 AMGEN NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
  
 As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005 
  
 Purpose 
  
 The purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to a select group
of management or highly compensated Employees who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, if any, that sponsor this Plan. This Plan shall be
unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. 
  
 ARTICLE 1 
 Definitions 
  

For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated
meanings: 
  

	1.1	“Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, a credit on the records of the Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Deferral Account balance and (ii) the
vested Company Contribution Account balance. The Account Balance, and each other specified account balance, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to
a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan. 

  

	1.2	“Annual Base Salary” shall mean the wages, salaries, fees for professional services, and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in
cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with any Employer to the extent that the amounts are includable in gross income (including, but not limited to, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of
profits, commissions on reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.62-2(c)), but excluding any “goods and services allowance” provided to certain expatriate staff
members. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, Annual Base Salary shall not include the Annual Bonus. Annual Base Salary shall be computed without regard to any election to reduce or defer salary under the Amgen Retirement and
Savings Plan or any cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code. Annual Base Salary shall not include: (a) any Company contributions to the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan or any other employee benefit plan for or on account of the Employee,
except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence or (b) the items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.415-2(d)(3), which, among other items, would exclude from compensation amounts realized from the exercise of a nonqualified stock
option (or when restricted stock (or property) held by an Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture under Section 83 of the Code) and amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other
disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option.

	1.3	“Annual Bonus” shall mean the wages, salaries, fees for professional services, and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for
personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with any Employer to the extent that the amounts are commissions paid to salespeople or are paid pursuant to the Amgen Performance Based Management Incentive Plan (MIP), the Amgen Inc.
Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) or an equivalent bonus program. 

  

	1.4	“Annual Company Contribution Amount” shall mean, for any one Plan Year, the amount determined in accordance with Section 3.6. 

  

	1.5	“Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus, as applicable, that a Participant elects to have, and
is deferred, in accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year. 

  

	1.6	“Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as
follows: The Account Balance of the Participant shall be calculated as of the most recent Valuation Date. The annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of
which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a 10-year Annual Installment Method, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the Account Balance as of the most recent Valuation Date. The
following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the Account Balance as of the most recent Valuation Date. Each annual installment shall be paid on or as soon as practicable after the amount is calculated. 

  

	1.7	“Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated in accordance with Article 8, or entitled under Article 8 in the absence of a
designation, that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the death of a Participant. 

  

	1.8	“Beneficiary Designation Form” shall mean the form established from time to time by the Committee that a Participant completes, signs and returns to the Committee to

	1.14	“Company” shall mean Amgen Inc., and any successor to all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business and it shall exclude any disregarded entity

otherwise provided, this limitation shall be applied to all distributions that are “subject to the Deduction Limitation” under this Plan. If an Employer determines in good faith prior to a Change in Control that there is a reasonable
likelihood that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable year of the Employer would not be deductible by the Employer solely by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Employer to
ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant to this Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Employer may defer all or any portion of a distribution under this Plan. Any amounts deferred pursuant to
this limitation shall continue to be credited and debited with additional amounts in accordance with Section 3.14 below, even if such amount is being paid out in installments. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited (net of amounts debited)
thereon shall be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer in good faith, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or
payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the Employer during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m), or if earlier, the effective date of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Plan, the Deduction Limitation shall not apply to any distributions made after a Change in Control. 

  

	1.17	“Deferral Account” shall mean (i) the sum of all of a Participant’s Annual Deferral Amounts, plus (ii) amounts credited (net of amounts debited) in accordance with
all the applicable provisions of this Plan that relate to the Participant’s Deferral Account, less (iii) all distributions made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to his or her Deferral Account.

  

	1.18	“Disability” shall mean that the Participant is determined under Title II or XVI of the Social Security Act, to have been disabled. The Participant must submit evidence to
the Committee of the Social Security Administration’s determination of disability before a person is to be deemed Disabled under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee, in its discretion, determines that any change in
applicable law governing nonqualified deferred compensation plans requires a different definition of Disability, such other definition of Disability shall be substituted for the definition set forth in this Section 1.18.

	1.26	“Plan” shall mean the AMGEN NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2005, which shall be evidenced by this instrument and by

	3.6	Annual Company Contribution Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to any
Participant’s Company Contribution Account under this Plan, which amount shall be for that Participant the Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount
credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The Annual Company Contribution
Amount, if any, shall be credited as of the date determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. If a Participant is not employed by an Employer as of the last day of a Plan Year for a reason other than his or her Retirement or death while
employed, the Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year shall be zero. 

