	 STOCK AWARDS GRANTED BY THE GAP, INC. ARE GOVERNED SOLELY BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE

 APPENDIX A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK AWARD 
 1. Grant of Stock Awards. The Company hereby grants to
the Employee as a separate incentive in connection with his or her employment and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her services, an Award with respect to the number of Stock Awards set forth on page 1 of this Agreement,
subject to all the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. Employee understands and agrees that this Award does not guarantee any future Stock Award grants and that grants are made at the sole discretion of the Company. 
 2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. On any date, a Stock Award has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. Unless and until a Stock
Award has vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement, the Employee will have no right to payment of a Share with respect to the Stock Award. Prior to actual payment of any Shares pursuant to vested
Stock Awards, each Stock Award represents an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. 
 3. Vesting of Stock Awards and Issuance of Shares. 
  

	 	(a)	Subject to paragraphs 4, 5 and 6, the Stock Awards subject to this Agreement will vest as to the number of Stock Awards, and on the dates shown, on the first page of this Agreement
(each a “Vesting Date”), but in each case, only if the Employee has been continuously employed by the Company or by one of its Affiliates from the date of this Award until the applicable Vesting Date of the Stock Awards. If Employee is not
employed on such date(s), the Award shall terminate, as set forth in paragraph 6. 

  

	 	(b)	Upon each Vesting Date, one Share shall be issued for each Stock Award that vests on such Vesting Date, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.


  

	 	(c)	If the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Stock Award, the payment of such accelerated portion of
the Stock Award nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Stock Award had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company
or by one of its Affiliates as of such date(s)). 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Stock Award in connection
with Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death and provided that such Termination of Service is a “separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A) and if [ADD ONLY TO AGREEMENTS TO NON-US EMPLOYEES:
(i) Employee is subject to U.S. income tax, and (ii)] Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such Termination of Service, then any such accelerated Stock Awards otherwise payable
within the six (6) month period following Employee’s Termination of Service instead will be paid on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s Termination of Service, unless the Employee
dies following his or her Termination of Service, in which case, the Stock Awards will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 7. Thereafter, such Stock Awards shall continue
to be paid in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3(c). For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any final Treasury Regulations and other
Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time (“Section 409A”). 

  

	 	(e)	It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Shares subject to the Stock Award granted under this Agreement will be
subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. 









	 	(f)	No fractional Shares shall be issued under this Agreement. 

