March 2, 2001

Mr. George J. Morrow
3102 Devon Road
Durham, North Carolina 27707

Dear George:

Amendment and Restatement of December 19, 2000 Letter
-----------------------------------------------------

The following is our letter agreement dated December 19, 2000, which has been
restated to reflect our oral agreements on a few points which were not reflected
in the December 19, 2000 letter (the "Original Letter"). As so amended and
restated, this letter supersedes the Original Letter and shall be effective as
of January 19, 2001, the date upon which you became an employee of Amgen (your
"Start Date"). There is no need for you to re-sign your Proprietary Information
and Inventions Agreement and your Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Claims which
were attached as Attachment 1 to the Original Letter, which agreements you
signed on December 27, 2000, because we have made no changes to those
agreements. Accordingly, those agreements continue to be in full force and
effect. However, the attached Attachment 2 has been revised and the attached
Attachment 3 is new.

Amended and Restated Letter
---------------------------

I am pleased to offer you the position of Executive Vice President of Worldwide
Sales and Marketing reporting to me. You will be based at our Thousand Oaks,
California facility.

Base Salary and Annual Incentive
--------------------------------

Your monthly salary will be $54,167. In addition, you will be entitled to a
$750,000 bonus which will be paid within 30 days of your start date. As an
Executive Vice President, you will be eligible to participate in Amgen's
Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP") pursuant to the terms of the MIP. Your
annual target incentive opportunity will be 70% of your base salary earnings
during the year. Your performance against pre-established goals and Amgen's
performance will determine your actual incentive each year. However, in order to
ease your transition to a new company and a new area, Amgen will guarantee a
minimum incentive payment of $750,000 (payable in March 2002) for 2001 and
$750,000 (payable in March 2003) for 2002. You must be actively employed by
Amgen on December 31, 2001 and on December 31, 2002 to receive the guaranteed
payments for 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Annual Retention Bonuses
------------------------

On each of the first five one-year anniversaries of your Start Date, beginning
on January 19, 2002, Amgen will pay you a retention bonus in the amount of
$200,000, provided that
<PAGE>

George J. Morrow
March 2, 2001

you are actively employed by Amgen on each such date. If you are not so employed
on each such date, no portion of the bonus is considered earned or vested and no
prorated payments will be made.

Stock Options
-------------

Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of Amgen's Board of
Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Amgen's
common stock at a price equal to 100% of the fair market value on your start
date. In the event you begin work prior to the approval of the stock option
grant, the price will be set on the date that approval is obtained. This option
shall be an incentive stock option to the extent permitted by law, with the
balance being granted as a non-qualified stock option. This option shall be
vested at a rate of 25% per year for four years, beginning one year from the
date of grant, and the option will expire seven years from the date of grant.

In addition, you will also be eligible to receive additional stock options as
part of Amgen's Periodic Stock Option Program (the "PSOP"). Grants under the
PSOP are discretionary and are usually made in July of each year, as approved by
Amgen's Compensation Committee. However, for 2001 and 2002, subject to approval
by the Compensation Committee of Amgen's Board of Directors, Amgen will grant
you an option to purchase 150,000 shares in each of the two years. These options
will be granted pursuant to, and in conformity with, the terms of the PSOP.
These PSOP options will vest 20% per year for five years, beginning one year
from the date of grant, and the options will expire seven years from the date of
grant. You must be actively employed by Amgen on the PSOP grant date in each
year to receive the PSOP grant for that year.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
-----------------------------------

Amgen will provide you with non-qualified deferred compensation benefits as set
forth on Attachment 3, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth
therein.

Split Dollar Life Insurance
---------------------------

Amgen will assume responsibility for or provide alternative compensation for the
split dollar life insurance policy that was in place at your former employer.

Termination
-----------

If, within the first five years of your employment with Amgen, either: (i) Amgen
terminates your employment without Cause, as defined below, or (ii) you resign
your employment due to a reduction of your duties or your base salary or annual
target incentive opportunity under the MIP, then you will be entitled to three
years of base salary and target incentive paid monthly and health care coverage
unless coverage is obtained from another employer, but only if you sign a
                                                       ----
general release form furnished to you by Amgen. If you intend to resign your
employment for reduction of duties or compensation, you must notify the Company
in writing. If Amgen fails to cure or
<PAGE>

George J. Morrow
March 2, 2001

remedy your reason for resignation within thirty (30) days of its receipt of
your notification and you still choose to resign, you must do so within fifteen
(15) days of Amgen's failure to cure or remedy your reason. If you are also
entitled to receive severance benefits under the Amgen Inc. Change of Control
Severance Plan (the "COC Plan") on account of a termination covered by this
provision, you will be paid the greater of the amount provided above or provided
in the COC Plan, but not both amounts.

