AMGEN INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2013
(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. Our medicines help millions of patients in the fight against cancer, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, bone disease, and other serious illnesses. We operate in one business segment: human therapeutics.

Basis of presentation
The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , 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.
Prior-period amounts for amortization of certain acquired intangible assets have been reclassified within Operating expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to conform to the current-period presentation.

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, 2012 .
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 $6.5 billion and $6.6 billion as of March 31, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , respectively.
Comprehensive income
In January 2013, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires additional disclosures regarding amounts that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). In accordance with the requirements of the standard, the effects of significant reclassifications out of AOCI, by component, on the respective lines in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income are presented in Note 8, Stockholders' equity. The standard was required to be applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2013.
2. Business combinations
deCODE Genetics
On December 10, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of deCODE Genetics (deCODE), a privately held company that is a global leader in human genetics, for total consideration of $401 million in cash. The transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination, provides us with an opportunity to enhance our efforts to identify and validate human disease targets. deCODE's operations, which are not material, have been included in our consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.
We allocated the consideration to acquire deCODE to finite-lived intangible assets of $465 million comprised of databases and other proprietary information with an estimated useful life of 10 years , $45 million to goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes, deferred tax liabilities of $93 million and other net liabilities of $16 million . These amounts reflect adjustments

5


recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013, to the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition which did not have a material effect on our current or prior period financial statements. These adjustments reduced goodwill by $48 million due primarily to a revision which increased the acquisition date fair value of finite-lived intangible assets by $64 million .
Our accounting for the acquisition is preliminary and will be finalized upon completion of our analysis to determine the acquisition date fair values of certain assets acquired, liabilities assumed and tax-related items.
3. Income taxes
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , 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. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was reduced by two significant events that occurred during the quarter. First, we settled our examination with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 during the quarter. We agreed to certain adjustments proposed by the IRS arising out of the examination and remeasured our unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) accordingly. Also, the federal research and development (R&D) tax credit expired as of December 31, 2011, and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which included extension of the federal R&D tax credit for 2013 and retroactively for 2012, was enacted during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Therefore, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes a benefit for both the full-year 2012 federal R&D tax credit, recorded discretely in the quarter, and the effect of the estimated 2013 federal R&D tax credit on our annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , were further reduced by foreign tax credits associated with the Puerto Rico excise tax described below.
Commencing January 1, 2011, Puerto Rico imposes a temporary excise tax on the purchase of goods and services from a related manufacturer in Puerto Rico. The excise tax is imposed on the gross intercompany purchase price of the goods and services and was initially effective for a six -year period beginning in 2011, with the excise tax rate declining in each year ( 4% in 2011, 3.75% in 2012, 2.75% in 2013, 2.5% in 2014, 2.25% in 2015 and 1% in 2016). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Puerto Rico government enacted an amendment to the excise tax legislation which increased the excise tax rate to 4% 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, 2013 and 2012, would have been (0.8)% and 18.5% , respectively.
Several 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 disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions, the use of tax credits and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations. The U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2009 and the California state income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2005 have been completed.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , the gross amount of our UTBs increased by approximately $80 million as a result of tax positions taken during the current year and decreased by approximately $190 million due to the federal and state tax impacts of settlement of our U.S. tax returns with the IRS relating to years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009. The settlement resulted in recognition of a net tax benefit of approximately $185 million , including interest, penalties and the federal benefit of state taxes. Substantially all of the UTBs as of March 31, 2013 , if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2013 , we believe it is reasonably possible that our gross liabilities for UTBs may decrease by approximately $90 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, restricted stock and performance unit awards, determined using the treasury stock method; our convertible notes while outstanding, as discussed below; and our outstanding warrants (collectively, “dilutive securities”). The convertible note hedges purchased in connection with the issuance of our convertible notes, which terminated in February 2013, are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their impact is always anti-dilutive.
Prior to the conversion/maturity of our 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes in February 2013 (see Note 7, Financing arrangements), the principal amount of the notes had to be settled in cash, and the excess of the conversion value, as defined, over

6


the principal amount could have been settled in cash and/or shares of our common stock upon conversion. Therefore, only the shares of our common stock potentially issuable with respect to the excess of the notes’ conversion value over their principal amount, if any, were considered dilutive potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 , the conversion value of our 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes, while outstanding, exceeded the related principal amount resulting in the assumed issuance of an additional one million shares calculated on a weighted-average basis for purposes of computing diluted EPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 , the conversion value of our convertible notes was less than the related principal amounts, and accordingly, no shares were assumed to be issued for purposes of computing diluted EPS.
The computation for basic and diluted EPS was as follows (in millions, except per share data):

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 , there were no anti-dilutive shares of our common stock from employee stock-based awards calculated on a weighted-average basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 , there were employee stock-based awards, calculated on a weighted-average basis, to acquire 11 million shares of our common stock that are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, shares of our common stock that may be issued upon exercise of our warrants are not included in the computation of diluted EPS for any of the periods presented above because their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , realized gains totaled $85 million and $67 million , respectively, and realized losses totaled $18 million and $19 million , respectively. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
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, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , we believe the cost bases for our available-for-sale investments were recoverable in all material respects.

Convertible notes

In February 2013, our 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes matured/converted, and accordingly, the $2.5 billion principal amount was settled in cash. We also elected to pay the note holders who converted their notes $99 million of cash for the conversion value that exceeded the principal amount of the notes, as allowed under the original terms of the notes. As a result of this conversion, we received $99 million of cash from the counterparty to the related convertible note hedge to offset the corresponding payment to the convertible note holders. In addition, on May 1, 2013, warrants to acquire 32 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $104.80 originally sold in connection with the issuance of the 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes were exercised resulting in a net cash settlement of $100 million .

9. 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 (S&P) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch) and AA- or equivalent by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's); and our corporate debt securities portfolio has a weighted-average credit rating of A- or equivalent 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; and other observable inputs.
Our residential mortgage-, other mortgage- and asset-backed securities portfolio is composed entirely of senior tranches, with credit ratings of AA+ by S&P and AAA or equivalent by 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.
Substantially 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 estimate the fair

13


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 10, 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 estimate 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 10, 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.
As a result of our acquisition of BioVex Group, Inc. 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. Potential payments are also due upon the first commercial sale in each of the United States and the European Union 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.
These contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value measurements of these obligations are based on significant unobservable inputs, including the estimated probabilities and timing of achieving the related regulatory events in connection with these milestones and, as applicable, estimated annual sales. Significant changes (increases or decreases) in these inputs would result in corresponding changes in the fair values of the contingent consideration obligations.
We revalue these contingent consideration obligations each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved. We estimate the fair values of these obligations 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 the absence of any significant changes in key assumptions, the changes in fair values of these contingent consideration obligations reflect the passage of time and changes in our credit risk adjusted rate used to discount obligations to present value. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no significant changes in underlying key assumptions; and the increases in the estimated aggregate fair value of $1 million and $2 million , respectively, were recorded in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

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, 2013 and 2012 , 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 values of our convertible notes, while outstanding, (Level 2) by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs were observable either directly or indirectly, including benchmark yields adjusted for our credit risk. The fair value of our convertible notes represented only the liability components of these instruments, because their equity components are included in Common stock and additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair values of our other long-term notes (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

14


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, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , the aggregate fair values of our long-term debt were $26.9 billion and $29.9 billion , respectively, and the carrying values were $23.9 billion and $26.5 billion , respectively.
10. 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, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , we had open foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $3.7 billion and open foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts of $139 million and $200 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):

In connection with the anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate debt, we occasionally enter into forward interest rate contracts in order to hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in the applicable Treasury rate between the time we enter into these contracts and the time the related debt is issued. Gains and losses on such contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges, are reported in AOCI and amortized into earnings over the lives of the associated debt issuances.