 4. Death. In the event of the Employee’s death, the remaining Stock Awards shall automatically and with no exercise of discretion by the Committee become fully vested on the date of death. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, if in the event that within one year of the date of this Agreement, Employee dies, this Stock Award shall immediately thereupon terminate. 
 5. Retirement. 
 (a) A portion of the
remaining Stock Awards automatically and with no exercise of discretion by the Committee shall become fully vested and applicable taxes shall be withheld by the Company or its designated Affiliate in accordance with paragraph 7 on the later of the
date that the Employee reaches Normal Retirement Age (as defined in GapShare or any successor retirement plan) or November 15th of the year in which
Normal Retirement Age is reached. The portion of the remaining Stock Awards that vests in accordance with the preceding sentence shall have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay any taxes required to be withheld by the Company solely as a
result of (a) the Employee’s becoming eligible to receive shares of common stock upon Retirement pursuant to paragraph 5(b), and (b) the vesting of such portion of the remaining Stock Awards. 
 (b) In the event of Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the remaining Stock Awards automatically and with no exercise of discretion by the Committee
shall become fully vested on the date of Retirement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph 5, if in the event that within one year of the date of this Agreement, Employee terminates employment due to Retirement, no portion of this
Stock Award will vest and this Stock Award shall immediately thereupon terminate. If [ADD ONLY TO AGREEMENTS TO NON-US EMPLOYEES:(i) Employee is subject to U.S. income tax, and (ii)] Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A at the time of Employee’s Retirement then the payment of such accelerated Stock Awards will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s Retirement. 
 6. Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Stock Awards that have not vested pursuant
to paragraphs 3, 4 or 5 will be forfeited and cancelled automatically at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Service. 
 7.
Withholding Taxes. The Employee agrees that the Company will withhold a portion of the Shares scheduled to be issued pursuant to vested Stock Awards that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the federal, state and local income,
employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or its designated Affiliate. The Company will only withhold whole Shares and therefore the Employee also authorizes deduction without notice from salary or other
amounts payable to the Employee of cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Company’s remaining tax withholding obligation. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, the Employee, if the Company in its sole discretion so agrees, may elect
to furnish to the Company written notice, no more than 30 days and no less than 5 days in advance of a scheduled Vesting Date (or other required withholding event), of his or her intent to satisfy the tax withholding requirement by remitting the
full amount of the tax withholding to the Company on the scheduled Vesting Date (or other required withholding event). In the event that Employee provides such written notice and fails to satisfy the tax withholding requirement by the Vesting Date
(or other required withholding event), the Company shall satisfy the tax withholding requirement pursuant to the first two sentences of this paragraph. 
 8. Beneficiary Designation. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the Employee’s designated beneficiary, or if no
such beneficiary survives the Employee, the person or persons entitled to such distribution or delivery under the Employee’s will or, if the Employee should fail to make testamentary disposition of such property, the executor of his or her
estate. In order to be effective, a beneficiary designation must be made by the Employee in a form and manner acceptable to the Company. Any transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and
(b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. 
 9. Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Shares deliverable to the Employee on the Vesting Date(s) may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares that have been reacquired by the
Company. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares hereunder so long as the Company reasonably anticipates that such issuance will violate Federal securities law or other applicable law; provided however, that in such event the Company
shall issue such Shares at the earliest possible date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance of the shares will not cause such violation. For purposes of the previous sentence, any issuance of Shares that would cause inclusion
in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code shall not be treated as a violation of applicable law. 







 10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the
Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Stock Award unless and until Shares have been issued in accordance with paragraph 3, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents
or registrars, and delivered to the Employee. Except as provided in paragraph 11, after such issuance, recordation, and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and
receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. 
 11. Changes in Stock. In the event of any merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, Share combination, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares, the Committee shall adjust the Stock Awards subject to the Award,
in such manner as the Committee (in its sole discretion) shall determine to be appropriate. 
 12. Plan Governs. This Agreement is
subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Terms used in this Agreement that are
not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 
 13. Committee Authority. The Committee will have the
power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the
determination of whether or not any portion of the Stock Award has vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other
interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 
 14. No Modification of At-Will Status. The Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement does not impact in any way the right of the
Company, or the Affiliate employing the Employee, as the case may be, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The Employee understands and agrees that his
or her employment is “at-will” and that either the Company or the Employee may terminate the Employee’s employment at any time and for any reason. The Employee also understands and agrees that his or her “at-will” status can
only be changed by an express written contract signed by an authorized officer of the Company and the Employee. 
 15. Non-Transferability
of Award. Except as otherwise herein provided, the Stock Awards herein granted and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and
will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of such Stock Award, or of any right or privilege conferred hereby, contrary to the provisions
hereof, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred hereby, such Stock Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will immediately become null and void. 

16. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the Stock Award contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Employee and the Company. 
 17.
Addresses for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its Legal Department, at The Gap, Inc., Two Folsom, San Francisco, California 94105, or at such other
address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. Any notice to be given to the Employee will be addressed to the Employee at the address set forth on the records of the Company. Any such notice will be deemed to have been duly given if and
when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, and deposited, postage prepaid, in a United States post office. 
 18.
Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 







 19. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or
unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 20. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee
expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written
agreement executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. 
 21. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting
this Award, the Employee expressly warrants that he or she has received a right to an equity based award under the Plan, and has received, read, and understood a description of the Plan. The Employee understands that the Plan is discretionary in
nature and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Company at any time.
