PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

RECITALS

A.    Gilead Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) has implemented the Gilead Sciences, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants to continue their service relationship with the Company.

B.    This Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Participant thereunder.

C.    All capitalized terms in this Performance Share Award Agreement for Non-U.S. Participants (this “Agreement”) shall have the meaning assigned to them herein or in the attached Appendix A. Capitalized terms not defined herein or in the attached Appendix A shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.Grant of Performance Shares. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date indicated below, an award (the “Award”) of Performance Shares under the Plan. This Agreement provides the Participant with the right to receive one or more shares of Common Stock on the designated issuance date for those shares, based upon the extent to which each Performance Share vests pursuant to the terms hereof. The Target Shares subject to this Award, the applicable performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting requirements for this Award, the date or dates on which the shares of Common Stock that vest hereunder shall become issuable and the remaining terms and conditions governing this Award, including the applicable vesting acceleration provisions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

AWARD SUMMARY

Participant	[FIRST NAME MIDDLE NAME LAST NAME]
Award Date:	[GRANT DATE]

1

Exhibit 10.39

Target Number of Performance Shares:	The actual number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable pursuant to the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I. For purposes of the applicable calculations under Schedule I, the target number of Performance Shares to be utilized is [SHARES] shares (the “Target Shares”).
Vesting Schedule:	Vesting Requirements. The Performance Shares shall be subject to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting requirements set forth in attached Schedule I and shall vest on the Certification Date (as defined in Appendix A). Change in Control Vesting. The shares of Common Stock underlying the Performance Shares may also vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement should a Change in Control occur after the start but prior to the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Shares.
Issuance Date:	The shares of Common Stock which actually vest and become issuable pursuant to the Performance Shares shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the particular circumstances under which such vesting occurs.

1.Limited Transferability. Prior to the actual issuance of the shares of Common Stock which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Performance Shares subject to this Award or the underlying shares of Common Stock or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Performance Shares or underlying 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 the underlying shares of Common Stock. However, any shares of Common Stock 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.

2.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 of Common Stock subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those shares upon their actual issuance following the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any dividend or other distribution is declared and paid on shares of Common Stock after the Award Date, but prior to the complete settlement, cancellation or forfeiture of this Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, upon settlement of this Award, an amount (the “phantom dividend equivalent amount”) equal to the dividends or other distributions that would have been paid or issued on the number of shares of Common Stock actually vested and issuable to Participant pursuant to this Award. The

2

Exhibit 10.39

phantom dividend equivalent amount shall be calculated by the Administrator in its discretion and need not be adjusted for interest, earnings or assumed reinvestment. The phantom dividend equivalent amount shall be distributed to Participant concurrently with the issuance of the vested shares to which those phantom dividend equivalents relate, and may be paid and distributed in the same form the actual dividend or distribution was paid to the holders of the Common Stock or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate. Each such distribution of phantom dividend equivalents shall be subject to the Company’s collection of any Withholding Taxes applicable to that distribution. The Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination shall be controlling. No phantom dividend equivalent amount shall be paid or distributed on shares of Common Stock under this Award that are forfeited or that otherwise are not vested and issued or issuable under this Award.

3.Change in Control. The following provisions shall apply only to the extent a Change in Control is consummated prior to the Certification Date and shall have no force or effect if the effective date of the Change in Control occurs after the Certification Date:

(a)Should (i) the Change in Control occur within the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant shall immediately vest in that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Target Shares subject to this Award, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions.

(b)Should (i) the Change in Control occur at any time on or after the completion of the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant shall immediately vest in that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Target Shares subject to this Award or (ii) the actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares determined by multiplying (A) the Target Shares subject to this Award by (B) the applicable percentage (determined in accordance with the payout slope set forth in attached Schedule I) for the level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained over an abbreviated Performance Period ending with the close of the Company’s fiscal quarter coincident with or immediately preceding the effective date of the Change in Control, in either case, without regard to the Continuous Service vesting requirements.

(c)The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall also apply should Participant’s Continuous Service terminate, by reason of an involuntary termination (other than as a result of Retirement, death, or Permanent Disability) other than for Cause (or similar reasons comparable to Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or under the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any) or his or her resignation due to Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for the Change in Control transaction and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of the definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or

3

Exhibit 10.39

(ii) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control.

