If eBay waives any material condition, it shall promptly issue a press release disclosing such fact and file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing such waiver.

3.4 The Distribution.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3, on or prior to the Effective Time, PayPal will deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Record Holders, book-entry transfer authorizations for such number of the outstanding PayPal Shares as is necessary to effect the Distribution, and shall cause the transfer agent for the eBay Shares to instruct the Agent to distribute at the Effective Time the appropriate number of PayPal Shares to each such holder or designated transferee or transferees of such holder by way of direct registration in book-entry form. PayPal will not issue paper stock certificates in respect of the PayPal Shares. The Distribution shall be effective at the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4(c), each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Distribution a number of whole PayPal Shares equal to the number of eBay Shares held by such Record Holder on the Record Date multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(c) No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional shares interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a stockholder of PayPal. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c), would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a PayPal Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, eBay shall direct the Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional PayPal Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers fees and commissions. None of eBay, PayPal or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional PayPal Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). Neither eBay nor PayPal will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of eBay or PayPal. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(e), the beneficial owner of eBay Shares held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the distribution of PayPal Shares pursuant to the Distribution is not permitted under the applicable Law of any jurisdiction (each such jurisdiction, a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”), each Record Holder in such Prohibited Jurisdiction who, but for such applicable Law, would have received a PayPal Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall receive a distribution of cash, without any interest thereon, in lieu of such PayPal Share to the extent permitted by the applicable Law of such Prohibited

-36-

Jurisdiction. The procedures set forth in Section 3.4(c) with respect to fractional shares shall apply to the distribution of PayPal Shares to Record Holders in Prohibited Jurisdictions, mutatis mutandis, with each reference to a “fractional share” in such sentences being deemed a reference to a PayPal Share that, but for this Section 3.4(d) and for applicable Law, would have been distributed pursuant to the Distribution to a Record Holder in a Prohibited Jurisdiction.

(e) Any PayPal Shares or cash in lieu of PayPal Shares (or fractions thereof) that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to PayPal, and PayPal shall hold such PayPal Shares for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such PayPal Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of PayPal Shares (or fractions thereof) shall be obligations of PayPal, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and eBay shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

(f) Until the PayPal Shares are duly transferred in accordance with this Section 3.4 and applicable Law and subject to Section 3.4(d), from and after the Effective Time, PayPal will regard the Persons entitled to receive such PayPal Shares as record holders of PayPal Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Persons. PayPal agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the PayPal Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the PayPal Shares then held by such holder.

Nothing contained in Sections 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in Section 2.7(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto as not to terminate as of the Effective Time, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Sections 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any members of the eBay Group or the PayPal Group that is specified in Section 2.7(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto as not to terminate as of the Effective Time, or any other Liability specified in Section 2.7(b) as not to terminate as of the Effective Time;

(vi) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against the Parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article IV and Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; or

(vii) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 4.1.

In addition, nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) shall release any member of the eBay Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of PayPal who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the eBay Group on or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, officer or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to such existing obligations, it being understood that, if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a PayPal Liability, PayPal shall indemnify eBay for such Liability (including eBay’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IV.

(d) No Claims. PayPal shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the PayPal Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against eBay or any other member of the eBay Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). eBay shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the eBay Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification against PayPal or any other member of the PayPal Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

-39-

(a) any PayPal Liability;

(b) any failure of PayPal, any other member of the PayPal Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any PayPal Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time;

(d) any breach by PayPal or any other member of the PayPal Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Ancillary Agreements set forth on Schedule 4.2(d), which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained therein);

(e) except to the extent it relates to an eBay Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the PayPal Group by any member of the eBay Group that survives following the Distribution; and

4.3 Indemnification by eBay. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, eBay shall, and shall cause the other members of the eBay Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless PayPal, each member of the PayPal Group and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “PayPal Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the PayPal Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) any eBay Liability;

(b) any failure of eBay, any other member of the eBay Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any eBay Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time;

(d) any breach by eBay or any other member of the eBay Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Ancillary Agreements set forth on Schedule 4.2(d), which shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained therein);

-40-

(e) except to the extent it relates to a PayPal Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the eBay Group by any member of the PayPal Group that survives following the Distribution; and

(f) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements made explicitly in eBay’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement (as amended or supplemented if PayPal shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any other Disclosure Document; it being agreed that the statements set forth on Schedule 4.3(f) shall be the only statements made explicitly in eBay’s name in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document, and all other information contained in the Form 10, the Information Statement or any other Disclosure Document shall be deemed to be information supplied by PayPal.

