These fees are in addition to PayPal's obligation to reimburse Wells Fargo Bank for dues, interchange and assessments pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Wells Fargo Bank will provide to PayPal within [*] days after the end of each calendar month, a reasonably detailed calculation of the fees payable for such calendar month (a "Fee Calculation Statement"). Wells Fargo Bank is authorized to effect payment to it of the fees as set forth in such Fee Calculation Statement by deducting the amount of such fees from the balance in the PayPal Operating Account at any time after 2:00 P.M., Pacific Time, on the second Business Day after PayPal received the related Fee Calculation Statement. If there are not sufficient funds in the PayPal Operating Account to effect any payment due under this Section 5.1, PayPal shall pay the remaining amount due to Wells Fargo Bank within 3 Business Days of receiving notice of such deficiency. For purpose of calculating transaction fees, each Transaction shall be deemed to occur on the last day of the related Remittance Period.

If Wells Fargo Bank is unable to do so for any reason, then Wells Fargo Bank will be entitled to deduct the amount of DIA from the PayPal Operating Account. Wells Fargo Bank will provide to PayPal, within [*] days after the end of each calendar month, a reasonably

6



detailed calculation of DIAs deducted by Wells Fargo Bank during such calendar month (a "DIA Calculation Statement").

ARTICLE VI
OPERATIONS

        Section 6.1    Processing of Transactions.    

        (a)  PayPal initiates Transactions by delivering to Wells Fargo Bank the Transaction Information for the PayPal Transaction. PayPal acknowledges and agrees that Wells Fargo Bank will control the authorization/approval process for each Transaction processed hereunder and that Wells Fargo Bank shall have the right to reject/decline any Transaction based on (i) card association by-laws and rules and Applicable Laws; and/or (ii) rejection/decline by the [*] systems, or other similar widely adopted basic system wide fraud tools, including any currently existing tools, and any similar tools introduced in the future.

        (b)  Upon a request by Wells Fargo Bank via electronic data file, PayPal will notify both the Customers involved in the Transaction that a credit card dispute or chargeback has arisen.

        Section 6.2    Bank Accounts.    

        (a)  In order to facilitate the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement, at all times during the term of this Agreement two or more bank accounts will be maintained at Wells Fargo Bank as described below.

        (b)  The Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account will be maintained at Wells Fargo Bank's office located at 420 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, or such other office of Wells Fargo Bank as PayPal and Wells Fargo Bank may from time to time agree. The Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account will be a non-interest bearing special account maintained in the name of Wells Fargo Bank. Wells Fargo Bank may establish more than one operating account in order to efficiently carry out the activities described herein (in which case the term "Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account" shall include all such accounts, taken together).

        (c)  The PayPal Operating Account and the PayPal Reserve Account will be maintained at Wells Fargo Bank's office at 420 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, or such other office of Wells Fargo Bank as PayPal and Wells Fargo Bank may from time to time agree. The PayPal Operating Account will be a general purpose transaction account of PayPal as agent for the benefit of its customers. If Wells Fargo Bank from time to time offers different types of transaction accounts to its corporate customers having different functionality, PayPal will have the right to elect among such types in the same manner as any other corporate customer of Wells Fargo Bank. The PayPal Operating Account will be funded with amounts transferred to it from the Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account pursuant to Section 6.2(d) and such other funds as PayPal may from time to time elect to deposit therein. PayPal may withdraw funds from the PayPal Operating Account, by check or otherwise, at any time and for any purpose. The PayPal Reserve Account will be an interest bearing account, the funds of which will be pledged to Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to the Security Agreement, as set forth below. The PayPal Reserve Account will be fully funded via FedWire in accordance with this Agreement by PayPal by the Business Day prior to the first day that Wells Fargo Bank provides Credit Card Processing Services to PayPal under this Agreement. At all times thereafter during the term of this Agreement, PayPal will maintain a balance in the PayPal Reserve Account of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) and through execution of a Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex E pledge all of the funds in the PayPal Reserve Account to Wells Fargo Bank as security. (The parties agree to negotiate in good faith and mutually agree upon the form of Security Agreement and attach such form of Security Agreement as Annex E to this Agreement within ten (10) days after the execution of this Agreement. Wells Fargo Bank will not be obligated to provide Credit Card Payment Processing Services unless and until such

