AMGEN INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Business
Amgen Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “Amgen,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global biotechnology pioneer that discovers, develops, manufactures and delivers innovative human therapeutics. We operate in one business segment: human therapeutics.
Basis of presentation
The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated), which Amgen considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated results of operations for those periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amgen as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any significant interests in any variable interest entities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $7.1 billion and $6.9 billion as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Restricted investments
We have restricted investments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that are owned by ATL Holdings Limited (ATL Holdings), a wholly-owned subsidiary. ATL Holdings is an entity distinct from the Company and its other subsidiaries, with separate assets and liabilities. Because certain third parties own Class A preferred shares of ATL Holdings, this entity is required to hold restricted investments, which were composed of interest-bearing securities, cash and related interest receivable as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
2. Business combinations
Onyx Pharmaceuticals
On October 1, 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Onyx), a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for improving the lives of people afflicted with cancer. Onyx has a multiple myeloma franchise, with Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) for Injection already approved in the United States, and with oprozomib being evaluated in clinical trials for patients with hematologic malignancies. In addition, Onyx has three partnered oncology assets: Nexavar® (sorafenib) tablets (an Onyx and Bayer compound), Stivarga® (regorafenib) tablets (a Bayer compound), and palbociclib (a Pfizer, Inc. compound). This transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination, provides us with an opportunity to expand our oncology franchise. Onyx’s operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

5


The aggregate consideration to acquire Onyx was paid in cash and consisted of (in millions):
Total consideration transferred
$
9,517

Compensation expense
197

Total cash paid
$
9,714


The $9,517 million cash payment consisted of a $9,186 million cash payment to the outstanding common stockholders and a $331 million cash payment to the Onyx equity award holders for services rendered prior to October 1, 2013 under the Onyx equity award plans. The remaining $197 million of cash, which related to the accelerated vesting of the remaining Onyx equity awards, was recognized as compensation expense during the three months ended December 31, 2013. This amount was included primarily in Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The consideration to acquire Onyx was allocated preliminarily to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents
$
319

Marketable securities
337

Inventories
170

Indefinite-lived intangible assets - In-process research and development (IPR&D)

Assumed contingent consideration
(261
)
Deferred income taxes, net
(2,993
)
Other assets (liabilities), net
142

Total consideration
$
9,517


Onyx’s preliminary goodwill at December 31, 2013 has been revised. Goodwill was reduced by $133 million due primarily to revisions which increased the acquisition date fair values of developed product technology rights by $280 million and deferred income taxes by $75 million, and decreased inventory by $80 million. The adjustments did not have a material effect on our current or prior period financial statements.
The developed product technology rights acquired relate to Kyprolis® which is approved in the United States. This product technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 12 years.
Licensing rights acquired represent the aggregate estimated fair values of receiving future milestone, royalty and/or profit sharing payments associated with various contract agreements that were entered into by Onyx prior to the acquisition. The weighted-average useful life of these finite-lived intangible assets is ten years, and they are being amortized primarily on a straight-line basis.
Our accounting for this acquisition is preliminary. The fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to certain identifiable intangible assets and tax related items.
Filgrastim and pegfilgrastim rights acquisition
In October 2013, we entered into an agreement to acquire the licenses to filgrastim and pegfilgrastim effective January 1, 2014 (acquisition date), that were held by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. (Roche) in approximately 100 markets in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, (Product Rights), and to settle our preexisting relationship related to the Product Rights for total consideration of $497 million. The acquisition of the Product Rights was accounted for as a business combination as the acquired rights and processes are capable of producing an immediate return to us, and the settlement of the preexisting relationship was accounted for separately from the business combination.

6


This transaction provides us with an opportunity to expand our geographic presence and reach more patients in more countries that could benefit from our therapies. The operations of the acquired set of activities have been included in our financial statements commencing on the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because this acquisition is not material to our consolidated results of operations.
The aggregate consideration transferred consisted of (in millions):
Total consideration transferred or to be transferred
$
497

Settlement of preexisting relationship at fair value
(99
)
Total consideration transferred to acquire the Product Rights
$
398

The settlement of the preexisting relationship relates to a supply contract between Amgen and Roche that was terminated as a result of the acquisition of the Product Rights. The fair value of the contract of $99 million was recognized in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The consideration to acquire the Product Rights was allocated to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired as follows (in millions):
Finite-lived intangible assets - Marketing-related rights
$
363

Finite-lived intangible assets - Developed product technology rights
11

Goodwill
3

Other assets
21

Total consideration
$
398

The marketing-related and developed product technology rights acquired relate to the Product Rights and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years and three and one-half years, respectively.
Our accounting for this acquisition is preliminary. The fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities incurred were based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities incurred, and identifiable intangible assets.
3. Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 10.9% compared with (6.8)% for the corresponding period of the prior year. The effective rates are different from the federal statutory rates primarily as a result of indefinitely invested earnings of our foreign operations. We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign operations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside of the United States. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014, increased due primarily to two significant events that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013. First, we settled our federal income tax examination for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, in which we agreed to certain adjustments and remeasured our unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) accordingly. Second, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, enacted during the first quarter of 2013, reinstated the federal research and development (R&D) tax credit for 2012 and 2013. Therefore, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013, included a benefit for the full-year 2012 federal R&D tax credit, recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2013. The federal R&D tax credit expired as of December 31, 2013 and was not reinstated as of March 31, 2014. Therefore, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014, does not include a benefit for the federal R&D tax credit. In addition, the effective tax rates for both periods were reduced by foreign tax credits associated with the Puerto Rico excise tax described below.
Puerto Rico imposes an excise tax on the gross intercompany purchase price of goods and services from our manufacturing subsidiary in Puerto Rico. The rate was 2.75% in the first half of 2013 and 4.0% effective July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017. We account for the excise tax as a manufacturing cost that is capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of sales when the related products are sold. For U.S. income tax purposes, the excise tax results in foreign tax credits that are generally recognized in our provision for income taxes when the excise tax is incurred. Excluding the impact of the Puerto Rico excise tax, our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014, would have been 15.4%, compared with (0.8)% for the corresponding period of the prior year.
One or more of our legal entities file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and certain foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax returns are routinely audited by the tax authorities in those jurisdictions. Significant

7


disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of income and deductions, the use of tax credits and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ending on or before December 31, 2009, or to California state income tax examinations for years ending on or before December 31, 2005.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the gross amount of our UTBs increased by approximately $65 million as a result of tax positions taken during the current year. Substantially all of the UTBs as of March 31, 2014, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2014, we believe it is reasonably possible that our gross liabilities for UTBs may decrease by approximately $70 million within the succeeding 12 months due to the resolution of state audits.
4. Earnings per share
The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which include principally shares that may be issued under our stock option awards and restricted stock and performance unit awards, determined using the treasury stock method (collectively “dilutive securities”).
The computation for basic and diluted EPS was as follows (in millions, except per share data):

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, realized gains totaled $28 million and $85 million, respectively, and realized losses totaled $26 million and $18 million, respectively. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Most of our available-for-sale investments that were in an unrealized loss position, which totaled $122 million as of March 31, 2014, have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. These investments had an aggregate fair value of $8.9 billion as of March 31, 2014.
The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to enhance overall returns in an efficient manner while maintaining safety of principal, prudent levels of liquidity and acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy limits interest-bearing security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with primarily investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class and issuer.
We review our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below our cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below our cost basis and adverse conditions related specifically to the security, including any changes to the credit rating of the security. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we believe the cost bases for our available-for-sale investments were recoverable in all material respects.

