Whereas, eBay and PayPal have entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which PayPal shall provide Credit Services, Payment Services and Related Services to eBay and its customers effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement).

Whereas, eBay and PayPal wish to make certain changes to the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Permitted Recipient” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3.2(e).
2.

The data provided by eBay will include country level detail of the Penetration Rate for at least the highest ten Covered Jurisdictions, measured by eBay Addressable GMV. In making its calculations, eBay will utilize foreign exchange rates consistent with those utilized by eBay for its internal planning and budgeting purposes.

3.
Section 7.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following language:

4.
Section 7.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following language:

“(b)     Subject to Section 7.1(c), if a Quarterly Statement indicates that eBay is entitled to receive a payment from PayPal, then PayPal shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, pay to eBay the undisputed amount due pursuant to such Quarterly Statement within sixty (60) days after PayPal’s delivery of such Quarterly Statement. Subject to Section 7.1(c), if the Quarterly Statement indicates that PayPal is entitled to receive a payment from eBay, then eBay shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, pay to PayPal the undisputed amount due pursuant to such Quarterly Statement within sixty (60) days after eBay’s receipt of such Quarterly Statement.”
5.
Section 8.3(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following language:

“(a)     Subject to Section 8.3(c), if any External Audit conducted pursuant to Section 8.2 or any Internal Audit conducted pursuant to Section 15.3 reveals that eBay overpaid any amount due or is owed any amount under this Agreement (except for any portion thereof disputed in good faith), PayPal shall within ten (10) business days after such determination reimburse eBay the amount of such underpayment or pay to eBay the amount owed, in each case plus interest accruing at the Interest Rate from the date of payment by eBay or the date such payment should have been made to eBay to the time of reimbursement or payment by PayPal.

Section 14.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following language:

“14.2 During the Term, except as otherwise expressly contemplated in this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, other than PaisaPay as a payment solution on ebay.in, eBay and its controlled Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in the business of marketing, distributing, promoting or selling their own proprietary payment solution for use (i) on the eBay Covered Properties or (ii) on any Properties in the Covered Jurisdictions that are not eBay Properties; but notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall (the “eBay Restricted Business”).
