminates employment prior to Normal Retirement Age may elect to receive or commence receipt of his or her Plan Benefit at any reasonable time after termination of employment, but in no event later than the Required Beginning Date (as defined in Section 8.5). A Participant’s distribution request will be processed as soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of such request. If the Participant terminates employment on or after Normal Retirement Age, distribution of his or her Plan Benefit shall commence not later than one (1) year after the end of the Plan Year in which such termination of employment occurs unless the Participant elects to defer payment to a future date, but not later than his or her Required Beginning Date. An election under this Subsection must be made in writing during the ninety (90) day period before the date the distribution is to occur or commence. Such election must not be made before the Participant receives a notice describing the material features of the Plan, explaining the optional forms of benefit available, and informing the Participant of his or her right (if applicable) to defer receipt of his or her distribution until his or her Required Beginning Date. Such notice shall be provided by the Company not less than thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days before the Participant’s distribution is to occur or commence; provided, however, such notice may be provided less than thirty (30) days before distribution is to occur or commence provided that the Participant is notified that he or she has at least thirty (30) days to consider the distribution options and the Participant elects to waive the thirty (30) day period. The notice shall be furnished in writing or through electronic medium reasonably accessible to the Participant.

8.4	Amount of Plan Benefit. A Participant’s Plan Benefit shall consist of the Participant’s entire interest in his or her Accounts.

8.5

Latest Time of Distribution. In no event shall a Participant’s Plan Benefit be distributed later than his or her “Required Beginning Date,” which is April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which occurs the later of (a) the Participant’s attainment of age seventy and one-half (70¹/2), or (b) the Participant’s retirement (within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)(9)); provided, however, if the Participant is a five-percent owner (as

defined in Section 416(i) of the Code) with respect to the Plan Year during which the Participant attains age 70¹/2, clause (b) shall not apply.

8.6	Forms of Distribution.

(a)

A Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed in any of the following forms that he or she elects:

(1)

A single sum cash distribution;

(2)

A single sum distribution in full shares of Company Stock (with the value of any fractional share paid in cash);

(3)

A single sum distribution paid in a combination of cash and full shares of Company Stock; or

(4)

Cash installments paid at least annually over a period certain not exceeding the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint life expectancy of the Participant and his or her designated Beneficiary. All life expectancies shall be determined not later than the date when payments commence and shall not be redetermined thereafter. The amount of each installment payment shall be determined by dividing the remaining years in the period certain by the value of the Participant’s Account.

(b)

If, by the time for the distribution of a Participant’s Plan Benefit in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 8, the Participant has not made any election as to the form of the distribution, payment of his or her Plan Benefit shall be made in the form of a single sum cash distribution.

(c)

To the extent that a distribution is to be made in a number of shares of Company Stock that exceeds the number of shares in the Participant’s Account under the Company Stock Fund, amounts in one or more other Investment Funds comprising the Participant’s Account shall be applied to purchase the required additional shares of Company Stock at their fair market value at the time of purchase.

(d)

The Company shall establish procedures to notify a Participant (or successor in interest) if any election regarding the form or timing of distribution of benefits from the Plan involving the Company Stock Fund constitutes a Discretionary Transaction (as defined in Section 6.10) which may trigger short-swing trading profits liability for the Participant (or successor in interest) under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. In such an event, the person making the election shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to modify, delay, or revoke such an election.

8.7	Time of Distribution of Death Benefit. If a Participant dies before commencing his or her Plan Benefit, then the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the Plan Benefit pursuant to this Section 8.7. Section 8.10 provides that the surviving spouse of a

married Participant shall be his or her Beneficiary, unless the Participant, with the spouse’s consent, has otherwise elected prior to his or her death. The Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum no later than December 31 of the calendar year following the year of the Participant’s death, subject to the following:

(a)

If the Beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving spouse, then such surviving spouse may elect to defer distribution of the Participant’s Plan Benefit until a later date, but in no event later than the date that the Participant would have attained age 70¹/2.

(b)

If the Beneficiary is a child of the Participant who is under the age of 18 at the time of the Participant’s death, then such Beneficiary may elect to defer distribution of the Participant’s Plan Benefit until a later date, but in no event later than the earlier of the Beneficiary’s attainment of age 18 or December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Participant’s death.

If the Participant dies after commencing benefits but before all installments have been made, the Participant’s remaining Account balance shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the Participant’s death; provided, however, if the Beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving spouse, such surviving spouse may elect to continue to receive installments payable at the same times and in the same amounts as would have been payable to the Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant dies after commencing installments but before his or her entire Account has been distribution, the remaining portion of such Account will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used on the date of the Participant’s death.

8.8

Small Benefits: Lump Sum. Any other provision of this Article notwithstanding, effective as of March 28, 2005, if the value of a Participant’s entire Plan Benefit equals $1,000 or less (including a Plan Benefit of $0) before the first payment of the Plan Benefit is made, then the Plan Benefit shall be paid (or deemed paid if the Plan Benefit is $0) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Participant’s termination of employment to the Participant (or to his or her Beneficiary in the case of the Participant’s death) in a single lump sum in cash unless a Participant elects one of the following forms of payment: (a) a single sum distribution in full shares of Company Stock (with the value of any fractional shares paid in cash); (b) a single sum distribution paid in a combination of cash and full shares of Company Stock; or (c) a Direct Rollover (as defined in Section 8.9).