4.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such indemnifiable Liability. Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) under this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the same Liability, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the liability allocation, indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Accordingly, any provision herein that could have the result of giving any insurer or other Third Party such a “windfall” shall be suspended or amended to the extent necessary to not provide such “windfall.” Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to

-41-

collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnified Party need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If, at or following the date of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the eBay Group or the PayPal Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires). Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including, to the extent set forth in or readily apparent from the notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party, the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Control of Defense. An Indemnifying Party may elect to control the defense of (and unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided, that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee being true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such Damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party-Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in all material respects or that such facts, while true in all material respects, do not form the basis upon which such Third-Party Claim is predicated (e.g., as a result of the allegations made in such Third-Party Claim changing over time) and (ii) such untruth or change provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its

-42-

assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim (giving the reasons therefor) and (C) the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnified Party indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim, which written notice shall specify any reservations or exceptions by the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 4.5(a), then the Indemnified Party that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding an election by an Indemnifying Party to defend a Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 4.5(b), the Indemnified Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of such Third-Party Claim (although the Indemnifying Party may continue to participate but not control such defense) if (I) in its exercise of reasonable business judgment, the Indemnified Party determines that the Indemnifying Party is not defending such Third-Party Claim competently or in good faith, (II) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, (III) the Indemnifying Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, has filed against it or files a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or is declared bankrupt or insolvent or declares that it is bankrupt or insolvent, or (IV) there occurs a change of control of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Allocation of Defense Costs. If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnified Party for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 4.5(a) or the Indemnified Party takes over the defense of any Third Party-Claim pursuant to Section 4.5(b), and the Indemnified Party conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Right to Monitor and Participate. An Indemnified Party that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby or from whom the Indemnified Party has taken over control of defense of the claim pursuant to Section 4.5(b), nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, but the

-43-

fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party or non-controlling Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party has elected to defend the Third-Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the potential Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, and whether or not participating in the defense of a claim, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party (with the reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such cooperation being at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel and local counsel (as appropriate) for all Indemnified Parties.

(e) No Settlement. The Indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages, does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 4.5(a), and the Indemnified Party conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may enter into a reasonable settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party takes over the defense of any Third Party-Claim pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(f) Legal Hold Orders. PayPal shall prepare and circulate a legal hold order (“LHO”) covering relevant categories of documents as promptly as practical following receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 4.5(a) with respect to any Action that PayPal determines in good faith is meritorious and shall promptly notify eBay after such LHO has been circulated. eBay shall prepare and circulate a LHO covering documents in the possession, custody or control of the eBay Group with respect to any Action so notified to PayPal. eBay shall prepare and

-44-

circulate an LHO covering relevant categories of documents as promptly as practical following receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 4.5(a) with respect to any Action that eBay determines in good faith is meritorious and shall promptly notify PayPal after such LHO has been circulated. PayPal shall prepare and circulate a LHO covering documents in the possession, custody or control of the PayPal Group with respect to any Action so notified to eBay.

(g) Reporting. An Indemnifying Party shall provide the Indemnified Party with a monthly written report identifying any Third-Party Claims that such Indemnifying Party has elected to defend pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Actions relating to the Shared Contingent Liabilities and the eBay Specified Actions or the PayPal Specified Actions, as applicable. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall establish a procedure reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to automatically send electronic notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party through the litigation management system or any successor system when any such Third-Party Claim is closed, regardless of whether such Third-Party Claim was decided by settlement, verdict, dismissal or was otherwise disposed of.