  

	3.7	Vesting. 

  

	 	(a)	A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Deferral Account. 

  

	 	(b)	A Participant shall be vested in his or her Company Contribution Account in accordance with the vesting schedules established by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
for each Annual Company Contribution Amount (and amounts credited or debited thereon) at the time each such Annual Company Contribution Amount is first credited to the Participant’s Account Balance under the Plan. The vesting schedules
established by the Committee for each Annual Company Contribution Amount may be different for different Participants. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, except as provided in subsection (d) below, in the event of a Change in Control, a Participant’s Company Contribution
Account shall immediately become 100% vested (without regard to whether it is already vested in accordance with the above vesting schedules).

 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

	 	(d)	Except as otherwise provided by written agreement between a Participant and his/her Employer, notwithstanding anything in this Section or the Plan to the contrary, the vesting
schedule for a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall not be accelerated to the extent that the Committee determines that such acceleration would cause the deduction limitations of Section 280G of the Code to become effective. In the
event that any portion of a Participant’s Company Contribution Account is not vested pursuant to such a determination, the Participant may request independent verification of the Committee’s calculations with respect to the application of
Section 280G. In such case, the Committee must provide to the Participant within 15 business days of such a request an opinion from a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Participant (the “Accounting Firm”), to the effect
that, in the Accounting Firm’s opinion that any limitation in the vested percentage hereunder is necessary to avoid the limits of Section 280G, and containing supporting calculations, or, in the absence of such an opinion, shall cause the
relevant portion of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account to become vested. The cost of such opinion shall be paid for by the Company. 

  

	3.8	Crediting/Debiting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Committee, in its
sole discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant’s Account Balance in accordance with the following rules: 

  

	 	(a)	Election of Measurement Funds. A Participant, in connection with his or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.3(a) above, shall elect, on the
Election Form, one or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance for the first business day in which the Participant commences participation in the Plan and continuing
thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant participates in the Plan, unless changed in accordance with the next sentence. Commencing with the first business day that follows the Participant’s commencement of participation in
the Plan and continuing thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant participates in the Plan, the Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Committee that is accepted by the Committee, to
add or delete one or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected
Measurement Fund. If an election is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall apply to the next business day and continue thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant participates in the Plan, unless changed in
accordance with the previous sentence. 

  

	 	(b)	Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section 3.8(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of five
percentage points (5%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance to have gains and losses measured by a Measurement Fund. 

  

 9 

 

 
 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

	 	(c)	Measurement Funds. From time to time, the Committee in its sole discretion shall select and announce to Participants its selection of mutual funds, insurance company
separate accounts, indexed rates or other methods (each, a “Measurement Fund”), for the purpose of providing the basis on which gains and losses shall be attributed to Account Balances under the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund at any time. Each such action shall take effect after a reasonable period of time following the day on which Participants are given written notice of such change.

  

	 	(d)	Crediting or Debiting Method. The performance of each elected Measurement Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined by the Committee, in its reasonable
discretion, based on available reports of the performance of the Measurement Funds. A Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited on a daily basis based on the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as though (i) a Participant’s Account Balance were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such day, as of the close of business on
such day, at the closing price on such date; (ii) the portion of the Annual Deferral Amount that was actually deferred during any day were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such day, no
later than the close of business on the first business day after the day on which such amounts are actually deferred from the Participant’s Annual Base Salary through reductions in his or her payroll and from the Participant’s Annual
Bonus, at the closing price on such date; and (iii) any distribution made to a Participant that decreases such Participant’s Account Balance ceased being invested in the Measurement Fund(s), in the percentages applicable to such day, no later
than one business day prior to the distribution, at the closing price on such date. 

  

	 	(e)	No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement
purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account
Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own
discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a
bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

	3.9	FICA and Other Taxes. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant or a portion or all of Annual Company Contribution
Amount becomes Vested, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus that is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s
share of FICA, other employment taxes and other employee contributions on such Annual Deferral Amount. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the Annual Deferral Amount or Annual Company Contribution Amount in order to comply with this Section.

  

	3.10	Distributions. The Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan all federal,
state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer(s) and
the trustee of the Trust, respectively (whichever is making the payment). The Participant’s Employer, or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan any garnishment of wages in amounts and in
a manner to be determined by the sole discretion of the Employer(s) and the trustee of the Trust, respectively (whichever is making the payment). 