Developed product technology rights consist of rights related to marketed products acquired in business combinations. Licensing rights are composed primarily of intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of Onyx, capitalized payments to third parties for milestones related to regulatory approvals to commercialize products and up-front payments associated with royalty obligations for marketed products. R&D technology rights consist of technology used in R&D with alternative future uses. Marketing-related intangible assets are composed primarily of rights related to the sale and distribution of marketed products. For information related to the acquisition of certain of these intangible assets, see Note 2, Business combinations.
IPR&D consists of R&D projects acquired in a business combination which are not complete due to remaining technological risks and/or lack of receipt of the required regulatory approvals. These projects include Kyprolis®, a treatment for multiple myeloma being developed for use outside the United States (excluding Japan) acquired in the Onyx transaction (see Note 2, Business combinations); velcalcetide, a treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis; blinatumomab, a treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and talimogene laherparepvec, a treatment for melanoma.
For all IPR&D projects, there are major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of development and commercialization of these product candidates, including our ability to confirm their safety and efficacy based on data from clinical trials, our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and our ability to successfully complete these tasks within budgeted costs. We are not able to market a human therapeutic without obtaining regulatory approvals, and such approvals require completing clinical trials that demonstrate a product candidate is safe and effective. In addition, the availability and extent of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers, including government healthcare programs and private insurance plans, impact the revenues a product can generate. Consequently, the eventual realized value, if any, of these acquired IPR&D projects may vary from their estimated fair values.

10. Fair value measurement
To estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities we use valuation approaches within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:
Level 1
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access
Level 2
Valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than level 1 inputs
Level 3
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement
The availability of observable inputs can vary among the various types of financial assets and liabilities. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used for measuring fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for financial statement disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input used that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The fair value of each major class of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was as follows (in millions):

The fair values of our U.S. Treasury securities, money market mutual funds and equity securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets with no valuation adjustment.
Most of our other government-related and corporate debt securities are investment grade with maturity dates of five years or less from the balance sheet date. Our other government-related debt securities portfolio is composed of securities with weighted-average credit ratings of A by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P), A+ by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. (Moody's) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch); and our corporate debt securities portfolio has a weighted-average credit rating of A- by S&P, BBB+ by Moody's, and A by Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.
Our residential mortgage-, other mortgage- and asset-backed securities portfolio is composed entirely of senior tranches, with credit ratings of AAA by S&P, Moody's or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; prepayment/default projections based on historical data; and other observable inputs.
We value our other short-term interest-bearing securities at amortized cost, which approximates fair value given their near term maturity dates.

All of our foreign currency forward and option derivatives contracts have maturities of three years or less and all are with counterparties that have minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) cash and swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates. In addition, inputs for our foreign currency option contracts also include implied volatility measures. These inputs, where applicable, are at commonly quoted intervals. See Note 11, Derivative instruments.
Our cross-currency swap contracts are with counterparties that have minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, LIBOR, swap rates, obligor credit default swap rates and cross-currency basis swap spreads. See Note 11, Derivative instruments.
Our interest rate swap contracts are with counterparties that have minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs were observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs included LIBOR, swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates.
Contingent consideration obligations
We have incurred contingent consideration obligations as the result of our acquisition of a business and upon the assumption of contingent consideration obligations incurred by an acquired company discussed below. These contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values, and we revalue these obligations each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved. Changes in fair values of contingent consideration obligations are recognized in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The changes in carrying amounts of contingent consideration obligations were as follows (in millions):

As a result of our acquisition of BioVex Group, Inc. (BioVex) in March 2011, we are obligated to pay its former shareholders up to $575 million of additional consideration contingent upon achieving up to eight separate regulatory and sales-related milestones with regard to talimogene laherparepvec, which was acquired in the acquisition and is currently in phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of melanoma. The three largest of these potential payments are $125 million each, including the amount due if a Biologics License Application is filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Potential payments are also due upon the first commercial sale in each of the United States and the European Union (EU) following receipt of marketing approval which includes use of the product in specified patient populations and upon achievement of specified levels of sales within specified periods of time. The fair value measurements of these obligations are based on significant unobservable inputs, including the estimated probabilities and timing of achieving the related regulatory and commercial events in connection with these milestones and, as applicable, estimated annual sales. Significant changes which increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the related regulatory and commercial events, shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such events, or increase of decrease estimated annual sales would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair values of these obligations, as applicable.
We estimate the fair values of the obligations to the former shareholders of BioVex by using a combination of probability-adjusted discounted cash flows, option pricing techniques and a simulation model of expected annual sales. Quarterly, management in our R&D and commercial sales organizations review key assumptions used in the fair value measurements of these obligations. In April 2014, we announced top-line results from the primary overall survival (OS) analysis of a phase 3 trial in melanoma. We are currently reviewing the results from this study with clinicians, regulators and payers to determine the best course forward. However, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, there were no significant changes in underlying key assumptions, and there was no change in the estimated aggregate fair value of these contingent consideration obligations of $334 million.
We assumed contingent consideration obligations of $261 million upon the acquisition of Onyx arising from Onyx's 2009 acquisition of Proteolix, Inc. As of March 31, 2014, there are two separate milestone payments of $150 million each which would be triggered if Kyprolis® receives specified marketing approvals for relapsed multiple myeloma on or before March 31, 2016, by

16


each of the FDA and the European Medicines Agency. The fair value measurements of these obligations are based on significant unobservable inputs, including the estimated probabilities and timing of achieving the related regulatory approvals, which are reviewed quarterly. Significant changes which increase or decrease the probabilities of receiving regulatory approvals or shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such approvals would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair values of these obligations. We estimate the fair values of contingent obligations to the former shareholders of Proteolix, Inc. by using probability-adjusted discounted cash flows. The estimated aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration obligations increased by $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels, and there were no material remeasurements to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Summary of the fair value of other financial instruments
Cash equivalents
The estimated fair values of cash equivalents approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Borrowings
We estimated the fair value of our long-term debt (Level 2) by taking into consideration indicative prices obtained from a third-party financial institution that utilizes industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; credit spreads; benchmark yields; foreign currency exchange rates, as applicable; and other observable inputs. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair values of our long-term debt were $33.8 billion and $33.5 billion, respectively, and the carrying values were $32.0 billion and $32.1 billion, respectively.
11. Derivative instruments
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks related to its business operations. To reduce our risks related to these exposures, we utilize or have utilized certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward, foreign currency option, cross-currency swap, forward interest rate and interest rate swap contracts. We do not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes.
Cash flow hedges
We are exposed to possible changes in the values of certain anticipated foreign currency cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, associated primarily with our euro-denominated international product sales. Increases and decreases in the cash flows associated with our international product sales due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates are offset partially by the corresponding increases and decreases in our international operating expenses resulting from these foreign currency exchange rate movements. To further reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our international product sales, we enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge a portion of our projected international product sales primarily over a three-year time horizon, with, at any given point in time, a higher percentage of nearer-term projected product sales being hedged than in successive periods. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $3.9 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, and open foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts of $366 million and $516 million, respectively. These foreign currency forward and option contracts, primarily euro based, have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
To hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of our long-term notes denominated in foreign currencies, we entered into cross-currency swap contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, we paid euros/pounds sterling and received U.S. dollars for the notional amounts at the inception of the contracts, and we exchange interest payments based on these notional amounts at fixed rates over the lives of the contracts in which we pay U.S. dollars and receive euros/pounds sterling. In addition, we will pay U.S. dollars to and receive euros/pounds sterling from the counterparties at the maturities of the contracts for these same notional amounts. The terms of these contracts correspond to the related hedged notes, effectively converting the interest payments and principal repayment on these notes from euros/pounds sterling to U.S. dollars. These cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the effective portions of the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged debt affects earnings. The notional amounts and interest rates of our cross-currency swaps are as follows (notional amounts in millions):

No portions of our cash flow hedge contracts are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the gains and losses of the ineffective portions of these hedging instruments were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the amounts expected to be reclassified out of AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months are approximately $39 million of net losses on our foreign currency and cross-currency swap contracts and approximately $1 million of losses on forward interest rate contracts.
Fair value hedges
To achieve a desired mix of fixed and floating interest rates on our long-term debt, we entered into interest rate swap contracts, which qualified and are designated as fair value hedges. The terms of these interest rate swap contracts correspond to the related hedged debt instruments and effectively converted a fixed interest rate coupon to a floating LIBOR-based coupon over the lives of the respective notes. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $4.4 billion with respect to our 3.45% 2020 Notes, 4.10% 2021 Notes, 3.875% 2021 Notes and 3.625% 2022 Notes. The contracts have rates that range from three-month LIBOR plus 1.1% to three-month LIBOR plus 2.0%.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative resulting from the change in fair value during the period as well as the offsetting unrealized loss or gain of the hedged item resulting from the change in fair value during the period attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in current earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we included the unrealized losses on the hedged debt of $62 million and $22 million, respectively, in the same line item, Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as the offsetting unrealized gains of $62 million and $22 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swap agreements.
Derivatives not designated as hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These exposures are hedged on a month-to-month basis. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the total notional amounts of these foreign currency forward contracts were $977 million and $999 million, respectively.