4.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Timing of Payments. Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnified Party, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnified Party to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

-45-

(c) Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties. If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e) Substitution. In the event of an Action for which a Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

4.7 Right of Contribution.

(a) Contribution. If any right of indemnification contained in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Allocation of Relative Fault. Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.7: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with the Delayed PayPal Assets or Delayed PayPal Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the eBay Group) or with the ownership, operation or

-46-

activities of the PayPal Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of PayPal and the other members of the PayPal Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of eBay or any other member of the eBay Group; (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with Delayed eBay Assets or Delayed eBay Liabilities (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the PayPal Group) shall be deemed to be the fault of eBay and the other members of the eBay Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of PayPal or any other member of the PayPal Group; (iii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the eBay Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of eBay and the other members of the eBay Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of PayPal or any other member of the PayPal Group; and (iv) (iii) any fault associated with the ownership, operation or activities of the PayPal Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of PayPal and the other members of the PayPal Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of eBay or any other member of the eBay Group.

4.8 Covenant Not to Xxx. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnified Party, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any PayPal Liabilities by PayPal or a member of the PayPal Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any eBay Liabilities by eBay or a member of the eBay Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.

4.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

4.10 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of eBay and PayPal and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any member of its Group of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of the members of its Group.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) eBay and PayPal agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Effective Time. In no event shall eBay, any other member of the eBay Group or any eBay Indemnified Party have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the PayPal Group in the event that any insurance policy or other contract or policy of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the PayPal Group for any reason whatsoever, or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the PayPal Group prior to the Effective Time, eBay will provide PayPal with access to, and PayPal may, upon prior written notice to eBay in accordance with procedures to be mutually agreed upon and documented by the Parties from time to time (which documented procedures shall be binding upon the Parties), make claims under, eBay’s policies or contracts of insurance in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and eBay’s historical policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the PayPal Group prior to the Effective Time; provided, that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

-48-

(i) PayPal shall report any claim to eBay, as promptly as practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with eBay’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by eBay to PayPal in writing);

(ii) PayPal and the members of the PayPal Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse eBay and the members of the eBay Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention (other than any such retention under an eBay Group captive insurance arrangement), fees and expenses incurred by eBay or any members of the eBay Group to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by PayPal or any other members of the PayPal Group under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by PayPal, its employees or third Persons (it being understood that amounts recovered under an eBay Group captive insurance arrangement shall not be deemed to be fees and expenses incurred by eBay or any member of the eBay Group); and

(iii) PayPal shall exclusively bear (and neither eBay nor any members of the eBay Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse PayPal or any member of the PayPal Group for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by PayPal or any member of the PayPal Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b). In the event an insurance policy aggregate is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the PayPal Group, on the one hand, and the eBay Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, if any, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to eBay’s insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective Time). To the extent that the eBay Group or the PayPal Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to eBay’s insurance carrier(s), the other party shall promptly pay the first party an amount so that each Group shall be properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium. Subject to the following sentence, eBay may elect not to reinstate the policy aggregate. In the event that eBay elects not to reinstate the policy aggregate, it shall provide prompt written notice to PayPal, and PayPal may direct eBay in writing to, and eBay shall, in such case, reinstate the policy aggregate; provided, that PayPal shall then be responsible for all reinstatement premiums and other costs associated with such reinstatement.

In the event that any member of the eBay Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time for which such member of the eBay Group is entitled to coverage under PayPal’s insurance policies, the same process pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall apply, substituting “eBay” for “PayPal” and “PayPal” for “eBay.”

-49-

(c) Except as provided in Section 5.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, neither PayPal nor any member of the PayPal Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of eBay or any other member of the eBay Group. At the Effective Time, PayPal shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with PayPal’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to PayPal’s. Such insurance programs may include general liability, commercial auto liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, product liability, professional services liability, property, cargo, employment practices liability, employee dishonesty/crime, directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability.