  

ARTICLE 4 
 Short-Term
Payout/Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies 
  

	4.1	Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a future “Short-Term
Payout” from the Plan with respect to such Annual Deferral Amount. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Short-Term Payout shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is equal to the Annual Deferral plus amounts credited or debited in the
manner provided in Section 3.7 above on that amount, determined at the time that the Short-Term Payout becomes payable (rather than the date of a Termination of Employment). Subject to the Deduction Limitation and the other terms and conditions of
the Plan, each Short-Term Payout elected shall be paid out as soon as administratively practicable after the last day of any Plan Year designated by the Participant that is at least three Plan Years after the Plan Year in which the Annual Deferral
Amount is actually deferred. 

  

	4.2	Other Benefits Take Precedence Over Short-Term Payout. Should an event occur that triggers a benefit under Article 5 or 6, any Annual Deferral Amount, plus amounts
credited or debited thereon, that is subject to a Short-Term Payout election under Section 4.1 shall not be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 but shall be paid in accordance with the other applicable Article. 

  

	4.3	Withdrawal Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies. If the Participant or a Beneficiary experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the
Participant or Beneficiary may petition the Committee to (i) suspend any deferrals required to be made by a Participant or (ii) receive a partial or full payout from the Plan. The payout shall not exceed the 

  

 11 

 

 
 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

 lesser of the Participant’s then vested Account Balance or the amount reasonably needed to
satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. If, subject to the sole discretion of the Committee, the petition for a suspension and/or payout is approved, suspension shall take effect upon the date of approval and any payout shall be made within
60 days of the date of approval. The payment of any amount under this Section 4.3 shall not be subject to the Deduction Limitation. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 Distribution of
Benefits 
  

	5.1	Distributions. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, a Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of the vested interest of his or her Account Balance following
Termination of Employment. Such amount will be paid in a lump sum cash payment as soon as administratively practicable after the first day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such Termination of Employment occurs (or such later date as
may be required under applicable law), unless installment payments have been elected under Section 5.2. 

  

	5.2.	Installment Payments. A Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan (or, if later, during the period specified by the
Committee with respect to Participants in the Plan prior to January 1, 2005), may elect on an Election Form to have the vested portion of his or her Account Balance paid under the Annual Installment Method following Termination of Employment. Such
Election Form shall specify the number of annual installments to be made. Such installments shall commence as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs (or
such later date as may be required under applicable law). Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Participant’s vested Account Balance shall be paid pursuant to the Participant’s elected Annual Installment Method in the number of annual
installments elected by the Participant; provided, however, the annual installments shall not exceed the lesser of the Participant’s Years of Service or ten (10) years; provided, further, that if the value of the Participant’s vested
Account Balance on his or her Termination of Employment is $50,000 or less, the Participant’s election of the Annual Installment Method shall be disregarded and such Account Balance shall be paid in lump sum under Section 5.1.

 ARTICLE 6 
 Survivor Benefits 
  

	6.1	Survivor Benefits. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, if a Participant dies before his or her Account Balance has been distributed in full, the Participant’s
Beneficiary shall receive a survivor benefit equal to the Participant’s Account Balance, payable in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 6. 

  

	6.2	Death Before Commencement of Benefits. Subject to Section 6.3, a Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, shall elect on
an Election Form, whether any amounts payable to a Beneficiary under the Plan shall be received by his or her Beneficiary in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to ten (10) years. The Participant may annually change this
election to an allowable alternative payout period by submitting a new Election Form to the Committee, which form may be accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee prior to the
Participant’s death shall govern the payout of the Account Balance to the Beneficiary. If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of his or her Account Balance, then such Account Balance shall be paid to the
Beneficiary in a lump sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Account Balance at the time of his or her death is less than $25,000, payment of the Account Balance may be made to the Beneficiary, in the sole discretion of the
Committee, in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of not more than 5 years. The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no later than 60 days after the Committee is provided with proof that is
satisfactory to the Committee of the Participant’s death. 

  

	6.3	Death After Commencement of Benefits. If a Participant dies after installment payments have commenced, but before his or her Account Balance is paid in full, the
Participant’s remaining installment payments shall continue and shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary over the remaining number of years and in the same amounts as payments would have been made to the Participant had the
Participant survived. 

