PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors," our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision.


PayPal, Inc.

        PayPal enables any business or consumer with email to send and receive online payments securely, conveniently and cost-effectively. Our network builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards to create a global payment system. We deliver a product well suited for small businesses, online merchants, individuals and others currently underserved by traditional payment mechanisms.

        We seek to become the global standard for online payments. We offer our account-based system to users in 37 countries including the United States. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the dollar value of payments made through PayPal to business accounts, which we refer to as Gross Merchant Sales or GMS, totaled $2.0 billion, or 87.5% of our total payment volume of $2.3 billion for the same period. Our GMS consists mainly of payments to small businesses. Currently, the majority of these payments relate to sales of goods and services through online auctions. As of September 30, 2001, we had 10.6 million total accounts, including 2.1 million business accounts and 8.5 million personal accounts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 5.3 million of these accounts sent or received a payment that resulted in a fee.

        Our customers choose either PayPal business accounts or PayPal personal accounts. Business accounts pay us transaction fees on all payments they receive and enjoy a variety of additional features. These features include the ability to receive credit card-funded payments, the opportunity to apply for the PayPal ATM/debit card, listing in our PayPal Shops directory and use of our Web Accept feature to accept payments directly from their websites. Personal accounts may receive free payments funded from bank account transfers or existing PayPal balances and may send payments without any cost to them. Personal accounts can upgrade to business accounts at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 622,000 customers upgraded from personal to business accounts.

        We earn revenues primarily from transaction fees on GMS, as well as from international funding and withdrawal fees and from fees on our ATM/debit card. For the three months ended September 30, 2001:

    We generated revenues of $30.2 million. Of this amount, GMS fees comprised 82.8%, and we derived 15.1% of our revenues from non-U.S. customers;

    Our transaction and other fees equaled $29.2 million, or 3.2% of our total payment volume of $924.6 million, compared to our transaction processing expenses of $12.4 million, or 1.3% of total payment volume; and

    Our net loss totaled $32.4 million. Our net loss amounted to $1.2 million, excluding non-cash expenses of $31.2 million related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001:

    We generated revenues of $64.4 million. Of this amount, GMS fees comprised 82.4%, and we derived 13.5% of our revenues from non-U.S. customers;

    Our transaction and other fees equaled $61.4 million, or 2.7% of our total payment volume of $2.3 billion, compared to our transaction processing expenses of $31.9 million, or 1.4% of total payment volume; and

1


    Our net loss totaled $89.3 million. Our net loss amounted to $19.1 million, excluding non-cash expenses of $70.2 million related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation.

        The small business market presents us with a potentially significant opportunity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 22.6 million small businesses in the U.S., those with less than $1.0 million in annual receipts, generate an aggregate of $1.6 trillion in annual sales. In addition, according to The Nilson Report, only 3.1 million merchants in the U.S. currently accept credit cards, leaving a large number of sellers unable to accept traditional electronic payments. By enhancing the existing payment infrastructure, the PayPal product serves the need of these sellers for a secure, convenient and cost-effective online payment system.

        To send a payment, a PayPal account holder enters the email address of the recipient and the payment amount, and selects a funding source—credit card, bank account or PayPal balance. In addition, with our Web Accept feature, merchants can accept PayPal payments directly from their websites. When a consumer who has not yet registered with PayPal visits the website of a merchant that has integrated Web Accept, the consumer can open a PayPal account from the merchant's site in order to make a purchase.

        Payment recipients may use their funds to make payments to others, leave the funds in their PayPal accounts and earn a money market rate of return, or withdraw the funds at any time by requesting a bank account transfer or a check delivered by mail or by using the PayPal ATM/debit card. When a PayPal sender makes an email payment to a recipient who does not yet have a PayPal account, the recipient follows a link in the payment notification email to register with PayPal and gain access to the funds.

        We have achieved our growth through a combination of the "push" nature of email payments to non-registered recipients and the "pull" nature of Web Accept. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our total number of accounts grew by 5.1 million, an average of 18,500 per day, at an average total marketing expense, including promotional bonuses, of $1.05 per new account.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we processed an average of 171,000 payments per day totaling $8.5 million in daily volume. For this period, the average payment amount sent equaled $50.

        To establish PayPal as the online payment standard, we will continue to identify transactions and markets not served adequately by existing payment systems and to develop product features that improve upon those legacy systems. In addition to growing our customer base, our business strategy includes the following:

    Expand small business payment volume by continuing to develop and enhance the product features useful to small business customers;

    Strengthen our position as the payment method of choice on online auctions by adding product features valued by auction participants;

    Increase volume of international payments through development of a multi-currency platform and the addition of features that increase international access to our product;

    Maintain low variable costs, particularly transaction losses, by employing proprietary risk management techniques; and

    Grow PayPal ATM/debit card usage by broadening card distribution to qualified customers.

Summary Risks

        You should consider carefully the following important risks:

    We have a limited operating history. The PayPal product launched in October 1999.

    To date, we have never achieved a profitable quarter. We have accumulated net losses, including non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangibles, of $264.7 million from our inception, March 8, 1999, through September 30, 2001. The non-cash expenses related to amortization of goodwill and other intangibles and amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation amounted to $125.8 million for the same period.

    We operate in a highly competitive industry. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and customer service resources, greater name recognition or a larger base of customers in affiliated businesses.

    We depend on online auction transactions for a significant percentage of our payment volume and we generate a significant portion of our business on eBay, with which we have no contractual relationship and which owns a majority stake in a competing payment service. If our ability to process payments for purchases made on online auction websites, particularly eBay, became impaired, our business would suffer.

        Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" for information on these and other risks related to our business and this offering.


Company Information

        You may contact us at our principal executive offices, 1840 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California, 94303, or by telephone, (650) 251-1100. You may find us on the web at www.paypal.com. We do not incorporate by reference any information contained in our website into this prospectus, and you should not consider information contained in our website as part of this prospectus.

        We have registered the "PayPal" trademark. This prospectus also contains additional trade names, trademarks and service marks of ours and of other companies. We do not intend our use or display of other parties' trademarks, trade names or service marks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of, us by these other parties.

        We use the terms "balance" and "account balance" to refer to funds that our customers hold until they decide to withdraw the funds, transfer the funds to others through PayPal or invest the funds in the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund. We pool these customer funds and, as agent for our customers, we deposit the funds in bank accounts or invest the funds in short-term investment grade securities. By the end of the first quarter of 2002, we will deposit all customer funds not transferred to the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund into bank accounts. We believe that, in handling customer funds, we act solely as an agent and custodian and not as a depositary.

        We use the term "credit cards" to refer, where applicable, to traditional credit cards as well as debit cards participating in the Visa or MasterCard networks.

        We use the term "premier account" on our website to describe fee paying accounts held by individuals. In this prospectus, we refer to premier accounts and business accounts collectively as "business accounts."

        We present operating data, such as payment volume and number of users, only for the PayPal product. To ensure continuity of the information presented, we include data for Confinity, Inc. prior to the merger with X.com Corporation in March 2000.

        For the three months ended December 31, 2001, our net loss totaled $18.5 million. Excluding non-cash expenses of $21.7 million related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, we earned net income of $3.2 million.

        During the three months ended December 31, 2001, our total accounts grew by an average of 24,400 per day, to 12.8 million accounts at December 31, 2001. Of these accounts, 1.0 million were international accounts, an increase of 0.9 million accounts from December 31, 2000, and 2.6 million were business accounts, an increase of 1.8 million from December 31, 2000.

        Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2001 totaled $40.4 million, an increase of 357.4% over the comparable period in 2000. We attribute this increase primarily to the following:

    A 219.0% increase in GMS from $335.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000 to $1,070.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001;

    An increase in the average price charged on GMS payments to 3.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from 2.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Fees on GMS increased to $33.9 million from $7.1 million;

    Our introduction of international access in November 2000. Revenue from fees assessed on international funding and withdrawals increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000 to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. For the three months ended December 31, 2001, international funding and withdrawal fees plus GMS fees and other fees collected from senders or recipients that reside outside the U.S. accounted for 14.0% of our total revenues; and

    The launch of the PayPal ATM/debit card in January 2001. Debit card fees, net of cash-back bonuses, amounted to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This represents a weighted average fee, net of cash-back bonuses, of 0.9% on total debit card volume for the same period.

        Transaction processing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2001 increased by $6.6 million over the comparable period in 2000, or 73.0%. We attribute this increase primarily to the growth of our aggregate dollar payment volume by 121.8%, from $543.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000 to $1,205.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. As a percentage of aggregate dollar payment volume, total transaction processing expenses decreased from 1.7% to 1.3%. We attribute this decrease mainly to the decrease in the percentage of aggregate dollar payment volume funded by credit cards from 56.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2000 to 52.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

        Provision for transaction losses increased by $1.8 million, or 52.9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2001 over the comparable period in 2000. We attribute this increase to the growth of our total payment volume for these periods. As a percentage of aggregate dollar payment volume, provision for transaction losses decreased to 0.42% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from 0.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. This decrease resulted from of our continued efforts to control transaction-related losses.

        Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2001 decreased by $23.4 million from our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2000, or a 55.8% improvement. We attribute this improvement to:

    Increased dollar payment volume;

    The decrease in credit card funded payments and transaction processing expenses as a percentage of aggregate dollar payment volume, as described above;

    Elimination of service agreement costs and termination expenses of $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000, as a result of our termination of the Internet banking services agreement in December 2000; and

    A decrease in other operating expenses, such as selling, general and administrative, product development and customer service and operations, to 1.4% as a percentage of total payment volume for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from 2.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. We attribute this decrease to improved efficiency in our operations and reduced promotional bonus expenses.

RISK FACTORS

        You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.


Risks Related To Our Business

We might not implement successfully strategies to increase adoption of our electronic payment methods which would limit our growth and cause our stock price to decline.

        Our future profitability will depend, in part, on our ability to implement successfully our strategy to increase adoption of our online payment methods. We cannot assure you that the relatively new market for online payment mechanisms will remain viable. We expect to invest substantial amounts to:

    Drive consumer and merchant awareness of electronic payments;

    Encourage consumers and merchants to sign up for and use our electronic payment product;

    Enhance our infrastructure to handle seamless processing of transactions;

    Continue to develop state of the art, easy-to-use technology;

    Increase the number of users who collect and pay electronically; and

    Diversify our customer base.

        Our investment in these programs will affect adversely our short-term profitability. Additionally, we may fail to implement successfully these programs or to increase substantially adoption of our electronic payment method by customers who pay for the service. This would impact revenues adversely, and cause our business to suffer.

We depend on online auction transactions for a significant percentage of our payment volume. We generate a significant portion of our business on eBay, which has established a competing payment system. If our ability to process payments for online auctions, particularly eBay, is impaired, our financial results and growth prospects would be affected significantly and negatively.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our customers identified to us approximately 68.3% of the dollar volume of all payments made through the PayPal system as settlements from purchases made at online auction websites, particularly eBay. We rely on these transactions for a substantial portion of our customer base and our payment volume. We do not have any contractual relationship with eBay, and eBay owns a majority stake in a competing payment service, eBay Payments, formerly known as Billpoint. eBay could choose to restrict or prohibit its sellers from advertising PayPal for payments or compel sellers to use eBay Payments on eBay's site. Whether or not eBay imposes such restrictions, we expect eBay to continue to develop and promote its own payment service and to integrate that service tightly into its site in order to foster the use of its payment service. If our ability to process payments for purchases made on online auction websites, particularly eBay, became impaired, or if these online auction sites took additional steps to integrate their payment services, our business would suffer.

We face strong competitors and our market evolves rapidly. If we do not compete effectively, the demand for our product may decline, and our business would suffer.

        The market for our product is emerging, intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. We compete with existing payment methods and other companies, including, among others:

    eBay Payments, formerly known as Billpoint, a joint venture between eBay and Wells Fargo;

    Yahoo! PayDirect offered by Yahoo!;

    c2it offered by Citigroup;

    email payment services offered by the U.S. Postal Service through CheckFree; and

    MoneyZap and BidPay offered by Western Union.

        Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, greater name recognition or a larger base of customers in affiliated businesses than we have. For example, Citigroup's c2it has existing arrangements with AOL Time Warner and Microsoft. c2it could use these arrangements to market directly its competing payment product to the customers of AOL Time Warner and Microsoft, which could result in c2it gaining substantial market share in a short period of time. Our competitors may respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements faster and more effectively than we can. They may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products and services than we can, and they may offer lower prices. These competitors have offered, and may continue to offer, their services for free in order to gain market share and we may be forced to lower our prices in response. Competing services tied to established banks and other financial institutions may offer greater liquidity and engender greater consumer confidence in the safety and efficacy of their services than we do. If these competitors acquired significant market share, this could result in our losing market share, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

        We also compete with providers of traditional payment methods, particularly credit cards, checks, money orders and Automated Clearing House, or ACH, transactions. Associations of traditional financial institutions such as Visa, MasterCard and the National Automated Clearing House Association, or NACHA, generally set the features of these payment methods. The associations have initiated programs to enhance the usability of these payment methods for online transactions and could lower fees charged to online merchants. Either of these changes could make it more difficult for us to retain and attract customers.

We have a limited operating history, are not currently profitable and may not become profitable. If we never become profitable, our stock price would decline.

        PayPal, Inc. resulted from a merger between Confinity, Inc., incorporated in December 1998, and X.com Corporation, incorporated in March 1999. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history. The revenue and income potential of our business and the market for online payments through non-traditional products such as ours have not been proven. We will encounter risks and difficulties commonly faced by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets.

        We have not reached profitability to date. We have accumulated net losses of $264.7 million from our inception, March 8, 1999, through September 30, 2001, and net losses of $90.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

        We intend to continue to make significant investments in our systems, infrastructure and customer service operations. As a result, we anticipate having a net loss from operations in fiscal 2001 and may

9



not be able to reach or sustain profitability in the future. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability will depend on, among other things, market acceptance of our product.

We face significant risks of loss due to fraud and disputes between senders and recipients. If we are unable to deal effectively with losses from fraudulent transactions, our losses from fraud would increase, and our business would be harmed.

        We face significant risks of loss due to fraud and disputes between senders and recipients, including:

    unauthorized use of credit card and bank account information and identity theft;

    merchant fraud and other disputes over the quality of goods and services;

    breaches of system security;

    employee fraud; and

    use of our system for illegal or improper purposes.

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, our provision for transaction losses totaled $11.0 million, representing 0.87% of our total payment volume, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, $9.7 million, representing 0.42% of our total payment volume. Our provision for transaction losses may increase in future quarters following our increase from $250 to $1,000 in June 2001 in the initial sending limit for senders who have not yet verified a bank account with us.

        When a sender pays a merchant for goods or services through PayPal using a credit card and the cardholder disputes the charge, the amount of the disputed item gets charged back to us and the credit card associations may levy fees against us. Charge-backs may arise from the unauthorized use of a cardholder's card number or from a cardholder's claim that a merchant failed to perform. Charge-backs result not only in our loss of fees earned with respect to the payment, but also leave us liable for the entire underlying transaction amount. If our charge-back rate becomes excessive, credit card associations also can require us to pay fines. Earlier this year, as a result of high charge-back rates in the second half of 2000, MasterCard determined that we violated its operating rules by having excessive charge-backs and fined us. Although we resolved this situation to MasterCard's satisfaction and have reduced our charge-back rate, we cannot assure you that new causes of excessive charge-backs will not arise in the future.

        We have taken measures to detect and reduce the risk of fraud, but we cannot assure you of these measures' effectiveness. If these measures do not succeed, our business will suffer.

            Unauthorized use of credit cards and bank accounts could expose us to substantial losses. If we are unable to detect and prevent unauthorized use of cards and bank accounts, our business would suffer.

        The highly automated nature of, and liquidity offered by, our payment product makes us an attractive target for fraud. In configuring our product, we face an inherent trade-off between customer convenience and security. Identity thieves and those committing fraud using stolen credit card or bank account numbers, often in bulk and in conjunction with automated mechanisms of online communication, potentially can steal large amounts of money from businesses such as ours. We believe that several of our competitors in the electronic payments business have gone out of business or significantly restricted their businesses largely due to losses from this type of fraud. We expect that technically knowledgeable criminals will continue to attempt to circumvent our anti-fraud systems. Our gross amount of charge-backs, before reversals and internal recoveries, from unauthorized use of credit cards for transactions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2000 totaled $8.9 million. During the four months between July and October 2000, we experienced a significant fraud episode and, as a result, we incurred gross losses due to unauthorized charge-backs totaling $5.7 million. This

10


amount represented 64.0% of total charge-backs due to unauthorized transactions for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the amount of losses with respect to unauthorized use of bank accounts totaled $0.3 million. The gross amount of charge-backs received through September 30, 2001 with respect to unauthorized use of credit cards for transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $3.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the amount of our losses with respect to unauthorized use of bank accounts totaled $0.9 million.

            We incur charge-backs and other losses from merchant fraud, payment disputes and insufficient funds, and our liability from these items could have a material adverse effect on our business and result in our losing the right to accept credit cards for payment. If we are prohibited from accepting credit cards for payment, our ability to compete could be impaired and our business would suffer.

        We incur substantial losses from merchant fraud, including claims from customers that merchants have not performed, that their goods or services do not match the merchant's description or that the customer did not authorize the purchase. We also incur losses from erroneous transmissions and from customers who have closed bank accounts or have insufficient funds in them to satisfy payments. Our merchant-related charge-backs totaled $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The gross amount of charge-backs received through September 30, 2001 with respect to merchant-related disputes for transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $5.8 million. Our liability for such items could have a material adverse effect on our business, and if they become excessive, could result in our losing the right to accept credit cards for payment.

            Security and privacy breaches in our electronic transactions may expose us to additional liability and result in the loss of customers, either of which events could harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.

        Any inability on our part to protect the security and privacy of our electronic transactions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability. A security or privacy breach could:

    expose us to additional liability;

    increase our expenses relating to resolution of these breaches; and

    deter customers from using our product.

        We cannot assure you that our use of applications designed for data security will effectively counter evolving security risks or address the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers. Any failures in our security and privacy measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

            We could incur substantial losses from employee fraud and, as a result, our business would suffer.

        The large volume of payments that we handle for our customers makes us vulnerable to employee fraud or other internal security breaches. We cannot assure you that our internal security systems will prevent material losses from employee fraud.

            Our payment system might be used for illegal or improper purposes, which could expose us to additional liability and harm our business.

        Despite measures we have taken to detect and prevent identify theft, unauthorized uses of credit cards and similar misconduct, our payment system remains susceptible to potentially illegal or improper uses. These may include illegal online gaming, fraudulent sales of goods or services, illicit sales of prescription medications or controlled substances, software and other intellectual property piracy, money laundering, bank fraud, child pornography trafficking, prohibited sales of alcoholic beverages

11


and tobacco products and online securities fraud. Despite measures we have taken to detect and lessen the risk of this kind of conduct, we cannot assure you that these measures will succeed. Our business could suffer if customers use our system for illegal or improper purposes.

Our status under state, federal and international financial services regulation is unclear. Violation of any present or future regulation could expose us to substantial liability, force us to change our business practices or force us to cease offering our current product.

        We operate in an industry subject to government regulation. We currently are subject to some states' money transmitter regulations, to federal regulations in our role as transfer agent and investment adviser to the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund and to federal electronic fund transfer and money laundering regulations. In the future, we might be subjected to:

    state or federal banking regulations;

    additional states' money transmitter regulations and federal money laundering regulations;

    international banking or financial services regulations or laws governing other regulated industries; or

    U.S. and international regulation of Internet transactions.

        If we are found to be in violation of any current or future regulations, we could be:

    exposed to financial liability, including substantial fines which could be imposed on a per transaction basis and disgorgement of our profits;

    forced to change our business practices; or

    forced to cease doing business altogether or with the residents of one or more states or countries.

            If we were found subject to or in violation of any laws or regulations governing banks, money transmitters or electronic fund transfers, we could be subject to liability and forced to change our business practices.

        We believe the licensing requirements of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board or other federal or state agencies that regulate or monitor banks or other types of providers of electronic commerce services do not apply to us, except for certain money transmitter licenses mentioned below. One or more states may conclude that, under its or their statutes, we are engaged in an unauthorized banking business. We have received written communications from regulatory authorities in California, New York, Idaho and Louisiana expressing the view that our service, as it was then structured, constituted or might constitute an unauthorized banking business. We have taken steps to address these states' concerns, but cannot provide assurances that these steps will be effective in any of these states. If we are found to be engaged in an unauthorized banking business, we might be subject to monetary penalties and adverse publicity and might be required to cease doing business with residents of those states. A number of states have enacted legislation regulating check sellers, money transmitters or service providers to banks, and we have applied for, or are in the process of applying for, licenses under this legislation in particular jurisdictions. To date, we have obtained licenses in two states. As a licensed money transmitter, we are subject to bonding requirements, restrictions on our investment of customer funds, reporting requirements and inspection by state regulatory agencies. If our pending applications were denied, or if we were found to be subject to and in violation of any banking or money services laws or regulations, we also could be subject to liability or forced to cease doing business with residents of certain states or to change our business practices. Even if we are not forced to change our business practices, we could be required to obtain licenses or regulatory approvals that could impose a substantial cost on us.

12


        Although there have been no definitive interpretations to date, we have assumed that our product is subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E of the Federal Reserve Board. As a result, among other things, we must provide advance disclosure of changes to our product, follow specified error resolution procedures and absorb losses from transactions not authorized by the consumer. In addition, we are subject to the financial privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and related regulations. As a result, some customer financial information that we receive is subject to limitations on reuse and disclosure under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and related regulations. Additionally, pending legislation at the state and federal levels may restrict further our information gathering and disclosure practices. Existing and potential future privacy laws may limit our ability to develop new products and services that make use of data gathered through our product. The provisions of these laws and related regulations are complicated, and we do not have extensive experience in complying with these laws and related regulations. Even technical violations of these laws can result in penalties of up to $1,000 assessed for each non-compliant transaction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we processed approximately 171,000 transactions per day, and any violations could expose us to significant liability.

            We are subject to laws and regulations on money laundering and other illegal activities that could have a material adverse impact on our business and could subject us to civil and criminal liability.

        We are subject to money laundering laws that prohibit, among other things, our involvement in transferring the proceeds of criminal activities. We are subject to regulations that will require us to register with the Department of Treasury and to report suspicious activities involving transactions of $2,000 or more. The interpretation of suspicious activities in this context is uncertain. These regulations could impose significant costs on us or make it more difficult for new customers to join our network. We could be required to learn more about our customers before opening an account, or to monitor our customers' activities more closely. These requirements could raise our costs significantly or reduce the attractiveness of our product. On October 26, 2001 President Bush signed into law the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001. This Act, among other things, may require us to revise our anti-money laundering program and the procedures we take to verify the identity of our customers, and to monitor more closely international transactions. Because the Act is new, few implementing regulations have been passed and the interpretation and applicability of the Act to our business is uncertain. Future regulations under this Act may impose substantial burdens on our business. Failure to comply with this Act or other applicable state and federal money laundering laws could result in significant criminal and civil penalties and forfeiture of significant assets. Even if we comply with these laws, federal and state law enforcement agencies could seize customer funds that are proceeds of unlawful activity, which could result in adverse publicity for us and affect our business adversely. Some online casinos use our product to accept and make payments. If these casinos are operating illegally, which is uncertain, we may be subject to civil or criminal prosecution. Finally, we also are subject to regulations requiring us to keep detailed records on transfers of $3,000 or more.

            Our status under banking or financial services laws or other laws in countries outside the U.S. is unclear. The cost of obtaining any required licenses or regulatory approvals in these countries could affect our future profitability.

        We offer our product to customers with credit cards in 36 countries outside the U.S. In eleven countries outside the U.S.—Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain and Singapore—customers can withdraw funds to local bank accounts. The status of our product as a bank, regulated financial institution or other regulated business in these countries is unclear. If we were found to be subject to and in violation of any foreign laws or regulations, we could be subject to liability, forced to change our business practices or forced to suspend operations in one or more countries. Alternatively, we could be required to obtain licenses or regulatory approvals that could impose a substantial cost on us.

13


            We are subject to U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet, the impact of which is difficult to predict. We could be exposed to significant liabilities and expenses if we are required to comply with new or additional regulations, and as a result, our business could suffer.

        There are currently few laws or regulations that apply specifically to the sale of goods and services on the Internet. The application to us of existing laws and regulations relating to issues such as banking, currency exchange, online gaming, pricing, taxation, quality of services, electronic contracting, consumer protection, privacy, and intellectual property ownership and infringement is unclear. In addition, we may become subject to new laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet or our activities. Any existing or new legislation applicable to us could expose us to substantial liability, including significant expenses necessary to comply with these laws and regulations, and reduce use of the Internet on which we depend.

        In 1998, the U.S. government enacted a three-year moratorium prohibiting states and local governments from imposing new taxes on Internet access or electronic commerce transactions. This moratorium has been extended until November 1, 2003. After that date, unless it is renewed, states and local governments may levy additional taxes on Internet access and electronic commerce transactions. An increase in the taxation of electronic commerce transactions may make the Internet less attractive for consumers and businesses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our financial success will remain highly sensitive to changes in the rate at which our customers fund payments using credit cards rather than bank account transfers or existing PayPal account balances. Our profitability could be harmed if the rate at which customers fund using credit cards goes up.

        We pay significant transaction fees when senders fund payment transactions using credit cards, nominal fees when customers fund payment transactions by electronic transfer of funds from bank accounts and no fees when customers fund payment transactions from an existing PayPal account balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, senders funded 51.1% of our payment volume using credit cards. Senders may resist funding payments by electronic transfer from bank accounts because of the greater protection offered by credit cards, including the ability to dispute and reverse merchant charges, because of frequent flier miles or other incentives offered by credit cards or because of generalized fears regarding privacy or loss of control in surrendering bank account information to a third party.

We rely on financial institutions, including several current or potential competitors, to process our payment transactions. Should any of these institutions decide to stop processing our payment transactions, our business could suffer.

        Because we are not a bank, we cannot belong to and directly access the credit card associations or the ACH payment network. As a result, we must rely on banks or their independent service operators to process our transactions. We currently use a subsidiary of Wells Fargo to process our ACH transactions, and Wells Fargo partly owns our competitor, eBay Payments, formerly known as Billpoint. A joint venture involving First Data currently processes our credit card transactions, and First Data controls our competitor Western Union. If we could not obtain these processing services on acceptable terms from these sources or elsewhere, and if we could not switch to another processor quickly and smoothly, our business could suffer materially.

Changes to card association rules and practices, or excessive charge-backs, could result in a termination of our ability to accept credit cards. If we are unable to accept credit cards, our competitive position would be damaged seriously.

        As a merchant of record, we must comply with the operating rules of the Visa and MasterCard credit card associations and NACHA. The associations' member banks set these rules. Some of those

14




banks compete with us. The member banks could adopt operating rules with which we might find it difficult or even impossible to comply. We might even lose our ability to gain access to the credit card associations or NACHA. In late 2000, MasterCard indicated it would terminate PayPal as a merchant if we did not change some of our practices and procedures immediately. We had a series of meetings with MasterCard and have made changes to our system that we believe have resolved MasterCard's concerns, but we have not received confirmation from MasterCard that these concerns are fully resolved. In 2001, Visa also indicated that some of our practices violated its operating rules, and we implemented changes in response. On January 25, 2002, we received correspondence through our credit card processor that three issues remain unresolved, and in connection with this, Visa assessed a fine of $30,000. These issues relate to our charging and immediately rebating international membership fees, charging fees for foreign credit card funded payments, and not seeking on a transaction by transaction basis affirmative authorization for charging a Visa account when a user's ACH transfer fails. Visa has not threatened to suspend, terminate or otherwise limit or restrict our ability to accept Visa, except to the extent that we may be required to change our current practices to resolve these three outstanding issues. However, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover could take positions in the future that jeopardize our ability to accept credit cards or limit the countries in which we can accept credit cards.

        Furthermore, in cases of fraud or disputes between senders and recipients, we face charge-backs when cardholders dispute items for which they have been billed. If our charge-backs become excessive, the credit card associations could fine us or terminate our ability to accept credit cards for payments. If we were unable to accept credit cards our competitive position would be seriously damaged.

Increases in credit card processing fees could increase our costs, affect our profitability, or otherwise limit our operations.

        From time to time, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover increase the interchange fees that they charge for each transaction using their cards. Our credit card processors have the right to pass any increases in interchange fees on to us. Any such increased fees could increase our operating costs and reduce our profit margins. Furthermore, our credit card processors require us to pledge cash as collateral with respect to our acceptance of Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Customer complaints or negative publicity could affect use of our product adversely and, as a result, our business could suffer.

        Customer complaints or negative publicity about our customer service could diminish severely consumer confidence in and use of our product. Breaches of our customers' privacy and our security measures could have the same effect. Measures we sometimes take to combat risks of fraud and breaches of privacy and security, such as freezing customer funds, can damage relations with our customers. These measures heighten the need for prompt and accurate customer service to resolve irregularities and disputes. We received negative media coverage in the second half of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, as well as public criticism from the Better Business Bureau, regarding customer disputes. Effective customer service requires significant personnel expense, and this expense, if not managed properly, could impact our profitability significantly. The number of customer service representatives we employed or contracted increased from 234 as of December 31, 2000 to 418 as of December 31, 2001. Any inability by us to manage or train our customer service representatives properly could compromise our ability to handle customer complaints effectively. If we do not handle customer complaints effectively, our reputation may suffer and we may lose our customers' confidence.

15


We have limited experience in managing and accounting accurately for large amounts of customer funds. Our failure to manage these funds properly would harm our business.

        Our ability to manage and account accurately for customer funds requires a high level of internal controls. We have neither an established operating history nor proven management experience in maintaining, over a long term, these internal controls. As our business continues to grow, we must strengthen our internal controls accordingly. Our success requires significant public confidence in our ability to handle large and growing transaction volumes and amounts of customer funds. Any failure to maintain necessary controls or to manage accurately customer funds could diminish customer use of our product severely.

We may experience breakdowns in our payment processing system that could damage customer relations and expose us to liability, which could affect adversely our ability to become profitable.

        A system outage or data loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To operate our business successfully, we must protect our payment processing and other systems from interruption by events beyond our control. Events that could cause system interruptions include:

    fire;

    earthquake;

    terrorist attacks;

    natural disasters;

    computer viruses;

    unauthorized entry;

    telecommunications failure;

    computer denial of service attacks; and

    power loss and California rolling blackouts.

        We depend on two third parties for co-location of our data servers and rely upon these third parties for the physical security of our servers. Our servers currently reside in facilities in San Jose and Santa Clara, California. Currently we are not able to switch instantly to another back-up site in the event of failure of the main server site. This means that an outage at one facility could result in our system being unavailable for at least several hours. This downtime could result in increased costs and lost revenues which would be detrimental to our business. Our secondary Internet hosting provider, Exodus, recently filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Subject to court approval, Britain's Cable and Wireless plc has agreed to purchase Exodus's data center assets. We cannot predict the effect this may have on its ability to continue to provide reliable service.

        Our infrastructure could prove unable to handle a larger volume of customer transactions. Any failure to accommodate transaction growth could impair customer satisfaction, lead to a loss of customers, impair our ability to add customers or increase our costs, all of which would harm our business.

        Because our customers may use our products for critical transactions, any errors, defects or other infrastructure problems could result in damage to our customers' businesses. These customers could seek significant compensation from us for their losses. Even if unsuccessful, this type of claim likely would be time consuming and costly for us to address.

16



We rely on our customers for distribution of our product, and this method of distribution may not meet our goals. If our customers stop using our product, our business would suffer.

        We do not expect to spend significant amounts on traditional sales and marketing activities, such as television and radio advertising, and we rely heavily instead on distribution of our product by our customers themselves. Because of the rapidly evolving nature of electronic commerce, we cannot guarantee that our method of distribution will achieve our goals or that we will develop alternative distribution channels. In addition, because we rely primarily on our customers for product distribution, any disruption in our customer service or harm to our reputation could a have material adverse effect on our ability to distribute our product and expand our customer base.

Our inability to manage growth could affect our business adversely and harm our ability to become profitable.

        Our revenues have grown from $5.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, to $64.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and we intend to grow our business significantly. To support our growth plans, we may need to expand our existing management, operational, financial and human resources, customer service and management information systems and controls. We may be unable to expand these systems and to manage our growth successfully, and this inability would adversely affect our business.

Our quarterly operating results fluctuate and may not predict our future performance accurately. Variability in our future performance could cause our stock price to fluctuate and decline.

        Although we have grown quickly, our quarterly results will fluctuate in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

    changes in our costs, including interchange and transaction fees charged by credit card associations, and our transaction losses;

    changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

    relative rates of acquisition of new customers;

    seasonal patterns, including increases during the holiday season;

    delays in the introduction of new or enhanced services, software and related products by us or our competitors or market acceptance of these products and services; and

    other changes in operating expenses, personnel and general economic conditions.

        As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on them as an indication of our future performance.

Loss of principal of customer funds in the PayPal system or in the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund may affect adversely customer perceptions and payment volumes. A reduction in payment volume could affect our ability to become profitable.

        We reinvest customer funds in the PayPal system in short term money market and money market equivalent securities. Although we invest in high grade securities, the securities may lose value. Customers who opt to invest their money in the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund may lose the original principal value of their initial investment. If these losses occur, customers' perceptions regarding the safety and handling of customer funds in the PayPal system may result in decreased participation in the Fund and decreased payment volume within our system.

17



We may not protect our proprietary technology effectively, which would allow competitors to duplicate our products. This would make it more difficult for us to compete with them.

        Our success and ability to compete in our markets depend, in part, upon our proprietary technology. We rely primarily on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws to protect our technology including the source code for our proprietary software, and documentation and other proprietary information. While we have filed five patent applications, we have not been granted any patents for features of our electronic payment processing system. We cannot assure you that any of our patent applications will be granted or that if they are granted, they will be valid. A third party might try to reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use our technology without our permission, allowing competitors to duplicate our products. In addition, the laws of some countries in which we sell our product may not protect software and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.

Our product features may infringe claims of third-party patents, which could affect our business and profitability adversely.

        We are aware of various patents held by third parties in the area of electronic payment systems. The holders of rights under these patents might assert that we are infringing them. We cannot assure you that our product features do not infringe on patents held by others or that they will not in the future. If any party asserts claims against us, litigation may have a material adverse effect on us even if we defend ourselves successfully. In lieu of expensive litigation, we may seek a patent license but we cannot assure you that we could secure a license on reasonable terms.

We have limited experience competing in international markets. Our international expansion plans will expose us to greater political, intellectual property, regulatory, exchange rate fluctuation and other risks, which could harm our business.

        In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we generated 13.5% of our revenue from transactions where we collected fees from senders or recipients that resided outside the U.S. We intend to expand use of our product in selected international markets. If we could not continue our expansion into international markets, our business could suffer. Accordingly, we anticipate devoting significant resources and management attention to expanding international opportunities. Expanding internationally subjects us to a number of risks, including:

    greater difficulty in managing foreign operations;

    changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic conditions;

    expenses associated with localizing our products, including offering customers the ability to transact business in multiple currencies;

    differing intellectual property laws;

    laws and business practices that favor local competitors;

    multiple and changing laws, tax regimes and government regulations; and

    foreign currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations.


Risks Related to This Offering

Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

        If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, the market price of our common stock could decline. Based on shares outstanding as of December 31, 2001, upon completion of this offering we will have 59,832,452 shares of common stock

18



outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. All of the shares of our common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market.

        In addition, 2,479,081 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants and 9,287,500 shares available for grant under our existing stock plans as of December 31, 2001 will become eligible for sale in the public market once permitted by provisions of various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act, as applicable. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

        We, our officers and directors, and some of our other stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of Salomon Smith Barney, dispose of or hedge any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Salomon Smith Barney in its sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

Our stock price may experience volatility because of changes in securities analysts' estimates, competitive developments and other factors beyond our control, and you may lose all or a part of your investment.

        The market prices of stock for technology companies, particularly following an initial public offering, often reach levels that bear no relationship to the past or present operating performance of those companies. These market prices may not be sustainable and may be subject to wide variations. Our stock may be volatile because our shares have not been traded publicly. Following this offering, the market price for our common stock may experience a substantial decline. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:

    changes in securities analysts' estimates of our financial performance;

    fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes, particularly among securities of technology companies;

    discussion of PayPal or our stock price in online investor communities such as chat rooms;

    changes in market valuations of similar companies;

    announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new technologies, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

    variations in our quarterly operating results;

    loss of a relationship with a strategic partner; and

    additions or departures of key personnel.

        An active public market for our common stock may not develop or sustain after the offering. We negotiated and determined the initial public offering price with representatives of the underwriters and this price may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market. As a result, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock at or above the offering price.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law make any change in control more difficult. This could affect our stock price adversely.

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change in control, may discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock and may affect adversely the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. These provisions include:

    the division of our board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms;

19


    prohibiting our stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders;

    our ability to issue additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock without stockholder approval;

    prohibiting our stockholders from amending our certificate of incorporation or bylaws except with 662/3% stockholder approval; and

    advance notice requirements for raising matters of business or making nominations at stockholders' meetings.

        We are also subject to provisions of the Delaware corporation law that, in general, prohibit any business combination with a beneficial owner of 15% or more of our common stock for five years unless the holder's acquisition of our stock was approved in advance by our board of directors.

We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this offering, and we may not use these proceeds effectively. This could affect our profitability and cause our stock price to decline.

        Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether we are using the proceeds appropriately. We currently intend to use the net proceeds for collateral requirements to support our transaction processing activities, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes including continued international expansion and development of additional product functionality. We have not finalized yet the amount of net proceeds that we will use specifically for each of these purposes. We may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that do not result in our profitability or increase our market value.

As a new investor, you will incur substantial dilution as a result of this offering and future equity issuances, and as a result, our stock price could decline.

        The initial public offering price will be substantially higher than the pro forma, net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. As a result, investors purchasing common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $10.92 per share. This dilution is due in large part to earlier investors in our company having paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants and future equity issuances, including any additional shares issued in connection with acquisitions, will result in further dilution to investors.

We do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

        We do not anticipate paying cash dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

PUBLICITY REGARDING US

        On February 4, 2002, Gartner, Inc., which is a provider of research and consulting services relating to information technology, published a research report relating to online payment systems. The report contained the results of a survey conducted by Gartner of online consumers' attitudes towards electronic payment systems. PayPal was one of four online payment providers discussed in the report. On February 5, 2002, Gartner issued a press release announcing these survey results and containing additional discussion of the matters addressed in the research report. One of our employees was contacted by the author of the report and verified factual statements contained in the report. In response to the author's questions, our employee (i) informed the author of the report that we currently have more than 13 million users and (ii) provided additional information that is contained elsewhere in this prospectus concerning the number of new users added in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the fact that we have no contractual relationship with eBay. We did not authorize the contacts between our employee and the author of the report. Other than these contacts, we were not involved with the Gartner report or the press release. We were not responsible for any statement, survey result, opinion, or prediction contained in the Gartner report or press release.


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus, including the sections entitled "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations" and "Business," contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and other factors include those listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate our net proceeds from the sale of 5,400,000 shares of common stock in this offering will total $63.3 million, or $73.1 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, based on an assumed offering price of $13.00 per share and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, which are payable by us. The principal purposes of this offering are to establish a public market for our common stock, increase our visibility in the marketplace and facilitate our future access to public capital markets. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows:

    $10.0 to $15.0 million for collateral requirements to support the growth of transaction processing with outside vendors. This processing includes but is not limited to ATM/debit card, credit card and ACH processing. We meet these collateral requirements by pledging cash to provide collateral to financial institutions for actual or contingent liabilities arising from potential charge-backs, adjustments, fees, or other charges we incur;

    $10.0 to $15.0 million for capital expenditures. Significant capital expenditures include, but are not limited to, networking equipment, storage equipment, servers, and redundant data facilities; and

    the balance for other general corporate purposes, including continued international expansion and development of additional product features.

        The amounts that we actually expend for working capital and other general corporate purposes will vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including future revenue growth, if any, and the amount of cash that we generate from operations. As a result, we will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering. We also may use a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies. We have no current agreements or commitments for acquisitions of any businesses, products or technologies. Pending these uses, we will invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term money market and money market equivalent securities.


DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. For accounting purposes, we will treat the issuance of Class A Stock in the third quarter of 2001 as a deemed dividend of $1.4 million.

22




CAPITALIZATION

        The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2001:

    on an historical basis, retroactively giving effect to the one-for-four reverse split of common stock effected in December 2001;

    on a pro forma basis to reflect the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock into 43,355,144 shares of common stock upon the consummation of this offering; and

    on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give effect to the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of 5,400,000 shares of common stock in this offering, assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per share after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

        You should read this table in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

    9,607,669 shares of common stock reserved for future grant under our stock option plans; subsequent to September 30, 2001, we reserved an additional 625,000 shares for issuance under our employee stock purchase plan.

23



DILUTION

        If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock upon the completion of this offering.

        Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2001, assuming conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into common stock, equaled approximately $59.7 million or approximately $1.11 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 5,400,000 shares of common stock offered by us in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $13.00 per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2001, would have equaled approximately $2.08 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.97 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $10.92 per share to new investors of common stock in this offering. If the initial public offering price is higher or lower, the dilution to new investors will be greater or less, respectively. The following table summarizes this per share dilution:

Assumed initial public offering price per share         $ 13.00
  Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2001   $ 1.11      
  Increase per share attributable to this offering     0.97      
   
     
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering           2.08
         
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors         $ 10.92
         

        The following table summarizes on a pro forma basis, as of September 30, 2001, the differences between our existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock issued by us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid:

 
  Shares Purchased
  Total Consideration
   
 
  Average Price
Per Share

 
  Number
  Percentage
  Amount
  Percentage
Existing stockholders   53,814,256   90.9 % $ 204,140,000   74.4 % $ 3.79
New investors   5,400,000   9.1     70,200,000   25.6   $ 13.00
   
 
 
 
     
  Total   59,214,256   100.0 % $ 274,340,000   100.0 %    
   
 
 
 
     

        We base the foregoing discussions and tables on the number of shares of stock outstanding as of September 30, 2001, and exclude:

    2,061,313 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.98 per share;

    142,603 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.92 per share; and

    9,607,669 shares of common stock reserved for future grant under our stock option plans; subsequent to September 30, 2001, we reserved an additional 625,000 shares for issuance under our employee stock purchase plan.

        To the extent outstanding options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

        You should read the following selected consolidated financial data in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

        The pro forma numbers in the table give effect to the conversion of all then outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock immediately prior to the completion of the offering.

        We derived the consolidated statement of operations data for the period from inception, March 8, 1999, to December 31, 1999, for the year ended December 31, 2000, and for the period ended September 30, 2001 and consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and September 30, 2001 set forth below from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We derived the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In management's opinion, these unaudited statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial information for the periods presented. The historical results do not necessarily indicate results expected for any future period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        You should read the following commentary in conjunction with the "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

        PayPal enables any business or consumer with email to send and receive online payments securely, conveniently and cost-effectively. Our network builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards to create a global payment system. We offer our account-based system to users in 37 countries including the U.S. The PayPal product launched in October 1999; as of September 30, 2001, our network had grown to include 8.5 million personal accounts and 2.1 million business accounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 1.8 million of our accounts received at least one payment and 5.3 million of our accounts sent at least one payment. For the same period, the number of unique accounts that sent or received at least one payment amounted to 5.7 million. For the nine months ending September 30, 2001, 5.3 million, or 91.8%, of these accounts, which include both personal and business accounts, sent or received a payment that resulted in a fee. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001:

    we processed an average of 171,000 payments per day totaling $8.5 million in average daily volume;

    our Gross Merchant Sales, or GMS, totaled $2.0 billion;

    our transaction and other fees equaled $61.4 million, or 2.7% of total payment volume, compared to our transaction processing expenses of $31.9 million, or 1.4% of total payment volume; and

    our total accounts grew by an average of 18,500 per day at an average total marketing expense of $1.05 per new account, which includes an average promotional bonus cost of $0.13 per new account.

        We earn revenues from two sources: transaction and other fees, and interest on funds held for others. Transaction and other fees—which include fees on GMS, international funding and withdrawal fees, and debit card fees—comprised 95.3% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

        For the three months ended September 30, 2001, our net loss totaled $32.4 million. Excluding non-cash expenses of $31.2 million related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, our net loss amounted to $1.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our net loss totaled $89.3 million. Excluding non-cash expenses of $70.2 million related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, our net loss amounted to $19.1 million. From our inception, March 8, 1999, through September 30, 2001, our net loss totaled $264.7 million. Excluding non-cash expenses of $125.8 million related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, our net loss amounted to $138.9 million.

        Although we do not have conclusive data, we do not believe that recent changes in the U.S. and global economy would have a material favorable or adverse impact on our overall payment volume, revenues, or net income from operations.

    Merger between X.com Corporation and Confinity, Inc.

        We incorporated as X.com Corporation in March 1999 and intended to provide Internet banking services to our customers. Confinity, Inc., a development stage company, incorporated in California in December 1998. Through Confinity's product, users could send money to anyone with an email address. On March 30, 2000, X.com merged with Confinity. As of the date of the merger, Confinity had accumulated net losses since inception of $18.3 million: $15.6 million for the period ended March 30, 2000 and $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Under the terms of the agreement, as part of the purchase price paid, we issued 6,372,369 shares of common stock and 5,051,627 shares of Series AA, 24,247,842 shares of Series BB, and 18,522,653 shares of Series CC, mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, in exchange for all of the outstanding common and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of Confinity. Each share of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time into 0.25 shares of common stock, has voting rights equal to the shares of common stock into which it converts, and is entitled to receive when, and if, declared by our board of directors, dividends at the rate of $0.0049 per share of Series AA, $0.0093 per share of Series BB, $0.0297 per share of Series CC, respectively, per year, payable in preference to any payment of any dividend on common stock. The dividends are non-cumulative. All the shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock in connection with this offering. In accordance with APB 16, we determined the fair value of each of the securities issued in the acquisition. The fair values were determined using a valuation model which valued each security by assessing its characteristics with reference to the most recent financing with a third party. The valuation methodology determines the relative value of each class of stock as a function of the fair value of the total assets (as opposed to the book value) of the enterprise available for distribution to the holders of the various classes of equity. For this purpose, we used the Series C preferred stock financing which was issued in an arms-length transaction ($2.75 per share; total proceeds of $100.0 million), which also closed in March 2000, on the day following the acquisition. As such, the difference in the liquidation values of each series of preferred stock was the primary factor for the differences in the value of the various series of preferred stock. The fair value of the securities issued in connection with the acquisition totalled $129.7 million based on the following per share values: common stock at $1.51, Series AA at $1.53, Series BB at $1.54, and Series CC at $1.63. The value of warrants and options issued in connection with the acquisition totalled $15.6 million. X.com was deemed to be the surviving entity as it had the majority of the outstanding voting interest and the fully diluted interest immediately following the merger. The former stockholders of Confinity owned approximately 46.5% of our total outstanding voting interest immediately following the merger. Peter Thiel, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, was Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Confinity at the time of the merger, but left shortly thereafter. Mr. Thiel rejoined the company as Chief Executive Officer in September 2000. Max Levchin, our Chief Technology Officer and a member of our board of directors, was Chief Technology Officer and a member of the board of directors of Confinity at the time of the merger.