No portions of our cash flow hedge contracts are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the ineffective portions of these hedging instruments were approximately $1 million of gains and $1 million of losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013 , the amounts expected to be reclassified out of AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months are approximately $25 million of net gains 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 were designated as fair value hedges. The terms of these interest rate swap contracts corresponded 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, we had outstanding interest rate swap contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $3.6 billion with respect to our 4.85% 2014 Notes, 5.85% 2017 Notes, 6.15% 2018 Notes and 5.70% 2019 Notes with rates that ranged from LIBOR plus 0.3% to LIBOR plus 2.6% . Due to historically low interest rates, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we terminated all of these interest rate swap contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , we entered into interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion with respect to our 3.875% 2021 Notes and our 3.625% 2022 Notes with rates that range from three-month LIBOR plus 1.6% 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, 2013 and 2012 , we included the unrealized losses on the hedged debt of $22 million and the unrealized gains on the hedged debt of $18 million , respectively, in the same line item, Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as the offsetting unrealized gains of $22 million and the unrealized losses of $18 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, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , the total notional amounts of these foreign currency forward contracts were $655 million and $629 million , respectively.

Our derivative contracts that were in liability positions as of March 31, 2013 , 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 derivative contracts are not subject to any type of master netting arrangement, and amounts due to or from a counterparty under

17


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, 2013 and 2012 , are included within Net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
11. 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, 2012, 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 a class action 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 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, 2012, 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 these filings 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:
    
State Derivative Litigation

Birch v. Sharer, et al.

Following plaintiff's voluntary motion to dismiss without prejudice this stockholder derivative lawsuit pending against Amgen and the individual defendants , on March 26, 2013, the Los Angeles Superior Court dismissed the matter without prejudice.

Purnell v. Sharer, et al.

On April 26, 2013, Amgen and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss this stockholder derivative lawsuit based on demand futility or, in the alternative, a motion to stay the action. Oral argument has been set for August 15, 2013. 

Other Qui Tam Actions
As previously disclosed, in October 2011 Amgen announced it had reached an agreement in principle to settle various allegations related to its sales and marketing practices arising out of several federal investigations, and on December 19, 2012, Amgen announced that it had finalized a settlement agreement with the U.S. government, 49 states and the District of Columbia related to those allegations (the 2012 Settlement). As previously disclosed, as part of those settlement discussions, Amgen was made aware that it was a defendant in several other civil qui tam actions (the Other Qui Tams) in addition to those included in the October 2011 agreement in principle. As previously disclosed, one of the Other Qui Tams was resolved by the 2012 Settlement and Amgen has been dismissed from two additional Other Qui Tams. Amgen has entered into a settlement agreement to resolve for an immaterial amount the fourth Other Qui Tam, which had been filed in the U.S. District Court for South Carolina. This matter included allegations that Amgen's market share rebate agreements with various long-term care pharmacy providers and the therapeutic interchange programs allegedly instituted by the long-term care pharmacy providers did not comply with the safe harbor requirements of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Amgen denied all of these allegations that were resolved by the settlement. Amgen has also reached an agreement in principle to resolve the fifth and final Other Qui Tam action, which remains under seal

18


in the U.S. federal court in which it was filed, for an immaterial amount. This final Other Qui Tam action includes allegations that Amgen's promotional, contracting, sales and marketing activities and arrangements relating to Aranesp ® , NEUPOGEN ® , Neulasta ® , XGEVA ® , Prolia ® , Vectibix ® and Nplate ® caused the submission of various false claims under the Federal Civil False Claims Act; until the proposed settlement becomes final, there can be no guarantee that this fifth Other Qui Tam action will be resolved by the agreement in principle.

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, 2012 . 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, 2012 . Our results of operations discussed in MD&A are presented in conformity with GAAP.
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. Our medicines help millions of patients in the fight against cancer, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, bone disease, and other serious illnesses. We operate in one business segment: human therapeutics. Therefore, our results of operations are discussed on a consolidated basis.
Currently, we market primarily recombinant protein therapeutics in supportive cancer care, inflammation, nephrology and bone disease. Our principal products are Neulasta ® (pegfilgrastim), NEUPOGEN ® (Filgrastim), Enbrel ® (etanercept), XGEVA ® (denosumab), Prolia ® (denosumab) 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, 2013 and 2012, our principal products represented 88% and 89% of worldwide product sales, respectively. Our other marketed products include principally Sensipar ® /Mimpara ® (cinacalcet), Vectibix ® (panitumumab) and Nplate ® (romiplostim).

Significant developments
Following is a summary of selected significant developments affecting our business that have occurred since December 31, 2012 . 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, 2012 .
Products/Pipeline
Talimogene Laherparepvec
On March 19, 2013, we announced top-line results from the 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 (GM-CSF).
The study met its primary endpoint of durable response rate (DRR), defined as the rate of complete or partial response lasting continuously for at least six months. A statistically significant difference was observed in DRR: 16 percent in the talimogene laherparepvec arm versus two percent in the GM-CSF arm. The analysis of overall survival (OS), a key secondary endpoint of the study, is event driven. A pre-planned interim analysis conducted with the analysis of DRR has shown an OS trend in favor of talimogene laherparepvec as compared to GM-CSF. The primary analysis of the OS data is expected in late 2013.
AMG 416
In April 2013, we announced we had initiated phase 3 studies for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Biosimilars
In April 2013, we announced plans to commence a pivotal study in the second quarter for biosimilar Herceptin ® (trastuzumab).
Selected financial information
The following is an overview of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , as well as our financial condition as of March 31, 2013 (in millions, except percentages and per share data):

The increase in global product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was driven by ENBREL, XGEVA ® and Prolia ® .
The decrease in other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was due to milestone payments received in 2012 from AstraZeneca and Astellas Pharma Inc.
The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was driven primarily by R&D and Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) spending.
The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was due primarily to a lower effective income tax rate driven by tax benefits recognized in the quarter.