  
 ARTICLE 7

 Disability Waiver and Benefit 
  

	7.1	Disability Waiver. 

  

	 	(a)	Waiver of Deferral. A Participant who is determined by the Committee to be suffering from a Disability shall (i) have no further deferrals of the Annual Deferral
Amount that would otherwise have been withheld from a Participant’s Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus for the Plan Year during which the Participant first suffers a Disability. During the period of Disability, the Participant shall not be
allowed to make any additional deferral elections, but will continue to be considered a Participant for all other purposes of this Plan. 

  

 13 

 

 
 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

	 	(b)	Return to Work. If a Participant returns to employment with an Employer, after a Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual Deferral Amount for
the Plan Year following his or her return to employment or service and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is delivered to and accepted by the
Committee for each such election in accordance with Section 3.3 above. 

  

	7.2.	Continued Eligibility/Disability Benefit. A Participant suffering a Disability shall continue to be considered to be employed and shall be eligible for the benefits
provided for in Article 4 and 6 in accordance with the provisions of those Articles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the right to, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem the Participant to have experienced a Termination of
Employment at any time after such Participant is determined to be suffering a Disability, in which case the Participant shall be entitled to receive his or her Account Balance in accordance with Article 5. Any payment made shall be subject to the
Deduction Limitation. 

  
 ARTICLE 8

 Beneficiary Designation 
  

	8.1	Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary and contingent) to receive any benefits payable
under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates.

  

	8.2	Beneficiary Designation Change/Spousal Consent. A Participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and
returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Committee’s rules and
procedures, as in effect from time to time. A Participant may name someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary only if a spousal consent, in the form designated by the Committee, is signed by that Participant’s spouse and
returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form
filed by the Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death. Notwithstanding anything in this Section or the Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s designation of a spouse as a Beneficiary shall automatically be cancelled
and revoked on the date a Participant’s divorce from that spouse becomes final. 

  

	8.3	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its
designated agent. 

  

 14 

 

 
 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

	8.4	No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided in Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 above or, if all designated Beneficiaries
predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse,
the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s estate. 

  

	8.5	Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right,
exercisable in its discretion, to cause the Company to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction. 

  

	8.6	Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee from all further
obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and that Participant’s Plan Agreement shall terminate upon such full payment of benefits. 

  
 ARTICLE 9 
 Leave of Absence 
  

	9.1	Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any reason to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the
Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the Annual Deferral Amount shall continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Article 3. 

  

	9.2	Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the
Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and deferrals shall not be made, in the absence of compensation. Upon such expiration of the unpaid leave and resumption of entitlement to compensation, deferrals
shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for that Plan Year. If no election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld. 

 
 ARTICLE 10 
 Termination/Amendment or Modification 
  

	10.1	Termination. Although the Company anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue the
Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of the Plan and to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any or all of its participating Employees, by
action of its Board of Directors. Upon the termination of the Plan, the Plan Agreements of the affected Participants shall terminate and their Account Balances, determined as if they had experienced a Termination of Employment on the date of Plan
termination or, if Plan termination occurs after the date upon which a Participant was 

  

 15 

 

 
 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

 eligible to Retire, then with respect to that Participant as if he or she had Retired on the date of
Plan termination, shall be paid to the Participants as follows: Prior to a Change in Control, if the Plan is terminated with respect to all of its Participants, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any
elections made by the Participant, to pay such benefits in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to ten (10) years, with amounts credited and debited during the installment period as provided herein. Prior to a Change in
Control, if the Plan is terminated with respect to less than all of its Participants, the Company shall be required to pay such benefits in a lump sum. After a Change in Control, the Company shall be required to pay such benefits in a lump sum. The
termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination; provided however, that the Company shall have the right to
accelerate installment payments without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method using fewer years. 
  

	10.2	Amendment. The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part by the action of the Committee; provided, however, that: (i) no amendment
or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Employment
as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, (ii) no adverse amendment or modification shall be effective upon or after a Change in Control without the prior written consent of a majority of the Participants, and (iii) no amendment or
modification of this Section 10.2 or Section 11.2 of the Plan shall be effective. The amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the
date of the amendment or modification; provided, however, that the Employer shall have the right to accelerate installment payments by paying the Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method using fewer years (provided
that the present value of all payments that will have been received by a Participant at any given point of time under the different payment schedule shall equal or exceed the present value of all payments that would have been received at that point
in time under the original payment schedule). 

