“Change-in-Control” means the consummation of one or more of the following events: (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) is or

any other property or securities, unless the shareholders of the Company immediately before such transaction own, directly or indirectly immediately following such transaction, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
Voting Stock of the entity resulting from such transaction in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately before such transaction, or unless such transaction is effected solely to change the
jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock; (iii) the Company or the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, sells, assigns, conveys, transfers or leases all or substantially all (more than 75%) of the assets of the Company or of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole over a 12-month period, as applicable (other than to one or more
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company); or (iv) any time the Continuing Directors (as defined below in this Section 13(c)) do not constitute a majority of the Board (or, if applicable, a successor entity to the Company). 
 For purposes of the above definition of Change-in-Control, “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the
Board who (A) was a member of such Board on the Start Date (the “Original Directors”) or (B) was appointed, nominated for election, or elected to such Board with the approval of a majority of the Original Directors or Continuing

the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq or otherwise, you suffer a material adverse change in your authority as compared to your authority immediately prior to such Change-in-Control. In the event the Company ceases to be publicly traded on the New York
Stock Exchange, Nasdaq or otherwise, the term “ultimate parent entity” used in this Section 13(d) shall not include any direct or indirect shareholders of the Company that are not publicly traded (other than parent entities that are
both (i) operating companies whose primary purpose is not investment related and (ii) not directly or indirectly owned by a company whose primary purpose is investment related). A Material Diminution of Responsibilities shall not be deemed
to have occurred solely by reason of the Company’s sale of one or more of its businesses or by an action taken in good faith to comply with applicable law, generally accepted accounting principles, regulatory guidance, or other similar
guidance. Before “Material Diminution of Responsibilities” has been deemed to have occurred, you must give the Company written notice detailing why you believe a Material Diminution of Responsibilities event has occurred and such notice
must be provided to the Company within thirty days of your actual knowledge of the initial occurrence of such alleged Material Diminution of Responsibilities event. The Company shall then have thirty days after its receipt of written notice to cure
the item cited in the written notice so that “Material Diminution of Responsibilities” will have not formally occurred with respect to the event in question.

by the Company at the time of your “separation from service” with the Company to be a “specified employee,” each within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“409A”), any compensation or benefits to which you
become entitled under this letter (or any agreement or plan referenced in this letter) in connection with such separation shall not be made or commence until the date which is six (6) months after your “separation from service” (or,
if earlier, your death). Such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to you, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which you would otherwise be liable under
Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any compensation or benefits which would have otherwise been paid during that period (whether in a single sum or in
installments) in the absence of this Section shall be paid to you or your beneficiary in one lump sum. 
 15.
Section 280G. In the event that it is determined that any payment or distribution of any type to you or for your benefit made by the Company, by any of its affiliates, by any person who acquires ownership or effective control or ownership
of a substantial portion of the 

  