8.9

Direct Rollovers. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Company, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 8.9.

(a)

Definition of Eligible Retirement Plan. An Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a QDRO.

(b)

Definition of Eligible Rollover Distribution. An Eligible Rollover Distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: (1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10 years or more; (2) any distribution to the extent the distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; or (3) any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible rollover distribution and the Distributee may not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan. A distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because a portion of it consists of after-tax deposits, provided such portion may be rolled over only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for the amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion which is not so includible.

(c)

Definition of Distributee. A Distributee includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a QDRO are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

(d)

Definition of Direct Rollover. A Direct Rollover is a payment made by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

8.10

Beneficiary. Subject to Section 8.11, a Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person(s), estate or trust(s) so designated by the Participant. If the Participant has not made an effective designation of a Beneficiary, or if the named Beneficiary is not living when a distribution is to be made, then (a) the then-living spouse of the deceased Participant shall be the Beneficiary; or (b) if none, the then-living children of the deceased Participant

shall be the Beneficiaries in equal shares; or (c) if none, the then-living parents of the deceased Participant shall be the Beneficiaries in equal shares; or (d) if none, the then-living brothers and/or sisters of the deceased Participant shall be the Beneficiaries in equal shares; or (e) if none, the estate of the Participant shall be the Beneficiary. The Participant may change his or her designation of a Beneficiary from time to time. Any designation of a Beneficiary (or an amendment or revocation thereof) shall be effective only if it is made according to the procedures prescribed by the Company and is received by the Participating Company prior to the Participant’s death.

8.11

Spousal Consent Needed to Name a Nonspouse Beneficiary. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of a married Participant, any designation of a person other than his or her spouse as Beneficiary shall be effective only if the spouse consents in writing to the designation. The spouse’s consent shall be witnessed by a notary public or, if permitted by the Company, by a representative of the Plan. A consent to a designation of a particular Beneficiary, once given by the spouse, shall not be revocable by that spouse. The designation of a particular Beneficiary may not be changed without further spousal consent (unless the consent or a prior consent expressly permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the spouse). The spouse’s consent shall not be required if the Participant establishes to the Company’s satisfaction that the spouse’s consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located or because of other reasons deemed acceptable under applicable regulations. The Company may require such evidence of the right of any person to receive payment under this Section as the Company may deem advisable. The Company’s determination of the right under this Section of any person to receive payment shall be conclusive.

8.12	Determination of Marital Status. Whether a Participant is married shall be determined by the Company as of the date when distribution is to be made.

8.13

Incompetency. Whenever and as often as any person entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan shall be under a legal disability or, in the sole judgment of the Company, shall otherwise be unable to care for such distributions to the person’s own best interest and advantage, the Company, in the exercise of its discretion, may direct such distributions to be made in any one or more of the following ways:

(a)

directly to such person;

(b)

to such person’s spouse;

(c)

to such person’s legal guardian or conservator; or

(d)

to any other person to be held and used for such person’s benefit.

The decision of the Company shall, in each case, be final and binding upon all parties, and any distribution made pursuant to the power herein conferred on the Company shall, to the extent so made, be a complete discharge of the obligations under the Plan of the Participating Companies, the Trustee and the Plan Administrator with respect to such person.

ARTICLE 9. DISTRIBUTION TO AN ALTERNATE PAYEE UNDER A QDRO; FREEZING PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

9.1	Immediate Distribution.

(a)

Any distribution to an Alternate Payee of all or some portion of a Participant’s Accounts pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the order is determined to be a QDRO, if:

(1)

The QDRO specifies such time of distribution; or

(2)

The Alternate Payee has consented in writing to such time of distribution.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining the award to an Alternate Payee under a QDRO, the award to the Alternate Payee shall be derived solely from a portion of the Participant’s vested Accounts in the Plan as of the Valuation Date provided in the QDRO.

9.2

Alternate Payee Accounts. In all cases where Section 9.1 above is not applicable, separate “Alternate Payee Accounts” shall be established for the Alternate Payee at such time as the Company shall determine. The portion of each of the Participant’s Accounts that was assigned or made payable to the Alternate Payee by the QDRO shall be transferred to such Alternate Payee Accounts. The transfers to the Alternate Payee Accounts shall be made pro rata from the Participant’s Accounts. Alternate Payees may change the investment of their Alternate Payee Accounts pursuant to Section 6.10. Alternate Payees may not take loans or make withdrawals from their Alternate Payee Accounts under Articles 10 and 11. Alternate Payees may not make any contributions to their Alternate Payee Accounts.