21


The increase in diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was driven primarily by an increase in net income and, to a lesser extent, by the favorable impact of our stock repurchase program, which reduced the number of shares used to compute diluted EPS.
As of March 31, 2013 , our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $21.3 billion, and total debt outstanding was $23.9 billion. Of our total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances as of March 31, 2013 , approximately $17.9 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.

Global Neulasta ® sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , were in line with the prior year, as an increase in the average net sales price was offset by modest unit declines.
The decrease in global NEUPOGEN ® sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was driven by a decrease in unit demand.
Our outstanding material U.S. patents for Filgrastim (NEUPOGEN ® ) expire in December 2013. We expect to face competition in the United States beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, which may have a material adverse impact over time on sales of NEUPOGEN ® and, in turn, Neulasta ® . Our outstanding material U.S. patent for pegfilgrastim (Neulasta ® ) expires in 2015.

Cost of sales
Cost of sales decreased to 17.9% of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , which reflects lower inventory write-offs than the prior year; changes in product mix increased cost of sales as a percentage of product sales, however, manufacturing efficiencies and higher average net sales prices offset those increases. Excluding the impact of the excise tax imposed by Puerto Rico on the gross intercompany purchase price of goods and services from our manufacturer in Puerto Rico, cost of sales would have been 15.9% and 17.1% of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.
See Note 3, Income taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Puerto Rico excise tax.

The increase in R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was driven primarily by increased costs associated with supporting later-stage clinical programs of $105 million, including AMG 145, and increases in Discovery Research and Translational Sciences activities of $52 million. These were offset partially by reduced expenses associated with marketed product support of $15 million.
Selling, general and administrative
The increase in SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was driven primarily by higher ENBREL profit share expenses of $54 million. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2012, included a favorable change to the estimated U.S. healthcare reform federal excise fee of $42 million.
Under our ENBREL collaboration agreement, we currently pay Pfizer a percentage of annual gross profits on our ENBREL sales in the United States and Canada attributable to all approved indications for ENBREL on a scale that increases as gross profits increase; however, we maintain a majority share of ENBREL profits. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, expenses associated with the ENBREL profit share were $378 million and $324 million, respectively. After expiration of the co-promotion term on October 31, 2013, we will be required to pay Pfizer residual royalties, which are anticipated to be significantly less than what would be owed based on the terms of the current ENBREL profit share.

Interest expense, net
The increase in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was due primarily to a higher average debt balance.
Interest and other income, net
The increase in interest and other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was due primarily to higher net gains on sales of investments as well as higher interest income as a result of a higher average portfolio balance and higher portfolio investment returns.
Income taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , was (6.8)% , compared with 13.3% for the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in our effective tax rate was due primarily to the federal and state tax impacts of settlement of our examination with the IRS related to years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009. The settlement resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $185 million. In addition, the rate was further reduced by the retroactive reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit for 2012. The retroactive extension of the federal R&D tax credit for 2012 resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $60 million in addition to the 2013 impact of this credit. Excluding the impact of the Puerto Rico excise tax, our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, would have been (0.8)% and 18.5% , respectively.

The Company intends to continue to return capital to stockholders through share repurchases and the payment of cash dividends, reflecting our confidence in the future cash flows of our business. The amount we spend, the number of shares repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will vary based on a number of factors, including the stock price, the availability of financing on acceptable terms, the amount and timing of dividend payments and blackout periods in which we are restricted from repurchasing shares; and the manner of purchases may include private block purchases, tender offers and market transactions. Whether and when we declare dividends or repurchase stock, the size of any dividend and the amount of stock we repurchase could be affected by a number of additional factors. (See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 , Item 1A. Risk Factors—There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends or repurchase stock.) During the three months ended March 31, 2013 , we repurchased 9.1 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $771 million at an average price of $85.03 per share. As of March 31, 2013 , $1.6 billion remained available under our stock repurchase program, which is expected to cover our share repurchase activity into 2014. In December 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.47 per share of common stock, which was paid on March 7, 2013. In March 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.47 per share of common stock, which will be paid in June 2013.
In February 2013, our 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes matured/converted, and accordingly, the $2.5 billion principal amount was settled in cash. We also elected to pay the note holders who converted their notes $99 million of cash for the excess conversion value, as allowed under the original terms of the notes, which was offset by our receipt of the same amount of cash from the counterparty to the related convertible note hedge. In addition, on May 1, 2013, warrants to acquire 32 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $104.80 originally sold in connection with the issuance of the 0.375% 2013 Convertible Notes were exercised resulting in a net cash settlemen t of $100 million . See Note 7, Financing arrangements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of these transactions.
We believe that existing funds, cash generated from operations and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our needs for working capital; capital expenditure and debt service requirements; our plans to pay dividends and repurchase stock; and other business initiatives we plan to strategically pursue, including acquisitions and licensing activities, in each case for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including cash provided

26


by operating activities, sales of marketable securities, borrowings through commercial paper and/or our syndicated credit facility 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 repurchase stock and pay dividends with U.S. funds) for the foreseeable future. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 , 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, 2013 , accounts receivable in these four countries totaled $416 million, of which $282 million was past due, with the past due receivables primarily in Italy, Spain and Portugal. 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.
Certain of our financing arrangements contain non-financial covenants. In addition, our revolving credit agreement 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, 2013 .
Cash flows

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, 2013 , increased due primarily to the timing and amount of receipts from customers and payments to vendors and taxing authorities.
Investing
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 . Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 , was due primarily to net purchases of marketable securities of $ 1.2 billion as well as $969 million used to acquire Micromet, Inc., net of cash acquired.
Capital expenditures, which were associated primarily with manufacturing capacity expansions in Ireland and Puerto Rico, as well as other site developments, totaled $ 158 million and $ 144 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. We currently estimate 2013 spending on capital projects and equipment to be approximately $700 million.
Financing
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 .

27


Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 , was due primarily to the repurchases of our common stock of $ 1.4 billion and the payment of dividends of $285 million , offset partially by the net proceeds from issuance of common stock in connection with the Company's equity award programs of $374 million .
See Note 7, Financing arrangements, and Note 8, 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, 2012 . There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2013 .
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, 2012, and is incorporated herein by reference. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to the information provided in Part II, Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest rate sensitive financial instruments
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, to achieve a desired mix of fixed and floating rate debt, we entered into interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion. These derivative contracts qualify and have been designated for accounting purposes as fair value hedges and effectively convert a fixed rate interest coupon to a floating rate LIBOR-based coupon over the remaining life of the hedged notes. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates relative to interest rates at March 31, 2013, would have resulted in a reduction in fair value of approximately $200 million on our interest rate swap contracts on this date and would not result in a material effect on the related income or cash flows in the ensuing year.
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 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 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 Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013 .
Management determined that, as of March 31, 2013 , 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 11, Contingencies and commitments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussions that are limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings. These 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, 2012 .
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, 2012 , the primary risks related to our business and periodically update those risks for material developments. These 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 I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 .

