RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

    THIS RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of September 10, 2001 by and between PayPal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Peter Thiel (the "Purchaser").

    The parties agree as follows:

    1.  Sale of Stock.  The Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase an aggregate of 2,812,500 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, at $0.30 per share (the "Shares"), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $843,750.00.

    2.  Payment of Purchase Price.  The payment of the purchase price shall be paid by cash, check, delivery of a promissory note in the form attached as Exhibit A or any combination of the foregoing. If Purchaser delivers a promissory note as partial or full payment of the purchase price, Purchaser will also deliver a Pledge and Security Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Company.

    3.  Repurchase Option.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary termination of the Purchaser's services to the Company for any or no reason before all of the Shares are released from the Company's Repurchase Option (as defined below), the Company shall, upon the date of such termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company), have an irrevocable, exclusive option, but not the obligation, for a period of 90 days from such date to repurchase all or any portion of the Unreleased Shares (as defined below in Section 4) at such time (the "Repurchase Option") at the original cash purchase price per share (the "Repurchase Price"). The Repurchase Option shall be exercisable by the Company by written notice to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's executor (with a copy to the Escrow Holder, as defined below in Section 8) and shall be exercisable, at the Company's option, (i) by delivery to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's executor with such notice of a check in the amount of the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (ii) by cancellation by the Company of an amount of the Purchaser's indebtedness, if any, to the Company equal to the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals the Repurchase Price times the number of shares to be repurchased (the "Aggregate Repurchase Price"). Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the Aggregate Repurchase Price in any of the ways described above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company. The Repurchase Option set forth in this Section may be assigned by the Company in whole or in part in its sole and unfettered discretion.

    4.  Release of Shares From Repurchase Option.  

    5.  Accelerated Release of Shares from Repurchase Option.  


    6.  Company Call Right.  

2


    7.  Restriction on Transfer.  Except for the escrow described below in Section 8 or transfers to Purchaser's Immediate Family (as defined below), none of the Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any manner until the initial public offering of the Company's common stock. As used herein, "Immediate Family" shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister or stepchild (whether or not adopted). In case of a permitted transfer, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including the Company Call Right and, with respect to any Unreleased Shares, the Repurchase Option), and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section. Any transferee shall acknowledge the same by signing a copy of this Agreement. Any transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws

    8.  Escrow of Shares.  

3


    9.  Investment Representations.  In connection with the purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

    10.  Stock Certificate Legends.  The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legends:

    11.  Market Stand-Off Agreement.  The Purchaser hereby agrees, if so requested by the managing underwriters or the Company in connection with the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, that, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriters, the Purchaser will not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, assign any legal or beneficial interest in or make a distribution of any capital stock of the Company held by or on behalf of the Purchaser or beneficially owned by the Purchaser in accordance with the

4


rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for a period of up to 180 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company's initial public offering.

    12.  Adjustment for Stock Split.  All references to the number of Shares and the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend or other similar change in the Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement.

    13.  Tax Consequences.  The Purchaser has reviewed with the Purchaser's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary income both (i) the difference between the fair market value of the Shares when the Company granted the Purchaser the right to purchase the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares on the date of this Agreement, and (ii) the difference between the amount paid for the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, "restriction" includes the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to its repurchase option. In the event the Company has registered under the Exchange Act, "restriction" with respect to officers, directors and 10% shareholders also means the period after the purchase of the Shares during which such officers, directors and 10% shareholders could be subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased rather than when and as the Company's repurchase option or 16(b) period expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within 30 days from the date of purchase.

    THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PURCHASER'S BEHALF.

    14.  General Provisions.
