Form of Restricted Stock Unit Issuance Agreement of the Company



 Exhibit 10.1 
 GILEAD SCIENCES, INC. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Board has adopted the Plan
for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants who provide services to the Corporation (or any Related Entity). 
 B. Participant is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Related Entity), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to
carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Participant thereunder. 
 C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix A. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, the Corporation hereby awards Restricted Stock Units to Participant upon the following terms and conditions: 
 1. Grant
of Restricted Stock Units. The Corporation hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock on the vesting date of
that unit. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, the applicable vesting schedule for those shares, the dates on which those vested shares shall become issuable to Participant and the remaining terms and
conditions governing the award (the “Award”) shall be as set forth in this Agreement. 
 AWARD SUMMARY 
  

			
	Participant:	  	_____________________________________
		
	Award Date:	  	______________________, 200___
		
	Number of Shares
Subject to Award:	  	______________ shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
		
	Vesting Schedule:	  	The vesting of the Shares shall be tied to the attainment of the Performance Objectives set forth in attached Schedule I and the Participant’s Continuous Service through the Completion
Date of each Performance Objective. The Performance Objectives shall be equally weighted in that the number of Shares allocated to each Performance Objective shall be determined by dividing the total number of such Shares by the number of
Performance Objectives, and the number of Shares so allocated to each Performance Objective shall be designated the “Pro-Rated Shares.”









			
		  	 Participant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the attainment of each Performance Objective at threshold level or above, notify the
Administrator of the Completion Date of that Performance Objective. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine and certify the extent to which that Performance Objective has
in fact been attained. On the basis of that determination, the Administrator shall designate and certify the portion (from 0 to 100%) of the Pro-Rated Shares allotted to that Performance Objective in which Participant shall then vest;
provided, however that Participant shall not vest in any portion of those Pro-Rated Shares unless Participant remained in Continuous Service through the Completion Date for that Performance Objective.
  
 Should the Administrator determine that the minimum threshold level for one or more Performance
Objectives has not been attained prior to the latest Completion Dates for those Performance Objectives, then Participant shall not vest in any of the Pro-Rated Shares allotted to those Performance Objectives, and this Award shall be cancelled with
respect to the Restricted Stock Units covering those Pro-Rated Shares.
  
 One or more
Shares may also vest accordance with the special vesting provisions of Paragraph 3 or 5 of this Agreement, whether or not the Performance Objectives allotted to those Shares are attained.

		
	Issuance Schedule	  	Each allotment of Pro-Rated Shares in which Participant vests in accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule or pursuant to the special vesting provisions of Paragraph 3 or 5 of this
Agreement shall be issued on the date that Pro-Rated Share allotment so vests or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which that Pro-Rated Share allotment
vests or (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following such vesting date (the “Issuance Date”). The Corporation shall collect the applicable Withholding Taxes with respect to the issued Shares pursuant to the procedures set
forth in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.

 2. Limited Transferability. Prior to the actual issuance of the Shares which vest
hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the restricted stock units subject to the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those units or Shares, including (without limitation) any short sale or any
acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of those Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder but otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to
the provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. Participant may also direct the Corporation to record the ownership of any Shares which in fact vest
and become issuable hereunder in the name of a revocable living trust established for the exclusive benefit of Participant or Participant and his or her spouse. Participant may make such a beneficiary designation or ownership directive at any time
by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator or its designee.