AMGEN INC.
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
FIRST:          The name of this corporation is Amgen Inc.
SECOND:      The address of the registered office of this corporation in the State of Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, City of Wilmington 19808, County of New Castle, and the name of its registered agent at that address is Corporation Service Company.
THIRD:      The purpose of this corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware other than the banking business, the trust company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by the Delaware Corporations Code.
FOURTH:      This corporation is authorized to issue two (2) classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Preferred Stock” and “Common Stock.”  The total number of shares which this corporation is authorized to issue is Two Billion Seven Hundred and Fifty-Five Million (2,755,000,000) shares, of which Five Million (5,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock and Two Billion Seven Hundred and Fifty Million (2,750,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, all with a par value of $.0001.
The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series.  The Board of Directors is expressly authorized in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, to fix, state and express the powers, rights, designations, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including, without limitation: the rate of dividends upon which and the time at which dividends on shares of such series shall be payable and the preference, if any, which such dividends shall have relative to other series of stock of this corporation, whether such dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative, and if cumulative, the date or dates from which dividends on shares of such series shall be cumulative; the voting rights, if any, to be provided for shares of such series; the rights, if any, which the holders of shares of such series shall have in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of this corporation; the rights, if any, which the holders of shares of such series shall have to convert such shares into or exchange such shares for shares of stock of this corporation and the terms and conditions, including price and rate of exchange of such conversion or exchange; the redemption (including sinking fund provisions), if any, for shares of such series; and such other powers, rights, designations, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the Board of Directors may desire to so fix.  The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to fix the number of shares constituting such series and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series prior to the issue of shares of that series and to decrease, but not increase, the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding (in case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series).
FIFTH:          (a)      The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors of this corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Article FIFTH.
(b)      At each annual meeting of stockholders of this corporation commencing at the annual meeting of stockholders next following the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, all directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, by such stockholders having the right to vote on such election. The term of each director serving as of and immediately following the date of the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders shall expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders after such date,

1


notwithstanding that such director may have been elected for a term that extended beyond the date of such annual meeting of stockholders. Each director shall serve until the director's term expires in accordance with the foregoing provisions or until the director's prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office; provided that each director shall serve notwithstanding the expiration of the director's term until the director's successor shall be duly elected and qualified.
(c)      No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(d)      Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office (and not by stockholders), even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. The term of any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall expire at the next annual meeting of the stockholders. Each such director shall serve until the director's term expires in accordance with the foregoing provision or until the director's prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office; provided that the director shall serve notwithstanding the expiration of the director's term until the director's successor shall be duly elected and qualified.
SIXTH:      A director of this corporation shall not be personally liable to this corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to this corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
SEVENTH:      This corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change, or appeal any provisions contained herein, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights, preferences, and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors, or any other persons whomsoever by or pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the rights reserved in this Article.

EIGHTH:      All the powers of this corporation, insofar as the same may be lawfully vested by this Certificate of Incorporation in the Board of Directors, are hereby conferred upon the Board of Directors, who shall have full control over the affairs of this corporation. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law and by this Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized:
1.      To make, amend, repeal, or otherwise alter the Bylaws of this corporation, without any action on the part of the stockholders; provided, however, that any Bylaws made by the directors and any and all powers conferred by any of said Bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed by the stockholders.
2.      To fix, determine, and vary the amount to be reserved or maintained for any proper purpose, and to fix the times for the declaration and payment of dividends.
3.      To transfer all or any part of the assets of this corporation by way of mortgage, or in trust or in pledge, to secure indebtedness of this corporation, without any vote or consent of stockholders, and to authorize and to cause to be executed instruments evidencing any and all such transfers.

TENTH:          All actions required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of this corporation may be effected by the written consent of the holders of capital stock of this corporation entitled to vote; provided that no such action may be effected except in accordance with the provisions of this Article TENTH and applicable law.
(a)          Request for Record Date . The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be as fixed by the Board of Directors or as otherwise established under this Article TENTH. Any stockholder seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice addressed to the secretary of this corporation and delivered to this corporation and signed by holders of record of at least fifteen percent (15%) in voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of this corporation entitled to vote on the matter, request that a record date be fixed for such purpose.

The record date for such purpose shall be no more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not precede the date such resolution is adopted. If the request has been determined to be valid and to relate to an action that may be effected by written consent pursuant to this Article TENTH or if no such determination shall have been made by the date required by this Article TENTH, and in either event no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed written consent relating to the action taken or proposed to be taken by written consent is delivered to this corporation in the manner described in paragraph (f) of this Article TENTH; provided that, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required under the provisions of Delaware law, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
(b)          Notice Requirements . Any notice required by paragraph (a) of this Article TENTH must be delivered by the holders of record of at least fifteen percent (15%) in voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of this corporation entitled to vote on the matter (with evidence of such ownership attached to the notice), must describe the action proposed to be taken by written consent of

8


stockholders and must contain (i) such information and representations, to the extent applicable, then required by this corporation's bylaws as though such stockholder was intending to make a nomination or to bring any other matter before a meeting of stockholders, other than as permitted to be included in this corporation's proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and (ii) the text of the proposal(s) (including the text of any resolutions to be adopted by written consent of stockholders and the language of any proposed amendment to the bylaws of this corporation). This corporation may require the stockholder(s) submitting such notice to furnish such other information as may be requested by this corporation to determine the validity of the request for a record date and to determine whether the request relates to an action that may be effected by written consent under this Article TENTH. In connection with an action or actions proposed to be taken by written consent in accordance with this Article TENTH, the stockholders seeking such action or actions shall further update and supplement the information previously provided to this corporation in connection therewith, if necessary, as required by Section 15 of this corporation's bylaws.
(c)          Actions Which May Be Taken by Written Consent . Stockholders are not entitled to act by written consent if (i) the action relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, (ii) an identical or substantially similar item (a “Similar Item”) is included in this corporation's notice as an item of business to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders that has been called but not yet held, and the date of which is within ninety (90) days of the delivery of a request to set a record date (and, for purposes of this clause (ii) the election of directors shall be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to all items of business involving the election of directors but the removal of directors without the election of any replacements shall not be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to the election of directors) or (iii) such record date request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or other applicable law.
(d)          Manner of Consent Solicitation . Stockholders may take action by written consent only if consents are solicited by the stockholder or group of stockholders seeking to take action by written consent of stockholders from all holders of capital stock of this corporation entitled to vote on the matter pursuant to and in accordance with this Article TENTH and applicable law.
(e)          Date of Consent . Every written consent purporting to take or authorize the taking of corporate action (each such written consent is referred to in this paragraph and in paragraph (f) as a “Consent”) must bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the Consent, and no Consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated Consent delivered in the manner required by paragraph (f) of this Article TENTH, Consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take such action are so delivered to this corporation.
(f)          Delivery of Consents . No Consents may be dated or delivered to this corporation or its registered office in the State of Delaware until 90 days after the delivery of a valid request to set a record date. Consents must be delivered to this corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware or its principal place of business. Delivery must be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. In the event of the delivery to this corporation of Consents, the secretary of this corporation, or such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, shall provide for the safe-keeping of such Consents and any related revocations and shall promptly conduct such ministerial review of the sufficiency of all Consents and any related revocations and of the validity of the action to be taken by written consent as the secretary of this corporation, or such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, whether the stockholders of a number of shares having the requisite voting power to authorize or take the action specified in Consents have given consent; provided, however, that if the action to which the Consents relate is the removal or replacement of one or more members of the Board of Directors, the secretary of this

