Executive Nonqualified Retirement Plan to provide supplemental retirement income benefits for a select group of management and highly compensated employees through Company contributions, effective as of January 1, 2001; NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of January 1, 2001, the Plan is hereby adopted to read as follows: ARTICLE I. TITLE AND DEFINITIONS --------------------- 1.1 Title. ------ This Plan shall be known as the Amgen Inc. Executive Nonqualified Retirement Plan. 1.2 Definitions. ------------ Whenever the following words and phrases are used in this Plan, with the first letter capitalized, they shall have the meanings specified below. (a) "Beneficiary" or "Beneficiaries" shall mean the person or persons, including a trustee, personal representative or other fiduciary, last designated in writing by a Participant in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee to receive the benefits specified hereunder in the event of the Participant's death. However, no designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse shall be valid unless consented in writing by such spouse. No Beneficiary designation shall become effective until it is filed with the Committee. Any designation shall be revocable at any time through a written instrument filed by the Participant with the Committee with or without the consent of the previous Beneficiary, (unless such previous Beneficiary was the Participant's spouse). If there is no Beneficiary designation in effect, or the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, then the Participant's spouse shall be the Beneficiary. If there is no surviving spouse, the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant's estate (which shall include either the Participant's probate estate or living trust) shall be the Beneficiary. In any case where there is no such personal representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed and acting in that capacity within 90 days after the Participant's death (or such extended period as the Committee determines is reasonably necessary to allow such personal representative to be appointed, but not to exceed 180 days after the Participant's death), then Beneficiary shall mean the person or persons who can verify by affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Committee that they are legally entitled to receive the benefits specified hereunder. In the event any amount is payable under the Plan to a minor, payment shall not be made to the minor, but instead be paid (a) to that person's living parent(s) to act as custodian, (b) if that person's parents are then divorced, and one parent is the sole custodial parent, to such custodial parent, or (c) if no parent of that person is then living, to a custodian selected by the Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides. If no parent is living and the Committee decides not to select another custodian to hold the funds for the minor, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate for the minor or, if no guardian of the estate for the minor is duly appointed and currently acting within 60 days after the date the amount becomes payable, payment shall be deposited with the court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor. Payment by the Company pursuant to any unrevoked Beneficiary designation, or to the Participant's estate if no such designation exists, of all benefits owed hereunder shall terminate any and all liability of the Company. (b) "Board of Directors" or "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. (c) "Cause" shall mean (i) a Participant's conviction of a felony, (ii) the engaging by Participant in conduct that constitutes willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct in carrying out his or her duties to the Company, resulting, in either case, in material economic harm to the Company, unless the Participant believed in good faith that such conduct was in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company, (iii) the Participant's material breach of any of the terms of his or her offer letter agreement or the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or (iv) the Participant's failure to follow any lawful directive of Amgen Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer with respect to the Participant's employment. For purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, by Participant shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Participant not in good faith.

(f) "Committee" shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board. (g) "Company" shall mean Amgen Inc., and any successor corporations. Company shall also include affiliates and subsidiaries of Amgen Inc., and any successor corporations, if the Committee provides that such corporation shall participate in the Plan. (h) "Company Discretionary Contributions" shall mean, for each Participant, the discretionary amount that the Company allocates to a Participant under this Plan as determined by the Committee. Such amount may differ from Participant to Participant, including no contributions. (i) "Crediting Date" shall mean the date, as determined by the Committee, on which a Participant's Nonqualified Retirement Account is credited with the Company Discretionary Amount. (j) "Disability" shall mean a permanent and total disability that has been certified by the Social Security Administration prior a Participant's Termination of Employment. (k) "Disability Prorated Nonqualified Retirement Account Amount" shall mean portion of the Nonqualified Retirement Account Amount based upon the ratio of (x) the sum of the number of full months of the Participant's active employment with the Company plus 24 months and (y) the number of months between the Participant's first day of participation in the plan and the Crediting Date. (l) "Effective Date" shall mean January 1, 2001. (m) "Eligible Employee" shall mean individuals selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from those staff members of the Company. (n) "Nonqualified Retirement Account" shall mean the bookkeeping account maintained by Company for each Participant that is credited with an amount equal to the Company Discretionary Amount, if any, and any interest credited pursuant to Article 4.

Change of Control Severance Plan, the Participant shall be paid (i) the Prorated Nonqualified Retirement Account Amount plus (ii) an amount equal to the Discretionary Company ---- Contribution minus the sum of (x) the Prorated Nonqualified Retirement Account Amount and (y) an amount equal to the aggregate spread between the exercise prices of the Participant's unvested Company stock options which are in the money and the vesting of which is accelerated by the Change of Control and the NASDAQ closing price of the Company stock, with such spread being determined as of the date of the Change of Control. (See Appendix B for an example). (s) "Retirement Date" shall mean the date upon which a Participant completes 10 years of active employment with the Company and attains age sixty (60).