 3. Continuous Service Requirement. 
 (a) Should Participant’s Continuous Service terminate for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability prior to the latest
Completion Dates for one or more Performance Objectives, then the Award shall be immediately cancelled with respect to the Pro-Rated Shares allocated to those Performance Objectives, and the number of Restricted Stock Units will be reduced
accordingly. Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units. 
 (b) Should Participant’s Continuous Service terminate by reason of death or Permanent Disability prior to the latest Completion Dates for one or more Performance Objectives, then Participant shall vest in a portion of the Pro-Rated
Shares allotted to each of those particular Performance Objectives. The portion of Pro-Rated Shares in which Participant shall vest with respect to each such Performance Objective shall be determined by multiplying the number of those Pro-Rated
Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (rounded to the next whole month) in which Participant remained in Continuous Service following the Award Date, and the denominator of which is the number of months (rounded to the
closest whole number) in the period beginning with the Award Date and ending with the latest Completion Date for that particular Performance Objective. 
 4. Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents 
 (a) The holder of this Award
shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance after the
Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any dividend
or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, be declared and paid on the outstanding Common Stock while one or more Shares remain subject to this Award
(i.e., those Shares are not otherwise issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution), then a special book account shall be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend equivalent to the actual
dividend or distribution which would have been paid on the Shares at the time subject to this Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As one or more Shares subsequently vest hereunder upon the
satisfaction of the applicable vesting requirements, the phantom dividend equivalents credited to those particular Shares in the book account shall vest and be distributed to Participant (in the same form the actual dividend or distribution was paid
to the holders of the Common Stock entitled to that dividend or distribution or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of those vested Shares. However, such distribution
shall be 

  

 3 








 
subject to the Corporation’s collection of the Withholding Taxes applicable to that distribution. Should Participant cease Continuous Service prior to
vesting in one or more Shares, then the phantom dividend equivalents credited to those Shares shall be cancelled, and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any further right or entitlement to those cancelled amounts. 
 5. Change of Control. 
 (a) To the extent (i) a Change in Control is consummated prior to the latest Completion Dates for one or more Performance Objectives and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in
Control, then the Pro-Rata Shares allotted to each of those particular Performance Objectives shall immediately vest at the time of such Change in Control and shall be issued immediately on the effective date of such Change in Control or as soon as
administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date, or will otherwise be converted into the right to receive the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the
other stockholders of the Corporation in consummation of the Change in Control and distributed at the same time as such stockholder payments, but in no event shall such distribution to Participant be completed later than the later of
(i) the end of the calendar year in which such Change in Control is effected or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the effective date of that Change in Control. Each issuance or distribution
made under this Paragraph 5 shall be subject to the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes. 
 (b)
This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets. 
 6. Adjustment in Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, then equitable and proportional
adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such change and thereby prevent a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. In making such
equitable and proportional adjustments, the Administrator shall take into account any amounts to be credited to Participant’s book account under Paragraph 4(b) in connection with the transaction, and the determination of the Administrator shall
be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of Paragraph 5 shall be controlling.

 7. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. 
 (a) The Corporation shall, on the applicable Issuance Date, issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic
form) for the shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in Paragraph 1 or the special vesting provisions of Paragraph 3 or 5 and shall concurrently distribute to the Participant any phantom dividend
equivalents with respect to those Shares. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3(b) or 5(a), no shares of Common
Stock shall be issued prior to the Completion Date of the Performance Objective to which those shares are allotted. 
 (c) The
Corporation shall collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to each distribution of phantom dividend equivalents by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the
distribution to be the first portion so withheld. 
 ALTERNATIVE FOR SECTION 16 OFFICERS 
 (d) Unless Participant (i) otherwise makes satisfactory arrangements with the Corporation’s Human Resources Department, not
later than forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable vesting date of the shares which become issuable hereunder, to pay the applicable Withholding Taxes through the delivery of a check payable to the Corporation in the amount of such
Withholding Taxes and (ii) in fact delivers such check to the Corporation not later than that vesting date, the Corporation shall collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through the following automatic share withholding method: 
  

	 	•	 	 On the applicable Issuance Date, the Corporation shall withhold, from the vested shares otherwise issuable to Participant at that time, a portion of those shares
with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the applicable Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of shares which the Corporation shall be required to so withhold shall not exceed in Fair Market Value the
amount necessary to satisfy the Corporation’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income.