9.3

Freezing Participant Accounts. As soon as practicable after the date the Plan Administrator receives credible information that a qualified domestic relations order, pursuant to Code Section 414(p) and ERISA Section 206(d)(3), may be forthcoming, the Plan Administrator shall freeze the relevant Participant’s Accounts for a reasonable period of time to permit the Participant and/or Alternate Payee to obtain a domestic relations order. As soon as practicable after the date the Plan Administrator receives a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall freeze the relevant Participant’s Accounts for a period of up to 18 months to allow for a determination of whether the domestic relations order meets the requirements of a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p) and ERISA Section 206(d)(3). To the extent that a Participant’s Accounts are frozen, no loans, withdrawals or distributions are permitted from such Accounts.

9.4

Death of Alternate Payee. In all cases, if an Alternate Payee dies prior to the time that Alternate Payee has received all or any portion of the benefits assigned to the Alternate Payee by a QDRO, the benefits shall be paid to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by Alternate Payee on forms provided by the Plan Administrator for this purpose. If Alternate Payee has not made an effective designation of Beneficiary or if the designated Beneficiary is not living when a distribution is to be made, the entire balance in his or her

Alternate Payee Accounts shall be distributed to his or her estate (unless the QDRO otherwise provides).

9.5

Distributions From Alternate Payee Accounts. Distributions to Alternate Payees from their Alternate Payee Accounts shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of completed distribution forms provided by the Plan Administrator for this purpose. Notwithstanding Section 8.6 of the Plan or any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, distributions to Alternate Payees shall only be made in the form of single sum distributions.

9.6	Expenses Related to QDRO. The Plan Administrator may elect, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, to charge any expenses related to a QDRO to Participant’s Accounts.

ARTICLE 10. LOANS

10.1

Amount of Loan. A Participant may obtain a cash loan from his or her Accounts if (a) he or she is an Employee who is not on a leave of absence at the time of the loan; (b) his or her Plan participation is not suspended pursuant to Section 3.4; and (c) he or she has not defaulted on a prior loan from the Plan. The minimum amount of any such loan shall be $1,000 at the time the loan is elected, and a Participant shall be limited to two outstanding loans at any one time. No loan shall be granted under the Plan if such loan, when aggregated with the Participant’s outstanding loans under any other qualified plans maintained by any member of the Affiliated Group, would exceed the lesser of:

(a)

$50,000, less the highest aggregate outstanding loan balance during the 12 month period ending on the day before the new loan is made, net of any repayments made on such aggregate balance during such 12 month period; or

(b)

One-half of the balances in the Participant’s Accounts.

10.2	Terms of Loans. A loan to a Participant shall be made on such terms and conditions as the Company may determine, provided that the loan shall:

(a)

Be evidenced by a promissory note signed by the Participant and secured by one-half of the value of his or her Accounts, to the extent vested (regardless of the amount of the loan or the source of the loan funds);

(b)

Bear a rate of interest equal to the prime rate plus one percentage point as published in The Wall Street Journal, determined as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter or such other rate as may be required by law for a Participant on a leave of absence due to qualified military service as defined in Code Section 414(u);

(c)

Provide for level amortization over its term with payments at monthly or more frequent intervals, as determined by the Company;

(d)

Provide for loan payments (1) to be withheld whenever possible through periodic Payroll deductions from the Participant’s compensation from any member of the Affiliated Group; or (2) to be paid by check or money order whenever Payroll withholding is not possible;

(e)

Provide for repayment in full on or before the earlier of (1) the date when the Participant severs from all employment with any member of the Affiliated Group; or (2) the date (A) five years after the loan is made or (B) 20 years after the loan is made if the loan is used to acquire a dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be used as the Participant’s principal residence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, loan repayments may be suspended under the Plan as permitted under Section 414(u) of the Code and the term of a Participant’s loan may be extended by the length of the Participant’s leave of absence due to qualified military service as defined in Code Section 414(u) in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 72(p) and the regulations thereunder. In addition, a Participant’s loan repayments may be suspended for a period of up to one year if the Participant is on a bona fide, unpaid leave of absence; however, the term of a Participant’s loan can not be extended by the length of his or her bona fide leave of absence;

(f)

Provide that a Participant may not receive any distribution from any of his or her Accounts under Article 8 or 11 until the loan obligation is repaid, except to the extent that all or any part of such distribution is used to repay the outstanding balance of the loan; and

(g)

Provide that a Participant’s Accounts may not be applied to the satisfaction of the Participant’s loan obligations before the Accounts become distributable under Article 8, unless the Company determines that the loan obligations are in default because a periodic payment is more than 90 days past due and takes such actions as the Company deems necessary or appropriate to cause the Plan to realize on its security for the loan. Such actions may include (without limitation) an involuntary withdrawal from the Participant’s Accounts, whether or not the withdrawal would be permitted under Article 11 on a voluntary basis, provided that an involuntary withdrawal attributable to Company Contributions made with respect to Plan Years that ended less than 24 months prior to the date of the withdrawal (adjusted to reflect any earnings, appreciation or losses attributable to Company Contributions) or attributable to Participant Elected Contributions shall be permitted only to the extent that the hardship requirements of Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) and of Sections 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(ii) and 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iii)(A) of the Treasury Regulations are met. The Company may take such other action as it deems necessary to recover the balance of a loan secured by the Participant’s Accounts. If a Participant’s loan obligations are in default, the Participant shall not be permitted to obtain a loan under the Plan thereafter.