9


corporation, or such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, shall promptly designate two persons, who shall not be members of the Board of Directors, to serve as inspectors (“Inspectors”) with respect to such Consent and such Inspectors shall discharge the functions of the secretary of this corporation, or such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, under this Article TENTH. If after such investigation the secretary of this corporation, such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, shall determine that the action purported to have been taken is duly authorized by the Consents, that fact shall be certified on the records of this corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders and the Consents shall be filed in such records. In conducting the investigation required by this section, the secretary of this corporation, such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, may, at the expense of this corporation, retain special legal counsel and any other necessary or appropriate professional advisors as such person or persons may deem necessary or appropriate and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the opinion of such counsel or advisors.
(g)          Effectiveness of Consent . Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate to the contrary, no action may be taken by the stockholders by written consent except in accordance with this Article TENTH. If the Board of Directors shall determine that any request to fix a record date or to take stockholder action by written consent was not properly made in accordance with, or relates to an action that may not be effected by written consent pursuant to, this Article TENTH, or the stockholder or stockholders seeking to take such action do not otherwise comply with this Article TENTH, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix a record date and any such purported action by written consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. No action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the secretary of this corporation, such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, or the Inspectors, as applicable, certify to this corporation that the Consents delivered to this corporation in accordance with paragraph (f) of this section, represent at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, in accordance with Delaware law and this Certificate of Incorporation.
(h)          Challenge to Validity of Consent . Nothing contained in this Article TENTH shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors of this corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any Consent or related revocations, whether before or after such certification by the secretary of this corporation, such other officer of this corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution, or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).
(i)          Board-solicited Stockholder Action by Written Consent . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, (x) none of the foregoing provisions of this Article TENTH shall apply to any solicitation of stockholder action by written consent by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and (y) the Board of Directors shall be entitled to solicit stockholder action by written consent in accordance with applicable law.

GRANT OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
    

THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF YOUR STOCK OPTION ARE FOUND IN THE PAGES RELATING TO THE GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS 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 GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS.

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 ”), an option (the “ Option ”) to purchase the number of shares of the $0.0001 par value common stock of the Company (the “ Shares ”) specified in the Award Notice, pursuant to the terms set forth in this Stock Option Agreement, any special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the attached Appendix A and the Award Notice (together, the “ Agreement ”). This Option is not intended to qualify and will not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the regulations and other official guidance promulgated thereunder, the “ Code ”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

The provisions of your Option are as follows:

I.          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, on each Vesting Date the Option shall vest with respect to the number of Shares indicated on the Vesting Schedule, provided that you have remained continuously and actively employed with the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Plan) through each applicable Vesting Date, unless [(i) your employment has terminated due to your Voluntary Termination (as defined in Section IV(A)(5)) or (ii)]* ii you experience a Qualified Termination (as defined in Section IV(B)(4)), or as otherwise determined by the Company in the exercise of its discretion as provided in Section IV(A)(7). This Option may only be exercised for whole shares of the Common Stock, and the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any fractional Shares to you. Subject to the limitations contained herein, this Option shall be exercisable with respect to each installment on or after the applicable Vesting Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Vesting Schedule may be accelerated (by notice in writing) by the Company in its sole discretion at any time during the term of this Option. In addition, if not prohibited by local law, vesting may be suspended by the Company in its sole discretion during a leave of absence as provided from time to time according to Company policies and practices.

II.          (1)      The per share exercise price of this Option is the Grant Price as defined in the Award Notice, being not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of this Option.

(2)      To the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, payment of the exercise price per share is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of each installment which has become exercisable by you by means of (i) cash or a check, (ii) any cashless exercise procedure through the use of a brokerage arrangement approved by the Company, or (iii) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board or the Committee in their discretion.

(3)      To the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, if, at the time of exercise, the Company's Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal , payment of the exercise price may be made by delivery of already-owned Shares of a value equal to the exercise price of the Shares for which this Option is being exercised. The already-owned Shares must have been owned by you for the period required to avoid adverse accounting treatment and owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests. Payment may also be made by a combination of cash and already-owned Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to restrict the methods of payment of the exercise price if necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law or regulation, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

III.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contain herein, the Company shall not take any actions 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. The Company, in its sole discretion, may impose any timing or other restrictions with respect to the exercise of this Option arising from compliance with any securities or tax laws or other rules or regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Option may not be exercised and no Shares underlying the Option will 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 exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that the issuance satisfies all other applicable legal requirements. If the Option cannot be exercised and expires during this period, you will forfeit the Option and no Shares or value will be transferred to you.

IV.      (A)      The term of this Option commences on the Grant Date and, unless sooner terminated as set forth below or in the Plan, terminates on the [_______ (__th)] anniversary of the date of this Option (the “ Expiration Date ”). This Option shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date as follows: three (3) months after the termination of your employment with the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Plan) for any reason or for no reason, including if your employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause (as defined below), or in the event of any other termination of your employment caused directly or indirectly by the Company or an Affiliate, unless:

(1)      such termination of your employment is due to your Permanent and Total Disability (as defined below), in which case the Option shall terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or five (5) years after termination of your employment and the vesting of the Option shall be accelerated and the Option shall be fully exercisable, subject to your execution of a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company, as of the day immediately preceding such termination of your employment with respect to the Option, except that if the Option was granted in the calendar year in which such termination

2


occurs, the Option shall be accelerated to vest with respect to a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares subject to the Option 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);

(1) “ termination of your employment ” shall mean the last date you are either an active employee of the Company or an Affiliate or actively engaged as a consultant or director to the Company or an Affiliate; in the event of termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive options and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law ( e.g. , active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law). Your right, if any, to exercise the Option after termination of employment will be measured by the date of termination of your active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law;

(2)  “ 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.

(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 any Award Agreement to the contrary, if a Change of Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award 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 Award.

(6) “ 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 any 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
(7) “ Disability ” shall be determined in accordance with the Company's long-term

(B)      Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “ Employer ”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, 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: (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Option grant, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option 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.

(C)      Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or your Employer 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:

(2)      withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization).

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.
(D)      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 V. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, 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.          This Option is not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you except if you have named a trust created for the benefit of

6


you, your spouse, or members of your immediate family (a “Trust”) as beneficiary of this Option, this Option may be exercised by the Trust after your death.

VII.          Any notices provided for in this Option 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 the address specified above or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company Stock Administrator.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

IX .          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 Option by and among, as applicable, your Employer, the Company, or 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, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose 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 purposes 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 exercise of this Option may be deposited.

Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not

7


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 Options 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.

Vesting of the Option.

Option Cashless Exercise Restriction.   Due to legal restrictions in the PRC, you will be required to pay the exercise price for any Shares subject to the Option granted hereunder by a cashless sell-all exercise, such that all Shares will be sold immediately upon exercise and the cash proceeds of sale, less the exercise price, any Tax Obligations and broker's fees or commissions, will be remitted to you. The Company reserves the right to provide additional methods of exercise depending on local developments.

Exchange Control Requirements. You understand and agree that, pursuant to PRC exchange control requirements, you will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Option 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 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 agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the date the Option is exercised and the time that (i) the Tax Obligations are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities, and (ii) net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to you. You acknowledge that neither the Company nor any Affiliate will be held liable for any delay in delivering the proceeds to you. You agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be requested by the Company or the Company's designated broker to effectuate any of the remittances, transfers, conversions or other processes affecting the proceeds. 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.

Appendix A- 5


outside Denmark, you must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration. The form which should be used in this respect can be obtained from a local bank. (These obligations are separate from and in addition to the obligations described below.)

Securities/Tax Reporting Information.   If you hold Shares acquired under the Plan in a brokerage account with a broker or bank outside Denmark, you are required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the account. For this purpose, you must sign and file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration. In the event that the applicable broker or bank with which the account is held does not also sign the Form V, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account and any Shares acquired under the Plan and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of your annual income tax return. By signing the Form V, you authorize the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.

In addition, if you open a brokerage account (or a deposit account with a U.S. bank) for the purpose of holding cash outside Denmark, you are also required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about this account. To do so, you must file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration. The Form K must be signed both by you and by the applicable broker or bank where the account is held, unless an exemption from the broker/bank signature requirement is obtained from the Danish Tax Administration (which exemption may be sought on the Form K itself). By signing the Form K, you (and the broker/bank to the extent the exemption is not obtained) undertake an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the account. By signing the Form K, you authorize the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.

If you exercise the Option by means of the cashless method of exercise, you are not required to file a Form V because you will not hold any Shares. However, if you open a deposit account with a foreign broker or bank to hold the cash proceeds, you are required to file a Form K as described above.

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control Information. If you acquire Shares valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction, you must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the purchase of the Shares.

By accepting the Option granted hereunder and participating in the Plan, you acknowledge having read and understood this Securities Law Notification and further acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider trading rules:

The insider could be any employee of any Affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company working at an Affiliate in the Netherlands (including persons eligible to participate in the Plan) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of such inside information.

SPAIN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

By accepting the Option 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 the Option 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 the Option 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 Option 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 Option since the future value of the Option and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that the Option 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 an Option or right to an Option shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Option is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service, such that if your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Option may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of your termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section IV 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

Appendix A- 17


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 Options 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 IV of the Agreement.

Securities Law Information. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Appendix) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores , and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Exchange Control Information. When receiving foreign currency payments exceeding €50,000 derived from the ownership of Shares ( i.e. , dividends or sale proceeds), you must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. You will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) your name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment and the currency used; (iv) the country of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and (vi) further information that may be required.

If you acquire Shares under the Plan, you must declare the acquisition to the Direccion General de Comercol e Inversiones (“DGCI”). If you acquire the Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration by filing a D-6 form with the DGCI for you; otherwise you will be required to make the declaration by filing a D-6 form. You must declare ownership of the 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 Assets Reporting Information.  Effective January 1, 2013, 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.

TURKEY

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information. Under Turkish law, you are not permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan in Turkey. You must sell the Shares acquired under the Plan outside of Turkey. The Shares are currently traded on the NASDAQ in the U.S. under the ticker symbol “AMGN” and Shares may be sold on this exchange, which is located outside of Turkey.
 
Exchange Control Information. Turkish exchange control regulations require Turkish residents to buy Shares through financial intermediary institutions that are approved under the Capital Markets Law ( i.e. , banks licensed in Turkey). Therefore, if you use cash to pay the exercise price for the Option, the funds must be remitted through a bank or other financial institution licensed in Turkey. A wire transfer of funds by a Turkish bank will satisfy this requirement. If you exercise the Option by way of a cashless method of exercise, this requirement does not apply because no funds will be remitted out of Turkey.

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 Tax Obligations that you owe upon exercise of the Option, or the release or assignment of the Option for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Option (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 V 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 upon exercise of the Option 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.

Appendix A- 19



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 Tax Obligations are not collected from you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax Obligations 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.

Joint Election. As a condition of the Option 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 exercise of the Option and issuance of Shares subject to the Option, the assignment or release of the Option for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Option.
    
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 Option, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

Appendix A- 3



TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms apply only to nationals of the People's Republic of China (the “PRC”) residing in the PRC :

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 and its Affiliates prior to the receipt of SAFE approval, your unvested Units will be forfeited.
Immediate Sale Restriction. 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.

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.

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- 4


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.

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

Appendix A- 15


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.

If you acquire Shares under the Plan, you must declare the acquisition to the Direccion General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”). If you acquire the Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration to the DGCI for you; otherwise, you will be required to make the declaration by filing a D-6 form. 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.

ADMINISTRATION

4.1      Generally . The Committee shall establish the basis for payments under this Program in relation to specified Performance Goals, as more fully described in Article V hereof. With respect to the 162(m) Participants, the Committee shall establish the basis for payments under this Program in relation to specified Performance Goals no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the beginning of such Performance Period, but in no event after 25 percent of the Performance Period has lapsed. Following the end of each Performance Period, once all of the information necessary for the Committee to determine the Company's performance is made available to the Committee, the Committee shall determine the amount of the Award payable to each Participant; provided, however , that any such determination shall be made no later than six months following the end of such Performance Period (the date of such determination shall hereinafter be called the “ Determination Date ”). The Committee shall have the power and authority granted it under Article 12 of the 2009 Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to construe and interpret this Program, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules, regulations and procedures relating to its administration and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administration of this Program. Decisions of the Committee in accordance with the authority granted hereby shall be conclusive and binding. Subject only to compliance with the express provisions hereof, the Committee may act in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to matters within its authority under this Program.

4.2      Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants . Subject to the sole discretion of the Committee, any Awards paid hereunder to a Section 162(m) Participant shall satisfy and shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies any applicable requirements as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and any provisions, application or interpretation of the Program or the 2009 Plan that is inconsistent with this intent shall be disregarded.

4.3      Provisions Applicable to Participants in Foreign Jurisdictions . Notwithstanding any provision of the Program to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company

(iv)      take any other action, before or after an award of Performance Units is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.

ARTICLE V

AWARD DETERMINATIONS
 
5.1      Award of Performance Units . The Committee shall determine the number of Performance Units (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be awarded under this Program to each Participant with respect to such Performance Period. With respect to the Section 162(m) Participants, the Committee shall determine the number of Performance Units (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be awarded under this Program to each Section 162(m) Participant with respect to such Performance Period no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the beginning of such Performance Period, but in no event after 25 percent of the Performance Period has elapsed. Performance Units granted under the Program shall constitute Performance Awards under Article 9 of the 2009 Plan.