Solely for the purpose of this provision and Attachment 3, "Cause" means (i)
your conviction of a felony, (ii) the engaging by you in conduct that
constitutes willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct in carrying out
your duties to Amgen, resulting, in either case, in material economic harm to
Amgen, unless you believed in good faith that such conduct was in, or not
contrary to, the best interests of Amgen, (iii) your material breach of any of
the terms of this letter agreement or the Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement or (iv) your failure to follow any lawful directive of Amgen's Chief
Executive Officer with respect to your employment. For purposes hereof, no act,
or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or
omitted to be done, by you not in good faith.

Relocation Assistance Coverage

All relocation expense coverage to be provided as a part of your Amgen
employment offer is outlined in this attachment. This relocation expense
coverage is designed to offset most of the cost of your relocation. However, as
a new staff member, it is expected that you will make every effort to reduce or
eliminate relocation expense wherever possible.

Please Note: Upon acceptance of this offer, please fill out the attached "Moving
Forward...With Amgen" acceptance form and fax it to the Relocation Department at

     Marketing Assistance, Home Sale, and Home Sale Incentive Program
     ----------------------------------------------------------------

     A Marketing Assistance Program is available to assist in the sale of
     your current primary residence. Also, through the Home Sale Program,
     we will offer you the opportunity for a third party purchase of your
     current primary residence if you are unable to sell your home within
     90 days. Under this program, an interest-free equity bridge loan is
     available to assist in the purchase of your new residence. The
     seller's normal, non-recurring closing costs associated with the sale
     of your home (i.e., real estate commission, title expense, etc.) will
     be paid by Amgen through this program. You are also eligible for the
     Home Sale Incentive Program which is designed to reward you for
     helping expedite the sale of your home. For additional information,
     and to initiate the program contact Gail Thomas. (805) 447-0397. You
     must contact her before taking any action to sell your home.
                      ------------------------------------------

     Additionally, should you close escrow on the purchase of a home in
     the Thousand Oaks area prior to the sale of your current residence,
     Amgen will reimburse up to 3 months of your current mortgage payment
     and other reasonable related costs (i.e., utilities, prorated taxes,
     insurance, etc.).

     House Hunting Trip
     ------------------

     Amgen will reimburse you for your out of pocket expenses in
     connection with your house hunting efforts. You should call Dollie
     Grajczak at 805-447-6110 in Amgen's Corporate Travel Dept. for
     assistance with your travel plans. You will receive reimbursement
     upon presenting trip receipts (in the form of the airline tickets or
     hotel bill associated with this trip) to our Relocation Manager.

     Temporary Living Expenses
     -------------------------

     Temporary living lodging expense will be covered for up to one year
     in Amgen leased lodging units. Since Amgen has contracted for these
     temporary lodging
<PAGE>

     accommodations, there is no need to make arrangements on your own.
     The Relocation Coordinator will assist in making these lodging
     arrangements for you. Amgen will also determine a per diem allowance,
     to be paid to you as a lump sum for food, telephone and miscellaneous
     expenses you may incur during your temporary living period.

     One-Way Travel Expenses
     -----------------------

     Amgen will reimburse one-way travel expenses for you and your
     household members to take residence in the Thousand Oaks area. If
     Amgen has arranged for your car to be moved by a moving company,
     Amgen will also pay for rental of one automobile, for up to 14 days
     You should contact Dollie Grajczak at 805-447-6110 in Amgen's
     Corporate Travel Dept. to make your travel reservations.

     Moving Household Goods
     ----------------------

     household possessions, including up to two automobiles. Amgen will
     also pay for up to 365 days of storage of household goods, if

     handle all details with the company assigned to your move.

     3-2-1 Mortgage Subsidy Program
     ------------------------------

     To assist you in the purchase of your new home in the Thousand Oaks area,
     Amgen will provide you the option of a temporary mortgage subsidy program.
     To participate in this program, you must obtain your first loan through one
     of the approved lenders with which Amgen has entered into a subsidy
     agreement.

     Through this program, Amgen will subsidize your mortgage as follows: 3
     points the first 12 months, 2 points the second 12 months and 1 point the
     third 12 months. The payment of the mortgage subsidy will be handled
     between Amgen and the Mortgage Lender.