(d) Neither PayPal nor any member of the PayPal Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of eBay or any member of the eBay Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action (other than the act of making the claim) that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between eBay or any member of the eBay Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by eBay or any member of the eBay Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of eBay or any member of the eBay Group under the applicable insurance policy. eBay and the other members of the eBay Group, in connection with reporting, administering or handling a claim on behalf of PayPal or any member of the PayPal Group under any insurance policy of eBay or any member of the eBay Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid taking any action (other than the act of making the claim) that would be reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between PayPal or any member of the PayPal Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand, if such insurance company is also an insurer of PayPal or any member of the PayPal Group. All payments and reimbursements by PayPal pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within thirty (30) days after PayPal’s receipt of an invoice therefor from eBay. If eBay incurs costs to enforce PayPal’s obligations herein, PayPal agrees to indemnify and hold harmless eBay for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 4.6(b).

(e) eBay shall retain responsibility for and have the exclusive right to control Insurance Administration of its insurance policies and programs and any and all other rights with respect to its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any PayPal Liabilities and/or claims PayPal has made or could make in the future, and no member of the PayPal Group shall (without the prior written consent of eBay) erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with eBay’s insurers with respect to any of eBay’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. PayPal shall cooperate with eBay and share such information as is reasonably necessary to permit eBay to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. Neither eBay nor any of the members of the eBay Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Liability policies of eBay or any member of the eBay Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the PayPal Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

-50-

(f) eBay shall, and shall cause the members of the eBay Group to, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts, at PayPal’s reasonable request (and provided that PayPal complies with the requirements of Section 5.1(b)), to assist PayPal in making claims under the eBay insurance policies described in Section 5.1(b), (ii) notify PayPal within thirty (30) days of any election by eBay to control any claim under an eBay insurance policy or program to the extent such claim relates to a PayPal Asset and/or PayPal Liability and (iii) promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days after eBay’s receipt thereof) pay over to PayPal or the applicable member of the PayPal Group any Insurance Proceeds that are received by eBay or any member of the eBay Group in respect of such claims.

(g) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the eBay Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

(h) PayPal does hereby, for itself and each other member of the PayPal Group, agree that no member of the eBay Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of eBay and the members of the eBay Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

5.2 Directors and Officers Insurance. Prior to the Effective Time, eBay shall obtain and fully pay for a directors and officers liability run-off insurance policy for claims made after the Effective Time covering wrongful acts that have occurred prior to and through the Effective Time and arising out of or relating to PayPal, the other members of the PayPal Group or the PayPal Business (as the PayPal Business exists as of immediately after the Effective Time), with a policy period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, covering (a) any Persons who, as of or at any time prior to the Effective Time, are or have been directors or officers of eBay or any other member of the eBay Group; (b) any Persons who, as of or at any time prior to the Effective Time, are or have been directors or officers of PayPal or the other members of the PayPal Group; and (c) eBay, the other members of the eBay Group, PayPal, the other members of the PayPal Group and the PayPal Business (as the PayPal Business exists as of immediately after the Effective Time). Such directors and officers liability run-off insurance policy shall be consistent in all material respects with the directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by eBay as of the Effective Time (except for the policy period and provisions excluding coverage for wrongful acts occurring after the Effective Time).

5.3 Late Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of such xxxx, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime Rate plus two percent (2%).

-51-

5.4 Inducement. PayPal acknowledges and agrees that eBay’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by PayPal’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including PayPal’s assumption of the PayPal Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and PayPal’s covenants and agreements contained in Article IV.

5.5 Post-Effective Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party.

5.6 Conduct of Certain Intellectual Property Matters. Commencing as of the Effective Time, the Parties will cooperate and coordinate on the conduct of the defense or prosecution of the Joint Proceedings, eBay Proceedings, and PayPal Proceedings as set forth in Schedule 5.6. The provisions of Sections 4.2 through 4.10 hereof shall not apply with respect to any such Joint Proceedings, eBay Proceedings or PayPal Proceedings, which shall be governed by Schedule 5.6.