        We formally changed our name to PayPal, Inc. in February 2001. We accounted for the merger under the purchase accounting method. In accordance with APB 16, the cost to acquire Confinity was allocated among the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value of those assets at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price and assumed liabilities over the fair value of the net assets acquired is included in goodwill and other intangible assets and we amortize using the straight-line method over a two-year period. We based the fair value of the stock consideration paid upon an arms-length third party equity round that closed concurrently with the acquisition.

28



        The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price of $129.7 million:

Net liabilities assumed   $ (1.6 )
Goodwill     123.6  
Purchased technology     0.6  
Customer base     6.3  
Assembled workforce     0.8  
   
 
Total   $ 129.7  
   
 

See "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements."

        By October 2000 we decided to focus our efforts on the PayPal product and to discontinue our Internet banking operations. Amortization expenses relating to the goodwill and other intangible assets totaled $49.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2000, and $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Purchased technology that had reached technological feasibility and was principally represented by the technology underlying the PayPal product was valued using a replacement cost method. This analysis resulted in an allocation of $0.6 million to existing technology, which was capitalized and is being amortized over two years. Additionally, a replacement cost analysis of the customer base and assembled workforce resulted in $6.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, being capitalized and amortized over two years.

        In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002, we no longer will amortize goodwill and other intangibles with an indefinite useful life, but will test at least annually for impairment. We are currently evaluating under SFAS No. 142 the amortization treatment of the intangible assets other than goodwill acquired as part of the merger. Prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 142, we expect to amortize an additional $16.4 million of intangibles relating to the merger.

    Termination of Internet Banking Service Agreement

        In November 1999, we entered into a series of agreements with Community Bankshares, Inc., or CBI. Under the first agreement, we agreed to purchase CBI's wholly owned subsidiary, First Western National Bank, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals. The second agreement provided for an Internet banking arrangement under which we would solicit customers to apply for First Western accounts and the customers would use our software programs to utilize Internet banking services from First Western. We agreed to reimburse CBI and First Western for their costs incurred in providing the First Western accounts. In December 2000, we discontinued our Internet banking services and terminated the stock purchase agreement with CBI. In December 2000, in accordance with the original agreement, we paid CBI a termination fee of $1.0 million and reimbursed CBI an additional $1.0 million for the net losses resulting from the Internet banking operations.

    Transaction and Other Fees

        We recognize revenue from transaction and other fees when the transaction completes and no further obligations exist.

    Fees on Gross Merchant Sales

        We generate revenue primarily from transaction fees on the total dollar volume of payments made to all domestic and international business accounts. We refer to this dollar volume as Gross Merchant Sales, or GMS. We charge these transaction fees only to the payment recipient and not to the sender.

        Effective as of July 14, 2001, our rates varied according to the following schedule: 2.2% of GMS plus $0.30 per transaction for merchants receiving an average of at least $1,000 per month in payments; 2.9% of GMS plus $0.30 for merchants receiving an average of less than $1,000 per month in payments; and from 3.4% to 3.9% of GMS plus $0.30 for higher risk accounts. "Higher risk" accounts consist of merchants in industries that historically have experienced significant charge-back rates. At September 30, 2001, we had 341 accounts designated as "higher risk." As of September 30, 2001, we had 2.1 million business accounts, 39,000 of which received an average of at least $1,000 per month during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we charged a weighted average fee of 2.6% of GMS. As a result of our fee increase on July 13, 2001, the weighted average fee for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased to 3.1% of GMS. For the year ended December 31, 2000 we charged business accounts a weighted average of 2.1% of GMS. The increase in our weighted average GMS fee rate from 2.1% in 2000 to 3.1% for the three months

30



ended September 30, 2001 reflects price adjustments and increases effected during that period. We do not charge transaction fees to personal accounts on payments they receive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we processed a total of 46.6 million payments at an average size of $50 per payment. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we processed a total of 28.2 million payments at an average size of $45 per payment.

        We automatically deduct the GMS transaction fees from all payments received by business accounts. Thus, we do not need to bill or collect from our customers and we have no accounts receivable in respect of GMS transaction fees. The majority of our business accounts currently pay our standard rate of 2.9% of GMS plus $0.30 for each payment received. As we have grown our customer base and added features to our product, we have increased the prices charged business accounts with no noticeable decline in volume.

        The following tables set forth quarterly data regarding the percentage of transactions falling within certain ranges and the percentage of total dollar volume attributable to those transactions. Due to rounding, totals may not sum to exactly 100.0%.

    International Funding and Withdrawal Fees

        We charge our international senders a fee of 2.6% of the transaction amount plus $0.30 for each payment funded externally, as opposed to payments funded from an existing PayPal balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our international senders paid a weighted average of 3.0% of the transaction amount for these payments. These fees are in addition to the GMS transaction fees paid by business account recipients of international payments. We do not charge senders located in the U.S. For withdrawals, we charge our international recipients a fee, based on the recipient's country, averaging 2.1% of the amount plus $1.00 for each withdrawal from their PayPal accounts to local bank accounts. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 we charged a weighted average currency risk spread of 1.6% of the withdrawal amount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we processed a total of 1.9 million international funding and withdrawal transactions at an average size of $87 per transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we processed a total of 136,000 international funding and withdrawal transactions at an average size of $81 per transaction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 10.5% of our payment volume involved international senders or recipients. For the same period, international funding and withdrawal fees plus GMS fees and other fees collected from senders or recipients that reside outside the U.S. accounted for 13.5% of our total revenues. We anticipate this percentage to continue to increase in the future as a result of our development of our multi-currency platform and the addition of features that increase international access to our product. We classify as international those users who register a non-U.S. address, credit card or bank account.

    Debit Card Fees

        The PayPal ATM/debit card enables selected PayPal business customers to withdraw money from their PayPal account balances at any ATM connected to the Cirrus or Maestro networks and to make purchases from any merchant that accepts MasterCard. As of September 30, 2001, we had 144,000 users of activated PayPal ATM/debit cards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we earned an average revenue rate of 1.8% of the transaction value from customers who used their cards to withdraw cash from ATMs or to make purchases. We currently pay holders of the PayPal ATM/debit card a 1.5% cash-back bonus on all PayPal ATM/debit card purchases if they join the PayPal Preferred Program. This program, targeted primarily at online auction sellers, requires that users advertise PayPal as their exclusive online payment option for their auction listings. We continue to evaluate this promotion and may change the bonus amounts or requirements in the future. At September 30, 2001, 61.2% of users of activated PayPal ATM/debit cards qualified for the 1.5% cash back on PayPal ATM/debit card purchases as participants in the PayPal Preferred Program. We net these cash back payments against PayPal ATM/debit card revenues for financial reporting purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our weighted average fee, net of cash back payments, for PayPal ATM/debit card purchases and withdrawals equaled 0.9%.

    Other Transaction Fees

        Our U.S. customers have the option of earning income on their PayPal account balances by purchasing shares of our affiliated money market mutual fund, the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund. We earn investment management fees on funds customers have chosen to invest in the Fund. The Fund is managed by PayPal Asset Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of PayPal, Inc. and an SEC registered investment advisor. An independent broker-dealer distributes the Fund's shares. The Fund's shareholders have a corresponding amount of their money market fund balances automatically redeemed whenever they initiate PayPal payments.

        The Fund pays a variable rate of return. Prior to December 19, 2001, we earned a net annual management fee of 1.4% on the average net assets held in the Fund and waived expenses of 0.4%. As of December 19, 2001, we have increased the expense waiver to 1.8%. As a result, we currently earn no management fee on the assets held in the Fund. We can terminate or reduce the expense waiver in the future if we provide reasonable advance notice to shareholders. The Fund imposes a charge of 0.1% on the average net assets held in the Fund which is passed on to Barclays Global Fund Advisors. At September 30, 2001, 295,000 of our customers chose to invest in the Fund; the aggregate amount of customer funds invested in the Fund at this date totaled $49.7 million, representing an average balance of $168 per account. These customers' balances accounted for 27.3% of all money held on behalf of others in the PayPal system as of that date.

        We also earn revenues from other transaction-related charges, such as check withdrawal fees and domestic and international charge-back fees.

    Interest on Funds Held for Others

        Customers have an available PayPal balance if they have received a payment or funded their account but have not yet elected to direct these funds elsewhere. We invest the balances in most of our customers' accounts in short-term money market and money market equivalent securities which yielded an average annual return of 4.42% during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, our total amount of funds held for others equaled $132.6 million. We recognize the interest income on these investments in the period in which we earn it. We expect interest income to fluctuate depending on changes in short-term interest rates and our overall amount of funds held for others. By the end of the first quarter of 2002, we will deposit all customer funds not transferred to the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund in FDIC-insured bank accounts. These accounts may bear interest at lower rates than short-term money market and money market equivalent securities, which could impact our revenues from interest on funds held for others. The objective of this strategy is to obtain pass-through FDIC insurance for individual PayPal users covering their available PayPal account balances.

Operating Expenses

    Transaction Processing Expenses

        We incur transaction processing expenses when senders fund payments and when recipients withdraw funds.

        Senders fund PayPal payments from three sources:

    their existing PayPal balances;

    their bank accounts; or

    their credit cards.

  Number of transactions funded     18.7     22.7  
  % of total transactions sent     66.2 %   48.7 %

        We bear all costs of funding payments into the PayPal system. We incur no cost on payments funded from existing PayPal balances. For payments funded by bank account transfer, we incur a processing cost of $0.03 per transaction. On credit card-funded payments, we currently incur a cost of 1.9% of the payment amount plus $0.18 per payment. Credit card funding costs comprise the bulk of our funding costs and include interchange expenses, authorization and settlement expenses and fraud screen expenses. The percentage of our total payment volume funded with credit cards has decreased as customers increasingly have chosen to fund their payments via bank account transfers.

        Recipients withdraw funds by:

    transferring to their bank accounts;

    withdrawing cash at any ATM connected to the Cirrus or Maestro networks using the PayPal ATM/debit card;

    purchasing from merchants that accept MasterCard using either the PayPal ATM/debit card or our Shop Anywhere feature; or

    requesting a check from PayPal.

        We bear all costs associated with withdrawals from the PayPal system. On transfers to a recipient's U.S. bank account, we incur a processing cost of $0.03 per transaction. On transfers to a recipient's bank account in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia and New Zealand, our processing cost varies based upon withdrawal processing costs for the different countries. Our average processing cost for international bank account withdrawals for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 equaled approximately $0.45. For ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases, we incurred a blended average per-transaction cost of approximately $0.20. Finally, we incurred a cost of $0.62 for each paper check we mail to our customers.

    Provision for Transaction Losses

        We incur transaction losses due to fraud and non-performance of third parties and customers. We establish reserves for these estimated losses. Examples of transaction losses include ACH returns, debit card overdrafts, charge-backs for unauthorized credit card use and merchant-related charge-backs due to non-delivery of goods or services. The reserves represent an accumulation of the estimated amounts,

34


using an actuarial technique, necessary to cover all outstanding transaction losses, including losses incurred as of the reporting date but of which we have not yet been notified. This technique enables us to estimate the total expected losses by loss category, for example unauthorized use or merchant-related losses, based upon the historical charge-back reporting pattern. The total of expected losses less the total amount of charge-backs reported equals the reserve for estimated losses incurred but not reported. We base the reserve estimates on known facts and circumstances, internal factors including our experience with similar cases, historical trends involving loss payment patterns and the mix of transaction and loss types. We reflect additions to the reserve in current operating results, while we make charges to the reserve when we incur losses, typically within 90 days of the relevant transaction. We reflect recoveries in the reserve for transaction losses as collected.

        Credit card charge-backs comprise our largest source of transaction loss expense. As a percentage of total payment volume, we incurred transaction losses of 1.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, 0.87% for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 0.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Our transaction loss rate to total payment volume has decreased as a result of:

    our risk management team's success in preventing losses and recovering fraudulent funds both from unauthorized credit card use and merchant-related fraud;

    the implementation of front-end tools, risk controls, and proprietary technology to prevent merchant-related and unauthorized transaction losses; and

    the reduction in the credit card-funded percentage of our total payment volume to 51.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 68.2% for the year ended December 31, 2000.

        The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. We regularly update our reserve estimates as new facts become known and events occur that may impact the settlement or recovery of losses.

    Customer Service and Operations

        Customer service and operations expenses consist primarily of salaries for network administration personnel, customer service and operations personnel, contracting fees for our outsourced email-based customer support, computer and communications equipment and cost of facilities. We have experienced a significant increase in customer service and operations expenses as a result of hiring personnel to support our payment volume growth.

    Product Development

        Product development expenses include salaries for product managers and software engineers, consulting fees, costs of facilities, computers and communications equipment and support services used in product development.

    Selling, General and Administrative

        Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of salaries for our executive, marketing, business development, administrative, legal, finance and human resources personnel, cost of facilities, computer and communications equipment, support services, professional services fees and promotional expenditures, which include new user sign-up and referral bonuses.

        We have paid promotional bonuses from $5 to $10 to each qualified customer opening a new PayPal account and $5 to $10 to customers referring new qualified customers. The amounts paid do not and did not depend on whether the customer generates revenue for us. Currently, we offer a $5 promotional bonus to new U.S. customers who verify with us their bank account, add $250 to their

35



PayPal account via ACH, and sign up for our money market feature. We also offer a $5 bonus to new international customers who confirm a credit card with us and make a PayPal payment of at least $100. Our $5 referral bonus is available to any PayPal account holder who refers a new customer who earns the $5 new account bonus by completing the above requirements. We deposit these amounts into customer accounts and expense them as incurred. We will evaluate the effectiveness of the promotional program and revise the offering from time to time.

    Non-cash Stock-based Compensation

        In connection with some employee stock option grants, we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation based on the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the stock option exercise price of these stock options at the measurement date, typically the date of grant. We present this amount as a reduction of stockholders' equity and we amortize it over the vesting period of the applicable stock options. For the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $5.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively.

        We accelerated the vesting on some outstanding stock awards for four employees we terminated during the year ended December 31, 2000. We recorded $0.5 million in additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration as a result of the difference between the fair value of the awards at the new measurement date and the option exercise price. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we accelerated vesting for sixteen employees upon termination of service. We recorded $2.6 million in additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense. The table below includes these amounts.

        Non-cash stock-based compensation expenses in our statement of operations are allocable as follows:

        We expect to amortize the $26.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation remaining at December 31, 2001 as follows (in thousands):

Year ending December 31, 2002   $ 11,355
Year ending December 31, 2003   $ 7,879
Year ending December 31, 2004   $ 5,578
Year ending December 31, 2005   $ 1,864

        These amounts may change due to forfeitures and additional grants of stock options.

        In July 2001, we adopted a liquidity program for the benefit of employees, designed to allow participants the opportunity to diversify some of their holdings of PayPal stock. We restricted the program to or for the benefit of employees with more than one year of service as of April 30, 2001 and at least 25,000 options or shares of our restricted stock. We extended a loan to program participants for up to 20.0% of their number of shares of common stock multiplied by $6.00. The loans accrued interest at a fixed rate of 5.02% per annum with principal and interest repayable in full at the end of four years. The loans were non-recourse and prepayable and, for employees, their maturity accelerated if the individual left our employment. In exchange for the loan, each participant pledged to us restricted

36



stock totaling 20.0% of his or her equity investment in our stock. The loan agreements include a call feature which gave us the right to repurchase 10.0% of the participant's total equity investment at the time of the loan, at $12.00 per share. The call feature began one year from the date of the loan agreement and ended with the four-year term of the loan.

        As of September 30, 2001, we recognized non-cash stock-based compensation of $10.3 million, which equals the increase in the intrinsic value recorded at the original grant date and the date we funded the loans to exercise the related options, which constituted a new measurement date. Non-cash stock-based compensation accrued during the vesting period were adjusted in subsequent periods, until the loans were repaid, for changes in the fair value of the shares but not below zero. We will amortize the non-cash compensation in accordance with the vesting terms of the original equity awards using the methodology set out in FIN 28. As of September 30, 2001, we recognized amortization of $9.9 million.

        In September 2001, we entered into amendments to all but one of the loan agreements, each of which was approved by the applicable participant, under which the call feature became exercisable on September 4, 2001 and which provided that prepayment of the loan in full would extinguish the call. We exercised our call right on September 30, 2001 and repurchased 10.0% of the total equity investments in the loan program by participants who had not repaid their loans prior to that date. Three participants elected to repay their loans in full or partially in cash instead of allowing us to purchase 10.0% of their shares. This resulted in the repurchase of 389,881 shares of our common stock and 150,000 shares of our preferred stock. As of September 30, 2001, one loan associated with this program was outstanding and the remaining loans were paid in full. We adjusted non-cash stock-based compensation associated with the one remaining participant's pledged equity awards in the fourth quarter of 2001. This loan was paid in full as of November 30, 2001. We will amortize the remaining non-cash stock-based compensation associated with the 10.0% of the liquidity program participants' equity investment, not subject to repurchase, over the original vesting period of the equity awards.

        In January 2002, we granted options to purchase 75,000 shares at an exercise price of $6.00 and 4,120,597 shares at an exercise price of $12.00. We expect to record non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $4.6 million in respect of these grants, which will be amortized over the vesting periods of the respective grants. Also in January 2002, we agreed to accelerate the vesting of option grants for an employee as part of a separation agreement. An amount of $466,000 will be recorded as non-cash stock-based compensation expense in respect of this acceleration.

    Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles

        Goodwill and other intangibles resulted primarily from the merger between X.com Corporation and Confinity, Inc. in March 2000. We expect to recognize goodwill and other intangible asset amortization charges of $16.4 million per quarter through December 2001, leaving an unamortized balance of $16.4 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002, we no longer will amortize goodwill and other intangibles with an indefinite useful life, but will test at least annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142. We have not fully assessed the impact of adoption of this Statement as of September 30, 2001.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

        As of September 30, 2001, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $133.0 million and $120.0 million, respectively. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in varying amounts beginning in 2019 and 2007, respectively. The amounts of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to changes in ownership, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the recovery of the deferred tax assets, we have established a 100% valuation allowance against our net

37



deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001 as we do not expect to receive any immediate benefit from our net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

Seasonality

        We do not have a sufficiently long operating history to generalize about seasonality of revenues. Nevertheless, we believe our business exhibits seasonality surrounding the holiday season, with disproportionately higher transaction volumes in the weeks preceding the Christmas holiday season and disproportionately lower transaction volume in the following weeks.

Results of Operations

    General

        Our historical operations consist primarily of the provision of an online payment product to businesses and consumers. Due to the evolving nature of our business, the termination of our Internet banking service agreement in December 2000, and the short period of time we have been in operation, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. You should read the following discussion in connection with the audited financial statements, the unaudited interim financial statements, the selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        Although we do not have conclusive data, we do not believe that recent changes in the U.S. and global economy would have a material favorable or adverse impact on our overall payment volume, revenues, or net income from operations. Moreover, the events of September 11, 2001 had only a temporary impact on our overall payment volume. During the period from July 1, 2001 to September 10, 2001, our daily payment volume averaged $10.0 million. From September 11, 2001 to September 17, 2001, the week following terrorist attacks against the U.S., our daily payment volume averaged $9.6 million. From September 18, 2001 to September 30, 2001, payment volume recovered to a daily average of $10.4 million, and during the months of October and November 2001, payment volume increased to a daily average of $12.6 million.

Gross Merchant Sales (GMS)     57,494     2,024,876
Total payment volume     717,822     2,314,226

        Transaction and other fees increased to $61.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute the increase in transaction fees primarily to:

    The increase in fees on Gross Merchant Sales.    Gross Merchant Sales increased to $2,024.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $57.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The average price we charged business accounts increased to 2.6% of the payment amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 1.8% of the

38


      payment amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We began charging fees in June 2000 and have implemented a number of fee adjustments since that date, most recently in July 2001.

    Our introduction of international access.    We launched international capability in November 2000. Revenues from fees assessed on international funding and withdrawals amounted to $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

    The launch of PayPal ATM/debit cards.    We launched our ATM/debit card in January 2001. Revenues from debit card interchange and ATM fees net of debit card cash-back payments amounted to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

        Interest on Funds Held for Others.    Revenues from interest earned on funds held for others increased to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute this increase primarily to growth in total account funds within the PayPal system, excluding funds transferred into the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund. We earned a weighted average yield on these funds of 5.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and of 4.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

    Service Agreement Revenues

        The Internet banking services agreement with First Western provided PayPal with 50.0% of any income and 100% of any losses resulting from the operation of the program. Interest income received from investing PayPal's excess cash in overnight investments comprised most of our revenues from this service agreement. We accrue and recognize interest income in the period earned. Service agreement revenues decreased from $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 following the termination of this agreement.

    Operating Expenses

        Transaction Processing Expenses.    Transaction processing expenses increased by $15.9 million, or 99.2%, to $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute this increase primarily to the growth of our total payment volume by 222.4% to $2,314.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $717.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total payment volume, total transaction processing expenses decreased to 1.4% from 2.2%. We attribute the decrease mainly to a reduction in the percentage of payment volume funded by credit cards to 51.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 76.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

        Provision for Transaction Losses.    Provision for transaction losses increased by $2.0 million, or 25.7%, to $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute this increase primarily to the growth of our total payment volume by 222.4% to $2,314.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $717.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total payment volume, provision for transactions losses decreased to 0.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 1.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The ratio of our transaction loss rate to total payment volume has decreased as a result of our continued efforts to control transaction losses.

        Customer Service and Operations.    A comparison of our customer service and operations expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 follows.

        The absolute expense increased as we hired more employees to support our payment volume growth during the period. In May 2000, we established our customer service and operations center in Omaha, Nebraska, and in February 2001, we engaged a provider of outsourced email customer support in New Delhi, India. We attribute the decrease in customer service and operations expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from the nine months ended September 30, 2000 primarily to the fact that our revenues increased at a faster rate as we began to experience economies of scale in our support infrastructure. We attribute the decrease in our customer service and operations costs on a per payment and per account basis primarily to a combination of a reduction in the rate of customer contacts per payment and improved efficiency. Customer service and operations expenses also include depreciation and amortization of fixed assets of $3.2 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

        Product Development.    Product development expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 103.2%, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses totaled 9.8% and 54.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in the absolute expense figure reflects the expansion of our product development and engineering staff and related costs required to support our continued emphasis on product development. We attribute the decrease in product development expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from the nine months ended September 30, 2000 mainly to the fact that revenues increased faster than product development expenses in these periods. Product development expenses also include depreciation and amortization of fixed assets of $1.1 million and $165,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. See "Business--Our Strategy."

        Selling, General and Administrative.    SG&A expenses decreased by $10.6 million, or 38.7%, to $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses equaled 26.1% and 486.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. We experienced some increase in expenses from additional staffing levels and related costs required to manage and support our rapidly growing operations. However, this increase was more than offset by the decrease in our promotional bonus expenses due to the tightening of our requirements to receive sign-up and referral bonuses between the two periods. For each new account opened, average promotional bonus expenses decreased to $0.13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $3.68 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we expensed as incurred promotion costs of $0.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively. We attribute the decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from the nine months ended September 30, 2000 primarily to the fact that revenues increased while SG&A expenses decreased as we enjoyed economies of scale in our corporate infrastructure and reduced promotional bonus expenses.

        Non-cash Stock-based Compensation.    Non-cash stock-based compensation increased by $16.3 million, or 345.3%, to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute the increase primarily to amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation recognized relating to the liquidity program adopted in July 2001 and the private placement of Class A stock to or for the benefit of our CEO. See

"Operating expenses—Non-cash stock-based compensation." The allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation to each of the functional areas follows.

Customer service and operations   $ 129   $ 1,486

  Total   $ 4,707   $ 20,959
   
 

        Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles.    Our amortization expense increased to $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $32.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute this increase to the merger with Confinity, Inc. on March 30, 2000.

        Service Agreement Costs and Termination Expenses.    Service agreement costs and termination expenses decreased from $33.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as the result of our termination of the CBI and First Western agreements in 2000.

        Loss from Operations.    For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our loss from operations totaled $92.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, our loss from operations totaled $130.1 million. We attribute the decrease in the loss primarily to the increase in our revenues to $64.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, partly offset by an increase in total operating expense to $156.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $135.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

        Interest, Other Income and Expenses, Net.    Interest, other income and expenses, net increased by $0.7 million, or 25.2%, to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Interest, other income and expenses, net consist primarily of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments, the net effect of foreign currency gains and losses, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. We attribute this increase primarily to interest income from higher average cash balances resulting from our preferred stock equity financings.

        Net Loss.    Our net loss decreased by $38.3 million, or 30.0%, to $89.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $127.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. We attribute the decrease in net loss primarily to the increase in our total revenues to $64.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and the decrease in our total operating expenses as a percentage of payment volume, offset in part by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $16.3 million.

    Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999

        General.    We incorporated as X.com in March 1999 and intended to provide Internet banking services to our customers. Towards this goal, in November 1999 we entered into a series of agreements with Community Bankshares, Inc. that among other things allowed us to acquire First Western and to solicit customers for First Western's online banking services. In March 2000, we merged with Confinity, Inc., the creator of PayPal. By December 2000 we decided to focus our efforts on the PayPal product and to discontinue our Internet banking operations. Because we spent much of 1999 building infrastructure for an Internet banking service and, after the Confinity merger, focused our efforts

41


primarily on continuing to build the PayPal product, we believe investors will not find meaningful the period-to-period comparison for the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the period from inception to December 31, 1999.

        Revenues.    Service agreement revenues increased to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $0 for the period from inception to December 31, 1999. For the year ended December 31, 2000, transaction and other fees and interest on funds held for others amounted to $8.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, all of which relates to the PayPal product we acquired in the March 2000 Confinity merger. We began charging transaction fees to business account payment recipients in June 2000 and instituted additional price increases during 2000.

        Transaction Processing Expenses.    Transaction processing expenses amounted to $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, reflecting total PayPal payment volume of $1,261.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

        Provision for Transaction Losses.    Provision for transaction losses amounted to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. As a percentage of total payment volume, provision for transaction losses amounted to 0.87% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The loss rate as a percentage of total payment volume increased from 1.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2000, to 1.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, and decreased to 0.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2000, as a result of our implementing risk controls and proprietary technology to prevent losses and a reduction during these periods in the percentage of our total payment volume funded by credit cards.

        Customer Service and Operations.    Customer service and operations expenses increased to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $0.2 million for the period from inception to December 31, 1999. We attribute this increase in customer service and operations expenses primarily to greater headcount in customer service and operations and rent and other fixed assets purchased for our establishment of our Omaha, Nebraska customer service and operations center.

        Product Development.    Product development expenses increased to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $0.5 million for the period from inception to December 31, 1999. We attribute this increase to a greater number of employees in our engineering and product groups, resulting in higher salaries and depreciation expenses associated with fixed assets purchased for product development. In addition, we recognized approximately $623,000 and $20,000 of amortization expenses associated with capitalized software and website development costs, respectively.

        Selling, General and Administrative.    SG&A expenses increased to $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $3.7 million for the period from inception to December 31, 1999. We attribute this increase primarily to promotional bonus expenses, greater professional fees, outside service fees and other corporate expenses. SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 reflect $14.9 million in sign-up and referral bonuses ranging from $5 to $10 paid to new and existing PayPal users to encourage expansion of the PayPal user base following the Confinity merger.

        Non-cash Stock-based Compensation.    Non-cash stock-based compensation increased to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $0.4 million for the period from inception to December 31, 1999. We attribute this increase to option grants made to personnel hired during the year ended December 31, 2000 to support our growth.

        Service Agreement Costs and Termination Expenses.    Service agreement costs and termination expenses increased to $41.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $0 for the period from inception to December 31, 1999. We attribute this increase to costs incurred pursuant to the terms of the service agreement to reimburse CBI and First Western for providing Internet banking accounts to our users.

        Our operating results have varied on a quarterly basis during our operating history. We expect to experience significant fluctuations in our future operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which we do not control. Factors that may affect our operating results include, among others: the continued growth in our payment volume; our ability to maintain and increase our customer base and our Gross Merchant Sales; our ability to maintain and increase our international usage, debit card usage and user balances in our system; changes in our pricing policies and revenue mix; changes in non-cash stock-based compensation; the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced services by us or our competitors; changes in our cost structure, including transaction losses and credit card funding rates; consumer acceptance of the Internet for a product such as ours; consumer acceptance of the Internet as a medium of commerce; and general economic conditions.

44


        Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors could affect materially and adversely our revenues, results of operations in future periods and the market price of our common stock. As a result, you should not rely upon period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of future performance. In addition, the results of any quarterly period do not indicate results to be expected for a full fiscal year. We cannot predict many of the factors outlined above and they may cause significant fluctuations in our operating results. These fluctuations may cause our annual or quarterly results to fall below market expectations, which could affect the market price of our stock materially and adversely.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Since inception, we have financed our activities primarily through a series of private placements of convertible preferred stock. As of September 30, 2001, we had raised $202.7 million net of issuance costs from the sale of equity securities.

        Net cash used by operating activities totaled $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, and $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash used by operating activities resulted primarily from our net loss and was offset by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, and increases in amounts due to customers.

        Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $39.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We primarily used the invested cash in the periods presented for purchases of investment securities and fixed assets.

        Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, $148.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $35.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from the issuance of preferred stock to third parties.

        In connection with our plan to deposit all customer funds not transferred into the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund into FDIC-insured bank accounts by the end of the first quarter of 2002, we anticipate a decrease in cash and cash equivalents held in respect of funds due to customers' available balances, which amounted to $95.4 million at September 30, 2001, and a decrease of the related liability.

        For the three months ending December 31, 2001, we expect to spend approximately $3.0 million in capital expenditures relating to the establishment of a secondary data center, further upgrading our primary data center, and investment in networking and equipment infrastructure for our head office.

        As of September 30, 2001, we pledged $6.5 million in cash to provide collateral for the following:

    Transaction processing (e.g., PayPal ATM/debit card and credit card processing): $5.0 million

    General corporate activities (e.g., lease agreements): $1.0 million

    Equipment loan: $0.5 million

        As of September 30, 2001, the following sets forth our minimum lease commitments:

2001 (Last three months only)   $ 254   $ 452

2005 and thereafter         4,212
   
 
  Total minimum lease commitments   $ 3,303   $ 10,129
   
 

        In October 2001 we entered into a lease agreement in connection with office space in Mountain View, California. Minimum lease commitments required under this lease are as follows (in thousands):

2002   $ 1,582
2003     2,350
2004     2,446
2005     2,543
2006     2,645
   
  Total minimum lease commitments   $ 11,566
   

        In addition, we have minimum payments due under service and marketing agreements in the aggregate amount of $0.1 million in 2001 (last three months only), $1.5 million in 2002, $1.9 million in 2003, $3.0 million in 2004 and $2.5 million in 2005.

        We believe that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, our cash from operations, together with cash currently available, without giving effect to the net proceeds from this offering, will suffice to fund our operations for at least the next 24 months. Giving effect to the net proceeds from this offering, our capital resources will suffice to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. Poor financial results, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated opportunities that require financial commitments could give rise to additional financing requirements sooner than we expect. However, we may not secure financing when we need it or we may not secure it on acceptable terms. If we do not raise additional funds when we need them, we might have to delay, scale back or eliminate expenditures for expansion of our product plans and other strategic initiatives.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our fixed and variable rate debt. Currently, we do not utilize interest rate swaps, forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or commodities or other types of derivative financial instruments.

        We do not believe that the future market risks related to the above securities will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        To date, all of our recognized revenue has been denominated in U.S. dollars. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we earned approximately 13.5% of our revenue from international markets, which in the future may be denominated in various currencies. As a result, our operating results may become subject to significant fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates of some currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar and diverging economic conditions in foreign markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot assure you that exchange rate fluctuations will not affect adversely our financial results in the future.

46



        We use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of our system. Senders outside the U.S. fund their PayPal payments from credit card charges, which they must repay to their card issuer in local currency. In addition, for the countries where PayPal customers can withdraw their funds to local bank accounts, we must hold funds in Canadian dollars, British pounds, euros, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars to fund such withdrawals. Some of the revenues we generate outside the U.S. are subject therefore to unpredictable and indeterminate fluctuations if the values of international currencies change relative to the U.S. dollar.

        We currently do not invest in, or hold for trading or other purposes, any financial instruments subject to market risk. Our revenue from interest on funds held for others and interest income on our invested corporate capital is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates and any declines of interest rates over time would reduce our revenues and interest income from our portfolio.

Inflation and Foreign Currency Risk

        Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations during the periods covered by the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Additionally, foreign exchange risk does not pose a significant threat to us because we set the dollar-to-local currency conversion rate for international withdrawals at a rate that is designed to cover our intra-day risks of holding foreign currencies. If inflation increases, if foreign currency fluctuations make it less attractive for international customers to make payments in U.S. dollars, or if we do not properly manage our exposure to the foreign currencies that we hold, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. The difficulty of managing our foreign currency exposure will increase if we implement our plans to offer customers the ability to send and receive payments in multiple currencies.

Effect of Recent Accounting Changes

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have no impact on us as we have no derivative instruments and do not perform hedging activities.

        In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141. The standard concludes that all business combinations within the scope of the statement will be accounted for using the purchase method. Previously, the pooling-of-interests method was required whenever certain criteria were met. Because those criteria did not distinguish economically dissimilar transactions, similar business combinations were accounted for using different methods that produced dramatically different financial statement results. SFAS No. 141 no longer permits the use of pooling-of-interest method of accounting. In addition, the statement also requires separate recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria: the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. SFAS No. 141 also requires the disclosure of the primary reasons for a business combination and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later.

        In June 2001 the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS No. 142. It addressed how intangible assets that are acquired individually or within a group of assets (but not those acquired in business combination) should be accounted for in the financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 adopts a more aggregate view of goodwill and bases the accounting on the units of the combined entity into which an acquired entity is aggregated. SFAS No. 142 also prescribes that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be

47



amortized but rather tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but no longer with the constraint of the 40-year ceiling. SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for the testing of goodwill for impairment, which may require re-measurement of the fair value of the reporting unit. Additional ongoing financial statement disclosures are also required. The provisions of the statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The statement is required to be applied at the beginning of the fiscal year and applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the financials at that date. Impairment losses are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. We will implement SFAS No. 142 beginning January 1, 2002. We have not yet determined the impact of implementation to our consolidated results of operations.

        In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS No. 144. It supercedes SFAS No. 121 Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of and APB Opinion No. 30 Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business. It establishes a single account model based upon the framework of SFAS No. 121. It removes goodwill and intangible assets from its scope. It describes a probability-weighted cash flow estimation approach to deal with certain situations. It also establishes a "primary asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We have not fully assessed the impact of adoption of SFAS 144 upon our financial position or results of operations as of September 30, 2001.

BUSINESS

Overview

        PayPal enables any business or consumer with email to send and receive online payments securely, conveniently and cost-effectively. Our network builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards to create a global payment system. We deliver a product well suited for small businesses, online merchants, individuals and others currently underserved by traditional payment mechanisms.

        We seek to become the global standard for online payments. We offer our account-based system to users in 37 countries including the United States. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our payment volume to business accounts, which we refer to as Gross Merchant Sales or GMS, totaled $2.0 billion. GMS equaled 87.5% of our total payment volume of $2.3 billion for this period. Our GMS consists mainly of payments to small businesses. Currently, a majority of these payments relate to sales of goods and services through online auctions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the percentage of our payment volume related to online auctions, particularly eBay auctions, equaled 68.3%. As of September 30, 2001, we had 10.6 million accounts, including 2.1 million business accounts and 8.5 million personal accounts.

        The small business market presents us with a potentially significant opportunity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 22.6 million small businesses in the U.S., those with less than $1.0 million in annual receipts, generate an aggregate of $1.6 trillion in annual sales. In addition, according to The Nilson Report, only 3.1 million merchants in the U.S. currently accept credit cards, leaving a large number of sellers unable to accept traditional electronic payments. By enhancing the existing payment infrastructure, the PayPal product serves the need of these sellers for a secure, convenient and cost-effective online payment system.

        To send a payment, a PayPal account holder enters the email address of the recipient and the payment amount, and selects a funding source—credit card, bank account or PayPal balance. In addition, with our Web Accept feature, merchants can accept PayPal payments directly from their websites. When a consumer who has not yet registered with PayPal visits the website of a merchant that has integrated Web Accept, the consumer can open a PayPal account from the merchant's site in order to make a purchase.

        Payment recipients may use their funds to make payments to others, leave the funds in their PayPal accounts and earn a money market rate of return, or withdraw the funds at any time by requesting a bank account transfer or a check delivered by mail or by using the PayPal ATM/debit card. When a PayPal sender makes an email payment to a recipient who does not yet have a PayPal account, the recipient follows a link in the payment notification email to register with PayPal and gain access to the funds.

        We have achieved our rapid growth through a combination of the "push" nature of email payments to non-registered recipients and the "pull" nature of Web Accept. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our total number of accounts grew by 5.1 million, an average of 18,500 per day, at an average total marketing expense, including promotional bonuses, of $1.05 per new account.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we processed an average of 171,000 payments per day totaling $8.5 million in daily volume. The average payment amount sent equaled $50.

Industry Overview

    Growth of Online Commerce

        Forrester projects consumer purchases on the Internet to grow from an estimated $51.5 billion in 2001 to $195.0 billion in 2006. The emergence of auction-based marketplaces, which provide small

49


merchants and consumers access to the global market, contribute significantly to this growth. For example, eBay, the largest online auction site, reported gross merchandise sales of $6.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of 73.5% over the comparable period in 2000. Forrester projects continued robust growth in total consumer auction sales—from an estimated $8.4 billion in 2001 to $48.5 billion in 2006.

    Legacy Payment Systems

        Traditionally, consumers and businesses have effected payments by delivering cash, paper checks or money orders, by instituting wire transfers or by using credit cards. According to The Nilson Report, an estimated $4.9 trillion in consumer payments were made in the U.S. in 1999. Paper checks, the most common method of settling commercial transactions, comprised 46.2% of the total dollar value of commercial payments in 1999. Credit card transactions represented 22.5% of the total. Many small to mid-sized businesses wishing to conduct transactions online may find these traditional payment methods insecure, expensive or inconvenient.

        Cash:    Cash payments, while effective for face-to-face low-value transactions, do not function effectively for transactions in which the buyer and seller are in different locations.

        Checks:    Both the sender and the recipient of paper checks can find them costly and inconvenient in terms of printing, mailing, delivering and processing. In addition, checks settle slowly, as even after delivery and deposit checks still can take several days to clear and allow the recipient access to the funds.

        Wire Transfer:    Individuals sending money overseas and persons without bank accounts primarily use wire transferors and money transmission services. These services often charge high fees, particularly for low-and mid-value payments, and involve inefficient methods of payment notification and receipt.

        Credit Cards:    Credit cards accounted for approximately 98.5% of payment volume for online transactions in 2000 according to ActivMedia. However, many small and mid-sized businesses may find drawbacks to accepting credit cards for online transactions. In order to obtain a merchant agreement and accept credit cards online, many merchants need to provide a personal guaranty, acquire specialized hardware, prepare a loan application, establish secure Internet connections and encrypt all customer credit card data. In addition, the up-front and monthly fixed costs and the relatively high variable processing costs at low volumes may make credit cards prohibitively expensive for smaller merchants. Fraud poses a major problem for online merchants, which bear responsibility for fraudulent credit card payments. According to Global Industry Analysts, online fraud accounted for approximately 5% of total online transactions in 1999.

Our History

        We set out to develop a payment system combining the pervasiveness of email with the existing financial infrastructure—the Automated Clearing House, or ACH, system, the credit card networks and the ATM/debit card networks. We launched our product in October 1999, offering free email-driven, person-to-person payments. In order to encourage growth, we designed our system to allow senders to pay people who did not yet have PayPal accounts. Every time a PayPal user sent money to someone who had not joined the PayPal network, the recipient received an email with a link to open a PayPal account and claim his money. In this way, the user base grew as a direct function of people using the PayPal system. We augmented this user-driven growth with various promotional bonuses. During the earlier stages of our growth, we offered qualified new users a $5 to $10 sign-up bonus, automatically deposited into their PayPal accounts, to encourage them to send money to others. Additionally, for every new member one of our users brought into the network, we deposited into the original user's PayPal account a $5 to $10 referral bonus. We began the year 2000 with 12,000 users. Just six months

50



later, our user base had grown to 2.2 million accounts, and as of September 30, 2001, we had 10.6 million accounts.

        Recognizing that much of our payment volume involved businesses, in June 2000 we began charging fees to our higher volume individual and commercial recipients by launching business accounts. Unlike personal accounts, business accounts may send and receive unlimited credit card funded payments and also take advantage of e-commerce-enabling features such as Web Accept, which allows merchants to receive payments directly from their websites. By the end of June 2000, we had 14,000 business accounts. By December 31, 2000, this number grew to over 800,000. Many merchants joined PayPal in part because of the widespread consumer adoption of our payment system. A number of previous attempts to create new payment mechanisms failed largely because of the "chicken and egg" problem—consumers did not adopt the mechanism because merchants did not accept it, and merchants would not accept it because no consumers used it. We solved this problem by making it virtually costless for merchants to sign up for accounts. A business only needed email and an Internet connection. At the same time, our growing customer base encourages merchants to register simply by sending them email payments. As of September 30, 2001, our 10.6 million total accounts included 2.1 million business accounts.

        For the three months ended September 30, 2001, we processed an average of 195,000 payments per day, totaling $10.1 million in daily volume. Fee paying business accounts received 88.1% of this payment volume, for a total of $815.0 million in GMS. We have refined our sign-up and referral bonus requirements to encourage our customers to utilize the full range of our product, including the ability to link a bank account and to earn a money market rate of return on their respective PayPal balances. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, we added an average of 19,500 new accounts every day at an average cost of $0.09 in promotional bonuses per new account. As we have grown our customer base and added features to our product, we have increased the prices charged business accounts with no adverse effect on GMS. We believe that our market exhibits network characteristics, meaning that as the number of participants within the PayPal's network grows, the value of joining the network grows as well.

The PayPal Product

        PayPal enables any business or consumer with email to send and receive online payments securely, conveniently and cost-effectively. Our email-driven system builds on the legacy financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards to create an online payment network available to users in 37 countries.

    How PayPal Works

        Joining the Network.    To send or receive a payment, a user first must open a PayPal account. A new recipient opens an account after receiving notification of a payment, and each new sender opens an account in the process of making a payment, either at the PayPal website or at the website of a merchant that has integrated our Web Accept feature. Allowing new users to join the network at the time of making or receiving payments encourages our natural, user-driven growth. Our free, fast and simple account sign-up process asks each new user to register with PayPal his name, street address and email address, which serves as the unique account identifier.

        Making Payments.    Senders make payments at the PayPal website or at the sites of merchants that have integrated our Web Accept feature. To make a payment at our website, a sender logs on to his account and enters the recipient's email and the dollar amount of the payment. To make a payment through Web Accept, a sender selects an item for purchase, confirms the payment information and enters his email address and password to authorize the payment. In both scenarios, we debit the money from the sender's PayPal balance and instantly credit it to the recipient's PayPal balance. In turn, the

51



recipient can make payments to others or withdraw his funds at any time. We earn revenues when a business account receives a payment.

        Funding Payments.    Senders fund payments in three ways:

    from the sender's existing PayPal balance;

    from the sender's bank account, using the Automated Clearing House, or ACH, network; or

    from the sender's credit card.

        We incur no funding cost on payments made from existing PayPal balances. We incur a cost of $0.03 for each bank account ACH transfer. By contrast, on credit card-funded payments we incur processing and interchange fees of 1.9% of the payment amount plus $0.18. As a result, we encourage our users to make bank account-funded payments. We also encourage our users to maintain PayPal balances by offering a money market rate of return on PayPal account balances placed in our Money Market Reserve Fund. This Fund, which is managed by Barclays Global Fund Advisors, bears a current yield of 2.29% as of September 4, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, customers funded 22.2% of payment volume through their existing PayPal balances, 26.7% via bank account transfers and 51.1% by credit cards. While we encourage senders to make payments from bank account transfers or existing PayPal balances, we also welcome and encourage senders to register and use credit cards. Many senders prefer to fund transactions using credit cards, and their participation in our user base increases the value of our payment network.

        Verification of our Account Holders.    In order for senders to fund payments from their bank accounts, they first must become verified PayPal users through our Random Deposit technique for which we have applied for a patent: we make two deposits ranging from 1 to 99 cents to the user's bank account. To verify ownership of the account, the user then enters the two amounts as a 4-digit code at the PayPal website. In addition to allowing funding via bank accounts, verification also removes some spending limits on users' accounts and gives them reputational advantages when transacting with other members of the PayPal community.

Percentage of payment volume funded by credit cards during three months ended   76.2 % 81.0 % 74.1 % 56.9 % 48.8 % 50.5 % 53.2 %

        The percentage of our payment volume funded by credit cards increased from 48.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to 53.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 partly because a higher proportion of our payment volume during the latter period involved international accounts, which allow external funding only from credit cards, and partly because we increased the initial credit card spending limit from $250 to $1,000 before a user becomes verified.

        Withdrawing Money.    Each account holder may withdraw money from his PayPal account via an ACH transfer to his bank account or by a mailed check from PayPal. ACH withdrawals may take three to five business days to arrive in the account holder's bank account, depending on the bank. Mailed checks may take one to two weeks to arrive and we charge $1.50 per check. Qualifying PayPal users also can receive a PayPal ATM/debit card, which provides instant liquidity to their respective PayPal account balances. ATM/debit card holders can withdraw cash, for a $1.00 fee per transaction, from any ATM connected to the Cirrus or Maestro networks and can make purchases at any merchant accepting MasterCard. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we earned revenues net of cash back payments of approximately 0.9% on PayPal ATM/debit card transactions.

52



        In September 2001, we launched our new virtual debit card feature called Shop Anywhere. Shop Anywhere allows all PayPal users to make purchases using their PayPal balances from merchants accepting MasterCard.

Timing of Payments and Withdrawals

        The time it takes for a sender to complete a transaction using PayPal and for a recipient to have use of the transferred funds depends on the sender's funding source for the payment and the recipient's choice regarding use of the funds he or she receives. The sender can fund a payment from one of three sources: an existing PayPal balance, a credit card or, for U.S. customers, a bank account. If the sender funds the payment in full using a pre-existing PayPal balance, PayPal instantly debits the amount specified by the sender from the sender's balance and simultaneously credits that amount, less any applicable fees, to the recipient's PayPal balance. If the sender instead funds the payment in part or in full using a credit card, PayPal credits the amount of the payment, less any fees, to the recipient's account as soon as PayPal receives information from the applicable credit card network that the sender's payment is authorized, which usually takes a few seconds. Similarly, if the sender has registered both a primary bank account and an alternate funding source with PayPal and qualifies for PayPal's "Instant Transfer" feature, PayPal will credit the recipient's account instantly. PayPal will concurrently initiate a debit to the sender's primary bank account through the ACH network. The only type of payment in which PayPal does not credit funds instantly to the recipient occurs if the sender chooses to use bank account funding but does not qualify for, or elects not to use, Instant Transfer. In these "eCheck" payments, PayPal will initiate a debit to the sender's bank account through the ACH network, and will notify the recipient immediately that the sender has initiated payment, but will credit funds to the recipient's account only after the debit has been completed, which usually takes three to four business days.