7



Security Agreement has been executed by the parties.) Such required balance amount may be increased by Wells Fargo Bank upon [*] days written notice to PayPal, except that if PayPal terminates or significantly limits its business operations, is liquidated, dissolved, enters into receivership, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business, or if there are any proceedings instituted by or against PayPal in bankruptcy or under any insolvency laws or for reorganization, receivership or dissolution, then Wells Fargo Bank may increase the amount of the required balance immediately upon written notice to PayPal. Any such increase in the amount of the required balance of the PayPal Reserve Account shall be reasonably related to the potential outstanding maximum liability related to the Transactions, and such maximum liability may be assessed based on the relative financial stability of PayPal, both as determined by Wells Fargo Bank in its reasonable discretion. PayPal shall increase the funds in the PayPal Reserve Account to comply with any increase in the required balance via FedWire, and if PayPal does not do so within [*] Business Days after receiving notice of such increase, then Wells Fargo Bank will be entitled to increase the funds in the PayPal Reserve Account to cover such obligation by deductions or offsets to payments otherwise due to PayPal or by debiting any other PayPal accounts wherever, and by whoever, held (except for accounts held by PayPal on behalf of others). The PayPal Operating Account and the PayPal Reserve Account are subject to their own separate terms and conditions, including fees ("PayPal Account Agreements"). PayPal will pay, in connection with the PayPal Operating Account and the PayPal Reserve Account, all normal fees and charges associated with accounts of such type maintained at Wells Fargo Bank, and such fees and payments are unrelated to and completely separate from the amounts due under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will change or affect in any way the terms and conditions related to and the rules governing the PayPal Operating Account and the PayPal Reserve Account. Further, with respect to the operation of the PayPal Operating Accounts and the PayPal Reserve Account, in the event of a conflict between the PayPal Account Agreements and this Agreement, the terms, conditions and rules of the PayPal Account Agreements will prevail. Wells Fargo Bank expressly reserves all of its rights under the PayPal Account Agreements.

        (d)  Wells Fargo Bank shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account, either

the gross Transaction Amount for each Transaction processed by Wells Fargo Bank hereunder, less deductions pursuant to Section 5.2. On each Business Day Wells Fargo Bank will (i) debit the Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account by an amount equal to the aggregate of the Transaction Amounts of the Transactions processed and received by Wells Fargo Bank for which the last day of the relevant Remittance Period occurred on the previous Business Day and as to which such a debit has not previously occurred, less deductions pursuant to Section 5.2, and (ii) credit such amount to the PayPal Operating Account. Wells Fargo Bank shall be entitled to deduct from the amounts debited from the Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account and credited to the PayPal Operating Account amounts due and payable to Wells Fargo Bank under this Agreement. No credits or debits may be made to the Wells Fargo Bank Operating Account except as provided in this Section 6.2(d).

        (e)  During the term of this Agreement, PayPal shall ensure that (i) Wells Fargo Bank is in receipt of a letter authorizing Wells Fargo Bank to effectuate the transfers and debits from the PayPal Operating Account and the PayPal Reserve Account as contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) that such letter continues to be in full force and effect and (iii) that Wells Fargo Bank is in receipt of any other

8



authorization from PayPal with respect to the PayPal Operating Account required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, or by the generally applicable corporate policies and procedures of Wells Fargo Bank.

        (f)    When a Chargeback occurs, Wells Fargo Bank, exercising its authority under such authorization letter, will debit the amount of such Chargeback Losses from the PayPal Operating Account and any applicable fee as described in Annex B will be added to the Fee Calculation Statement provided to PayPal pursuant to Section 5.1. If the PayPal Operating Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay the amount of such Chargeback Losses, then PayPal will pay the amount to Wells Fargo Bank within [*] Business Days.