10.3	Company Consent. The Company, in its sole discretion, may withhold its consent to any loan under this Article or may consent only to the borrowing of a part of the amount requested by the Participant. The Company shall act upon requests for loans in a uniform

and nondiscriminatory manner, consistent with the requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and related provisions of the Code.

10.4

Source of Loans. If a Participant requests and is granted a loan, a Loan Account shall be established for the Participant. The Loan Account shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Loan Fund. The amount of the loan shall be transferred to the Participant’s Loan Account from the Participant’s other Accounts and shall be disbursed from the Loan Account. Transfers from the Company Stock Fund shall be made in accordance with the requirements for exemption under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act if such a transfer would cause the Participant to incur short-swing trading profits liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The promissory note executed by the Participant shall be held by the Trustee (or by the Company as agent of the Trustee) and the promissory note shall be treated as an investment of the Participant’s Loan Account.

10.5	Disbursement of Loans. A Participant may request a loan by completing the loan request procedures prescribed by the Company. A loan shall be disbursed as soon as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Company (or its agent) receives the loan request (subject to the Company’s consent).

10.6	Loan Fees. A Participant who obtains a loan under this Article shall be required to pay such fees as the Company may impose in order to defray the cost of administering loans from the Plan.

10.7	Valuation Date. For purposes of this Article, the value of a Participant’s Accounts shall be determined as of a Valuation Date within a reasonable period, not generally to exceed 30 days, on or after the date on which the Company (or its agent) receives the prescribed loan request.

10.8

Loan Payments and Defaults. Principal and interest payments on a Participant’s loan shall be credited initially to the Participant’s Loan Account and shall be transferred as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter to the Participant’s other Accounts in the ratio specified by the Participant under Section 6.2 for the investment of future contributions. Any loss caused by nonpayment or other default on a Participant’s loan obligations shall be satisfied solely by that Participant’s Accounts. If a Participant defaults on a Plan loan, the Participant shall not be permitted to obtain a loan under the Plan thereafter.

ARTICLE 11. WITHDRAWALS WHILE EMPLOYED

11.1	Age 59 1/2 and Disability Withdrawals.

(a)

A Participant who is an Employee and who has attained age 59¹/2 may withdraw up to the full amount of his or her Accounts.

(b)

A Participant who is an Employee and who is Disabled may withdraw up to the full amount of his or her Accounts.

11.2	Hardship Withdrawals. A Participant who is an Employee may take a Hardship Withdrawal of all or any portion of his or her previously unwithdrawn Employee

Contributions and earnings thereon accrued prior to January 1, 1988. A Hardship Withdrawal may be made only if the Company determines that it is required on account of one or more of the following Hardships:

(a)

The construction or purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence of the Participant;

(b)

The payment of tuition, related educational fees and room and board, for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or the Participant’s spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, and for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B));

(c)

The payment of expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under Code Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income);

(d)

The payments for the burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, and for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Section 152(d)(1)(B));

(e)

The payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant’s principal residence, or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence;

(f)

The payment of expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of the adjusted gross income); or

(g)

A financial need that has been identified as a deemed immediate and heavy financial need in a ruling, notice or other document of general applicability issued under the authority of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

11.3

Amount of a Hardship Withdrawal. The maximum amount of a Hardship Withdrawal is the amount necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need caused by the Hardship, including amounts necessary to pay taxes or penalties that the Company determines may be reasonably anticipated to result from the Hardship Withdrawal. The determination of the amount of a permitted Hardship Withdrawal is made by the Company only after the Participant has obtained all withdrawals and distributions, other than Hardship Withdrawals, and all nontaxable loans under all plans maintained by the Affiliated Group.

11.4

Consequences of a Hardship Withdrawal. Plan participation (for purposes of making Participant Elected Contributions or Catch-up Contributions or receiving any allocation of Matching Contributions) and all employee before and after-tax contributions to the other qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation plans sponsored by members of

the Affiliated Group shall be suspended for a period of 6 months following a Hardship Withdrawal. The consequences of suspension from the Plan are described in Section 3.4.

11.5	Valuation Date. For purposes of this Article, the value of a Participant’s Accounts shall be determined as of the Valuation Date preceding the date on which the withdrawal is to be paid.

11.6

Source of Withdrawals. Withdrawals shall be paid from the affected Accounts. If more than one Account is available to pay the withdrawal because the Participant elected to invest in more than one Investment Fund, the withdrawal shall be made from the subaccount(s) designated by the Participant, subject to such ordering and timing restrictions as the Company may adopt. Reasonable costs of processing the withdrawal shall also be charged to the Participant’s Accounts.

