                                PROMISSORY NOTE
                                ---------------


$250,000.00


1.  Promise to Pay.
    --------------

    For value received, I, Fabrizio Bonanni ("Staff Member"), a married man, and
    I, Lorraine Bonanni, wife of Staff Member, promise to pay to the order of
    Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Payee"), at its office at One Amgen
    Center Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA  91320-1789, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty
    Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($250,000.00) (the "Principal"), payable in
    full on the earlier of five (5) years from date of execution of this Note or
    thirty (30) days from the date on which Staff Member ceases to be an
    employee of Payee, whichever first occurs, together with interest on the
    Principal from the date of this Note until such date as the Note is paid in
    full.  Interest on this Note shall be computed as set forth below.  The
    interest rate for the period from the date of this Note through December 31,
    1999 (the "initial rate") is 4.4% per annum on the unpaid Principal.  After
    December 31, 1999 the interest rate on this Note shall change as set forth
    below.

2.  Adjustable Interest Rate.
    ------------------------

    The interest rate shall be adjusted annually on January 1 of each year (the
    "Change Date") so as to equal the average interest rate designated as the
    "Introduction Rates" on adjustable rate loans as publicly offered by the
    banks and savings and loans in California as published by the Los Angeles
    Times in its Sunday edition.  The rate shall be set using the rates
    published in the Los Angeles Times on the Sunday immediately preceding the
    Change Date.  In the event that the "Introduction Rates" list is not
    published in the Los Angeles Times for any reason, then, in such event, the
    Payee shall establish the interest rate based on a survey by it of the
    introductory interest rates on adjustable loans offered by no fewer than
    five banking institutions located in Southern California that the Payee, in
    its sole discretion, deems representative of banking institutions in the
    Ventura and Los Angeles County areas.  Payee shall give Staff Member notice
    if the interest rate shall be determined using this alternative method.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate shall never be increased or
    decreased on any single Change Date by more than one percentage point from
    the interest rate for the preceding 12 months.  At no time during the term
    of this Note shall the annual interest rate exceed 7.4% per annum.

    Payee shall deliver or mail to Staff Member a notice of any changes in the
    adjustable interest rate on this Note and the amount of the Staff Member's
    semi-monthly payroll deductions before the effective date of any change.
    The notice shall include information required by law to be given to Staff
    Member and also the title and telephone number of a person who shall answer
    any questions Staff Member may have regarding the notice.

3.  Salary Deduction.
    ----------------

    The interest on this Note shall be payable by semi-monthly deductions from
    Staff Member's salary.  The amount of such deductions shall initially be
    Four Hundred Fifty Eight Dollars and Thirty Three Cents ($458.33) per
    installment; provided, however, that the manner of payment of this Note
    shall not be limited to deductions from Staff Member's salary.  The amount
    of such deductions shall be adjusted annually concurrently with any
    adjustment in the interest rate on this Note to ensure that interest to be
    incurred during the ensuing calendar year shall be paid in twenty-four (24)
    equal payments.  The first such installment shall be on November 30, 1999;
    the second installment shall be on December 15, 1999; and each successive
    installment shall be on the fifteenth and last days of each successive month
    until the Principal is repaid.  Payee shall give Staff Member at least seven
    (7) days advance notice of any adjustment in the amount of said payroll
    deductions.  Staff Member
<PAGE>

    acknowledges and agrees that by executing this
    Note, Staff Member agrees to the payroll deductions described in this Note.

4.  Option to Convert.
    -----------------

    At the end of the term of this Note, Staff Member shall have the option to
    seek to convert this loan to a loan amortized over an additional five-year
    period by executing a new Promissory Note at terms to be mutually agreed
    upon by Staff Member and Payee.  In the event that Staff Member and Payee
    are unable to reach agreement on such terms, this Note shall become
    immediately due and payable.
