8.2.4Single Royalty. It is expressly agreed that to the extent a Party’s Product hereunder is composed of a product which either is directed against at least two Targets, both of which are Amgen Targets, in the case of Amgen, or Kite Targets, in the case of Kite, that only a single royalty would be owed on such Product, which royalty rate would be based upon the highest royalty rate applicable to either of such Amgen Targets, or Kite Targets, as applicable.

8.2.5Royalty Reduction. On a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, in the event that the Exploitation of a Product is not Covered by a Valid Claim of (a) a Kite Patent or Collaboration Patent (in the case of an Amgen Product) in such country or (b) an Amgen Patent or Collaboration Patent (in the case of a Kite Product) in such country, then the royalty rates set forth in Section 8.2.1 (Royalty Rate) with respect to Net Sales for such Product in such country shall be […***…] percent ([…***…]%), effective as of the date such Product is no longer Covered by a Valid Claim of (i) a Kite Patent or Collaboration Patent (in the case of an Amgen Product) in such country or (ii) an Amgen Patent or Collaboration Patent (in the case of a Kite Product) in such country.

8.2.6Third-Party Intellectual Property. In the event that a Third Party Controls intellectual property that is reasonably necessary for the Exploitation of a Product, then the Paying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to obtain such license to such Third Party intellectual property.

against royalties otherwise

***Confidential Treatment Requested

payable by the Paying Party to the non-Paying Party under Section 8.2 (Royalties) for such Product in such country in such calendar quarter, subject to Section 8.2.7 (Maximum Reduction).

8.2.7Maximum Reduction. The maximum aggregate reduction with respect to any Product in any calendar quarter during the applicable Royalty Term in any country pursuant to Sections 8.2.5 (Royalty Reduction) and 8.2.6 (Third-Party Intellectual Property) shall be […***…] percent ([…***…]%).

Section 8.6 Currency Conversion. In the case of sales outside the United States, payments received by the Paying Party will be expressed in the U.S. Dollar equivalent calculated on a quarterly basis in the currency of the country of sale and converted to their U.S. Dollar equivalent using the average rate of exchange over the applicable calendar quarter to which the sales relate, in accordance with GAAP and the then current standard methods of the Paying Party or the applicable Sublicensee, to the extent reasonable and consistently applied; provided, however, that if, at such time, the Paying Party does not use a rate for converting into U.S. Dollar equivalents that is maintained in accordance with GAAP, then the Paying Party shall use a rate of exchange which corresponds to the rate of exchange for such currency reported in The Wall Street Journal, Internet U.S. Edition at xxx.xxx.xxx, as of the last day of the applicable reporting period (or, if unavailable on such date, the first date thereafter on which such rate is available). The Paying Party will inform the other Party as to the specific exchange rate translation methodology used for a particular country or countries.

Section 8.7 Late Payments. In the event that any payment due hereunder is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest beginning on the day following the due date thereof, calculated at the annual rate of […***…] quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Internet U.S. Edition at xxx.xxx.xxx on the date said payment is due, the interest being compounded on the last day of each calendar quarter; provided, however, that in no event shall said annual interest rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by Law. Each such payment when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued. Said interest and the payment and acceptance thereof shall not negate or waive the right of any Party to seek any other remedy, legal or equitable, to which it may be entitled because of the delinquency of any payment including, but not limited to termination of this Agreement as set forth in Article 13 (Term & Termination).

Section 8.8 Records and Audits. The Paying Party will keep complete and accurate records of the underlying revenue and expense data relating to the calculations of Net Sales generated in the then current calendar year and payments required under this Agreement (or Kite with respect to

***Confidential Treatment Requested

any costs and expenses payable by Amgen hereunder), and during the preceding […***…]. The non-Paying Party (or Amgen with respect to any costs and expenses payable by Amgen hereunder) (the “Auditing Party”) will have the right, once annually at its own expense, to have a nationally recognized, independent, certified public accounting firm, selected by it and subject to the Paying Party’s (or Kite’s with respect to any costs and expenses payable by Amgen hereunder) prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), review any such records of the Paying Party (or Kite with respect to any costs and expenses payable by Amgen hereunder) and its Affiliates and Sublicensees (the “Audited Party”) in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the Audited Party upon reasonable written notice (which shall be no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of strict confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under Section 8.2 (Royalties) within the […***…] period preceding the date of the request for review. No calendar year will be subject to audit under this Section 8.8 (Records and Audits) more than once. The Audited Party will receive a copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by the Auditing Party. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the Auditing Party’s detriment, the Audited Party will, within […***…] after receipt of such report from the accounting firm, pay any undisputed amount of the discrepancy together with interest at the rate set forth in Section 8.7 (Late Payments). The Auditing Party will pay the full cost of the review unless the