11.7	Payment of Withdrawals. A Participant may request a withdrawal by following the procedures prescribed by the Company. A withdrawal shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Company receives the prescribed withdrawal request. Withdrawals shall be paid only in cash.

11.8

Limitations on Withdrawals. A Participant shall not be permitted to make more than one withdrawal under this Article in any period of six consecutive months; provided, however, that withdrawals made at the same time shall be considered a single withdrawal. The timing of withdrawals from the Company Stock Fund shall be limited when necessary to avoid liability from the short-swing trading profits provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 12. HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE DEFINITION

12.1

Determining the Highly Compensated Employee Group. An individual is deemed to be a Highly Compensated Employee for any Plan Year if the individual is an active Employee who, during the look-back year, received Section 415 Compensation of more than $80,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment) and was a member of the Top-Paid Group; or was a five-percent owner at any time during the Plan Year or the look-back year. The look-back year shall be the 12-month period immediately preceding the Plan Year. The determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee, including the determinations of the number and identity of Employees in the Top Paid Group and the Section 415 Compensation that is considered, will be made in accordance with Section 414(q) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

12.2

“Highly Compensated Former Employee” means a former Employee who separated from service (or is deemed to have separated) prior to the determination year, performs no service for any member of the Affiliated Group during the determination year, and was a Highly Compensated Employee as an active Employee for either the separation year or any determination year ending on or after the Employee’s 55th birthday. The determination of who is a Highly Compensated Former Employee will be made in accordance with Section 414(q) of the Code and regulations thereunder.

12.3	“Nonhighly Compensated Employee” for any Plan Year means any active Employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee.

12.4	“Top-Paid Group” for any Plan Year means the top 20 percent (in terms of Section 415 Compensation) of all Employees of the Affiliated Group, where the number that is 20 percent of all Employees of the Affiliated Group is determined by excluding:

(a)

Any Employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement;

(b)

Any Employee who is a nonresident alien with respect to the United States and who receives no income with a source within the United States from a member of the Affiliated Group;

(c)

Any Employee who has not completed six months of service at the end of the Plan Year;

(d)

Any Employee who normally works less than 17¹/2 hours per week;

(e)

Any Employee who normally works no more than six months during any year; and

(f)

Any Employee who has not attained the age of 21 at the end of the Plan Year.

The Company may elect, in a consistent and uniform manner, to apply one or more of the age and service-based exclusions above by substituting a younger age or shorter period of service, or by not excluding individuals on the basis of age or service.

ARTICLE 13. CONTRIBUTION LIMITATIONS

13.1	Return of Excess Deferrals.

(a)

The aggregate Participant Elected Contributions of any Participant for any calendar year, together with his or her elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement to which Section 402(g) of the Code applies and that is maintained by a member of the Affiliated Group, shall not exceed the Annual Deferral Limit. In the event that the Participant has Excess Deferrals, then the Participant may designate all or a portion of such Excess Deferrals as attributable to this Plan and may request a refund of such portion by notifying the Company in writing on or before the March 1 next following the close of such calendar year. If timely notice is received by the Company, then such portion of the Excess Deferrals, and any income or loss allocable to such portion, shall be refunded to the Participant not later than the April 15 next following the close of such calendar year.

(b)

If the Participant fails properly to request a distribution of all such Excess Deferrals, and such Excess Deferrals are attributable solely to plans, contracts or arrangements of the Affiliated Group, then the Company shall be deemed to have notice of such Excess Deferrals and shall designate one or more plans maintained by a member of the Affiliated Group from which the refund of Excess Deferrals

and allocable income or loss shall be made no later than April 15 next following the close of such calendar year.

(c)

Any Participant Elected Contributions distributed pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall not be included in the Participant Elected Contributions to which a Matching Contribution under Section 5.1 of the Plan attaches.

13.2

Actual Deferral Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage Limitations. The Plan is intended to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11) due to the Nonelective Contributions made under the Plan which are intended to constitute “safe harbor contributions” under Code Section 401(k)(12)(C).

13.3	Limitation on Contributions. Except to the extent permitted under Section 4.6 of the Plan and Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable, the Annual Additions that may be contributed or allocated to a Participant for any Plan Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

(a)

$40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the Code, or

(b)

100% of the Participant’s Section 415 Compensation for such year.

If a Participant’s Annual Additions would exceed the foregoing limitation, then such Annual Additions shall be reduced by reducing the components thereof as necessary in the order in which they are listed in Section 13.7(a). The limitation in Section 13.3(b) shall not apply to any amount that otherwise is an Annual Addition under Section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2) of the Code.

13.4

Return of Participant Elected Contributions. If the amount of any Participant’s Participant Elected Contributions is determined to be an excess Annual Addition under this Article, then the amount of such excess (adjusted to reflect any earnings, appreciation or losses attributable to such excess) shall be refunded by the Trustee in cash to the Participant.