 ALTERNATIVE FOR NON-SECTION 16 OFFICERS 
 (d) Participant must make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation’s Human Resources Department, not later than forty-five
(45) days prior to the applicable vesting date of the shares which become issuable hereunder, to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes through either of the following methods of payment: 
 (i) the delivery of a check payable to the Corporation in the amount of such Withholding Taxes 
  

 5 








 (ii) the next-day sale of the issued shares through a Corporation-designated brokerage
firm, to the extent necessary to cover the applicable Withholding Taxes, with instructions to such brokerage firm to remit the resulting sale proceeds directly to the Corporation in satisfaction of such Withholding Taxes. However, such sale to cover
transaction may only be effected if (A) such a sale is permissible under the Corporation’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock, (B) the Participant makes an irrevocable commitment, at least sixty (60) days
prior the applicable vesting date for those shares, to effect such sale of the shares and (C) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 
 If a sale to cover transaction cannot be effected in accordance with the foregoing requirements or if Participant does not otherwise pay
the applicable Withholding Taxes on or before the vesting date, then on the applicable Issuance Date, the Corporation shall withhold, from the vested shares otherwise issuable to Participant at that time, a portion of those shares with a Fair Market
Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the applicable Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of shares which the Corporation shall be required to so withhold shall not exceed in Fair Market Value the amount
necessary to satisfy the Corporation’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income

 (e) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5 or this Paragraph 7, the settlement of all restricted stock units which
vest under the Award shall be made solely in shares of Common Stock. In no event, however, shall any fractional shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued at the time the Award vests shall, to the extent
necessary, be rounded down to the next whole share in order to avoid the issuance of a fractional share. 
 8. Deferred Issue
Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent this Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Code Section 409A, then the following limitations shall apply: 

 

	 	•	 	 No Shares or other amounts which become issuable under this Agreement by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service shall actually be issued to
Participant until the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such Separation
from Service occurs or (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the date of such Separation from Service. 


  

	 	•	 	 No Shares or other amounts which become issuable under this Agreement by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service shall actually be issued to a
Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of his or her Separation from 



  

 6 









	 	 
Service or (ii) the date of his or her death, if the Participant is, pursuant to procedures established by the Administrator, deemed at the time of such
Separation from Service to be a “key employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 416(i) and such delayed issuance is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code
Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, all Shares or other amounts deferred pursuant to this Paragraph 8 shall be issued in a lump sum to the Participant. 


 9. Leaves of Absence. For purposes of the normal vesting provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to remain
in Continuous Service during any period Participant is on a military leave, sick leave or other personal leave approved by the Corporation. However, for purposes of applying the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraphs 3(b) and 5(a),
Participant shall be deemed to have ceased Continuous Service upon the commencement date of any leave of absence and not to remain in Continuous Status during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required by law or pursuant to
the following policy: 
  

	 	•	 	 Participant shall be deemed to remain in Continuous Service status during (i) the first three (3) months of an approved personal leave of absence or
(ii) the first seven (7) months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave) and shall be deemed to cease Continuous Service upon the expiration of the applicable three (3)-month or seven (7)-month period.



  

	 	•	 	 In the event Participant is on such an approved or bona fide leave of absence, he or she shall in all events be deemed to cease Continuous Service upon the
earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date, or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason
of his or her voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of his or her death or disability. 


 10. Compliance
with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto. 
 11. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and
addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant shall be in writing and addressed to Participant at the address indicated below Participant’s signature line on this
Agreement or shall be delivered electronically to Participant through the Corporation’s electronic mail system or through an on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Corporation to effect sales of the Common Stock issued hereunder. All notices
shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Corporation’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

and any beneficiaries of the Award designated by Participant. 
 13. Construction. This Agreement and the Award evidenced
hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall be
controlling. All decisions of the Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Award. 
 14. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules. 
 15. Employment at Will. Nothing in this Agreement or
in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to remain in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Related Entity employing or retaining
Participant) or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 
 16. Plan Prospectus. The official prospectus for the Plan is available on the Corporation’s intranet at: http://gnet/