5.2      Performance Requirements . The Committee shall approve the performance goals (collectively, the “ Performance Goals ”) with respect to any of the business criteria permitted under the 2009 Plan, each subject to such adjustments as the Committee may specify in writing at such time, and shall establish a formula, standard or schedule which aligns the level of achievement of the Performance Goals with the earned Performance Units.
With respect to the Section 162(m) Participants, the Committee shall approve the Performance Goals no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the beginning of such Performance Period, but in no event after 25 percent of the Performance Period has elapsed, and the Performance Goals may not be changed during the Performance Period, but the thresholds, targets and multiplier measures of the Performance Goals shall be subject to such adjustments as the Committee may specify in writing no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the beginning of such Performance Period, but in no event after 25 percent of the Performance Period has elapsed.

5.3      Dividend Equivalents . The Committee shall determine whether Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to Performance Units awarded under the Program pursuant to Section 9.2 of the

4


2009 Plan on such terms and conditions determined by the Committee.  Any such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited in cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE VI

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

6.1      Form and Timing of Payment . Except as set forth in Section 8.1 below, no Award payable pursuant to this Program shall be paid unless and until the Committee certifies, in writing, the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved and the corresponding number of Performance Units earned. The specified payment date applicable to such Awards shall be the year immediately following the tax year including the end of the Performance Period. Shares of Common Stock issued in respect of an Award shall be deemed to be issued in consideration for future services to be rendered or past services actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit, by the Participant, which the Committee deems to have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value thereof.
6.2      Tax Withholding . Regardless of any action the Company or its Affiliate 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 participation in the Program and legally applicable to the Participant (“ Tax Obligations ”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or its Affiliate. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Affiliate (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 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 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 Performance Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or its Affiliate 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, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to its Affiliate (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or its Affiliate or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy all applicable Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following:

(a)      withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or its Affiliate; or

(b)      withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting or payment of the Performance Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(c)      withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting or payment of the Performance Units, provided that the Company and its Affiliate shall only withhold an amount of shares of Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations.


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 of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Performance Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Obligations due as a result of any aspect of the Participant's participation in the Program (any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company hereunder shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Program and shall remain available for issuance thereunder).

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or its Affiliate any amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or its Affiliate may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant's participation in the Program that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Participant agrees to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 6.2. Notwithstanding Section 6.1 above, the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if the Participant fails to comply with its obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

ARTICLE VII

For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of the Participant's Award (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall be determined based on the Company's performance as compared to the Performance Goals for such Performance Period and (i) if the Award was granted with respect to a Performance Period commencing in a calendar year prior to the calendar year in which such Voluntary Retirement occurs, the full amount of the Award is payable, and (ii) if the Award was granted with respect to the Performance Period commencing in the calendar year in which such Voluntary Retirement occurs, the Award otherwise payable is multiplied by a fraction (rounded to two decimal places), the numerator of which is the number of complete months of employment during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be entitled to such full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) unless either such Participant signs a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company and delivers it to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company, or the Company waives such release requirement in writing; provided , however , that in no event shall payment of such full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award be made later than the specified payment date as set forth in Section 6.1 above.

(b)      In the event that a Participant's employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to the last business day of a Performance Period by reason of such Participant's death or Permanent and Total Disability, the full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award, if any, applicable to such Performance Period shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article VI above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Participant whose employment is terminated due to such Participant's Permanent and Total Disability, such Participant shall not be entitled to such full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) unless either such Participant signs a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company and delivers it to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company, or the Company waives such release requirement in writing; provided , however , that in no event shall payment of such full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award be made later than the specified payment date as set forth in Section 6.1 above.

(c)      In the event that a Participant's employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated prior to the last business day of a Performance Period for any reason other than as specified in Sections 7.1(a) and (b) above, all of such Participant's rights to an Award for such Performance Period shall be forfeited, unless, prior to the payment date described in Article VI above, the Company, in its sole discretion, makes a written determination to otherwise pay the full or prorated amount of the Participant's Award, if any, applicable to such Performance Period, which full or prorated amount shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article VI above. For purposes of the foregoing, if the payment of the Participant's Award is prorated, the amount of the Participant's Award (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall be determined based on the Company's performance as compared to the Performance Goals for such Performance Period and the Award otherwise payable is multiplied by a fraction (rounded to two decimal places), the numerator of which is the number of complete months of employment during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be entitled to such full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) unless either such Participant signs a general release and waiver in a form provided by the Company and delivers it to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company, or the Company waives such release requirement in writing; provided , however , that in no event shall payment of such full or prorated amount of such Participant's Award be made later than the specified payment date as set forth in Section 6.1 above.

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 to achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction

1


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 Units which were previously paid or forfeited) as if each such amount had been reinvested in Common Stock

2


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. Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable on any Performance Units that do not vest, or are forfeited, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
VII. Nontransferability . No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Agreement or in the Shares that may become issuable 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 VII shall prevent transfer (i) by will or (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution.
VIII. No Contract for Employment . This Agreement is not an employment or service contract with the Company or an Affiliate and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate.
IX. Nature of Grant . In accepting the grant of Performance Units, you acknowledge that:
(a)      the Plan and the Program are established voluntarily by the Company, are discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and in the Program;
(b)      the grant of the Performance Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance 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 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;
(e)      your participation in the Plan and the Program is voluntary;
(f)      the grant of Performance Units and the Shares subject to the Performance Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(g)      neither the grant of Performance Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan, the Program or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan or Program 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 of the Company;

3


(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;
(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 and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law ( e.g. , active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law);
(k)      except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Performance Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance 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; and
(l)      the following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States:     
(A)      for employment law purposes outside the United States, the Performance Units and underlying Shares 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
(B)      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 Performance Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Performance Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
X. No Advice Regarding Grant . The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan and the Program, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. You are hereby advised to consult with your personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan and the Program before taking any action related thereto.
XI. Notices . Any notices provided for in this Agreement, the Plan or the Program 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 designate by written notice to the Company Stock Administrator.

XII. Resolutions, Plan and Program . This Agreement is subject to all the provisions of the Resolutions, the Plan and the Program and their provisions are hereby made a part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, the provisions of Articles 5 and 9 of the Plan (relating to Performance-Based Compensation and Performance Awards, respectively) and Section 13.2 of the Plan (relating to adjustments upon changes in the Common Stock), 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 Resolutions, the Plan and the Program, the provisions of the Plan shall control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Program to the contrary, any earned Performance Units paid in cash rather than Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan.
XIII. No Compensation Deferral . The Performance Units are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (together with the regulations and official guidance promulgated thereunder, the “ Code ”). 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 . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Program 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 , your award of Performance Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for such 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 and the Program;
(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;
(c)      to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws, the payment of any earned Performance Units shall be made in cash or Common Stock, at the Company's election; and
(d)      the Committee may take any other action, before or after an award of Performance Units is made, that it deems necessary or 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, and no Award of Performance Units shall be granted, and no Shares payable with respect to an Award shall be issued, 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

5


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 Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan and the Program. 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.

