WHEREAS, Section 9.1 of the Base Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any Holders of the Securities, may amend or supplement the Indenture to establish the form and terms of any Series of Securities and to amend or supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture in respect of one or more Series of Securities, provided that any such amendment or supplement shall not apply to any outstanding Security of any Series issued prior to the date of such amendment or supplement and entitled to the benefit of such provision.

Section 1.1 Relationship with Base Indenture.

To the extent any provision of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes of any Series conflicts with the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes of such Series, as the case may be, will govern and be controlling.
The Trustee accepts the amendment and supplement of the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture and agrees to execute the trust created by the Base Indenture as hereby amended and supplemented, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to any of the recitals or statements
contained herein, all of which recitals or statements are made solely by the Company, or for or with respect to (1) the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or any of the terms or provisions hereof, (2) the proper authorization hereof by the Company, (3) the due execution hereof by the Company or (4) the consequences (direct or indirect and whether deliberate or inadvertent) of any amendment herein provided for, and the Trustee makes no representation with respect to any such matters.
Section 1.2 Definitions.
(a) The terms Company and Trustee, as used herein, shall have, and other terms, whether or not capitalized, used but not defined herein shall have, the respective meanings set forth in the Base Indenture. The term Base Indenture, as used in this Supplemental Indenture, has the meaning set forth in the recitals hereto.
(b) Section 1.1 of the Base Indenture is hereby supplemented, but solely insofar as relates to the Notes, to add the following definitions, all in appropriate alphabetical sequence:
2013 Notes means the Companys 0.875% Notes due 2013.
2015 Notes means the Companys 1.625% Notes due 2015.
2020 Notes means the Companys 3.250% Notes due 2020.
Notes means the 2013 Notes, the 2015 Notes and the 2020 Notes, each of which constitutes a separate Series of Securities under the Indenture, including, with respect to the Notes of each such Series, the Notes of such Series initially issued on the date of the Supplemental Indenture and any other Notes of such Series issued after such date under this Indenture.
(c) Section 1.1 of the Base Indenture is hereby supplemented to add the following definitions, all in the appropriate alphabetical sequence:
Aggregate Debt means, with respect to the Securities of any Series, the sum of the following, calculated as of the date of determination on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP:
(1) the aggregate amount of then outstanding Debt of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries incurred after the date the Securities of such Series were first issued and secured by Liens not permitted under the first paragraph of Section 4.6 of this Indenture; and
(2) the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries then outstanding in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into by the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries after the date the Securities of such Series were first issued pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.7 of this Indenture.
2
Attributable Debt with regard to a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property means, at the time of determination, the lesser of:
(1) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the Principal Property subject to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction; and
(2) the present value of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under the applicable lease during the remaining contractual term thereof (including any period for which such lease has been extended but subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph), discounted at the rate of interest per annum set forth or implicit in the terms of such lease (or, if not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne (at the time of determination) by the Securities then outstanding under this Indenture) compounded semi-annually (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months). For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that (a) the total net amount of rent required to be paid under, and the term of, the applicable lease shall be determined upon the basis of the contractual terms of such lease and shall not be affected by the fact that all or any portion of such rent may, under GAAP, be characterized as interest or some other amount or that the amount of such rent or the term of such lease, as determined under GAAP, may be different from the amount of rent or the term specified by the contractual terms of such lease and (b) the total net amount of rent shall exclude any amounts required to be paid by the lessee, whether or not designated as rent or additional rent, on account of maintenance, repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges or any amounts required to be paid by such lessee contingent upon the amount of sales or similar contingent amounts. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such total net amount of rent shall be the lesser of (1) the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the present value, calculated as provided above, of the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or (2) the net amount determined assuming no such termination, in each case determined in accordance with the contractual terms of such lease.
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets means, as of any date on which the Company effects a transaction requiring such Consolidated Net Tangible Assets to be measured under this Indenture, the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves) after deducting therefrom (a) all current liabilities, except for current maturities of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases, and (b) all intangible assets (including goodwill), to the extent included in said aggregate amount of assets, all as set forth in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP contained in an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q (in each case as amended, if applicable) filed by the Company with the SEC or if, at such date, the Company shall have ceased filing such
3
reports with the SEC, the Companys then most recent consolidated annual or quarterly balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Non-recourse Obligation means indebtedness or other obligations substantially related to (1) the acquisition of assets not previously owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) the financing of a project involving the development or expansion of properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as to which the obligee with respect to such indebtedness or obligation has no recourse to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or to the Companys or any such Subsidiarys assets other than the assets which were acquired with the proceeds of such transaction or the project financed with the proceeds of such transaction (and the proceeds thereof).
Principal Property means (1) the Companys principal corporate office (whether owned on the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, and including any leasehold interest therein) and (2) each data center, service and support facility or research and development facility (in each case, whether owned on the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired) which is owned by or leased to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and is located within the United States of America, unless, with respect to clause (2), the Board of Directors has determined in good faith that such center or facility is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that any such center or facility (a) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for which the book value (less accumulated depreciation) on the date as of which the determination is being made is equal to or less than 1.0% of the Companys Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of such date, all determined in accordance with GAAP, or (b) leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for which the annual lease obligation on the date as of which the determination is being made is equal to or less than $2.0 million shall in no event be deemed a Principal Property.
Sale and Lease-Back Transaction means any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company of any Principal Property, whether owned on the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, which Principal Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Significant Subsidiary of the Company to such person with the intention of taking back a lease of such Principal Property.
Significant Subsidiary means any Subsidiary of the Company that is a significant subsidiary as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the SEC or any successor to such Rule.