        Section 6.3    Information    

        (a)  PayPal will transmit or make available to Wells Fargo Bank the PayPal Sourced Information via an electronic transmission from the PayPal System to the WFB Operating System (or as otherwise agreed in writing between PayPal and Wells Fargo Bank). PayPal covenants that PayPal Sourced Information transmitted or made available by PayPal to Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to this Section will be as given by the respective Customer to PayPal, without the introduction by PayPal of errors. PayPal agrees to indemnify Wells Fargo Bank and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates (for purposes of this paragraph, each an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel)("Losses") incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of any error or inaccuracy in any PayPal Sourced Information introduced by PayPal in transmitting such information to Wells Fargo Bank. Wells Fargo Bank will be entitled to rely on the PayPal Sourced Information and instructions received from PayPal in providing the Credit Card Payment Processing Services hereunder.

        (b)  Wells Fargo Bank will transmit or make available to PayPal, in such manner and at such times as PayPal and Wells Fargo Bank shall from time to time agree, Wells Fargo Bank Sourced Information. Wells Fargo Bank agrees to indemnify PayPal and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates (for purposes of this paragraph, each an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel)("Losses") incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of any error or inaccuracy in any Wells Fargo Bank Sourced Information introduced by Wells Fargo Bank in transmitting such information to PayPal.

        (c)  Either party may use Registration Information and Identified Transaction Information (as defined below) for the sole purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement unless such information is required to be used otherwise as a matter of law. For purposes of this Section 6.3(c), "Identified Transaction Information" means information of the following types to the extent it is acquired or developed by Wells Fargo Bank in connection with the conduct of its Credit Card Payment Processing Services business: whether the purchases and sales were consummated; the dates on which such purchases and sales, or related offers, occurred; and the dollar amount of the purchases and sales, or related offers.

        (d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Wells Fargo Bank may use Transaction Information conveyed to it hereunder (i) in connection with the provision of Credit Card Payment Processing Services hereunder or (ii) by including such information in data bases used by Wells Fargo Bank internally, whether for its own account or for the purposes of providing services to its clients; provided however, that (w) such transaction Information may not be used for marketing or solicitation purposes, (x) Wells Fargo Bank will not provide [*], or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of [*] that processes, effects processing or supports the processing of Transactions arising out of transactions between buyers and sellers (hereinafter "[*]") access to or use of such Transaction Information for use in management of [*] fraud losses or any other use, (y) Wells Fargo Bank will not knowingly provide access or use of

9



Transaction Information to any third party entity that, to Wells Fargo Bank's actual knowledge, by virtue of a contract with [*], or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of [*] (hereinafter, "[*]"), processes Transactions between buyers and sellers for the purchase of goods or services on [*] websites, for use in such processing, and (z) except as provided by Sections 6.3(c) and 6.3(e), such information is not disclosed to third-parties outside of Wells Fargo Bank and its Affiliates.

        (e)  Wells Fargo Bank will not disclose any PayPal Sourced Information except for the explicit purpose of authorizing, completing and settling credit card Transactions and resolving any Chargebacks or retrieval requests or similar issues involving Transactions, other than pursuant to a regulatory, legal or government request.

        (f)    Wells Fargo Bank will use proper controls and limit access to PayPal Sourced Information only to relevant service and support staff, and to the extent reasonably practical, will make commercially reasonable efforts to have the Wells Fargo Bank employees who provide support to PayPal under this Agreement not be the same employees who are assigned to provide support to [*] under Wells Fargo Bank's agreement with [*]. PayPal acknowledges that such segregation of employees may not be commercially reasonable or practical.

        (g)  If PayPal requests that Wells Fargo Bank develop any process or technology under this Agreement, then the following procedures will apply:

        (h)  Each party's use hereunder of PayPal Sourced Information or Wells Fargo Bank Sourced Information shall be subject to the constraints of Applicable Law (including as to privacy) and the privacy policies of the each party, except to the extent that PayPal's privacy policy would restrict, limit or impose any additional burden on the use of information to perform Wells Fargo Bank's obligations, or exercise Wells Fargo Bank's rights, under this Agreement.

If such breach is not susceptible to cure, then the First Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the Second Party by not later than 90 days after delivery of the first notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, and such termination shall become effective 90 days from the date of receipt of such notice. If such breach is susceptible to cure and has been cured within 30 days after the delivery of initial notice by the First Party, this Section 8.2 shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such breach. If such breach is susceptible to cure but has not been cured within such 30 day period, then the First Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Second Party within 90 days after the end of such 30-day period, to terminate this Agreement effective 90 days from the date of receipt of such notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that a material breach by Wells Fargo Bank of Section 7.3 of this Agreement will constitute a material breach subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2.