  

	10.3	Plan Agreement. Despite the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above, if a Participant’s Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations that are not in this
Plan document, the Company may only amend or terminate such provisions with the consent of the Participant. 

  

	10.4	Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under Articles 4, 5, 6 or 7 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and
his or her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan and the Participant’s Plan Agreement shall terminate.

delegates as the Compensation Committee of the Board shall appoint. The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate laws, rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan
and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan. Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to
himself or herself. When making a determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant, the Company or any Employer. 

  

	11.2	Administration Upon Change In Control. For purposes of this Plan, the Company, acting through the Committee, shall be the “Administrator” at all times prior
to the occurrence of a Change in Control. Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the “Administrator” shall be an independent third party selected by the Trustee and approved by the individual who, immediately prior to such
event, was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or, if not so identified, the Company’s highest ranking officer (the “Ex-CEO”). The Administrator shall have the discretionary power to determine all questions arising in
connection with the administration of the Plan and the interpretation of the Plan and Trust including, but not limited to benefit entitlement determinations; provided, however, upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Administrator
shall have no power to direct the investment of Plan or Trust assets or select any investment manager or custodial firm for the Plan or Trust. Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company must: (1) pay all reasonable
administrative expenses and fees of the Administrator; (2) pursuant to Section 11.5, indemnify the Administrator against any costs, expenses and liabilities including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses arising in connection with
the performance of the Administrator hereunder, except with respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator or its employees or agents; and (3) pursuant to Section 11.6, supply full and timely
information to the Administrator or all matters relating to the Plan, the Trust, the Participants and their Beneficiaries, the Account Balances of the Participants, the date of circumstances of the Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of
Employment of the Participants, and such other pertinent information as the Administrator may reasonably require. Upon and after a Change in Control, the Administrator may be terminated (and a replacement appointed) by the Trustee only with the
approval of the Ex-CEO. Upon and after a Change in Control, the Administrator may not be terminated by the Company. 

  

	11.3	Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee and the Administrator may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such of their respective
administrative duties as they see fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to any Employer.

	11.4	Binding Effect of Decisions. The decisions or actions of the Committee, the Administrator and/or their respective delegates, with respect to any question arising out
of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

  

	11.5	Indemnity of Committee. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee, and any Employee to whom the duties of the Committee may be
delegated, and the Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee, any of its members,
any such Employee or the Administrator. 

  

	11.6	Employer Information. To enable the Committee and Administrator to perform their respective functions, the Company and each Employer shall supply full and timely
information to the Committee or Administrator, as the case may be, on all matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the date and circumstances of the Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment of its Participants, and
such other pertinent information as the Committee or Administrator may reasonably require.

provided. 

  
 ARTICLE 13 
 Claims Procedures 
  

	13.1	Presentation of Claim. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may

	14.1	Establishment of the Trust. The Company may establish the Trust, and each Employer may transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Employer determines, in its sole
discretion, to provide for its respective future liabilities created with respect to the Annual Deferral Amounts and Annual Company Contribution Amounts, for such Employer’s Participants for all periods prior to the transfer, as well as any
debits and credits to the Participants’ Account Balances for all periods prior to the transfer, taking into consideration the value of the assets in the trust at the time of the transfer. 

  

	14.2	Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of the Plan and the Plan Agreement shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions
pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the other creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust. Each Employer shall at all times remain liable to carry out its
obligations under the Plan. 

  

	14.3	Distributions From the Trust. Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and
any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this Plan.

Committee, to invest and reinvest the assets of the Trust in accordance with the applicable Trust Agreement. 

  
 ARTICLE 15 
 Miscellaneous

  

	15.1	Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an
employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1). The Plan shall be administered and
interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent. The Plan is an unfunded, nontax-qualified, individual account, profit sharing plan. Plan benefits shall only accrue immediately before they are paid and may be paid directly
by the Company. A person entitled to benefits shall be entitled to receive distributions at the time otherwise provided under the Plan if he or she consents in writing to the distribution within 90 days before it is made. Failing such consent, the
distribution shall be

 delayed to such later date as the person elects. In this case, the amounts otherwise payable shall be
deposited at the earliest time otherwise payable with the consent of the person, less taxes required to be withheld, in a brokerage house account for the benefit of that person, and invested as the person directs. However, this account shall be
owned by a trustee appointed by the Plan Administrator, who shall transfer ownership of the account to the person on or after his or her 60th birthday. By electing to contribute to this Plan, each Participant acknowledges that this Plan is subject to ERISA but exempted from all of ERISA’s substantive requirements because it is a “top hat plan,”
acknowledges that the Company would not have implemented or continued this Plan but for its good faith belief that it is a top hat plan, agrees that all Plan benefits shall be contingent on the Plan being a top hat plan and promises never to assert
otherwise. 
  