(d)Should Participant cease Continuous Service during the Performance Period by reason of death or Permanent Disability and a Change in Control subsequently occurs prior to the Certification Date, then Participant shall, at the time of such Change in Control, vest in a pro-rated number of shares of Common Stock calculated by multiplying (i) the number of Target Shares or Performance-Qualified Shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 4 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of Continuous Service actually completed by Participant in the Performance Period (rounded to the closest whole month), and the denominator of which is the number of months (rounded to the closest whole number) comprising the portion of such Performance Period ending with the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Change in Control or (ii) the last day of the abbreviated Performance Period (if any) taken into account under clause (ii) of Paragraph 4(b), which shall be settled and paid as provided in subparagraph (f) of this Paragraph 4 in lieu of any issuance of shares pursuant to Schedule I.

(e)Should Participant cease Continuous Service by reason of his or her Retirement at any time after the completion of the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date and a Change in Control subsequently occurs prior to the Certification Date, then Participant shall, at the time of such Change in Control, vest in a pro-rated number of shares of Common Stock calculated by multiplying (i) the number of Target Shares or Performance-Qualified Shares determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 4 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of Continuous Service actually completed by Participant in such Performance Period prior to his or her Retirement (rounded to the closest whole month), and the denominator of which is the number of months (rounded to the closest whole number) comprising the portion of such Performance Period ending with the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Change in Control or (ii) the last day of the abbreviated Performance Period (if any) taken into account under clause (ii) of Paragraph 4(b), which shall be settled and paid as provided in subparagraph (f) of this Paragraph 4 in lieu of any issuance of shares pursuant to Schedule I. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable retirement treatment that applies to this grant under the Plan being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable retirement treatment provided in this subparagraph.

(f)The number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall be converted into the right to receive for each such share the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other stockholders of the Company in consummation of the Change in Control, and such consideration shall be distributed to Participant on the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) business day following the effective date of the Change in Control, provided such Change in Control also constitutes a Qualifying Change in Control, or (ii) the date those shares would have been issued to Participant in accordance with Paragraph 6 in the absence of such Change in Control. Each issuance

4

Exhibit 10.39

or distribution made under this Paragraph 4(f) shall be subject to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(g)Except for the actual number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Participant shall cease to have any further right or entitlement to any additional shares of Common Stock under this Agreement following the effective date of the Change in Control.

(h)This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company 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.

4.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, extraordinary dividend or distribution or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company’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 this Award in order to reflect such change. The determination of the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of any Change in Control transaction, the provisions of Paragraph 4 shall also be applicable.

5.Issuance or Distribution of Vested Shares or Other Amounts.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 or Paragraph 7, the shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I shall be issued in accordance with the following provisions:

-    The issuance of the shares of Common Stock shall be effected during the period beginning on the first (1st) business day of February of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends and ending no later than March 15 of that calendar year.

(b)The Company shall, on the applicable issuance date, issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate in electronic form for the shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I and shall concurrently settle with Participant any dividend equivalent amount with respect to those shares as provided in Paragraph 3.

(c)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued prior to the Certification Date. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Award, and any fractional share resulting from any calculation made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be rounded down to the next whole share.

5

Exhibit 10.39

(d)Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer may 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 Company and/or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (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 of Common Stock or other property in settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalent amount provided pursuant to Paragraph 3 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 is or becomes subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

(e)The Company shall collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued under this Agreement (including any shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of any dividend equivalent amount as provided in Paragraph 3) through an automatic share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the shares of Common Stock 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 (the “Share Withholding Method”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Withholding Method shall not be utilized if (i) such method is not permissible or advisable under local law or (ii) the Company otherwise decides no longer to utilize such method and provides Participant with notice to such effect.

(f)If the Share Withholding Method is to be utilized for the collection of Withholding Taxes, then the Company shall withhold the number of otherwise issuable shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes based on the applicable minimum statutory rate or other applicable withholding rate, including maximum applicable rates, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. If the maximum rate is used, any over-withheld amount will be refunded to Participant in cash by the Company or Employer (with no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent) or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(g)The Company shall have sole discretion to determine whether or not the Share Withholding Method shall be utilized for the collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes. Participant shall be notified (in writing or through the Company’s electronic mail system) in the event the Company no longer intends to utilize the Share Withholding Method. Should any

6

Exhibit 10.39

shares of Common Stock become issuable under the Award (including any shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of any dividend equivalent amount as provided in Paragraph 3) at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not being utilized by the Company, then the Withholding Taxes shall be collected from Participant through a sale-to-cover transaction authorized by Participant, pursuant to which an immediate open-market sale of a portion of the shares of Common Stock issued to Participant will be effected, for and on behalf of Participant, by the Company’s designated broker to cover the Withholding Tax liability estimated by the Company to be applicable to such issuance. Participant shall, promptly upon request from the Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such open-market, sale-to-cover transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no sale-to-cover transaction shall be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(h)If the Company determines that such sale-to-cover transaction is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the shares of Common Stock until such sale-to-cover transaction can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through a wire transfer of funds from Participant to the Company in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event shall any shares of Common Stock be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes, and any such arrangement must be in compliance with any applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.