Our derivative contracts that were in liability positions as of March 31, 2014, contain certain credit-risk-related contingent provisions that would be triggered if: (i) we were to undergo a change in control and (ii) our or the surviving entity’s creditworthiness deteriorates, which is generally defined as having either a credit rating that is below investment grade or a materially weaker creditworthiness after the change in control. If these events were to occur, the counterparties would have the right, but not the obligation, to close the contracts under early-termination provisions. In such circumstances, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of these contracts for amounts that approximate the then current fair values of the contracts. In addition, our

19


derivative contracts are not subject to any type of master netting arrangement, and amounts due to or from a counterparty under these contracts may only be offset against other amounts due to or from the same counterparty if an event of default or termination, as defined, were to occur.
The cash flow effects of our derivatives contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are included within Net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
12. Contingencies and commitments
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings and other matters, including those discussed in this Note, that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. See Note 18, Contingencies and commitments to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for further discussion of certain of our legal proceedings and other matters.
We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that we conclude that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that has been accrued previously.
Our legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to class actions with thousands of putative class members. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims (including but not limited to patent infringement, marketing, pricing and trade practices and securities law), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. In each of the matters described in this filing or in Note 18, Contingencies and commitments to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, plaintiffs seek an award of a not-yet-quantified amount of damages or an amount that is not material. In addition, a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process (which in complex proceedings of the sort faced by us often extend for several years). As a result, none of the matters described in this filing have progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss, if any, or such amounts are not material. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these items currently pending could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and other matters are discussed below:
Onyx Litigation
On March 21, 2014, plaintiff Phil Rosen filed a motion seeking to certify a class and to be designated class representative in this consolidated class action matter pending against the former members of the board of directors of Onyx in which the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the Onyx director defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Onyx shareholders in connection with the sale of Onyx to Amgen.
Federal Securities Litigation - In re Amgen Inc. Securities Litigation
On April 14, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California entered an order allowing plaintiffs leave to file a second consolidated amended class action complaint in this securities class action lawsuit. While the new complaint was filed under seal, like the first consolidated class action complaint the new complaint alleges that Amgen and certain of its officers and directors (the Federal Defendants) made false statements that resulted in: (i) deceiving the investing public regarding Amgen's prospects and business; (ii) artificially inflating the prices of Amgen's publicly traded securities and (iii) causing plaintiff and other members of the class to purchase Amgen publicly traded securities at inflated prices. In addition, like the first consolidated class action complaint, the new complaint makes off-label marketing allegations that, throughout the class period, the Federal Defendants improperly marketed Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) and EPOGEN® (epoetin alfa) for off-label uses while aware that there were alleged safety signals with these products. The named defendants have not changed and the alleged class period remains the same. Plaintiffs continue to seek compensatory damages, legal fees and other relief deemed proper.

20


13. Subsequent event
On April 1, 2014, we entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement (the Transition Agreement) with Glaxo Group Limited (Glaxo) which terminated, in part, and amended, in part, our agreement with Glaxo (the Collaboration Agreement) for the commercialization of denosumab for osteoporosis indications in certain geographic territories, including the EU, Switzerland, Australia, Norway, Russia and Mexico. The Transition Agreement terminates the Collaboration Agreement for all countries and regions, except for Australia. All commercial activities assigned to Glaxo under the Collaboration Agreement other than those in Australia will be transitioned back to us no later than December 31, 2014. In exchange for the early termination (except Australia) of the Collaboration Agreement, we will make payments to Glaxo totaling $275 million.
The Transition Agreement does not change the terms of the related Expansion Agreement under which Glaxo will commercialize denosumab for all indications in certain other geographic territories.
We evaluated whether the Transition Agreement should be accounted for as a business combination and concluded that the agreement represents the reacquisition of a previously shared economic interest, which qualifies as an asset acquisition.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-looking statements
This report and other documents we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our business, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. In addition, we, or others on our behalf, may make forward-looking statements in press releases or written statements or in our communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls. Such words as “expect,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “could,” “target,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “should,” “may,” “assume,” and “continue,” as well as variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We describe our respective risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect the outcome or results of operations in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. We have based our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast by our forward-looking statements. Reference is made in particular to forward-looking statements regarding product sales, regulatory activities, clinical trial results, reimbursement, expenses, EPS, liquidity and capital resources, trends and planned dividends and stock repurchases. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.
Overview
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to assist the reader in understanding Amgen’s business. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our results of operations discussed in MD&A are presented in conformity with GAAP.
Amgen is committed to unlocking the potential of biology for patients suffering from serious illnesses by discovering, developing, manufacturing and delivering innovative human therapeutics. This approach begins by using tools like advanced human genetics to unravel the complexities of disease and understand the fundamentals of human biology.
Amgen focuses on areas of high unmet medical need and leverages its biologics manufacturing expertise to strive for solutions that improve health outcomes and dramatically improve people’s lives. A biotechnology pioneer since 1980, Amgen has grown to be the world’s largest independent biotechnology company, has reached millions of patients around the world and is developing a pipeline of medicines with breakaway potential. Amgen operates in one business segment: human therapeutics. Therefore, our results of operations are discussed on a consolidated basis.
Currently, we market primarily recombinant protein therapeutics for supportive cancer care, inflammation, nephrology and bone disease. Our principal products are Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), NEUPOGEN® (filgrastim), Enbrel® (etanercept), XGEVA® (denosumab), Prolia® (denosumab), Sensipar®/Mimpara® (cinacalcet) and our erythropoiesis-stimulating agents: Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) and EPOGEN® (epoetin alfa). Our product sales outside the United States consist principally of sales in Europe. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our principal products represented 93% and 94% of worldwide product sales, respectively. We market several other products including Vectibix® (panitumumab), Nplate® (romiplostim) and, through our wholly owned subsidiary Onyx, Kyprolis® (carfilzomib).

Significant developments
Following is a summary of selected significant developments affecting our business that have occurred since December 31, 2013. For additional developments or for a more comprehensive discussion of certain developments discussed below, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Pipeline
Evolocumab
In March 2014, we announced that the phase 3 TESLA (Trial Evaluating PCSK9 Antibody in Subjects with LDL Receptor Abnormalities) trial evaluating evolocumab met its primary endpoint of the percent reduction from baseline at week 12 in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The percent reduction in LDL-C, or "bad" cholesterol, was clinically meaningful and statistically significant.
Talimogene Laherparepvec
In April 2014, we announced top-line results from the primary OS analysis of a phase 3 trial in melanoma, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of talimogene laherparepvec for the treatment of unresected stage IIIB, IIIC or IV melanoma compared to treatment with subcutaneous granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Results showed that, while the primary end point of durable response rate was met (as previously reported), the secondary endpoint of OS was not met, although there was a strong trend in favor of talimogene laherparepvec (p=0.051). The estimated OS hazard ratio and improvement in median OS were similar to what was previously reported at the interim OS analysis.
Brodalumab
In April 2014, we announced the recent initiation of two phase 3 studies in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Blinatumomab
In April 2014, we announced that a confirmatory phase 2 study in relapsed/refractory ALL had completed.