     Also, you will be reimbursed for Mortgage Loan Origination Fees, in an
     amount not to exceed one percent (1%) of the principal balance. An
     additional Six Hundred Fifty Dollars ($650.00) is granted for other
     Lender's Fees. These fees include, but are not limited to, fees for the
     appraisal, credit report, tax service fees, processing fees, flood zone
     determination fees, underwriting fees, warehouse fees, rate lock-in fees,
     broker fees, lender document preparation fees, commitment fees, lender
     courier fees, escrow waiver fees, and loan review fees. You will also be
     reimbursed for the customary non-recurring buyer's closing costs for Escrow
     and/or Title fees and home inspection.

     You will be required to sign an Employee Subsidy Agreement that will detail
     the terms of the program.

     If you choose not to or are unable to utilize the 3-2-1 Mortgage Subsidy
     Program, you will be eligible for reimbursement of up to three points (3%)
     of the mortgage amount for
<PAGE>

     loan origination or discount expense. You will also receive reimbursement
     of the buyer's normal, non-recurring closing costs associated with the
     purchase of a home in the "local area".

     Please note that you are not required to obtain your first loan through an
     approved lender unless you intend to participate in the 3-2-1 Mortgage
     Subsidy Program

     For more information or to begin the process, please call your Relocation
     Specialist.

     Adjustable Rate Secured Loan
     ----------------------------

     To aid in the purchase of a home in the Thousand Oaks area, Amgen is
     prepared to offer you a five year, adjustable rate loan for up to
     $1,000,000 which will be secured by a second mortgage on your new
     home. However, you will be expected to provide a minimum down payment
     investment of at least 5% of the purchase price from your own funds
     or other sources which are not secured by this home.

     The loan will be funded prior to close of escrow at a date to be
     determined solely by Amgen. This loan will not be funded prior to you
     beginning your employment at Amgen.

     The 2001 rate on the loan is 5.0%. The rate is adjusted January 1st
     of each year based on the average "Introduction Rates" on adjustable
     loans as offered by California banks and savings & loans. The most
     the rate will change each year is 1% with a cap of 3% over the life
     of the initial loan. You will be required to make semi-monthly
     interest only payments by payroll deduction.

     Principal and accrued interest on the loan will be due and payable
     upon the earlier of the 5th anniversary of the loan date or 90 days
     after your employment with Amgen terminates for any reason. You may
     prepay interest or principal on the loan at any time.

     Tax Gross-up Assistance
     -----------------------

     Amgen will provide for tax assistance (gross-up) for the non-
     deductible portion of those reimbursed relocation expenses described
     in this Attachment 2 and which are considered as ordinary income for
     state or federal income tax purposes.

     Duration of Relocation
     ----------------------

     This relocation expense coverage is intended to assist you in getting
     established in your new residence in the Thousand Oaks area as quickly as
     possible. Therefore, it is required that all relocation assistance provided
     for in this attachment and all expense reimbursements for this assistance
     be completed within one year from your date of hire in your new location.

                      Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

1.   Establishment of DCA. In order to replace certain compensation and benefits
     --------------------
you will not receive from your prior employer and in order to provide you with
supplemental retirement benefits and to provide you with an incentive to
continue your employment with Amgen, Amgen will establish a non-qualified
deferred compensation account for your benefit (the "DCA") to which Amgen shall
credit amounts of deferred compensation and which shall be payable to you as set
forth below.

2.   Crediting of Compensation on January 19, 2006. If you are actively employed
     ---------------------------------------------
by Amgen on January 19, 2006 (the "Crediting Date"), Amgen shall credit the DCA
with $15,000,000 (the "DCA Amount").

3.   Termination of Employment before January 19, 2006. In the event that your
     -------------------------------------------------
active employment with Amgen is terminated before the Crediting Date for any
reason, no credits will be made to the DCA and you will not be paid any portion
of the DCA, except as set forth below.

     A.   If your employment is terminated by Amgen without Cause before the
Crediting Date, between January 2 and January 31 of the year following the year
in which your employment terminates, Amgen shall pay you a prorated portion of
the DCA Amount (the "Prorated DCA Amount") based upon the ratio of (x) the
number of full months of your active employment with Amgen and (y) 60 months,
provided, however, that if such a termination of employment occurs within 2
years after a Change of Control of Amgen, as defined in the COC Plan, you shall
be paid (i) the Prorated DCA Amount plus (ii) an amount equal to the DCA Amount
                                    ----
minus the sum of (x) the Prorated DCA Amount and (y) an amount equal to the
aggregate spread between the exercise prices of your unvested Amgen stock
options which are in the money and the vesting of which is accelerated by the
Change of Control and the NASDAQ closing price of Amgen stock, with such spread
being determined as of the date of the Change of Control. For example, if Amgen
                                                          -----------
were to terminate your employment without Cause on August 22, 2003, you would be
paid $7,750,000 ($15,000,000 x 31/60). If, however, such a termination were to
occur within 2 years after a Change of Control of Amgen and on the date of the
Change of Control you hold unvested options for 100,000 shares of Amgen stock
and if each of such options has an exercise price of $80 and the NASDAQ closing
price of Amgen stock on the date of the Change of Control were $120, you would
be paid $11,000,000 ($7,750,000 + ($15,000,000 - $7,750,000 - (($120 - $80) x
100,000))). No interest shall be credited to any such payments.

