PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT

THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF YOUR GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS ARE FOUND IN THE PAGES RELATING TO THE GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS FOUND ON XXXXXXX XXXXX BENEFITS WEBSITE (OR THE WEBSITE OF ANY SUCCESSOR COMPANY TO XXXXXXX XXXXX BANK & TRUST CO., FSB) (THE “AWARD NOTICE”) WHICH ACCOMPANIES THIS DOCUMENT. THE TERMS OF THE AWARD NOTICE ARE INCORPORATED INTO THIS PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT.

On the Grant Date specified in the Award Notice, Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you, the grantee named in the Award Notice, under the plan specified in the Award Notice (the “Plan”), the Number of Performance Units (the “Performance Units”) specified in the Award Notice on the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Unit Agreement (and any applicable special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the attached Appendix A (as described in greater detail in Section XIII below)) (collectively, this “Agreement”), the Plan, the Amgen Inc. 2009 Performance Award Program (the “Program”) and the Resolutions (as defined below). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Program.

I. Performance Period. The Performance Period shall have the meaning set forth in the Award Notice.

II. Value of Performance Units. The value of each Performance Unit is equal to a share of Common Stock.

III. Performance Goals. An amount of the Performance Units up to the maximum amount specified in the Resolutions shall be earned, depending on the extent to which the Company achieves objectively determinable Performance Goals established by the Committee pursuant to the Resolutions. The Performance Units earned shall be calculated in accordance with the Resolutions and the Program.

IV. Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to Section XII and except as set forth in the Program, for any Performance Units earned pursuant to Section III above, the specified payment date applicable to such Performance Units shall be the year immediately following the end of the Performance Period. Shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Performance Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration of past services actually rendered by you to the Company or an Affiliate or for its benefit for which you have not previously been compensated or for future services to be rendered, as the case may be, which the Company deems to have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value thereof.

V. Issuance of Certificates; Tax Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and the Program and legally applicable to you (the “Tax Obligations”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax

Obligations is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or your Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units, including the grant of the Performance Units, the vesting of the Performance Units, the conversion of the Performance Units into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Obligations or to achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to your Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax Obligations. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy all applicable Tax Obligations by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer;

(b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Performance Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization);

(c) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Performance Units provided that the Company and your Employer shall only withhold an amount of shares of Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations.

To avoid adverse accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Obligations not to exceed the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates. If the Tax Obligations are satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the earned Performance Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Obligations due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan (any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company hereunder shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan and shall remain available for issuance thereunder).

Finally, you shall pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax Obligations that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan and the Program that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. You agree to take any further actions and to execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section V. Notwithstanding Section IV above, the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

VI. Nontransferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Agreement or in the shares of Common Stock that may become issuable to you hereunder shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be, in any manner, liable for, or subject to, your or your beneficiary’s debts, contracts, liabilities or torts; provided, however, nothing in this Section VI shall prevent transfer (i) by will or (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution.

VII. No Contract for Employment. This Agreement is not an employment or service contract with the Company or an Affiliate and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate.

VIII. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant of Performance Units, you acknowledge that:

(a) the Plan and the Program are established voluntarily by the Company, are discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and in the Program;

(b) the grant of the Performance Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(d) your participation in the Plan and the Program is voluntary;

(e) for labor law purposes outside the United States, Performance Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer, and the grant of Performance Units is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;

(f) for labor law purposes outside the United States, the grant of Performance Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(g) the grant of Performance Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h) neither the grant of Performance Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan, the Program or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan or Program confer upon you any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company;

(i) the future value of the shares of Common Stock that may be earned upon the end of the Performance Period is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j) in consideration of the grant of Performance Units hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from termination of your employment by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and your Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

(l) the Performance Units and the benefits under the Plan and the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in case of a merger, takeover or transfer of liability.

IX. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan and the Program, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan and the Program before taking any action related thereto.