 9 







 
Company’s assets (within the meaning of Code Section 280G and the regulations thereunder) or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or
payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this letter or otherwise, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then such payments or distributions or benefits shall be payable either: (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in
no portion of such payments or distributions or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax. You shall determine whether to receive the amounts provided in (i) or (ii) and if you select to reduce payments pursuant to (ii), then you shall also
determine which payments or benefits will be reduced and in what magnitude. You and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Company’s independent external accountants to perform the requisite Code
Section 280G computations and analysis. 
 16. No Conflicts with this Offer/Representations. You represent and
warrant that you do not have any agreements, obligations, relationships or commitments to any other person or entity that conflict or would conflict with accepting this offer or fully performing your duties and obligations of this position,
including, without limitation any ongoing obligations you may have to your former employer. You further represent that the credentials and information you provided to Company (or its agents) related to your qualifications and ability to perform this
position are true and correct. 
 17. Abide by Company Policies. You agree to abide by all applicable Company policies
including, but not limited to, policies contained in the Code of Business Conduct and the Securities Law Compliance Manual. You also agree to execute and abide by the attached Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation & Non-Disparagement Agreement
before, during and after your employment with Company. 
 18. Recoupment Policy. You hereby agree and understand that
you will be subject to the Company’s recoupment policy in effect from time to time. Under the current policy applicable to the Company’s senior executives, subject to the discretion and approval of the Board, the Company will, to the
extent permitted by governing law, in all appropriate cases as determined by the Board, require reimbursement and/or cancellation of any bonus or other incentive compensation, including stock-based compensation, awarded to an executive officer or
other member of the Company’s executive leadership team where all of the following factors are present: (a) the award was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement,
(b) in the Board’s view, the executive engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that was a substantial contributing cause to the need for the restatement, and (c) a lower award would have been made to the executive based upon the
restated financial results. In each such instance, the Company will seek to recover the individual executive’s entire annual bonus or award for the relevant period, plus a reasonable rate of interest. 
 19. Stock Ownership. Under Company policy, you are required to comply with certain stock ownership requirements as determined by
the Board. Under current policy, you are required to own 150,000 shares of Company common stock within five years of the Start Date. 
 20. Choice of Law/Remedies for Breach. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this letter shall be governed by the laws of the State of California (except their provisions governing the
choice of law). It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the attached Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement Agreement and certain provisions of this letter (including, without limitation, Sections 1, 10, and 17)
is likely to result in irreparable injury to the Company and that, in addition to any other remedy it may have, the Company shall, to the extent enforceable, be entitled to seek to enforce the specific performance of any obligation by you and to
obtain both temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages. The parties hereby submit themselves to the Superior Court of California in and for the County of San Francisco for the purpose of enforcing this
letter.

 21. Successors. This letter shall be binding upon any successor (whether direct or
indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets, and the Company will require any such successor to expressly assume and agree in
writing to perform this letter in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. For all purposes under this letter, the term “Company” shall include any
successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which becomes bound by this letter by contract, operation of law or otherwise. This letter will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by you and your personal or legal representatives,

as applicable, except as otherwise may be required by applicable law.

communications contemplated by this letter shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, mailed by overnight courier, or sent by confirmed facsimile. In your case, mailed notices shall be addressed to you
at the home address that you most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Chief Legal and
Administrative Officer or General Counsel. 
 23. Modifications and Waivers. No provision of this letter shall be
modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and by the Chief Legal and Administrative Officer or General Counsel of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach of, or
of compliance with, any condition or provision of this letter by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 
 24. Whole Agreement. Except for those agreements or plans specifically referenced herein, this letter contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the
event of any conflict in terms between this letter and any other agreement not specifically referenced herein executed by and between you and the Company, the terms of this letter shall prevail and govern. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of
a conflict between this letter and the terms of the Fair Market Value Stock Options, Premium-Priced Stock Options, and the Initial Performance Share Award, as set forth in the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (and the related award
agreements), except as set forth in Section 10(d), 11(iv), 11(v), and 11(vi) of this letter, the terms set forth in the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (and the related award agreements) shall control. The attached Confidentiality,
Non-Solicitation & Non-Disparagement Agreement shall be considered part of this letter for all purposes. 
 25.

 27. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
provisions of this letter shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 28. Assignment. The Company may assign its rights under this letter to any entity that expressly in writing assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform such obligations in connection with any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to such entity. 
 29. No Mitigation. In the event of your termination of your employment, you will be under no obligation to seek other employment
or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable, or benefits provided, to you under this letter. 
 30. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Except as specifically set forth in this letter and without limiting the Committee’s sole discretion to provide otherwise, nothing in this letter will prevent or limit your future participation in
any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which you may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as you may have under any other contract or agreement entered into
after the Start Date. Amounts that are vested benefits or that you are entitled to receive under any benefit or compensation plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into after the date hereof with, the Company at
or subsequent to the date your employment with the Company terminates will be payable in accordance with such benefit or compensation plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement, except as explicitly modified by this letter. 