	15.2	Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any
property or assets of an Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, the Employer’s assets shall be, and remain, neither pledged nor restricted under or as a result of this Plan. An Employer’s obligation under the
Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. 

  

	15.3	Employer’s Liability. An Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and the Plan Agreement, as entered into between
the Employer and a Participant. An Employer shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan and his or her Plan Agreement. 

  

	15.4	Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise
encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No
part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be
transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. 

  

	15.5	Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the
Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, except to the extent
expressly provided in a written employment agreement, if any. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or
discharge the Participant at any time.

	15.6	Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as a condition to entitlement to benefits hereunder, shall cooperate with the Committee by furnishing
any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical
examinations as the Committee may deem necessary. 

  

	15.7	Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and
whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. 

  

	15.8	Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of
any of its provisions. 

  

	15.9	Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of California without
regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 

  

	15.10	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by
registered or certified mail, to the address below: 

  

	
	 Amgen Inc. Nonqualified
 Deferred Compensation Plan
 Committee

	 Amgen Inc.

	 One Amgen Center Drive

	 Thousand Oaks, CA 91320-1799

  
 Such notice shall be
deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. 
  

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent
by mail, to the last address of the Participant shown on the records of the Company. 
  

	15.11	Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and
the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries. 

  

	15.12	Spouse’s Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the
Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession.

 Amgen Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan 
 Plan Document 
  

	15.13	Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but
this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. 

  

	15.14	Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person
incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The
Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the
Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount. 

  

	15.15	Court Order. The Committee is authorized to cause the Company or any Employer to make any payments directed by court order in any action in which the Plan or the
Committee has been named as a party. In addition, if a court determines that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan in connection with a property settlement or otherwise, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, notwithstanding any election made by a Participant, to immediately cause the Company or any Employer to distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s
benefits under the Plan to that spouse or former spouse. 

  

	15.16	Distribution in the Event of Taxation. 

  

	 	(a)	In General. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior to receipt, a Participant
may petition the Committee before a Change in Control, or the trustee of the Trust after a Change in Control, for a distribution of that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not
be unreasonably withheld (and, after a Change in Control, shall be granted), a Participant’s Employer shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount
shall not exceed a Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan). If the petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution
shall affect and reduce the benefits to be paid under this Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Trust. If the Trust terminates in accordance with its terms and benefits are distributed from the Trust to a Participant in accordance with that Section, the
Participant’s Account, and accordingly the benefits under this Plan, shall be reduced to the extent of such distributions. 

  

 23

	15.17	Insurance. The Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in their sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life
of the Participants, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose. The Employers or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participants shall have no interest
whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Employers
have applied for insurance. 

  

	15.18	Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control. The Company and each Employer is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board or the board of
directors of a Participant’s Employer (which might then be composed of new members) or a shareholder of the Company or the Participant’s Employer, or of any successor corporation might then cause or attempt to cause the Company, the
Participant’s Employer or such successor to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Plan and might cause or attempt to cause the Company or the Participant’s Employer to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to deny
Participants the benefits intended under the Plan. In these circumstances, the purpose of the Plan could be frustrated. Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control, it should appear to any Participant that the Company, the Participant’s
Employer or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if the Company, such Employer or any other person takes any action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or
institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant the benefits intended to be provided, then the Company and the Participant’s Employer irrevocably authorize such Participant to retain
counsel of his or her choice at the expense of the Company and the Participant’s Employer (who shall be jointly and severally liable) to represent such Participant in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal
action, whether by or against the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section or the Plan to the contrary, the Company and/or the Participant’s Employer shall have no obligation under this Section to the extent there is a judicial determination or final arbitration decision that
the litigation or other legal action brought by the Participant is frivolous.

