Pursuant to the Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Non‑Qualified Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, eBay Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant an option under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of Stock indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice, as applicable. The Option is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

1.1    Grant of Option. Effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to the Participant the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of the number of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice (including all exhibits thereto).

1.2    Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, however, that the price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date.

2.1    Commencement of Exercisability. Subject to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 4.13 and 4.15 of this Agreement, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

2.2    Effect of Termination of Service on Exercisability.

(a)    No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested and exercisable, as further described in Section 4.5(k) below.

(b)    In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason except the Participant's death, Disability or for Cause, the portion of the Option which has become vested and exercisable as of the date of the Participant's Termination of Service may be exercised by the Participant for a period of three (3) months as measured from the date of Termination of Service, as further described in Section 4.5(k) below.

(c)    In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service because of death or Disability (or in the event the Participant dies within three (3) months after Termination of Service other than for Cause or because of Disability), the portion of the Option which has become vested and exercisable as of the date of the Participant's Termination of Service may be exercised by the Participant (or by the

Participant's personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution, in the case of the Participant's death) for a period of one (1) year as measured from the date of Termination of Service. 

(d)    In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service for Cause or for a reason that is comparable to Cause under local law as determined by the Committee at its sole discretion, this Option will expire on the date of the Participant's Termination of Service, as further described in Section 4.5(k) below, and no portion of the Option may be exercised thereafter.  For purposes of this provision, "Cause" shall mean any of the following: the commission of an act of theft, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, material violation of corporate policy, or a breach of fiduciary duty to the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether any Participant has been terminated for Cause, and its decision shall be final and binding.

(e)    Notwithstanding the above provisions, no portion of the Option may be exercised by anyone after the expiration of the Option described in Section 2.3(a) below.

2.3    Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a)    The expiration of seven (7) years from the Grant Date;

(b)    The expiration of three (3) months from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, unless such termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability or for Cause;

(c)    The expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability; or

(d)    The date of the Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause.

3.1    Person Eligible to Exercise. During the Participant’s lifetime, only the Participant may exercise the Option or any portion thereof. After the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3 above, be exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

3.2    Manner of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of the Company (or any third party administrator or other person or entity designated by the Company) of all of the following:

(a)    An exercise notice in a form specified by the Company, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Company;

forms of consideration permitted under Section 3.4 below, as well as payment of any Tax-Related Items as defined in Section 4.4 below;

(c)    Any other written representations as may be required in the Company’s reasonable discretion to evidence compliance with the Securities Act or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to specify all conditions of the manner of exercise, which conditions may vary by country and which may be subject to change from time to time.

3.3    Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be by any of the following, or a combination thereof:

(a)    Cash (or cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee); or

(b)    Delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payment required; provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale (a “cashless exercise” or “same day sale”); or

(c)    With the consent of the Committee, shares of Stock (including shares of Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option) having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payment required.

The Company reserves the right to restrict the available methods of payment to the extent it determines in its sole discretion that such restriction is required to comply with local law or desirable for the administration of the Plan, or to otherwise modify the available methods of payment to the extent permitted under the terms of the Plan.

3.4    Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)    The admission of such shares of Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;

(b)    The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any local, state, federal or foreign law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

(c)    The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency which the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary

or advisable;

(d)    The receipt by the Company of full payment of the Exercise Price for such shares of Stock and full payment of any Tax-Related Items; and

(e)    The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Company may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

3.5    Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Stock shall have been issued by the Company to such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are issued, except as provided in Section 12.1 of the Plan.

4.1    Administration. The Committee or its delegates shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made in good faith by the Committee or its delegates shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee or the Board (or their delegates) shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

4.2    Option Not Transferable. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Plan, this Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

4.3    Adjustments. The Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

4.4    Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax‑related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in shares of Stock to be issued at exercise of the Option.

To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the exercised portion of the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

4.5    Nature of Grant. In accepting the Option, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

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

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

(c)    all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)    the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(f)    the Option and any shares of Stock subject to the Option are not intended to replace any pension rights;

(g)    the future value of the shares of Stock subject to the Option is unknown and cannot

be predicted with certainty;

(h)    if the shares of Stock subject to the Option do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

(i)    if the Participant exercises the Option and acquires shares of Stock, the value of such Stock may increase or decrease, even below the Exercise Price;

(j)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company 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, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims;

(k)    in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to vest in the Option, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to exercise the Option after Termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Option;

(l)    the Option and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not necessarily transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability; and

(m)    if the Participant resides outside the United States of America, he or she further acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