(i)The Company shall collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to any dividend equivalent amount as provided in Paragraph 3 that is distributed in a form other than shares of Common Stock 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, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.

(j)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Paragraphs 6(d) through 6(i), the employee portion of the federal, state and local employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting of the shares of Common Stock or any other amounts hereunder (the “Employment Taxes”) shall in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest hereunder. Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested shares of Common Stock or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest, Participant shall, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check

7

Exhibit 10.39

payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company ) in the dollar amount equal to the Employment Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts. The provisions of this Paragraph 6(j) shall be applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Code Section 3121(v).

Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 or this Paragraph 6, the settlement of all Performance Shares or Performance-Qualified Shares which vest under the Award shall be made solely in shares of Common Stock.

6.Special Deferral Election.     Provided Participant is a U.S. tax resident and Participant timely submits a properly completed deferral election in a form provided by the Company, any shares of Common Stock that become issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of such deferral election, subject to Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable Withholding Taxes under Paragraph 6.

7.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various Continuous Service vesting provisions of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not to remain in Continuous Service status during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed 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 no event, however, shall Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service or Employee status on or before that date, or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service or Employee status actually terminates by reason of his or her voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of his or her death or Permanent Disability.

8.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto.

9.Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

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

8

Exhibit 10.39

(b)the grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards 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 Company;

(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f)the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(g)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any Related Entity or the Employer, waives Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, any Related Entity and the Employer 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 agreed to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

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

(j)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Related Entity shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.

Exhibit 10.39

10.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Participant is hereby advised to consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

11.Data Privacy.Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Related Entity for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc., or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company 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 Company, E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (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 seeks to revoke Participant’s consent, Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or

10

Exhibit 10.39

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.

12.Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company 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 Company’s employee records or shall be delivered electronically to Participant through the Company’s electronic mail system or through an on-line brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect sales of the Common Stock issued hereunder. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. mail or equivalent foreign mail service, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

13.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 Company and its successors and assigns and Participant, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate.

14.Code Section 409A

(a)It is the intention of the parties that 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) with respect to one or more shares of Common Stock underlying this Award. 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, as they apply to such shares of Common Stock, 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, to the extent this Agreement should be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A with respect to one or more shares of Common Stock underlying this Award, whether by reason of a deferral election that satisfies the requirements of Paragraph 7 above or the pro-rata Continuous Service vesting provisions of this Agreement, then the following provisions shall apply with respect to those shares, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

-    None of those shares of Common Stock or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to those shares by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant until the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or as soon

11

Exhibit 10.39

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 (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date of such Separation from Service.

-    None of those shares of Common Stock or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to those shares by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Company, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The deferred shares of Common Stock or other distributable amount shall be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first (1st) day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death.

-    No amounts that vest and become payable under Paragraph 4 of this Agreement with respect to those shares of Common Stock by reason of a Change in Control shall be distributed to Participant at the time of such Change in Control, unless that transaction also constitutes a Qualifying Change in Control. In the absence of such a Qualifying Change in Control, the distribution shall not be made until the date on which the shares of Common Stock to which those amounts pertain would have become issuable in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6(a) of this Agreement.

-    If a deferral election under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement is in effect with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying this Award, no amounts that vest and become payable under Paragraph 4 with respect to those shares by reason of a Change in Control shall be distributed to Participant at the time of that Change in Control unless the transaction also constitutes a Qualifying Change in Control. In the absence of such a Qualifying Change in Control, the distribution shall not be made until the date on which the shares of Common Stock to which those amounts pertain would have become issuable in accordance with Participant’s deferral election under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.

15.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

12

Exhibit 10.39

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.

16.Governing Law/Venue. 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. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement or otherwise relating to or arising from this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

17.Employment. 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 Employer 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 or similar reasons comparable to Cause under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or under the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any.

Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

ADDENDUM

TO THE

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

Terms and Conditions

This Addendum includes special terms and conditions applicable to Participant if Participant resides in one of the countries covered by this Addendum. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in Appendix A. Capitalized terms not defined herein or in the attached Appendix A shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working, transfers employment after the Award is granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall have the sole discretion to determine to what extent the terms and conditions in this Addendum shall apply to Participant.

Notifications

This Addendum also includes notifications of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information contained in these notifications is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the countries to which this Addendum refers as of January 2015. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the notifications herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Participant acquires shares of Common Stock or sells shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company 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 may apply to Participant’s situation.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

The following supplements the Withholding Taxes provisions contained in the Issuance or Distribution of Vested Shares or Other Amounts paragraph of the Agreement:

Withholding Taxes

16

Exhibit 10.39

If payment or withholding of any income tax due is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurs or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) official rate and it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Issuance or Distribution of Vested Shares or Other Amounts paragraph of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the 1934 Act), the terms of this provision will not apply to Participant. In the event that Participant is a director or executive officer, as defined above, and income taxes are not collected from or paid by Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Issuance or Distribution of Vested Shares or Other Amounts paragraph of the Agreement.

Exhibit 10.39

SCHEDULE I

PERFORMANCE GOAL AND PERFORMANCE PERIOD

PERFORMANCE PERIOD

The measurement period for the Performance Shares shall be the three (3)-year period beginning February 1, 2015 and ending January 31, 2018 (the “Performance Period”).

PERFORMANCE GOAL FOR PERFORMANCE VESTING

Performance Goal – Total Shareholder Return: The performance-vesting requirement for the Performance Shares subject to this Award shall be tied to the percentile level at which the total shareholder return (including stock price appreciation and reinvestment of any cash dividends or other stockholder distributions) to the Company’s stockholders over the Performance Period stands in relation to the total shareholder return realized for that period by the companies comprising the following three subsets of the S&P Healthcare Index: Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals and Health Care Equipment (collectively the “S&P Healthcare Sub-Index”).

For such purpose, the total shareholder return (“TSR”) shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:

TSR = (Ending Stock Price* - Beginning Stock Price**) + Reinvested Dividends***                     Beginning Stock Price**

* Ending Stock Price is the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock calculated for the last sixty (60) consecutive trading days within the Performance Period.

** Beginning Stock Price is the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock calculated for the last sixty (60) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the commencement of the Performance Period.

*** Reinvested Dividends shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares (including fractional shares) that could have been purchased during the Performance Period had each cash dividend paid on a single share during that period been immediately reinvested in additional shares (or fractional shares) at the closing selling price per share of the Common Stock on the applicable dividend payment date by (ii) the average daily closing price per share calculated for the last sixty (60) consecutive trading days within the Performance Period.

Each of the foregoing amounts shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the shares in question without the issuer’s receipt of consideration.

For each company in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index, the TSR with respect to its common stock shall be calculated in the same manner as for the Common Stock.

In addition, the following parameters shall be in effect for purposes of measuring the total shareholder return for the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index:

-    a company will be included in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index only if that company is in existence both at the start of the Performance Period and at the end of the Performance Period, and the stock price performance of any company that is

Schedule I-1

Exhibit 10.39

acquired, or otherwise ceases to exist as an independent publicly-owned entity, during the Performance Period shall not be taken into account in determining the relative total shareholder return of the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index for the Performance Period;

-    any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend), whether in cash, securities (other than shares of the distributing company’s common stock) or other property, made during the Performance Period by a company included in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index for that period shall be treated in the same manner as a regular cash dividend paid by such distributing company (in an amount per share of the distributing company’s common stock deemed equal to the cash amount or the fair market value of the securities or other property distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock) that is immediately reinvested in the distributing company’s common stock; provided and only if the amount distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock (as determined in the manner set forth herein) is at least ten percent (10%) of the closing price per share of the distributing company’s common stock on the effective date of such distribution; otherwise, such distribution shall not be taken in effect in calculating the relative total shareholder return of the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index; and     

-    any spin-off distribution of shares of the common stock of one or more subsidiaries or other affiliated entities that is made during the Performance Period by a company included in the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index for that period shall be treated in the same manner as a regular cash dividend paid by that distributing company (in an amount per share of the distributing company’s common stock deemed equal to the fair market value of the common stock (or fractional share thereof) of the spun-off entity distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock) that is immediately reinvested in the distributing company’s common stock; provided and only if the amount distributed per share of the distributing company’s common stock (as determined in the manner set forth herein) is at least ten percent (10%) of the closing price per share of the distributing company’s common stock on the effective date of such distribution; otherwise, such spin-off distribution shall not be taken in effect in calculating the relative total shareholder return of the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index.     