ARTICLE VI

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Subject to Section 6.9, any other applicable confidentiality obligations, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, each of eBay and PayPal, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of such Party or its Group which the requesting Party or its Group to the extent that (i) such information relates (A) to the PayPal Business, or any PayPal Asset or PayPal Liability, if PayPal is the requesting Party, or (B) to the eBay Business, or any eBay Asset or eBay Liability, if eBay is the requesting Party; (ii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (iii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with any obligation imposed by any Governmental Authority; provided, that if the Party to whom the request has been made determines that, in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Party, any such provision of information could be detrimental to the Party providing the information, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.1 shall not require the Party to whom the request has been made to provide such information if such Party determines that doing so would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Party, reasonably be expected to result in any violation of any Law or agreement or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege; provided, that the Parties shall use commercially

-52-

reasonable efforts to cooperate in seeking to find a way to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids such consequence. The Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of a Party under Section 6.4.

Each Party shall notify the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of any material accounting differences between its Financial Reporting and Proxy Materials and the other Party’s Financial Reporting and Proxy Materials with respect to transactions or activities conducted prior to or at the Effective Time, and the Parties shall subsequently confer and use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with each other in good faith and resolve such differences prior to the filing of the applicable Financial Reporting and Proxy Materials.

6.2 Ownership of Information. The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such information.

-53-

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. Subject to any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, the Party requesting information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information). Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures as provided to the other Party from time to time.

6.4 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts, which shall be no less rigorous than those used for retention of such Party’s own information, to retain all information in their respective possession or control on the Effective Time (including information that is subject to an LHO) in accordance with the policies of eBay as in effect on the Effective Time or such other policies as may be adopted by eBay after the Effective Time (provided, that in the case of PayPal, eBay notifies PayPal of any such change). Except in accordance with its, or its applicable Subsidiaries’, policies and ordinary course practices, no Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any information that would, in accordance with such policies or ordinary course practices, be archived or otherwise filed in a centralized filing system by such party or its applicable Subsidiaries and, without limiting the foregoing, comply with the requirements of any LHO that relates to (x) any Action that is pending as of the Effective Time; or (y) any Action that arises or becomes threatened or reasonably anticipated after the Effective Time as to which such Party or its Subsidiaries has received a notice of the applicable LHO from the other Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, (a) the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern the retention of Tax related records and the exchange of Tax related information, (b) the Employee Matters Agreement shall govern the retention of employment and benefits related records and (c) the Data Sharing Addendum will govern the retention of the records specified therein.

6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a) After the Effective Time, except in the case of an adversarial Action or Dispute between eBay and PayPal or as prohibited by applicable Law, or any members of their respective Groups, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts (which shall not impose undue burden on such Party) to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former and then-current directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its possession, custody or control, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall make available to such Indemnifying Party (without undue burden to such other Party), upon written request, the former and then-current directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its possession, custody or control, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(d) The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses inventors and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).

6.8 Privileged Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time (whether by outside counsel, in-house counsel or other legal professionals) have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the eBay Group and the PayPal Group, and that each of the members of

-55-

the eBay Group and the PayPal Group shall be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the eBay Group or the PayPal Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) eBay shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the eBay Business and not to the PayPal Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the eBay Group or any member of the PayPal Group. eBay shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the eBay Specified Actions or to any eBay Liabilities resulting from any other Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the eBay Group or any member of the PayPal Group; and

(ii) PayPal shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the PayPal Business and not to the eBay Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the PayPal Group or any member of the eBay Group. PayPal shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the PayPal Specified Actions or to any PayPal Liabilities resulting from any other Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the PayPal Group or any member of the eBay Group.

(iii) If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information until such time as it is finally judicially determined that such information is not Privileged Information, unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the eBay Business, solely to the PayPal Business, or to both the eBay Business and the PayPal Business.

