                   II.       Value of Units. The value of each Unit is equal to

the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date.

 

                  III.      Performance Goals. Up to 225% of the Units shall be

earned, depending on the extent to which the Company achieves objectively

determinable performance goals established by the Compensation and Management

the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors

of Amgen Inc., adopted on March 8, 2004, regarding the Performance Award Program

satisfy any federal, state and local tax withholding obligation relating to the

payment of the Units earned by hereby authorizing the Company to withhold from

vesting or the payment of the Units earned a number of shares having a fair

market value less than or equal to the amount of the Company's required minimum

statutory withholding. Any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company