***Confidential Treatment Requested

underpayment of amounts due to the Auditing Party is […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the amount due for the entire period being examined, in which case the Audited Party will pay the cost charged by such accounting firm for such review. Should the audit lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the Audited Party’s detriment, the Audited Party may credit the amount of the discrepancy, without interest, against future payments payable to the Auditing Party under this Agreement, and if there are no such payments payable, then the Auditing Party shall pay to the Audited Party the amount of the discrepancy, without interest, within […***…] of the Auditing Party’s receipt of the report.

Section 8.9 Taxes.

8.9.1Withholding. In the event that any Law requires the Paying Party to withhold taxes with respect to any payment to be made by the Paying Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Party will notify the non-Paying Party of such withholding requirement prior to making the payment to the non-Paying Party and provide such assistance to the non-Paying Party, including the provision of such standard documentation as may be required by a tax authority, as may be reasonably necessary in the non-Paying Party’s efforts to claim an exemption from or reduction of such taxes. The Paying Party will, in accordance with such Law withhold taxes from the amount due, remit such taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and furnish the non-Paying Party with proof of payment of such taxes within […***…] following the payment.

abandoning Party’s expense, assist and cooperate in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Abandoned Patent Rights.

Section 9.3 Patent Term Extensions. The Parties will cooperate with each other in gaining Patent Right term extension where applicable to Amgen Products and Kite Products and in the case of any disagreement, Amgen would have the final say as to term extension for any Patent Right claiming the composition or method of use of an Amgen Product, and Kite would have the final say as to term extension for any Patent Right claiming the composition or method of use of a Kite Product .

Section 9.4 Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims. If either (a) any Amgen Product or Kite Product Exploited by or under authority of either Party becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a patent, or (b) if a declaratory judgment action is brought naming either Party as a defendant and alleging invalidity of any of the Patent Rights contained in Collaboration Patents, Kite Patents or Amgen Patents, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall promptly confer to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, each Party shall have the right to defend itself against a suit that names it as a defendant (the “Defending Party”). None of the Parties shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 9.4 (Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims) that admits to the invalidity or unenforceability of any Patent Right Controlled by the other Party (or otherwise effects the scope, validity or enforceability of such Patent Right), incurs any financial liability on the part of any other Party or requires an admission of liability, wrongdoing or fault on the part of the other Party without such other Party’s written consent. In any event, the other Party shall reasonably assist the Defending Party and cooperate in any such litigation at the Defending Party’s request and expense. Additionally, if the Defending Party is not the Party that Controls the Patent Right in question, then the other Party has the right to join any such action.

In the event that such infringement or alleged infringement is with respect to a product that has the same primary mechanism of action as a Kite Product, then Kite shall have the right to enforce the following Patent Rights against any such infringement or alleged infringement thereof – with respect to (i) a Kite Patent, such right shall be a sole right, (ii) (a) Amgen Patents and/or (b) Collaboration Patents that Cover Amgen Products (other than Collaboration Patents that Cover an Improvement to the Kite Platform Technology), such right shall require the prior written consent of Amgen, (iii) any Patent Right within the Collaboration Patents generated by Kite (whether solely by Kite or jointly with Amgen) that solely covers an Improvement to the Kite Platform Technology, such right shall not require the prior written consent of Amgen; and (iv) any Patent Right within the Collaboration Patents that does not Cover Amgen Products, such right shall not require the prior written

consent of Amgen. Kite shall at all times keep Amgen informed as to the status thereof. In such case, Kite may, at its own expense, institute suit against any infringer or alleged infringer and control and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof and recover any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom, subject to Section 9.5.5 (Recoveries).