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the written consent of the

-56-

other Party. The Parties will enter into common interest or joint defense agreements as deemed necessary to preserve privilege, allow coordination of defenses, and avoid waivers of privilege in connection with any Privileged Information that relates to Shared Contingent Liabilities, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the PayPal Group or any member of the eBay Group.

(d) If any Dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Group regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party and/or any member of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the other Party in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except in good faith to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e) Subject to Section 6.9, in the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between eBay and PayPal, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c); provided, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action or Dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.

(f) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request (or of written notice that it will or has received such subpoena, discovery or other request) that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge or becomes aware that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests (or have received written notice that they will or have received such subpoena, discovery or other requests) that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of (or of written notice that it will or has received) any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have, under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information; provided, that if such Party is prohibited by applicable Law from disclosing the existence of the request, such Party shall provide written notice of such related information for which disclosure is not prohibited by applicable Law and use commercially reasonable efforts to inform the other Party of any related information such Party determines, in its discretion, is necessary or appropriate for the other Party to be informed of to enable the other Party to review the Privileged Information and to assert its rights, under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

-57-

(g) Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of eBay and PayPal set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise. The Parties further agree that (i) the exchange by one Party to the other Party of any Privileged Information that should not have been transferred pursuant to the terms of this Article VI shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such Privileged Information; and (ii) the Party receiving such Privileged Information shall promptly return such Privileged Information to the Party who has the right to assert the privilege or immunity.

(h) In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members of their Group to, use reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.

6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10 and any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Effective Time until the five (5) year anniversary of the Effective Time (other than in the case of any item of Technical Information, for which the obligations in this Section 6.9 will continue until such time as any of the exceptions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 6.9(a) have been satisfied with respect to such item of Technical Information), each of eBay and PayPal, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to eBay’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses that is either (i) in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or (ii) furnished by any such other Party or any member of such Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary information is or was (A) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (B) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary information, or (C) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of the other Party or

-58-

any member of such Party’s Group. If any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any member of its Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b) No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party shall, at its option and as promptly as practicable after receiving a written request from the other Party, either (i) return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or (ii) certify to the other Party that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided, that such Party’s Representatives may retain one (1) copy of such information to the extent required by applicable Law or professional standards, and shall not be required to destroy any such information located in back-up, archival electronic storage).

(c) Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or members of such Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws. Subject to the Data Sharing Addendum and any other Ancillary Agreement, each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its Group and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among the other Party or members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

(d) Residual Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party and the members of such Party’s Group shall be free to use for any purpose the Residual Information resulting from access Representatives of such Party or the members of its Group have had to confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group. The Parties acknowledge and understand that the foregoing does not constitute a license under any patents or copyrights.

6.10 Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at such other Party’s cost and expense, in seeking any appropriate protective order reasonably requested by the other Party. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information will actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. Subject to Section 7.5, either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are PayPal Assets, any Liabilities are PayPal Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) (a “Dispute”) that cannot be resolved by the Transition Committee, shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Initial Notice”), and within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. The negotiations shall be conducted by executives who hold, at a minimum, the title of senior vice president or general counsel and who have authority to settle the Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice or if a Party reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to negotiate as contemplated by the preceding sentences of this Section 7.1, the Dispute shall be submitted to the Escalation Committee.

7.2 Escalation Committee. As of the Effective Time, the Parties shall establish an escalation committee (the “Escalation Committee”) with six (6) members, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer of each of PayPal and eBay, the Chairman of the board of each of PayPal and eBay, a member of the eBay Board who shall be appointed by eBay and a member of the board of directors of PayPal who shall be appointed by PayPal (together with the member of the eBay Board, the “Other Board Members”). Each of eBay and PayPal will use its good faith efforts to avoid replacing the initial Other Board Members for the first two (2) years after the Effective Time. Thereafter, eBay and PayPal will, to the extent practicable, honor the other Party’s reasonable objections to any replacements of Other Board Members. While any person is serving as a member of the Escalation Committee, such person may not designate any substitute or proxy for purposes of attending or voting at an Escalation Committee meeting. The Escalation Committee will meet at least annually and will make a good faith effort to promptly