        Once the funds have been credited to the recipient's account, the recipient can leave the funds in the PayPal system or can at any time initiate a withdrawal. The customer can withdraw funds either by ACH transfer to his or her bank account, if the customer is in the U.S. or one of 11 other countries, or by check for U.S. customers. Recipients who are U.S. customers can also immediately spend up to $150 per day from their PayPal balance at online sellers that accept MasterCard, using PayPal's Shop Anywhere feature. U.S. recipients who have a business account may also be eligible for the PayPal ATM/debit card, which can be used to spend PayPal balances at online sellers and physical retail locations that accept MasterCard and withdraw cash at ATMs.

        If the recipient initiates a withdrawal by ACH transfer, he or she will typically receive the funds in his or her bank account within four business days, or five business days in the 11 countries outside the U.S. where PayPal offers withdrawals to local bank accounts. If the recipient initiates a withdrawal by check, PayPal will send a request on the following business day to its processing bank to issue and send the check through the U.S. mail, but the time needed for the recipient to receive the check will depend on the speed of mail delivery and the recipient's geographic location. The full process from initiation of a check withdrawal request to receipt of the check by the customer can take up to two weeks. Even after the customer has received the check, he or she will need either to cash the check or deposit it in his or her bank. If he or she deposits the check in the bank, depending on the customer's location, the bank may take up to five additional days to credit the customer's account with the funds.

        Users may also add funds to their PayPal accounts without making a payment. This is not possible by credit card, but only by ACH transfer from a bank account, which generally takes three to four business days to complete.

        Business Accounts.    Our customers choose either PayPal business accounts or PayPal personal accounts. Gross Merchant Sales, or GMS, equals the total dollar volume of payments received by business accounts. Business accounts pay us transaction fees on all GMS. Since July 14, 2001, our per transaction rate varied according to the following schedule: 2.2% of GMS plus $0.30 for merchants receiving an average of at least $1,000 per month in payments; 2.9% of GMS plus $0.30 for merchants receiving an average of less than $1,000 per month in payments; and from 3.4% to 3.9% of GMS plus $0.30 for higher risk accounts.

        Business accounts benefit from a number of additional features:

    the right to receive unlimited credit card-funded payments;

    the ability to apply for the PayPal ATM/debit card;

    the right to list on PayPal Shops, a searchable directory of over 20,000 online businesses that accept PayPal;

    our Web Accept feature, which enables businesses to accept payments directly from their websites;

    the PayPal shopping cart feature, which allows a business account's customers to purchase multiple items with a single payment; and

    subscriptions, allowing businesses to receive regularly scheduled payments.

        Personal Accounts.    PayPal personal accounts allow users to make and receive free online payments, other than credit card-funded payments. Personal accounts can upgrade to business accounts at any time and thereby avail themselves of all the benefits of a business account, including the ability to receive credit card-funded payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 622,000 customers upgraded from personal to business accounts.

54



        International Accounts.    We currently allow residents of 36 foreign countries to open PayPal accounts. These international senders make payments through credit cards or from their PayPal account balances. International recipients may withdraw money from their PayPal accounts to a U.S. bank account free of charge. In addition, international recipients in eleven countries can make electronic funds transfer withdrawals to their local bank accounts for a fee of 2.1% of the withdrawal amount plus $1.00 per withdrawal. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 we charged a weighted average currency risk spread of 1.6% of the withdrawal amount. We charge international senders a fee of 2.6% plus $0.30 for making payments not funded from an existing PayPal balance. As of September 30, 2001, we had 723,000 international accounts, compared with 313,000 as of March 31, 2001. We intend to develop multi-currency functionality, which will enable international users to hold balances in local currencies.

    Security and Privacy

        PayPal users choose a unique password to protect their accounts. To make payments, senders need to disclose only their email addresses to recipients. Similarly, to receive payments, recipients need to disclose only their email addresses to senders. Many buyers and sellers wary of disclosing financial information online find this high level of personal privacy attractive. See "Business—Technology."

        PayPal account balances, while not FDIC-insured, receive protection through an insurance policy issued by Travelers Insurance. This insurance protects account holders from unauthorized withdrawals for amounts up to $100,000.

Our Strategy

        We seek to expand upon our market leadership and become the online payment network of choice around the world. To establish PayPal as the online payment standard, we will continue to identify transactions and markets not served adequately by existing payment systems and to develop product features that improve upon those legacy systems. In addition to growing our customer base, our business strategy includes the following:

        Expand Small Business Payment Volume.    We intend to continue to develop features to spur our growth as a payment vehicle for small businesses. During the past year, we added features such as a PayPal shopping cart, which allows buyers to make a single payment for multiple items from a merchant's website, PayPal Shops, a directory of over 20,000 businesses that accept PayPal, a reputation system to give buyers information on the integrity of businesses, and a subscription feature, allowing recurring payments for digital content.

        Strengthen our Position as the Payment Method of Choice on Online Auctions.    We have become a popular payment network for online auction websites, including eBay, partially due to the size of our network and widening acceptance of our product. We intend to strengthen our leadership position in the auction business by continuing to add product features important to auction participants. During the past year, we added features such as automated invoicing, bidder notification emails, automatic PayPal logo insertion into auction listings and the ability for auction sellers to accept payments directly from their auction pages.

        Expand Recurring Revenue.    Our growing installed user base provides us with recurring revenue. We intend to expand this revenue by continuing to enhance the product features we offer our current customers.

        Increase Volume of International Payments.    We plan to grow our international volume by adding product features designed to increase international access to our network and enhance its functionality. We intend to expand PayPal's reach beyond the current 37 countries. We plan to increase the number

55



of foreign countries where users can withdraw funds to their local bank accounts. We also are developing a multi-currency platform to enable international users to transact in local currencies.

        Maintain Low Variable Costs, Particularly Transaction Losses.    Our relatively low variable operating costs and high per transaction revenue create an attractive profit opportunity as we grow our volume. Risk management represents a critical component of maintaining low variable operating costs. Our proprietary risk management techniques have reduced our provision for transaction losses from 1.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to 0.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

        Grow PayPal ATM/Debit Card Usage.    The PayPal ATM/debit card allows selected PayPal account holders to access their account balances from any ATM connected to the Cirrus or Maestro networks and to make purchases from any merchant that accepts MasterCard. We earn a transaction fee whenever our customers make debit card purchases or withdraw money from an ATM using this card. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 8.7% of the funds leaving the PayPal system were withdrawn using the PayPal ATM/debit card. We intend to increase our ATM/debit card volume by further broadening its distribution to qualified PayPal account holders.

Our Customers

    Business Customers

        Our business accounts conduct a wide variety of commercial transactions using PayPal, including the sale of goods online such as electronics and household items, the sale of services online such as web design and travel, and the sale of digital content. Offline businesses, including lawyers, contractors and physicians, also receive payments online through PayPal.

        PayPal has emerged as the method of choice for small to medium-sized businesses to receive payment for auctions on eBay, the largest online auction community. As of September 30, 2001, 69.4% of all eBay auctions explicitly accepted PayPal versus 29.5% accepting eBay Payments, formerly known as Billpoint.

    Personal Customers

        Our personal accounts primarily use PayPal to make payments to businesses for goods and services. We also enable "person-to-person" payments, examples of which include roommates sharing living expenses, parents sending money to children, friends sharing travel expenses and purchases from small-scale, infrequent online auction sellers.

    International Customers

        As of September 30, 2001, we had 723,000 international accounts, equal to 6.8% of our total account base. By comparison, as of March 31, 2001, we had 313,000 international accounts, equal to 4.3% of our total account base. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, 13.1% of all PayPal

56


payments involved at least one international account, up from 9.8% for the prior quarter. We are developing a multi-currency platform to enable international users to transact in local currencies, initially euros, British pounds and Canadian dollars.

        Residents of 37 countries have access to the PayPal network. As of September 30, 2001, our largest markets outside the U.S. included 244,000 accounts in Canada, 161,000 accounts in the United Kingdom, 57,000 accounts in Australia, 43,000 accounts in Germany and 20,000 accounts in Japan.

Sales and Marketing

        From our launch, we have grown primarily through organic, user-driven means. Each time an existing PayPal customer sends or receives funds to or from someone who has not yet registered with PayPal, the other party must open a PayPal account in order to receive or send the payment. Thus, when a PayPal user makes an email payment to someone who does not yet have a PayPal account, the recipient follows a link in the payment notification email to register with PayPal and gain access to the funds. Similarly, when a consumer who has not yet registered with PayPal visits the website of a merchant that has integrated our Web Accept feature, the consumer opens a PayPal account from the merchant's site in order to make the purchase. We have achieved our growth through this combination of "push"- and "pull"-driven new customer acquisition. Starting with payments made from our 24 employees to their friends in October 1999, our user base grew to 10,000 in December 1999, to 100,000 by early February 2000, to 1,000,000 by mid-April 2000 and to 10,000,000 by September 2001.

        We accelerated our natural growth with promotional bonuses, our only significant marketing expenditures. Thus, in late 1999 and early 2000, we offered qualified new users a $5 to $10 sign up bonus, automatically credited to their respective PayPal accounts. Additionally, for each qualified new member one of our users introduced to the network, we credited the original user's PayPal account with a $5 to $10 referral bonus. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, we spent $5.0 million on these promotional bonuses and acquired 1.5 million accounts, for an average cost of $3.29 per account. We have continued to refine the criteria qualifying users for promotional bonuses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we spent $0.6 million on promotional bonuses and acquired 5.1 million accounts, for an average cost of $0.13 per account. Our organic, user-driven growth has proven more cost-effective than traditional sales and marketing channels, such as television, radio and print advertising as well as Internet-based promotional methods such as banner ads and directed email campaigns.

Risk Management

        PayPal's account-centric network enables us to detect and prevent fraud when funds enter the PayPal network, as funds move within the network and when they leave. According to The Gartner Report, dated July 28, 2000, the 90.0% of online retailers responding to the Gartner survey reported average Internet charge-back rates of 2.64%. In contrast, PayPal's transaction loss rate as a percentage of payment volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 equaled 0.42% compared to 1.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Striking the optimal balance between the dual objectives of controlling fraud and providing a user-friendly system will remain a key challenge for PayPal.

57



        Our risk management techniques include the following:

    Card Evaluation. PayPal deploys rigorous anti-fraud screens for every credit card transaction we process. We use internally developed behavioral scores and third party software, in addition to running Address Verification System, or AVS, and more advanced credit card checks.

    Proprietary Fraud Detection Software. PayPal's proprietary IGOR system monitors account and transaction patterns in order to control our loss exposure once fraudulent funds enter the PayPal system.

    Experience. Finally, our experience and cumulative knowledge in dealing with attempted fraud perpetrators represents an additional anti-fraud advantage.

Technology

        Our technology assures user access to the PayPal website, both to acquire new customers and to allow existing ones to conduct financial transactions. We focus much of our development efforts on creating specialized software that enhances our Internet-based customer functionality. One of our key challenges remains building and maintaining a scalable and reliable system, capable of handling traffic and transactions for a growing customer base. The major components of our network reside at our corporate headquarters in Palo Alto, California, at an Equinix data center in San Jose, California, and at our operations and customer support facility in Omaha, Nebraska. We have a second data center with Exodus in Santa Clara, California.

        Because of the financial nature of the PayPal product, we seek to offer a high level of data security in order to build customer confidence and to protect our customers' private information. We have designed our security infrastructure to protect data from unauthorized access, both physically and over the Internet. Our most sensitive data and hardware reside at our Exodus data center. This data center has redundant connections to the Internet, as well as fault-tolerant power and fire suppression systems. Because of our special security needs, we house our equipment in physically secure data vaults and we tightly control physical access to our systems.

        Multiple layers of network security and network intrusion detection devices further enhance the security of our systems. We segment various components of the system logically and physically from each other on our networks. Components of the system communicate with each other via Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, an industry standard communications security protocol, and require mutual authentication. Access to a system component requires at least two authorized staff members simultaneously to enter secret passphrases. This procedure protects us from the unauthorized use of our infrastructure components. Finally, we store all data we deem private or sensitive only in encrypted form in our database. We decrypt data only on an as-needed basis, using a specially designated component of our system which requires authentication before fulfilling a decryption request.

Customer Service and Operations

        Our primary customer service team in Omaha, Nebraska provides email and telephone customer support. As of December 31, 2001, this team consisted of 318 employees. Our outsourced New Delhi, India customer service team provided through Daksh eServices Private Limited, responds to the bulk of our initial email customer inquiries. As of December 31, 2001, this team consisted of 100 dedicated representatives, for a total of over 418 persons dedicated to customer support.

        We strive to maintain industry-leading standards for customer service. On average, we respond to phone calls from business and premier customers in nine seconds, with only a 2.1% call abandonment rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We estimate that we resolve 85.0% of all email inquiries within 24 hours and 99.0% within four days. Our customer service needs have not grown as quickly as our user base, and we expect this trend to continue. For example, we have improved

58



efficiency from 16,000 PayPal accounts per customer service representative as of September 30, 2000 to 26,000 accounts per customer service representative as of September 30, 2001.

        Our 110-member operations team, also in Omaha, has built expertise in payments industry rules and best practices in Visa and MasterCard, Regulation E, National Automated Clearing House Association and Maestro processing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, PayPal's operations team supported an average daily volume of 83,000 ACH transactions and an average daily volume of 100,000 Visa/MasterCard transactions.

Vendor Relationships

    Electronic Payment Exchange

        We process all of our customers' credit card transactions through Electronic Payment Exchange, Inc., or EPX. EPX provides the systems and services that allow us to direct transaction information to the merchant bank that provides transaction processing services to us and sponsors our acceptance of Visa cards. For Visa transactions, First Union National Bank acts as our merchant bank, and for MasterCard, Discover and American Express transactions, TheBancorp.com Bank acts as our merchant bank. Our agreements with EPX, First Union National Bank, Certegy Card Services, Inc., which provides processing services for First Union, and TheBancorp.com Bank make us responsible for all charge-backs unless we obtain a physical signature from the cardholder, and require us to comply with the rules and guidelines of the card associations.

        In turn, EPX and the applicable bank have agreed to process properly-presented card transactions and to transfer the funds from such transactions to us on a daily basis. EPX is also required to meet specified service levels regarding the availability, response times and security of their processing services, their settlement of funds due us, and their charge-back processing. The contract limits the liability of EPX and the applicable bank for any breaches of the agreement to the amount of fees we have paid during the six-month period immediately prior to the event giving rise to our damages.

        We pay EPX and the applicable bank a fee for each credit card authorization, as well as a fee for each completed credit card transaction. The banks also pass through to us standard industry fees that they are charged by the card associations for issuer interchange on completed transactions, which consist of a percentage of the transaction amount. We also are subject to additional fees if we submit less than 50.0% of our customers' credit card transactions through EPX during the first year of the contract. If the dollar amount of credit card transactions that our customers charge back exceed 1.0% of our credit card transaction volume, EPX and the applicable bank can require us to establish a reserve account at the bank equal to the total amount of charge-backs over the last 30 to 120 days, depending on the extent to which our charge-back ratio exceeds 1.0%. At our current charge-back rates, we do not need to provide any funds to this reserve account.

        Until December 1, 2001, our processor for substantially all credit card transactions was Chase Merchant Services. Chase Merchant Services remains responsible to Visa and MasterCard for any charge-backs on our customers' credit card transactions that occurred prior to December 1, 2001. To protect itself against the risk of such charge-backs, Chase Merchant Services has retained approximately $12.0 million in settlement funds due to us, and has notified us of its intention to hold these funds as long as necessary to cover its liability for charge-backs. We also have pledged previously a $3.0 million certificate of deposit to Chase Merchant Services to protect it against the risk of loss from transactions that are subsequently charged back. We believe these amounts of security are excessive compared to Chase Merchant Services' risk of loss from transactions occurring prior to December 1, 2001, and therefore are not permitted under the surviving provisions of our former contract with Chase Merchant Services. We are negotiating with Chase Merchant Services for a reduction in the amount of the reserve.

59



    Wells Fargo

        Since August 2000, we have processed all of our ACH and check transactions through Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo also provides other services for us, including wire transfers, check printing, mailing and reconciling as well as fraud protection. Under the terms of the contract governing this relationship, neither party has given the other exclusivity in terms of services, and either party can terminate upon ten days' notice. In general, we pay a transaction fee for each ACH and check transaction processed by Wells Fargo. Pricing is schedule-based, depending on a number of factors, including domestic or international location, the total volume of payments and other factors. We are required to keep a minimum of $10.0 million on account with Wells Fargo in order to obtain Wells Fargo's ACH processing services. Until December 2001, this requirement was met by holding sufficient customer funds as agent in a pooled account at Wells Fargo. The requirement is now met by pledging securities owned by PayPal and held in a brokerage account at Wells Fargo. These securities, as of December 15, 2001, have a fair market value of $10.7 million and will be accounted for as restricted investments. Although we maintain a good working relationship with Wells Fargo, we continue to examine all of our options for ACH processing, especially in terms of specialty processing such as international payments.

    Bank of America

        As we expand the ability of customers in countries outside the U.S. to withdraw funds from the PayPal system to their local bank accounts, and to fund their PayPal transactions from their local bank accounts, we anticipate using Bank of America to process these bank account transfers. We expect to pay a transaction fee based on the country involved, the total volume of payments and other factors.

    First Data

        In October 2000, we launched the PayPal ATM/debit card to qualifying PayPal members through an arrangement with MasterCard International and with First Data Resources, Inc., which provides our debit card processing services. The PayPal ATM/debit card allows qualified PayPal account holders to access their account balances from any ATM connected to the Cirrus or Maestro networks and at any merchant that accepts MasterCard. We recently launched a "virtual" debit card which allows any customer with a PayPal account balance to use that balance at online merchants that accept MasterCard. Under the terms of the contract governing this relationship, First Data agreed to certain minimum uptime and other detailed service level requirements. We, in turn, agreed to use First Data exclusively for processing of debit card transactions. We also agreed to remain eligible for sponsorship by a "sponsor bank," which is, in our case, BankOne Indiana, N.A. We pay First Data fees on a per-transaction, rather than percentage, basis. In all years after the first year of the contract, we are required to pay First Data a minimum fee, even if the volume of transactions processed by First Data would yield a lower amount. Additionally, we agreed to obtain a letter of credit for the benefit of First Data as collateral to cover its settlement risk with the sponsoring bank. We have pledged a certificate of deposit as security for the letter of credit. If our debit card transaction volume increases, First Data may require us to increase the letter of credit to the average amount of PayPal debit card transactions in recent 4-day periods. If First Data were to exercise this right up to the maximum amount based on debit card volumes as of December 1, 2001, we would be required to increase the size of the letter of credit, which is currently $2.0 million, by approximately $5.3 million. We would also need to increase the size of the certificate of deposit, which is classified as restricted cash, by the same amount. If the volume decreases, or First Data's settlement risk otherwise decreases, we have the right to request, but not to require, a corresponding reduction in the letter of credit. This agreement, which has a five-year term, expires on November 1, 2005.

    Visa and MasterCard

        We do not have any direct contractual relationship with Visa or MasterCard other than an agreement relating to our participation in MasterCard's Remote Payment and Presentment Service for online bill payment. As a merchant that accepts Visa and MasterCard credit cards, however, we are subject to, and must comply with, the operating rules of the Visa and MasterCard credit card associations. Under these operating rules, in cases of fraud or disputes between senders and recipients in transactions involving Visa or MasterCard cards, we face charge-backs when cardholders dispute items for which they have been billed. Because we are not a bank, we are not eligible to belong to the credit card associations. As a result, we must rely on banks that are members of these associations or their independent service organizations to process our transactions, to challenge charge-backs on our behalf where appropriate, to inform us of changes to Visa and MasterCard operating rules, and to communicate with the Visa and MasterCard associations on our behalf.

        In late 2000, MasterCard indicated it would terminate PayPal's ability to accept MasterCard cards for payment if we did not change some of our practices and procedures immediately. We and our credit card processor had a series of meetings with MasterCard to discuss how to bring our practices and procedures into compliance. As a result of those meetings, we made changes to our system that we believe resolved MasterCard's concerns, but MasterCard has not communicated to us that its concerns have been fully resolved. In 2001, Visa informed our credit card processor that some of our practices violated its operating rules, and we made certain changes to our practices in response. In a letter dated January 25, 2002, Visa informed our credit card processor that three issues remain unresolved and, as a result, we were being fined $30,000. Specifically, Visa objected to our charging and immediately rebating international membership fees, and to our charging fees to international customers for payments that are funded using credit cards, but not for payments that are funded from balances in the PayPal system. Visa also objected to our practice of obtaining a card holder's single up-front authorization, rather than authorization on a transaction by transaction basis, to charge that card holder's Visa account in the event that the card holder requests an ACH transfer and that transfer fails. We are continuing our efforts to resolve Visa's concerns. Visa has not threatened to suspend, terminate or otherwise limit or restrict our ability to accept Visa, except to the extent that we may be required to change our current practices to resolve these three outstanding issues. As is the case with any merchant that Visa believes is violating its operating rules, however, Visa could terminate our ability to accept Visa cards for payment or levy additional fines against us if we do not resolve Visa's concerns.

    Providian

        In February 2001, we entered into a strategic relationship with Providian Bancorp Services. Under the terms of the agreement, Providian agrees to offer PayPal-branded Visa credit cards to our account holders and to cooperate with PayPal in developing the marketing for this program. When a PayPal member funds his account using the PayPal Visa card, Providian reimburses us for some of the credit card processing fees we incur, making the funding less costly for us. Additionally, whenever a PayPal Visa card is used at a merchant other than PayPal, we receive a share of Providian's transaction fee revenue. We agreed to make the Providian-issued credit card the exclusive U.S. credit card promoted in the registration process on the PayPal website, and not to sponsor or participate in any competing co-branded credit card product. Under the terms of the contract governing this relationship, Providian is responsible for legal compliance and loan underwriting decisions, and bears all the costs of issuing cards and underwriting the portfolio. The contract has a five-year term, but may be terminated early by either party if the percentage of credit card volume on the PayPal system from the PayPal-branded credit card is below certain thresholds, measured annually. Either party may also terminate the contract if the other party is acquired or is subject to a change of control. PayPal may terminate the contract,

61


subject to payment of an early termination fee, if PayPal is acquired. We are currently in discussions with Providian regarding a proposed amendment to the terms of our commercial relationship.

Competition

        The market for our product is emerging, intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. We compete with a number of companies, both directly in the email-based online payments market, and indirectly with traditional payment methods such as credit cards, checks, money orders and ACH transactions. In order to retain existing customers and attract new customers, we must offer an attractive combination of the following factors:

    Convenience.  Senders and recipients both prefer an easy-to-use payment system. We emphasized convenience in designing the process by which our customers open PayPal accounts and have streamlined the process of sending and receiving payments. In addition, our patent-pending account verification method allows us to authenticate users with a high degree of reliability, without the delay and inconvenience to customers of mailing or faxing documents. Some of our direct and indirect competitors, however, may have an advantage in encouraging buyers to use their product by allowing new customers to make payments without opening an account.

    Size of the Network.  Our network continues to grow relative to most of our direct competitors, and our size encourages usage by new customers. We believe that we have a significantly larger network of both senders and recipients than any of our direct online payment competitors. Some of our indirect competitors, including credit card products offered under the Visa and MasterCard brands, enjoy significantly wider adoption than we do.

    Price.  Subject to the other factors listed, users generally will use the lowest cost payment system. Our product is free for users to send payments, and we have set the fees we charge to business accounts to receive payments at rates that we believe are lower than most new or small businesses could obtain if they sought to accept credit cards directly. Some of our direct competitors in the online payment market charge lower fees than we do, including Citibank's c2it, which currently makes its product available for free to senders and recipients within the U.S.

    Security and Privacy.  We have addressed and continue to address security and privacy concerns in designing the PayPal system, which we believe builds user confidence and drives growth. In particular, for a buyer deciding whether to pay an unfamiliar seller through PayPal or directly by credit card, PayPal offers the advantage of keeping the buyer's credit card information secret from the merchant. Our direct competitors, however, provide the same feature.

    Brand Recognition.  While we enjoy strong brand recognition in our market, many current and potential competitors have established long-standing relationships with their users. Many of our competitors, including credit card products under the Visa and MasterCard brands, enjoy significantly greater brand recognition than do we. Also, our direct competitor Billpoint recently changed the marketing name for its products to eBay Payments.

    Customer Service.  We have strengthened our customer support network by establishing a large customer call center. We believe that our commitment to customer service helps us attract and retain customers. Although we have devoted substantial resources to customer service, some of our competitors, including c2it, enjoy the backing of large financial institutions with the ability to devote significantly more resources to customer service than could we.

    Timing of Payments.  When buyers and sellers are in different locations, the PayPal product offers buyers a fast method of completing payment, and offers sellers the ability to know that the buyer has sent the payment more quickly than waiting for cash, a check or a money order to arrive in the mail. This knowledge often allows sellers, in particular those who do not accept credit cards,

62


      to deliver their goods or services more quickly, which in turn encourages customer use of PayPal. Most PayPal payments are credited instantly to the recipient's PayPal account, and the recipient may then use those funds to pay others or may choose to withdraw them. PayPal's direct competitors offer equivalent advantages in processing speed compared to cash, checks or money orders by mail, and also allow customers to transfer funds to their bank accounts as fast or, in some cases, faster than do we. However, our Shop Anywhere feature and the large number of individuals and businesses that accept PayPal allow recipients to use funds immediately upon receipt to make online purchases, and provide us a competitive advantage over our direct competitors in this respect. Our debit card also allows select merchants to use the funds they receive through PayPal at ATMs and at merchants that accept MasterCard, without waiting for funds to be transferred to their bank account.

        We anticipate continued challenges from current competitors, who may enjoy greater resources, as well as by new entrants into the industry. Our direct competitors include:

    eBay Payments,  which is owned jointly by eBay and Wells Fargo, and which enjoys the strong eBay brand name and can gain market share rapidly by directly accessing their existing auction customer base. Their ability to integrate with eBay auctions could allow them to offer new and convenient features; and

    Citibank's c2it,  which has received significant marketing support in the form of distribution agreements with AOL and Microsoft.

        MasterCard recently announced a new online payment service in conjunction with CertaPay, and Visa has also expressed interest in developing an online email-based payment product for use by its members. Yahoo!, the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union also offer payment services similar to ours, although to date they have not achieved wide acceptance. Potential direct competitors, should they decide to enter the market, may include CheckFree and American Express. We compete indirectly with credit card products offered under the Visa and MasterCard brands, which enjoy significant brand recognition and marketing resources, and with merchant processors, such as First Data and VeriSign, which assist online merchants in accepting credit cards. We also compete indirectly with online wallets such as Microsoft's Passport.

        Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, greater name recognition or a larger base of customers in affiliated businesses than we have. For example, Citigroup's c2it has existing arrangements with AOL Time Warner and Microsoft. c2it could use these arrangements to market directly its competing payment product to the customers of AOL Time Warner and Microsoft, which could result in c2it gaining substantial market share in a short period of time.

Intellectual Property

        We protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secrets laws and through the domain name dispute resolution system. In order to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information, all of our employees have signed confidentiality and invention assignment arrangements, and we enter into nondisclosure agreements with third parties. We cannot provide assurance that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights, however, will deter adequately infringement or misappropriation of those rights. Particularly given the international nature of the Internet, the rate of growth of the Internet and the ease of registering new domain names, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or take enforcement action.

        In particular, we have applied to register the "PayPal" service mark in the U.S. and Canada and we have obtained registration of the PayPal mark in the European Community, Japan and China. We

63



also have applied to register the service marks "X.com," "You've Got Money" and "You've Got Cash" in the U.S. America Online, Inc. has filed an opposition to the latter two applications. We have registered the domain name "www.paypal.com" for ten years and various related domain names for periods ranging from two to ten years and have filed to protect our rights to the PayPal name in the new ".biz" and ".info" top level domains that became operational in Fall 2001.

        We have applied in the U.S. and certain other countries for five patents. These patent applications cover our core system of transferring value from point to point between two users of a communications network that are not linked directly, our technology to detect suspicious patterns of transactions, our process of verifying a customer's control of the bank account he has registered with PayPal, our process of enabling merchants to integrate PayPal into their websites or online auctions, and our process for obtaining an alternate payment method from the customer if the customer's primary payment method fails. We cannot predict whether the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, will issue these patents in their requested form or whether these patents will be valid even if issued.

        Whether or not the PTO issues us patents, third parties may claim that we have infringed upon their patents or misappropriated or infringed on other proprietary rights. These claims and any resultant litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages. In addition, even if we prevail, the litigation could be time consuming and expensive to defend and could affect our business materially and adversely. Any claims or litigation from third parties may also result in limitations on our ability to use the service marks, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, and other intellectual property subject to these claims or litigation, unless we enter into license agreements with the third parties. However, these agreements may be unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, or not available at all.

    Tumbleweed Communications Corp.

        On January 22, 2002, we received a letter from Tumbleweed Communications Corp. The letter states that Tumbleweed is the owner of two U.S. patents: U.S. Patent Number 5,790,790, entitled "Electronic Document Delivery System in Which Notification of Said Electronic Document is Sent to a Recipient Thereof," and U.S. Patent Number 6,192,407, entitled "Private, Trackable URLs For Directed Document Delivery." The letter also states that "[Tumbleweed's] understanding of [PayPal's] online payment product leads [Tumbleweed] to believe that [we] require a license under the '790 and '407 patents."

        We believe that Tumbleweed's assertions are without merit. We believe that our service does not infringe the patents and that we therefore do not require a license.

        Despite our belief that our service does not infringe either patent, we cannot assure you that we would prevail if Tumbleweed were to sue us for infringement of either patent. If any portions of our service were found to be infringing either patent, and if we were unwilling or unable to obtain a license on terms acceptable to Tumbleweed, then we would likely be unable to continue to offer those portions of our service found to be infringing. We could also then be required to pay damages for past infringing use, possibly Tumbleweed's attorneys' fees, and possibly treble damages. This could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

    CertCo, Inc.

        On February 5, 2002, we learned that CertCo, Inc. filed a lawsuit on February 4, 2002 for patent infringement against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (CertCo, Inc. v. PayPal, Inc., Case Number 02-CV-094).

        The complaint alleges that we are "directly infringing, contributing to the infringement of, or inducing others to infringe" CertCo's U.S. Patent Number 6,029,150 ("the '150 patent," entitled

64



"Payment and Transactions in Electronic Commerce System"), "by making, using, offering to sell, selling or inducing others to use [our] electronic payment and transaction system … in the United States…." The complaint additionally alleges that our alleged infringement "has been and continues to be deliberate and willful, … entitling CertCo to enhanced damages and reasonable attorneys' fees." The complaint further alleges that CertCo will suffer "irreparable injury" unless our "infringing conduct is preliminarily and permanently enjoined." The complaint includes a demand for a jury trial.

        The complaint requests the following relief from the Court: (a) a permanent injunction against our alleged infringement; (b) an award of damages for alleged past infringement, including pre- and post-judgment interest; (c) a judgment that we willfully infringed the patent, warranting a trebling of any awarded damages; (d) a judgment that this is an exceptional case, warranting an award to CertCo of its reasonable attorneys' fees; and (e) an award of CertCo's costs.

        Prior to CertCo's filing of this lawsuit, on February 2, 2002, our General Counsel received a letter from counsel for CertCo. The letter states that CertCo is the owner of the '150 patent. The letter further states that CertCo's counsel has analyzed PayPal's service and determined that it infringes one or more claims (including claims 18, 27, 30 and 32) of the '150 patent. Beyond that assertion, the only additional discussion in the letter of any specific claims is with respect to claim 30, as follows:

      For instance, claim 30 of the '150 patent recites an electronic payment system such as the one offered by PayPal. In that claim, PayPal would correspond to the agent mechanism. PayPal's customers access their respective account information and authorize payments using a secret password which they share with PayPal ("each customer mechanism sharing a respective secret with the agent mechanism"). PayPal users request payment by making a request to the agent (PayPal). The payment request identifies the customer (PayPal uses the customer's e-mail as a customer identifier) and requests payment of a specific amount from the customer to another entity (which may or may not be a PayPal customer). PayPal (the agent) cannot determine whether the payment request was made based on any customer/payee interaction (so the PayPal payment request is "indistinguishable from a communication which was generated solely by the customer without any customer/merchant interaction"). PayPal then issues a payment message based on the payment request from the PayPal user, the user's password and other information (such as the user's account balance) which the agent knows.

        The letter also alleges that we are inducing infringement by providing our service on auction sites such as eBay. CertCo's counsel demands in the letter that we cease and desist from alleged further infringement and account to CertCo for damages resulting from our offering of allegedly infringing services.

        A patent's claims define the scope of the invention covered by the patent. In order to assert its patent against us, CertCo must prove that our service infringes at least one claim of its patent. In order to prove direct infringement of any single claim, CertCo must prove that all of the elements of the claim, or their equivalent, are performed by our service. If any element of a claim is not performed, literally or equivalently, by our service, our service cannot infringe the claim.

        In analyzing CertCo's patent, we have noted that all of the patent's claims have as an element that a system send an "authenticated" or "verifiable" "payment advice message." But our service does not send either "authenticated" or "verifiable" "payment advice messages." For this reason, among other reasons that may exist, we believe that we do not infringe CertCo's patent, and that CertCo's assertions are without merit.

        Despite our belief that our service does not infringe CertCo's patent, we cannot assure you that we will prevail against CertCo in its lawsuit alleging infringement of its '150 patent. Even if we prevail, the litigation could be time consuming and expensive to defend and could affect our business materially and adversely. If any portions of our service were found to be infringing the patent, and if we were

65


unwilling or unable to obtain a license on terms acceptable to CertCo, then we would likely be unable to continue to offer those portions of our service found to be infringing. We could also then be required to pay damages for past infringing use, possibly CertCo's attorneys' fees, and possibly treble damages. This could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

        Additionally, CertCo could ask the court to issue a preliminary injunction against some or all of our services at any time before trial. If the court issued a preliminary injunction, we would be unable to continue to offer those portions of our service enjoined by the court. This also could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulation

    Money Transmitter Laws

        More than 40 states in the U.S. regulate bill payers, money transmitters, check sellers, issuers of payment instruments or similar non-bank payment businesses, which we refer to collectively as "money services businesses." The states enacted most of these statutes before the Internet emerged as a commercial forum, and the application of these statutes to online payment service providers has not been interpreted by courts or regulatory authorities. Based on the specific provisions of many of these state statutes, we believe that money services regulations cover our business only in our home state of California. In other states, we believe the nature of our services or our fee structure exclude us from the statutes' licensing requirements and money services regulation.

        Our analysis is subject to significant uncertainty, however, and we cannot assure you that state regulators and courts will agree with our interpretations. We initially contacted regulatory authorities in the 31 states, including the District of Columbia, that we believed were subject to the greatest uncertainty, to describe our service and state the basis for our belief that their current statutes do not apply to our product. Eight states did not reply to our inquiries. Based on the replies we received, without retracting our analysis, we have obtained money transmitter licenses in Oregon and West Virginia, and we have applied or are preparing applications for money transmitter licenses in four other states—Maine, Maryland, Nebraska and Virginia—and in the District of Columbia. We also filed an application in California in July 2000 for a license to operate as a transmitter of money abroad. After discussions with the California Department of Financial Institutions, we filed a new application in November 2001. While our application is pending, we have agreed to suspend money transfer payments, but not payments for goods or services, from U.S. accounts to international accounts in the eleven countries where international customers can make electronic funds transfer withdrawals to their local bank accounts. In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, such payments constituted less than 0.5% of our total payment dollar volume.

        Even if all of these state license applications are ultimately granted, state regulatory authorities have the ability to impose fines and other penalties for the period of time we provided services without a license to residents of those states that require us to have a license. Under the recently enacted International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001, or IML Act, we could be subject to federal civil and criminal penalties if we are deemed to be operating without an appropriate money transmitting license in a state where such operation is punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony under state law. We have not to date been fined or received notice of fines or other penalties under state or federal money transmitter laws.

        Because of the ambiguity in many states' laws and the potential for new legislation or regulatory interpretations, we monitor changes in state law and the regulatory environment to consider whether additional inquiries or licensing are required. Based on our most recent review of state law amendments and enactments in 2001, we have made new or further inquiries or are preparing to file applications for money transmitter licenses in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Louisiana,

66



Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas and Vermont. On February 6, 2002, Louisiana regulatory authorities said that they will not grant a money transmitter license to us, however, until they have determined the separate issue of whether our service constitutes an unauthorized banking business under Louisiana law.

        Because we have money transmitter licenses in Oregon and West Virginia and expect to obtain other state money services business licenses, we must file periodic reports with state regulators, maintain minimum bonds or levels of capital, ensure that we hold customer funds only in liquid and highly rated investments and provide notice or receive advance approval of any change in control of PayPal. The minimum bonding or capitalization requirements vary from state to state but do not currently exceed $2.0 million in the aggregate. State money services business regulators examine us for compliance with these laws and as to the safety and soundness of our operations and financial condition.

    Bank Regulation

        We do not require customers to keep funds in our system in order to use our product. We give U.S.-based customers the option of automatically sweeping any funds in the system into the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund, as well as moving funds out of the system by electronic funds transfer, PayPal ATM/debit card or check. Funds held outside the Fund do not earn any return. Our user agreement states that we act as an agent and custodian on behalf of our customers in moving monies at their direction, that we must keep customer funds separate from our corporate funds, that we may not lend out customer funds or use customer funds for corporate expenses, and that we will not voluntarily make customer funds available to creditors. We also have established relationships with four banks under which PayPal places customer funds outside of the Money Market Reserve Fund into bank accounts, and thus we do not have discretion in the management of customer funds.

        In response to our contacts with state regulatory authorities in the summer of 2000 regarding the applicability of money transmitter laws, and our application in California in July 2000 for a money transmitter license, regulatory authorities in New York and Louisiana stated their view that the ability of our customers to leave amounts on account with us for future transfer represented the conduct of a banking business, and authorities in California and Idaho questioned whether we were engaged in a banking business. We received written communications to this effect from these authorities in the summer of 2000 and, in the case of Idaho, in January 2001. Because we are not licensed as a bank, we are not permitted to engage in a banking business. In an effort to address these states' concerns, we have taken three principal steps:

    as described above, we changed our user agreement and the management of our customer's funds so that we act as the agent for the customer in placing their money in bank accounts, rather than acting as the holder of our customers' funds;

    we are seeking an advisory opinion from the FDIC to the effect that we are not taking deposits; and

    we have added the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund option for users who choose to carry balances.

        We have written reply letters with supporting legal analysis to these states. We have not received any written communications from these states on banking issues since their original written communication other than requests for copies of materials mentioned in our letters. We have been in recent contact with the staffs of each of these regulatory authorities. Other than in their initial correspondence, none of these authorities have taken or threatened regulatory action against us for engaging in an unauthorized banking business. However, California, New York and Louisiana have indicated that they are continuing to review our analysis and are also awaiting action by the FDIC on

67



our opinion request. We cannot provide any assurance that the steps we have taken will be sufficient to address these states' concerns.

        If we were found to be subject to and in violation of any banking laws or regulations, we could be subject to liability, which in some states may include high fines for each day of non compliance, or forced to cease doing business with residents of certain states or to change our business practices. Even if we are not forced to change our business practices, we could be required to obtain licenses or regulatory approvals that could impose a substantial cost on us.

    International

        We offer our product to customers with a credit card in 36 countries outside the U.S. We offer our product from the U.S., in English, and in U.S. dollars. Our status as a bank, regulated financial institution or other regulated business in various foreign countries is unclear. We are working with foreign legal counsel to identify and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Some of the foreign countries where we offer our product regulate banks, financial institutions and other businesses and operate under legal systems that could apply those laws to our business even though we do not have a physical presence in those countries. For example, under the laws of France, we could be required to add special features to our product or contract with a French bank in order to serve customers located in France. Violations of these rules could result in civil and criminal penalties.

        Under the IML Act, we may be required to obtain additional information, maintain records and file reports regarding any business we conduct with residents of jurisdictions that are identified by the Secretary of the Treasury as being of primary money laundering concern. We currently allow residents of Israel, which has been identified by the Financial Action Task Force as being non-cooperative on money laundering matters, to use PayPal, although we do not allow Israeli customers to withdraw funds to non-U.S. bank accounts. The Secretary of the Treasury, however, is not required to rely on the Financial Action Task Force list in identifying countries of primary money laundering concern, and could identify additional countries whose residents currently can do business with us as being of primary money laundering concern. We have implemented procedures, and are strengthening those procedures, to use Internet Protocol addresses to identify customers who try to access PayPal from countries that are not on our approved list.

    Consumer Protection

        We are subject to state and federal consumer protection laws, including laws protecting the privacy of consumer non-public information, prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices, requiring specific disclosures and procedures with respect to formation of electronic contracts such as the PayPal User Agreement, and regarding electronic fund transfers. In particular, under federal and state financial privacy laws and regulations, we must provide notice to consumers of our policies on sharing non-public information with third parties, must provide advance notice of any changes to our policies and, with limited exceptions, must give consumers the right to prevent sharing of their non-public personal information with unaffiliated third parties. Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, we are required to disclose the terms of our electronic fund transfer services to consumers prior to their use of the service, to provide 21 days advance notice of material changes, to establish specific error resolution procedures and timetables and to limit customer liability for transactions that are not authorized by the consumer. We believe we have appropriate procedures in place for compliance with these consumer protection laws, but many issues regarding delivery of notices and disclosures over the Internet have not yet been addressed by the federal and state agencies charged with interpreting the applicable laws.

        In doing business with residents of countries outside the U.S., we also may be subject to consumer protection laws of those countries, including data protection laws that are more restrictive than

68



financial privacy laws in the U.S. We continue to work with foreign legal counsel to identify and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

    Money Laundering

        As a money services business we are subject to state and federal laws prohibiting the knowing transmission of the proceeds of criminal activities or funds intended for use in a criminal transaction. We are subject also to regulations of the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, requiring reporting and record keeping of various transactions. All PayPal transactions are recorded and documented, and we believe we have appropriate processes in place for compliance with these regulations. However, FinCEN has not issued any specific guidance regarding the application of its regulations to Internet payment services. Even if we comply with these requirements, federal and state law enforcement agencies could seize customer funds in PayPal accounts that are traceable to suspected criminal activities. The IML Act has also increased the civil and criminal penalties for money laundering violations to an amount not less than two times the amount of the transactions in question, up to a maximum of $1.0 million per occurrence.

        The FinCEN regulations require money services businesses, such as our business, to register with the Treasury Department and to report suspicious transactions involving a payment or series of related payments of $2,000 or more. We have filed for registration with the Treasury Department and have commenced filing suspicious activity reports. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, 0.1% of our transactions and 6.5% of the volume of payments we processed represented transactions of $2,000 or more. We have developed and deployed, and continue to develop, proprietary systems and procedures to comply with these regulations. Under the IML Act, all financial institutions are required to implement anti money-laundering procedures by no later than April 24, 2002 that include, at a minimum:

    the development of internal policies, procedures, and controls;

    the designation of a compliance officer;

    an ongoing employee training program; and

    an independent audit function to test programs.

        We believe that compliance with this requirement will not require material modifications to our existing compliance plans.

        Under the IML Act, the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to enact regulations, by no later than October 26, 2002, setting forth minimum standards for financial institutions to determine the identity of their customers in connection with the opening of an account. The regulations shall, at a minimum, require financial institutions to implement reasonable procedures for:

    verifying the identity of any person seeking to open an account to the extent reasonable and practicable;

    maintaining records of the information used to verify a person's identity, including name, address, and other identifying information; and

    consulting lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided by U.S. government agencies to determine whether a person seeking to open an account appears on any such list.

        We have procedures in place to confirm the identity of persons who open a PayPal account, to maintain records of the information used, and to consult lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations prior to opening an account. The regulations to be adopted by the Secretary of

69



the Treasury may require us to revise these procedures or adopt additional procedures. We will not be able to evaluate the potential impact of the new law until these regulations are proposed.

    PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund

        The PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund is a series of PayPal Funds, a Delaware business trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-end investment company. The PayPal Funds are governed by a Board of Trustees. The investment adviser and transfer agent for the Fund is PayPal Asset Management, Inc., or PAMI, a wholly owned subsidiary of PayPal, Inc. For its services, PAMI is paid a fee by PayPal Funds, although we are currently waiving the fee. The Fund currently pursues its investment objectives by investing all of its assets in a Money Market Master Portfolio advised by Barclays Global Fund Advisors.

        Our website offers our customers the opportunity to invest in shares of the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund. In most cases, only a registered broker-dealer is legally permitted to solicit for purchases of securities, such as the shares of this Fund, or otherwise to facilitate securities transactions. We have engaged an independent registered broker-dealer that is named on our website to formally offer shares of the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund. That broker-dealer also provides various other services that otherwise could subject us to broker-dealer regulation if we performed them without the involvement of a registered broker-dealer. If we no longer were able to retain the services of a broker-dealer or if a regulatory authority decides to take action against us because our activities include those required to be performed by a registered broker-dealer, notwithstanding our use of an independent registered broker-dealer, we might not be able to offer our customers the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund and we could be subject to criminal and civil penalties and adverse publicity. Regulatory authorities in Idaho believe that we are subject to registration in Idaho as a broker-dealer because we offer our customers the opportunity to invest in shares of the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund through our website. As a result, we may not be able to offer this option to our customers residing in Idaho and may be subject to penalties.

        PAMI is registered with the SEC as a transfer agent and investment adviser. As a result, it is required to comply with detailed regulations intended to ensure, among other things, that the assets of the Money Market Reserve Fund are invested only in securities consistent with the investment criteria of the Fund. We believe that we have appropriate experienced personnel and processes in place for compliance with these requirements and also have subcontracted some administrative services to a company with expertise in mutual fund administration.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2001, we had 618 full-time employees: 198 at our Palo Alto, California corporate headquarters, 418 at our operations and customer service center in Omaha, Nebraska, and two at our business development office in London. None of our employees is represented by collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced any work stoppages and believe our relationship with our employees to be good.

Facilities

        We lease our corporate headquarters in Palo Alto, California, which consist of 22,000 square feet. We recently signed a lease for 50,000 square feet of office space in Mountain View, California, and anticipate moving our corporate headquarters to that location in the second quarter of 2002. We lease our customer service and operations facilities in Omaha, Nebraska, which consist of 37,000 square feet. We also lease a 1,400 square foot office in London, England. We believe our existing facilities will suffice for our anticipated future needs.

Legal Proceedings

        From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, we believe that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on us.