The increase in global product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was driven by the addition of Kyprolis® as a result of the Onyx acquisition on October 1, 2013 and XGEVA®, Prolia® and Neulasta®.
The increase in other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to our Nexavar® collaboration revenues and Stivarga® royalties as a result of the Onyx acquisition.
The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was driven primarily by Cost of sales as a result of acquisition-related expenses, including amortization of the acquired developed product technology rights.
The decreases in net income and diluted EPS were due primarily to favorable tax items in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

ROW Neulasta® and NEUPOGEN® included sales in new markets as a result of reacquiring rights to filgrastim and pegfilgrastim effective January 1, 2014.
The increase in global Neulasta® sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was driven mainly by an increase in the average net sales price in the United States, offset partially by lower wholesaler inventory.
The decrease in global NEUPOGEN® sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was driven by a decrease in unit demand in the United States.
Our material U.S. patents for filgrastim (NEUPOGEN®) expired in December 2013. We now face competition in the United States, which may have a material adverse impact over time on future sales of NEUPOGEN® and, to a lesser extent, Neulasta®. Our outstanding material U.S. patent for pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) expires in 2015.

Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased to 25.0% of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, driven by acquisition-related expenses that included $219 million of non-cash amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Onyx acquisition and a $99-million charge related to the termination of the supply contract with Roche as a result of acquiring the licenses to filgrastim and pegfilgrastim effective January 1, 2014.

26


Excluding the impact of the Puerto Rico excise tax, Cost of sales would have been 22.9% and 15.9% of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. See Note 3, Income taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Puerto Rico excise tax.
Research and development
The increase in R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was driven primarily by an increase of $176 million in our later stage clinical programs, including Onyx programs, offset partially by reduced expenses associated with marketed product support and Discovery Research and Translational Sciences activities of $17 million and $10 million, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative
The decrease in SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was driven primarily by the expiration of the ENBREL profit share in October 2013, which reduced expenses by $220 million. This decline was offset partially by the addition of $57 million as a result of the Onyx acquisition.
Other matters
As discussed previously, we announced top-line results from the primary OS analysis of a phase 3 trial of talimogene laherparepvec in melanoma. We are currently reviewing the results from this study with clinicians, regulators and payers to determine the best course forward. We acquired talimogene laherparepvec in 2011 and have a $675 million IPR&D asset and a contingent consideration liability of $334 million as of March 31, 2014, related to this project.

Interest expense, net
The decrease in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to interest on the 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes which were settled in February 2013, offset partially by interest resulting from a higher average debt balance in the current year.
Interest and other income, net
The decrease in interest and other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to higher net gains on sales of investments recognized in the prior year.
Income taxes
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, were 10.9% and (6.8)%, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to two significant events that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013. First, we settled our federal income tax examination for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, in which we agreed to certain adjustments and remeasured our UTBs accordingly, resulting in a net tax benefit of $185 million. Second, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, enacted during the first quarter of 2013, reinstated the federal R&D tax credit for 2012 and 2013. Therefore, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013, included a benefit of approximately $60 million for the full-year 2012 federal R&D tax credit, recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2013. The federal R&D credit expired as of December 31, 2013 and was not reinstated as of March 31, 2014. Therefore, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014, does not include a benefit for the federal R&D tax credit. The increase was offset partially by the favorable tax impact of changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and expenses as a result of higher amortization of acquired intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Excluding the impact of the Puerto Rico excise tax, our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, would have been 15.4% and (0.8)%, respectively.
See Note 3, Income taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

The Company intends to continue to return capital to stockholders through the payment of cash dividends, reflecting our confidence in the future cash flows of our business. Whether and when we declare dividends and the size of any dividend could be affected by a number of factors. (See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, Item 1A. Risk Factors — There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends.) In December 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.61 per share of common stock, which was paid on March 7, 2014. In March 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.61 per share of common stock which will be paid on June 6, 2014.
The Company has also returned capital to stockholders through its stock repurchase program, however we have not made repurchases under this program since the first quarter of 2013. As of March 31, 2014, $1.6 billion remained available under our Board of Directors-approved stock repurchase program. While we may repurchase additional shares of our common stock in the future, we do not currently have plans to make any significant repurchases during 2014 and 2015.
We believe that existing funds, cash generated from operations and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate, for the foreseeable future, to satisfy: our needs for working capital; capital expenditure and debt service requirements; our plans to pay dividends; and other business initiatives we may strategically pursue, including acquisitions and licensing activities. We anticipate that our liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including cash provided by operating activities, sales of marketable securities, borrowings through commercial paper and/or syndicated credit facilities and access to other domestic and foreign debt markets and equity markets. With respect to our U.S. operations, we believe that existing funds intended for use in the United States; cash generated from our U.S. operations, including intercompany payments and receipts; and existing sources of and access to financing (collectively referred to as U.S. funds) are adequate to continue to meet our U.S. obligations (including our plans to pay dividends with U.S. funds) for the foreseeable future. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, Item 1A. Risk Factors — Global economic conditions may negatively affect us and may magnify certain risks that affect our business.
A significant portion of our operating cash flows is dependent on the timing of payments from our customers located in the United States and, to a lesser extent, our customers outside the United States, which include government-owned or -supported healthcare providers (government healthcare providers). Payments from these government healthcare providers are dependent in part on the economic stability and creditworthiness of their applicable country. Historically, some payments from a number of European government healthcare providers have extended beyond the contractual terms of sale, and regional economic uncertainty continues. In particular, credit and economic conditions in Southern Europe, particularly in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, continue to adversely impact the timing of collections of our trade receivables in this region. As of March 31, 2014, accounts receivable in these four countries totaled $334 million, of which $206 million was past due. Although economic conditions in this region may continue to affect the average length of time it takes to collect payments, to date we have not incurred any significant losses related to these receivables; and the timing of payments in these countries has not had nor is it currently expected to have a material adverse impact on our overall operating cash flows. However, if government funding for healthcare were to become unavailable in these countries or if significant adverse adjustments to past payment practices were to occur, we might not be able to collect the entire balance of these receivables. We will continue working closely with these customers, monitoring the economic situation and taking appropriate actions as necessary.
Of our total cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted investments balances totaling $23.2 billion as of March 31, 2014, approximately $20.1 billion was generated from operations in foreign tax jurisdictions and is intended to be invested indefinitely outside of the United States. Under current tax laws, if these funds were repatriated for use in our U.S. operations, we would be required to pay additional U.S. federal and state income taxes at the applicable marginal tax rates.

Certain of our financing arrangements contain non-financial covenants. In addition, our revolving credit agreement and Term Loan Credit Facility each includes a financial covenant with respect to the level of our borrowings in relation to our equity, as defined. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under these arrangements as of March 31, 2014.