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
  
 SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE 
  
 THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Second Amendment”) is dated as of June 28, 2004, between CARRAMERICA DEVELOPMENT CORP., LP, a Delaware limited partnership
(“Lessor”), successor in interest to CRV PARTNERS, L.P., a limited partnership (“CRV”), successor in interest to AGBRI NANCY RIDGE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Lessor”), and CARDIODYNAMICS
INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Lessee”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 Original Lessor and Lessee
entered the Original Lease as of 20 June 1997, under which Lessor leased the Original Premises to Lessee. The Original Lease was subsequently amended by the First Amendment. 
  
 Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Lease to expand the Original Premises to include the Expansion Space (as defined below), and to extend
the term of the Lease. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing
recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee agree, and amend the Lease, as follows. 
  
 1. Definitions 
  
 Terms not defined in this Section but which are capitalized throughout this Second Amendment have the meanings stated in the Original Lease.

  
 “Building” means the building at 6175 Nancy Ridge Drive, San
Diego, California. 
  
 “Delivery Date” means the date on which
the Expansion Space is delivered to Lessee pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

 “First Amendment” means Amendment No.1 to the Original Lease, dated March
21, 2002, by and between CRV and Lessee. 
  
 “Lease” means the
Original Lease as amended by the First Amendment and by this Second Amendment. 

 “Original Lease” means the “Commercial Multi-Tenant Lease – Modified Net” effective as of
20 June 1997, under which Lessor leased the Original Premises to Lessee. 
  
 “Original Premises” means those premises of approximately 17,779 square feet, commonly known as Suite 300, within the Building. 
  
 “Premises” means the combined Original Premises and the Expansion Space. 
  
 “Rent Commencement Date” November 1, 2004. 
  
 2. Premises 
  
 (a) The definition of “Premises” in Section 1.2(a) of the Lease is hereby amended, as of the Delivery Date, to include the Original Premises and
the Expansion Space. 
  
 (b) Lessor shall have the right to do a
one time re-measurement of the Expansion Space in accordance with BOMA standards, which re-measurement shall be concluded as soon as possible after the Expansion Space is vacated by its prior tenant, but in no case later than 31 July 2004. If the
Expansion Space is more or less than 15,000 rentable square feet, the rentable square footage of the Expansion Space, Base Rent and Lessee’s Share shall be equitably adjusted. Promptly following such re-measurement, Lessee shall execute a
confirmation certificate prepared by Lessor acknowledging such adjustments. 
  
 3. Term 
  
 Section 1.3 of the Lease is hereby amended to
include the following: 
  
 The term of the Lease is hereby
extended from its scheduled expiration date of 31 July 2007 under the First Amendment up to and including 31 December 2007 (“Extended Term”). 
  
 4. Base Rent 
  
 (a) Base Rent for Original Premises For the period prior to the Extended Term, Lessee shall pay monthly Base Rent (on a triple net basis)
for the Original Premises in the amounts specified in the First Amendment. During the Extended Term, Lessee shall pay monthly Base Rent (on a triple net basis) for the Original Premises in the amount of $21,644.28 per month. 
  
 (b) Base Rent for Expansion Space From the Rent Commencement
Date through expiration of the Lease term, Lessee shall pay monthly Base Rent (on a triple net basis) for the Expansion Space as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	for each of the first twelve (12) months, $0.425 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Space, 

  

	 	(ii)	for each of the second twelve (12) months $0.875 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Space, and 

	 	(iii)	from the second anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date and thereafter during the term of the Lease, monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall increase (from the amount
provided for in clause (ii)) by three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date. If the Rent Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a month, monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall be prorated for such
partial month based on the actual number of days in such month. 

  
 5. Lessee’s Share of Operating Expenses Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing for twelve (12) months thereafter, “Lessee’s Share” (as defined in Section 1.6(b) of the Original
Lease) shall be increased from 16.53% to 30.50%. Thereafter, commencing on the first anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date and continuing until the expiration of the term of the Lease, Lessee’s Share shall be increased from 16.53% to

 t/a Carroll Vista Center 
 PNC Transit Number: 043000096 
 PNC Account Number: 1004339583 
  
 8. TI Allowance for Expansion space Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the Expansion Space is being leased to Lessee “as-is, where is, with all
faults.” Lessor shall have no obligation to make any improvements to the Expansion Space. Lessee’s taking possession of the Expansion Space shall be conclusive evidence that Lessee accepts the Expansion Space and that the Expansion Space
was in good condition at the time possession was taken. Lessee agrees and acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor’s agent has made any representation or warranty to Lessee with respect to the condition of any or all of the Expansion Space,
and/or the suitability of the Expansion Space for Lessee’s purposes or that Lessee will be able to complete the New Tenant Improvements (as defined below) by the Rent Commencement Date. 
  
