GILEAD SCIENCES, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

A.    The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants.

B.    Participant is to render valuable services to the Corporation as a non-employee Director, 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 used in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them herein and 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 indicated below, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit that vests hereunder will entitle Participant to receive one share of Common Stock on the specified issuance date for that unit. The number of Shares subject to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, the applicable vesting schedule for those Shares, the date or dates on which those vested Shares shall become issuable to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing the Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

2.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares. Any Shares which vest hereunder but which 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 the Award. Participant may also direct the Corporation to re-issue the stock certificates (which may be in electronic form) for any Shares which in fact vest and become issuable under the Award during his or her lifetime to one or more designated members of Participant’s Immediate Family or a trust established for Participant and/or the members of his or her Immediate Family. However, the actual issuance of such Shares pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2 shall be subject to the issuance and distribution provisions of any Deferral Election in effect for the Award.

3.Cessation of Service. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5 below, should Participant cease Continuous Service for any reason prior to the Normal Vesting Date, then the Award will be immediately cancelled with respect to those unvested Shares, 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. However, for purposes of this Agreement, Participant shall not be deemed to cease Continuous Service if Participant continues to serve the Corporation as a Director Emeritus immediately following his or her cessation of service as a Board member without an intervening break in Continuous Service.

4.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents.

(a)The holder of the 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 upon their actual issuance following 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 the 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 the Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As the Shares subsequently vest hereunder, the phantom dividend equivalents so credited to those Shares in the book account shall vest and those vested dividend equivalents shall 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 the vested Shares to which those phantom dividend equivalents relate, whether those vested Shares are to be issued in accordance with the Issuance Schedule or distribution provisions set forth in this Agreement or the distribution provisions set forth in Participant’s Deferral Election (if any). Each such distribution shall be subject to the Corporation’s collection of all applicable Withholding Taxes.

(c)Should Participant cease Continuous Service without vesting in one or more of the Shares subject to the Award (including any Shares which do not otherwise vest at that time after taking into account any applicable vesting acceleration provisions set forth in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement), then the phantom dividend equivalents credited to those unvested Shares shall be cancelled, and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any further right or entitlement to those cancelled amounts.

5.Change in Control.

(a)Should Participant remain in Continuous Service until the effective date of a Change in Control, then the Restricted Stock Units at the time subject to the Award will vest immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to those vested units shall 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 that Change in Control, and such consideration per Share shall be distributed to Participant at the same time as such

shareholder payments, but such distribution to Participant shall in all events be completed no later than the later of (i) the close 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. However, if Participant has made a timely Deferral Election with respect to the Award, then the consideration payable per Share in consummation of the Change in Control shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with the distribution provisions of that Deferral Election, and those provisions shall supersede anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 5. Each such issuance shall be subject to the Corporation’s collection of all 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 adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to the Award in order to reflect such change. In making such 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 or Other Amounts.

(a)On each date on which one or more Shares are to be issued in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement or, if the Administrator permits Participant to file a Deferral Election and Participant files a Deferral Election, the distribution provisions of Participant’s Deferral Election, which shall have priority over the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Participant a stock certificate (which may be in electronic form) for those Shares and shall concurrently distribute to Participant any phantom dividend equivalents with respect to those Shares, subject in each instance to the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes. Unless otherwise permitted by the Administrator, only non-employee Directors in the United States may file a Deferral Election.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5, the settlement of all Restricted Stock Units which vest under the Award shall be made solely in Shares. In no event, however, shall any fractional Shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of Shares 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.Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

(a)The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto.

(b)The sale of the Shares issued under the Plan must comply with all Applicable Laws relating thereto, including U.S. securities laws that impose restrictions on insider trading, which may affect Participant’s ability to sell Shares acquired pursuant to the Award. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Corporation. Participant is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all Applicable Laws and should consult a legal advisor in this regard.

9.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 most current

address then indicated for Participant on the Corporation’s records or shall be delivered electronically to Participant through the Corporation’s electronic mail system. 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. or local country mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

10.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Participant, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate and, if the Administrator permits Participant to designate beneficiaries of the Award, all designated beneficiaries.

11.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.

12.Governing Law and Venue.

(a)The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

(b)For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by the Award and this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts for the Northern District of California, and no other courts where the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be performed.

13.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

14.Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Corporation of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

15.Code Section 409A. If Participant is a U.S. taxpayer, the following provisions apply to Participant’s Award:

(a)It is the intention of the parties that in the absence of a timely-made Deferral Election with respect to the Award, the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permissible, comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A applicable to such short-term deferral exception, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that apply to such exception.

(b)However, if Participant makes a timely Deferral Election with respect to the Award, then this Agreement will create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409. In that event, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be applied and interpreted in a manner that complies with all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasure Regulations thereunder. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

16. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

17.No Impairment of Rights. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed or interpreted so as to affect adversely or otherwise impair the right of the Corporation or its stockholders to remove Participant from the Board at any time in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.