Amgen shall at all times keep Kite informed as to the status thereof. In such case, Amgen may, at its own expense, institute suit against any infringer or alleged infringer and control and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof and recover any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom, subject to Section 9.5.5 (Recoveries).

Amgen will have the sole right to publish and make scientific presentations with respect to Amgen Products, and

***Confidential Treatment Requested

to issue press releases (except with respect to the terms of this Agreement, which is governed by Section 12.2 (Terms of this Agreement; Publicity)) or make other public disclosures regarding any such Amgen Products, and Kite will not do so without Amgen’s prior written consent, except as required by Law; provided, however, that any publication or presentation to be made by Amgen that names Kite will require the prior consent of Kite.

If there is any dispute between the Parties with regard to a proposed publication, presentation or other communication regarding this Agreement, such dispute shall be referred to the JSC for resolution.

Section 12.4 Relationship to the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 13.5 Effects of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2 (Termination by Amgen) or Section 13.3 (Termination by Kite), the following provisions shall apply in connection with the applicable terminated Target (or, if applicable, all Targets):

(a)

The Terminated Party will responsibly wind-down, in accordance with accepted biopharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices, any on-going clinical studies for which it has responsibility hereunder in which patient dosing has commenced or, if reasonably practicable and not adverse to patient safety and requested by the Continuing Party, the Terminated Party shall complete such trials and the Continuing Party shall reimburse the Terminated Party its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and internal labor costs at the FTE Rate associated therewith. For the purpose of clarity, except as provided for above, the Terminated Party may wind-down any ongoing clinical trials prior to the date of termination in accordance with accepted biopharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices and the Terminated Party will be responsible for any costs associated with such wind-down. Any reagents of the Terminated Party relating to the applicable terminated Target shall be destroyed, or, at the request of the Continuing Party, transferred to the Continuing Party, at the Continuing Party’s expense.

(b)	A termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate any and all sublicenses granted by the Terminated Party pursuant to Section 4.3 (Sublicenses).

(c)	All rights and licenses granted by the Continuing Party to the Terminated Party in Article 4 (License Grant) will terminate, and the Terminated Party and its Affiliates, and Sublicensees will cease all Exploitation of any Products, except to the extent required or expressly permitted hereunder.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

(d)

Upon the Continuing Party’s request within […***…] after receipt of the applicable termination notice, all Marketing Approvals and other regulatory filings and regulatory communications owned (in whole or in part) or otherwise controlled by the Terminated Party and its Affiliates, and Sublicensees, and all other documents reasonably relating to or reasonably necessary to further Exploit any Products, as such items exist as of the effective date of such termination (including all documents related to completed and ongoing clinical studies) will be assigned to the Continuing Party to the extent practicable (or, if not so assigned, the Terminated Party shall make the benefit of the foregoing reasonably available to the Continuing Party), and the Terminated Party will provide to the Continuing Party one (1) copy of the foregoing and all documents contained in or referenced in any such items, together with the raw and summarized data for any clinical studies (and where reasonably available, electronic copies thereof). All expenses in relation to such assignment will be borne by the Continuing Party. In the event of any failure to obtain assignment, the Terminated Party hereby consents and grants to the Continuing Party the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of the Terminated Party, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any such item.

(e)

Upon the Continuing Party’s request within […***…] after receipt of the applicable termination notice, the Terminated Party will grant, and hereby does grant, effective upon such request, to the Continuing Party and its Affiliates, and the Continuing Party and its Affiliates will (i) automatically have, a worldwide, exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, solely for use in Exploiting Products, under Know-How and Patent Rights that are Controlled by the Terminated Party or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees prior to termination and that are solely related to Products and which are necessary for Exploiting Products, and (ii) automatically have, a worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, solely for use in Exploiting Products, under Know-How and Patent Rights that are Controlled by the Terminated Party or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees that are not solely related to Products but that directly relate to and are necessary for Exploiting Products. For the purpose of clarity, such license shall be effective only as of and after the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to protect the confidentiality of proprietary manufacturing technology, the Terminated Party shall have the right to transfer any proprietary manufacturing information contained in such Know-How to a reputable, third-party contract manufacturer for provision of the relevant Product(s) to the Continuing Party, rather than transfer such manufacturing technology to the Continuing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any of the foregoing Know-How or Patent Rights are not Controlled by the

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Terminated Party (or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees) due to the fact that such party would be obligated to make any payments to a Third Party in connection with the grant of the foregoing licenses, then if the Continuing Party agrees to assume such payment obligations, and all other directly related contractual obligations under such license agreement due to the Third Party, such Know-How and Patent Rights shall be included in such license grant.