     B.   If your employment is terminated by reason of your "Permanent and
Total Disability," as defined below, before the Crediting Date, on the second
anniversary of the date upon which you last complete one week of active
employment with Amgen, Amgen shall pay you a pro rata portion of the DCA Amount
based upon the ratio of (x) the sum of the number of full months of your active
employment with Amgen plus 24 months and (y) 80 months. No interest shall be
credited on any such payment. For the purposes of
<PAGE>

this provision only, you shall have incurred a "Permanent and Total Disability"
when such a disability has been certified by the Social Security Administration
prior to the date of termination.

4.   Crediting of Interest to DCA. No interest shall be credited to the DCA
     ----------------------------
prior to the Crediting Date, in any event. However, if you are actively employed
by Amgen on the Crediting Date, from and after the Crediting Date Amgen shall
credit the DCA with interest as set forth below.

     A.   If you continue to be actively employed by Amgen until January 19,
2011, the date upon which you will complete ten years of active employment with
Amgen (your "normal retirement date," or "NRD"), Amgen shall credit interest
annually on the DCA at a rate equal to 125% of the 10-year moving average yield
on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes, adjusted annually and compounded annually, from
the Crediting Date until the date upon which the DCA and accrued interest is
distributed to you. In the event that you elect to receive your distribution in
installments, as provided below, interest will be credited on the declining
balance of the DCA until it is finally distributed.

     B.   If your employment with Amgen is terminated for any reason before your
NRD, Amgen shall credit interest on the DCA at a rate equal to 100% of the 10-
year moving average yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes, adjusted annually and
compounded annually, from the Crediting Date until the date upon which the DCA,
and accrued interest is distributed to you

5.   Distributions from DCA. If you are actively employed by Amgen on the
     ----------------------
Crediting Date, from and after the Crediting Date, Amgen shall make
distributions from the DCA as set forth below.

     A.   If your employment with Amgen is terminated for any reason before your
NRD, the amount credited to your DCA, plus interest credited to the date of
termination, shall be distributed to you in a lump sum between January 2 and
January 31 of the year following the year in which your employment terminates.

     B.   If your employment with Amgen is terminated for any reason on or after
your NRD, the amount credited to your DCA shall be distributed to you in a lump
sum between January 2 and January 31 of the year following the year in which
your employment terminates, unless you elect to be paid in ten or less
substantially equal annual installments, beginning between January 2 and January
31 of the year following the year in which your employment terminates. You must
make any election to receive your payments in annual installments at least 13
months prior to the date upon which your employment terminates.

     C.   In the event of your death, any unpaid amounts with respect to the DCA
shall be paid to your named beneficiaries in a lump sum, or your estate if you
do not designate any beneficiaries, between January 2 and January 31 of the year
following the year of your death.
<PAGE>

6.   Unfunded Unsecured Promise. Amgen's obligation hereunder shall be merely
     --------------------------
that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of Amgen to pay money in the future
and you shall have no greater rights than those of Amgen's unsecured general
creditors. However, Amgen shall have the right to fund its obligations hereunder
through the purchase of assets, including possibly insurance on your life. If
Amgen elects to fund its obligations hereunder, you agree to cooperate with
Amgen in doing so. Amgen shall also have the right to establish a deferred
compensation plan to discharge its obligations hereunder. Amgen will consult
with you on the details of such plan; however, any such plan shall be finalized
and adopted in Amgen's sole discretion. It is Amgen's intention that the DCA
benefits be unfunded for purposes of the Internal Code and for purposes of Title
I of ERISA.<PAGE>

                                                                   Exhibit 10.47

$1,000,000.00

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

     For value received, I, George J. Morrow ("Staff Member"), a married man,
     and I, Katherine D. Morrow, 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 One Million
     Dollars and No Cents ($1,000,000.00) (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, 2001 (the
     "initial rate") is 5.00% per annum on the unpaid Principal. After December
     31, 2001 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 8.00% 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 Two
     Thousand Eighty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ($2,083.33) 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 04/15/01; the second
     installment shall be on 04/30/01; 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 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.
