INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS AGREEMENT

This INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of July 17, 2015, is by and among eBay Inc., a Delaware corporation (“eBay”), eBay International AG, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (“eBay AG”), PayPal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PayPal”), PayPal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PPI”), PayPal Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore (“3PL”), and PayPal Payments Pte. Holdings S.C.S., a company organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“PPLUX”) (collectively, the “Parties” and each, individually, a “Party”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A. Any capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Separation and Distribution Agreement between eBay and PayPal, dated as of June 26, 2015 (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the board of directors of eBay (the “eBay Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of eBay and its shareholders to create a new publicly traded company that will operate the PayPal Business;

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, the eBay Board has determined that it is appropriate and desirable to separate the PayPal Business from the eBay Business (the “Separation”) and, following the Separation, make a distribution, on a pro rata basis, to holders of eBay Shares on the Record Date of all the outstanding PayPal Shares owned by eBay (the “Distribution”);

WHEREAS, to effectuate the Separation and the Distribution, eBay and PayPal have entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement; and

WHEREAS, to facilitate and provide for an orderly transition in connection with the Separation and the Distribution, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to (i) memorialize their mutual agreement as to each Party’s ownership of Technology and Intellectual Property Rights as of the IPMA Effective Time and (ii) set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which each Party will, effective as of the IPMA Effective Time, grant certain rights to the other Parties.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.	OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

1.1

eBay Ownership. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) as between the Parties and their Groups, eBay and the eBay Group own all right, title and interest in and to the eBay IP; and (ii) such ownership includes the exclusive right of eBay and the eBay Group to conduct clearance, prosecute, maintain, protect, enforce and defend eBay’s and the eBay Group’s interest in the eBay IP, including to file any Intellectual Property Rights applications anywhere in the world, to abandon prosecution of such applications, and to discontinue payment of any maintenance or renewal fees with respect to any patents.

1.2

PayPal Ownership. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) as between the Parties and their Groups, PayPal and the PayPal Group own all right, title and interest in and to the PayPal IP; and (ii) such ownership includes the exclusive right of PayPal and the PayPal Group to conduct clearance, prosecute, maintain, protect, enforce and defend PayPal’s and the PayPal Group’s interest in the PayPal IP, including to file any Intellectual Property Rights applications anywhere in the world, to abandon prosecution of such applications, and to discontinue payment of any maintenance or renewal fees with respect to any patents.

1.3	Transfers.

By eBay. If eBay or any eBay Group member assigns, sells, transfers or grants enforcement rights to any Person (such Person, the “eBay IP Transferee”) with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights for which eBay or any eBay Group Member has granted a license or covenant not to sue under this Agreement (an “eBay IP Transfer”), eBay covenants that it, or the applicable eBay Group member, will cause the eBay IP Transferee to execute a written agreement in which the eBay IP Transferee agrees that (i) the eBay IP Transferee will take title or rights to such Intellectual Property Rights subject to this Agreement (and the licenses and covenants not to sue granted by eBay and the eBay Group members hereunder) and (ii) PayPal and the PayPal Group members are express third-party beneficiaries of such agreement. Any purported eBay IP Transfer in violation of this Section 1.3a is null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation does not apply with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights that eBay or any eBay Group member may acquire after the Effective Time (by way of merger, acquisition, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise) other than those Intellectual Property Rights for which eBay expressly grants a covenant not to sue under Section 2.1.

By PayPal. If PayPal or any PayPal Group member assigns, sells, transfers or grants enforcement rights to any Person (such Person, the “PayPal IP Transferee”) with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights for which PayPal or any PayPal Group member has granted a license or covenant not to sue under this Agreement (an “PayPal IP Transfer”), PayPal covenants that it, or the applicable PayPal Group member, will cause the PayPal IP Transferee to execute a written agreement in which the PayPal IP Transferee agrees that (i) the PayPal IP Transferee will take title or rights to such Intellectual Property Rights subject to this Agreement (and the licenses and covenants not to sue granted by PPI and the PayPal Group members hereunder) and (ii) eBay and the eBay Group members are express third-party beneficiaries of such agreement. Any purported PayPal IP Transfer in violation of this Section 1.3b is null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation does not apply with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights that PayPal or any PayPal Group member may acquire after the Effective Time (by way of merger, acquisition, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise) other than those Intellectual Property Rights for which PPI expressly grants a covenant not to sue under Section 2.2.

2.	COVENANTS NOT TO SUE

2.1

By eBay. eBay hereby covenants and agrees that, for the duration of the eBay CNS Period, neither it nor any member of the eBay Group will bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any PayPal Covenantee before any court, arbitrator, mediator, tribunal or administrative agency anywhere in the world alleging infringement of any eBay Patents based on any PayPal Covenantee making, using, importing, offering for sale or selling any PayPal Product, in each case at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the eBay CNS Period.

2.2

By PPI. PPI hereby covenants and agrees that, for the duration of the PayPal CNS Period, neither it nor any member of the PayPal Group will bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any eBay Covenantee before any court, arbitrator, mediator, tribunal or administrative agency anywhere in the world alleging infringement of any PayPal Patents based on any eBay Covenantee making, using, importing, offering for sale or selling any eBay Product, in each case at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the PayPal CNS Period.