-60-

(and in any event within forty-five (45) days of the dispute being referred to the Escalation Committee) resolve all Disputes referred to it. Escalation Committee decisions made with the consent of at least four (4) members, including at least one (1) eBay member and at least one (1) PayPal member, will be binding on eBay, PayPal and their respective Group members. If the Escalation Committee does not agree to a resolution of a Dispute within the forty-five (45)-day period following the referral of such Dispute to the Escalation Committee, the Parties may refer the Dispute to mediation in accordance with Section 7.3.

7.3 Non-Binding Mediation. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 7.2 shall, upon the written request of a Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to nonbinding mediation in accordance with the then current JAMS International Mediation Rules (the “Mediation Rules”), except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in (i) San Jose, California or (ii) such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. The Parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by a party of a Mediation Request, then a Party may request (on written notice to the other Party), that JAMS appoint a mediator in accordance with the Mediation Rules. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party, except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 7.4.

7.4 Arbitration; Litigation.

(a) In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator in accordance with Section 7.3, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then, unless the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $250 million or more or the Dispute involves primarily non-monetary relief (in which case such Dispute shall be addressed in accordance with Section 7.4(e)), such Dispute shall, upon the written request of a Party (an “Arbitration Request”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Arbitration Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be held in the same location as the mediation pursuant to Section 7.3. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided by binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.4 will be decided (i) before a sole independent arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $50 million or less; or (ii) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals more than $50 million but less than $250 million.

-61-

(b) The panel of three (3) arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within fifteen (15) days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, each Party will name an arbitrator; and (ii) the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the second of the two (2) arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event that either Party fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then upon written application by either Party, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. In the event that the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the Parties within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request. If the Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator, then upon written application by either party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.

(c) If the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $25 million or less, then each Party shall provide the arbitrator with its respective resolution of the Dispute, including the net amount to be paid or received by such Party, together with the supporting calculations and analyses prepared with respect thereto, and the arbitrator shall select either the resolution of the Dispute as proposed by eBay or by PayPal; provided, that the arbitrator may award only one or the other of the net amounts so submitted. If the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals more than $25 million but less than $250 million, the arbitrator(s) will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any monetary relief which it deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date) and attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable Law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by Law. In no event shall the arbitrator(s) award any relief not specifically requested by the parties or award any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim). Upon selection of the arbitrator(s) following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or court pursuant to Section 7.5, the arbitrator(s) may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the parties will seek modification or rescission of the order entered by the court as necessary to accord with the decision of the arbitrator(s). The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the Parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties shall share equally the administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration.

(d) The initiation of mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

-62-

(e) If the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $250 million or more or if the Dispute involves primarily non-monetary relief, then such Dispute shall not be submitted to arbitration, and either Party may commence litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, any other federal or state court located in the State of Delaware with subject matter jurisdiction).

7.5 Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Sections 7.1 to 7.4 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage and (b) either Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Sections 7.3 and 7.4 if (i) such Party has submitted a Mediation Request or Arbitration Request, as applicable, and the other Party has failed, within the applicable periods set forth in Section 7.3, to agree upon a date for the first mediation session to take place within thirty (30) days after the appointment of such mediator or such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing or (ii) such Party has failed to comply with Section 7.4 in good faith with respect to commencement and engagement in arbitration. In such event, the other Party may commence and prosecute such arbitration unilaterally in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Immediately following the issuance of any preliminary provisional or injunctive relief pursuant to clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Party seeking such relief will consent to the stay of any judicial proceedings pending the resolution of the Dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 7.1 to 7.4.

7.6 Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective members of their Group to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

(c) On or prior to the Effective Time, eBay and PayPal in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of the members of their respective Groups, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by eBay, PayPal or any of the members of their respective Groups, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