(f)

Upon the Continuing Party’s request within […***…] after receipt of the applicable termination notice, the Terminated Party will assign (or, if applicable, will cause its Affiliates or Sublicensees to assign) to the Continuing Party all of the Terminated Party’s (and such Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’) right, title and interest in and to any registered or unregistered trademarks or internet domain names that are specific to a Product worldwide, provided that such assignment is in accordance with the Terminated Party’s policy on trademarks (it being understood that the foregoing will not include any trademarks or internet domain names that contain the corporate or business name(s) of the Terminated Party).

(g)

Upon request by the Continuing Party, the Terminated Party shall transfer to the Continuing Party some or all quantities of applicable Products in its possession. If the Terminated Party is, at the time of such termination of this Agreement, party to any Third Party contracts with respect to a Product, then it shall provide the Continuing Party notice of and (to the extent permitted to do so), copies thereof (which may be redacted for information related to other products or technologies or which is not relevant to the applicable terminated Products). The Terminated Party shall assign to the Continuing Party any such contracts requested by the Continuing Party, to the extent relating to the Product and to the extent it has the right under such contract(s) to do so (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents, which efforts shall not require making any payments or incurring any liabilities unless the Continuing Party agrees to reimburse the Terminated Party therefor (and the Terminated Party shall inform the Continuing Party of any such required payment or liability)). In addition, if the Terminated Party terminates the Agreement after Initiation of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial hereunder, then the Terminated Party shall, at the Continuing Party’s cost and expense, (i) provide any cooperation reasonably requested by the Continuing Party to ensure uninterrupted supply of Products (including the Terminated Party’s employees’ time at the FTE Rate), and (ii) if the Terminated Party manufactured a Product at the time of termination, continue to provide for manufacturing of such

All other rights and obligations will terminate upon expiration of this Agreement.

About CAR T Immunotherapies

Kite Pharma’s broadly enabling eACT™ technology platform allows a patient’s T cells to be genetically modified to express cancer-targeting receptors. Engineered CAR T cells contain a single chain antibody domain, which recognizes and binds to a cell surface tumor antigen, as well as intracellular T cell-activating domains. CAR T cells are designed to traffic directly to tumor sites and become activated upon engagement with the target tumor antigen, selectively eradicating the tumor cells.

Amgen Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen Inc. and its subsidiaries (Amgen, we or us) and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports filed by Amgen Inc., including Amgen Inc.'s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Please refer to Amgen Inc.'s most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K for additional information on the uncertainties and risk factors related to our business. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of Jan. 5, 2015, and expressly disclaims any duty to update information contained in this news release.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for us and our partners to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and we expect similar variability in the future. We develop product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as we may

Exhibit F - 3

Execution Copy

have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, we or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development.

In addition, sales of our products (including products of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) are affected by the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. We believe that some of our newer products, product candidates or new indications for existing products, may face competition when and as they are approved and marketed. Our products may compete against products that have lower prices, established reimbursement, superior performance, are easier to administer, or that are otherwise competitive with our products. In addition, while we and our partners routinely obtain patents for our and their products and technology, the protection of our products offered by patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our or our partners' competitors and there can be no guarantee of our or our partners' ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for our products or product candidates. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to produce commercially successful products or maintain the commercial success of our existing products. Our stock price may be affected by actual or perceived market opportunity, competitive position, and success or failure of our products or product candidates. Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to integrate the operations of companies we have acquired may not be successful. Cost savings initiatives may result in us incurring impairment or other related charges on our assets. We may experience difficulties, delays or unexpected costs and not achieve anticipated benefits and savings from our recently announced restructuring plans. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase common stock.

The scientific information discussed in this news release related to our product candidates is preliminary and investigative. Such product candidates are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and no conclusions can or should be drawn regarding the safety or effectiveness of the product candidates.