Operating
Cash provided by operating activities has been and is expected to continue to be our primary recurring source of funds. Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, increased due primarily to timing of receipts from customers, including the impact of $100 million received under a government-funded program in Spain, and lower payments to taxing authorities, offset partially by the termination of the supply contract with Roche as well as the timing of payments for sales incentives and to vendors and employees.
Investing
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to net activity related to marketable securities and restricted investments of $445 million, capital expenditures of $172 million and cash paid for the acquisition of companies of $104 million. Cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, was due primarily to net sales of marketable securities of $2.0 billion offset partially by capital expenditures of $158 million. Capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were associated primarily with manufacturing capacity expansions in Singapore, Ireland and Puerto Rico, as well as other site developments. We currently estimate 2014 spending on capital projects and equipment to be approximately $800 million.
Financing
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to the payment of dividends of $460 million and the repayment of long-term debt of $125 million.
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, was due primarily to the cash settlement of the $2.5 billion principal amount of the 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes which matured/converted, repurchases of our common stock of $832 million and the payment of dividends of $353 million.
See Note 8, Financing arrangements, and Note 9, Stockholders’ equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Critical accounting policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information about our market risk is disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and is incorporated herein by reference. There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2014, to the information provided in Part II, Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Amgen’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Amgen’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Amgen’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, Amgen’s management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Amgen’s Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Amgen’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.
Management determined that, as of March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter then ended that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 12, Contingencies and commitments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussions that are limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings. Those discussions should be read in conjunction with Note 18, Contingencies and commitments, to our consolidated financial statements in Part IV of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 1A.
RISK FACTORS
This report and other documents we file with the SEC contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our business, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties facing our business. We have described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the primary risks related to our business and periodically update those risks for material developments. Those risks are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as employment relations, general economic conditions, geopolitical events and international operations. Further, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may in the future materially and adversely affect our business, operations, liquidity and stock price.
There are no material updates from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our Annual Report, on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

b.
Permanent and Total Disability. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to your Permanent and Total Disability (as defined below), then the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated, subject to your execution of a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, to vest as of the day immediately preceding such termination of your employment with respect to all Units granted hereunder, except that if the Units were granted in the calendar year in which such termination occurs, the Units shall be accelerated to vest with respect to a number of Units equal to the number of Units subject to this Agreement multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete months you remained continuously and actively employed during such calendar year, and the denominator of which is twelve (12).

c.
Death. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to your death, then the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated to vest as of the day immediately preceding your death with respect to all Units granted hereunder, except that if the Units were granted in the calendar year in which your death occurs the Units shall be accelerated to vest with respect to a number of Units equal to the number of Units subject to this Agreement multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete months you remained continuously and actively employed during such calendar year, and the denominator of which is twelve (12).

d.
[Retirement. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, if you terminate your employment with the Company or an Affiliate due to your voluntary termination (and such voluntary termination is not the result of Permanent and Total Disability (as defined below)) after you are at least sixty-five (65) years of age, or after you are at least fifty-five (55) years of age and have been an employee of the Company and/or an Affiliate for at least ten (10) years in the aggregate as determined by the Company in its sole discretion according to Company policies and practices as in effect from time to time (“Voluntary Termination”), then the Units will vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule without regard to the termination of employment prior to the Vesting Date, subject to your execution of a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, with respect to all Units granted hereunder; provided, however, that if the Units were granted in the calendar year in which the Voluntary Termination occurs, the Units will vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule provided in the Award Notice only with respect to a number of Units equal to the number of Units subject to this Agreement multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete months you remained continuously and actively employed during such calendar year, and the denominator of which is twelve (12); notwithstanding the definition of Voluntary Termination set forth above, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment upon Voluntary Termination described above being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Committee will not apply the favorable treatment described above.][Reserved]*3

e.
Qualified Termination after a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, in the event of a Qualified Termination (as defined below), then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated to vest as of the day immediately prior to the Qualified Termination.

f.
Continued Vesting. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) above, the Company may in its sole discretion at any time during the term of this Agreement, in writing, otherwise provide that the Units will vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule without regard to the termination of employment prior to the Vesting Date, subject to any terms and conditions that the Company may determine.

For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “termination of your active employment” shall mean the last date that you are either an active employee of the Company or an Affiliate or actively engaged as a Consultant or Director of the Company or an Affiliate; in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are working or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), your right to receive Units and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any). The Company shall have exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Units (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(ii) “Cause” shall mean (i) your conviction of a felony, or (ii) your engaging in conduct that constitutes willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct in carrying out your duties, resulting, in either case, in material economic harm to the Company, unless you believed in good faith that such conduct was in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company. For purposes of clause (ii) above, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith;

(iii) “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 U.S. Social Security Administration, (ii) the comparable governmental authority applicable to an Affiliate, (iii) such other body having the relevant decision-making power applicable to an Affiliate, or (iv) an independent medical advisor appointed by the Company in its sole discretion, as applicable, in any such case;

(iv) “Qualified Termination” shall mean

(a)
if you are an employee who participates in the Change of Control Plan (as defined below), your termination of employment within two (2) years following a Change of Control (i) by the Company other than for Cause, Disability (as defined below), or as a result of your death or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Change of Control Plan); or

(b)
if you are an employee who does not participate in the Change of Control Plan or the Change of Control Plan is no longer in effect, your termination of employment within

3


two (2) years following a Change of Control by the Company other than for Cause, Disability (as defined below), or as a result of your death;

(v) “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:
(A)     the acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates which acquires beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of either the then-outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or
(B) individuals who, as of April 2, 1991, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to April 2, 1991, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the Directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of the Plan, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or
(C)     the consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, (in each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then-outstanding voting securities) or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, if a Change of Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Unit that is subject to United States income tax and which provides for a deferral of compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the transaction or event described in subsection (A), (B), (C) or (D) above must also constitute a “change in control event,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5), in order to constitute a Change of Control for purposes of payment of such Unit.

(vi)    “Change of Control Plan” shall mean the Company’s change of control and severance plan, including the Amgen Inc. Change of Control Severance Plan, as amended and restated, effective as of December 9, 2010 (and any subsequent amendments thereto), or equivalent plan governing the provision of benefits to eligible employees upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (including resulting from a termination of employment that occurs within a specified time period following a Change of Control), as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control; and
(vii)    “Disability” shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s long-term disability plan as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control.
II.Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to satisfaction of tax or similar obligations as provided for in Section III, any vested Units shall be paid by the Company in Shares (on a one-to-one basis) on, or as soon as practicable after, and in any event within 90 days after the applicable Vesting Date, which for purposes of this Section II, includes the date of any accelerated vesting, if any (the “Settlement Period”). [(For the

4


avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Units continue to vest following a Voluntary Termination in accordance with Section 1(d) above, the Vesting Date(s) for purposes of payments pursuant to this Section II shall be the regularly scheduled Vesting Dates following such termination.]*4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that (i) the vesting and settlement of Units is conditioned on your execution and delivery of a release and (ii) the Settlement Period commences in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the Units will be paid in the second calendar year. Shares issued in respect of a Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration of past services actually rendered by you to the Company or an Affiliate or for its benefit for which you have not previously been compensated or for future services to be rendered, as the case may be, which the Company deems to have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value thereof.

III.Tax Withholding; Issuance of Certificates. Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax Obligations”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or your Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Units, including the grant of the Units, the vesting of Units, the conversion of the Units into Shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to your Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy all applicable Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following:

(a)    withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer; or

(b)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting or payment of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(c)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting or payment of the Units, provided that the Company and your Employer shall only withhold an amount of Shares with a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations.

_____________________________
4 Paragraph (d) of Section I of this Agreement is not applicable to awards identified by the Administrator as new hire, retention or promotion grants and the provisions of such paragraph shall be reserved and references thereto identified by an asterisk (*) shall be omitted from the agreements evidencing such grants.

5


To avoid adverse accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Obligations not to exceed the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates. If the Tax Obligations are satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Obligations due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan (any Shares withheld by the Company hereunder shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan and shall remain available for issuance thereunder).

Finally, you shall pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  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, the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

IV.Dividend Equivalents

(a)    Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents. Subject to this Section IV, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on each Unit granted to you under this Agreement in the manner set forth in the remainder of this Section IV. If the Company declares one or more dividends or distributions (each, a “Dividend”) on its Common Stock with a record date which occurs during the period commencing on the Grant Date through and including the day immediately preceding the day the shares of Common Stock subject to the Units are issued to you, whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property, then on the date such Dividend is paid to the Company’s stockholders you shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount or fair market value of such Dividend which would have been payable to you if you held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your Units as of the record date for such Dividend, unless the Units have been forfeited between the record date and payment date for such Dividend. Any such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited and deemed reinvested in the Common Stock as of the Dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents shall be payable in full shares of Common Stock, unless the Administrator determines, at any time prior to payment and in its discretion, that they shall be payable in cash. Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in cash.