13.5

Excess Company Contributions. If the amount of the Company Contributions allocated to a Participant for any Plan Year must be reduced to meet the limitation described in Section 13.3, then the amount of the reduction shall be applied to reduce the total amount that the Participating Companies otherwise would contribute for such year pursuant to Article 5 of the Plan. If the amount that the Participating Companies may contribute is thereby reduced to zero and if there are Company Contributions that still cannot be allocated to any Participant because of the limitation described in Section 13.3, then the excess shall be transferred to a suspense account. Any gains, income or losses attributable to the suspense account shall be allocated to such account. All amounts credited to the suspense account shall be applied to reduce the total amount that the Participating Companies otherwise would contribute to the Plan for the next Plan Year, and for succeeding Plan Years if necessary. Such amounts shall be allocated among Participants pursuant to Article 5 of the Plan until the suspense account is exhausted (subject to this Article). No Participant Elected Contributions or Company Contributions shall be made as long as any amount remains in the suspense account. However, this

method of addressing excess Annual Additions will only be permitted in the event the excess Annual Additions result from the allocation of forfeitures or result from a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals under Code Section 401(g)(3).

13.6

Prospective Limitations on Participant Elected Contributions. At any time, the Company (at its sole discretion) may reduce the maximum rate at which any Participant may make Participant Elected Contributions to the Plan, or the Company may require that any Participant discontinue all Participant Elected Contributions, in order to ensure that the limitations described in this Article 13 are met. Any reduction or discontinuance of Participant Elected Contributions may be applied selectively to individual Participants or to particular classes of Participants, as the Company may determine. Upon such date as the Company may determine, this Section shall automatically cease to apply until the Company again determines that a reduction or discontinuance of Participant Elected Contributions is required for any Participant.

13.7	Special Definitions Used in Article 13. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Article 13.

17.2

Protection of Participants. No amendment of the Plan shall reduce the benefit of any Participant that accrued under the Plan prior to the date when such amendment is adopted, except to the extent that a reduction in accrued benefits may be permitted by the Code and ERISA.

benefits to the Participants and Beneficiaries who have an interest in the Plan and of defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.

17.3

Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Plan, no assets of the Plan shall revert to any Participating Company or be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and Beneficiaries and of defraying the reasonable expenses of termination. If the Plan is terminated or partially terminated, or if all contributions to the Plan are completely discontinued, then each Participant who then is an Employee and who is directly affected by such event shall have a 100 percent vested interest in each of his or her Accounts, without regard to the number of Years of Service he or she has completed.

17.4

Allocation of Trust Fund Upon Termination. Upon termination of the Plan, the Trust Fund shall continue in existence until the Accounts of each Participant have been distributed to such Participant (or to his or her Beneficiary) pursuant to Article 8; provided, however, that the assets of the Plan shall be allocated in accordance with any applicable requirements under Section 403(d)(1) of ERISA.

17.5	Partial Termination. Upon a partial termination of the Plan, Sections 17.3 and 17.4 shall apply with respect to such Participants and Beneficiaries as are affected by such partial termination.

ARTICLE 18. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

18.1

Plan Mergers. The Plan shall not merge or consolidate with, or transfer assets or liabilities to, any other plan unless each Participant would receive a benefit immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan then terminated) that is equal to or greater than the benefit that such Participant would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).

18.2

No Assignment of Property Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Article 9 with respect to QDROs or as provided in the following sentence, the interest or property rights of any Participant or Beneficiary in the Plan, in the Trust Fund or in any distribution to be made under the Plan shall not be subject to option nor be assignable, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and any act in violation of this Section 18.2 shall be void. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, a Participant’s Plan benefits shall be reduced by any amount such Participant is ordered or required to pay to the Plan if the order or requirement to pay arises (a) under a judgment or conviction for a crime involving the Plan; (b) under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court in an action brought in connection with a breach (or alleged breach) of fiduciary duty under ERISA; or (c) pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into by the Participant and the Secretary of Labor in connection with a breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA by a fiduciary or any other person; provided, however, that the judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement expressly provides for

the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefits under the Plan.

18.3

No Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain in the employ of an Affiliate or affect the right of an Affiliate to terminate an individual’s employment at will with or without cause, at any time with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, which right is hereby reserved.

18.4	Choice of Law. The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent that state law is not preempted by ERISA, the law of the State of California.

18.5

Voting of Company Stock. Before each annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Company shall cause to be sent to each Participant who has invested any part of his or her Account in the Company Stock Fund the proxy statement and any related materials that are sent to the Company’s registered shareholders. Each Participant shall have the right to instruct the Trustee confidentially (in writing on the prescribed form) with respect to the voting at such meeting of the number of shares of Company Stock that were allocated to the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the record date for such meeting or such later date, up to and including the record date for such meeting, as the Plan Administrator may deem practicable. Such instructions shall be submitted to the Trustee by the date specified by the Company and, once received by the Trustee, shall be irrevocable. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee permit any Participating Company or any officer, employee or representative thereof to see any voting instructions given by a Participant to the Trustee. The Trustee shall vote any Company Stock for which it has not received timely written instructions in the same proportion as the Trustee votes the shares for which timely voting instructions have been received from Participants.

