PROMISSORY NOTE $500,000.00

 

 

 

 

For value received, I, Hassan Dayem (“Staff Member”), a married man, and I, Katherine Dayem, wife of Staff Member, promise to pay to the order of Amgen Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Payee”), at its office at One Amgen Center Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA ###-###-####, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($500,000.00) (the “Principal”), payable in full on the earlier of five (5) years from date of execution of this Note or thirty (30) days from the date on which Staff Member ceases to be an employee of Payee, whichever first occurs, together with interest on the Principal from the date of this Note until such date as the Note is paid in full. Interest on this Note shall be computed as set forth below. The interest rate for the period from the date of this Note through December 31, 2002 (the “initial rate”) is 4.00% per annum on the unpaid Principal. After December 31, 2002 the interest rate on this Note shall change as set forth below.

 

 

The interest rate shall be adjusted annually on January 1 of each year (the “Change Date”) so as to equal the average interest rate designated as the “Introduction Rates” on adjustable rate loans as publicly offered by the banks and savings and loans in California as published by the Los Angeles Times in its Sunday edition. The rate shall be set using the rates published in the Los Angeles Times on the Sunday immediately preceding the Change Date. In the event that the “Introduction Rates” list is not published in the Los Angeles Times for any reason, then, in such event, the Payee shall establish the interest rate based on a survey by it of the introductory interest rates on adjustable loans offered by no fewer than five banking institutions located in Southern California that the Payee, in its sole discretion, deems representative of banking institutions in the Ventura and Los Angeles County areas. Payee shall give Staff Member notice if the interest rate shall be determined using this alternative method. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate shall never be increased or decreased on any single Change Date by more than one percentage point from the interest rate for the preceding 12 months. At no time during the term of this Note shall the annual interest rate exceed 7.00% per annum.

 

Payee shall deliver or mail to Staff Member a notice of any changes in the adjustable interest rate on this Note and the amount of the Staff Member’s semi-monthly payroll deductions before the effective date of any change. The notice shall include information required by law to be given to Staff Member and also the title and telephone number of a person who shall answer any questions Staff Member may have regarding the notice.

 

 

The interest on this Note shall be payable by semi-monthly deductions from Staff Member’s salary. The amount of such deductions shall initially be Eight Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ($833.33) per installment; provided, however, that the manner of payment of this Note shall not be limited to deductions from Staff Member’s salary. The amount of such deductions shall be adjusted annually concurrently with any adjustment in the interest rate on this Note to ensure that interest to be incurred during the ensuing calendar year shall be paid in twenty-four (24) equal payments. The first such installment shall be on July 31, 2002; second installment shall be on August 15, 2002; and each successive installment shall be on the fifteenth and last days of each successive month until the Principal is repaid. Payee shall give Staff Member at least seven (7) days advance notice of any adjustment in the amount of said payroll deductions. Staff Member

acknowledges and agrees that by executing this Note, Staff Member agrees to the payroll deductions described in this Note.

 

 

At the end of the term of this Note, Staff Member shall have the option to seek to convert this loan to a loan amortized over an additional five-year period by executing a new Promissory Note at terms to be mutually agreed upon by Staff Member and Payee. In the event that Staff Member and Payee are unable to reach agreement on such terms, this Note shall become immediately due and payable.

 

 

Staff Member may prepay without penalty this Note in whole or in part at any time. Any and all payments or prepayments under this Note may be made by Staff Member to Payee at the following address (or such other address as it designates in writing to Staff Member):