Hurd's appointment to the board of directors in March 2000 was a condition to the obligation of various investors, including Madison Dearborn Partners, to complete their investment in our Series C Preferred Stock; and we agreed to appoint Shailesh J. Mehta to our board of directors in February 2001 as an inducement for Providian Bancorp Services to complete their investment in our Series D Preferred Stock and enter into the credit card alliance agreement with us. We have completed our obligations under these agreements by appointing these individuals to our board of directors. As a result, when each of Messrs. Moritz's, Malloy's, Hurd's and Mehta's term of office expires, or in the event of their resignation or removal, we are not obligated to nominate or re-elect these individuals or any other representatives of their affiliated investors to our board of directors.

Board Composition

        Our board of directors currently consists of seven members. All directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Effective upon closing of this offering, we will divide the terms of office of the directors into three classes:

    Class I, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2003;

    Class II, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2004; and

    Class III, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2005.

        Upon the closing of this offering, Class I shall consist of Timothy M. Hurd and Shailesh J. Mehta; Class II shall consist of John C. Dean, John A. Malloy and Michael J. Moritz; and Class III shall consist of Peter A. Thiel, Max R. Levchin and Elon R. Musk. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the initial classification or special meeting in lieu thereof, the successors to directors whose terms will then expire serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election or special meeting held in lieu thereof and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. In addition, a resolution of the board of directors or affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the company's outstanding voting stock may change the authorized number of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one third of the directors. This classification of the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our company.

        There are no family relationships among any of our directors, executive officers or key employees.

74


Board Committees

        Our board of directors has an audit committee and a compensation committee.

        Audit committee.    The audit committee of our board of directors recommends the appointment of our independent auditors, reviews our internal accounting procedures and financial statements and consults with and reviews the services provided by our internal and independent auditors, including the results and scope of their audit. The audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Mehta, Moritz and Musk.

        Compensation committee.    The compensation committee of our board of directors reviews and recommends to the board the compensation and benefits of all of our executive officers, administers our stock option plans and establishes and reviews general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees. The compensation committee currently consists of Messrs. Dean, Hurd and Malloy.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        None of the members of our compensation committee at any time has been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee. Our full board of directors made all compensation decisions prior to the creation of our compensation committee.

Director Compensation

        Our directors do not receive any cash compensation for their services as directors or members of committees of the board of directors, but we reimburse them for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of the board of directors. Our directors may participate in our stock option plans and employee-directors may participate in our employee stock purchase plan. In December 2001, we granted options to purchase 50,000 shares at $6.00 per share to both Messrs. Mehta and Dean. In January 2002, we granted options to purchase 50,000 shares at $12.00 per share to each of Messrs. Hurd, Malloy, Moritz and Musk. These option grants vest monthly over three years.

75


Executive Compensation

        The following table sets forth all compensation paid by us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 to (i) our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) our four most highly compensated officers whose total annual salary and bonus exceeded $100,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. It also includes two individuals who acted as CEO during the year ended December 31, 2000 and one individual who would have been one of the most highly compensated except that he was not serving as an executive officer as of December 31, 2000. We refer to these executives as the named executive officers elsewhere in this prospectus.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

        The following table sets forth information regarding stock options we granted during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to the named executive officers. We granted options to purchase common stock equal to a total of 3,066,926 shares during 2001. Potential realizable values are net of exercise price before taxes, and are based on the assumption that our common stock appreciates at the annual rate shown, compounded annually, from the date of grant until the expiration of the ten-year term. These numbers are calculated based on SEC requirements and do not reflect our projection or estimate of future stock price growth.

Employment Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements

        We routinely deliver written offer letters containing provisions on salary, bonuses, benefits and stock option grants to prospective members of management and other employees. Pursuant to the terms of an offer letter dated January 2000, we agreed to pay Todd R. Pearson an annual salary of $120,000, a one time bonus of $35,000, and up to $6,000 per year in medical expenses. In addition, we agreed to grant Mr. Pearson an option to purchase 40,000 shares under our 1999 Stock Plan, which shares are subject to standard vesting unless there is a change in control of PayPal, in which case the vesting will accelerate by one year.

        We currently have non-competition agreements with Peter A. Thiel, Max R. Levchin, Bill H. Harris and Elon R. Musk. These agreements expire on March 30, 2002.

    Restricted Stock Agreements

        For a description of the change of control provisions contained in certain restricted stock agreements with our executive officers, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."

    Class A Stock

        For a description of the change of control provisions applicable to the Class A Stock beneficially owned by Peter A. Thiel, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."

Stock Plans

    1999 Stock Plan

        Our board of directors adopted the 1999 Stock Plan in March 1999, and our stockholders approved the plan in May 1999. The plan allows us to issue awards of incentive or nonqualified stock options or restricted stock. Our employees and consultants are eligible to receive awards under the plan, but only employees may receive incentive stock options. We have reserved a total of 4,677,733 shares of our common stock for issuance under the plan. The plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee of our board appointed by the board to administer the plan. The board of directors or the committee administering the plan selects the participants who will receive awards and determines the terms and conditions of such awards. Restricted stock is generally subject to a repurchase option in favor of PayPal exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the employee or consultant's relationship with us for any reason.

        In the event of certain corporate transactions, such as a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our company, the plan provides that each outstanding award will be assumed or replaced with a comparable award by our successor company or its parent. If the successor company or its parent does not assume or replace the awards, all unvested awards will terminate. In connection with a change in control, with respect to unvested options, the plan administrator may also (1) provide that the outstanding awards must be exercised on or before a specified date, after which the awards will terminate or (2) provide for payment to the participant of cash or other property with a fair market value equal to the amount that would have been received upon the exercise or payment of the award had the award been exercised or paid immediately prior to the change in control.

        All options granted under our 1999 Stock Plan become subject to accelerated vesting if a change of control of PayPal occurs. In the event of a change of control, the lesser of (1) 25.0% of the total number of shares subject to the option or (2) the remaining unvested options will vest immediately.

78



    Confinity 1999 Stock Plan

        In connection with our merger with Confinity in March 2000, we assumed all of the 1,207,583 outstanding options under the Confinity 1999 Stock Plan. These options are now exercisable for shares of our common stock. This plan was adopted by Confinity's board of directors in February 1999 and Confinity's stockholders approved the plan in March 1999. No additional options have been or will be issued under the plan. The plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee of our board appointed by the board to administer the plan.

        In the event of certain corporate transactions, such as a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our company, the plan provides that each outstanding award will be assumed or replaced with a comparable award by our successor company or its parent. If the successor company or its parent does not assume or replace the awards, outstanding options will become 100% vested and exercisable immediately.

        If an executive officer's employment is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination other than for cause within 12 months following a change of control, that executive officer's outstanding options will become 100% vested and exercisable immediately. Also in the event of a change of control, all outstanding options issued to our non-employee directors will become 100% vested and exercisable immediately.

        To the extent that options accelerate due to a corporate transaction, the restrictions on restricted stock will also lapse.

    2001 Equity Incentive Plan

        In September 2001, we adopted a 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our stockholders in December 2001. The plan allows us to issue awards of incentive or nonqualified stock options or restricted stock. Our employees, consultants and independent directors are eligible to receive awards under the plan, but only employees may receive incentive stock options. We have reserved a total of 9,500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the plan. The plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee of our board appointed by the board to administer the plan. The board of directors or the committee administering the plan selects the participants who will receive awards and determines the terms and conditions of such awards. Restricted stock is generally subject to a repurchase option in favor of PayPal exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the employee or consultant's relationship with us for any reason.

        In the event of certain corporate transactions, such as a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our company, the plan provides that each outstanding award will be assumed or replaced with a comparable award by our successor company or its parent. If the successor company or its parent does not assume or replace the awards, outstanding options will become 100% vested and exercisable immediately before the corporate transaction. To the extent that options accelerate due to a corporate transaction, the restrictions on restricted stock awards will also lapse. In the event of such a corporate transaction or a change in capitalization, the board of directors or the committee administering the plan also has the discretion to provide for the repurchase, replacement or termination of options or restricted stock where appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits we intend to provide under the plan.

    2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        In October 2001, we adopted a 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was approved by our stockholders in December 2001. The plan will become effective concurrently with the initial public offering of our common stock. The plan is designed to allow our eligible employees and the eligible

79


employees of our participating subsidiaries to purchase shares of common stock, at semi-annual intervals, with their accumulated payroll deductions.

        We will initially reserve 625,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the plan. The reserve will automatically increase on each anniversary date of the adoption of the plan by the board of directors during the term of the plan by an amount equal to the lesser of (1) 1,000,000 shares, (2) 1.0% of the Company's outstanding shares on such date or (3) a lesser amount determined by the board of directors.

        The plan will have a series of successive 24-month offering periods. The first offering period will commence on the effective date of this offering.

        Individuals scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week for more than five calendar months per year may join an offering period on the first day of the offering period or the beginning of any semi-annual purchase period within that period. Individuals who become eligible employees after the start date of an offering period may join the plan at the beginning of any subsequent semi-annual purchase period.

        Participants may contribute up to 20.0% of their cash earnings through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each semi-annual purchase date. The purchase price per share will be equal to 85.0% of the fair market value per share on the participant's entry date into the offering period or, if lower, 85.0% of the fair market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date.

        If the fair market value per share of our common stock on any purchase date is less than the fair market value per share on the start date of the two-year offering period, then that offering period will automatically terminate, and a new 24-month offering period will begin on the next business day. All participants in the terminated offering will be transferred to the new offering period.

        In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or our merger with or into another company, the outstanding rights under the plan will be assumed or an equivalent right substituted by the successor company or its parent. If the successor company or its parent refuses to assume the outstanding rights or substitute an equivalent right, then all outstanding purchase rights will automatically be exercised prior to the effective date of the transaction. The purchase price will be equal to 85.0% of the market value per share on the participant's entry date into the offering period in which an acquisition occurs or, if lower, 85.0% of the fair market value per share on the date the purchase rights are exercised.

        The plan will terminate no later than the tenth anniversary of the plan's initial adoption by the board of directors.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

        As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

    any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

    any act or omission not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

80


    any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the full extent permitted under Delaware law.

        As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our bylaws provide that:

    we may indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions;

    we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions; and

    the rights provided in our bylaws are not exclusive.

        We have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers which may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also may require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors' and officers' insurance if available on reasonable terms.

        At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

        We have purchased a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances.

Board Committees

        Our board of directors has an audit committee and a compensation committee.

        Audit committee.    The audit committee of our board of directors recommends the appointment of our independent auditors, reviews our internal accounting procedures and financial statements and consults with and reviews the services provided by our internal and independent auditors, including the results and scope of their audit. The audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Mehta, Moritz and Musk.

        Compensation committee.    The compensation committee of our board of directors reviews and recommends to the board the compensation and benefits of all of our executive officers, administers our stock option plans and establishes and reviews general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees. The compensation committee currently consists of Messrs. Dean, Hurd and Malloy.

81



CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        Since our inception, there has not been, nor is there currently planned, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are a party in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 and in which any director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of our immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest other than agreements which are described under the caption "Management" and the transactions described below.

Providian

        In February 2001, we entered into a strategic partnership with Providian Financial, the fifth largest bankcard issuer in the U.S. Under the terms of the partnership, we offer Providian-issued, PayPal-branded Visa cards to our account holders. In February 2001, Providian purchased 3,333,333 shares of our Series D Preferred stock at a per share price of $3.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000. These shares will convert into 833,333 shares of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering. Shailesh J. Mehta, the former chief executive officer of Providian, is a member of our board of directors.

Common Stock

        In January 1999, Confinity sold 5,200,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.001 per share to the following executive officers. These shares were converted into our common stock in connection with our merger with Confinity at the merger exchange ratio. The following table summarizes the shares of common stock purchased by these executive officers as adjusted for the merger exchange ratio:

Name of Officer/Director

  Number of Shares of Common Stock
Peter A. Thiel   858,778
Max R. Levchin   1,717,556
Reid G. Hoffman   50,516

        The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Levchin remain subject to a repurchase right held by us and other restrictions. Of these shares, 343,513 were released from this repurchase right on the grant date, and the repurchase right on the remaining shares lapses at a rate of 28,626 shares per month. The repurchase right on all shares will be fully lapsed on December 31, 2003. The repurchase options on the shares issued to Mr. Thiel and Mr. Hoffman have already lapsed.

        In October 2001, we granted an option under our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan to purchase 450,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.20 per share to Mr. Levchin. We extended a full recourse loan to Mr. Levchin in the amount of $780,000 at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum, conditioned on Mr. Levchin's use of $540,000 of the proceeds of the loan to exercise his option to purchase 450,000 shares. These shares were pledged as collateral for the repayment of the loan. The loan has a term of four years, with interest compounding annually, and is not pre-payable.

        In March 1999, we sold 1,350,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.0132 per share to Elon R. Musk. Mr. Musk is currently a member of our board of directors. The shares of common stock issued to Mr. Musk were subject to a repurchase option held by us and other restrictions. In connection with Mr. Musk's termination of employment as our CEO, we exercised our right to repurchase any unvested shares, as described below under "—Separation Agreements."

        In May 1999, we sold 150,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.132 per share to Mr. Musk. These shares of common stock were subject to a repurchase option held by us and other restrictions. In connection with Mr. Musk's termination of employment with us, we exercised our right to repurchase any unvested shares, as described below under "—Separation Agreements."

82



Preferred Stock

        In February 1999, Confinity issued and sold an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a per share price of approximately $0.20 to investors for an aggregate consideration of $0.5 million. In June and August 1999, Confinity issued and sold 12,000,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock to investors at a per share price of $0.375 for an aggregate consideration of $4.5 million. In January and February 2000, Confinity issued and sold an aggregate of 9,166,664 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock at a per share price of $1.20 for an aggregate consideration of $11.0 million. These shares were converted into 5,051,627, 24,247,842 and 18,522,653 shares of Series AA, Series BB and Series CC preferred stock, respectively, in connection with our merger with Confinity in March 2000. The following table summarizes the shares of preferred stock purchased by Confinity's executive officers, directors and 5% stockholders and persons associated with them, as adjusted for the merger exchange ratio.

Thiel, our Chief Executive Officer, received a beneficial interest in these 4,500,000 shares. These shares of Class A Stock are subject to a repurchase option held by us and other restrictions. As to 1,687,500 of those shares, 1,031,250 shares have been released from the repurchase option as of November 1, 2001. We have a right to repurchase up to all 656,250 remaining shares of those 1,687,500 shares at any time, for an amount equal to the price paid for the shares. This repurchase right lapses at a rate of 93,750 shares per month, expiring completely in June 2002. In the event of a change of control, any of such 656,250 shares which are then still subject to repurchase restrictions will be released from the repurchase restrictions.

Upon the closing of this offering, these shares of Class A Stock will automatically convert into 1,125,000 shares of our common stock.

        In connection with his purchase of the shares of Class A Stock, we made a full recourse loan to Mr. Thiel in the amount of $1,350,000 at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum. Mr. Thiel used $843,750 of this loan to purchase 2,812,500 shares of Class A Stock, and these shares were pledged by Mr. Thiel as collateral for the repayment of the loan. The purchase price for the remaining shares was paid with cash. The loan matures on September 10, 2005 and becomes payable immediately upon the termination of Mr. Thiel's employment for any reason, including death or disability.

Warrants

        At the time of the merger with Confinity, we assumed the obligations under warrants issued to two investors during January 2000 by Confinity, in connection with its Series C Preferred Stock financing.

Various entities affiliated with Clearstone Venture Partners, one of our 5% stockholders, were issued warrants to purchase 4,166,666 shares of Confinity Series C Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. These warrants were fully vested and exercisable at grant. In March 2000, upon the merger of Confinity and X.com Corporation, these warrants became warrants to purchase 1,683,880 and 8,419,393 shares, respectively, of our Series CC Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $1.19.

Other Transactions

        In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, our officers, directors and affiliates engaged in a total of 479 payment transactions using PayPal, with a total payment dollar volume of $241,739, representing less than .01% of our total number of transactions and less than .02% of the total payment volume processed by PayPal in that period. When conducting PayPal transactions, officers, directors and affiliates are subject to the same terms as other customers and do not receive any discount on fees or other preferential treatment.

        In May 2001, we entered into a separation agreement with Elon R. Musk, our former President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the separation agreement, we provided for the accelerated lapsing of our repurchase right on 250,000 shares of our common stock owned by Mr. Musk. We then repurchased from Mr. Musk 450,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.0132 and 50,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.132, which is the price he paid for those shares, for a total purchase price of $12,666. We also repurchased 90,909 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock from Mr. Musk at a per share price of $2.75 for a total purchase price of $250,000, which is the price he paid for those shares, and 166,667 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock from Mr. Musk at a per share price of $3.00 for a total purchase price of $500,000, which is the price he paid for those shares. The separation agreement with Mr. Musk provides that, in the event we breach certain agreements with Mr. Musk relating to the identification of the Company's founders, Mr. Musk will have the right to require us to purchase from him an additional 90,909 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $2.75 per share and 166,667 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $3.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $750,000.

        In July 2000, in connection with the termination of employment of Bill H. Harris, our former Chief Executive Officer and President and a former member of our board of directors, we repurchased 1,343,750 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Harris from him at a per share price of $0.13 for a total purchase price of $179,000, which is the price he originally paid for those shares. In addition, pursuant to the purchase agreement under which Mr. Harris acquired 21,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock in January 2000, we had the right to repurchase 18,812,500 shares at his original purchase price of $0.48 per share as a result of the termination of his employment in May 2000. In July 2000, we repurchased 15,663,445 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Harris from him at a per share price of $0.48 for a total purchase price of $7.1 million. In addition, we assigned our right to repurchase 3,149,055 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Harris to Elon R. Musk. Under Mr. Harris' purchase agreement, in order for this assignment to be effective, Mr. Musk had to pay us any excess between the fair market value of the Series B Preferred Stock per share and the $0.48 per share purchase price. The board of directors determined that the fair market value of the Series B Preferred Stock was $0.60 per share. Mr. Musk paid us this excess amount by issuing to us a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $389,000. This note bears interest at a rate of 6.6% and matures on July 11, 2004. However, we have agreed to forgive all amounts due to us under this note upon the successful completion of this offering.

        In August 2001, in connection with the termination of employment of H. David Johnson, our former Chief Financial Officer, we paid to him a one time severance payment of $75,000. Mr. Johnson executed a separation agreement that provided for the accelerated lapsing of our repurchase right on 42,187 shares of the common stock owned by Mr. Johnson. We then repurchased 147,656 shares of common stock from Mr. Johnson at a per share price of $0.13 for a total purchase price of $19,687, which is the price he paid for those shares.

        In July 2001, we made loans to or for the benefit of certain employees. Each loan was non-recourse, at an interest rate of 5.02% per annum, secured in part by a pledge of shares of its common stock owned by each participant and had a four-year term. In connection with each loan, each participant granted to us the right to purchase a portion of the shares of its common stock owned by such participant at a price of $3 per share. We exercised our right to purchase these shares in

86



September 2001 and purchased 389,881 common shares and 150,000 preferred shares for an aggregate consideration of $5,242,530. The participants used the proceeds to repay promissory notes issued in July 2001, and all of these notes have been repaid. The following executive officers participated in the liquidity program, received loans in the following amounts and had shares purchased by us on the terms described above: David O. Sacks ($450,000), Reid G. Hoffman ($500,000), Roelof F. Botha ($112,500), Jack R. Selby ($240,000), James E. Templeton ($240,000), Sarah B. Imbach ($108,372), Todd R. Pearson ($120,000), and Sandeep Lal ($120,000). In addition, H. David Johnson, our former Chief Financial Officer, participated in the program with a $240,000 loan and subsequent repurchase.

        In April 2000, we assumed a loan of $70,000 at an interest rate of 9% per annum payable by Roelof F. Botha, our Chief Financial Officer, to his former employer. Mr. Botha has agreed to repay this loan as a single payment in June 2004 or at such time as he ceases to be our employee, if sooner. We forgave 25.0% of the loan in June 2001 and have agreed to forgive the remainder in 25.0% increments in June 2002, June 2003 and June 2004.

        In December 1998, Thiel Capital International, LLC issued a bridge loan to Confinity in the amount of $100,000, bearing interest at a rate of 4.3% compounded annually. Peter A. Thiel, our Chief Executive Officer and President, is the Managing Member of Thiel Capital Management, LLC, which is the Managing Member of Thiel Capital International, LLC. In 1999, the entire amount of the bridge loan was converted into 500,000 shares of Confinity Series A Preferred Stock. These shares were transferred by Thiel Capital International in 1999 and 2000 in private transactions not involving Confinity or X.com, and were converted to 1,010,327 shares of our Series AA Preferred Stock. These shares will convert into 252,582 shares of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering.

        In June 1999, we issued and sold to Kimbal Musk 300,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at a per share price of $0.33 for aggregate consideration of $100,000.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        Upon the closing of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.

        The following is a summary of the rights of our common stock and preferred stock. This summary is not complete. For more detailed information, please see our certificate of incorporation which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Common Stock

        As of December 31, 2001, and assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into common stock upon the closing of this offering, there were 54,432,452 shares of common stock outstanding held by 534 stockholders and options outstanding to purchase 2,336,478 shares of common stock under our stock option plans and other options or warrants outstanding to purchase 142,603 shares of common stock.

        Dividend Rights.    Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at the times and in the amounts as our board of directors may from time to time determine.

        Voting Rights.    Each common stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not provided for in our certificate of incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election.

        No Preemptive or Similar Rights.    Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption.

        Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions.    Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding preferred stock and payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of common stock is, and all shares of common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

        Upon the closing of this offering, each outstanding share of our preferred stock outstanding will be converted into 0.25 shares of common stock.

        Following the offering, we will be authorized, subject to the limits imposed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any of its qualifications, limitations, restrictions. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders.

        Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that affect adversely the voting power or other rights of our common stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing our change in control

91



and may cause the market price of our common stock to decline or impair the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Registration Rights

        The holders of approximately 41,545,487 shares of common stock and holders of warrants to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock have the right to require us to register their shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that those shares may be publicly resold or to include their shares in any registration statement we file.

        Demand Registration Rights.    At any time six months after the closing of this offering the holders of at least 25% of the shares having registration rights have the right to demand that we file one registration statement. If we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, the holders of at least 10% of the shares having registration rights have the right to demand that we file a registration statement on Form S-3 so long as the aggregate amount of securities to be sold under the registration statement on Form S-3 exceeds $10 million.

        Piggyback Registration Rights.    If we register any securities for public sale, stockholders with registration rights will have the right to include their shares in the registration statement. The underwriters of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit the number of shares having registration rights to be included in the registration statement, but not below 10% of the total number of shares included in the registration statement, except for this initial public offering in which the underwriters have excluded any sales by existing investors. No securities held by Elon R. Musk, Peter A. Thiel or Max R. Levchin will be included in the registration statement if any securities held by any other holder of registration rights are excluded from such registration statement.

        Expenses of Registration.    We will pay all expenses relating to any demand or piggyback registration other than underwriting discounts and commissions. However, we will not pay for the expenses of any demand registration if the request is subsequently withdrawn by the holders of a majority of the shares having registration rights, subject to very limited exceptions.

        Expiration of Registration Rights.    The registration rights described above will expire two years after this offering is completed. The registration rights will terminate earlier (i) for a particular stockholder if that holder, following this offering, holds less than one percent of our common stock and such holder can resell all of its securities in a three-month period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and (ii) upon a change of control.

Antitakeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

    Delaware Takeover Statute

        We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This statute regulating corporate takeovers prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

    prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

    the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right

92


      to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

    on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

    any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

    any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

    subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; or

    the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

    Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

        Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws which will become effective upon the closing of this offering may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of our company. These provisions could cause the price of our common stock to decrease. Some of these provisions allow us to issue preferred stock without any vote or further action by the stockholders, eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting and eliminate cumulative voting in the election of directors. These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. The amendment of any of these provisions would require approval by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding common stock.

    Transfer Agent and Registrar

        The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

    Nasdaq Listing

        We have applied to list our common stock for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market.

93



SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Immediately prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

        Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 59,832,452 shares of common stock, including the issuance of 5,400,000 shares of common stock offered by us and no exercise of options outstanding after December 31, 2001. The shares sold in this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, without giving effect to lock-up agreements signed by certain purchasers of shares sold in the directed shares program.

        All of the remaining 54,432,452 shares of common stock were issued and sold by us in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Generally, these shares will be subject to lock-up agreements or other restrictions, described below, on the date of this prospectus. As a result of the contractual restrictions described below and the provisions of Rules 144, 144(k) and 701, the restricted shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

Relevant Dates

  Approximate Number of Shares Eligible for Future Sale
  Comment
On the date of this prospectus   5,090,448   Freely tradeable shares sold in this offering and shares saleable under Rule 144(k)
180 days after the date of this prospectus   53,474,401   All shares subject to 180 day lock-up agreements or other restrictions released; shares saleable under Rules 144, 144(k) and 701
Thereafter   1,267,603   Shares saleable under Rule 144

Rule 144

        In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

    1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 598,000 shares immediately after this offering, or

    the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

        Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to other requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice filing and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144(k)

        Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Therefore, "144(k) shares" may be sold immediately upon the completion of this offering, subject to the provisions of the lock-up agreements described below. The Securities Act defines affiliates to be persons that directly, or indirectly through one or more

94



intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, PayPal. These persons typically include our executive officers and directors.

Rule 701

        In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchases shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of this offering is entitled to resell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering, without having to comply with the holding period requirements or other restrictions contained in Rule 144.

        The Securities and Exchange Commission has indicated that Rule 701 will apply to typical stock options granted by an issuer before it becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, along with the shares acquired upon exercise of such options, including exercises after the date of this prospectus. Securities issued in reliance on Rule 701 are restricted securities and, subject to the contractual restrictions described above, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, may be sold by persons other than "affiliates," as defined in Rule 144, subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144 and by "affiliates" under Rule 144 without compliance with its one-year minimum holding period requirement.

Registration Rights

        Beginning six months after the date of this offering, the holders of 41,545,487 shares of common stock and the holders of warrants to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of these shares for sale in the public market. See "Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights." Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable in the public market without restriction.

Warrants

        As of December 31, 2001, there were a total of 142,603 shares of common stock subject to outstanding warrants, all of which are subject to lock-up agreements similar to those described below. These shares will become eligible for sale on various dates upon expiration or release of the 180-day lock-up agreements.

Stock Options

        As of December 31, 2001, there were a total of 2,336,478 shares of common stock subject to outstanding options under our stock option plans, all of which are subject to lock-up agreements similar to those described below. Immediately after the completion of the offering, we intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register all of the shares of common stock issued or reserved for future issuance under our stock option plans. After the effective dates of these registration statements, shares purchased upon exercise of options granted under our stock option plans will be available for resale in the public market.

Lock-up Agreements

        We, our officers and directors, and some of our other stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of Salomon Smith Barney, dispose of or hedge any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Salomon Smith Barney in its sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice. Additionally, some of our stockholders are otherwise contractually obligated to refrain from disposing of or hedging any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock.

UNDERWRITING

        Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., William Blair & Company, L.L.C., SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. and Friedman Billings Ramsey & Co., Inc. are acting as representatives of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, each underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to that underwriter, the number of shares set forth opposite the underwriter's name.

Underwriter

William Blair & Company, L.L.C.    
SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc.

  Total   5,400,000
   

        The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares (other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if they purchase any of the shares.

        The underwriters propose to offer some of the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and some of the shares to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed $            per share. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed $            per share on sales to other dealers. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the representatives may change the public offering price and the other selling terms. The representatives have advised us that the underwriters do not intend to confirm any sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

        We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 810,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter's initial purchase commitment.

        We, our officers and directors, and some of our other stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of Salomon Smith Barney, dispose of or hedge any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Salomon Smith Barney in its sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

        At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to 15% of the shares of common stock for sale at the initial public offering price to persons who are directors, officers or employees, or who are otherwise associated with us, including our most active users, determined at September 25, 2001, with addresses within the United States, but also includes friends and family of our employees, our consultants and our strategic business partners, through a directed share program. Approximately one-third of these shares, or 5% of the shares in this offering, will be subject to a 90 day lock-up agreement with the underwriters. The number of shares of common stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced by the number of directed shares purchased by participants in the program. Any

96



directed shares not purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as all other shares of common stock offered. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the sales of the directed shares. Salomon Smith Barney will administer the directed share program.

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the shares was determined by negotiations between us and the representatives. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price will be our record of operations, our current financial condition, our future prospects, our markets, the economic conditions in and future prospects for the industry in which we compete, our management, and currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets, including current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company. We cannot assure you, however, that the prices at which the shares will sell in the public market after this offering will not be lower than the initial public offering price or that an active trading market in our common stock will develop and continue after this offering.

        We have applied to have our common stock included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "PYPL".

        The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. We estimate that the aggregate underwriting discounts and commissions we will pay to the underwriters will equal 7% of the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of common stock.

        In connection with the offering, Salomon Smith Barney, on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. "Covered" short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters' over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make "naked" short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress.

        The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when Salomon Smith Barney repurchases shares originally sold by that syndicate member in order to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases.

97



        Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. They may also cause the price of the common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the Nasdaq National Market or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. If underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.

        We estimate that our portion of the total expenses of this offering will be $2,000,000.

        Travelers Insurance, an affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc., is the issuer of an insurance policy we purchased to protect our account holders from unauthorized withdrawals. We pay $42,000 per month in premiums to Travelers Insurance to underwrite this policy. In addition, an affiliate of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. purchased a total of 1,090,909 shares of our Series C Preferred shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000.

        A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The representatives will allocate shares to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, shares may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell shares to online brokerage account holders.

        We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.


LEGAL MATTERS

        The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Latham & Watkins, Menlo Park, California. Various legal matters relating to the offering will be passed upon for the underwriters by Davis Polk & Wardwell, Menlo Park, California.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

         To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PayPal, Inc.:

        In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PayPal, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries at September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, for the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the period from March 8, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PAYPAL, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

        PayPal, Inc., previously known as X.com Corporation (the "Company"), was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in March 1999 and began substantive operations in November 1999. The Company's initial focus was offering Internet banking services, which consisted of accepting deposits, payment services and limited extension of credit, provided through an agreement with First Western National Bank ("First Western"). In the second half of 2000, the Company focused on on-line payments and discontinued offering Internet banking services. The Company formally changed its name to PayPal, Inc. in February 2001. The PayPal product allows customers to transfer money to anyone with an email address. Customers create and fund their accounts through the Company's website (www.paypal.com). Accounts are funded using a credit card, a bank account, or funds received from other customers. Customers can use the PayPal product to send payments to other customers as well as non-customers (who receive an email that alerts them that funds have been set aside in their name, and provides them with instructions on opening an account in order to claim the funds).

Principles of consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PayPal Asset Management Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Stock split

        In January 2000 and November 2001, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-one stock split and a one-for-four reverse stock split. Accordingly, all common share and per common share amounts have been restated retroactively to reflect these splits. Prior to giving retroactive effect to the one-for-four reverse stock split, net loss per share—basic and diluted was $3.02, $13.12, $11.62 and $3.62 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 respectively.

Use of estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim financial information

        The interim consolidated statements of operations and cashflows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, together with the financial data and other information for this period disclosed in these notes to the financial statements, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim results. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

F-10



Risk and uncertainties

        The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risk and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: customer adoption of the PayPal product, continued use of PayPal for on-line auction transactions, competition, changes to credit card association rules and practices, the Company's ability to manage fraud, application of laws and regulations to the Company's business, rates at which users fund payments using credit cards and the Company's ability to manage growth.

        The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. For the year ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $4.6 million, $169.5 million and $89.3 million and cash (outflows)/inflows from operations of $(4.1) million, $(27.5) million and $33.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and September 30, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4.6 million, $174.1 million and $264.7 million, respectively. The Company raised private equity financing of $173.3 million, net of issuance costs during 1999 and 2000. The Company raised an additional $37.4 million, net of issuance costs in the first nine months of 2001. Management believes, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, its cash from operations, without giving effect to net proceeds from their offering, will suffice to fund their operations through at least 2002.

Concentration of business volume

        The Company processes a majority of its transactions for customers conducting business using the services of one major Internet auction company. Although the Company's relationships lie directly with PayPal customers, the Internet auction company's ability to continue attracting customers and generating volume could have a significant impact on the Company.

Concentration of credit risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, receivables, and investment securities. The Company invests its cash primarily in money market securities and in the PayPal Money Market Reserve Fund ("the Fund"), which are uninsured. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions.

Reserves for transaction losses

        The Company is exposed to transaction losses due to fraud, as well as non-performance of third parties and customers. The Company establishes reserves for estimated losses arising from processing customer transactions, such as ACH returns, debit card overdrafts, charge-backs for unauthorized credit card use and merchant related charge-backs due to non-delivery of goods or services. These reserves represent an accumulation of the estimated amounts, using an actuarial technique, necessary to provide for transaction losses incurred as of the reporting date, including those to which the Company has not yet been notified. The Company faces a rolling window of uncertainty in their loss reserving which is inherently narrow in its range. Customers typically have up to 90 days to file transaction disputes (e.g., charge-backs or Regulation E disputes). Consequently, the time between loss reserving and realization

F-11



is short. This technique enables the Company to estimate the total of expected losses by loss category, for example unauthorized use vs. merchant related losses, based on the historical charge-back reporting pattern. The total of expected losses, less the total amount of charge-backs incurred to date equals the reserve for estimated losses incurred but not reported as of the reporting date.

        The reserves are based on known facts and circumstances, internal factors including the Company's experience with similar cases, historical trends involving loss payment patterns and the mix of transaction and loss types. Additions to the reserve, in the form of provisions, are reflected in current operating results, while charge-offs to the reserve are made when a loss is determined to have occurred. Recoveries are reflected as collected in the reserve for transaction losses.

        The establishment of appropriate reserves for transaction losses is an inherently uncertain process, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. The Company regularly updates its reserve estimates as new facts become known and events occur that may impact the settlement or recovery of losses. The reserves are maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to adequately provide for losses incurred at the balance sheet date.

Segment reporting

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based upon the way management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

        The Company's chief operating decision-maker is considered to be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO reviews financial information for purposes of making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. This financial information is consistent with the information presented in the accompanying statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company had no significant foreign operations. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, revenues from customers located outside the U.S. totaled $8.7 million, or approximately 13% of total revenue. There were no long-lived assets outside the U.S. during any period presented.

Fair value of financial instruments

        The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, investment securities and receivables, approximated fair value as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and September 30, 2001.

Comprehensive income

        The Company classifies items of other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, by their nature in the financial statements and displays the accumulated other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet. As of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and September 30, 2001, the Company had no such items.

F-12



Cash and cash equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts, commercial paper and various deposit accounts. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those investments.

Investment securities

        All of the Company's investment securities are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Those investments with maturities greater than three months and less than twelve months at the date of acquisition are considered short-term investments and those with maturities greater than twelve months at the date of acquisition are considered long-term investments.

        A decline in the fair value of any security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

        Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Funds receivable and funds payable

        Funds receivable and payable arise due to the time taken to clear transactions through external payment networks. When a customer funds their account using their bank account or credit card, or withdraws money to their bank account or through a debit card transaction, there is a clearing period before the cash is received or sent by PayPal, usually two or three days. Hence, these funds are treated as a receivable or payable until the cash is settled.

Investment in common stock

        As discussed in Note 18, in November 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Community Bancshares Inc (CBI), in which the Company purchased a minority interest in CBI for $2 million. The investment was accounted for under the cost method. In August 2000, the Company exercised its put agreement requiring the then current CEO of CBI to repurchase the shares of CBI common stock from the Company for the original purchase price of $2 million.

Fixed assets

        Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization periods are generally three years for computer equipment, three years for software and five years for furniture and fixtures. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

F-13



Capitalized software

        Cost of internal use software and website development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-02, Accounting for Website Development Costs, which require that the Company expense computer software and website development costs as they are incurred during the preliminary project stage. Once the capitalization criteria of SOP 98-1 and EITF 00-02 have been met, external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software, including website development, and the payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software, are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over approximately three years on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and September 30, 2001, the Company had capitalized approximately $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $2.3 million respectively, in internally developed software costs and recognized approximately $19,700, $567,100 and $735,000, respectively, of amortization expense.

Goodwill and other intangibles

        Goodwill and other intangibles are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The cost of goodwill and other identified intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. Other intangibles include purchased domain names, licenses, and identifiable intangibles acquired in business combination.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles

        The Company assesses the impairment of its long-lived assets and other identifiable intangibles and related goodwill periodically in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The Company also assesses the impairment of enterprise level goodwill periodically in accordance with the provision of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 17, Intangible Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could result in an impairment review include but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period, and the Company's market capitalization relative to net book value. If the Company determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company will measure any impairment based on the projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent to the Company's current business model. As of September 30, 2001, the Company has not identified any such impairment.

        The Company purchased domain names and licenses related to the Internet banking operations and capitalized the related cost. Upon termination of this business in December 2000 (see Note 18), the Company wrote-off the unamortized balance of approximately $0.5 million.

F-14



Due to customers

        Customers utilize the Company's services to transfer money via the Internet. Any stored value remaining from transactions in a customer's account represents a liability of the Company to the customer. Customer balances are insured against unauthorized transactions by a third party insurance company up to $100,000. Customers can elect to sweep their account balances into the mutual fund to earn a rate of return; otherwise, no interest is paid on customer account balances.

Stock-based compensation

        The Company accounts for non-cash stock-based employee compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44") Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB 25 as of July 1, 2000. FIN 44 provides guidance on the application of APB 25 for non-cash stock-based compensation to employees. For fixed grants, under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the excess of the fair value of the Company's stock over the exercise price, if any, on the date of the grant and is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years. For variable grants, compensation expense is based on changes in the fair value of the Company's stock and is recorded using the methodology set out in FIN 28 Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans, an interpretation of APB 15 and APB 25.

        The Company accounts for non-cash stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

Net loss per share and share amounts

        Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, are included in the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation to the extent these shares are dilutive.

        All outstanding and weighted average share amounts presented in this report have been restated to reflect the three-for-one stock split approved in January 2000 and the one-for-four reverse stock split approved in November 2001.

Unaudited pro forma net loss per share

        Pro forma net loss per share for the period from March 8, 1999 to December 31, 1999, the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including the conversion of the Company's mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of the Company's common stock effective upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering (IPO), as if such conversion occurred at March 8, 1999

F-15



or at the date of issuance, if later. The calculation of pro forma diluted net loss per share excludes incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, as the effect would be antidilutive.

Unaudited pro forma information

        Upon the closing of an IPO, each of the outstanding shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock. The pro forma balance sheet presents the Company's balance sheet as if the conversion had occurred at September 30, 2001.

Revenue recognition

        The Company earns transaction fees from processing transactions for selected customers. Revenue resulting from these transactions is recognized as transactions are completed. A transaction fee is charged to customers meeting certain criteria (such as account type and volume of payments received per month) for funds they receive.

        The Company also recognizes investment management fees pursuant to a contractual agreement based upon the average net assets of the Fund. Investment management fees are recognized over the period that assets are under management. As of December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001, customer funds invested in the Fund under management totaled approximately $17.2 million and $49.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001 the Company's cash and cash equivalents included approximately $58.2 million and $45.9 million invested in these funds, respectively, of which $35.4 million and $45.9 million, respectively, were funds being held on behalf of others.

        As part of its cash management process, the Company earns interest on funds held on behalf of others by investing the stored value remaining in the customer accounts in money market and money market equivalent securities overnight. The interest income received on these investments is accrued and recognized as income in the period in which it is earned.

        In accordance with its Internet banking service agreement (see Note 18), the Company was entitled to earn 50% of any income and reimbursed First Western all losses resulting from the operation of the program. Revenues from this service agreement consisted primarily of interest income received from investing the Company's excess cash in overnight investments.

Transaction processing expenses

        Transaction processing expenses consist primarily of third party transaction fees, such as Automatic Clearing House (ACH) and check processing, credit card processing and debit card processing expenses.

Advertising expenses

        The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, advertising cost totaled $329,910 and $126,536, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, advertising expenses totaled $43,165.

F-16



Customer acquisition costs

        At times, the Company has paid an acquisition cost ranging from $5 to $10 to each customer opening a new PayPal account and an additional $5 to $10 to those customers who refer another new account holder to the Company. The amounts paid are not dependent on whether the customer generates revenue for the Company. These amounts are deposited into the customer's account after certain requirements are met. During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, acquisition costs of $0.5 million, $15.4 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, have been expensed as incurred and are included in promotional and marketing expense.

Income taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Recent accounting pronouncements

    Business Combinations

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141"). This standard concludes that all business combinations within the scope of the statement will be accounted for using the purchase method. Previously, the pooling-of-interests method was required whenever certain criteria were met. SFAS No. 141 requires separate recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria: the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. SFAS No. 141 also requires the disclosure of the primary reasons for a business combination and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption.

        The provisions of SFAS No. 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the cash flows or statement of operations.

    Goodwill and Other Intangibles

        In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). It addressed how intangible assets that are acquired individually or within a group of assets (but not those acquired in business combination) should be accounted for in the financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 adopts a more aggregate view of goodwill and bases the accounting on the units of the combined entity into which an acquired entity is aggregated. SFAS No. 142 also prescribes that goodwill and other intangibles that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but no longer with the constraint of the 40-year ceiling. SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for the testing of goodwill for impairment, which may

F-17


require remeasurement of the fair value of the reporting unit. Additional ongoing financial statement disclosures are also required.

        The provisions of this statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement is required to be applied at the beginning of the fiscal year and applied to all goodwill and other intangibles recognized in the financials at that date. Impairment losses are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. The impact on the Company of the adoption of this standard has not yet been determined.

        In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS No. 144. It supercedes SFAS No. 121 Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of and APB Opinion No. 30 Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business. It establishes a single account model based upon the framework of SFAS No. 121. It removes goodwill and intangible assets from its scope. It describes a probability-weighted cash flow estimation approach to deal with certain situations. It also establishes a "primary asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not fully assessed the impact of the adoption of SFAS 144 upon its financial position or results of operations.

2.    BUSINESS COMBINATION

        On March 30, 2000, X.com merged with Confinity, Inc., (a development stage company) which developed the PayPal product. Under the terms of the agreement, as part of the purchase price paid, X.com issued 6,372,369 shares of common stock and 5,051,627 shares of Series AA, 24,247,842 shares of Series BB, and 18,522,653 shares of Series CC, preferred stock, in exchange for all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Confinity. Additionally, as part of this consideration, X.com assumed Confinity's options and warrants outstanding into options and warrants to purchase X.com's common and Series CC preferred stock. X.com was the surviving entity in the merger as it had the majority of the outstanding voting interest and the fully diluted interest in the Company immediately following the merger. The former stockholders of Confinity owned approximately 46.5% of the total outstanding voting interest of the Company immediately following the merger. X.com formally changed its name to PayPal, Inc. in February 2001.

        The merger has been accounted for under the purchase accounting method. In accordance with APB 16, the cost to acquire Confinity was allocated among the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the stock consideration paid, was based upon an arms-length third party equity round that closed concurrently with the acquisition. In accordance with APB 16, the Company determined the fair value of each series of securities issued in the acquisition. The fair values were determined using a valuation model which valued each series by assessing its characteristics, such as liquidation values, with reference to the most recent financing with a third party. For this purpose, the Company used as a reference its Series C preferred stock financing, which closed in March 2000 with total proceeds of $100.0 million at a price of $2.75 per share.

F-18



        The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price of $129.7 million:

Net liabilities assumed   $ (1.6 )
Goodwill     123.6  
Purchased technology     0.6  
Customer base     6.3  
Assembled workforce     0.8  
   
 
Total   $ 129.7  
   
 

        The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired totaled $123.6 million. This amount has been included in intangible assets and is being amortized using the straight-line method over a two-year period. Amortization expense relating to these intangible assets totaled $49.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2000 and $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Purchased technology that had reached technological feasibility and was principally represented by the technology underlying the PayPal product was valued using a replacement cost method. This analysis resulted in an allocation of $0.6 million to existing technology, which was capitalized and is being amortized over two years. Additionally, a replacement cost analysis of the customer base and assembled workforce resulted in $6.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, being capitalized and amortized over two years.

        The consolidated financial statements include the results of Confinity since March 31, 2000. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presents the combined results of the Company and Confinity as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the years presented below, after giving effect to certain adjustments, principally amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets.

        In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, and due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and 1999. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

        As of September 30, 2001, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $133.0 million and $120.0 million, respectively. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in varying amounts beginning in 2019 and 2007, respectively. In addition to these net operating loss carryforwards, Confinity, Inc. has pre-acquisition federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15.0 million which begin to expire in 2020 and 2008, respectively. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three year period, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Such limitation has not yet been determined by the Company.

        Prior to the acquisition, Confinity, Inc. provided a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets related primarily to capitalized start-up costs. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. When it is determined that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced, accordingly.

Liquidation preference

        In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock retain liquidation preference over common stockholders. The liquidation preference amounts are $0.3333 per share of Series A, $0.0990 per share of Series AA, $0.4763 per share of Series B, $0.1856 per share of Series BB, $2.75 per share of Series C, $0.5939 per share of Series CC, $3.00 per share of Series D and $3.00 per share of Class A stock.

        The remaining assets and funds of the Company available for distribution will be distributed ratably among all holders of common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each holder.

Redemption

        The merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity or any transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of or the sale, transfer or disposition of

F-25



substantially all of the property or business of the Company is deemed a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. These liquidation characteristics require classification of the mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock outside of the equity section as these factors are outside the control of the Company. The mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock is not redeemable in any other circumstances.

Voting rights

        Holders of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock (except Class A stock) are entitled to vote together with holders of common stock. The number of votes granted to mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stockholders equals the number of full shares of common stock into which each share of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock could be converted as described in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

Conversion

        Each share of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time into 0.25 shares of common stock (subject to certain adjustments). Each share of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock shall convert at the option of the holder or automatically upon the occurrence of the earlier of a closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Company's common stock with aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company of not less than $25.0 million or the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock.

Dividends

        The holders of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock (except Class A stock) are entitled to receive when, and if, declared by the Board of Directors, dividends at the rate of $0.0167 per share of Series A, $0.0049 per share of Series AA, $0.0238 per share of Series B, $0.0093 per share of Series BB, $0.1375 per share of Series C, $0.0297 per share of Series CC and $0.15 per share of Series D, respectively, per year, payable in preference to any payment of any dividend on common stock. The dividends are non-cumulative.

        As of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and September 30, 2001, no dividends had been declared on any series of the Company's preferred or common stock.