18.6

Tender Offers. In the event that any person or group makes an offer subject to Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act to acquire all or part of the outstanding Company Stock, including Company Stock held in the Plan (“Acquisition Offer”), each Participant shall be entitled to direct the Trustee confidentially (on a form prescribed by the Company) to tender all or part of those shares of Company Stock that would then be subject to such Participant’s voting instructions under Section 18.5 above. If the Trustee receives such an instruction by a date determined by the Trustee and communicated to Participants, the Trustee shall tender such Company Stock in accordance with such instruction. Any Company Stock as to which the Trustee does not receive instructions within such period shall not be tendered by the Trustee, except as required by law. The Trustee shall obtain and distribute to each Participant all appropriate materials pertaining to the Acquisition Offer, including the statement of the position of the Company with respect to such offer issued pursuant to Regulation 14(e)-2 of the Exchange Act, as soon as practicable after such materials are issued; provided, however, that if the Company fails to issue such statement within five (5) business days after the commencement of such offer, the Trustee shall distribute such materials to each Participant without such statement by the Company and shall separately distribute such statement by the Company as soon as practicable after it is issued. The Trustee shall follow the procedures regarding

confidentiality and verification of compliance with voting instructions described in Section 18.5 above.

18.7	Plan Appendices. The provisions of the Plan may be modified by an appendix to the Plan. The terms and provisions of each appendix are a part of the Plan and supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent necessary to eliminate inconsistencies between the Plan and such appendix.

ARTICLE 19. SPECIAL TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

19.1

Determination of Top-Heavy Status. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, this Article shall apply to any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan. The Plan shall be considered a “Top-Heavy Plan” for a Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date for such Plan Year, the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent.

19.2	Minimum Allocations.

(a)

Three percent of his or her Top-Heavy Compensation; or

(d)

“Permissive Aggregation Group” means a group of qualified plans that includes (1) the Required Aggregation Group; and (2) one or more plans of the Affiliated Group that are not part of the Required Aggregation Group. A Permissive

Aggregation Group, when viewed as a single plan, must satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

(e)

“Required Aggregation Group” means a group of qualified plans that includes (1) each plan of the Affiliated Group in which a Key Employee is a participant; and (2) each other plan of the Affiliated Group that enables any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements to Sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.

(f)

“Top-Heavy Compensation” means Section 415 Compensation, as defined in Section 13.7(d); provided, however, that Top-Heavy Compensation shall not include any amount paid to a Participant for the Plan Year in excess of the Compensation Limitation.

Amgen Salary Savings Plan into the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan

On August 13, 2004, Amgen Inc. (the “Company”) acquired Tularik in a stock acquisition and, in connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed sponsorship of the Tularik Plan. Effective August 13, 2004, the Tularik Plan was amended and restated, and renamed the Amgen Salary Savings Plan (the “ASSP”).

Merger of ASSP. The ASSP shall be merged into the Plan effective the end of the business day on December 31, 2004 (the “Merger Date”), and shall be continued in the form of the Plan. The merger of the ASSP into the Plan and the transfer of assets described in Paragraph 4 below shall be made in accordance with Code Sections 401(a)(12) and 414(l) and the regulations thereunder.

Each participant in the ASSP on December 31, 2004 shall be become a Participant in the Plan at the end of the business day on December 31, 2004, but only with respect to such participant’s accounts that are transferred from the ASSP. Each such participant and beneficiary who has an account balance transferred from the ASSP to the Plan is referred to herein as a “Former Tularik Participant.” A Former Tularik Participant shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan for periods after December 31, 2004 unless such person is otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan without regard to the provisions of this Appendix B.

4.	Transfer of Assets. The assets of the trust under the ASSP shall be transferred to the Trustee of the trust for the Plan, which serves as the funding vehicle for the Plan, on or as soon as administratively practicable after the Merger Date.

Transfer of Account Balances. All accounts maintained under the ASSP shall be adjusted as of December 31, 2004, and the net credit balances in such accounts, as adjusted, shall be transferred to the Plan and credited as of the Merger Date to the corresponding accounts maintained for the Former Tularik Participants under the Plan. Such balances, adjusted for subsequent earnings and losses, are referred to as “Former Tularik Accounts.”

6.	Vesting. Participants under the ASSP will be fully vested in their accounts under the ASSP effective as of January 1, 2004.

7.	Definition of Disability. For all purposes of the Plan, a Former Tularik Participant will be considered disabled if he or she satisfies the requirements for benefits under Tularik’s long-term disability plan as in effect on December 31, 2004.

8.	In-Service Withdrawals. In addition to the in-service withdrawals allowed under Section 11.1 of the Plan, a Former Tularik Participant shall be eligible to withdraw at any time the portion of his or her Former Tularik Accounts that are attributable to rollover contributions.

Distribution of Accounts. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an event that permits a distribution under the Plan (as defined in Section 8.2 of the Plan and Paragraph 8 above), a Former Tularik Participant shall be eligible to request a distribution of his or her Former Tularik Accounts in one of the available forms of distribution described in Sections 8.6 and 8.7.