X. Notices. Any notices provided for in this Agreement, the Plan or the Program shall be given in writing or electronically and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at such address as is currently maintained in the Company’s records or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company Stock Administrator. Such notices may be given using any automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, as approved by the Company.

XI. Resolutions, Plan and Program. This Agreement is subject to all the provisions of the Resolutions, the Plan and the Program and their provisions are hereby made a part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, the provisions of Articles 5 and 9 of the Plan (relating to Performance-Based Compensation and Performance Awards, respectively) and Section 13.2 of the Plan (relating to adjustments upon changes in the Common Stock), and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Resolutions, the Plan and the Program, the provisions of the Plan shall control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Program to the contrary, any earned Performance Units paid in cash rather than shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued by the Company for any purpose under the Plan.

XII. No Compensation Deferral. The Performance Units are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (together with the regulations and official guidance promulgated thereunder, the “Code”). However, if at any time the Committee determines that the Performance Units may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and without your prior consent to amend the Program as it may determine is necessary or desirable either for the Performance Units to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including by adding conditions with respect to the vesting and/or the payment of the Performance Units, provided that no such amendment may change the Program’s “performance goals,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, with respect to any person who is a “covered employee,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such amendment to the Program may in the Committee’s sole discretion apply retroactively to this award of Performance Units.

XIII. Provisions Applicable to Participants in Foreign Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Program to the contrary, if you are employed by the Company or an Affiliate in any of the countries identified in the attached Appendix A (which constitutes a part of this Agreement), are subject to the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, or relocate to one of the countries included in the attached Appendix A, your award of Performance Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for such country set forth in Appendix A and to the following additional terms and conditions:

(a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Appendix A, are deemed modified to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with applicable foreign laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan and the Program;

(b) if applicable, the effectiveness of your Award is conditioned upon its compliance with any applicable foreign laws, regulations, rules or local governmental regulatory exemption and subject to receipt of any required foreign regulatory approvals;

(c) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws, the payment of any earned Performance Units shall be made in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s election; and

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no award of Performance Units shall be granted, that would violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Code, or any other securities or tax or other applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the shares issuable upon vesting of the Performance Units shall not be issued unless such shares are then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Notification. You should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Award. In particular, you may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if you have insider information regarding the Company.

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

Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has “inside information” related to the Company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company working at an Affiliate in the Netherlands (including persons eligible to participate in the Plan and the Program) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of such inside information.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

By accepting the Award granted hereunder, you consent to participation in the Plan and the Program and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan and the Program.

You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Award under the Plan and the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that the Awards granted will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, including this Appendix. Consequently, you

Appendix-12

understand that the Award granted hereunder is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of the Award since the future value of the Award and any shares of Common Stock that may be issued in respect of such Award is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that the Award granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the Award or right to the Award shall be null and void.

Appendix-13

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section V of the Award Agreement:

You agree that if you do not pay or your Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of Tax Obligations that you owe due at issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Performance Units, or the release or assignment of the Performance Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to your Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the official rate of HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or your Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding (subject to Section V of the Agreement) the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by your Employer, by withholding in shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Performance Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or by demanding cash or a check from you. You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and Tax Obligations are not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax Obligations may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that the Company or your Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section V of the Award Agreement.

Joint Election. As a condition of the Award, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company or your Employer with respect to the earning and/or payment of the Performance Units and issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Performance Units, the assignment or release of the Performance Units for consideration or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units.

Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to make an election (the “Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for the Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contribution payments on any such gains shall be transferred to you to the fullest extent permitted by law. You further agree to execute such other elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or your Employer. You hereby authorizes the Company and your Employer to withhold such Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions by any of the means set forth in Section V of the Award Agreement.

Failure by you to enter into an Election, withdrawal of approval of the Election by HMRC or a joint revocation of the Election by you and the Company or your Employer, as applicable, shall be grounds for the forfeiture and cancellation of the Performance Units, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.