As used in this Article 3, the following terms have the meanings specified below:
Comparable Treasury Issue means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes of any Series, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes of such Series that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes of any Series, (1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date; or (3) if the Quotation Agent obtains only one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation for such redemption date.
Quotation Agent means, for purposes of determining the redemption price of the Notes of any Series to be redeemed on any redemption date, any primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a Primary Treasury Dealer) selected by the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealers means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes of any Series, Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or their respective successors, as the case may be (provided, however, that if any such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, another Primary Treasury Dealer shall be substituted therefor by the Company) and any other Primary Treasury Dealer or Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Quotation Agent after consultation with the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for the Notes of any Series, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. As used in the preceding sentence, the term Business Day means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking
8

If less than all of the Notes of any Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes of such Series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Note equal to an authorized denomination as provided in the next sentence. Securities of any Series or portions thereof shall be redeemable in a minimum of $2,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note redeemed in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed and as otherwise provided in the Indenture.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Any redemption of Notes of any Series shall be made in accordance with the other provisions of the Indenture.

9
Securities of such Series are first issued or thereafter created or acquired), without in any such case effectively providing, substantially concurrently with or prior to the issuance, incurrence, creation, assumption or guarantee of any such secured Debt or the grant of such Lien securing any such secured Debt, that the Securities of such Series (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness or other obligations (including, without limitation, Securities of other Series issued under this Indenture) of or guarantees by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary ranking equally in right of payment with the Securities of such Series or any such guarantee) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the Companys option, prior to) such secured Debt (but only so long as such secured Debt is so secured). The foregoing restriction, however, will not apply to any of the following:
(1) Liens on property, Capital Stock, Debt or other assets of any person existing at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company, provided that such Liens are not incurred in anticipation of such person becoming a Subsidiary of the Company and do not extend to any assets other than those of such person;

(3) Liens in favor of, or which secure Debt owing to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries may, without securing the Securities of such Series or any other Securities issued under this Indenture, issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee Debt secured by any Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph if, immediately after giving effect thereto and, if applicable, to the application of any proceeds therefrom to repay Debt on a pro forma basis, the Companys Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (1) 20% of the Companys Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined as of the date of such issuance, incurrence, creation, assumption or guarantee, and (2) $500 million.

Terms, whether or not capitalized, which are defined in the Indenture referred to below and used in this Note (as defined below) have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. eBay Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company, which term includes its successors under the Indenture), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 3.250% per annum from the date hereof until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an Interest Payment Date), commencing April 15, 2011. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be April 15, 2011. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the per annum rate equal to the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; and it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same per annum rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes due on any Interest Payment Date to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 (each a Record Date), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture (as defined below) with respect to defaulted interest. Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of any Paying Agent or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided that payments of principal of and interest on Notes that are Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Such payments will be in Dollars.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar, and may appoint additional Paying Agents, Service Agents and co-Registrars, without notice to any Holder. In addition, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. INDENTURE. This Note is one of a duly authorized Series of Securities (herein called the Notes) of the Company issued under an indenture (the Base Indenture) dated as of October 28, 2010 between the Company and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 28, 2010 between the Company and the Trustee (the Supplemental Indenture; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and any other supplemental indentures thereto, is hereinafter called the
C-3
Indenture). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note or the Supplemental Indenture conflict with any provision of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Note or the Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, will govern and be controlling. As provided in the Indenture, the Company may, at its option and without the consent of or notice to Holders of the Notes, reopen this Series of Securities and issue additional Notes of this Series as provided in the Indenture.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
Prior to July 15, 2020, the Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable redemption date) discounted to such redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points,
plus, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such redemption date. On and after July 15, 2020, the Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a date fixed for redemption of the Notes will be payable to the Holders of those Notes registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the terms and provisions of the Indenture.
Calculation of the redemption price shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.
If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed in the manner provided in the Indenture.
Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof that are redeemed.
6. NO MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes and the Notes shall not be subject to repurchase by the Company at the option of Holders.
C-4
7. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes may be transferred or exchanged only by surrender thereof to the Registrar or a co-Registrar in compliance with the Indenture and either the reissuance by the Company of the surrendered Note to the new Holder or the issuance by the Company of a new Note to the new Holder. The Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and governmental charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Registrar nor any co-Registrar shall be required to (a) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Notes during the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes selected, called or being called for redemption, except any portion thereof not so selected, called or being called.
8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The Company, the Trustee and each Agent may treat the Holder in whose name a Note is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
9. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended and supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes, and compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including, without limitation, waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended and supplemented as provided in the Indenture, including, without limitation, to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes in any material respect.
10. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately or, solely in the case of an Event of Default relating to specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall ipso facto become due and payable. As provided in the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) any past Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences, subject to exceptions specified in the Indenture, and may rescind and annul any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
11. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Notes and may otherwise deal with the
C-5
Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
12. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
13. AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such State, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
15. LEGAL DEFEASANCE, COVENANT DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. As provided in the Indenture, the Company may, at its option, effect legal defeasance and covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes and, insofar as concerns the Notes, satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture.
16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
17. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