 Lessor shall make available to Lessee a tenant improvement allowance equal to $225,000 (the
“TI Allowance”) for the construction of improvements (collectively, the “New Tenant Improvements”) 

 to the Expansion Space desired by and to be performed by Lessee (subject to Lessor’s supervision). The New Tenant
Improvements may include improvements related to integrating the Original Premises with the Expansion Space and minor alterations to the Original Premises. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessee shall be entirely responsible for the planning and
construction process of the New Tenant Improvements and that Lessee shall be required to seek Lessor’s prior written consent to the final space plan and construction drawings, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon the
expiration of the term of the Lease, the New Tenant Improvements shall become the property of Lessor and may not be removed by Lessee. Except for the TI Allowance, Lessee shall be solely responsible for all of the costs of the New Tenant
Improvements. The New Tenant Improvements shall be treated as Alterations and shall be undertaken pursuant to Section 7 of the Original Lease. Lessee may engage its own architect or space planner for the new Tenant Improvements, subject to
Lessor’s reasonable approval, whose cost shall be paid for as part of the TI Allowance. Lessor shall fund the TI Allowance upon completion of the New Tenant Improvements and upon presentation to Lessor of a draw request containing unconditional
lien waivers and such other documents as Lessor and Lessee agree are customary for construction projects in the San Diego area. Promptly following completion of the New Tenant Improvements and prior to funding by Lessor, Lessee shall provide to
Lessor: (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work on the New Tenant Improvements and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) a certificate of occupancy and
“as built” plans for the New Tenant Improvements. 
  
 9.
Parking Sections 1.2(b) and 2.6 of the Original Lease are hereby amended to provide that commencing on the Delivery Date, Lessee shall be entitled to use 100% of the parking spaces allocated to the Building. 
  
 10. Intentionally Omitted. 
  
 11. Right to Extend The Original Lease’s Extension Option Rider is hereby
deemed renewed as of the Effective Date of this Second Amendment as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	Extension Option Rider 

  

	 	(a)	Rider Effective Date shall be the Effective Date of the Second Amendment to Original Lease; 

  

	 	(b)	Exercise of Option Notice must be given not more than thirteen (13) and no less than six (6) months prior to the end of the Extended Term as defined by Section 3 of this Second
Amendment; 

  

	 	(c)	All references to the “term” or “initial Term” shall be revised to read “Extended Term as defined by Section 3 of the Second Amendment to Original
Lease”. 

  
 12. Brokers Lessee represents to
Lessor that Lessee has not dealt with any real estate broker with respect to the leasing of the Expansion Space, other than Lessee’s broker, Irving Hughes Group, whose commission shall be paid by Lessor pursuant to a separate written agreement.
Each party warrants that it knows of no other broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Second Amendment. Lessee shall indemnify and defend Lessor against any claims by any broker or third party claiming
through Lessee for any payment of any kind in connection with this Second Amendment. 

 13. Governing Law This Second Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of California. 
  
 14. Counterparts This
Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature
pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Second Amendment to physically form one document. 
  
 15. Reaffirmation of Obligations Lessor and Lessee each hereby acknowledge and reaffirm all of their respective obligations under the Lease, as such Lease
has been amended by this Second Amendment, and agree that any reference made in any other document to the Lease shall mean the Original Lease as amended pursuant to the First Amendment and Second Amendment. Except as expressly provided herein, the
Lease remains unmodified and in full force and effect. The Lease shall remain in full force and effect and binding upon the parties hereto and the Premises except as otherwise addressed herein. Any breach of this Second Amendment, including any
exhibit hereto, shall constitute a breach and default under the Lease. 
  
 16.
Miscellaneous Time is of the essence in this Lease and each and all of its provisions. The agreements, conditions and provisions herein contained shall apply to and bind the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the
parties hereto. If any provisions of this Lease shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect any other provision of the Lease and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If there is
any inconsistency between the provisions of this Second Amendment and the other provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall control with respect to the subject matter of this Second Amendment. This Second Amendment
constitutes a part of the Original Lease and is incorporated by this reference. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have caused this Second Amendment to be duly executed and delivered as of the date
first above written.