For purposes of measuring the total shareholder return of the Company for the Performance Period, the foregoing parameters governing distributions and spin-off transactions shall also apply to any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend) or spin-off transaction that is effected by the Company during the Performance Period.

Should a Change in Control occur during the Performance Period, then the attained level of the Performance Goal shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Change in Control provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement.

Performance-Qualified Shares: Within thirty-five (35) days after the completion of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine and certify the actual level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained. The actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares that results from such certification may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares subject to this Award, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement. The actual percentage shall be determined on the basis of the percentile level at which the Administrator

Schedule I-2

Exhibit 10.39

certifies that the TSR Performance Goal has been attained in relation to the total shareholder return realized for that period by the companies comprising the S&P Healthcare Sub-Index; provided, however, that (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may qualify as Performance-Qualified Shares may not exceed 200% of the Target Shares, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock that may qualify as Performance-Qualified Shares pursuant to the Relative TSR Payout Slope below exceed 100% of the Target Shares (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement) if the Company’s absolute TSR for the Performance Period is negative.

Payout Slope for Determining Number of Performance-Qualified Shares Based on Attained Levels of TSR Performance Goal: The number of shares of Common Stock that may qualify as Performance-Qualified Shares on the basis of the certified percentile level of TSR Performance Goal attainment shall be calculated by multiplying the Target Shares (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement) by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the following payout slope for the TSR Performance Goal (with appropriate straight-line interpolation for any attained percentile level within two designated percentile levels in such slope):

CONTINUOUS SERVICE VESTING REQUIREMENT FOR PERFORMANCE-QUALIFIED SHARES

The number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant may actually vest on the basis of the number of Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator in accordance with the performance vesting provisions of this Schedule I shall be tied to his or her completion of the following Continuous Service vesting requirements:

-    If Participant remains in Continuous Service through the Certification Date, Participant shall vest in one-hundred percent (100%) of the Performance-Qualified Shares certified by the Administrator for the Performance Period.

-    If Participant’s Continuous Service terminates prior to the Certification Date by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then Participant shall, following the completion of the Performance Period and the Certification Date, vest in that number of shares of Common Stock (if any) determined by multiplying the number of Performance-Qualified Shares, based on the actual level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained and certified for the Performance Period, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of Continuous Service actually completed by Participant in the Performance Period (rounded to the closest whole month), and the denominator of which is the number of months (rounded to the closest whole number) constituting the entire Performance Period.

-    If Participant’s Continuous Service terminates by reason of his or her Retirement at any time after the completion of the first twelve (12) months of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date, then Participant shall, following the completion of the Performance Period and the Certification Date, vest in that number of shares of Common Stock (if any) determined by multiplying the number of Performance-Qualified Shares, based on the actual level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained and certified for the Performance Period, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of Continuous Service actually completed by Participant in such Performance Period prior to his or her Retirement (rounded to the closest whole month), and the denominator of which is the number of months (rounded to the closest whole number) constituting the entire Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable retirement treatment that applies to this grant under the Plan being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable retirement treatment provided in this subparagraph.

-    If (i) Participant’s Continuous Service terminates by reason of an involuntary termination other than for Cause, or his or her resignation due to Constructive Termination, at any time after the completion of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date and (ii) such termination of Continuous Service also occurs during a period while there is in effect a definitive executed agreement for the Change in Control transaction, then Participant shall vest in the number of Performance-Qualified Shares in which Participant could vest, based on the actual level at which the TSR Performance Goal is attained and certified for the Performance

Schedule I-5

Exhibit 10.39

Period, had Participant remained in Continuous Service through such Certification Date.

-    If Participant’s Continuous Service ceases for any other reason (including, without limitation, any deemed cessation of Continuous Service under Paragraph 8 of this Agreement) prior to the Certification Date, then Participant shall not vest in any of the Performance-Qualified Shares, and all of Participant’s right, title and interest to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that should a Change in Control occur prior to the completion of the Performance Period, then the provisions of Paragraph 4 shall govern the vesting of the Performance Shares subject to this Award.

Schedule I-6