18.Plan Prospectus. The official prospectus for the Plan is attached if the Award is the first Restricted Stock Unit award made to Participant under the Plan. Participant may obtain an additional printed copy of the prospectus by contacting Stock Plan Services through the internet at ***@***.

19.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery.

20.Participant Acceptance. Participant must accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement either electronically through the electronic acceptance procedure established by the Corporation or through a written acceptance delivered to the Corporation in a form satisfactory to the Corporation. In no event shall any Shares be issued under this Agreement in the absence of such acceptance.

21.Appendices B and C. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Participant resides in a country outside the United States or is otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States, the Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement and to any special terms and provisions as set forth in Appendix C for Participant’s country, if any. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix C, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Corporation determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Appendices B and C constitute part of this Agreement.

22.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares. Any Shares which vest hereunder but which 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.

2.Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and Award. In accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future Awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation;

(d)Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e)the Award and the Shares subject to the Award are for future services and should not be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Corporation (or any Related Entity);

(f)the Award and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Corporation (or any Related Entity);

(g)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with any certainty;

(h)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of Participant’s Continuous Service by the Corporation (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of the terms of Participant’s service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Corporation (or any Related Entity), waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Corporation (or any Related Entity) from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(i)unless otherwise provided for in the Plan or by the Corporation in its discretion, the grant of Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to or assumed by another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for in connection with any corporation transaction affecting the shares of the Corporation; and

(j)neither the Corporation nor any Related Entity shall be liable for any exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

3.Data Privacy.

(c)Participant understands that Data may be transferred to E*Trade Financial Services, Inc. or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Corporation in the future, which is assisting the Corporation with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Corporation, E*Trade Financial Services, Inc. and any other possible recipients which may assist the Corporation (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later revokes his or her consent, Participant’s service status with the Corporation or Related Entity will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Participant understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that Participant may contact Participant’s local human resources representative.

4.Responsibility for Taxes.

(a)Regardless of any action the Corporation and/or any Related Entity take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or any Related Entity. Participant further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or any Related Entity (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or phantom dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate

Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Corporation and/or any Related Entity may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)Unless Participant elects to remit to the Corporation the amount of Withholding Taxes due in connection with the Award by submitting the election form to the Corporation within 45 days prior to the Normal Vesting Date, the Corporation shall collect, and Participant authorizes the Corporation to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the issued Shares through an automatic Share Withholding Method pursuant to which the Corporation will withhold, immediately as the Shares are issued under the Award, a portion of those Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes. Participant shall be notified (in writing or through the Corporation’s electronic mail system) in the event the Corporation no longer intends to utilize the Share Withholding Method.

(c)Should any Shares become issuable under the Award at a time when the Share Withholding Method is no longer utilized, then the Withholding Taxes shall be collected from Participant through either of the following alternatives:

•Participant’s delivery of his or her separate check payable to the Corporation in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or a wire transfer from Participant of sufficient funds to the Corporation to cover the amount of such Withholding Taxes, or

•the use of the proceeds from a next-day sale of the Shares issued or issuable to Participant, provided and only if (i) such a sale is permissible under the Corporation’s trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock, (ii) Participant makes an irrevocable commitment, on or before the issuance date for those Shares, to effect such sale of the Shares and (iii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(d)If the Share Withholding Method is to be utilized for the collection of Withholding Taxes, then the Corporation shall withhold the number of otherwise issuable Shares necessary to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes based on the applicable minimum withholding amount or other applicable withholding rate. Participant shall have no right to the Common Stock equivalent of any Shares withheld to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes. Participant may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities for any over-withheld amount. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, for tax purposes, Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the Withholding Taxes due as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant shall pay to the Corporation and/or any Related Entity any amount of Withholding Taxes that the Corporation and/or any Related Entity may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes.

(e)Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation shall collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to the distributed 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.

5.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Depending on Participant’s country of residence, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., the Award) under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Corporation (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Corporation. Participant is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult a legal advisor in this regard.

6.Language. If Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

    

This Appendix C includes special terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to Participant if Participant resides in the countries listed herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement (of which this Appendix C is a part) and the Plan.

This Appendix C may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of April 2014. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Corporation strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Participant vests in the Restricted Stock Units or sells Shares he or she acquires under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Corporation is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country apply to his or her specific situation.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Notification. If Participant is a Belgian resident, Participant is required to report any security (e.g., Shares acquired under the Plan), bank or brokerage accounts held outside of Belgium on Participant’s annual tax return.

Securities Law Warning. Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that the Award, the Agreement, the Plan and all other materials Participant may receive regarding his or her participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Malta and are deemed accepted by Participant only upon receipt of Participant’s electronic or written acceptance in the United States. The issuance of the Shares under the Plan has not and will not be registered in Malta and, therefore, the Shares described in any Plan documents may not be offered or placed in public circulation in Malta.

Participant further acknowledges, understands and agrees that in no event will Shares acquired upon vesting or settlement of the Award be delivered to Participant in Malta; all Shares acquired upon vesting or settlement of the Award will be maintained on Participant’s behalf in the United States.