(b)    Treatment of Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section IV, any Dividend Equivalents credited to you shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement which apply to the Units with respect to which they have been credited and shall be payable, if at all, at the time and to the extent that the underlying Unit becomes payable. Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable on any Units that do not vest, or are forfeited, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

V.Transferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Agreement or in the Shares 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 V shall prevent transfer (i) by will or (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution.

VI.Notices. Any notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be given in writing or electronically 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 such address as is currently maintained in the Company’s records or at such other address as you hereafter

6


designate by written notice to the Company Stock Administrator. Such notices may be given using any automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, as approved by the Company.

VII.Plan. This Agreement is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, which provisions are hereby made a part of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Plan relating to Restricted Stock Units, 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 Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

VIII.Governing Law. The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises hereunder, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of the State of Delaware, or the federal courts for the United States for the federal district located in the State of Delaware, and no other courts, where this Agreement is made and/or to be performed.

IX.Code Section 409A. The time and form of payment of the Units is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Accordingly, no acceleration or deferral of any payment shall be permitted if it would cause the payment of the Units to violate Code Section 409A. In addition, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that following the Grant Date, the Committee (as defined in the Plan) determines that it may be necessary or appropriate to do so, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Plan and/or the Units from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to this Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not create an obligation on the part of the Committee to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the right to receive payment of Units at each Vesting Date shall be treated as a right to receive separate and distinct payments.

X.Acknowledgement. By electing to accept this Agreement, you acknowledge receipt of this Agreement and hereby confirm your understanding that the terms set forth in this Agreement constitute, subject to the terms of the Plan, which terms shall control in the event of any conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, 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 Agreement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation 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 a third party designated by the Company.

XI.Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and Units. In accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that:


7


(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;

(b)    the grant of the Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Units, or benefits in lieu of Units even if Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(c)    all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)    your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(e)    your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(f)    the grant of Units and the Shares subject to the Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(g)    neither the grant of Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon you any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Affiliate;

(h)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i)    in consideration of the grant of Units hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of Units, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from termination of your employment by the Company or an Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and your Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

(j)    except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company;
(k)    the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States:
(i) for employment law purposes outside the United States, the Units and Shares subject to the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including but not limited to for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and

8


(ii) you acknowledge and agree that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
XII.No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

XIII.Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if you are employed by the Company or an Affiliate in any of the countries identified in the attached Appendix A (which constitutes a part of this Agreement), are subject to the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, or relocate to one of the countries included in the attached Appendix A, the Units granted hereunder shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country set forth in Appendix A and to the following additional terms and conditions:

a.
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Appendix A, are deemed modified to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with applicable foreign laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan;
b.
if applicable, the effectiveness of your award of Units is conditioned upon its compliance with any applicable foreign laws, regulations, rules or local governmental regulatory exemption and subject to receipt of any required foreign regulatory approvals;
c.
to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws, the payment of any earned Units shall be made in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s election; and
d.
the Company may take any other action, before or after an award of Units is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not take any actions hereunder, that would violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Code, or any other securities or tax or other applicable law or regulation, or the rules of any Securities Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Shares issuable upon vesting of the Unit shall not be issued unless such Shares are then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that the issuance satisfied all other applicable legal requirements.
XIV.Data Privacy and Notice of Consent. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, your Employer, the Company, and Affiliates of the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company and your Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number (to the extent permitted under applicable local law) or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, residency status, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity compensation or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested,

9


unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).
You understand that Data may be transferred to Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB, or any successor thereto, or any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, including outside the European Economic Area and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize your Employer, the Company, Affiliates of the Company, Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB, or any successor thereto, and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to any other broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon vesting of the Units may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
XV.Severability. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan.

XVI.Language. If you have received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

XVII.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

XVIII.Compensation Subject to Recovery. The Units subject to this Award and all compensation payable with respect to them shall be subject to recovery by the Company pursuant to any and all of the

10


Company’s policies with respect to the recovery of compensation, as they shall be in effect and may be amended from time to time, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

XIX.Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other grantee.



Very truly yours,

Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation. Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you or you may be subject to the provisions of one or more jurisdictions.

CHINA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms apply only to nationals of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) residing in the PRC, unless otherwise determined by the Company or required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange:

Vesting of the Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Form of Award Notice or Award Agreement, the Units shall not vest until all necessary exchange control and other approvals from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local counterpart (“SAFE”) have been received for Units granted under the Plan. Once SAFE approval has been received and provided you are then employed by the Company or an Affiliate, you will receive vesting credit for that portion of the Units that would have vested prior to obtaining SAFE approval, if applicable, and the remaining portion of the Units will vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule in the Form of Award Notice. If you terminate employment with the Company

Appendix A-4


and its Affiliates prior to the receipt of SAFE approval, your unvested Units will be forfeited.
Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section I(d) of the Agreement, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to your Voluntary Termination, as defined in Section I(d), then the vesting of Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated to vest as of the day immediately preceding such Voluntary Termination with respect to all Units granted hereunder.
Sale Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, due to exchange control laws in the PRC, you agree that the Company reserves the right to require the immediate sale of any Shares issued upon settlement of the Units. You understand and agree that any such immediate sale of Shares will occur as soon as is practical following settlement of the Units. Alternatively, if the Shares are not immediately sold upon settlement of the Units, the Company will require the sale of any Shares you may then hold within six (6) months (or such other period as may be required under applicable legal or exchange control requirements) following the termination of your employment with the Company including its Affiliates.

You agree that the Company is authorized to instruct Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company to assist with the sale of the Shares on your behalf pursuant to this authorization, and you expressly authorize such broker to complete the sale of such Shares. You also agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated broker) to effectuate the sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and to otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. Upon the sale of the Shares, you will receive the cash proceeds from the sale, less any applicable Tax Obligations, brokerage fees or commissions, in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

You acknowledge that Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the Share price and/or applicable exchange rates between the settlement date and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to you may be more or less than the market value of the Shares on the settlement date (which is the amount relevant to determining your liability for Tax Obligations). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss that you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Share price and/or any applicable exchange rate.

Designated Broker Account. If Shares issued upon the settlement of the Units are not immediately sold, you acknowledge that you are required to maintain the Shares in an account with Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company until the Shares are sold through such Company-designated broker.

Exchange Control Requirements. You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares issued to you upon settlement of the Units to China. You further understand that, under applicable laws, such repatriation of your cash proceeds will need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or any Affiliate, including the Employer, and you hereby consent and agree that any proceeds from the sale of the Shares may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. You also understand that the Company will deliver the proceeds to you as soon as possible, but that there may be delays in distributing the funds to you due to exchange control requirements in China. Proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be

Appendix A-5


deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular currency conversion rate and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions.

Further, you acknowledge and understand that the net proceeds that you realize from your participation in the Plan must be converted from U.S. dollars to Dirham, and that neither the Company nor any Affiliate, including the Employer, have any obligation to, but may nonetheless, convert the net proceeds on your behalf using any exchange rate chosen by the Company; if funds are so converted, they will be converted as soon as practicable after sale, which may not be immediately after the sale date. Further, if such currency conversion occurs, you will bear the risk of any fluctuation in the U.S. dollar/Dirham exchange rate between the date you realize U.S. dollar proceeds from your participation in the Plan and the date that you receive cash proceeds converted to Dirham. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in Morocco.

SPAIN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Labor Law Acknowledgement.  The following provision supplements Section XI of the Agreement:
 
By accepting the Units granted hereunder, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.