Private Placement of Class A Stock

        In August and September 2001, the Company issued 4,500,000 non-voting shares of a new class of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Class A") to or for the benefit of an officer of the Company. The Class A stock has a liquidation preference of $3.00 per share and can be converted at any time, at the option of the holders, into common stock at a conversion ratio of 4:1. In addition, the Class A stock will automatically convert to common stock at the conversion ratio in the event of an IPO raising at least $25 million. The shares of Class A stock are subject to a repurchase option held by the Company and other restrictions. As to 1,687,500 of those shares, 1,031,250 have been released from the repurchase option as of November 1, 2001. The Company has a right to repurchase all 656,250 remaining shares of those 1,687,500 shares at any time, for an amount equal to the price paid for the shares. This repurchase right lapses at a rate of 93,750 shares per month commencing in

F-26



September 2001, expiring completely in June 2002. In the event of a change of control, any of the 937,500 shares, which are then still subject to repurchase, will be released from the repurchase restrictions. With respect to the other 2,812,500 shares, commencing in June 2002, the repurchase right will lapse at a rate of 93,750 shares per month expiring completely in January 2005. In the event the executive officer's employment relationship with the Company is involuntarily terminated or terminated without cause within one year following a change of control, then all of the 2,812,500 shares which are then still subject to repurchase will be released from the repurchase restrictions. The Company also retains a call over 4,500,000 shares of the Class A stock, which can be exercised at a fixed price of $3.00 per share between July 2002 and 2005. The issuance price of $0.30 was below the fair value of the common stock and resulted in non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $12,150,000, which is equal to the difference between the fair value of the common stock at the measurement date and the consideration received for these shares. At issuance, the convertible instrument was deemed to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature which is limited to the amount of the proceeds of $1,350,000. This amount is recorded as a deemed dividend in the Statement of Operations.

        In connection with the purchase of the shares of Class A stock by the executive officer, the Company made a full recourse loan in the amount of $1,350,000, at an interest rate of 8% per annum. The loan, including accrued interest, matures on September 10, 2005 and becomes payable immediately upon termination of the executive's employment for any reason.

11.    RESTRICTED STOCK

        During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued 7,015,000 shares of restricted common stock for cash proceeds of $292,626 and a note in the amount of $139,275 to certain employees, directors and officers of the Company under Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements (RSPA). The issuance prices of the restricted common stock awarded ranged from $0.012 to $0.20 per share and the repurchase rights associated with these grants lapse at a rate of 1/48 per month. In some cases, the issuance price was below the fair value of the common stock and resulted in non-cash deferred stock-based compensation for 1999 of $2,745,485, which was equal to the difference between the fair value of the common stock at the measurement date and the consideration received for these shares. The non-cash deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of the shares. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the amortization of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation associated with these restricted stock awards was $147,342, $343,627 and $72,268, respectively.

        During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company repurchased 2,750,000 and 1,609,000 shares of restricted common stock, respectively, from certain employees, directors and officers of the Company, pursuant to the repurchase provisions of the RSPA. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, in connection with termination of employment, the Company repurchased 647,656 shares of restricted common stock from two former officers of the Company. All repurchases were made at the issuance price paid for the shares when granted.

        During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company granted 130,924 shares of restricted common stock for aggregate proceeds of $2,613, to non-employees of the company in connection with consulting agreements. The issuance prices of the restricted common stock awarded ranged from $0.012 to $0.132 per share. One award of 3,424 shares was fully vested at the date of grant. The issuance price was below the fair value of the common stock and resulted in a deferred compensation of $62,779, which was equal to the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the consideration

F-27



received for the shares. The amortization of deferred compensation is being recognized in full during 1999 as consulting expense as the shares were fully vested upon grant. The remaining awards of 127,500 shares vest at a rate of 1/48 per month in accordance with the terms of the RSPA. There was no deferred compensation relating to these shares as the fair value was equal to the consideration received.

        During the year ended December 31, 2000 the Company issued 21,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at a price of $0.47633 per share to a principal stockholder and officer of the Company, under an RSPA. During August 2000, the Company exercised its right to repurchase 18,812,500 shares of the Series B preferred stock at the issuance price. Simultaneously, the Company reassigned a portion of this repurchase right to another principal stockholder and officer of the Company to purchase 3,149,055 shares of the 18,812,500 shares of Series B preferred stock at $0.60 per share. The shares were fully vested upon purchase. On the date of reassignment and purchase, the Company recorded $3,369,488 in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. The amount recorded represented the difference between the fair value of the Series B preferred stock at the date of reassignment and purchase and the price paid for the shares.

        The number of shares outstanding subject to repurchase as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 and at September 30, 2001 was 3.7 million, 5.7 million, and 4.1 million, respectively. (See Note 19 for impact on net loss per share).

12.    STOCKHOLDER NOTES RECEIVABLE

        During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued 1,009,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for full-recourse promissory notes totaling $139,275. In addition, in conjunction with the merger with Confinity, the Company assumed a stockholder note receivable in the amount of $37,400. The principal and accrued interest are due three years from the date of issuance. These notes accrue interest in a range of 5.15%-8% per annum.

        During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company issued 3,149,055 shares of Series B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock to a principal stockholder of the Company in exchange for a full recourse note in the amount of $389,433. This note accrues interest at 6.62% per annum. Under the terms of the note, interest is compounded semiannually and added to the principal balance. The principal and accrued interest are due four years from the date of issuance.

        In July 2001, the Company adopted a new liquidity program which allowed for loans to or for the benefit of certain employees equal to the sum of up to 20% of their total equity investment in the Company times $6.00 per share. Each loan was non-recourse, secured in part by a pledge of shares of common stock owned by each participant and accrues interest at a fixed rate of 5.02% with principal and interest repayable in full at the end of the four-year term. In connection with each loan, each participant granted to the Company the right to purchase ("call") 10% of the shares of common stock owned by such participant at a price of $12 per share beginning one year from the date of the loan.

        In September 2001, the Company entered into amendments to all but one of the loan agreements, under which the call feature became exercisable on September 4, 2001 and which provided that prepayment of the loan in full would extinguish the call. The Company then exercised the calls on September 30, 2001 and purchased, 389,881 common shares and 150,000 of Series AA Preferred shares from the participants of the Liquidity Program for an aggregate consideration of $5,272,000. Three participants elected to repay the notes in full or partially in cash instead of allowing the Company to purchase 10% of their shares. The remaining participants used the proceeds to repay their promissory notes issued in July 2001. As of September 30, 2001, one loan associated with this program was outstanding and the remaining loans were paid in full. The Company will adjust non-cash deferred stock-based compensation associated with the one remaining participant's pledged equity awards in periods subsequent to September 30, 2001 until this $90,000 loan is paid in full.

        In accordance with EITF 95-16, the Company has remeasured ("the new measurement date") the 20% holdings of the participants' restricted stock pledged in accordance with the terms of the Liquidity Program upon granting of the non-recourse notes. As of September 30, 2001, non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $10.3 million has been recognized, which is equal to the increase in the intrinsic value recorded at the original grant date and the new measurement date. Non-cash deferred stock-based compensation accrued during the vesting period shall be adjusted in subsequent periods, until the notes are settled for changes in the fair value of the shares but shall not be adjusted below zero. Amortization will be recognized in accordance with the vesting terms of the original equity awards using the methodology set out in FIN 28. As of September 30, 2001, amortization of $9.9 million has been recognized. The remaining non-cash deferred stock-based compensation associated with the 10% of the Liquidity Program participants' equity investment, not subject to repurchase, will be amortized over the original vesting period or period over which the Company's repurchase right expires on a straight-line basis.

14.    STOCK OPTION PLAN

        As of September 30, 2001, the Company had reserved up to 4,677,733 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options issued to certain employees, directors, advisors, and consultants pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plan"). Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options ("ISO") may only be granted to Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). Nonqualified Stock Options ("NSO") may be granted to both Company employees and consultants. Options under the Plan may be granted at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors provided, however, that (1) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% and 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively, and (2) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a 10% stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of

F-29



grant. Such options are exercisable at prices established at the date of grant, and have a term not to exceed ten years. Options granted under the Plan are exercisable according to the terms of each option; however, in the event of a change in control or merger as defined in the Plan, 12 months of options shall immediately become vested and exercisable in full. Options granted generally vest at a rate of 25% of the option shares upon the optionee's completion of one year of service measured from the vesting commencement date. The balance will vest in equal successive monthly installments of 1/48 of the total grant upon the optionee's completion of each of the next 36 months of service. If an option holder ceases to be employed by the Company, exercisable and vested options held at the date of termination may be exercised within the earlier of three months and termination of the option. Options under the plan may be either Incentive Stock Options, as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or Nonstatutory Options.

        During December 2000 and March 2001, the Company amended the Plan to permit option holders who hold more than 25,000 and 2,500 outstanding options, respectively to exercise their options in advance of vesting. All outstanding options held by former employees of Confinity assumed at the time of the merger can be exercised in advance of vesting, as was permitted under the former Confinity Stock Option Plan. All options exercised in advance of vesting are recorded as both issued and outstanding stock from the date of exercise. In the event that the employee fails to satisfy the required conditions for vesting of the option, as established in the original option award, the Company maintains the right to repurchase any non-vested shares at such time. Such options are repurchased at a price equal to the exercise price paid.

        Options granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 resulted in non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.5 million, $9.5 million and $13.6 million respectively. The amounts recorded represent the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company's common stock subject to the options granted. The non-cash deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of the options granted. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, the amortization of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation was $58,956 and $1.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the amortization of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation was $6.9 million.

        The Company granted options to purchase 34,860, 32,766 and 34,203 shares of common stock to non-employees for consulting services during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, resulting in deferred compensation of $533, $206,782 and $214,404, respectively. The fair value of the options granted was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Amortization of the deferred compensation is being recorded over the vesting period of the options. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 the amortization of deferred compensation related to these options were $100 and $207,215, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the amortization of deferred compensation related to these options was $209,945.

        Upon termination of service for four employees of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company accelerated the vesting on certain of their outstanding stock awards at termination. The acceleration of these awards triggered a re-measurement date for the grants and accordingly, the Company recorded $0.5 million in additional compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company accelerated vesting for sixteen employees upon termination of employment and recorded $2.6 million in additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    Fair value disclosures

        The following information concerning the Company's stock option plan is provided in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"). As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company accounted for options granted to employees in accordance with APB No. 25 and related interpretations. The fair

F-31


value of each stock option granted to employees was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  Years Ended
December 31,

  Nine Months
Ended September 30,

 
 
  1999
  2000
  2000
  2001

Expected life of options (years)   3   3   3   3  
Dividend yield   0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 %

        As a result of the above assumptions, the weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $1.32, $5.88 and $11.86, respectively.

        Had compensation expense for the Plan been determined based on the fair value at grant date for options granted during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net loss would have increased to the pro forma amounts reported below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

15.    WARRANTS

        During November 1999, the Company issued warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01332 per share issued to a third party in connection with a contract for professional recruiting services previously provided. These warrants have a seven-year term and were fully exercisable from the date of grant. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 40,413 shares of preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share to a third party in connection with an equipment loan. These warrants have a ten-year term and were fully exercisable from the date of grant. The fair values of these warrants were determined at the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model. The calculated fair values of $41,335 and $43,750 were attributable to professional fees and interest expense, respectively, during 1999. As of September 30, 2001, these warrants remained outstanding and fully exercisable.

        Pursuant to the merger with Confinity, the Company assumed the obligations under warrants issued to investors during January 2000 by Confinity in connection with a preferred stock financing. These warrants were issued to purchase 4,999,999 shares of Series CC preferred stock at an exercise

F-32



price of $2.40 per share and were fully exercisable from the date of grant. As of the date of the merger with Confinity, the warrants were amended to provide for the purchase 10,103,273 shares of Series CC preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share. In August 2000, these warrants were net exercised by the holder in exchange for 6,103,270 shares of the Company's Series CC preferred stock.

        During April 2001, the Company issued warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company's Series D preferred stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share to a third party in connection with an equipment loan. The warrant has a five-year term and is fully exercisable upon grant. The fair value of the warrant was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The calculated fair value was $12,144 and was expensed in full as interest expense. As of September 30, 2001, the warrant remains outstanding and fully exercisable.

16.    401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

        During 2000, the Company adopted a 401(k) tax deferred savings plan under which eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their salary (up to 15%) as a contribution to the plan. The Company did not match employee contributions during the year ended December 31, 2000 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

17.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Leases

        The Company has entered into capital lease agreements for certain furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software.

        For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, rent expense under the operating leases amounted to $90,944 and $1,663,579, respectively. Rent expense under operating leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $1,539,079. The terms of the facility lease provide for rental

F-33



payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid.

        In April 2001, the Company entered into a capital lease with a financial institution that provides for advances not to exceed $3 million. As of September 30, 2001, the outstanding balance was $3 million. These funds were used to purchase furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software. Starting in November 2001, the principal amount of the capital lease will be amortized over 30 equal principal payments plus interest. The interest rate is based on current prime rate. In addition, the Company also granted warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of Series D preferred stock in conjunction with this agreement (see Note 15). The Company has the option to pay off the principal amount at any time without penalty.

18.    SERVICE AGREEMENT COSTS AND TERMINATION EXPENSES

        In November 1999, the Company entered into a series of agreements with CBI. Under the first agreement, the Company was to purchase CBI's wholly owned subsidiary, First Western, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals. The second agreement provided for an Internet banking agreement under which the Company would solicit customers to apply for First Western accounts and the customers would use the Company's software programs to utilize Internet banking services from First Western. The Company was to reimburse CBI and First Western for their costs incurred in servicing the First Western accounts. At the same time, the Company and CBI entered into an agreement under which the Company purchased CBI common stock for $2 million (see Note 1). In connection with this agreement, the Company also entered into a put agreement requiring the Chief Executive Officer of CBI to repurchase the shares of CBI's common stock from the Company at the price paid upon termination of the internet banking arrangement.

        In August 2000, the Company terminated its stock purchase agreement and in December 2000 cancelled its Internet banking services agreement with CBI. In December 2000, in accordance with the original agreement, the Company paid CBI a termination fee of $1 million and reimbursed CBI an

F-34



additional $1 million for the net losses resulting from the Internet banking operations. In addition, the Company exercised its put agreement requiring the Chief Executive Officer of CBI to repurchase the common shares of CBI for $2 million.

19.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

        Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, are included in the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation to the extent these shares are dilutive. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and dilutive net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders is as follows (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

20.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        In February 2001, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Providian Financial (Providian). Under the terms of the partnership, the Company offers Providian-issued, PayPal-branded Visa cards to the Company's account holders. Simultaneously, Providian purchased 3,333,333 shares of the Company's Series D preferred stock financing at the same price per share as was paid by the other investors in the Series D preferred stock. The Chief Executive Officer of Providian is a member of the Company's board of directors.

        In April 2000, the Company assumed a loan payable by its Chief Financial Officer to his former employer. The loan is due in June 2004 or at such time he is no longer employed by the Company. The Company forgave 25% of this loan in June 2001 which is reflected in employee compensation expense as of September 30, 2001. The remainder of the loan will be forgiven in 25% increments per year.

21.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        In October 2001, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an office building. The term of this lease, which qualifies as an operating lease, commences on January 1, 2002 for 126 months. Under the terms of the lease, the tenant is generally responsible for the payment of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs related to the leased property. Additionally, in accordance with the lease agreement, the Company has also established an irrevocable standby letter of credit with a financial institution and has pledged cash, in the form of a certificate of deposit, in the amount of approximately $1.28 million to secure the letter of credit.

F-36



        Minimum lease commitments required under this lease are as follows (in thousands):

2002   $ 1,582
2003     2,350
2004     2,446
2005     2,543
2006     2,645
   
    $ 11,566
   

        In October 2001, the Company amended the lease agreement it has with a financial institution, increasing the advances available from $3.0 million to $5.0 million. (See note 17)

        In October 2001, the Company granted options to employees to purchase 587,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share. The Company has recorded non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $6.5 million representing the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company's common stock subject to the options granted. The non-cash deferred stock-based compensation will be amortized over the vesting period of four years.

        In connection with the exercise of the options granted, the Company made a full-recourse loan in the amount of $0.8 million, at an interest rate of 8% per annum. The principal and accrued interest are due four years from the date of issuance.

        In September 2001, the Company adopted a 2001 Equity Incentive Plan and reserved up to 9,500,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options issued to certain employees, directors, advisors and consultants.

        As of November 30, 2001, the Company terminated the agreement with Chase Merchant Services, the Company's credit card transaction processor. In November 2001, Chase Merchant Services notified the Company that it intends to hold an additional $12 million in reserve for an indefinite period of time, which it deems necessary to cover its liability for charge-backs. Accordingly, in December 2001, the Company's restricted cash has been increased by $12 million.

        The Company is required to keep a minimum of $10.0 million on account with Wells Fargo in order to obtain Wells Fargo's ACH processing services. Until December 2001, this requirement was met by holding sufficient customer funds as agent in a pooled account at Wells Fargo. The requirement is now met by pledging securities owned by PayPal and held in a brokerage account at Wells Fargo. These securities will be accounted for as restricted long-term securities.

22.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

        In December 2001, the Company granted options to purchase 370,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. In January 2002 the Company granted options to purchase 75,000 and 4,120,597 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $6.00 and $12.00, respectively. The Company will record non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $7.2 million, representing the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company's common stock subject to the options granted. The non-cash deferred stock-based compensation will be amortized over the vesting periods of the respective grants.

Legal Matters

Tumbleweed Communications Corp.

        On January 22, 2002, the Company received a letter from Tumbleweed Communications Corp. The letter states that Tumbleweed is the owner of two U.S. patents: U.S. Patent Number 5,790,790, entitled "Electronic Document Delivery System in Which Notification of Said Electronic Document is Sent to a Recipient Thereof," and U.S. Patent Number 6,192,407, entitled "Private, Trackable URLs For Directed Document Delivery." The letter also states that "[Tumbleweed's] understanding of [PayPal's] online payment product leads [Tumbleweed] to believe that [we] require a license under the '790 and '407 patents."

        The Company believes that Tumbleweed's assertions are without merit. The Company also believes that its service does not infringe the patents and that it therefore does not require a license.

        Despite the Company belief that its service does not infringe either patent, the Company cannot provide assurance that it would prevail if Tumbleweed were to sue the Company for infringement of either patent. If any portions of the PayPal service were found to be infringing either patent, and if the Company was unwilling or unable to obtain a license on terms acceptable to Tumbleweed, then the Company would likely be unable to continue to offer those portions of the service found to be infringing. The Company could also then be required to pay damages for past infringing use, possibly Tumbleweed's attorneys' fees, and possibly treble damages. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

        On February 5, 2002, the Company learned that CertCo, Inc. filed a lawsuit on February 4, 2002 for patent infringement against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

        The complaint alleges that the Company is "directly infringing, contributing to the infringement of, or inducing others to infringe" CertCo's U.S. Patent Number 6,029,150 ("the '150 patent," entitled "Payment and Transactions in Electronic Commerce System"), "by making, using, offering to sell, selling or inducing others to use [our] electronic payment and transaction system...in the United States...." The complaint additionally alleges that the Company's alleged infringement "has been and continues to be deliberate and willful,...entitling CertCo to enhanced damages and reasonable attorneys' fees." The complaint further alleges that CertCo will suffer "irreparable injury" unless the Company's "infringing conduct is preliminarily and permanently enjoined." The complaint includes a demand for a jury trial.

        The complaint requests the following relief from the Court: (a) a permanent injunction against the Company's alleged infringement; (b) an award of damages for alleged past infringement, including pre- and post-judgment interest; (c) a judgment that the Company willfully infringed the patent, warranting a trebling of any awarded damages; (d) a judgment that this is an exceptional case, warranting an award to CertCo of its reasonable attorneys' fees; and (e) an award of CertCo's costs.

        Prior to CertCo's filing of this lawsuit, on February 2, 2002, the Company received a letter from counsel for CertCo. The letter states that CertCo is the owner of the '150 patent. The letter further states that CertCo's counsel has analyzed PayPal's service and determined that it infringes one or more claims (including claims 18, 27, 30 and 32) of the '150 patent.

F-38



        The letter also alleges that the Company is inducing infringement by providing its service on auction sites such as eBay. CertCo's counsel demands in the letter that the Company cease and desist from alleged further infringement and account to CertCo for damages resulting from the offering of allegedly infringing services.

        The Company believes that CertCo's assertions are without merit. Based on the Company's review of the claims but without independent confirmation of the merits of its position by counsel, the Company believes that its service does not infringe the patent because, among other reasons, PayPal's service does not send an "authenticated" or "verifiable" "payment advice message" to either the customer or the merchant, as required by the patent's claims.

        Despite the Company's belief that its service does not infringe CertCo's patent, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will prevail against CertCo in its lawsuit alleging infringement of its '150 patent. If any portions of the PayPal service were found to be infringing the patent, and if the Company was unwilling or unable to obtain a license on terms acceptable to CertCo, then the Company would likely be unable to continue to offer those portions of the service found to be infringing. The Company could also then be required to pay damages for past infringing use, possibly CertCo's attorneys' fees, and possibly treble damages. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the merger between the Company and Confinity, Inc. as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

        The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of the Company with the historical statement of operations of Confinity for the same period.

        On March 30, 2000, X.com merged with Confinity, Inc, a development stage company, which developed the PayPal product. Under the terms of the merger agreement, as part of the purchase price paid, X.com issued 6,372,369 shares of common stock and 5,051,627, 24,247,842 and 18,522,653 shares of Series AA, Series BB and Series CC preferred stock, respectively, in exchange for all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Confinity. Additionally, as part of this consideration, X.com converted Confinity's 597,637 options and 5,020,001 warrants outstanding into options and warrants to purchase 1,207,583 and 10,143,689 shares of X.com's common and Series CC preferred stock, respectively. X.com was the surviving entity as it had the majority of the outstanding voting interest and the fully diluted interest immediately following the merger. The former stockholders of Confinity own 46.5% of the total outstanding voting interest of the Company following the merger. X.com formally changed its name to PayPal, Inc. in February 2001. The purchase price of $129.7 million was allocated among the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value of those assets as the date of acquisition. The intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over a two-year period.

        The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price of $129.7 million:

Net liabilities assumed   $ (1.6 )
Goodwill     123.6  
Purchased technology     0.6  
Customer base     6.3  
Assembled workforce     0.8  
   
 
Total   $ 129.7  
   
 

        Unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations of future periods or results that actually would have been realized had the entities been a single entity during this period. The unaudited pro forma combined financials are based upon the respective historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Confinity and notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus and should be read in conjunction with those statements and the related notes.

CONFINITY, INC.

(a development stage company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

        Confinity, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in California on December 3, 1998 under the name FieldLink, Inc. On March 23, 1999, the Company's name was changed to Confinity, Inc.

        Through the Company's PayPal product users can send money to anyone with an email address. PayPal is available through devices capable of sending email including computers, Palm organizers and other wireless devices.

        As the company activities have consisted primarily of providing free of charge, a product for sending money securely through email and no significant revenue have been generated, the Company is classified as a development stage entity as of March 30, 2000.

        On March 1, 2000 the Company agreed to merge with X.com Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement Confinity shareholders received approximately 2.02 shares of X.com stock for each share of Confinity stock. Immediately following the transaction the shareholders of Confinity owned approximately 50% of the combined company. The transaction was completed on March 30, 2000.

Interim financial information

        The interim consolidated financial statements as of March 30, 2000 and for the three-month period ended March 30, 2000, together with the financial data and other information for that period disclosed in these notes to the financial statements, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim results. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments

        The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, investment securities and receivables, approximated fair value at December 31, 1998 and 1999.

Comprehensive income

        The Company classifies items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and displays the accumulated other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no such items.

F-47



Cash and cash equivalents

        The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts, commercial paper and various deposit accounts. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those investments.

Furniture and equipment

        Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization periods are generally three years for computer equipment, two years for software and five years for furniture and fixtures. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Capitalized software

        Cost of internal use software and website development cost are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-02, Accounting for Website Development Costs, which requires that the Company expense computer software and website development costs as they are incurred during the preliminary project stage. Once the capitalization criteria of SOP 98-1 and EITF 00-02 have been met, external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software, including website development, and the payroll and payroll related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over one to three years on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, the Company had capitalized approximately $0 and $210,781 in internally developed software costs and recognized $0 and $38,324 of amortization expense, respectively.

Intangible assets

        Intangible assets consist of purchased internet domain names and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of these assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 3 years.

Impairment of long-lived assets

        The Company reviews for the potential impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company has not identified any such impairment losses.

F-48



Advertising expenses

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amount expensed for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the three months ended March 30, 2000 was $0, $217,130 and $498,105 respectively.

Customer acquisition costs

        At times, the Company paid an acquisition cost of $10 to customers opening a new account and another $10 if these customers refer another new account holder to the Company. These amounts are deposited into the customer accounts as earned. At December 31, 1999, there were no restrictions for earning these fees. During 1999, acquisition costs of $77,235 have been expensed as incurred.

Due to customers

        Customers utilize the Company's PayPal product to transfer money via the internet. Any stored value remaining from transactions in a customer's account represents a liability of the Company to the customer. The Company does not pay interest on PayPal customer accounts.

Income taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Non-cash deferred stock-based compensation

        The Company accounts for non-cash stock-based employee compensation using the minimum-value method of APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the excess of the deemed fair value of the Company's stock over the exercise price, if any, on the date of the grant and is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years.

        The Company accounts for non-cash stock based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

2.    STOCKHOLDER NOTES RECEIVABLE

        In 1999 the Company accepted a full recourse note from an officer in connection with the issuance of common stock. Under the terms of the note, interest of 8.0% is compounded semiannually and added to the principal balance. The notes and accrued interest are due 3 years from the issuance of the

F-49



note. At December 31, 1999 the principal and unpaid interest on notes accepted from the sale of stock was $37,400.

3.    DUE TO FOUNDER

        In December 1998, a limited liability company (LLC) controlled by a founder issued a bridge loan to the Company in the amount of $100,000 bearing interest at a rate of 4.33% compounded annually. In 1999 the LLC converted the entire amount of the bridge loan into 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. A total of $700 in interest was paid in cash and expensed by the Company at the time the loan was converted into Series A shares.

F-50



6.    FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES

        For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company incurred net operating losses.

        As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $975,063 relating primarily to the capitalized startup costs. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 1999. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

        The following table reconciles the statutory federal tax rate to the effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1999:

Statutory federal tax rate   34.00 %
State taxes   5.58  
Non-cash stock-based compensation   (2.12 )
Valuation allowance   (37.22 )
Other   (0.24 )
   
 
  Effective tax rate   0.00 %

Redemption

        The merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity or any transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of or the sale, transfer or disposition of substantially all of the property or business of the company shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution,

F-51



or winding up of the Company. These liquidation characteristics require classification of the mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock outside of the equity section. There are no other redemption features.

Liquidation preference

        In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock retain liquidation preference over common stockholders. The liquidation preference amounts are $0.20 per share of Series A and $0.375 per share of Series B and $0.375 per share of Series C.

        The remaining assets and funds of the Company available for distribution will be distributed among all holders of common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each holder.

Voting rights

        Holders of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote together with holders of common stock. The number of votes granted to mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shareholders equals the number of full shares of common stock into which each share of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock could be converted as described in the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

Conversion

        At the option of the holder, each share of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time into one share of common stock (subject to certain adjustments). Each share of preferred stock shall automatically be converted into common stock upon majority consent of the outstanding shares of preferred stock or closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $15.0 million.

Dividends

        The holders of Series A, B and C mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends as, when and if declared by the Board of Directors.

        For all periods presented, no dividends were declared on any series of the Company's mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock.

Warrants

        In 1999, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share to a third party as additional consideration on the capital lease (see Note 11). The third party has the right to exercise the warrants for ten years from the date of issue. The Company has not allocated a portion of the proceeds from the capital lease to the warrants, based upon their relative fair values, as the amount is deemed immaterial.

F-52


        In January 2000, in connection with the preferred stock financing, pursuant to the merger with X.com Corporation, the Company issued two warrants to investors to purchase up to 4,166,666 and 833,333 shares of Series C preferred stock at a exercise price of $2.40 per share. These warrants were fully vested and exercisable at grant. The warrants expire at the earlier of three years from the date of grant, an initial public offering of the Company's common stock or a merger/consolidation. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $2,709,333 and was recorded as a cost of raising preferred stock financing. As of March 30, 2000, the warrants were amended to exercise at the earlier of the above terms and a preferred stock financing by the Company to close at no less than $3.00 per share. In conjunction with the merger with X.com Corporation (see Note 1), all warrants were outstanding and were assumed in the merger.

8.    RESTRICTED STOCK

        During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued 10,380,000 shares of common stock for aggregate cash of $82,460 and a note of $37,400 to certain employees of the Company in connection with their employment. In some cases, the issuance price was below the fair value of the common stock and resulted in non-cash stock-based compensation of $554,090 which was equal to the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the consideration paid for these shares. The non-cash deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of the shares. For the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the three months ended March 31, 2000, the amortization of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation was $47,218 and $79,778, respectively.

        A portion of the shares granted to employees is subject to repurchase by the Company, at the Company's option at the original price issued. The Company's right of repurchase lapses over a period of time determined by the Board of Directors on a case by case basis.

9.    STOCK OPTIONS

        As of December 31, 1999, the Company had reserved up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options issued to certain employees, directors, advisors, and consultants pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock Plan. Such options were exercisable at prices established at the date of grant, and have a term not to exceed ten years. Options that are granted to other than officers, directors or consultants vest and become exercisable at a rate of not less than 20% per year over the five years following the date of grant. If an option holder ceases to be employed by the Company, exercisable and vested options held at the date of termination may be exercised within the earlier of three months and termination of the option. Options under the plan may be either incentive stock options, as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or nonstatutory options. During the year ended December 31, 1999, 1,791,000 options had been granted and 4,209,000 options were still available for grant under the Company's stock option plan as of December 31, 1999.

        Options granted to employees with exercise prices below the deemed fair value of the stock during the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 30, 2000 resulted in non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $372,113 and $3,283,978, respectively. Amortization of the non-cash deferred stock-based compensation is being charged to operations as the respective options vest. For the period ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 30, 2000 the amortization

F-53



of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation related to these stock options was $47,218 and $283,363, respectively.

Options to non-employees

        Options granted to non-employees for consulting services during the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 30, 2000 resulted in non-cash deferred stock-based compensation of $217,862 and $38,955, respectively. The fair value of these options was determined at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the year ended December 31, 1999 the amortization of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation related to these options was

F-54



$86,431. For the three months ended March 30, 2000 the amortization of non-cash deferred stock-based compensation related to these options was $10,197.

10.    401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

        In 1999, the Company adopted a 401(k) tax deferred savings plan under which eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their salary (up to 15%) as a contribution to the plan. The Company did not match employee contributions during the year ended December 31, 1999 or during the three months ended March 30, 2000.

11.    OPERATING AND CAPITAL LEASES

        During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company entered into two operating lease agreements for office space. In September 1999, one of the leases was terminated after 9 months of the 34-month lease agreement. The Company did not pay a penalty as a result of terminating the lease agreement. For the period ended December 31, 1998 the Company was not obligated under any operating lease agreements.

        On August 23, 1999 the Company entered into a capital lease agreement with a financial institution. Under the terms of the lease the Company purchases equipment and submits invoices to the financial institution for reimbursement. Computer equipment, software, furniture and other equipment is eligible for reimbursement up to a maximum lease amount of $600,000. Once the Company has been reimbursed, the lease begins for a term of 36 months at an interest rate matching term treasuries plus 3%. At the end of the lease term the Company will purchase the equipment for 10% of the purchase price of the equipment. For the period ended December 31, 1998, the Company was not obligated under any capital lease agreements.

        Following is an analysis of the assets under capital lease by major class at December 31, 1999:

  Less accumulated amortization     (28,362 )   (74,481 )
   
 
 
    $ 456,325   $ 513,322  
   
 
 

        Depreciation of assets under capital lease was $28,362 and $46,119 for the period ended December 31, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 30, 2000, respectively.

F-55



        As of December 31, 1999, future minimum lease payments under capital leases, including the 10% buy out mentioned above and future minimum rental payments required under operating leases are as follows:

Year Ending Leases

  Capital
  Operating
2000   $ 182,921   $ 304,000
2001     182,921     316,160

        For the period ended December 31, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1999, and the three months ended March 30, 2000, rent expense was $0, $133,225 and $116,925, respectively. The terms of the facility lease provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid.

12.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        In the normal course of business, the Company is at times subject to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings. After reviewing pending and threatened actions and proceedings with counsel, management believes that the outcome of such actions or proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operation of the Company.

13.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

        Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares oustanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, are included in the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation to the extent

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, as amended, allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

        Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that we may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding—other than an action by or in the right of PayPal, Inc.—by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent, or employee of PayPal, Inc., or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, agent or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies (a) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (b) if such person acting in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of PayPal, Inc., and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of PayPal, Inc. as well but only to the extent of defense expenses, including attorneys' fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of liability to PayPal, Inc., unless the court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.

        Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered

II-1



in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

        Our Certificate of Incorporation, attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and Bylaws, attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware Law. In addition, we intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements, attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, with our directors and officers which would require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature. We also intend to maintain director and officer liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act.

        The Underwriting Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities, including matters arising under the Securities Act.

Financial Statement Schedules.

        No financial statement schedules are provided because the information required to be set forth therein is not required or is shown either in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration Statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities—other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding—is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

        (1)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

        (2)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Any such changes to terms and conditions will be subject to Applicable Law.

    2.2
    Marketing of the Program. PayPal and Providian will work jointly to develop and market the Program and to solicit Applications from consumers residing in Providian's Marketing Area to enable Providian to establish Accounts and issue Cards. PayPal and Providian will mutually develop and approve all content for the PayPal Web Site to promote the Program, provided however that PayPal will have the right of prior approval of all marketing, advertising or solicitation material to be used in the marketing of the Program; such approval by PayPal will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed beyond a 10 business day review period. PayPal will incorporate all content identified by Providian as required for compliance with Applicable Law or compliance with Providian card marketing standards. Within 30 days of the execution of this Agreement (unless the parties mutually agree on a different timetable), the parties will agree on a written marketing plan specifically describing responsibilities and a timetable for the parties' implementation and marketing efforts under this Agreement (the "Marketing Plan").

    2.3
    Card Design. Within 30 days of the date of execution of this Agreement, or as otherwise designated in the Marketing Plan, the parties will create mutually acceptable designs for the front and back of the Card, which will include one or more of the PayPal Marks on the front of the Card and one or more of the Providian Marks on the back of the Card and will be subject to Applicable Law. Subject to the foregoing, the PayPal Marks will be in a primary position and the Providian Marks will be in a secondary position on the back of the Card.

    2.4
    Providian as Sole Owner and Creditor of Accounts. Providian will be the sole and complete owner and creditor of, and PayPal will have no right, title or interest in, the Accounts, the Cards or Cardholder Data. Such ownership will in no way be affected by expiration or termination of the Program. As the creditor, Providian will have sole discretion over the criteria that must be met to qualify for an Account, for a credit line increase or for repricing or other incentives Providian may wish to offer to qualified Cardholders. Without limiting the general nature of the foregoing, Providian will have the right to decline an Application or Card request from any person who already has one or more credit cards or open-end revolving lines of credit with Providian or its affiliates. An Application for an Account can only be approved by Providian, and neither PayPal nor any of its employees may legally bind or otherwise commit Providian to any agreement or arrangement of any kind. Providian will have the exclusive right to collect amounts owed by a Cardholder on an Account and to receive payments from Cardholders.

In compliance with Applicable Law and subject to obtaining the Cardholder's consent if required, Providian will have the right to market to Cardholders other banking products of Providian or its affiliates, and third-party membership programs selected by Providian, and Providian may use e-mail, direct mail (including but not limited to inserts with Cardholders' credit card statements), telemarketing and online advertising on the Providian Web Site and related Web

4


      sites for such marketing efforts as long as Providian provides its customers an opt-out option from these marketing efforts. Providian will be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws governing such marketing and advertising efforts.

    2.5
    Providian Non-Exclusivity. Providian and its affiliates will be free to offer credit card alliances, co-branded credit cards or other affiliate programs to other companies, including other Internet-based payment services.

3.    ISSUANCE, ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF ACCOUNTS

    3.1
    Card Offers and Application Evaluation. In accordance with this Agreement, Providian will perform for each type of Account all functions of the issuing bank, including without limitation designing the Application forms, receiving, reviewing and processing Applications for Accounts, providing customer service and otherwise administering and operating the Program and the relationships with Cardholders, evaluating the creditworthiness of each Applicant, establishing credit limits for each Account and issuing Cards to qualified Applicants who accept Providian's offer and pay the applicable fee, if any.

    3.2
    Account and Card Issuance. Providian will evaluate each Application or request for an Account and will open an Account and issue a Card to each Applicant who is creditworthy according to Providian's credit criteria and standards, who accepts the terms of Providian's offer and who pays the applicable fees, if any, to open an Account. As to each Application or request Providian approves, Providian will establish the credit line it deems appropriate. Providian will have no obligation or liability to PayPal in connection with any credit procedure or decision with respect to an Application, and Providian will have no obligation to advise PayPal of its credit criteria or Providian's decision as to any Application or request for a Card. Providian will use its best efforts, subject to maintaining high customer response rates and in accordance with Providian's privacy policies and applicable law, to provide PayPal with information, both aggregate and specific, regarding Members that opened Accounts. PayPal will not communicate with Applicants about their Application; provided however, that if a Member or Non-Member Consumer who is not a Cardholder contacts PayPal via standard PayPal customer service channels with a question about the Program or how to apply for an Account, then PayPal may communicate with those Members or Non-Member Consumers according to PayPal's standard customer relations policies and will refer them to Providian, in a manner to be mutually determined by the parties, including but not limited to prior review and approval by Providian of any script provided by PayPal to its customer service representatives regarding contacts with Applicants, Members and Non-Member Consumers about the Program.

    3.3
    Account Agreements. Providian will be solely responsible for, have complete control and discretion over, and bear the cost of production and printing of any Account Agreement. The contractual relationship with respect to each Account will be between Providian and the respective Cardholder.

    Production of Cards. In accordance with Section 2.3, Providian will produce, store, maintain, and emboss plastic stock for each Card.

    3.5
    Account Administration and Servicing. Providian will be responsible for all Cardholder customer-service and record-retention requirements relating to the processing of Cards and Accounts, including but not limited to Cardholder-initiated calls, Account statements (both on paper and electronic) and online customer service. Providian will bear all costs of administering Accounts, except as otherwise provided under this Agreement. PayPal will not accept payments on Accounts nor accept billing-error notices under the Fair Credit Billing Act (Regulation Z) from Cardholders and instead will promptly forward them to Providian via

5


      first-class mail or, at Providian's request, via overnight courier. If any Cardholder incorrectly makes a check, money order, draft, or other form of payment for an Account payable to the order of PayPal rather than to the order of Providian or its agents, PayPal hereby expressly authorizes Providian to endorse the item on PayPal's behalf and to credit the payment to the appropriate Account. Providian will substantially adhere to the customer performance standards as set forth on Exhibit A. Providian conducts reviews of its corporate wide customer service performance standards and will share these reviews with PayPal on a regular basis. Providian and PayPal will cooperate to develop procedures and a service level agreement ("Service Level Agreement") regarding the referral of Cardholders who contact a party concerning a claim, complaint, dispute or request for information regarding the other party. PayPal will refer to Providian customer service in accordance with such procedures any Cardholders who contact PayPal concerning a claim, complaint, dispute or request for information regarding Providian, Accounts or Cards.

    3.6
    Cardholder Inquiries Regarding PayPal. Providian will refer to PayPal customer service in accordance with the referral procedures described in Section 3.5 any Cardholders who contact Providian concerning a claim, complaint, dispute or request for information concerning PayPal.

In addition, PayPal will provide Providian with any information or documents in its possession reasonably requested by Providian with respect to a Cardholder's dispute concerning Providian, as long as PayPal can release such information or documents in compliance with Applicable Law.

    3.7
    Credit Risk. As between Providian and PayPal, Providian will bear all risk of credit loss on the Accounts and PayPal will have no responsibility for any such loss.

    3.8

Providian will submit to PayPal, for its prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, samples of each of Providian's uses of the PayPal Marks. Providian will use the PayPal Marks in a manner approved by PayPal. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, Providian will promptly cease use of the PayPal Marks.

    3.9
    Legal Compliance. Providian will be responsible for compliance with Applicable Laws with regard to its participation in the Program, its issuance of Cards and its extension of consumer credit, including those Applicable Laws governing billings, consumer credit disclosures, billing error resolution, collections, and any related charges, such as late fees and overlimit fees imposed on Cardholders and Accounts.

4.    PAYPAL MARKETING

    4.1
    PayPal Members List. Within 30 days of the execution of this Agreement or as otherwise specified in the Marketing Plan, PayPal will license to Providian on a non-exclusive basis a list of its Members who in signing up for the PayPal services have not opted out, electing to be excluded from the relevant type of product announcements, together with their e-mail addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, and all other information that PayPal may legally share with Providian that may be relevant to permit Providian to solicit the PayPal members for the Program on a recurring basis throughout the Term of this Agreement. On a regular

6


      basis, but no less often than once in every 90-day period during the Term of this Agreement, PayPal will provide supplementary information to Providian regarding new Members and changed information regarding existing Members. Providian may not use this list, except for offering Cards through the channels provided by Section 4.2.

    4.2
    Providian Marketing to PayPal Members. Providian will design all advertising, solicitation and promotional materials with regard to the Program, which shall be subject to PayPal's approval, unless otherwise agreed, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed beyond a ten-day business day review period. Providian will generally bear all costs of solicitation and fulfillment associated with the Program, except for costs of modification of the PayPal Web Site and direct e-mail solicitations by PayPal associated with the Program, which costs will be borne by PayPal, all unless otherwise agreed. PayPal will be solely authorized to distribute all e-mail solicitations and solely authorized to disseminate web solicitations, in accordance with its Member communication policies, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Unless PayPal agrees to exceptions in writing, Providian will only use PayPal's channels for e-mail and web solicitations. Providian will have the right of prior approval of all marketing, advertising or solicitation material for the Program to be used or developed by PayPal (e.g., direct e-mail conducted by PayPal or Banner Site Ads or other materials on the PayPal Web Site associated with the Program), with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed beyond a 10 business day review period. PayPal will conduct the e-mail direct marketing campaign to its Members of the Program. In connection with PayPal's solicitation by e-mail of its Members, Providian may provide PayPal with such information relevant to credit-worthiness of the Member-solicitees that may be relevant to restricting the solicitation to a subset of Members, and Providian and PayPal agree to cooperate in coordinating such solicitation efforts, in accordance with the Marketing Plan. PayPal agrees to keep all information provided by Providian in accordance with the prior sentence confidential. Also, Providian agrees to keep all information provided by PayPal private, sharing it only as necessary to carry out this Agreement and only to parties bound by confidentiality arrangements at least as strong as this Agreement.

    4.3
    PayPal Web Site. Within 120 days of the execution of this Agreement, or as otherwise provided in the Marketing Plan, Providian and PayPal will provide a description of the Card on the PayPal Web Site, subject to Providian's reasonable approval, with a hyperlink from the PayPal Web Site that will allow Members to apply to Providian for a Card under the Program, and Providian will provide an application page to permit Applications for Cards and online decisions on the Applications, with such online decisions being provided at a service level at least equivalent to the service level available to Providian's other online credit card acquisition websites.

    4.4
    Exclusivity.
    (a)
    Providian as Preferred Credit Card. During the Term of this Agreement, including any Renewal Term, Providian will be the exclusive United States credit card or charge card promoted by PayPal in the PayPal registration process on the PayPal Web Site.

    (b)
    Restrictions on Competing Card Products. PayPal will not, without Providian's written consent, (1) sponsor, develop or participate in a Competing Card Product; (2) license or allow others to license PayPal Marks to promote a Competing Card Product; (3) negotiate, discuss or solicit any offer to market or promote a Competing Card Product; or (4) sell, rent or otherwise make available to the issuer of a Competing Card Product any list of Cardholders or any usage and demographic data on individual Cardholders, provided that PayPal will not be restricted from selling, renting or making available lists of its Members, or usage and demographic data on its Members, in a manner that does not identify which Members are Cardholders. Notwithstanding the

7


        provisions set forth in this Section 4.4, PayPal may accept American Express and Discover on the PayPal system and may inform Members accordingly.

      (c)
      Other Web Sites. With respect to Web sites other than the PayPal Web Site that PayPal may acquire, operate or control during the Term or any Renewal Term, where such Web sites do not already have exclusive relations with an organization other than Providian to offer a Competing Card Product, PayPal will provide Providian with a right of first offer prior to negotiating with, or soliciting proposals from, any party other than Providian to promote, advertise or solicit a Competing Card Product on such Web sites. In the event that the parties are unable to complete an agreement on a credit card alliance or co-branding program for such other Web site within 45 days after PayPal notifies Providian that the first offer period has begun, then PayPal will be free to negotiate to promote Competing Card Products through such other Web site.

      (d)
      Co-brand Sites: PayPal will use its best efforts to include Providian as the preferred credit card under the terms of this Agreementin any co-branded website that PayPal develops in partnership. A co-branded site is one that has third-party branding above the fold, and a URL that indicates the joint offering of the PayPal service with the third party. As required by the specific partnership, PayPal may be required either not to offer Card (or other) Products at all, or to support on the co-branded site the partner's choice of credit card.

      (e)
      New Payment Products. Consistent with the parties' strategic banking relationships, with respect to U.S. domestic New Payment Products other than online person-to-person payment products, if PayPal intends to work with a U.S. domestic banking partner to develop or provide such New Payment Products, it will notify Providian of such intent and negotiate in good faith to use Providian as its banking partner for such New Payment Products. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days of such notice, PayPal will be free to negotiate with other banking partners. With respect to all New Payment Products (including online person-to-person payment products) that PayPal offers to its Members during the Term, PayPal will use its best efforts to ensure that the Card is the system-default and preferred credit card used to purchase or transfer funds into such New Payment Products. PayPal will ensure that promotional materials for the Program are at least equivalent to the promotional materials for any New Payment Products. This provision (e) does not apply to any vendor relationships that PayPal has, or may establish in the future, with banking partners, for use in such services as, and without limitation to, ACH or merchant processing. The provisions of this Section 4.4(e) will apply exclusively to New Payment Products and will not relieve PayPal of any of its other obligations under this Agreement.

      (f)
      Future Line of Credit Product. Providian understands that PayPal has interest in offering to a selected population of Program customers a line of credit product. As and when Providian has developed an improved understanding of the Program customer base, its credit quality and other relevant attributes, Providian will use its best efforts to conduct consumer tests which validate the market for such Line of Credit product and the attendant increased credit risks, if any. Providian agrees to complete this analysis within nine (9) months of the date of the signing of this Agreement, and within that time agrees to provide to PayPal a written determination of whether Providian will make a line of credit product available to the Members as part of this Program. If Providian elects to provide the line of credit, then Providian agrees to begin offering the line of credit within twelve (12) months after the date of the execution of this Agreement. If Providian states in writing to PayPal that Providian will not offer the line of credit product to Members or fails to commence offering it within the time limit set forth in this Section 4.4(f), then

8


        PayPal may work with another issuer to permit that issuer to provide a line of credit product that it may offer to Members, provided that PayPal may actively promote such line of credit only to Members who have been turned down by Providian for a Card under the Program or Members who have been solicited via direct solicitation for a Card at least 4 times and have not pursued such solicitations or have not accepted the Card offers. For purposes of this paragraph, "actively promote" means promotions or marketing where such other line of credit appears alone or more prominently than the other featured financial products. Except as set forth in this Section PayPal will not sponsor, develop, solicit or discuss any line of credit program for Members with any other issuers during the term of this Agreement.