31. Cooperation. Following termination of your employment for any reason, you shall reasonably cooperate with, assist and
provide information to the Company and its respective affiliates concerning any matters about which you have knowledge because of your prior employment with the Company or their respective affiliates or your prior involvement as an officer or
director of the Company and/or any of its affiliates. Your agreement to cooperate with, assist and/or provide information to the Company and their respective affiliates includes, if necessary, assistance by you in any litigation matters. Such
assistance and cooperation will be scheduled at times and locations personally convenient for you and not inconsistent with the responsibilities you may have with subsequent employment or rendering of services, except where such scheduling is
unreasonable or impracticable (giving the needs of both parties equal weight) under all of the circumstances. The Company or their respective affiliates shall pay, or reimburse you, for reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by you in providing
such assistance (e.g., reasonable travel costs and reasonable legal fees). In the event that you shall be required to provide services pursuant to this Section in excess of ten (10) hours in any month, you shall be compensated at a rate of
$5,000 per 8-hour day (pro-rated for any partial days of service); provided, however, that you shall not be compensated for any service that you otherwise are required to perform pursuant to applicable law.

 CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-SOLICITATION & NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENT 
 I, Glenn Murphy, in consideration of the offer of employment with The Gap, Inc. (the “Company”), acknowledge that the services I will perform
for the Company are unique and extraordinary and that I will be in a relationship of confidence and trust with the Company. As a result, during my employment with the Company, I will acquire “Confidential Information” that is
(1) owned or controlled by the Company, (2) in the possession of the Company and belonging to third parties, and/or (3) conceived, originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part by me. Confidential Information includes trade
secrets and other confidential or proprietary business, technical, strategic, marketing, legal, personnel or financial information (including, without limitation, financial forecasts or reports and pro-forma financial models), whether or not my work
product, in written, graphic, oral or other tangible or intangible forms, including, but not limited to: board or executive presentations; strategic plans; unannounced product information, specifications, samples or designs; sales and pricing
practices; computer programs; drawings, photographs, diagrams, models; vendor or customer names; the products a vendor supplies to the Company; customer research results; employee lists or organizational charts; company e-mail or telephone
directories; individual employee compensation and benefits information; business or marketing plans; studies, analyses, projections and reports; communication with attorneys; and software systems and processes. Any information that is not readily
available to the public shall be considered to be a trade secret and confidential and proprietary.
 I agree that I will keep the
Confidential Information in strictest confidence and trust. I will not, without the prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel, directly or indirectly use or disclose to any person or entity any Confidential Information, during or
after my employment, except as is necessary in the ordinary course of performing my duties while employed by the Company, or if required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or governmental body, or by
subpoena, summons or other legal process, provided that prior to such disclosure, the Company is given reasonable advance notice of such order and an opportunity to object to such disclosure. 
 I agree that in the event of my employment termination for any reason, I will immediately deliver to the Company all company property, including all
documents, materials or property of any description, or any reproduction of such materials, containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. 
 In order to protect the Confidential Information, I agree that so long as I am employed by the Company, and for a period of two years thereafter, I will not directly or indirectly, on behalf of me, any other person or
entity, solicit, call upon, recruit, or attempt to solicit any of the Company’s employees or in any way encourage any Company employee to leave their employment with the Company. For this purpose, advertisements for employment that do not
directly or indirectly identify me placed in newspapers of general circulation will not be considered solicitation. I further agree that I will not directly or indirectly, on behalf of me, any other person or entity, interfere or attempt to
interfere with the Company’s relationship with any person who at any time was an employee, consultant, customer or vendor or otherwise has or had a business relationship with the Company. 
 I agree now, and after my employment with the Company terminates, not to directly or indirectly, disparage the Company in any way or to make negative,
derogatory or untrue statements about the Company, its business activities, or any of its directors, managers, officers, employees, affiliates, agents or representatives to any person or entity. 
 ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO THIS 25TH DAY OF JULY, 2007.