You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant any Units under the Plan to individuals who may be members of the Board, Employees or Consultants of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision, which is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Units granted will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement, including this Appendix. Consequently, you understand that the Units granted hereunder are given on the assumption and condition that they shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of Units since the future value of the Units and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that any Units granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of Units or right to Units shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Units is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service, such that if your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of your termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section I of the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or an Affiliate; or (5) your employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of your employment for any of the above reasons, you may automatically lose any rights to Units that were not vested on the date of your termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in Section I of the Agreement.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  You are required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Shares held in such accounts if the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceed €1,000,000.

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section III of the Agreement:

You agree that if you do not pay or your Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of income tax that you owe at issuance of Shares in respect of the Units, or the release or assignment of the Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld and/or paid shall constitute a loan owed by you to your Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the official rate of HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or your Employer may recover it at any time thereafter (subject to Section III of the Agreement) by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by your Employer, by withholding in Shares issued in respect of the Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a check from you. You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, as amended from time to time, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and income tax is not collected from you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You acknowledge that you are responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing your Employer for the value of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or your Employer may recover from you by any of the means set forth in Section III of the Agreement.

Joint Election. As a condition of the Units granted hereunder, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the “Employer NICs”), which may be payable by the Company or your Employer with respect to the Units and/or payment of the Units and issuance of Shares pursuant to the Units, the assignment or release of the Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Units.

Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to make an election (the “Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for your Employer NICs payments on any such gains shall be transferred to you to the fullest extent permitted by law. You further agree to execute such other elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or your Employer. You hereby authorize the Company and your Employer to withhold such Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in Section III of the Agreement.

Failure by you to enter into an Election, withdrawal of approval of the Election by HMRC or a joint revocation of the Election by you and the Company or your Employer, as applicable, shall be grounds for the forfeiture and cancellation of the Units, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.

PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT

THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF YOUR GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS ARE FOUND IN THE PAGES RELATING TO THE GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS FOUND ON MERRILL LYNCH BENEFITS WEBSITE (OR THE WEBSITE OF ANY SUCCESSOR COMPANY TO MERRILL LYNCH BANK & TRUST CO., FSB) (THE “AWARD NOTICE”) WHICH ACCOMPANIES THIS DOCUMENT. THE TERMS OF THE AWARD NOTICE ARE INCORPORATED INTO THIS PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT.

On the Grant Date specified in the Award Notice, Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you, the grantee named in the Award Notice, under the plan specified in the Award Notice (the “Plan”), the Number of Performance Units (the “Performance Units”) specified in the Award Notice on the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Unit Agreement (and any applicable special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the attached Appendix A (as described in greater detail in Section XIV below)) (collectively, this “Agreement”), the Plan, the Amgen Inc. 2009 Performance Award Program (the “Program”) and the Resolutions (as defined below). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Program.

I.Performance Period. The Performance Period shall have the meaning set forth in the Award Notice.

II.Value of Performance Units. The value of each Performance Unit is equal to a share of Common Stock.

III.Performance Goals. An amount of the Performance Units up to the maximum amount specified in the Resolutions shall be earned, depending on the extent to which the Company achieves objectively determinable Performance Goals established by the Committee pursuant to the Resolutions. The Performance Units earned shall be calculated in accordance with the Resolutions and the Program.

IV.Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to Section XIII and except as set forth in the Program, for any Performance Units earned pursuant to Section III above, the specified payment date applicable to such Performance Units shall be the year immediately following the end of the Performance Period. Shares issued in respect of a Performance Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration of past services actually rendered by you to the Company or an Affiliate or for its benefit for which you have not previously been compensated or for future services to be rendered, as the case may be, which the Company deems to have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value thereof.

V.Issuance of Certificates; Tax Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and the Program and legally applicable to you (the “Tax Obligations”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or your Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units, including the grant of the Performance Units, the vesting of the Performance Units, the conversion of the Performance Units into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Obligations or

1


to achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to your Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/ or your Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy all applicable Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following:
(a)     withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer; or
(b)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares issued upon settlement of the Performance Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(c)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Performance Units provided that the Company and your Employer shall only withhold an amount of Shares with a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations.
To avoid adverse accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Obligations not to exceed the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates. If the Tax Obligations are satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the earned Performance Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Obligations due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan (any Shares withheld by the Company hereunder shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan and shall remain available for issuance thereunder).
Finally, you shall pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan and the Program that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. You agree to take any further actions and to execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section V. Notwithstanding Section IV above, the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

VI.Dividend Equivalents

(a)     Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. Subject to this Section VI, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on each Performance Unit granted to you under this Agreement in the manner set forth in the remainder of this Section VI. If the Company declares one or more dividends or distributions (each, a “Dividend”) on its Common Stock with a record date which occurs during the period commencing on the Grant Date through and including the day immediately preceding the day the Shares subject to the Performance Units are issued to you, whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property, then as of the date the number of Performance Units payable to you pursuant to the terms this Agreement are determined and payable, you shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount or fair market value of such Dividend which would have been payable to you if you held a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Units payable to you as of each such record date for each such Dividend (not including on any Performance

2


Units which were previously paid or forfeited) as if each such amount had been reinvested in Common Stock as of the date of the payment of such Dividend. Each such Dividend Equivalent shall be deemed to have been reinvested in the Common Stock as of the Dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents shall be payable in full Shares, unless the Administrator determines, at any time prior to payment and in its discretion, that they shall be payable in cash. Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to fractional Shares shall be paid in cash.

(b)    Treatment of Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section VI any Dividend Equivalents credited to you shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement which apply to the Performance Units with respect to which they have been credited and shall be payable, if at all, at the time and to the extent that the underlying Performance Unit becomes payable.

(c)    all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)    your participation in the Plan and the Program shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(h)    the future value of the Shares that may be earned upon the end of the Performance Period is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i)    in consideration of the grant of Performance Units hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from termination of your employment by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and your Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

However, if at any time the Committee determines that the Performance Units may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and without your prior consent to amend the Program as it may determine is necessary or desirable either for the Performance Units to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including by adding conditions with respect to the vesting and/or the payment of the Performance Units, provided that no such amendment may change the Program’s “performance goals,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, with respect to any person who is a “covered employee,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such amendment to the Program may in the Committee’s sole discretion apply retroactively to this award of Performance Units.

XIV.Provisions Applicable to Participants in Foreign Jurisdictions.

(b)    if applicable, the effectiveness of your Award is conditioned upon its compliance with any applicable foreign laws, regulations, rules or local governmental regulatory exemption and subject to receipt of any required foreign regulatory approvals;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares issuable with respect to an Award shall be issued unless such shares are then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and that the issuance satisfies all other applicable legal requirements.

XV.Data Privacy and Notice of Consent. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, and any Affiliates of the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and the Program.
You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number (to the extent permitted under applicable local law) or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, residency status, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity compensation or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Program (“Data”).
You understand that Data may be transferred to Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (or any successor thereto), any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and the Program, that these recipients may be located in your country, or elsewhere, including outside the European Economic Area and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Employer, the Company, Affiliates of the Company, Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (or any successor thereto), and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and the Program to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan and the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares received upon vesting of the Performance Units may be deposited.

You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you

Performance Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan and the Program. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

XVIII.Severability. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan.

XIX.Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan and/or the Program by electronic means.

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern any Performance Units granted under the Plan if, under applicable law, you are a resident of, or are deemed to be a resident of one of the countries listed below.  Furthermore, the additional terms and conditions that govern the Performance Units granted hereunder may apply to you if you relocate to one of the countries listed below and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to you.

This Appendix also includes notifications relating to exchange control and other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the countries to which this Appendix refers as of January 2014. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the notifications herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be outdated when you acquire Shares under the Plan, or when you subsequently sell Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation. Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you or you may be subject to the provisions of one or more jurisdictions.