      (g)
      Private Label Service. As and when appropriate, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith over the terms and conditions of a license by PayPal to Providian, on a private label basis, of the PayPal peer-to-peer payment technology on mutually agreed terms. Without Providian's written consent, PayPal will not provide its technology on a private-label basis to any U.S. domestic third party (except pursuant to its current Intuit/Quick Books arrangement and to Microsoft, or to Visa or MasterCard for re-licensing to their members) during the Term without first offering it to Providian under terms at least as favorable. PayPal retains all rights to international versions of its payment service, including private-label offerings, without the right of first offer to Providian. "Private Label" means the use of the PayPal Services under solely a third party brand.
    4.5
    Limited License to Providian Marks. Providian hereby grants to PayPal a limited, royalty-free, exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 15.7 below), non-sublicensable right to use, display and reproduce Providian Marks in connection with PayPal's marketing, promotion and operation of the Program as set forth in this Agreement. PayPal will submit to Providian for its prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, samples of each of PayPal's uses of Providian Marks, and PayPal will use Providian Marks in a manner approved by Providian. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, Providian will promptly cease use of Providian Marks.

    4.6
    Legal Compliance. PayPal will comply with all Applicable Laws regarding its participation in the Program, including those governing advertising, incentive offers and on-line privacy issues and will comply with all Applicable Laws governing the PayPal Services.

5.    COMPENSATION

    5.1
    Interchange Fee. Providian will compensate PayPal for [*] of the Interchange Income it earns for those Cards which transact on the PayPal system (where PayPal is the Merchant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in circumstances where a PayPal user is also an already existing Providian credit cardholder holding a credit card other than a Card issued under this Program, Providian will not be obligated to reimburse interchange in the amount described in this Section 5.1. Where an existing Providian cardholder uses the PayPal system, Providian will make its best efforts to offer that credit cardholder a second Card under which PayPal would be entitled to the interchange reimbursement formula described in the first sentence of this Section 5.1, so long as the cardholder (i) meets Providian's then-applied policies and standards regarding creditworthiness and eligibility, and (ii) has completed during the previous 180 days at least one payment in a transaction using the PayPal system. Providian will solicit Cards under this provision at least twice yearly, subject to PayPal's approval of the content of any solicitations or marketing materials. All second Cards under this Program offered to existing Providian credit cardholders will be offered on terms and conditions equal to or better than such cardholder's pre-existing credit card.

    5.2
    Basis Point Fee. Providian will reimburse to PayPal [*] basis points of the net amount of purchase transactions where PayPal is not acting as the Merchant by Cardholders using Cards, when such transactions are posted to an Account that remained in good standing at the end of the previous calendar month and are not, prior to the time of Providian's compensation payment to PayPal: (1) rescinded, (2) the subject of a Charge-back request, (3) reversed through a credit adjustment, or (4) otherwise disputed. Purchase transactions will not include balance transfers, cash advance transactions, the imposition of fees (including annual membership fees and fees for membership products) or transactions categorized as "quasi-cash" transactions under Card Association rules.

    5.3
    Sunset. Except as provided in Section 6.8 of this Agreement, upon the expiration of this Agreement, or if during the term of this Agreement either party exercises its termination rights pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Providian will cease to pay compensation to PayPal as of the effective date of such expiration or termination; provided that Providian will be responsible for all payments that have accrued up to the date of such expiration or termination.

    5.4
    Payment Timing. Providian will pay all amounts due to PayPal arising from money received by Providian in a given month within 45 days of the end of that calendar month.

6.    TERM; TERMINATION

    6.1
    Term. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Term will be five (5) years from the date this Agreement is signed.

    6.2
    Exclusive Negotiation Period. The parties agree to an exclusive negotiation period of 90 days, to commence 90 days before the date the Term terminates, for purposes of discussing the terms and conditions of a renewal or extension of this Agreement.

    6.3
    Termination for Breach. If either party materially breaches a material term of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by giving notice, as provided in Section 15.5, to the breaching party. This notice will: (a) describe the material breach; and (b) state the party's intention to terminate this Agreement. If the breaching party does not cure or substantially cure its material breach within 30 days after receipt of notice as described in this Section (the "Cure Period"), then the non-breaching party may immediately terminate this Agreement by giving notice at any time following the end of such Cure Period. Neither

10


      party will be held in breach for failure to perform under this Agreement if such failure is due to compliance with Applicable Law.

    6.4
    Termination for Material Change in Applicable Law. Either party may terminate this Agreement on the effective date of any change in the legal or regulatory requirements applicable to the Program, or in the MasterCard or Visa rules applicable to the Program, that: (a) has a substantial negative impact on the financial burdens or rewards of the terminating party with respect to the Program, which the non-terminating party is unwilling or unable to accommodate; or (b) would render performance of a material obligation of the terminating party hereunder a violation of the Card Association rules, illegal or otherwise subject to legal challenge, unless performance of such material obligation is waived by the non-terminating party. The terminating party will notify the other party of such change within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of such change.

    6.5
    Termination for Insolvency. If either Providian or PayPal becomes insolvent in that its liabilities exceed its assets, or is adjudicated insolvent, or takes advantage of or is subject to any insolvency proceeding, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is subject to bankruptcy receivership, conservatorship or liquidation, then the other party may immediately terminate this Agreement.

    6.6
    Termination for Improper Activities. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon 15 Business Days' advance written notice to the other party of such intent to terminate if, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the other party is conducting activities that the terminating party determines are materially harmful to relationships with its federal or state supervisory or law enforcement agencies, provided that the terminating party promptly notifies the other party of such activity, provides evidence of such activity, and the other party does not cure such activity to the terminating party's sole and complete satisfaction within 15 Business Days of notification to the terminating party.

    6.7
    Termination for Failure to Generate Minimum Card Purchase Volume. If, by the dates set forth in Exhibit C, the Program has not resulted in at least the stated percentages for purchase transactions using the Cards set forth in Exhibit C (as calculated in Section 5.1 above, but including transactions where PayPal is the Merchant), then either party may terminate this Agreement by sending thirty (30) days written notice to the other, without giving rise to any damage claim for termination:

    6.8
    Termination Due to Merger or Sale or Acquisition By Competitor or for Change in PayPal Business Model.
    (a)
    If either party enters into any merger, acquisition or agreement providing for the transfer of control or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, then the non-merging party will have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing the merging party with 30 days' advance written notice of such termination. In addition, if PayPal enters into any merger, acquisition or agreement providing for the transfer of control or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, or any transaction with, a competitor of Providian identified on Exhibit B or any of its affiliates (a "Competitor") and Providian exercises its right to terminate this Agreement as set forth above then PayPal shall pay Providian damages in the amount of $2 million. If PayPal exercises its right to terminate this Agreement as set forth above then PayPal shall pay Providian damages in the amount based on the duration of the term prior to the termination, as follows: within six months after the Effective Date, PayPal will pay Providian upon termination $5 million; if at least 6 months but less than 12 months after the Effective Date, PayPal will pay Providian upon termination $4 million; if at least 12 months but less than 18 months after the Effective Date, PayPal will pay Providian upon termination $3 million; if at least

11


        18 months, but less than 30 months after the Effective Date, PayPal will pay Providian upon termination $2 million; if at least 30 months, but less than 42 months after the Effective Date, PayPal will pay Providian upon termination $1 million.

      (b)
      A material feature of the Program is the on-going branding of the PayPal Web Site and the implicit endorsement of the PayPal Co-Branded Program Card. Should the PayPal business model be materially altered with the PayPal branding (e.g., through name change due to acquisition or sale, etc.), which subsequently or through time, in Providian's discretion, materially alters the ability to originate accounts within the Program, then Providian may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) day's notice unless the terms and conditions of all future compensation and or reimbursement arrangements are revised to Providian's satisfaction. If Providian terminates the agreement for this reason, there will be no compensation payment.
    6.9
    Effects of Expiration or Termination.
    (a)
    Upon termination of this Agreement, Providian will have the right to use the PayPal Marks on Cards issued prior to such termination, on periodic statements and on records of, or (subject to PayPal's prior written approval) on correspondence to, any Cardholder until expiration of the Cards (provided that, if the Agreement terminates for a reason other than (1) breach of this Agreement by PayPal, (2) sale or merger of PayPal, or (3) Section 6.5, Providian will continue to pay PayPal as provided in Section 5 for a period of 1 year from the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement), and thereafter Providian will cease to use the PayPal Marks except for identification purposes when necessary on Cardholder service or collection letters. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Providian will not claim any right, title, or interest in or to the PayPal Marks or to any mailing lists provided pursuant to this Agreement. However, Providian may use the PayPal Marks to complete any solicitation that Providian is required by law to complete. PayPal will not cause or attempt to cause the removal of PayPal's identification or PayPal Marks from any Cardholder's Cards, checks or records already existing on the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement. Neither party will make or distribute any disparaging or defamatory remarks regarding the other party, its products or services or its performance under this Agreement.

    (b)
    In the event of a termination (including expiration) of this Agreement, the parties will cooperate to develop a joint notice to Cardholders regarding the termination of the Program within 30 days of termination. In the event the termination results from a material breach by either party, the breaching party will bear the cost of developing and distributing such notice to Cardholders and to Members. In the event of a termination for other cause, both parties will bear one- half of the cost of developing and distributing such notice to Cardholders and to Members. If the parties are unable to reach a consensus on the language and format of the notice of termination within 30 days of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, then either party or both parties may communicate the fact of the termination of the Program to Cardholders (but not to Members who are not Cardholders) without stating the reasons for termination, and may describe to Cardholders a replacement credit card program for the Program without stating the reasons for the termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing; (1) if this Agreement is terminated by Providian due to a breach by PayPal, PayPal shall have no right to solicit Cardholders for replacement cards for 24 months (other than through a general solicitation to all Members without targeting the Cardholders) and (2) PayPal will not target-solicit Cardholders to cancel their Accounts and accept another card.

    (c)
    In the event of a termination of this Agreement under Section 6.5, then Providian will have all rights to use any information contained within the Members List for purposes of

12


        credit card solicitation. Providian may keep the Accounts, but must destroy the Members Lists in all other circumstances.

      (d)
      The parties agree that the Member List provided by PayPal to Providian (or to be provided by PayPal to Providian) under this Agreement, constitutes "intellectual property" as that term is defined and used in the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101(35A), § 365(n), and that in the event of any bankruptcy of PayPal, Providian would be entitled to use the Member List for the remaining Term notwithstanding any intervening bankruptcy by PayPal or attempt by PayPal to terminate or reject this Agreement under bankruptcy law. Notwithstanding any PayPal bankruptcy, PayPal agrees to continue to provide the Member List information and to provide copies of the Member List information to Providian on a timely basis during the bankruptcy proceeding, and in any event at least every thirty days.

  6.10   Survival of Terms of the Agreement. The provisions of Sections 1, 3.5, 3.6, 6.9, 8.1-8.3, 8.6, 9-12, 14 and 15 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

7.    COMMUNICATIONS

    7.1
    Initial Public Announcement. On or before February 9, 2001, the parties agree that they will both approve the wording of a mutually-acceptable press release announcing on or before that date the terms of this Agreement.

    7.2
    Future Cooperation on Publicity. From and after the date of this Agreement, Providian will work with PayPal as its strategic partner to enhance PayPal's relationships with the Card Associations, specifically Visa. Press releases describing the parties' strategic relationships and the Program will not be made without the mutual written consent of each party, which will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Without the written permission of Providian, PayPal will not discuss any specifics of this Agreement or the Program with issuers of other cards, except to disclose to those issuers that exclusivity provisions in this Agreement prohibit its discussion of or entering into agreements for offerings of Competing Card Products. Without prior written approval from Providian, PayPal will not generally communicate with PayPal customers, potential customers, or outside parties (other than PayPal's attorneys, auditors, financial advisors and other agents or contractors with a reason to know within a confidential relationship or confidentiality agreement) about the Program or Providian's investment in PayPal. Providian will not unreasonably withhold consent or delay consent beyond a ten business-day period.

    7.3
    Foreign Jurisdictions. PayPal acknowledges and agrees that Providian has a presence in the United Kingdom and Argentina and may in the future, through international banking relationships or otherwise, obtain a banking license in other foreign jurisdictions. The parties agree to confer, negotiate, and cooperate in good faith to explore other opportunities to work together to exploit joint opportunities in those jurisdictions.

    7.4
    E-Mail Policy. PayPal has an interest in avoiding overly aggressive e-mail solicitation of its Members. If PayPal substantially changes its policy of e-mail solicitations approximately three times per quarter, it shall inform Providian in advance. This provision does not constitute an obligation for PayPal either to expand its policy, nor expands nor changes the provisions in Section 4.2 on type or frequency of marketing that Providian may conduct to Members.

8.    COLLECTION AND USE OF CARDHOLDER DATA

    8.1
    Providian Ownership of Data. Providian will collect, maintain, and be the sole owner of all Cardholder Data. Providian may use the Cardholder Data in a manner consistent with this Agreement for any legitimate business purpose and in compliance with Applicable Law,

13


      provided that no personally identifiable Cardholder Data will be disclosed or transferred by Providian to any third party (other than credit reporting agencies or as otherwise necessary or appropriate for administration, servicing and funding of the Accounts) without the Cardholder's prior express consent.

    8.2
    PayPal Ownership of Data. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, PayPal will be the sole and complete owner of all Member Lists and all proprietary information pertaining to Members provided by PayPal to Providian pursuant to this Agreement and of all information provided to PayPal by a Member in PayPal's registration process. Providian may only use the data provided by PayPal to make the Card offering and other products mutually agreed upon. Providian may not use the data for any marketing, other than provided by the channels in this agreement. Furthermore, Providian may not sell, lease, or otherwise disclose this data to any third party. Finally, Providian may not sell or market directly to Members who have been declined for a Card, or sell, lease or otherwise disclose their information to any third party. However, Providian may maintain and use information obtained by Providian as a result of an Account relationship by a Member or a Non-Member Consumer, and may use other Member list information as provided in Section 6.8(c) above. The provisions of this Section 8.2 will not prohibit Providian from using information relating to Members which Providian acquires by other means.

    8.3
    Privacy Policies. Providian and PayPal will maintain and publish on their Web sites in a prominent manner privacy policies in compliance with Applicable Law. Each party will provide the other with notice of any changes to their privacy policy promptly after the effective date of such changes.

9.    CONFIDENTIALITY

    9.1
    Duty to Keep Proprietary Information Confidential. Providian Confidential Information is a confidential and valuable proprietary asset of Providian. PayPal Confidential Information is a confidential and valuable proprietary asset of PayPal. Each party, the Card Associations and each party's respective employees, agents, third-party subcontractors and independent contractors ("Representatives") will treat as strictly confidential all Confidential Information and proprietary third-party products that the other party provides in connection with the Program. They will not disclose or duplicate Confidential Information or third-party products to anyone not having a need to know in connection with the performance of this Agreement and will not use them except in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Each party will take all steps needed to ensure that its Representatives preserve this confidentiality.

    9.2
    Duty To Keep This Agreement Confidential; Press Release. PayPal and Providian will maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and its terms and will not disclose this Agreement or its terms to any third party; provided, however, that either party may disclose this Agreement or its terms: (a) as required by Applicable Law, (b) to its subsidiaries, affiliates and parent companies, (c) to its accountants, legal advisors and financial advisors, and (d) either party may issue a press release about the Program upon execution of this Agreement if the press release has the written approval of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Providian and PayPal will consult with each other prior to any conference with the press or other news media relating to the Program or this Agreement, including consultation with regard to responses to inquiries from the press or other media about the Program or this Agreement.

    9.3
    Duty to Notify Other Party of Any Mandated Disclosure. Each party will notify the other immediately if it receives a subpoena or other legal process referring to Confidential Information or documents containing Confidential Information and will cooperate in any

14


      effort the owner of such Confidential Information has to comply with or to contest the legal process.

10.  INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

  10.1   By PayPal. PayPal will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Providian against each claim, action, damage (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) or liability resulting from or relating to PayPal's breach of its obligations or of any terms (including, but not limited to, any representation or warranty) under this Agreement; and any acts or omissions of PayPal, its directors, officers, agents or employees in connection with PayPal's participation in the Program.

10.3

 

Liability Limitation. Notwithstanding any other terms in this Agreement, neither party will be entitled to recover special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages, whether based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, and whether or not that party has been advised of the possibility of such damage, except that this limitation will not apply to damages resulting from either party's breach of its confidentiality obligations under Section 9, its representation and warranty under Section 14.1(f), or (h), or 14.2(f) or (g), or its obligations under Section 15.1.

11.  ARBITRATION

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and will be deemed Confidential Information.

12.  FORCE MAJEURE

    Neither party will be responsible, nor incur any liability to the other for any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement due to causes beyond its control, including, without limitation, fire, storm, flood, acts of war, accident, insurrection, sabotage, labor disputes, computer system malfunction, acts of God, acts of third parties, acts of federal, state or local government or judicial action ("force majeure"), provided that such actions that do not substantially hinder or prohibit performance will not excuse performance. If an event of force majeure is caused by a labor dispute, computer system malfunction, or government or judicial action arising from the business operations of a party and continues for 60 days or more, the other party may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.

13.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

SERVICE AGREEMENT

        This Service Agreement dated as of September 25, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), is between First Data Resources Inc. ("FDR") and X.com Corporation ("Customer"). References to "Customer" throughout shall include Customer's Affiliates which are receiving the Services.


Recitals

        WHEREAS, FDR and Customer wish to enter into this Agreement in order for FDR to provide and for Customer to receive data processing and related services in connection with Customer's Accounts;

        NOW THEREFORE, FDR and Customer agree as follows:


Article 1
Definitions and Interpretation

        Section 1.1.    Definitions.    Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit C.

        Section 1.2.    Interpretation.    Each definition in this Agreement includes the singular and the plural and the word "including" means "including but not limited to". References to any statute or regulation means such statute or regulation as amended at the time and includes any successor statute or regulation. The section headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be considered in its interpretation. The Exhibits referred to throughout this Agreement are attached hereto and are incorporated herein.


Article 2
Services

        Section 2.1.    Services.    FDR shall make available to and perform for Customer those services described in Exhibit A (the "Services"). Exhibit A and any document or service referred to in Exhibit A shall be subject to periodic revision by FDR to reflect changes (i) to the FDR System or the services provided by FDR and offered generally to FDR customers and (ii) in the specific Services provided to Customer. The Services shall be made available to Customer in the United States to permit processing of Transaction Cards used by Customer's Clients worldwide through the clearing and settlement networks of the Networks, VISA and MasterCard. The offline debit card processing Services shall be performed substantially in accordance with the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit "G".

        Section 2.2.    Enhancements.    

        (a)  Customer may periodically request customizations, enhancements, additions or modifications (each an "Enhancement") to the FDR System. FDR shall evaluate all such requests and, if terms and conditions can be agreed to (which shall include payment by Customer of FDR's development charges), FDR shall develop and implement each such Enhancement on terms and conditions agreed to by the parties. Timing of any Enhancement is subject to scheduling and prioritization by FDR of FDR's available resources, provided that FDR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely respond to Customer's requests and resource requirements. FDR may withhold its consent to an Enhancement which, in FDR's sole discretion, would materially and adversely affect FDR's operations. Any Enhancement shall remain solely the property of FDR and Customer shall acquire no right, claim or interest in the FDR System. Subject to the foregoing, after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, FDR agrees not to exercise any of its intellectual property rights in any Enhancement paid for exclusively by Customer to prevent Customer from directly or indirectly replicating and redeveloping such Enhancement or using the results of such replication and redevelopment efforts, provided that no code, documentation, or specifications to the Enhancement or any other aspect or component of the FDR System is hereby granted or licensed to Customer, by implication or otherwise, and FDR shall be the sole owner of all property rights and intellectual property rights in connection therewith during and after the Term of this Agreement.

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.


        (b)  Customer understands that it is FDR's practice to provide any Enhancements developed by FDR, whether requested and paid for by its customers or based upon FDR's development and its expense, to its entire customer base. In the event that FDR develops an Enhancement at the request of Customer and the development costs and expenses are paid solely by Customer and FDR's customer base commences to use such after its implementation for Customer, then FDR shall reimburse Customer for the development costs and expenses paid by Customer to FDR as provided for in this Section 2.2(b). In order for Customer to be eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), the Enhancement must (i) require at least one hundred (100) programming hours, and (ii) generate gross revenues from other FDR customers in excess of $1,000,000 within four (4) years of initial implementation. If any such Enhancement meets the reimbursement criteria, at the conclusion of each of Processing Years 1 through 4, FDR will reimburse Customer's development expense, but not to exceed the lesser of Customer's total expenditures or fifty percent (50%) of the gross revenues received from other FDR customers during each such Processing Year for the use of such qualified Enhancement. Additionally, in the event that FDR develops an Enhancement at the request of Customer and the development costs and expenses are paid solely by Customer and give Customer a demonstrable competitive advantage in the debit card issuing marketplace, FDR agrees not to make such Enhancement available to FDR's customer base for six (6) months after such Enhancement is made available to Customer.

        Section 2.3.    Start-Up.    

        (a)  FDR shall provide, subject to the applicable approvals of MasterCard (including but not limited to the approvals in Exhibit H) and the Networks, for completion of the initial Start-Up within sixty (60) days of execution of this Agreement or at a later date as may be mutually agreed upon by FDR and Customer (the "Scheduled Start-Up Date"). To the extent that FDR and Customer mutually agree, the Scheduled Start-Up Date may be modified from time to time prior to Start-Up.

        (b)  Customer will (i) use all reasonable resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel to assure timely performance of those functions required of Customer under the Start-Up, and (ii) comply with any reasonable directions of FDR so as to enable Start-Up to be completed on or before the Scheduled Start-Up Date.

        (c)  FDR will use all reasonable resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel to assure timely performance of those functions required of FDR under the Start-Up so as to enable Start-Up to be completed on or by the Scheduled Start-Up Date.

        (d)  Provided that FDR has performed its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.3, Customer agrees to pay the initial Start-Up Fee as provided for in Exhibit "A", Section V, Paragraph (e). In addition, each party shall be responsible for and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the Start-Up.

        Section 2.4.    Compliance With Law.    

        (a)  FDR and Customer acknowledge that Customer is subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions and interpretations applicable to its Transaction Card business, including without limitation those pertaining to equal credit opportunity, truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, fair debt collection practices and general consumer protection (the "Legal Requirements"). The parties shall cooperate with each other in resolving issues relating to compliance with the Legal Requirements in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4.

        (b)  Customer is solely responsible for (i) monitoring and interpreting the Legal Requirements, (ii) determining the particular actions, disclosures, formulas, calculations and procedures required for

2



compliance with the Legal Requirements (whether to be performed by FDR or by Customer) and (iii) maintaining an ongoing program for compliance with the Legal Requirements. In addition, Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and selecting the parameter settings and programming features and options within the FDR System that will apply to Customer's Transaction Card programs, and for determining that its selection of such settings, features and options is consistent with the Legal Requirements and with the terms and conditions of Customer's accounts and disclosures to such Cardholders. In making such determinations, Customer may rely on the written description of such settings, features and options in the User Manuals, customer bulletins and other system documentation provided by FDR to Customer.

        (c)  FDR is solely responsible for compliance with all laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions applicable to FDR as a third party provider of data processing services. FDR will not be responsible for any violation by Customer of a Legal Requirement to the extent such violation occurs as a result of performance by FDR of the Services in accordance with the FDR System documentation, instructions of Customer or written procedures provided by or approved by Customer.

        (d)  Subject to the terms of Article 10, FDR and Customer shall cooperate with each other in providing information or records in connection with examinations, requests or proceedings of each other's and Sponsor Bank's regulatory authorities.

        Section 2.5.    Execution by Affiliates.    Each of Customer's Affiliates which receives any of the Services shall be required to execute an Affiliate Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. In no event shall FDR be required to perform any of the Services for any such Affiliate prior to the execution of an Affiliate Agreement by such Affiliate. All representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed given and made by Customer's Affiliate upon execution of an Affiliate Agreement.

        Section 2.6.    Sponsorship with VISA and/or MasterCard.    During the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall conduct its business and make all undertakings reasonable or necessary in order that Customer's Accounts may be eligible for sponsorship by a Sponsor Bank member of the Networks, VISA and/or MasterCard. Customer acknowledges that neither FDR nor the Sponsor Bank shall be required to provide any Service under this Agreement or sponsor the Customer's Accounts to the extent the Service or sponsorship requires or may require actions or undertakings which in the reasonable discretion of FDR or the Sponsor Bank are not permitted by the Networks, VISA and/or MasterCard. During the Term hereof, Customer and FDR shall reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the Sponsor Bank and any successor Sponsor Bank and other aspects of Customer's Accounts with its Clients, including but not limited to disclosures to Customer's Clients.


Article 3
Exclusivity, Acquired Portfolios and Merger or Change of Control

        Section 3.1.    Sole and Exclusive Provider.    During the Term, FDR shall be the sole and exclusive provider to Customer and its Affiliates of all signature and PIN based Transaction Card processing services for credit card and debit card issuing, and transaction processing, clearing and settlement through the Networks and VISA and MasterCard, and each of Customer and its Affiliates shall neither perform or provide any service similar to such services for itself nor engage any third party to perform or provide any such services. Anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, FDR understands that at the time of the execution of this Agreement Customer has issued and is receiving processing services from a third party in connection with certain debit accounts issued pursuant to VISA "BIN" 443105 (the "Excluded BIN"). Nothing in this Section 3.1 shall prevent Customer from maintaining and adding debit card accounts to the Excluded BIN during the Term of this Agreement.

        Section 3.2.    Acquired FDR Portfolios.    If Customer or any of its Affiliates ("Purchaser") Acquires any accounts for which FDR is then providing services similar to the Services (an "FDR Portfolio"),

3



FDR shall continue to perform the services pursuant to the pre-existing service agreement (the "Existing FDR Agreement") which shall remain in effect through the expiration of its then-current term. On the expiration of the Existing FDR Agreement and transfer of the FDR Portfolio to Customer on the FDR System, the FDR Portfolio shall be processed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. FDR shall not include the volumes from the FDR Portfolio in any volume based price schedules set forth in Exhibit A until such time as the Existing FDR Agreement expires and there is a transfer of the FDR Portfolio to Customer on the FDR System. Such transfer of the FDR Portfolio shall occur on a mutually agreed upon date. In connection with such transfer, Customer shall bear the costs and expenses of such transfer, at the then-standard hourly rates of FDR plus related material charges.

        Section 3.3.    Acquired Non-FDR Portfolios.    

        (a)  If Purchaser Acquires any accounts that require services substantially similar to the services for which FDR is the sole and exclusive provider to Customer pursuant to Section 3.1, but for which FDR is not then providing such services (a "Non-FDR Portfolio"), Customer shall use its reasonable best efforts to start-up such Non-FDR Portfolio to the FDR System within six (6) months after the closing of the Acquisition or, if Customer is bound by the terms of an existing agreement to obtain processing services for such portfolio (an "Existing Non-FDR Agreement"), upon the expiration of the then-remaining term of the Existing Non-FDR Agreement, whichever is later. If Purchaser is bound by an Existing Non-FDR Agreement, then, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Non-FDR Portfolio shall continue to be processed pursuant to such Existing Non-FDR Agreement through its expiration date. In connection with any such start-up, FDR shall have a reasonable period of time to perform due diligence and propose a start-up plan. Unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the start-up plan as mutually agreed to by the parties, Customer shall pay all charges for start-up of each Non-FDR Portfolio including (A) FDR's standard start-up charges (at $150/hour for resources plus related materials charges), and (B) any charges (at $150/ hour for resources plus related materials charges) associated with any customization of the FDR System specified in the start-up plan applicable to each such Non-FDR Portfolio. Any such customization shall remain solely the property of FDR, and Customer shall acquire no right, claim, or interest in the FDR System or any customization thereof during or after the Term.

        (b)  If Purchaser and FDR agree that the remaining term of an Existing Non-FDR Agreement will not provide adequate time to prepare for an orderly start-up to the FDR System, Purchaser may extend the term of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement after it Acquires the Non-FDR Portfolio; provided, however, that no such extension may cause the term of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement to extend to a date which is more than six (6) months after Customer's Acquisition of the Non-FDR Portfolio. In addition, Customer shall deliver any written notice which is required to prevent an automatic extension or renewal of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement.

        (c)  Purchaser shall notify FDR, in writing, within thirty (30) days after the execution of any binding agreement to Acquire a Non-FDR Portfolio if Purchaser intends to obtain processing services pursuant to an Existing Non-FDR Agreement and shall use its best efforts to provide FDR with a copy of the provisions of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement dealing with the term, renewal and termination thereof upon the execution by FDR of any appropriate confidentiality agreement that may be required, unless prohibited by the terms of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement.

        Section 3.4.    Disposition of Portfolios.    Upon the sale or other disposition by Customer of all or any portion of Customer's accounts (the "Former Accounts"), FDR will cooperate in the Deconversion of the Former Accounts from the FDR System, and upon Deconversion shall no longer be obligated to provide Services for the Former Accounts for Customer pursuant to this Agreement and Customer and FDR agree that there shall be no reduction in the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or the Minimum Processing Fees set forth in Section 4.4.

4



        Section 3.5.    Merger or Change of Control.    If Customer is merged into an Entity that, prior to such merger, was not an Affiliate of Customer, and such Entity is the survivor of such merger (the "Surviving Entity"), then (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Customer Accounts which were subject to this Agreement prior to such merger, but shall not apply to any accounts of the Surviving Entity or any of its Affiliates which were not subject to this Agreement prior to such merger and (ii) the Surviving Entity, as Customer's successor-in-interest, shall continue to be bound by Customer's obligations hereunder. If there is a Change of Control of Customer, then the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Customer Accounts of Customer and its Affiliates immediately prior to such Change of Control, but shall not apply to any accounts of the Entity that Acquires Control of Customer and its Affiliates which were not subject to this Agreement prior to such Change of Control.


Article 4
Payment for Services

        Section 4.1.    Processing Fees.    Customer shall pay FDR the Processing Fees set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. For each Processing Year after Processing Year 1, FDR may increase each line item of Processing Fees set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement which were in effect for the immediately preceding Processing Year by [*] increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") as described below but only to the extent the CPI in any such Processing Year shall exceed [*]. For purposes hereof, the CPI shall be the index compiled by the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers ("CPI-U") having a base of 100 in 1982-84, using that portion of the index which appears under the caption "Other Goods and Services." The percentage increase in the CPI shall be calculated as of ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of such increase, by comparing the CPI using a twelve (12) month period ending three (3) months prior to the effective date of such increase and expressing the increase in said CPI through the twelve (12) month period as a percentage.

        Section 4.2.    Special Fees.    Customer shall pay to FDR the Special Fees for amounts paid to third-party providers, computed in accordance with Exhibit A to this Agreement. If, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, the charges are increased to FDR for items which are included in the Special Fees or FDR obtains communication or other services included in the Special Fees by another method, resulting in an increase in the charges to FDR for such items, then FDR shall increase by an equal amount the Special Fees Customer is then paying FDR for such items under this Agreement. Such price change by FDR shall be effective on the effective date of the increase to FDR.

        Section 4.3.    New Products.    If FDR commences to offer any new services or products generally to its customers and Customer elects to use any such service or product, or if Customer elects to use services or products which Customer had not previously elected to use, then FDR shall provide such service or product at FDR's then-current fees and charges for such service or product or such other price as FDR and Customer may mutually agree.

        Section 4.4.    Minimum Fees.    

        (a)  In Processing Year 1, Customer will require and shall pay FDR for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to [*] (the "Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee"). In each Processing Year after Processing Year 1, except as provided in subsection (b), Customer will require and shall pay FDR for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to [*] of the Processing Fees paid during the immediately preceding Processing Year, but in no event less than [*] in each such Processing Year (the "Minimum Processing Fees"). FDR shall calculate the total Processing Fees paid by Customer in respect of Services performed during each Processing Year (the "Total Annual Processing Fees") within ninety (90) days after the end of each Processing Year and will, after ten (10) days written notice to Customer, draw upon Customer's account pursuant to

5



Section 4.5 of this Agreement for the amount, if any, by which the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year exceed the Total Annual Processing Fees for the Processing Year. For the avoidance of doubt and based on economic assumptions material to each party underlying this transaction, Customer and FDR expressly agree that Customer shall pay FDR Processing Fees each Processing Year in an amount at least equal to the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, until this Agreement is terminated by Customer pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), or after Customer shall have paid FDR the Minimum Processing Fees for the year of termination as determined pursuant to this subsection (a) in the case of a termination pursuant to Sections 9.2(d) or 9.2(e) or pursuant to subsection (b) below in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.2(c), or until FDR terminates this Agreement and invokes compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4.

        (b)  If Customer shall elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2(c), then in the Processing Year in which the Deconversion shall occur, the Minimum Processing Fees for such Processing Year shall be at least equal to [*] of the Processing Fees paid during the immediately preceding Processing Year, but prorated for the number of calendar months which will have expired as of the date the final Deconversion shall occur. The payment of the Minimum Processing Fees by Customer shall be prior to Deconversion.

        Section 4.5.    Method of Payment.    To facilitate the payment of Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement and any other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount due or payable to FDR under this Agreement, Customer shall provide FDR with access to a bank account of Customer's funds not requiring signature including notifying FDR of the demand deposit account number and transit routing number for the account. FDR may draw upon the bank account to pay fees, taxes, interest payments, charges, or any other amount due or payable to FDR under the terms of this Agreement. The detailed records of the amounts drawn on the account of Customer will be provided by FDR to Customer on a monthly basis. FDR shall be under no obligation to effect any Start-Up until the account has been established as provided herein.

        Section 4.6.    Interest.    If FDR is unable to obtain payment of Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement or any other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount due or payable to FDR under this Agreement at the time provided for payment under this Agreement, the unpaid amount of any Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement or other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of (a) [*], or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from the date on which payment should have been available until the date on which FDR receives the payment. In the event Customer disputes any amount payable to FDR pursuant to Section 5.1, any amount which is paid by Customer and later determined not to have been payable shall bear interest from the date paid until refunded by FDR to Customer at the applicable rate set forth above.

        Section 4.7.    Taxes.    

        (a)  Customer shall pay all taxes and similar charges, however designated, which are imposed by any governmental authority by reason of FDR's fulfillment of its obligations hereunder except for income taxes payable by FDR on amounts earned by FDR or property taxes payable by FDR on property owned by FDR. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall promptly pay FDR for any amounts actually paid or required to be collected or paid by FDR.

        (b)  Customer authorizes FDR to calculate the total amount of sales taxes due from Customer hereunder. Customer shall supply FDR with all information necessary for FDR to compute and remit the taxes (including any tax-exempt certificate, claim letter, or similar documentation). FDR shall remit the sales taxes to the appropriate taxing authority on behalf of Customer based on the information available to FDR. If FDR underpays or overpays such sales taxes, Customer shall be responsible for

6



promptly paying any shortfalls (including any penalties or interest) and for collecting any refunds from the appropriate taxing authority; provided, however, if such underpayment is solely the result of the negligence of FDR, FDR shall be responsible for any penalties associated with such underpayment.

        Section 4.8.    Deconversion.    Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, FDR shall provide Deconversion assistance to Customer as Customer may reasonably request, provided however, that in no event shall FDR be obligated to Deconvert any of Customer's Accounts until a date which is mutually agreed upon and at least thirty (30) days but not greater than six (6) months after notice by Customer to FDR requesting such Deconversion, provided that if such notice is given and the six (6) month period ends during the FDR System "freeze period" which occurs annually between the third weekend in November and the third week in January, then the period in which to complete the Deconversion shall be extended until the February implementation date following the expiration of such "freeze period." Except in the event of Deconversion occurring as a result of termination of the Agreement by Customer pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), Customer shall pay FDR, the rate of $150/hour for resources for each activity completed by FDR in order to accomplish the Deconversion and for all costs, including postage or shipping, of complying with Section 10.1. FDR agrees that it will not interfere with efforts that Customer may undertake upon Deconversion to retain its Accounts' BINs or ICAs following Deconversion through a separate agreement with the Sponsor Bank; provided however, that nothing contained herein shall require FDR or Sponsor Bank to transfer the BINs or ICAs used in connection with Customer's Accounts to Customer or any third party.


Article 5
Dispute Resolution and Indemnification

        Section 5.1.    Informal Dispute Resolution.    Any controversy or claim between FDR and Customer arising from or in connection with this Agreement whether based on contract, tort, common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise ("Dispute"), shall be resolved as follows:

        (a)  upon written request of either FDR or Customer, the parties shall each appoint a representative to meet and attempt to resolve such Dispute;

        (b)  the designated representatives shall meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the problem in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding; and

        (c)  arbitration pursuant to Exhibit D for the resolution of a Dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of:

                (i)  the date that the designated representatives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely; or

              (ii)  thirty (30) days after the date that either party requested negotiation of the Dispute pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement.

        (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.1 shall not be construed to prevent a party from instituting formal proceedings at any time to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors or to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief pursuant to Section 10.7.

        Section 5.2.    Arbitration.    If Customer and FDR are unable to resolve any Dispute in the manner set forth in Section 5.1, such Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in the manner set forth in Exhibit D.

        Section 5.3.    Indemnification.    The indemnification rights and obligations of Customer and FDR under this Agreement are contained in Exhibit E.

7




Article 6
Limitation on Liability

        Section 6.1.    Limitation on Liability.    FDR's cumulative liability for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, for any cause whatsoever (including, but not limited to those arising out of or related to this Agreement) with respect to claims (whether third party claims, indemnity claims or otherwise) relating to events in any one Processing Year shall not under any circumstances exceed the lesser of (a) the Minimum Processing Fees for such Processing Year and, in the case of Processing Year 1, the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or (b) the amount of the Processing Fees paid to FDR pursuant to this Agreement for Services performed in the immediately preceding Processing Year, and, in the case of Processing Year 1, the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee.

        Section 6.2.    No Special Damages.    IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, IT BEING FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY THIS SECTION 6.2.


Article 7
Disclaimer of Warranties

        Section 7.1.    Disclaimer.    FDR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

        (b)  as provided for in Exhibit G;

        (c)  at its sole option, at any time during the Original Term after the delivery of written notice to FDR at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of such termination; provided that the effective date of such termination is not prior to six (6) calendar months after the expiration date of Processing Year 1;

        (d)  upon prior notice, if any new Network, VISA or MasterCard standard, guideline, rule, regulation or requirement or any change, amendment or new interpretation of an existing Network, VISA or MasterCard standard, guideline, rule, regulation or requirement which occurs after the date hereof (except for any of the foregoing which arise as a result of an order, decree, memorandum of understanding, agreement or similar basis which was initiated by or as a result of state or federal law or regulatory authorities, or which involve Customer's breach of its covenants in Section 11.3) results in the issuance to Customer, FDR or Sponsor Bank of a cease and desist or similar order regarding Customer's Transaction Card program from a Network, VISA or MasterCard; or

        (e)  upon prior notice if a Network, VISA or MasterCard determines that the continued operation by Customer of Customer's Transaction Card program (as facilitated through the FDR Services and the sponsorship by Sponsor Bank) is in direct competition with the Network, VISA or MasterCard in violation of any standard, guideline, rule, regulation or requirement in existence as of the date hereof (except if such determination arises as a result of an order, decree, memorandum of understanding, agreement or similar basis which was initiated by or as a result of state or federal law or regulatory authorities, or involves Customer's breach of its covenants in Section 11.3), and the Network, VISA or MasterCard issues Customer, FDR or Sponsor Bank a cease and desist or similar order regarding Customer's Transaction Card program.

        Section 9.3.    Effect of Termination.    Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, FDR shall have no further obligation to provide the Services to Customer and all outstanding unpaid amounts due and owing to FDR shall become immediately due and payable. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect the following:

        (a)  the obligation of Customer to pay for Services rendered or any other obligation or liability owing or which becomes owing under this Agreement whether the obligations arise prior to or after the date of termination including the obligations to make the payments provided in Article 4 of this Agreement, Sections 9.4 and 9.5 of this Agreement and as described under "Trailing Activity" in Exhibit F to this Agreement;

        (b)  the obligations set forth in this Agreement in connection with any Network Agreement or any third party software pursuant to Exhibit A;

        (c)  the provisions of Articles 5, 6, 7, and 10, Section 12.7, and Exhibits D and E; or

        (d)  the obligations in Section 11.3(b) which shall survive until the latest to occur of the following: (i) ninety (90) days after Deconversion, (ii) during any period while any Dispute shall be ongoing, or (iii) during any period while Customer has any remaining claim or obligation which is not fully satisfied under this Agreement, including indemnity obligations in accordance with Exhibit E or Trailing Activity in accordance with Exhibit F.

        Section 9.4.    Payments Upon Termination.    

        (a)  If FDR terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, other than pursuant to Section 9.1(j), or if Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(e), Customer and FDR agree that, based on economic assumptions material to each party, Customer shall make a compensatory payment to FDR. Such compensatory payment shall be made by Customer upon termination by FDR or Customer, and prior to Deconversion, and shall equal the sum of:

                (i)  the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, as set forth in Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement, for the Processing Year in which the termination occurs (after crediting Customer for any Processing Fees paid for Services provided in such Processing Year); and the amount set forth in subsections (ii) or (iii) below, as applicable

              (ii)  except as provided in subsection (iii) below, the sum of the present values of a payment in each full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth below for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs. The applicable percentage shall be as follows:

Processing Year
in which termination occurs

  Applicable Percentage
Processing Year 1   [*]
Processing Year 2   [*]
Processing Year 3   [*]
Processing Year 4   [*]

              (iii)  in the event the Agreement shall be terminated by FDR pursuant to Section 9.1(k) or by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2(e), the present value of a payment in the next full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth in subsection (ii) above, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs.

        (b)  In determining the present value of the amount set forth in subsection (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, an interest rate equal to [*], as quoted by The Wall Street Journal for the date on which termination occurs, or if not available on the date of termination, as soon thereafter as the next edition of The Wall Street Journal is published, shall be assumed and the payments shall be assumed to be made on the first day of each Processing Year.

        (c)  FDR and Customer agree that the compensatory payments as set forth in Section 9.4(a) are a reasonable estimation, as of the date of this Agreement, of the actual damages which FDR would suffer if FDR were to fail to receive the processing business for the full Term. In making such determination, the parties have considered all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof and have given special consideration to the particular circumstances which may attend each particular termination event including the allocation of risks associated therewith between the parties. If not but for the full consideration of all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof, and the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.4, neither party would have been willing to enter into this Agreement.

        (d)  Despite the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall limit FDR's right to recover from Customer any amounts for which Customer is otherwise liable under this Agreement, except that upon payment of amounts due under Section 9.4(a), Customer shall not be responsible for Minimum Processing Fee shortfalls after the year of termination.

11



        Section 9.5.    Payments Upon Termination Pursuant to Section 9.2(c).    If Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(c), Customer shall not be required to make any payment to FDR pursuant to Section 9.4 but Customer shall be responsible for Minimum Processing Fee shortfalls, if any, pursuant to Section 4.4(b) for the Processing Year in which termination is effective but not for any subsequent Processing Years.


Article 10
Confidential Nature of Data

        Section 10.1.    Customer's Proprietary Information.    Upon Customer's request, FDR shall return to Customer (upon the expiration or termination of all of FDR's obligations under this Agreement and payment by Customer of all amounts due to FDR hereunder) all or any requested portion of the proprietary and confidential data of Customer disclosed to FDR including the Cardholder Master Files and CIS Memo Files (collectively, "Customer's Proprietary Information"). Throughout the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, FDR shall not obtain any proprietary rights in Customer's Proprietary Information.

        Section 10.2.    FDR's Proprietary Information.    Customer acknowledges that all products and systems provided or used by FDR, including any developments, Enhancements, improvements or modifications disclosed, provided or used by FDR, shall remain solely and exclusively the property of FDR. In addition, FDR shall retain sole and exclusive ownership in all works of authorship, ideas, concepts, know-how and inventions, whether or not patentable, created or conceived by FDR in the course of providing the services under this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that FDR, in its sole discretion, may provide to other customers, similar services to those outlined in this Agreement utilizing any of the FDR owned intellectual property referenced in this Section 10.2 or otherwise set forth or referred to in this Agreement. Customer shall not obtain any proprietary rights in any proprietary or confidential information which has been or is disclosed to Customer by FDR, including without limitation, any data or information that is a trade secret or competitively sensitive material, User Manuals; screen displays and formats; computer software, systems, products, system architecture and documentation related to each of the foregoing, in each case, whether owned, licensed or otherwise provided or used by FDR; software performance results; flow charts and other specifications (whether or not electronically stored), data and data formats (collectively, "FDR's Proprietary Information") whether any of the materials are developed or purchased specifically for performance of this Agreement or otherwise. Customer shall return to FDR all of FDR's Proprietary Information upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

        Section 10.3.    Confidentiality of Agreement.    Except as required by law, Customer shall keep confidential and not disclose, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and independent contractors to keep confidential and not disclose, any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of FDR. FDR shall be permitted to disclose Customer's Proprietary Information to Sponsor Bank as necessary to perform FDR's obligations under this Agreement.

        Section 10.4.    Confidentiality.    FDR and Customer shall maintain Customer's Proprietary Information and FDR's Proprietary Information, respectively, in strict confidence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, FDR and Customer each agree:

        (a)  not to disclose or permit any other person or Entity access to Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, except that the disclosure or access shall be permitted to an employee, officer, director, agent, representative, external or internal auditors or independent contractor of the party requiring access to the same in the course of his or her employment or services;

12



        (b)  to ensure that its employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives and independent contractors are advised of the confidential nature of Customer's Proprietary Information and FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, and are precluded from taking any action prohibited under this Article 10, provided that in any event Customer and FDR shall each be liable for any breach of this Article 10 by their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives and independent contractors, and FDR shall be liable to Customer for breach of this Article 10 by Sponsor Bank;

        (c)  not to alter or remove any identification, copyright or proprietary rights notice which indicates the ownership of any part of Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate; and

        (d)  to notify the other promptly and in writing of the circumstances surrounding any possession, use or knowledge of Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, at any location or by any Entity other than those authorized by this Agreement.

        Section 10.5.    Release of Information.    Despite the foregoing, FDR and Customer agree that Customer's Proprietary Information and FDR's Proprietary Information may be made available to VISA, MasterCard, Network or to supervisory or regulatory authorities of Customer and Sponsor Bank upon the written request of any of the foregoing.

        Section 10.6.    Exclusions.    Nothing in this Article 10 shall restrict either party with respect to information or data identical or similar to that contained in Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, but which: (a) the receiving party can demonstrate was rightfully possessed by it before it received the information from the disclosing party; (b) was in the public domain prior to the date of this Agreement or subsequently becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party or any person or Entity acting on its behalf; (c) was previously received by the receiving party from a third party or is subsequently furnished rightfully to the receiving party by a third party (no Affiliate of FDR or Customer shall be considered to be a third party) not known to be under restrictions on use or disclosure; (d) is independently developed by such party; (e) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation or court order, provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable efforts to notify the other party prior to disclosure in order that the other party may seek a protective order; or (f) is required to be disclosed to comply with or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable efforts to notify the other party prior to disclosure in order that the other party may seek a protective order.

