 ARTICLE IV 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 4.1 Annual Grants. On the date which is two business days after the
release of the Company’s quarterly earnings for the first fiscal quarter of each year after the Effective Date, each person who is at that time an Eligible Director shall automatically be granted, without further action by the Company, the
Board, or the Company’s stockholders, Restricted Stock Units to acquire a number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $100,000, by (y) the closing market
price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant (rounded to two decimal places). Should the date of grant set forth in this Section 4.1 be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such grant shall be made on the next business day. Restricted
Stock Units shall constitute Restricted Stock Units under Section 9.5 of the 2009 Plan. 
 4.2 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 this Section 4.2 and Section 9.5 of the 2009 Plan. 
 (b) Each grant of Restricted Stock Units made to an Eligible Director who has as of the date of grant provided three (3) years of prior continuous service on the Board as an Eligible Director shall be fully
vested as of the date of grant and each grant of Restricted Stock Units that is made to an Eligible Director who has not as of the date of grant provided three (3) years of prior continuous service as an Eligible Director shall be fully vested
as of the date upon which such Eligible Director has provided one year of continuous service on the Board as an Eligible Director following the date of grant of such Restricted Stock Units (in each case, such date of vesting the “Vesting
Date”). If the Eligible Director’s relationship as a director of the Company or an Affiliate is terminated by reason of the Eligible Director’s death or total and permanent disability (as certified by an independent medical
advisor appointed by the Company prior to such termination) and in a manner constituting a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then a prorated number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of
unvested Restricted Stock Units, if any, shall vest immediately upon such death or disability, determined by multiplying the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units, if any, by a fraction (rounded to two decimal places), the numerator of which is
the number of complete months of continuous service during the one year period following the date of grant and the denominator of which is 12. 
  

 4 

 (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 (including payment upon death or disability as provided above) 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 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. 
 4.3 Dividend Equivalents. If an Eligible Director has elected to defer payment of his or her vested
Restricted Stock Units as provided in Section 4.2(c) above and the Company pays any dividends with respect to the Common Stock at any time during the period between the Payment Date and the Deferred Payment Date, the holder of such vested
Restricted Stock Units shall be credited, as of the dividend payment date, with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of the dividends which would have been payable to such holder if the holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of vested Restricted Stock Units so deferred. Such dividend equivalents shall be deemed reinvested in the Common Stock on the dividend payment date and shall be paid by the Company in shares of Common Stock on the Deferred Payment Date. Such
dividend equivalents shall constitute Dividend Equivalents under Section 9.2 of the 2009 Plan.

 ARTICLE V 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 5.1 Administration of the Program. The Program shall be administered by the
Board. 
 5.2 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. 
 5.3 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 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). 
 5.4 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. 
 5.5 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 6.5 shall prevent transfer
(i) by will, (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution, (iii) to an Alternate Payee to the extent that a QDRO so provides, or (iv) of any Non-Qualified Stock Option, which is granted after December 10, 2007 or any
Non-Qualified Stock Option which is outstanding on December 10, 2007 and which has an exercise price which is not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the Non-Qualified 

  

 6 

 
Stock Option as of such date, to a trust for which the Eligible Director grantor is a trustee of the trust or a beneficiary of the trust with investment
control over the trust assets and which trust qualifies as a “family member” of the Eligible Director, as defined under the instructions to use of the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act (a “Trust”).

 (b) The transfer to an Alternate Payee of an Award pursuant to a QDRO, or to a Trust of a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall
not be treated as having caused a new grant. If an Award is so transferred, the Alternate Payee or Trust 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, option termination provisions and exercise period, as if the Award were still held by the Eligible Director, and (ii) such Alternate Payee or Trust 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. 
 5.6 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. 
 5.7 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. 
 5.8 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 

  

 7 

 
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.

 AMGEN INC.,

shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan and/or the Program. 
 The provisions of your option are as follows: 
 1. [select vesting schedule based on Director’s length of service] [Subject to the limitations contained herein, this Option shall vest on [grant
date] (the “Grant Date”). [Subject to the provisions contained herein, this Option shall vest on [one year from grant date], provided that from the date of grant of this Option through the vesting date, you have continuously

 (b) To the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, payment of the exercise price per share is due in full in cash or check upon exercise
of all or any part of this Option which has become exercisable by you. However, if at the time of exercise, the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal and you are in the United States,
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 consequences 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. 
 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Option may not be exercised unless the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option are then
registered under the Securities Act, 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.

as a director of the Company” shall mean the last date you are a Director of the Company.

Section 6(b) above, such Alternate Payee or Trust may exercise the Option or such portion thereof so transferred.

to vote generally in the election of Directors; or 
 (ii) individuals who, as of April 2, 1991, constitute the Board (the

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 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; or 
 (iv) any other event which the Incumbent Board in its sole discretion determines constitutes a Change of Control. 
 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 (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) 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. 
 17. This Option is subject to all the provisions
of the Plan and Program and their provisions are hereby made a part of this Option, including without limitation the provisions of Articles 6 and 7 of the Plan relating to option provisions, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments,
rules, and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Option and those of the Plan and Program, the provisions of the Plan and Program shall
control. 
 18. The terms of this Option shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. For
purposes of litigating any dispute that arises hereunder, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, or the federal courts for the United State for the federal district located in the State of Delaware,
and no other courts, where this agreement is made and/or to be performed. 
 19. This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, but rather is intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A. To the extent that this Option is nevertheless deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A for
any reason, this Option 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. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that following the Grant Date, the Committee (as defined in the Plan) determines that this Option may be or become subject to Code
Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or this Option 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 this Option from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to this Option, 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.

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
 This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option to

hereunder may apply to you if you relocate to one of the countries listed below. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A shall have the meanings set forth in the Program and Plan and/or the Agreement to which this Appendix
is attached. 
 NOTIFICATIONS 
 This Appendix also
includes notifications relating to exchange control and other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Program and Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in
the countries to which this Appendix refers as of February 1, 2009. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the notifications herein as the only source of information
relating to the consequences of your participation in the Program and Plan because the information may be outdated when you exercise the Option, acquire Shares under the Program and Plan, or when you subsequently sell Shares acquired under the
Program and Plan. 
 In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a
position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation. Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country
other than the one in which you are currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you or you may be subject to the provisions of one or more jurisdictions.