        Section 8.3    Termination by Wells Fargo Bank.    Wells Fargo Bank shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in the event that the Credit Card Payment Processing Services to be provided hereunder cannot be provided in compliance with the applicable credit card association by-laws and rules (based on information in writing from the applicable association, a copy of which will be provided to PayPal) or in compliance with Applicable Laws (after consultation with counsel). Such termination shall take effect 90 days after Wells Fargo Bank delivers written notice to PayPal of such event. In addition, if, for any reason, PayPal fails to implement a proposed change to the PayPal User Agreement pursuant to Section 4.7(b) within the thirty (30) day period provided in Section 4.7(b),

13



Wells Fargo Bank shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice to PayPal.

        Section 8.4    Termination by PayPal.    PayPal shall have the right at its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Wells Fargo Bank if PayPal pays Wells Fargo Bank an additional lump sum fee in consideration of the exercise of its right hereunder, as follows: (a) if such termination occurs within the first six (6) months after the first Transaction is processed by Wells Fargo Bank under this Agreement, then the amount of the additional fee will be [*], and (b) if such termination occurs after such six (6) month period, the amount of the fee will be the present value (based on discount calculated based on the three-month Treasury bill rate at the time of termination) of the average total fees due per calendar month during the preceding six (6) months, multiplied times the calendar months or portions thereof from the date of the termination through the end of the remainder of the original term of the Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1.

        Section 8.5    Effects of Termination by Either Party.    Following termination of this Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank agrees to continue to provide settlement and chargeback services to PayPal in accordance with Article VI of this Agreement and Section 7 of the Service Standards, for all Transactions received by Wells Fargo Bank prior to the effective date of termination. Wells Fargo Bank agrees to continue to furnish to PayPal Chargeback information on all Transactions submitted to Wells Fargo Bank prior to the effective date of termination which result in a Chargeback, until such Chargebacks cease to be received by Wells Fargo Bank, and the information described in Section 4.8 on all Transactions submitted to Wells Fargo Bank prior to the effective date of termination. PayPal shall be obligated to promptly pay processing fees to Wells Fargo Bank for any applicable services following termination, at the rates set forth in Annex B. Upon termination, Wells Fargo Bank shall continue to be authorized to deduct any Chargeback Losses and associated fees from the reserve held in the PayPal Reserve Account. If the PayPal Reserve Account balance is insufficient to cover such obligations, (i) PayPal will remit funds via Fedwire to Wells Fargo Bank within two (2) business days after PayPal is notified, provided that if PayPal fails to remit funds via Fedwire within two (2) business days Wells Fargo Bank will be entitled to cover such obligations by deductions or offsets to payments otherwise due to PayPal or by debiting any other PayPal accounts wherever and by whoever held (except for accounts held by PayPal on behalf of others). PayPal shall be entitled to receive regular statements to support any activity processed through the PayPal Reserve Account and the PayPal Operating Account after termination. Wells Fargo Bank agrees to release a portion of the balance of the reserve on the first day of each calendar month following termination, based on the required balance of the PayPal Reserve Account being reasonably related to the potential outstanding maximum liability related to the Transactions, as determined by Wells Fargo Bank in its reasonable discretion, and the expiration of Chargeback or other liability (including, Chargebacks, Chargeback Losses, fines, fees and penalties and outstanding settlements) for Transactions reasonably attributable to such portion in accordance with the applicable credit card association by-laws and rules; the potential outstanding maximum liability and the expiration of such liability may be assessed based on the relative financial stability of PayPal, as determined by Wells Fargo Bank in its reasonable discretion. PayPal shall be required to maintain the PayPal Operating Account and the PayPal Reserve Account until the end of ten months following the later of termination of this Agreement or the completion of the last Transaction processed by Wells Fargo Bank under this Agreement, and at the end of such period, Wells Fargo shall release the remaining balance of the reserve in full to PayPal.