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 :

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

Immediate Sale Restriction. 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.

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

Appendix A- 4


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.

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 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.

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, 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 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 Tax Obligations are not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax Obligations 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.

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

Appendix A- 18


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.

Restricted Stock Units shall constitute Restricted Stock Units under Section 9.5 of the 2009 Plan.
3.2      Terms of Restricted Stock Units .
(a)      Each Restricted Stock Unit granted pursuant to this Program shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Restricted Stock Units need not be identical, but each Restricted Stock Unit shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Restricted Stock Unit agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions as set forth in this Section 3.2 and Section 9.5 of the 2009 Plan.
(b)      Each grant of Restricted Stock Units made to an Eligible Director shall be fully vested as of the date of grant of such Restricted Stock Units (such date, “ Vesting Date ”).
(c)      A holder's vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid by the Company in shares of Common Stock (on a one-to-one basis) on, or as soon as practicable after, the Vesting Date (the “ Payment Date ”), but in any event by the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the tax year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest, unless the Eligible Director has irrevocably elected in writing by December 31 of the year preceding the grant of such Restricted Stock Units to defer the payment of such Restricted Stock Units, and any dividends paid thereon, to another date under one of the following options, which payment form or forms shall be specified at the time of the deferral election (the “ Deferred Payment Date ”): (i) full payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units in January of a year specified by the Eligible Director which shall be no earlier than the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the date of grant occurs and no later than the tenth calendar year following such year; (ii) full payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units in January of the calendar year following the year in which the Eligible Director with respect to whom the Restricted Stock Units were granted ceases to be an Eligible Director and ceases to otherwise provide services to the Company in a manner that constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) for any reason; (iii) payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units in five substantially equal annual installments, commencing in January of the calendar year following the year in which the Eligible Director with respect to whom the Restricted Stock Units were granted ceases to be an Eligible Director and ceases to otherwise provide services to the Company in a manner that constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning Code Section 409A) for any reason; or (iv) payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units in ten substantially equal annual installments, commencing in January of the calendar year

2


following the year in which the Eligible Director with respect to whom the Restricted Stock Units were granted ceases to be an Eligible Director and ceases to otherwise provide services to the Company in a manner that constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning Code Section 409A) for any reason. Shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration for future services to be rendered or past services actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit, by the Eligible Director, which the Board deems to have a value not less than the par value of a share of Common Stock.

3.3      Dividend Equivalents .

(a)      Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents . Subject to this Section 3.3, Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on each Restricted Stock Unit granted to an Eligible Director under the Program in the manner set forth in the remainder of this Section 3.3. 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 date of grant through and including the day immediately preceding the day the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are issued to the Eligible Director, whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property, then on the date such Dividend is paid to the Company's stockholders the Eligible Director shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount or fair market value of such Dividend which would have been payable to the Eligible Director if the Eligible Director held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of the Eligible Director's Restricted Stock Units as of the record 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 Board 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 3.3, any Dividend Equivalents credited to an Eligible Director shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Program and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement which apply to the Restricted Stock 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 Restricted Stock Unit becomes payable.
ARTICLE IV

4.1      Administration of the Program . The Program shall be administered by the Board and, to the extent permitted by applicable law or the rules of any Securities Exchange, the Board may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board the authority to administer the Program.
4.2      Application of 2009 Plan . The Program is subject to all the provisions of the 2009 Plan, including Section 13.2 thereof (relating to adjustments upon changes in the Common Stock), and its provisions are hereby made a part of the Program, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the 2009 Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Program and those of the 2009 Plan, the provisions of the 2009 Plan shall control.
4.3      Amendment and Termination . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board may, at any time, terminate, modify or suspend the Program; provided, however, that, without the prior consent of the Eligible Directors affected, no such action may adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect

3


to any Awards theretofore earned but unpaid, whether or not the amounts of such Awards have been computed and whether or not such Awards are then payable. Any amendment of this Program may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be accomplished in a manner calculated to cause such amendment not to constitute an “extension,” “renewal” or “modification” (each within the meaning of Code Section 409A) of any Restricted Stock Units that would cause such Restricted Stock Units to be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A).
4.4      No Contract for Employment . Nothing contained in the Program or in any document related to the Program or to any Award shall confer upon any Eligible Director any right to continue as a director or in the service or employment of the Company or an Affiliate or constitute any contract or agreement of service or employment for a specific term or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to reduce such person's compensation, to change the position held by such person or to terminate the service of such person, with or without cause.
4.5      Nontransferability .
(a)      No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Program 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, debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of any Eligible Director or beneficiary; provided, however, that, nothing in this Section 4.5 shall prevent transfer (i) by will, (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution or (iii) to an Alternate Payee to the extent that a QDRO so provides.
(b)      The transfer to an Alternate Payee of an Award pursuant to a QDRO shall not be treated as having caused a new grant. If an Award is so transferred, the Alternate Payee generally has the same rights as the Eligible Director under the terms of the Program; provided however , that (i) the Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including the vesting terms, termination provisions and exercise period, as if the Award were still held by the Eligible Director, and (ii) such Alternate Payee may not transfer an Award. In the event of the Company Stock Administrator's receipt of a domestic relations order or other notice of adverse claim by an Alternate Payee of an Eligible Director of an Award, transfer of the proceeds of the exercise of such Award, whether in the form of cash, stock or other property, may be suspended. Such proceeds shall thereafter be transferred pursuant to the terms of a QDRO or other agreement between the Eligible Director and Alternate Payee. An Eligible Director's ability to exercise an Award may be barred if the Company Stock Administrator receives a court order directing the Company Stock Administrator not to permit exercise.
4.6      Nature of Program . No Eligible Director, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of any award hereunder. There shall be no funding of any benefits which may become payable hereunder. Nothing contained in this Program (or in any document related thereto), nor the creation or adoption of this Program, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Program shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or an Affiliate and any Eligible Director, beneficiary or other person. To the extent that an Eligible Director, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment with respect to an award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or other employing entity, as applicable. All amounts payable under this Program shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or employing entity, as applicable, and no special or separate fund or deposit shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts. Nothing in this Program shall be deemed to give any person any right to participate in this Program except in accordance herewith.

4


4.7      Governing Law . This Program shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
4.8      Code Section 409A .      To the extent that this Program constitutes a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of with Code Section 409A and 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 Effective Date, this Program shall be interpreted and operated in accordance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Program to the contrary, in the event that following the grant of any Restricted Stock Units, the Board determines that any Award does or may violate any of the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Board may adopt such amendments to the Program and any affected Award or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Program and any such Award from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the 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 Board to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action.