CHINA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms apply only to nationals of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") residing in the PRC, unless otherwise determined by the Company or required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange:

Vesting of the Performance Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Form of Award Notice or Award Agreement, the Performance Units shall not vest or be considered earned until all necessary exchange control and other approvals from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local counterpart (“SAFE”) have been received for Performance Units granted under the Plan. Once SAFE approval has been received and provided you are then employed by the Company or an Affiliate, any portion of the Performance Units that was deemed earned prior to obtaining SAFE approval will then vest and Shares will be issuable to you in settlement of such Performance Units. If you terminate employment with the Company and its

Appendix - 4


Affiliates prior to the receipt of SAFE approval, any Performance Units that are unvested pursuant to the preceding provision will be forfeited.

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 7.1 of the Program, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates at any time during the Performance Period, you shall forfeit all Performance Units.

Sale Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, due to exchange control laws in the PRC, you agree that the Company reserves the right to require the immediate sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Performance Units. You understand and agree that any such immediate sale of shares will occur as soon as is practical following settlement of the Performance Units. Alternatively, if the Shares are not immediately sold upon settlement of the Performance Units, the Company will require the sale of any shares you may then hold within six (6) months (or such other period as may be required under applicable legal or exchange control requirements) following the termination of your employment with the Company, including its Affiliates.

You agree that the Company is authorized to instruct Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company to assist with the sale of the shares on your behalf pursuant to this authorization, and you expressly authorize such broker to complete the sale of such shares. You also agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company's designated broker) to effectuate the sale of the shares (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and to otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. Upon the sale of the shares, you will receive the cash proceeds from the sale, less any applicable Tax Obligations, brokerage fees or commissions, in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

You acknowledge that Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the share price and/or applicable exchange rates between the settlement date and (if later) the date on which the shares are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to you may be more or less than the market value of the shares on the settlement date (which is the amount relevant to determining your liability for Tax Obligations). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss that you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the share price and/or any applicable exchange rate.

Designated Broker Account. If Shares issued upon the settlement of the Performance Units are not immediately sold, you acknowledge that you are required to maintain the shares in an account with Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company until the shares are sold through such Company-designated broker.

Exchange Control Requirements. You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares issued upon settlement of the Performance Units to China. You further understand that, under applicable laws, such repatriation of your cash proceeds will need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or any Affiliate, including the Employer, and you hereby consent and agree that any proceeds from the sale of the shares may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. You also understand that the Company will deliver the proceeds to you as soon as possible, but that there may be delays in distributing the funds to you due to exchange control requirements in China. Proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the proceeds are paid

Appendix - 5


to you in U.S. dollars, you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular currency conversion rate and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

MOROCCO

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Sale Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, due to exchange control laws in Morocco, you agree that the Company reserves the right to require the immediate sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Performance Units. Alternatively, if the Shares are not immediately sold upon settlement of the Performance Units, the Company may require the sale of any shares at a later date, including upon termination of your employment.

You agree that the Company is authorized to instruct Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company to assist with the sale of the shares on your behalf pursuant to this authorization, and you expressly authorize such broker to complete the sale of such shares. You also agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company's designated broker) to effectuate the sale of the shares (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and to otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. Upon the sale of the shares, you will receive the cash proceeds from the sale, less any applicable Tax Obligations, brokerage fees or commissions, in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

You acknowledge that Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the share price and/or applicable exchange rates between the settlement date and (if

Appendix - 13


later) the date on which the shares are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to you may be more or less than the market value of the shares on the settlement date (which is the amount relevant to determining your liability for Tax Obligations). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss that you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the share price and/or any applicable exchange rate.

Designated Broker Account. If Shares issued upon the settlement of the Units are not immediately sold, you acknowledge that you are required to maintain the shares in an account with Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB or such other designated broker as may be selected by the Company until the shares are sold through such Company-designated broker.

Exchange Control Requirements. You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares issued upon settlement of the Units to Morocco. You further understand that such repatriation of your cash proceeds may be effectuated through a bank account established by the Company or any Affiliate, including the Employer, and you hereby consent and agree that any proceeds from the sale of the shares may be transferred to such bank account prior to being delivered to you. If repatriation of your cash proceeds is not effectuated through a bank account established by the Company or any Affiliate, including the Employer, you hereby agree to maintain your own records proving repatriation and to provide copies of these records upon request by the Company or any Affiliate, including the Employer, or the Moroccan Exchange Control Office (Office des Changes). Further, you acknowledge and understand that the net proceeds that you realize from your participation in the Plan must be converted from U.S. dollars to Dirham, and that neither the Company nor any Affiliate, including the Employer, have any obligation to, but may nonetheless, convert the net proceeds on your behalf using any exchange rate chosen by the Company; if funds are so converted, they will be converted as soon as practicable after sale, which may not be immediately after the sale date. Further, if such currency conversion occurs, you will bear the risk of any fluctuation in the U.S. dollar/Dirham exchange rate between the date you realize U.S. dollar proceeds from your participation in the Plan and the date that you receive cash proceeds converted to Dirham. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in Morocco.

SPAIN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Labor Law Acknowledgement.  The following provision supplements Section IX of the Agreement:

By accepting the Award granted hereunder, you consent to participation in the Plan and the Program and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan and the Program.

You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Award under the Plan and the Program to individuals who may be members of the Board, Employees, or Consultants of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that the Awards granted will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the applicable Agreement, including this Appendix. Consequently, you understand that the Award granted hereunder is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of the Award since the future value of the Award and any Shares that may be issued in respect of such Award is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that the Award granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the Award or right to the Award shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Performance Units is expressly conditioned your continued and active rendering of service, such that if your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Performance Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of your termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section I of the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or an Affiliate; or (5) your employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of your employment for any of the above reasons,

Appendix - 18


you may automatically lose any rights to Performance Units that were not vested on the date of your termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in Section I of the Agreement.

You must declare ownership of any shares with the DGCI each January while the shares are owned and must also report, in January, any sale of shares that occurred in the previous year for which the report is being made, unless the sale proceeds exceed the applicable threshold, in which case the report is due within one month of the sale.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  You are required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Shares held in such accounts if the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceed €1,000,000.

Further, effective January 1, 2013, to the extent that you hold shares and/or have bank accounts outside Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31 each year, you will be required to report information on such assets in your tax return (tax form 720) for such year.

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section V of the Agreement:

You agree that if you do not pay or your Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of income tax that you owe due at issuance of Shares in respect of the Performance Units, or the release or assignment of the Performance Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units (the "Taxable Event") within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld and/or paid shall constitute a loan owed by you to your Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the official rate of HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or your Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding (subject to Section V of the Agreement) the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by your Employer, by withholding in Shares issued in respect of the Performance Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a check from you. You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, as amended), from time to time, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and income tax is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") may be payable. You acknowledge that you are responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing your Employer for the value of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from you by any of the means set forth in Section V of the Agreement.

Joint Election. As a condition of the Award, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the "Employer NICs") which may be payable by the Company or your Employer with respect to the earning and/or payment of the Performance Units and issuance of Shares in respect of the Performance Units, the assignment or release of the Performance Units for consideration or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units.

Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to make an election (the "Election"), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for your Employer NICs payments on any such gains shall be transferred to you to the fullest extent permitted by law. You further agree to execute such other elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or your Employer. You hereby authorize the Company and your Employer to withhold such Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in Section V of the Agreement.

Failure by you to enter into an Election, withdrawal of approval of the Election by HMRC or a joint revocation of the Election by you and the Company or your Employer, as applicable, shall be grounds for the forfeiture and cancellation of the Performance Units, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.

(j)    in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive Performance Units and receive shares under the Plan and the Program, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed; provided, however, that such right will be extended by any notice period mandated by law (e.g., the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("WARN Act") notice period or similar periods pursuant to local law) and any paid administrative leave (as applicable), unless the Company shall provide you with written notice otherwise before the commencement of such notice period or leave. In such event, payment of the Performance Units shall be made in accordance with Section IV.

VENEZUELA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Form of Settlement- Performance Units Payable Only in Shares. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Performance Units do not provide any right for you, as a resident of Venezuela, to receive a cash payment and shall be paid in Shares only.