10.

Transfer of Records. On or as soon as administratively practicable after the Merger Date, the plan administrator of the ASSP shall transfer to the Plan Administrator of the Plan all administrative records maintained with respect to participants and beneficiaries who had account balances under the ASSP on December 31, 2004.

11.

Use of Terms. Terms used in this Appendix B with respect to the ASSP and the Plan shall, unless defined in this Appendix B, have the meanings of those terms as defined in the ASSP or the Plan, as the case may be. All of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall apply to this Appendix B except that where the terms of the Plan and this Appendix B conflict, the terms of this Appendix B shall govern.

First Amendment to the Deferred Compensation Plan

Subject to the limitations contained herein, this option shall be exercisable with respect to each installment on or after the applicable Vesting Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the vesting schedule may be accelerated (by notice in writing) by the Company in its sole discretion at any time during the term of this option.

Payment may also be made by a combination of cash and already-owned Common Stock.

III. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of this option are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

IV. The term of this option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated as set forth below or in the Plan, terminates on the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the date of this option (the “Expiration Date”). This option shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date as follows: three (3) months after the termination of your employment with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (as defined in the Plan) for any reason or for no reason unless:

(1) such termination of your employment is due to your Permanent and Total Disability (as defined below), in which case the option shall terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or twelve (12) months after termination of your employment and the vesting schedule of unvested portions of options will be accelerated to vest, subject to your execution of a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, as of the day preceding such termination of your employment with respect to options scheduled to vest between and including the date of such termination of your employment and: (i) if you have been employed by the Company and/or an Affiliate of the Company for less than five (5) full years, December 31 of the first year following the year in which such termination occurs, or (ii) if you have been employed by the Company and/or an Affiliate of the Company for five (5) or more full years, all options awarded hereunder;

(3) during any part of such three (3) month period, this option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in paragraph III above, in which event this option shall not terminate until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after the termination of your employment;

(4) exercise of this option within three (3) months after termination of your employment with the Company or with an Affiliate would result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in which case this option will terminate on the earlier of: (i) the tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise would result in such liability; or (ii) six (6) months and ten (10) days after the termination of your employment with the Company or an Affiliate; or

For purposes of this option, (i) “termination of your employment” shall mean the last date you are either an employee of the Company or an Affiliate or engaged as a consultant or director to the Company or an Affiliate, and (ii) “Permanent and Total Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term under Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and with such permanent and total disability being certified prior to termination of your employment by (i) the Social Security Administration, (ii) the comparable governmental authority applicable to an Affiliate of the Company, (iii) such other body having the relevant decision-making power applicable to an Affiliate of the Company, or (iv) an independent medical advisor appointed by the Company in its sole discretion, as applicable, in any such case.

V. (1) To the extent specified above, this option may be exercised by delivering a Notice of Exercise of Stock Option form, together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to subparagraph 5(f) of the Plan.

(b) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture of which the shares are subject at the time of exercise; or (c) the disposition of shares acquired upon such exercise; and (ii) agree to notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this option that occurs within two (2) years after the date of this option grant or within one (1) year after such shares of Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of this option.

VI. This option is not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you except as set forth below:

(1) If you have named a Trust (as defined in the Plan) as beneficiary of this option, this option may be exercised by the Trust after your death; and

(2) All or a portion of this option may be transferred to an Alternate Payee (as defined in the Plan) if required by the terms of a QDRO (as defined in the Plan), as further described in Section 13 of the Plan.

VII. This option is not an employment or service contract and nothing in this option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company, or of the Company to continue your employment or service with the Company.

VIII. Any notices provided for in this option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified above or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Secretary of the Company.

IX. This option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan and its provisions are hereby made a part of this option, including without limitation the provisions of paragraph 5 of the Plan relating to option provisions, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

X. The terms of this option shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not take any actions hereunder, that would violate the Act, the Exchange Act, the Code, or any other securities or tax or other applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the shares issuable upon exercise of this option shall not be issued unless such shares are then registered under the Act, or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

XII. By electing to accept this option, you acknowledge receipt of this option and hereby confirm your understanding that the terms set forth in this option constitute, subject to the terms of the Plan, which terms shall control in the event of any conflict between the Plan and this option, the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters contained herein and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties concerning the subject matter of this option. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to options awarded under the Plan or future option that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

III. Tax Withholding; Issuance of Certificates.

You agree to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section III. Notwithstanding Section II above, no certificates representing the shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to you unless and until you have satisfied your obligations with respect to the full amount of all

federal, state and local tax withholding or other employment taxes applicable to you resulting from the payment of the Units earned.

IV. Transferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Agreement or in the shares of Common Stock that are scheduled to be issued to you hereunder shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be, in any manner, liable for, or subject to, your or your beneficiary’s debts, contracts, liabilities or torts; provided, however, nothing in this Section IV shall prevent transfer (i) by will, (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution or (iii) to an Alternate Payee to the extent that a QDRO so provides, as further described in Section 13 of the Plan.

V. No Contract for Employment.