(i)

disclose or otherwise grant access to the Source Code for the Licensed PayPal Software to any Person other than to any employee of eBay or any eBay Group member, or to any Affiliate, supplier, contractor or consultant to which eBay or any eBay Group member grants a sublicense under Section 3.1b, in each case on a need-to-know basis solely for purposes authorized under this Agreement;

PayPal acknowledges and agrees that, subject to PayPal’s and any PayPal Group member’s ownership of any Licensed PayPal Software upon which any such derivative work is based (in whole or in part), as between the Parties, eBay will own all property rights, including Intellectual Property Rights, in and to any derivative work of any Licensed PayPal Software developed solely by eBay or any eBay Group member under the license set forth in Section 3.1a (each, an “eBay Derivative Work”). If and to the extent that, as a matter of law in any jurisdiction, either: (i) PayPal or any PayPal Group member retains any right, title and interest in and to any eBay Derivative Work (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Licensed PayPal Software upon which any such eBay Derivative work is based (in whole or in part)), then PayPal and each PayPal Group member hereby assigns, conveys and transfers to eBay any such right, title and interest; or (ii) PayPal or any PayPal Group member cannot assign any such right, title or interest, then such eBay Derivative Work will be deemed to be Licensed PayPal Software for purposes of the license set forth in Section 3.1a.

eBay acknowledges and agrees that, subject to eBay’s and any eBay Group member’s ownership of any Licensed eBay Software upon which any such derivative work is based (in whole or in part), as between the Parties, PPI will own all property rights, including Intellectual Property Rights, in and to any derivative work of any Licensed eBay Software developed solely by PayPal or any PayPal Group member under the license set forth in Section 3.2a (each, an “PayPal Derivative Work”).

Each sublicense must be in writing and must include a provision that identifies PPI (in the case of any sublicense granted by eBay or any eBay Group member under Section 3.1) or eBay (in the case of any sublicense granted by PayPal or any PayPal Group member under Section 3.2) as an intended third-party beneficiary thereof;

A copy of each sublicense must be delivered to PPI (in the case of any sublicense granted by eBay or any eBay Group member under Section 3.1) or eBay (in the case of any sublicense granted by PayPal or any PayPal Group member under Section 3.2) within thirty (30) days after it is executed;

Neither Party nor any member of such Party’s Group will grant any sublicense hereunder to any other Person that exceeds the scope of the licenses granted to such Party and such Party’s Group hereunder. If such a sublicense is granted, it will be null and void.

Each sublicense must be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (i) any and all provisions regarding warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability on the licensing Party’s behalf, (ii) any and all restrictions on the use or exploitation of the licensed Technology contained in this Agreement, (iii) any provisions regarding ownership and (iv) any provisions regarding protection of confidential or proprietary information;

Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted by a Party under this Agreement are reserved by such Party. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to grant, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, a license under a Party’s Intellectual Property Rights that is not expressly set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, nothing contained in this Agreement obligates any Party to license to any other Party any Technology or Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person (a) for which such Party does not have the rights to do so or (b) that, as a result of granting such license, would require the payment of fees or other consideration by such Party or its Affiliates to any other Person.

3.5

Consideration. To the extent any consideration is required with respect to the license set forth in Section 3.1a, the terms relating to the payment of such consideration will be set forth in a separate written agreement to be mutually agreed by the relevant Parties. The Parties intend that the licenses set forth in Section 3.2a qualify as tax-free transfers of property pursuant to sections 351 and/or 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4.	COOPERATION

The Parties will each perform such acts, execute and deliver such information, instruments and documents, and do all such other things as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing or executing any affidavits, providing any testimony, and/or rendering any other assistance, as is necessary or useful for: (a) eBay or any eBay Group member to secure and perfect sole and exclusive ownership of, and obtain registrations in the name of solely eBay or any eBay Group member, for the eBay IP and any part thereof; and (b) PayPal or any PayPal Group member to secure and perfect sole and exclusive ownership of, and obtain registrations in the name of solely PayPal or any PayPal Group member, for the PayPal IP and any part thereof. Such acts may include: (i) execution of prosecution-related documents; (ii) assistance in the registration of Intellectual Property Rights (including providing prosecution files in the possession or under the or control of such Party or members of its Group); and (iii) assistance in the enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (including providing documents and materials in the possession or under the or control of such Party or members of its Group and making its employees available to testify as a witness), provided that the other Party pays or reimburses such Party the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection therewith.

5.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

5.1

Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.5, 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 5 will continue until such time as any of the exceptions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 5.1 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: (a) 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; and (b) not to use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such purposes as are expressly permitted hereunder, 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 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 this Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information will be used only for purposes of exercising its rights under and in accordance with this Agreement.

5.2

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 5.1 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who will be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 5.5. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, each Party will, at its option and as promptly as practicable after receiving a written request from the other Party, either: (a) 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 (b) 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 will not be required to destroy any such information located in back-up, archival electronic storage).

5.3

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: (a) 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 (b) 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

Agreement and any other Ancillary Agreement, each Party agrees that it will hold, protect and use, and will 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.

5.4

Residual Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party and the members of such Party’s Group will 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.

5.5

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 will notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and will 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 provided such Party identifies such information as confidential, and the disclosing Party will 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.
