The Gap, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to                      (the “Employee”), an award (the “Award”) of Performance Units (each Performance Unit shall be referred to as a “Stock Award”) which represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.05 par value (the “Shares”) subject to the fulfillment of the vesting conditions and other conditions set forth in the attached Appendix A. This Award is granted pursuant to The Gap, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and is subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Performance Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), including the terms and conditions contained in the attached Appendix A.

STOCK AWARDS GRANTED BY THE GAP, INC. ARE GOVERNED SOLELY BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

 


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.