        Section 10.7.    Remedy.    If either party breaches this Article 10, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to such party will be impossible to calculate and therefore an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the non-breaching party may (a) seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party or (b) exercise any other rights and seek any other remedies to which the non-breaching party may be entitled to at law, in equity and under this Agreement for any violation of this Article 10.


Article 11
Representations and Covenants

        Section 11.1.    FDR's Representation.    FDR represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction herein contemplated does not conflict in any material respect with or constitute a material breach or material default under the terms and conditions of any documents, agreements or other writings to which it is a party; and FDR has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.

        Section 11.2.    Customer's Representation.    Customer represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction herein contemplated does not conflict in any material respect with or constitute a material breach or material default under the terms

13



and conditions of any documents, agreements or other writings to which it is a party; and Customer has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.

        Section 11.3.    Customer's Covenants.    

        (a)  Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each quarter during the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall provide to FDR a copy of the individual and consolidated quarterly and year to date financial statements (including where available, audited financial statements) of Customer and its affiliates to assist FDR in evaluating the risks associated with Interchange Settlement or other Customer obligations under this Agreement. Customer shall provide (or shall cause its Affiliates to provide) additional security or undertakings as FDR may reasonably require.

        (b)  Within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Customer shall obtain and deliver to FDR, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to FDR, a 364-day revolving and irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to [*] (the "Initial Amount of the Letter of Credit"). Such letter of credit will be issued by a financial institution with a credit rating acceptable to FDR and will (i) secure all payment and settlement obligations of Customer under this Agreement that arise after the issuance of the letter of credit, including, but not limited to payment and settlement obligations for Processing Fees, Special Fees, Minimum Processing Fees, Interchange Settlement and other settlement obligations, taxes, interest or payments upon termination, and (ii) allow FDR to draw upon the Letter of Credit prior to expiration if the Letter of Credit is not renewed. The Initial Amount of the Letter of Credit was agreed to by the parties based on their best estimate, at the time of the execution of this Agreement, that [*] represents approximately the monetary amount of four (4) business days of the Daily Amount for which Customer may be responsible pursuant to Exhibit "F". If, after the execution of this Agreement, FDR, based on the then current monetary amount of the Daily Amount, determines that the monetary amount of approximately four (4) business days of the Daily Amount is more than [*] then FDR shall promptly notify Customer, in writing, of the updated monetary amount of four (4) business days of the Daily Amount (the "Updated Amount of the Letter of Credit"). Promptly upon receipt of the Updated Amount of the Letter of Credit Customer shall increase the monetary amount of the Letter of Credit to be at least equal to the Updated Amount of the Letter of Credit. The Customer's obligations in this Section 11.3(b) shall continue throughout the Term of this Agreement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.3(d).

        (c)  As of the date hereof, and throughout the Term of this Agreement, Customer and Customer's Transaction Card program to be made available to Customer's Clients utilizing the FDR Services and the sponsorship by the Sponsor Bank:

                (i)  shall comply with all Network, VISA and MasterCard standards, guidelines, rules, regulations, guidelines or requirements and any interpretations thereof, including but not limited to the Virtual MasterCard standards and guidelines, as well as the MasterCard Rules as specified in Chapter 8 of the MasterCard Bylaws and Rules, and Customer has obtained and will obtain all required consents and approvals which may be required from the Networks, VISA or MasterCard (in each case regardless of whether Customer or Sponsor Bank is responsible for compliance or is obligated to obtain any such consent or approval under the applicable requirements), and that the intended operation and administration of Customer's Transaction Card program contemplated hereby, does not and will not violate any such approval, consent, standard, guideline, rule, regulation or requirement or any interpretation thereof, and, Customer will notify FDR immediately in the event this covenant is no longer true, accurate or complete, or if Customer receives any cease and desist or similar order from a Network, VISA or MasterCard;

              (ii)  shall comply with each of the obligations and requirements set forth in that certain letter dated September 13, 2000, from MasterCard to the Sponsor Bank, together with the

14



      application and supporting materials submitted by Sponsor Bank in connection therewith, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit H (in each case regardless of whether Customer or Sponsor Bank is responsible for compliance or is obligated to obtain any such consent or approval under the applicable requirements),it being understood that Customer will also provide information to FDR regarding such compliance as may be reasonably requested by FDR from time to time; and

              (iii)  shall properly disclose that the Sponsor Bank is the Issuer of the Transaction Cards to Customer's Clients and that Sponsor Bank, upon notice to Customer, may terminate Customer's Clients Transaction Card privileges at any time, and shall require Customer's Clients to agree that Sponsor Bank shall have no obligation or liability to any Customer Client regarding funds held, transferred, or invested by Customer or any of its Affiliates.

        (d)  Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) deposit, process, settle, and administer all financial transactions on behalf of and with its Clients in accordance with the PayPal process flow description set forth in Exhibit H hereto. In the event Customer wishes to modify such process flow, it shall notify FDR and obtain FDR's prior written consent. If such process flow is modified to reduce or eliminate settlement risk associated with Client transactions, Customer may request, and FDR will negotiate with Customer, the reduction of the number of business days of settlement funds to be secured by the Letter of Credit as provided in subsection (b) above.


Article 12
Miscellaneous

        Section 12.1.    Assignment.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of Customer are personal and not assignable, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of FDR. Customer shall be permitted to assign this Agreement in the event (i) any person or Entity acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Customer, or (ii) Customer merges or consolidates with another Entity, provided that for those events set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, FDR is given prior notice of such assignment and the successor has entered into an agreement reasonably acceptable to FDR to assume all of the obligations of Customer under this Agreement.

FDR's Business Continuity Plan includes a schedule for recovering critical business functions.

        Section 12.3.    State Law.    Except as provided in Exhibit D, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska as to all matters including validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies without giving effect to the principles of choice of law thereof.

15



connection therewith shall, if delivered, sent or mailed in accordance with Section 12.4, constitute good, proper and sufficient service thereof.

        Section 12.4.    Notice.    All notices which either party may be required or desire to give to the other party shall be in writing and shall be given by personal service, telecopy, registered mail or certified mail (or its equivalent), or overnight courier to the other party at its respective address or telecopy telephone number set forth below.

        A party may change its address or addresses set forth above by giving the other party notice of the change in accordance with the provisions of this section.

        Section 12.5.    Waiver.    The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect in any way the full right to require the performance at any subsequent time. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

        Section 12.6.    Relationship of Parties.    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between the parties. The parties' relationship shall be that of independent parties contracting for services. All personnel and other agents employed by either party in connection with this Agreement are such party's or its agent's employees and not employees or agents of the other party.

        Section 12.8.    Subcontractors.    FDR may subcontract all or any part of the Services, but, notwithstanding any such subcontract, FDR shall remain responsible for performance of the Services.

        Section 12.9.    Force Majeure and Restricted Performance.    If performance by FDR of any service or obligation under this Agreement, including Start-Up or Deconversion, is prevented, restricted, delayed or interfered with by reason of labor disputes, strikes, acts of God, floods, lightning, severe weather, shortages of materials, rationing, utility or communication failures, failure of MasterCard, VISA or a Network, failure or delay in receiving electronic data, earthquakes, war, revolution, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, blockade, embargo, or any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement having legal effect of any government or any judicial authority or representative of any such government, or any other act, omission or cause whatsoever, whether similar

16



or dissimilar to those referred to in this clause, which are beyond the reasonable control of FDR, then FDR shall be excused from the performance to the extent of the prevention, restriction, delay or interference. As a condition to continuing to perform embossing services for card issuing members of VISA, FDR was required to enter into VISA Card Personalization Agreements (the "VISA Agreements"). Under certain circumstances VISA is permitted, pursuant to the VISA Agreements, to temporarily or permanently prevent or restrict FDR's right to perform embossing services for card issuing members of VISA. Customer hereby agrees that if, as a result of VISA exercising its rights under the VISA Agreements, FDR is prevented or restricted by VISA from performing embossing services for Customer, then FDR shall be excused from the performance of such embossing services to the extent of such prevention or restriction by VISA.

        Section 12.10.    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the parties shall substitute for the invalid provisions a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

        Section 12.11.    Audit.    From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, FDR will allow a third party, selected by FDR, to perform an audit of the electronic data processing environment maintained by FDR to provide the services contemplated under this Agreement. FDR shall provide Customer with a copy of the results of the audit if Customer requests a copy in writing.

        Section 12.12.    Risk of Loss.    Customer shall be responsible for any and all risk of loss to any tangible item (a) provided by FDR for Customer (including without limitation letters and embossed cards) upon the delivery of such items to the U.S. Postal Service or such other courier as Customer may select, and (b) provided by Customer to FDR until actual receipt of such items by FDR. It is expressly understood that the U.S. Postal Service and any courier selected by Customer are the agents of Customer and not FDR.

        Section 12.13.    Equal Employment Opportunity.    FDR will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age or veteran status as ordered by the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Section 202 of Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974.

        Section 12.14.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, including Exhibits, and the executed Affiliate Agreements, if any, set forth all of the promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof and supersedes all negotiations, conversations, discussions, correspondence, memorandums and agreements between the parties concerning the subject matter.

        Section 12.15.    Amendments.    This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties to this Agreement.

        Section 12.16.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        Section 12.17.    Interchange Settlement.    FDR and Customer agree that they will handle and settle Interchange Settlement pursuant to the terms and conditions governing Interchange Settlement as set forth in Exhibit F.

II.    General Services

        A.    FDR will provide Customer with an on-line terminal facility (not the terminals themselves), on-line access to Transaction Card processing software, adequate computer time and other mechanical Transaction Card services as more specifically described in the documents referred to in Section I.

        B.    Reports will be made available to Customer in accordance with FDR's Reports Management System (RMS).

        C.    FDR periodically shall install, provide or cause to be installed or provided the means for communicating data from its facilities or equipment to the facilities or equipment of Customer, and third parties designated by Customer, as FDR determines is desirable to perform offline debit processing services under this Agreement. The method of transmission and the media employed will be determined by FDR taking into consideration relevant factors such as traffic type, inbound and outbound message sizes, traffic loading distribution, and the equipment or devices which are or may be used.

        D.    Specific Services are defined in Section IV.

III.    Ancillary Services

        A.    FDR LinkUp Services.    FDR agrees to provide to Customer and Customer's Transaction Card Affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Customer") electronic mail services consisting of a system whereby Customer may create, edit, transmit, store and retrieve data, in the form of textual messages and binary files, utilizing Customer's telephone communication lines to FDR and certain data storage facilities residing on Customer's computer equipment ("Mailboxes"). FDR shall assign to Customer a number of Mailboxes, which may be increased or decreased by Customer at any time following at least thirty (30) days written notice to FDR, provided that Customer shall be required to maintain at least one (1) Mailbox at all times. In order for Customer to obtain FDR LinkUp Services as described in this section, FDR shall distribute to Customer cc:Mail Software and related documentation (collectively, the "cc:Mail Software").

            (1)  Customer represents and warrants to FDR that it will permit the FDR LinkUp Services to be utilized or accessed in its internal business only by its own personnel. Each copy of the cc:Mail Software provided to Customer may be used by Customer on a single computer only, and in no event may Customer install any cc:Mail product given to Customer by FDR on a network server. Customer shall not copy the cc:Mail Software except that Customer may make archival copies of the cc:Mail Software for the sole purpose of having a backup copy. Customer agrees that it will not reverse assemble or reverse compile the cc:Mail Software program, nor transfer, sublicense, rent, lease or assign the cc:Mail Software. The cc:Mail Software is owned by cc:Mail, Inc., a division of Lotus Development Corporation ("Lotus") and is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions.

            (2)  Customer shall be responsible, at its expense, for all computer equipment at Customer's locations necessary to use the cc:Mail Software. All communication charges associated with accessing the FDR computers and equipment used to provide FDR LinkUp Services shall be paid by Customer.

            (3)  If FDR's right to distribute the cc:Mail Software is terminated because the software infringes upon the copyright, patent or other proprietary rights of any party or for any other reason, FDR shall have the right to terminate the provision of FDR LinkUp Services upon thirty (30) days notice to Customer, or such shorter period of notice as coincides with the termination of

            (1)  FDR shall provide Customer with Card Fraud Management/Fraud Detection Services by utilizing the output of the Falcon Neural Engine computational model (designed to detect card fraud) which encompasses or contains the Falcon neural network-based system, as such same software is licensed to FDR by HNC and is commonly known as the Falcon Card Fraud Detection Model (hereinafter referred to as the 'Card Output Access') solely for the purpose of assisting Customer in detecting possible fraudulent transaction account activity on the card accounts of Customer and for no other purpose. Except as expressly provided in this section, no right or

Exh. A-3


    license under any patent copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property of FDR or other person is granted or is to be inferred from this section. Customer agrees that FDR's providing of Card Fraud Management/Fraud Detection Services does not confer upon Customer any license in or to the Card Computational Model.

            (2)  The parties acknowledge that the HNC Software, from which the Card Output Access is generated, is licensed to FDR pursuant to a license agreement (the "HNC License Agreement"). FDR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to extend or renew the initial or any renewal terms, as the case may be, of the HNC License Agreement and if the HNC License Agreement expires or is terminated, FDR shall promptly notify Customer of such termination or expiration. FDR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substitute for HNC one or more software vendors from whom FDR shall license, on commercially reasonable terms, one or more software packages that will generate output access that provides, in all material respects, the utility and performance provided by the Card Output Access generated by the HNC Software.

            (3)  FDR and Customer shall mutually establish a fraud detection strategy designed to fulfill Customer's fraud detection requirements. Customer will provide a single point of contact, at least 60 days prior to beginning of service, to establish start-up requirements. Customer shall notify FDR in writing of the contact's identity. Customer's contact person will be authorized to build and approve the fraud detection strategy, to determine the fraud score criteria and to approve product control file changes. FDR shall assist Customer in the establishment of the processing parameters designed to effectively implement Customer's fraud detection strategy. Customer shall be solely responsible for approving the processing parameters and shall verify that such parameters effectively satisfy the requirements of Customer's fraud detection strategy. In no event, however, shall FDR be liable to any person for any damages caused by either the HNC Software or any deficiency in the construction of the processing parameters. Furthermore, Customer shall be responsible for the accuracy of all Customer data and fraud control data provided to FDR.

            (4)  FDR will provide Customer with the following Card Call Processing Services:

              (a)  FDR will utilize its Fraud Detection WorkCenter to monitor authorizations queued as a result of the fraud detection criteria and/or fraud score.

              (b)  FDR will initiate outbound telephone calls to the Cardholders of Customer who have had authorization activity on their account and appear in a Fraud Detection WorkCenter Queue Group. At Customer's option, FDR shall either (i) use a predictive dialer (herein defined as a mechanism by which outbound calls to the Cardholder Accounts to be worked hereunder are automatically dialed by the system based upon the telephone number indicated by the Cardholder master files of Customer resident at FDR) to place cans or (ii) manually review accounts for fraud activity (based upon Customer-defined criteria) in order to call only selected accounts.

              (c)  FDR will make up to four attempts to reach the Cardholder within a 48-hour period. All attempts will be made within the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

              (d)  FDR will attempt all home and business telephone numbers as provided by Customer's Cardholder masterfile.

              (e)  If FDR is unable to contact the Cardholder, a message for the Cardholder to contact FDR at a to-be-provided 800 number will be delivered to the Cardholder's message machine and/or to responsible adults.

              (f)    When the FDR call results in contact with the Cardholder, and the Cardholder validates the authorization activity, FDR will record an on-line account memo (to the Customer Inquiry System) indicating the results of the call.

Exh. A-4



              (g)  When the FDR call results in contact with the Cardholder and the Cardholder is unable to validate the activity, FDR will initiate a Lost/Stolen Report and place a block on the account. (Standard fees apply for the Lost/Stolen Report.) FDR will record an on-line account memo (to the Customer Inquiry System) indicating the results of the call.

              (h)  If FDR encounters activity which appears uncharacteristic or unusual for a Cardholder Account and FDR is unable to contact successfully the Cardholder, then FDR may place a block on the Cardholder Account to prevent further authorization approvals until either the Cardholder or Customer successfully verifies the activity. On a daily basis, FDR will fax to Customer a list of accounts which have been blocked because of uncharacteristic or unusual account activity. The account will remain blocked until the Cardholder instructs FDR to remove such block or Customer removes such block.

              (i)    Upon the request of Customer, FDR may at its option, provide additional services, including the following: telephone number look ups, fraud control services, customized reporting, etc. These services would be provided at an additional cost to Customer.

              (j)    Upon request by Customer, HNC or FDR may, at its option, provide the following to Customer: custom system installation, additional training, and fraud user interface licensing. HNC shall provide the following to Customer upon request: fraud strategy consulting and custom fraud models. Customer will contract directly with HNC for these services, which will be provided at an additional cost to Customer.

              (k)  HNC has established a Fraud Control Consortium whereby users of Card Output Access contribute data for use by HNC to study fraud patterns, which enables HNC to improve fraud detection methods. If Customer chooses to join such Consortium, FDR will provide, on Customer's behalf, data to the Fraud Control Consortium as required and requested by HNC within 30 days after the Falcon Start Date and on a calendar quarterly basis thereafter. If Customer does not wish to join the Fraud Control Consortium, HNC, upon request of Customer shall construct a custom fraud model for Customer, as an additional service, at a cost agreed upon among FDR, Customer and HNC. Customer acknowledges that FDR will employ the HNC Software using the Fraud Control Consortium algorithms to produce Card Output Access for Customer only if Customer contributes data to the Fraud Control Consortium.

        C.    Online Debit.    FDR agrees to provide Customer with online debit Services as described below:

            (1)  FDR shall operate a computer data processing facility to perform transaction processing, switching and settlement through the Networks and other services as further set forth in this section and in Section IV of this Exhibit A.

EXHIBIT F

INTERCHANGE SETTLEMENT

        Interchange Settlement Account.    In order for FDR to provide its Services to Customer pursuant to this Agreement, it is necessary for FDR to handle and settle Interchange Settlement for Customer through the international Interchange networks of the Networks, MasterCard and VISA. Customer understands that FDR handles the Interchange Settlement with the Networks, MasterCard and VISA for its clients including Customer on a net settlement basis (the "Settlement System"). To facilitate the Settlement System, FDR has established, will establish or will direct Customer to establish and may in the future establish or direct Customer to establish one or more interchange settlement Central Clearing Accounts (collectively the "Settlement Account") at one or more banks.

        Transfer of Funds.    FDR shall calculate and inform Customer on each business day of the amount of funds to be transferred (the "Daily Amount") as the result of (a) current transaction processing, and (b) funding required for incoming transactions of Customer. If the Daily Amount is negative, Customer shall transfer or make available for transfer via Fed Wire Drawdown to the Settlement Account by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone, an amount equal to the Daily Amount. If the Daily Amount is positive, FDR will transfer to Customer, or will cause the Networks, MasterCard or VISA to transfer to Customer, immediately available funds equal to the Daily Amount prior to the close of business of the Federal Reserve System in New York on such date.

        Daily Amount.    The Daily Amount shall equal (a) the Net Settlement Amount for Customer, plus (b) the amount necessary to fund incoming Interchange transactions not yet processed, determined in accordance with the FDR Settlement Rules, minus (c) the amount previously advanced by Customer with respect to prior incoming Interchange transactions for which processing is complete.

        Failure to Transfer.    In the event of the failure of Customer on any business day when required by the terms of this Agreement or the FDR Settlement Rules, to transfer or make available for transfer via Fed Wire Drawdown the Daily Amount to the Settlement Account, FDR may refuse, without incurring any liability to Customer, to act as Customer's agent in discharging any Network, MasterCard and VISA Interchange obligations of Customer and shall have the right to immediately notify the Networks, MasterCard and VISA that it will no longer cause the Networks, MasterCard and VISA Interchange obligations of Customer to be discharged. In addition to the foregoing, FDR may take such actions with respect to Customer's obligations under the Settlement System as FDR deems reasonable to protect FDR or its customers from any loss arising from Customer's non-payment of the Daily Amount.

        Settlement Late Payment Fee.    In addition to any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of Customer's failure to transfer or make available for transfer via Fed Wire Drawdown the Daily Amount for any business day, Customer shall pay to FDR a late payment fee (the "Settlement Late Payment Fee") which shall be equal to the amount Customer would have been required to pay as a late payment fee under the Networks, MasterCard or VISA. The amount shall be calculated in accordance with the rules and shall continue to accrue until FDR shall have received the Daily Amount from Customer. Settlement Late Payment Fees shall be paid to FDR based upon the rules even though FDR may have elected to make settlement with the Networks, MasterCard and VISA in a timely manner on behalf of Customer. If FDR has received funds from the Networks, MasterCard or VISA as a result of Interchange Settlement on behalf of Customer and fails to make available the Daily Amount to Customer, FDR shall pay to Customer a late payment fee based on the Daily Amount calculated in the same manner as the Settlement Late Payment Fee.

        No Independent Obligation.    The obligation of FDR to discharge the Networks, MasterCard and VISA Interchange obligations of Customer shall be solely as an agent of Customer in accordance with

Exh. F-1



the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the FDR Settlement Rules. FDR shall have no independent obligation with respect to the discharge of the Interchange obligations of Customer.

        Violation of Rules.    In the event that the Networks, MasterCard or VISA shall notify FDR of any violation of the rules and regulations of the Networks, MasterCard or VISA, as appropriate, relating to Customer or transactions processed for Customer, FDR shall have the right, without liability to Customer to terminate the Interchange Settlement of transactions on behalf of Customer under this Agreement with respect to the Networks, MasterCard or VISA, as appropriate, until the time as FDR shall have been notified by the Networks, MasterCard or VISA, as appropriate, that the violation has been corrected. FDR shall provide Customer with prompt written notice of the receipt of any such notification from the Networks, MasterCard or VISA.

        Reliance on Other Parties.    Customer acknowledges that performance of Interchange Settlement involves the settlement of certain of Customer's transactions jointly and on a combined net basis with the settlement of transactions of other customers of FDR, Accordingly, the payment or receipt by FDR of settlement monies on behalf of Customer may be dependent on equivalent payments or receipts being received or made by or for other customers of FDR and in respect of transactions involving accounts issued by such other customers. FDR and Customer will cooperate and use all reasonable resources to identify the reason for any settlement failure and shall attempt to work to its resolution.

        Compliance with Instructions.    FDR shall be entitled without further inquiry to execute or otherwise act upon (a) instructions or information or purported instructions or information received through the Networks, MasterCard or VISA payment systems and instructions or information, or (b) purported instructions or information received in accordance with the Networks, MasterCard or VISA rules or settlement manuals otherwise than through the payment systems or in accordance with the FDR Settlement Rules notwithstanding that it may afterwards be discovered that the instructions or information were not genuine or were not initiated by Customer. Such execution or action shall constitute a good discharge to FDR, and FDR shall not be liable for any liability, damage, expense, claim or loss (including loss of business, loss of profit or exemplary, punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind) whatsoever arising, in whatever manner, directly or indirectly, from or as a result of the execution or action.

        Restrictions on Setoff.    Customer agrees to discharge its Interchange Settlement obligations to FDR under this Schedule F in full and on first written demand waiving any defense, setoff or right of counterclaim (without prejudice to the ability of Customer to pursue these independently) and notwithstanding any act or omission or alleged act or omission or any insufficiency or deficiency that there is or has been or that may be alleged in the performance by FDR of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise. FDR agrees, however, that it shall not setoff against any payment to be made by it to Customer or on its behalf pursuant to this Schedule F any amount due and payable by Customer to FDR (without prejudice to the ability of FDR to pursue these independently) other than amounts due and payable by Customer or on their behalf to FDR pursuant to this Exhibit F.

        Trailing Activity.    If Customer terminates this Agreement or if Customer ceases to obtain processing services from FDR under this Agreement in a manner which results in fees or charges relating to Customer's Accounts continuing to be included as a part of FDR's net settlement with the Networks, MasterCard and VISA, FDR may obtain daily payment from the Settlement Account established under the first paragraph of this Exhibit F or Customer will provide FDR immediately upon notice with access to an account of Customer's funds, not requiring signature, which FDR may draw upon in order to receive payment for such fees and charges. FDR will provide Customer with documentation for all fees and charges paid on behalf of Customer.

This transmission shall be in the FDR (RJE/NDM) format and shall contain information specified in the documentation provided to Customer as part of the Start-Up.

5.
Failed Performance

        If FDR fails during any calendar month to perform in accordance with the performance criteria defined above, then, such failure shall be considered to be a "Failed Month" for purposes of this Exhibit G if and to the extent set forth below:Events in Calendar Month

Consecutive Months

  1
  2
  3
  4
 
1   0 % 0 % 1 % 2 %
2   0 % 2 % 3 % 5 %
3   0 % 5 % 10 % 15 %
4   0 % 10 % 15 % 20 %

Any reference to "0%", shall not be a Failed Month for any purpose. If FDR experiences a Failed Month per the grid requirements, then Customer shall be entitled to a "Performance Credit" equal to the applicable percentage set forth in the grid multiplied by the applicable month's Processing Fees. In the case of consecutive Failed Months with a different number of failures each month, the Performance Credit will determined by taking the greatest number of failures present in each of the consecutive Failed Months and multiplying the applicable percentage determined from the grid by the applicable month's Processing Fees. For example:

Failures

  Performance Credit
3 in month 1   1% of month 1 Processing Fees

2 in month 2

 

2% of month 2 Processing Fees

4 in month 3

 

5% of mouth 3 Processing Fees

Exh. G-1


In month 2 above, the example assumes that there have been 2 consecutive months with at least 2 failures. Likewise, the example assumes that in month 3 above, there have been 3 consecutive months with at least 2 failures. Continuing the example, assume that in month 4, there is only 1 failure, then no Performance Credit will be due; in month 5 if there are 2 failures, no Performance Credit will be due; and in month 6, if there are 4 failures, the Performance Credit will be 2% of the month 6 Processing Fees.

Such Performance Credits shall be applied against Processing Fees due FDR by Customer during the month following calculation of the Performance Credit by FDR. FDR agrees to calculate the amount of any Performance Credit to which Customer is entitled hereunder within ninety (90) days following the conclusion of the applicable Failed Month.

If there are one (1) or more occurrences of three (3) consecutive Failed Months in any Processing Year, then Customer, at its election, may terminate this Agreement, provided, that this termination option is exercised within sixty (60) days after Customer receives notice of FDR's third consecutive Failed Month, and provided that such termination shall become effective on a date specified by Customer, which date shall be not later than nine (9) months after Customer's delivery to FDR of a written notice of its intention to so terminate this Agreement.

6.
Sole Remedy.

        Customer hereby agrees that due to the difficulty of determining and calculating its damages upon FDR's failure to perform in accordance with the performance criteria in this Exhibit G, the remedies of a Performance Credit or termination as set forth above shall be Customer's sole and exclusive remedies, and that Customer hereby elects to waive any and all other remedies to which Customer maybe entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, based upon FDR's failure to perform in accordance with the performance criteria in this Exhibit G; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to mean Customer is waiving any remedy to which it may be entitled under this Agreement if the basis for its cause of action against FDR is based upon anything other than FDR's nonperformance in accordance with the performance criteria in this Exhibit G.

('Mobius') pursuant to a Software License Agreement dated September 30, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Mobius Software').

    A.    Customer represents and warrants to FDR that it will (a) keep the Mobius Software strictly confidential (b) permit the FDR ROW/ROWnet Services to be utilized or accessed in its internal business only by its own personnel, and (c) use the Mobius Software only in connection with Customer's data which is generated by FDR in conjunction with the FDR ROW/ROWnet Services. Customer shall not copy the Mobius Software. Customer will not reverse assemble or reverse compile the Mobius Software program, nor transfer, sublicense, rent, lease or assign the Mobius Software.

    B.    The provisions set forth in this section only grant Customer the right to use the Mobius Software and do not grant any rights of ownership to Customer. Customer shall not publish any results of any benchmark tests run on the Mobius Software.

    C.    If FDR's right to license the use of the Mobius Software to Customer is terminated because the Mobius Software infringes upon the copyright, patent, or other proprietary rights of any party or for any other reason, FDR shall have the right to terminate the provision of the FDR ROW/ROWnet Services upon thirty (30) days notice to Customer, or such shorter period of notice as coincides with the termination of FDR's right to license the use of the Mobius Software, and FDR shall have no further liability to Customer with respect to the terminated services.

    D.    Within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement, or the earlier termination of Customer's license to use the Mobius Software, Customer shall deliver to FDR all copies of the Mobius Software and related documentation, together with all separate informational materials provided with respect to the FDR ROW/ROWnet Services or the Mobius Software, in Customer's possession, custody or control or, at Customer's discretion, shall destroy the same, as directed by FDR.

FDR shall have no obligation under this paragraph (6) to the extent that a claim (a) is based upon the combination, operation or use of the Mobius Software with software which was not provided by FDR, if such infringement would have been avoided in the absence of such combination, operation or use, or (b) results from the use by Customer of the Mobius Software in a manner other than as described in this Exhibit 'A', Section III-E and the applicable user documentation for the FDR ROW/ROWnet Services. This paragraph states the exclusive remedy of Customer with respect to claims of infringement.

    G.    Customer acknowledges that the Mobius Software product is subject to restrictions and controls imposed under the U.S. Export Administration Act.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO SERVICE AGREEMENT

        This Third Amendment to Service Agreement made and entered into this 19th day of September, 2001 by and between PayPal, Inc., formerly known as X.Com Corporation, 1840 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California 94303 ("Customer") and First Data Resources Inc., 7301 Pacific Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68114 ("FDR").

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, Customer and FDR heretofore entered into a Service Agreement dated as of September 25, 2000, as previously amended (the "Service Agreement");

        WHEREAS, Customer and FDR now desire to amend the Service Agreement as hereinafter more particularly set forth (this "Amendment").

        NOW THEREFORE, Customer and FDR hereby agree as follows, as of September 19, 2001 (the "Effective Date"):

        1.    Section 4.4(a) of the Service Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

        "(a) In Processing Year 1, Customer will require FDR to provide Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee"). In each Processing Year after Processing Year 1, except as provided in subsection (b), Customer will require and shall pay FDR for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Processing Fees paid during the immediately preceding Processing Year, but in no event less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in each such Processing Year (the "Minimum Processing Fees"). Within ninety (90) days after the end of each Processing Year, FDR shall calculate the total Processing Fees paid by Customer in respect of Services performed during each Processing Year (the "Total Annual Processing Fees"), and determine the amount, if any, by which the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year exceed the Total Annual Processing Fees for the Processing Year (respectively, the "Year 1 Minimum Shortfall" and "Minimum Shortfall(s)"). In the event there is a Minimum Shortfall in any Processing Year other than Processing Year 1, FDR shall, after ten (10) days written notice to Customer of Customer's Minimum Shortfall, draw upon Customer's account pursuant to Section 4.5 of this Agreement the amount of such Minimum Shortfall. FDR shall waive payment of the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall, if any; provided, however, that Customer shall be required to pay to FDR the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall in the event of termination of this Agreement, as provided for in Section 9.4 through 9.6 herein. For the avoidance of doubt and based on economic assumptions material to each party underlying this transaction, Customer and FDR expressly agree that Customer shall pay FDR Processing Fees in each Processing Year other than Processing Year 1 in an amount at least equal to the Minimum Processing Fees until this Agreement is terminated by Customer pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), or after Customer shall have paid FDR the Minimum Processing Fees for the year of termination as determined pursuant to this subsection (a) in the case of a termination pursuant to Sections 9.2(d) or 9.2(e) or pursuant to subsection (b) below in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.2(c), or until FDR terminates this Agreement and invokes compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4."

        2.    Section 9.2(c) of the Service Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

        "(c) at its sole option, at any time during the Original Term after the delivery of written notice to FDR at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of such termination; provided that the effective date of such termination is not prior to the expiration date of Processing Year 2;"

        3.    Section 9.4 of the Service is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

        "Section 9.4. Payments Upon Termination.



        (a)  If FDR terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, other than pursuant to Section 9.1(j), or if Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(e), Customer and FDR agree that, based an economic assumptions material to each party, Customer shall make a compensatory payment to FDR. Such compensatory payment shall be made by Customer upon termination by FDR or Customer, and prior to Deconversion, and shall equal the sum of:

            (i)    The Year 1 Minimum Shortfall as set forth in Section 4.4(a);

            (ii)  the Minimum Processing Fees as set forth in Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement, for the Processing Year in which the termination occurs (after crediting Customer for any Processing Fees paid for Services provided in such Processing Year); and the amount set forth in subsections (iii) or (iv) below, as applicable;

            (iii)  except as provided in subsection (iv) below, the sum of the present values of a payment in each full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth below for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs. The applicable percentage shall be as follows:

Processing Year
in which termination occurs

  Applicable Percentage
 
Processing Year 1   30 %

Processing Year 2

 

25

%

Processing Year 3

 

20

%

Processing Year 4

 

15

%

            (iv)  in the event the Agreement shall be terminated by FDR pursuant to Section 9.1(k) or by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2(e), the present value of a payment in the next full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth in subsection (iii) above, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs.

        (b)  In determining the present value of the amount set forth in subsection (a)(iii) or (a)(iv) above, an interest rate equal to the three (3) month Treasury Bill Rate, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal for the date on which termination occurs, or if not available on the date of termination, as soon thereafter as the next edition of The Wall Street Journal is published, shall be assumed and the payments shall be assumed to be made on the first day of each Processing Year.

        (c)  FDR and Customer agree that the compensatory payments as set forth in Section 9.4(a) are a reasonable estimation, as of the date of this Agreement, of the actual damages which FDR would suffer if FDR were to fail to receive the processing business for the full Term. In making such determination, the parties have considered all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof and have given special consideration to the particular circumstances which may attend each particular termination event including the allocation of risks associated therewith between the parties. If not but for the full consideration of all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof, and the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.4, neither party would have been willing to enter into this Agreement,

        (d)  Despite the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall limit FDR's right to recover from Customer any amounts for which Customer is otherwise liable under this Agreement, except that upon

2



payment of amounts due under Section 9.4(a), Customer shall not be responsible for Minimum Shortfalls after the year of termination."

        4.    Section 9.5 of the Service Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

        "Section 9.5. Payments Upon Termination Pursuant to Section 9.2(c). If Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(c), Customer shall not be required to make any payment to FDR pursuant to Section 9.4; provided, however, Customer shall be required to pay to FDR the sum of (a) the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall and (b) the Minimum Shortfall, if any, for the Processing Year in which termination is effective but not for any subsequent Processing Years."

        5.    Article "9" of the Service Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the following new Section 9.6, effective on the Effective Date:

        "Section 9.6. Payments Upon Termination Pursuant to Section 9.2(d). If Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(d), Customer shall not be required to make any payment to FDR pursuant to Section 9.4; provided, however, Customer shall be required to pay to FDR the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall."

        6.    Exhibit "C" of the Service Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the foregoing, effective on the Effective Date:

        "Minimum Shortfall' is defined in Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement.

        "Year 1 Minimum Shortfall' is defined in Section 4.4(a) of this "Agreement."

        7.    As hereby amended and supplemented, the Service Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment to Service Agreement the day and year first above written.

Upon first successful log-on using one of the temporary System Administrator IDs and its corresponding temporary software access password, each System Administrator shall create a software access password, which must be changed at least once every 60 days, and a permanent System Administrator ID. The System Administrator(s) shall enable access to ACH Express for those employees you have designated to be Operators by assigning them temporary software access passwords, which must be changed upon first successful log-on and at least once every 60 days thereafter, and permanent Operator IDs. In order to gain access to ACH Express, an Operator must enter his/her software access password and Operator ID. We will also assign a batch identification code to you (which the ACH Express software will imbed in each NACHA-formatted ACH file), and we will provide you a remote identification code which the System Administrator(s) will manually input into the user profile for each Operator allowed to transmit files, which remote identification code will thereafter be imbedded automatically when a file is created. In order to enable file transmission, we will provide a fixed communications password required for access through our Connect Mailbox application. Prior to transmitting a file, such an Operator must input the communications password. You may set the following transfer limits (which will be resident on your PC): number of entries per batch; batch entry dollar amount; batch total dollar amount and transmission dollar amount per file, and each transfer shall be within such limit(s). In addition, ACH Express allows you to separate among your Operators the ability to create, verify and send transfer requests, and we strongly recommend that you do so. IF YOU DISREGARD THIS RECOMMENDATION, YOU INCREASE THE RISK THAT THERE WILL BE A LOSS, FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE, RESULTING FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED OR FRAUDULENT ACH TRANSFER.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR ACH TRANSFERS
INITIATED THROUGH OUR
CASH CONCENTRATION SERVICE

        If you use our Cash Concentration Service, you may make requests for ACH Transfers by touch-tone telephone or computer terminal. Prior to commencement of the Cash Concentration Service, you must communicate to us the name, address and telephone number of your Cash Concentration Administrator upon whom we may rely with respect to all Cash Concentration related matters. If you use a touch-tone telephone, you must dial the number we provide you and follow the prompts, entering the Customer ID, Location ID and Location Password we provide you and the amount of the ACH Transfer(s) you wish made. If you use a computer terminal to initiate an ACH Transfer, you must use the access number we provide you and follow the prompts, entering the User ID, Location ID, User password and Location password we provide you and the amount of the ACH Transfer you wish made. You must change your Location Password at least once every 90 days by contacting us at the telephone number we provide to you. The Location Code, which we assign you based on the information we receive on your Set-Up Forms, will allow us to determine whether an ACH Transfer will be an ACH Credit or ACH Debit and the account from which and into which the ACH Transfer will be made.

SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR ACH TRANSFERS
INITIATED THROUGH OUR
PAYMENT MANAGE® SERVICE

        You must specify, in our Payment Manager Set-Up Forms, the format in which you will transmit your payment files to us, the payment vehicle(s) you will use (e.g., checks, ACH or both), and the applicable transfer limits. You must comply with Wells Fargo's General Transmission Implementation Procedures which are a part of the User Guide for our Payment Manager Service. We will provide you a transmission ID and a customer application ID both of which must be included in the electronic transmission envelope accompanying the files you transmit to us. The customer application ID allows us to verify your transmission by matching certain salient characteristics of your transmission against a predefined processing profile developed from information you have provided in your Payment Manager Set-Up Forms. If no match is created, we will not process the transmission. In addition, if you wish to have your electronic transmissions sent to us through a value added network ("VAN"), we must approve the VAN and set up the transmission detail.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR ACH TRANSFERS INITIATED ELECTRONICALLY
THROUGH OUR WellsTax™ SERVICE

        We will provide you with a temporary PIN (which you must change upon your first successful log-on to WellsTax and you should change at least once every 90 days thereafter) and an access code, each of which your Operators must use when initiating a transfer through WellsTax. If you initiate transfers of funds through your PC, you must use our WellsTax software.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS INITIATED
THROUGH OUR PC MANAGER® SERVICE

        You must install our PC Manager software on your PC which will allow you to communicate with our systems. You will determine which of your employees will be Operators and have access to PC Manager. In your communication with our systems, the Operator must enter your User ID (which we will provide), your PCID (which we will provide), your PC Manager Administrator ID (which you will select during PC Manager registration) and his/her temporary password (which we will assign for that Operator). You will assign a temporary password to each of your other Operators, and each of your Operators must be required to change his/her password upon his/her first successful log-on to PC Manager and thereafter at least every 90 days. After your first log-on, communications by any of your Operators can only be initiated by inputting your User ID and the Operator's password. You shall communicate to us the name, address and telephone number of your PC Manager Administrator upon whom we may rely with respect to all PC Manager related matters. You must also set the following transfer and operator limits (which will be resident on your PC): daily transfer limits for each Transfer Account, daily transfer limits for each Operator, and Operator limits for each Funds Transfer, and each Funds Transfer must be within each such limit. In addition, PC Manager permits you to separate among Operators the ability to create, verify and send transfer requests, and we strongly recommend that you do so. IF YOU DISREGARD THIS RECOMMENDATION, YOU INCREASE THE RISK THAT THERE WILL BE A LOSS, FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE, RESULTING FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED OR FRAUDULENT FUNDS TRANSFER.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS INITIATED THROUGH
OUR WELLS ELECTRONIC BANKER™ SERVICE

        Prior to the commencement of the Wells Electronic Banker ("WellsEB") Service, you shall communicate to us the name and telephone number of at least one person you choose to be your security administrator ("Security Administrator") upon whom we can rely for all WellsEB related matters. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU APPOINT A MINIMUM OF TWO

3



SECURITY ADMINISTRATORS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE BACK UP AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT.

        In order to communicate with our systems, you must install and register our WellsEB software ("WellsEB Software") on your PC. To properly register the WellsEB Software, you will need to follow screen prompts which will require you to enter your Customer ID and Location ID (both of which we provide you); your WellsEB Security Administrator User ID; the name, telephone number, birthplace and mother's maiden name (collectively, the "Personal Data") of your Security Administrator; the serial number located on the back of the token card ("Token Card") we deliver to you; and the Dynamic Password, which is the value the Token Card calculates each time it is turned on. When the appropriate codes and IDs are entered, your system will connect to Wells Fargo and service and account authorization profiles will be automatically downloaded. These profiles will allow us to validate a transaction by determining whether the proposed transaction falls within designated parameters.

        Your Security Administrator will determine which of your employees will be Operators having access to WellsEB. He/she will set up the Operators by assigning an individual Operator ID and a temporary password to each Operator. Each Operator will be required to change his/her password upon his/her first successful log-on to WellsEB and thereafter at least every 60 days. After the Security Administrator has registered the WellsEB Software and has set up the Operators, an Operator can only access the WellsEB Software by inputting his/her individual Operator ID and Operator password.

        Your Security Administrator will assign a Token Card to each Operator authorized to send Funds Transfers. Only Operators authorized to send Funds Transfers and the Security Administrator who registers the EB Software will be assigned Token Cards. Using the WellsEB Software, the Security Administrator will maintain a current inventory of assigned, activated Token Cards, request deletion and cancellation of Token Cards, and report lost and stolen cards immediately to us so the Token Cards can be disabled to protect against loss. You are responsible for the security of the Token Cards. Token Cards will not be revoked until we receive a revocation or deletion instruction from the Security Administrator. Replacement Token Cards will be issued pursuant to the procedure in the User Documentation.

        In order to send a Funds Transfer request, an Operator authorized to send Funds Transfers, when receiving a screen prompt to do so, must reenter his/her Operator password, activate the Token Card and enter, at the appropriate place on the screen, the Dynamic Password generated by the Token Card.

        If a Token Card becomes out of synchronization with the Wells Fargo authentication server, the Security Administrator may utilize the Token reset procedure which requires the Security Administrator to call us at the number we have provided you to request Token reset, identify himself/herself as the Security Administrator and give Personal Data that matches what we have on file for the Security Administrator, and follow the telephonic request by delivery to us of a written request submitted on your letterhead signed by the Security Administrator. Such delivery may be made by facsimile. We will reset the Token upon receipt of the written request described above.

        In the event of an Operator lockout (i.e., an Operator is unable to access the WellsEB Software), the Security Administrator may reset an Operator's password. In the event of a total Security Administrator lockout, you may utilize the SuperUser ID procedure for reset which requires the Security Administrator to call us at the number we have provided to you to request a SuperUser ID, identify him/herself as the Security Administrator, give Personal Data that matches what we have on file for the Security Administrator, and follow the telephonic request with the delivery to us of a written request submitted on your letterhead signed by the Security Administrator. Such delivery may be made by facsimile. Upon receipt of the written request described above, we will issue a SuperUser ID which will allow the Security Administrator to access the WellsEB Software. If necessary, the Security Administrator may then reset individual Operator passwords to provide access to the WellsEB Software.

4



        You must also set the following transfer and Operator limits (which will be resident on your PC): daily transfer limits for each Transfer Account, daily transfer limits for each Operator, and Operator limits for each Funds Transfer, and each Funds Transfer must be within each such limit. In addition, WellsEB permits you to separate among Operators the ability to create, verify and send transfer requests, and WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO SO TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF SUFFERING A LOSS RESULTING FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED OR FRAUDULENT FUNDS TRANSFER.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS INITIATED
VIA TELEPHONE

        WELLS FARGO DOES NOT RECOMMEND THESE SECURITY PROCEDURES. WE RECOMMEND THE SECURITY PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS INITIATED THROUGH PC MANAGER. IF YOU DISREGARD OUR RECOMMENDATION AND USE THE SECURITY PROCEDURES BELOW BY INITIATING FUNDS TRANSFERS BY VOICE VIA TELEPHONE, YOU SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE RISK THAT THERE WILL BE A LOSS, FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE, RESULTING FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED OR FRAUDULENT FUNDS TRANSFER.

        In the Set-Up Forms for our Funds Transfer Services, you are required to provide a list of the names and telephone numbers of those persons ("Transfer Authorizers") who are authorized to request Funds Transfers out of or into each Transfer Account. We will attempt to verify each request for a Funds Transfer by (i) checking the name given by the person requesting, and in the case of non-Repetitive Funds Transfers verifying, the Funds Transfer into or out of a Transfer Account to ensure that it is one of the names of Transfer Authorizers you have given us for the relevant Transfer Account, and (ii) in the case of Repetitive Funds Transfers, checking the repetitive request number given by the person requesting the Funds Transfer into or out of a Transfer Account to ensure that it is one of the repetitive request numbers we assigned to the relevant Transfer Account. No non-repetitive Funds Transfer will be made if it is not verified by such name verification procedure. No request for a Repetitive Funds Transfer will be honored unless the person calling in the request provides a valid Transfer Authorizer name and repetitive request number. No callback will be made to attempt to verify any request. In accepting voice-initiated telephonic requests for Funds Transfers out of or into a Transfer Account, we are only required to determine (a) if the name given by the person requesting or verifying a transfer is listed as the name of a Transfer Authorizer for that Transfer Account, but we are under no obligation to confirm any such person's identity, and (b), in the case of Repetitive Funds Transfers, if the repetitive request number given by the person requesting the transfer is the one which we assigned to that Transfer Account.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS INITIATED THROUGH
OUR InfoTouch® SERVICE

        You are required to use (a) your identification code (which we will assign) for the Transfer Account or the family of accounts containing the Transfer Account from which or into which the transfer will be made, (b) the identification number of the Operator requesting the transfer (which you will assign for each of your Operators), (c) the password of the Operator requesting the transfer (which we will initially assign and which must be changed by each Operator the first time it is used and thereafter at least once every 90 days), and (d), for Repetitive Funds Transfers, the repetitive request number for the Repetitive Funds Transfer (which we will assign for each Repetitive Funds Transfer series you request be established). You must also set the following transfer and operator limits (which you will determine and communicate to us): (i) a daily transfer limit for each of your Transfer Accounts, and (ii) for Repetitive Funds Transfers, (A) a limit for each Repetitive Funds Transfer, (B) an Operator limit for each Repetitive Funds Transfer, and (C) a daily Repetitive Funds Transfer

5



limit for each operator, and each Funds Transfer must be within each such limit. In addition, we recommend that you use a supplemental security procedure called "Second Operator Release" which allows you to separate between two Operators the ability to create and to release transfer requests. IF YOU DISREGARD THIS RECOMMENDATION, YOU INCREASE THE RISK THAT THERE WILL BE A LOSS, FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE, RESULTING FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED OR FRAUDULENT FUNDS TRANSFER.


SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS INITIATED BY INCOMING
DRAWDOWN REQUESTS ("DRAWDOWN TRANSFERS")

        Any financial institution, acting as your agent ("Drawdown Agent"), in requesting a funds transfer out of your WDDA, must transmit its request to us ("Drawdown Request") through a Federal Reserve Bank by means of a dedicated communications line using the encryption standards of, and access controls established by, that Federal Reserve Bank. The Set-Up Forms for Funds Transfer Services require that you provide us with a list ("Drawdown List") containing (a) the name and ABA routing number of each Drawdown Agent which you have authorized to request and receive Drawdown Transfers out of each Transfer Account, and (b) the titles and account numbers of your accounts with each Drawdown Agent which are to be credited for Drawdown Transfers out of each Transfer Account. Before making a Drawdown Transfer out of a Transfer Account, we will verify that (i) the account to receive the transfer is listed as an account to receive transfers from that Transfer Account, and (ii) the financial institution requesting the Drawdown Transfer is listed as a Drawdown Agent for that Transfer Account. If the above information cannot be verified, we will not be obligated to honor the Drawdown Request nor make the Drawdown Transfer.

CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

July 1, 1997

        Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells California"), and Wells Fargo Bank (Texas), National Association ("Wells Texas"), provide their Wholesale Demand Deposit Account ("WDDA") customers with a wide range of cash management services (each a "Service" and collectively the "Services"). Each Service is described in a Service Description, Set-Up Forms and a User Guide for that Service (collectively, the "User Documentation"). The Application and Agreement for Cash Management Services which you signed ("Application and Agreement"), this Disclosure Statement and the User Documentation for each Service (collectively the "Service Documentation") together with our current WDDA Disclosure Statement (a copy of which has previously been provided to you), as each may be modified or amended from time to time, contain the terms and conditions governing Wells Fargo's provision of each Service to you and any of your subsidiaries or affiliates receiving that Service and on whose behalf you are acting. (The term "you" as used below and in the other Service Documentation means you and each such subsidiary or affiliate.) The Services will be primarily provided by the Wells Fargo Bank ("Wells Fargo", "we" or "us") whose Application and Agreement you signed. Your use of any Service after receipt of the Service Documentation for that Service will confirm your agreement to the terms, conditions, fees and charges set out in the Service Documentation for that Service and the WDDA Disclosure Statement. The fees and charges for each Service and the terms for their payment are set out in the User Documentation for the Service. We may debit your WDDA for any fees or charges, and for any other amounts, due and owing to us in connection with the Services. Our provision of the Services is subject to applicable Federal Reserve regulations and operating circulars, and NACHA and other funds transfer system and clearinghouse rules. For your convenience, definitions of certain capitalized terms used below and in the other Service Documentation are set out in a Glossary located at the end of this Disclosure Statement.

        CHANGES TO SERVICES; NOTICES.    We reserve the right to change the terms, conditions, fees and charges contained in the Service Documentation for any Service after sending you prior notice of such change in writing or electronically or by printing a message on, or enclosing a message with, your WDDA or Account Analysis Statement. If you do not wish to be bound by any such change, you may discontinue using the affected Service before the change becomes effective. If you continue to use a Service after the change becomes effective, you will be bound by the change. Any written notice relating to a Service will be sent to you at your primary address as shown in our current WDDA records. Written notices or reports to us relating to the Services must be sent to Wells Fargo at P.O. Box 63020, San Francisco, California 94163 (fax/telecopy: 415-896-0728).

        FUNDS TRANSFERS/ACH TRANSFERS.    To make a Funds Transfer on the same Business Day that it is requested, we must receive your request before the deadline we establish. However, we may not accept a request for a Funds Transfer or ACH Transfer or may delay making a requested transfer or ACH Transfer if the transfer would require us to use a financial institution not acceptable to us or cause us to exceed any limitation on our intra-day net funds position established pursuant to Federal Reserve or other regulatory guidelines. If we do not accept a request for a transfer of funds or must delay making a requested transfer, we will attempt to notify you promptly by telephone or, if you are receiving our Information Express®, PC Manager® or Wells Electronic Banker™ Service, by means of an electronic message. We cannot amend or cancel a transfer after we have executed a Funds Transfer request or have received an ACH Transfer request. We may, without prior notice or demand, obtain payment for any transfer by debiting the Transfer Account out of which the transfer was to be made or any of your other accounts with us. We will debit or credit, as appropriate, your Transfer Account for Funds Transfers or ACH Transfers returned to us. We will have no obligation to retransmit a returned transfer. Unless the return is caused by our failure to properly execute a requested funds transfer, we shall have no obligation to credit your Transfer Account with any interest on the amount of any returned transfer we have debited from such Transfer Account. We have the right to reject for any reason any Funds Transfer or ACH Transfer we receive for deposit into any account you have with us. To the extent permitted by law or any payment system rule, credit to your WDDA for an incoming


Funds Transfer or ACH Transfer is provisional until we receive final settlement therefor. In the event final settlement is not received, we may, without prior notice or demand, debit your WDDA for any such amount, and to the extent there are insufficient funds in your WDDA, you agree to refund to us immediately upon demand the residual amount.

        SET-UP FORMS.    The Set-Up Forms for each Service must be signed by one of your authorized officers, agent, or employee, except that the Set-Up Forms for a Transfer Service (and any changes to such Set-Up Forms) must, unless provided otherwise in the Service Documentation for such Service, be signed (a) by one or more persons authorized by your resolutions, or in the case of non-corporate customers by another appropriate procedure, acceptable to us, to designated individuals who may initiate and verify requests for transfers out of and/or into your Transfer Accounts, or (b) by all those persons required under your WDDA documentation to withdraw funds by check or otherwise out of such Transfer Accounts. Instructions attempting to restrict our acceptance of requests for transfers out of or into any Transfer Account may only be made in a writing which is signed by (i) one or more persons authorized by your resolutions, or in the case of non-corporate customers by another appropriate procedure, acceptable to us, to restrict our acceptance of such requests, or (ii) at least one of the persons authorized under your WDDA documentation to withdraw funds by check or otherwise out of such Transfer Account.

        SECURITY PROCEDURES.    You must comply with the Security Procedures applicable to Funds Transfers and ACH Transfers as described in the Application and Agreement and other Service Documentation. The Security Procedures describe what steps each of us must take to attempt to detect unauthorized instructions, requests or entries in connection with transfers of funds. You are bound by any such instruction, request or entry (i) authorized or transmitted by you, or (ii) made in your name and accepted by us in good faith and in compliance with the Security Procedures, even if not properly authorized by you. If we take any action beyond those described in the Security Procedures in an attempt to detect unauthorized instructions, requests or entries or to detect errors in the transmission or content of such instructions, requests or entries, such actions will not become part of the Security Procedures and we will not be liable in any situation for failing to take or correctly perform these additional actions.

        CODES AND PASSWORDS.    You will manage and control access to each Transfer Service using the required passwords, codes and other access procedures. You are responsible for the establishment and maintenance of procedures to assure the confidentiality of the identification codes, passwords, repetitive request numbers and other access procedures (collectively the "Codes") and the Security Procedures. FAILURE TO PROTECT THE CODES OR SECURITY PROCEDURES MAY ALLOW AN UNAUTHORIZED PARTY TO ACCESS THE SERVICES. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Service Documentation, you are required to develop and put in place internal procedures to limit such risk, including, but not limited to, (a) changing the password of each Operator at least once every 90 calendar days, (b) not permitting Operators to share their identification codes or passwords; (c) deleting the identification codes of Operators who no longer have access to a Service; (d) not keeping, in any form or in any place, any list of passwords; and (e) keeping every identification code and repetitive request number under secure conditions. You agree to comply with any additional access or identification procedures we establish, and, if you have reason to believe that any Code or Security Procedure has or may have become known by an unauthorized person (whether or not employed by you), you will immediately notify us by telephone and confirm to us in writing such oral notification within 24 hours.

        HONORING TRANSACTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS.    We are under no obligation to honor, either in whole or in part, any transaction or instruction which (a) exceeds your collected and available funds on deposit with us, (b) is not in accordance with any term or condition applicable to the relevant Service, (c) we have reason to believe may not be authorized by you or your customers, (d) involves

2



funds subject to a hold, dispute or legal process preventing their withdrawal, (e) would violate any applicable provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other federal or state regulatory authority, (f) is not in accordance with any other requirement of our policies, procedures or practices, or (g) we have reasonable cause not to honor for our or your protection.

        ACCOUNT RECONCILIATION; ERRORS OR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS; NOTICE OF CLAIMS.    Unless you are using a Service which provides for other notification arrangements, you will be notified of debits or credits to your WDDA in connection with your use of a Service through your periodic WDDA account statements (each such notice, whether provided through your WDDA account statement or electronically, by telephone, in writing or otherwise through your use of another service, a "Confirmation"). You agree to regularly and promptly review and verify each Confirmation, and, if you suspect an error, discrepancy or unauthorized transaction, immediately report it by calling your Wells Fargo Cash Management representative, and also submitting a written report detailing the problem as soon as possible, but in any event within 30 days of the earlier of (i) the closing date of the WDDA statement which first reflected the problem, or (ii) the day we first electronically notify you or otherwise make available (other than a WDDA account statement) a Confirmation to you. If you do not so notify us, you will be precluded from asserting subsequent forgeries, alterations or unauthorized transactions by the same person or entity with respect to any of your WDDA's. Without regard to care or lack of care, your failure to discover and report any suspected error, discrepancy or unauthorized transaction in connection with any Service or your WDDA within two months after a Confirmation or other documentation reflecting the problem was made available to you will bar any claim against Wells Fargo with respect to any such error, discrepancy or unauthorized transaction. You Undertake to notify us immediately of any claim against you or us made by a third party, that any act or omission by us in connection with any Service has caused such third party to sustain any damage. You acknowledge that the reconstruction of an event causing you to suffer damages becomes difficult and may be inaccurate more than one year following the occurrence of such event. Accordingly, Wells Fargo and you agree that any claim action or proceeding against the other for damages arising from or in any way related to an act or omission of the other in connection with the Services or the performance of the Services, including any claim based on negligence, must be brought within one year from the date of such act or omission. Each of us will cooperate with the other in any less recovery effort related to the performance of the Service and will assist the other in the defense or prosecution of any claim, action or proceeding brought by or against a third party related to the Service.

        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.    Wells Fargo will be responsible for providing each Service in accordance with the applicable Service Documentation. We cannot, however, accept responsibility for errors, acts or failures to act of others, including, among other entities, banks, communications carriers, clearing houses, your agents, or Federal Reserve Banks, through which such transfers may be made or through which we may receive or transmit information. None of these entities will be deemed our agent. We, of course, also cannot be responsible for any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond our control. We make no representations or warranties with respect to any Service other than those expressly made in the related Service Documentation. We will not be liable to you, and you will not be liable to us, for any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (a) any claim for such damages is based on tort or contract or (b) we or you knew or should have known the likelihood of such damages in any circumstances. Except for Funds Transfers and ACH Transfers, each Service is also subject to the limitation of liability, indemnification and other provisions contained in the "General Provisions" of the WDDA Disclosure Statement.

        PROPRIETARY PROPERTY.    Except as may be otherwise provided in the Service Descriptions, all computer programs, systems, reset diskettes and other User Documentation for any Service, and all

3



related information, constitute our proprietary property having great commercial value to us. We will remain the sole owner of all User Documentation and you will not acquire any proprietary interest or rights in such programs, systems or other User Documentation as a result of your use of any of the Services. You will not create or permit others to create, by reverse engineering or otherwise, the source code or any part of the source code from the object code of any such program. You may not transfer, copy, alter, modify, reproduce or convey in any manner any computer program, system or other User Documentation or Security Procedure. Your right to any User Guide is expressly limited to the right to use the User Guide as set out in that Guide.

        CONFIDENTIALITY.    All information which comes into Wells Fargo's or your possession concerning the other in connection with any Service will be maintained as confidential and will not be used or divulged to any other person or entity except as may be necessary for the performance of any of the Services or as required by applicable law. Specifically, you will keep the contents of all User Documentation confidential and will not permit your employees or agents to disclose, copy, reproduce, lend, sell, assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise make available any such Documentation in whole or in part to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any of your successors or affiliates, other than those of your employees who have a need to use the User Documentation. You agree to notify us immediately if you know or suspect that there has been unauthorized disclosure, possession or use of any computer program or other User Documentation for any Service, and if you are responsible for such unauthorized disclosure, possession or use, you shall, at your expense, promptly (i) take all reasonable actions, including, but not limited to, court proceedings, to recover possession of, or to prevent further unauthorized disclosure or use of, any such computer program or other User Documentation, and (ii) obtain redress for any injury caused to us thereby.

        RECORDS.    Neither the Service Description nor our performance of any Service will relieve you of any obligation imposed by law or contract regarding the maintenance of records or from employing adequate audit, accounting and review practices customarily followed by businesses similar to yours. You will retain and provide to us, upon request, all information necessary to remake or reconstruct any deposit, transmission, file, entry or other order affecting your WDDA until 15 calendar days after we receive such deposit, transmission, file, entry or other order.

        SUPPORT SERVICES.    Certain support services may be provided by Wells California to Wells Texas in connection with the provision of the Services by Wells Texas to its customers. Each Wells Texas customer authorizes Wells California to initiate such instructions, and to make such debits and credits, to its WDDA as are necessary or appropriate to effect or perform any such Service.

        THIRD PARTY NETWORKS.    Our provision of certain Services is dependent upon our ability to provide access to third party networks or systems. We will determine the funds transfer, communications or other such system to be used in performing the Services. In the event that any network or system is unavailable, or if we determine in our discretion that we are unable to continue to provide access to such network or system, we may discontinue the affected Service or provide an alternate service.

        INCONSISTENCY OF NAME AND ACCOUNT NUMBER.    If you request a funds transfer or issue a payment order, we and subsequent parties to the transaction may rely on the identifying number you provide for the beneficiary's account or for the beneficiary's bank, or any intermediary bank, even though such number identifies an account or a bank different from the account or bank you identified by name, the name and number do not agree, or we or subsequent parties knew or had reason to know of the inconsistency. In addition, your obligation to pay us the amount of the funds transfer or payment order is not excused in such circumstances.

        COURIERS.    You may utilize a courier to deliver or receive banking transactions and in so doing you agree at all times and in all respects that, while for your administrative convenience courier charges

4



may be billed to Wells Fargo, (a) the courier is your agent and not ours, and you and not we are responsible for any services performed or promised and not performed by the courier, and (b) you assume all risk of loss prior to our acceptance of such transactions from the courier and subsequent to the courier's acceptance of transactions from us. Although we may undertake reasonable efforts to facilitate any loss recovery, you acknowledge that you (and not Wells Fargo) will be responsible for all loss recovery procedures and processes relating to such losses.

        AUTHORITY TO COMBINE FUNDS.    You acknowledge and assure us that any and all transfers and commingling of funds required or permitted by any Service, and all other aspects of your and our performance of the Services, have been duly authorized by all necessary parties, including, without limitation, the accountholder of each account, and that you have obtained, and shall maintain in your regular business records and make available to Wells Fargo upon reasonable demand for a period of six years after the termination of any Service, adequate documentary evidence of such authorization from the accountholder of each account, executed by the duly authorized officer(s) of each such accountholder in accordance with that accountholder's organizational requirements. You further acknowledge and assure us that each transfer or commingling of funds required or permitted by any Service is not in violation of any of your or your subsidiaries' or affiliates' internal requirements, nor in violation of any applicable federal, state or local statute, ordinance, regulation or rule of law, or of any decree, judgment or order of any judicial or administrative authority.

        TERMINATION.    We or you may terminate any Service (and any license, sublicense or other agreement [collectively the "Licenses"], relating to any Service) without cause upon written notice of at least 10 calendar days to the other party, unless the User Documentation for a Service provides otherwise. However, if you are in violation of any of the terms or conditions set out in the Service Documentation for a Service, we may immediately terminate that Service or all the Services (and any Licenses relating to the Services) upon written or electronic notice to you. We may also terminate any Service (and any License relating to any Service) if you stop using the computer program provided as part of the User Documentation for that Service. The termination of any Service or the termination of all the Services will not affect your or our rights with respect to transactions which occurred before such termination. Upon any such termination, you will immediately deliver to us all reset diskettes (used or unused), copies of all computer programs and other User Documentation in your possession, custody or control, and, if we request, you will certify in writing to us that all such materials and documents have been delivered to us.

        GOVERNING LAW.    The Service Documentation for each Service will be governed by and be interpreted in accordance with substantive federal law and regulations, and, to the extent such laws and regulations are not applicable, the substantive law of the state ("Headquarters State") where the Wells Fargo Bank which is providing such Service has its headquarters (collectively, the "Governing Law"). Any Service Documentation or Service which is inconsistent with applicable laws, regulations or rules will be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent therewith. Any Service Documentation deemed unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining Service Documentation.

Our or your waiver of any term or provision of any Service Documentation shall not be construed as a waiver of such term or provision at any other time, or as a waiver of any other term or provision.

        USURY.    It is never the intention of Wells Fargo to violate any applicable usury, interest rate or other laws. Wells Fargo does not agree to, or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively, "charge or collect") any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee, penalty or other charge which would in any way or event cause Wells Fargo to charge or collect more than the maximum Wells Fargo would be permitted to charge or collect by any applicable federal or state law. Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in any Service Documentation, be applied first to reduce the amount owed, if any, and any excess amounts will be refunded.

        ARBITRATION.    Upon the demand of either party, any "Dispute" shall be resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth below in "Judicial Review of Arbitration Awards") in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising under or in connection with, or in any way pertaining to, any of the Services, or any past, present or future activities, transactions or obligations of any kind related directly or indirectly to any Service, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in connection with the exercise of any self-help or any ancillary or other remedies or actions taken relating to any Service. Any party may by summary proceedings bring an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute.

        RULES GOVERNING ARBITRATION.    Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in this Disclosure Statement. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location in the Headquarters State selected by the AAA or other administrator. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and any such rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party which is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. 91 or any similar applicable state law.

        ARBITRATION: PROVISIONAL REMEDIES.    No provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive the right of any party to compel arbitration hereunder.

        ARBITRATOR QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS, AWARDS.    Arbitrators must be active members of the Bar in the Headquarters State with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the Governing Law, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that a federal or state court of the Headquarters State could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Rules of Civil Procedure of the Headquarters State or other applicable law. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees and expenses). By submission to a single arbitrator, each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more than $5,000,000. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided, however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.

        JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ARBITRATION AWARDS.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the Governing Law, (iii) the parties shall have, in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award, the right to judicial review of (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (b) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the Governing Law. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the Governing Law.

        ARBITRATION, OTHER MATTERS.    To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Service or the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination or amendment of the Service Documentation for a Service or the termination of that Service, any agreement relating thereto or any relationship between the parties.

        NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.    THE SERVICE DOCUMENTATION FOR EACH SERVICE TOGETHER WITH THE WDDA DISCLOSURE STATEMENT REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES, THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

WHOLESALE DEMAND DEPOSIT ACCOUNT

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Dated July 29,1996

        This Disclosure Statement contains the terms and conditions of your Wholesale Demand Deposit Account ("WDDA") at Wells Fargo Bank. This Disclosure Statement replaces any prior Wells Fargo Bank Disclosure Statement you received with respect to your WDDA, and, for conversion customers, replaces First Interstate Bank's "Rules Governing Deposit Accounts" and another agreement you may have had with First Interstate Bank with respect to the matters discussed below. All fees and other charges for your WDDA and the services referenced below are detailed in a separate price schedule which has been provided to you; if you are a conversion customer, your relationship manager will provide a price schedule to you upon conversion which schedule replaces First Interstate Bank's "Schedule of Business Account Fees and Rates". This Disclosure Statement also contains the terms and conditions of Wells Fargo's most popular cash management services: Account Reconcilement, CheXstor, our check safekeeping services, and Dollar Authorized Payment. Your use of your WDDA after you receive this Disclosure Statement will indicate your agreement to all terms, conditions, fees and charges set forth below or in the most recent price schedule provided to you.

        Wells Fargo's WDDA is designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of sophisticated business checking customers. The service combines efficient paper and electronic transaction processing with fast, detailed account reporting. WDDA customers typically utilize many of Wells Fargo's cash management services and have multiple WDDAs to segregate business functions or locations, producing high WDDA activity and dollar volumes each month.

        Wells Fargo reserves the right to change the terms and conditions described in this Disclosure Statement and the fees and charges contained in any price schedule. Except in the case of changes in FDIC charges, we will send you prior notice of any such change or notify you by printing or enclosing a message on/with your WDDA statement. WDDA statements and notices relating to your WDDA will be sent to you at your primary address currently shown on our records. If you do not wish to be bound by any change, you may discontinue using the service affected by the change or close your WDDA before the effective date of the change. If you continue to use your WDDA, or, if the change only affects a specific service, you use that service, after the change becomes effective, you agree to be bound by the change.

        Any term or condition contained in this Disclosure Statement which is inconsistent with applicable law or regulation will be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any term or condition deemed unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Disclosure Statement.

        Wells Fargo will rely on the information you provided us when your WDDA (or, if you are a conversion customer, your converted First Interstate account) was opened, until we receive appropriate written notice of any change. In the case of a corporation, this notice must be signed by the person(s) who opened the WDDA, unless the change affects the corporate titles, or number, of the Authorized Signer(s) on your WDDA, in which case the notice must be in the form of a resolution, certified by the Corporation's Secretary or Assistant Secretary. In the case of a partnership or limited liability company, this notice must be signed by all general partners or managers, respectively, or by the person(s) who opened the WDDA. If a dispute arises over control of or access to your WDDA, we reserve the right to prevent any further withdrawals and may restrict or deny access to the WDDA and return checks unpaid until the dispute is resolved to our satisfaction or we may continue to pay checks and honor withdrawal requests and other payment orders when the instructions to do so are given to us by those who opened your WDDA.



CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES

        We have included below a brief description of only a few of the broad variety of cash management services available to WDDA customers. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the text are defined on page 10 of this Disclosure Statement.

        CheXstor—When you select Wells Fargo's CheXstor for check safekeeping:

    Wells Fargo will maintain microfilm records of all checks paid against your WDDA for a period of 7 years or longer if required by applicable law ("Record Period").

    Canceled checks are shredded and recycled as part of Wells Fargo's commitment to improve the environment.

    Wells Fargo will provide a photocopy of any check posted against your WDDA which you request during the Record Period. You may request a photocopy electronically via your personal computer and PC Manager® or Wells Electronic Banker™ or you may also telephone Cash Management Client Services on InfoTouch® at 1(800)-AT-WELLS (1-800-289-3557) to request a copy.

      If we fail to provide you with a copy of a check you request during the Record Period, we will reimburse you for (and our liability will be limited to) any direct loss you incur as a result of the check's unavailability (not to exceed the amount of the check). We will require that you substantiate any claimed loss.

        Account Reconcilement—Wells Fargo's Account Reconcilement automates account balancing procedures and gives you a wide range of reports. Along with detailed statements, you may receive optional reports which highlight specific categories of information, including exception transactions. Partial, Full, PC Recon and Deposit Reconcilement services are available from Wells Fargo. In addition to its other advantages, Account Reconcilement will help prevent the fraudulent use of your checks and your WDDA.

        Positive Pay—Wells Fargo offers Positive Pay in conjunction with Account Reconcilement. You provide Wells Fargo with detailed check information on or before each Business Day that you issue checks. This information is electronically matched to checks presented against your WDDA and is provided to our branches to help make decisions on cashing checks presented to tellers. You may instruct us to either automatically return all checks that do not match this information or by using PC Manager, Wells Electronic Banker or Information Express®, you may instruct us to return unmatched checks on an individual basis. Positive Pay and Account Reconcilement are also available as additional features with Wells Fargo's Controlled Disbursement Service.

        Dollar Authorized Payment—Our Dollar Authorized Payment Service permits you to establish a dollar authorized payment limit for checks drawn on your WDDA. This limit should be chosen according to your business needs; however, we strongly discourage limits in excess of $100,000. If you require a limit in excess of $100,000, you should use our Positive Pay Service in order to minimize the risk of a large loss from the fraudulent or unauthorized use of your WDDA. Any check drawn against your WDDA in an amount above this dollar limit is automatically (without requiring your specific approval) returned unpaid (marked "Refer to Maker") when presented for payment.

        Information Express, PC Manager and Wells Electronic Banker—As an Information Express, PC Manager or Wells Electronic Banker customer, you will be provided with detailed account information on a timely basis via your personal computer, allowing you to actively manage daily activity in your WDDA.

VERIFICATION OF CHECKS

        How Checks are Processed at Wells Fargo—Checks are processed for payment at Wells Fargo (as at most large banks) by automated means, and most checks are not individually examined. Expeditious processing of your checks and diligent compliance with expedited funds availability laws and regulations mandate automated check processing. Although we do examine certain checks under check processing procedures which change from time to time, reasonable banking standards permit automated check processing without individual check verification. WELLS FARGO'S CHECK PROCESSING PROCEDURES MAY NOT INCLUDE THE VERIFICATION OF THE SIGNATURES ON YOUR CHECKS AGAINST THOSE OF THE AUTHORIZED SIGNERS, NOR DO OUR PROCEDURES NECESSARILY COMPARE THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON A CHECK AGAINST YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

        As the banking industry strives to process and clear checks with greater speed and cost efficiency and chronological advances permit forgers the advantage of quality reproductions, the opportunity for check fraud and related crimes greatly increases. The benefits you gain from faster and more efficient check processing require that you take a more active role and exercise greater diligence in monitoring your WDDA.

        WDDA Policy on Checks Over $100,000 ("Large Check Policy")—Wells Fargo offers its WDDA customers products which greatly reduce the risk of check fraud—particularly our Positive Pay and Dollar Authorized Payment Services. Positive Pay permits us to electronically match checks presented to us against check information you provide to us. Our Dollar Authorized Payment Service permits you to set a maximum dollar limit on checks drawn on your WDDA.

        It is Wells Fargo's Large Check Policy that WDDA customers should either (i) use our Positive Pay service, or (ii) use our Dollar Authorized Payment service with a maximum dollar limit of $100,000 or less. Any WDDA customer who does not comply with our Large Check Policy assumes all risk of loss for any check in excess of $100,000 and acknowledges that Wells Fargo will not be responsible for any loss, whether caused by fraud, forgery or otherwise, arising out of the payment of any such check.

        Restrictive Endorsements or Notations—If a check or other item is presented to us for payment bearing a restrictive endorsement or notation, such as "not valid after 60 days" or "paid in full" or "not valid over $100", we may ignore the notation or restriction and pay the item and we shall incur no liability for not acting upon or not notifying you of the restriction or endorsement.

SUSPECTED FORGERIES OR ALTERATIONS

        Responsibility for Losses—Wells Fargo will be responsible (except as otherwise provided in this Disclosure Statement, or, in the case of Positive Pay customers, in the agreement for that service), for any wrongful or illegal use of checks drawn on your WDDA only if Wells Fargo's failure to properly perform its check processing procedures (as described in the preceding "Verification of Checks" section) directly caused the loss, in which case our liability is limited to your direct damages up to the amount of the check. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OTHER LOSSES ARISING FROM CHECK FORGERY, CHECK ALTERATION OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT.

        Your role is crucial in the prevention of any wrongful use of your checks or WDDA. You must examine and reconcile your WDDA statement promptly upon receipt. If you suspect a check forgery or alteration or other unauthorized use of your WDDA, you must report it to our Cash Management Client Services by calling 1(800)-AT-WELLS (1-800-289-3557) and submit a written report to Wells Fargo as soon as possible, but in any event, within 30 days of the closing date of the WDDA statement that reflected the first forgery, alteration or unauthorized transaction(s). IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING, WELLS FARGO WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSEQUENT

3



FORGERIES, ALTERATIONS OR UNAUTHORIZED USE BY THE SAME PERSON OR ORGANIZATION. Without regard to care or lack of care, by either you or Wells Fargo, your failure to discover and report any suspected forged, altered or unauthorized check or other item drawn on, withdrawal request from, ACH debit to, or other unauthorized use of, your WDDA within two months after the check or items, or any report or WDDA statement containing or reflecting the check, item, debit, withdrawal or unauthorized use, is made available to you, will bar any claim against Wells Fargo with respect to any such forgery, alteration, debit, withdrawal or other unauthorized use.

        Lost or Stolen Checks—You are in the best position to prevent the wrongful or illegal use of your WDDA. If your checks are lost or stolen, you must notify Cash Management Client Services at 1(800)-AT-WELLS (1-800-289-3557) immediately; your failure to do so will hamper our ability to prevent loss and will, therefore, relieve us of any liability regarding the checks, Upon such notification, we may at our discretion, close your WDDA and open a new one. All checks will then be returned as "Account Closed" unless you specifically request that a particular check be paid. (To make such an exception, you must provide us in a timely manner with the check number, dollar amount and the name of the payee.) If third parties make regular deposits to or withdrawals from your WDDA (such as wires or ACH transfers), you must notify those parties of your new WDDA number immediately.

        Internal Controls—Preventing the fraudulent or unauthorized use of your WDDA is your responsibility. You should ensure the integrity of your internal procedures with respect to your checks and your WDDA. Wells Fargo recommends that you consider the following internal controls:

1)
Designate different personnel to perform separately the functions of check issuance and reconcilement;

2)
Keep your check stock in a secure, locked area with checks under dual control and access to the area limited to authorized personnel;

3)
Pay particular attention to checks cashed out of sequence and checks payable to individuals or to "cash";

4)
Have check stock reorders handled by authorized persons only and audit the check stock periodically;

5)
Visually review all checks before issuance;

6)
Review your transaction activity for unexpected fluctuations; and

7)
Keep any facsimile signature plates (the use of facsimile signature plates when issuing checks increases your risk of fraud) in a secure controlled access area with dual control over access to signature plates.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR WDDA

        When Deposits Are Credited To Your WDDA—All over-the-counter deposits or ATM deposits to your WDDA which are received before the cutoff time posted in that branch on any Business Day will be credited (and will be considered deposited) to your WDDA as of the close of business that day, and will be reflected in that day's Ledger Balance. All other deposits (such as cash letter or lockbox) will be processed in accordance with separate agreements or banking practice. All deposits received after the posted cutoff time on a Business Day or at any time on a day which is not a Business Day will be credited (and will be considered deposited) to your WDDA at the end of the next Business Day. Deposits placed in one of our "night depositories" before 7:00 a.m. on any Business Day will be credited to your WDDA at the close of business on that same day; all other deposits placed in the "night depository" will be credited to your WDDA at the end of the next Business Day. All deposits are accepted subject to verification. We reserve the right to make adjustments to your WDDA for computation or other errors. If you deposit cash, we will count it and verify it in your presence or in

4



accordance with our existing procedures. If our count differs from yours, our count will be considered to be the correct one. If you make a deposit at a night depository or ATM, and our count differs from the amount keyed or shown on your records, our count will be considered the correct one, regardless of any support tape or listing or other record you may provide.

        Withdrawal of Deposited Funds—Wells Fargo's general policy applicable to WDDA customers is to make funds from checks deposited into your WDDA available to you as "collected funds" in accordance with the collected funds schedule provided to you by your relationship manager (this schedule may be changed at anytime by Wells Fargo without prior notice). Electronic direct deposits and cash deposits will be available at the time of final settlement.

        However, if Wells Fargo believes that a check you deposit may not be paid, the funds from the deposited check may not be available to you until up to five Business Days after the time set forth in the collected funds schedule for your WDDA. Wells Fargo will notify you of any delay in availability no later than the next Business Day after the day the circumstances become known to us. In addition, if a disaster or emergency occurs, funds may not be available to you for an additional period of time until we are able to resume business. We will notify you as soon as possible of any such delay.

        When Checks or Items Are Debited To Your WDDA—Your WDDA will be debited on the day a check or other item drawn on your WDDA is presented to Wells Fargo or at an earlier time if we receive an electronic or other notice that a check drawn on your WDDA has been deposited for collection in another financial institution. A determination of your account balance for purposes of making a decision to dishonor a check or item for insufficiency of funds may be made at any time between the presentment of the check or item (or earlier upon receipt of any such notice) and the time of return of the check or item, and no more than one such determination need be made.

        Checks or Items Returned Unpaid—A check or item you deposit or cash may be returned to us unpaid for any reason. Wells Fargo is under no obligation to question, inquire into or otherwise contest the basis for any returned item or check. Prior to such return, we may receive a written or electronic notice that the check or item is being returned. We may choose, without notifying you, to present the check a second time for payment. In any case, upon receipt of a notice of nonpayment or upon return of a check or item (either the first return or, if applicable, the second return), we may debit your WDDA for the amount of the check or item returned (as of the date that it was credited to your WDDA), and, upon receipt of the returned check (after the first return or, if presented a second time, after the second return), we will promptly send it to you; however, we shall not be obligated to notify you of our receipt of any notice of nonpayment with respect to the returned check or of the initial physical return of the check or item if we chose to present it a second time. If a check is returned and there are insufficient funds in your WDDA or your WDDA is closed, you agree to promptly pay Wells Fargo the amount of the check (or in the case of insufficient funds, the amount due Wells Fargo).

        Overdrafts, Returned Checks and Insufficient Funds—When Wells Fargo receives a check, withdrawal notice, electronic funds transfer or other item drawn on your WDDA, and there are insufficient collected funds in your WDDA, we may, at our discretion and without prior notice to you, either pay it (thus creating an overdraft in your WDDA), or return it to the party from which it was received. We are under no obligation to allow such payments or withdrawals to be made from your WDDA even on an intraday basis and without regard to whether we may have allowed such activity on one or more previous occasions. You must repay any overdraft in your WDDA immediately. If there is more than one Authorized Signer on your Account, you as owner of the Account, or, when there is more than one owner of the Account, each owner, jointly and severally, is liable to Wells Fargo for any overdraft whether or not you or any such owner (i) signed the item that created the overdraft, or (ii) benefited from the proceeds of the item created by the overdraft. ANY PROVISION OF STATE LAW TO THE CONTRARY IS HEREBY WAIVED BY YOU AND EACH SUCH OWNER.

5



        Wire and ACH Transactions—We may receive funds by wire transfer for credit to your WDDA or, as a member of the National Automated Clearing House Association ("NACHA"), we may be asked to process Automated Clearing House ("ACH") debits or credits to your WDDA. In either case, the following will apply:

    In accordance with NACHA rules, Wells Fargo may process ACH debits to your WDDA at the request of any member of NACHA. Wells Fargo will process ACH debits to your WDDA without any authorization by you to Wells Fargo (nor any prior notice to you from Wells Fargo) on the assumption, as prescribed by NACHA rules, that you have authorized the other NACHA member to initiate such ACH debits to your WDDA. If you do not wish Wells Fargo to process ACH debits to your WDDA, you must write to your relationship manager requesting that Wells Fargo block the processing of all ACH debits to your WDDA. If at a later time you wish to alter this arrangement, simply let us know in writing.

    Any ACH credit to your WDDA will be provisional until Wells Fargo has received final settlement in accordance with NACHA rules or otherwise has received payment as provided by applicable law. If such settlement or payment is not received, Wells Fargo shall be entitled to debit your WDDA for the amount of the settlement or payment (as of the date it was credited to your WDDA). If at that time there are insufficient funds in your WDDA or your WDDA is closed, you agree to promptly pay Wells Fargo the amount of the credit (or in the case of insufficient funds, the remaining amount due Wells Fargo).

    You will receive notice of credits and debits to your WDDA through your WDDA statement which you will receive at regular intervals, but we will not provide any separate notice of wire, ACH or other funds transfers into or out of your WDDA. If you desire faster notice, you may obtain it by using our Information Express, Wells Electronic Banker or PC Manager service. You must immediately inform us of any credits or debits which are incorrect or not authorized by you.

        Stop Payments—We may pay a check against your WDDA whenever it is presented and without regard to its date. If you do not want us to pay a check, you must place a stop payment order which is valid for the period specified when you opened your WDDA or when your account was converted to a WDDA and must be received within sufficient time for us to act. You may renew a stop payment order via PC Manager, Wells Electronic Banker or InfoTouch or telephone to Cash Management Client Services. A stop payment order will be ineffective with respect to (a) a check deposited to an account at any Wells Fargo Bank if it cannot be charged back without creating an overdraft in that account, and (b) a check that was cashed by another Wells Fargo Bank. You may request a stop payment of a check by using PC Manager or Wells Electronic Banker or you may also telephone our Cash Management Client Services, on InfoTouch at 1 (800)-AT-WELLS (1-800-289-3557), Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 p.m., Pacific Time. You authorize us to accept telephone stop payment orders from any person who we in good faith believe is acting on your behalf. In Texas, you must confirm an oral stop payment order in writing.

        Payment Over Stop Order or Dollar Authorized Payment Limit—If Wells Fargo inadvertently pays a check when a stop payment order should have been effective or the check is in excess of your Dollar Authorized Payment limit, we will be liable only for any direct loss you incur (not to exceed the amount of the check, or in the case of our payment of a check in excess of your Dollar Authorized Payment limit, not to exceed the amount by which such check exceeds your limit) as a result of our failure to stop payment so long as you are able to establish that you do not owe the money to the party who received it and you are able to substantiate any claimed loss (in which case you agree to assign us your rights, and cooperate with Wells Fargo in pursuing its claims, against the payee or other holder of the check).

        Earnings Allowance—The average monthly Investible Balance in your WDDA may earn an "Earnings Allowance" which, depending on your WDDA arrangements, may be applied against that month's service charges for your WDDA. An Earnings Allowance in excess of the total monthly service charges cannot be credited to your WDDA as interest and cannot be carried forward to the following month.

        Earnings Allowances are calculated on a 365-day year basis using an "Earnings Credit Rate", which is a variable rate (which may be as low as zero percent) established by Wells Fargo. This rate is determined monthly and is applied to your average Investible Balance for that month using the following formula: Earnings Credit Rate multiplied by the number of days in the month divided by 365 days multiplied by the average Investible Balance for that month. As the factors used in the formula change, the Earnings Allowance earned on a given average monthly Investible Balance will vary. Please call your relationship manager with questions on your current Earnings Credit Rate.

        Finance Charges—You may either be directly debited or invoiced for fees and charges incurred in connection with your WDDA. Wells Fargo may assess finance charges on any invoiced amounts that are not paid within 45 days of the date of invoice. If the invoice is paid within 45 days, then% no finance charge will be assessed. If the invoice is not paid within 90 days of the date of the invoice, Wells Fargo may debit your WDDA for the amount outstanding.

        Finance charges are assessed at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum). Charges for accrued and unpaid interest and previously assessed finance charges will not be included when calculating finance charges. Payments and other reductions of amounts owed will be applied first to that portion of outstanding fees attributable to charges for accrued and unpaid interest and previously assessed finance charges, then to other charges.

        Should you wish to question any service charge, please call your relationship manager. Service charges will be automatically debited from your WDDA (which occurs approximately five business days after you receive your account analysis statement). This minimizes the possibility of finance charges and also eliminates the need to process the invoice through your accounts payable area.

        FDIC Insurance—Funds on deposit in your WDDA are insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an agency of the United States Government.

        Lost Items—When you cash or deposit a check or other item at Wells Fargo, we act as your collecting agent to collect the item. You have the risk of loss, including reconstruction costs, for items lost while in the process of collection. If an item deposited in your WDDA is lost in transit, we may reverse the credit given for that item. If an item you cash at Wells Fargo is lost in transit, we may recover the funds given to you from any of your Wells Fargo accounts or directly from you.

        Inactive WDDAs—When your WDDA has had no withdrawal or deposit activity, and we have had no contact from you regarding your WDDA for one year, the WDDA will be considered inactive and we nay cease sending your WDDA statements. Service charges and other terms applicable to active WDDAs, including all changes to these terms, will apply to your WDDA while it is inactive. If your WDDA has any deposit or withdrawal activity or you contact us about the WDDA, it will be reinstated as an active WDDA.

        Abandoned WDDAs—If your WDDA remains inactive for the period required for escheat under applicable state law, it will be deemed abandoned and any funds in the WDDA must be transferred to the appropriate state.

        Usury Savings Clause—It is never the intention of Wells Fargo to violate any applicable usury or interest rate laws. Wells Fargo does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as "charge or collect"), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee, penalty or other charge, which would in any way or event (including demand,

7



prepayment or acceleration) cause Wells Fargo to charge or collect more than the maximum Wells Fargo would be permitted to charge or collect by any applicable federal or state law. Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the true indebtedness, if any, and any excess amounts will be refunded.

        Legal Process—If we are served with restraining orders, writs of attachment or execution, subpoenas, tax levies or other legal process related to your WDDA, Wells Fargo must comply. We will try to notify you when we receive such an item, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so.

        When You Contact Wells Fargo By Telephone—To ensure that your inquiries are handled promptly, courteously, and accurately, telephone calls between you and Wells Fargo may be recorded or monitored by supervisory personnel.

        Credit Reports—You authorize Wells Fargo to obtain credit reports and make whatever other inquiries Wells Fargo deems appropriate concerning you or any individual whose Authorized Signature you have provided to us.

        Disclosure of WDDA Information—Wells Fargo may disclose information about your WDDA to its affiliates, to credit reporting agencies and to other persons or agencies who, in Wells Fargo's judgment, have a legitimate purpose for obtaining such information, such as to verify the existence and balance of your WDDA to a third party, to comply with government agencies or court orders, to comply with requests from bank regulatory agencies, to expedite or complete a transfer of funds to a third party, or in response to requests by Wells Fargo's outside auditors, consultants, attorneys or other agents. Wells Fargo is also authorized to provide WDDA information to individuals identifying themselves as your agents or employees.

        Governing Law—This, Disclosure Statement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with federal laws and regulations, and to the extent federal laws and regulations are not applicable, the law of the state where the Wells Fargo Bank at which you maintain your WDDA has its headquarters. In addition to this Disclosure Statement, all transactions relating to your WDDA are subject to federal reserve regulations and operating circulars, clearing house and fund transfer system rules, Wells Fargo's clearing arrangements with other financial institutions and Wells Fargo's policies and procedures.

        Disputes—IF ANY DISPUTE ARISES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR WDDA, WELLS FARGO WANTS TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE FAIRLY AND QUICKLY. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF LITIGATION, WELLS FARGO AND YOU EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

        ARBITRATION—WITH RESPECT TO FIRST INTERSTATE BANK CUSTOMERS WHOSE ACCOUNTS ARE BEING CONVERTED TO THE WDDA SYSTEM, THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS OF YOUR EXISTING CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH FIRST INTERSTATE WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY.

        Closing Your WDDA—Either Wells Fargo or you, through your Authorized Signer(s), may close your WDDA at any time without prior notice. If the signature of more than one Authorized Signer is required for signing checks, the same number of Authorized Signers will be required to close your WDDA. Instructions received by facsimile to close your WDDA will not be accepted. Closure of your WDDA will not affect your obligation to pay Wells Fargo any amounts owed with respect to your WDDA.

        Large Currency Transactions—Governmental regulations require us to report, without notice to you, transactions involving currency in excess of $10,000 to the IRS. We have the obligation even if the $10,000 is spread out over several transactions in one day, or if two or more transactions that total more than $10,000 occur on different days, but are processed on the same day. We are also obligated

8



to report transactions we believe suspicious or to have been structured in a manner or in an attempt to avoid the currency transaction reporting requirements.

        Check Endorsement Requirements—By Federal regulation, the "Depository Bank Indorsement Area" on the back of a check is reserved for bank indorsement and must be kept clear and unobstructed.

        The Depository Bank Indorsement Area is that portion of the reverse side of a check between 11/2 inches from the "trailing edge" and 3 inches from the "leading edge" of the back of the check. The indorsement of the payee or depositor should be placed on the back of the check along the "trailing edge" but must not be placed in the reserved space described.

[ADD CHECK CONFIGURATION]

        If you do mark or obscure the Depository Bank Indorsement Area or you cash or deposit a check on which the area is marked or obscured, a delay may occur if the item must be returned. Examples of marks which may obscure the reserved area are indorsements, rubber stamp imprints, carbon bands and preprinted information. Any loss resulting from marks caused by you which obscure the reserved area is your responsibility. YOU AGREE TO HOLD US HARMLESS FROM ANY LOSS, LIABILITY OR DAMAGE WE MAY SUFFER OR INCUR ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO MARKS CAUSED BY YOU WHICH OBSCURE THE DEPOSITORY BANK INDORSEMENT AREA.

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

        Business Day—is a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or day when Federal Reserve Banks are closed.

        Collected Balance—is the Ledger Balance in your WDDA less Deposit Float.

        Deposit Float—is the total dollar amount of items deposited in your WDDA for which, based on the most recent collected funds schedule provided to you, your WDDA has not yet been credited for purposes of calculating your Collected Balance.

To the extent Merchant's TL and/or ITP violates either any Association Rule or applicable law, Merchant agrees to indemnify and hold EPX and Bank harmless and pay EPX, and Bank any attorneys fees, damages or fines incurred by them resulting from Merchant's incorrect interpretation of the TL's and /or ITP's propriety.

    (a)
    Electronically Transmitted Transactions. Transactions will be settled on a daily basis. Bank shall deliver payment to Merchant by a credit to the Operating Account equal to the reconciled summary Transaction total of all of Merchants' total summary Transactions since the previous credit. This credit will be reduced, if necessary, by (i) the sum of all Cardholder charges denied, refused or charged back, (ii) all refunds processed on account of Cardholders during said time period, (iii) the fees and charges, including Chargebacks, Merchant owes Bank, and/or EPX hereunder, (iv) all taxes, penalties, charges and other items incurred by Bank that are reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement and (v) all rates, fees and charges in Schedule B.

    (b)
    Provisional Credit.

Bank may withhold settlement to the Operating Account for a Transaction to Merchant for at least one but not more than three days from the processing date of the Transaction if Bank needs time to evaluate Transaction for unusual or fraudulent activity. EPX and Bank agree to notify Merchant if settlement is withheld and will cooperate with Merchant to investigate unusual or fraudulent activity.

23. Adjustments and Returns. Merchant will maintain a fair exchange and return policy and make adjustments with respect to goods and services sold and/or leased to its customers whenever appropriate. If goods are returned, or services are terminated or canceled, or any price is adjusted, Merchant will prepare and transmit a credit or return Transaction, either electronically or by paper, for the amount of the adjustment as a deduction from the total amount of Transactions transmitted that day. If the amount of credit or return Transactions exceeds the amount of sales Transactions, Merchant shall pay Bank the excess. Merchant shall make no cash refunds on Transactions and shall handle all credit adjustments as provided in this paragraph. If no refund or return will be given, Cardholder must be advised in writing that the sale is a "final sale" and "no returns" are permitted at the time of the Transaction. Cardholder also must be advised in writing of any no-cash refund policy, in store credit only. Merchant shall follow Association reservation/no-show policy. Merchant must notify Cardholders in writing of this policy on all advance reservations.

    (a)

    (e)
    The information required in Paragraphs 18 and 19(b) above was not submitted to Bank;

    (f)
    Bank or Issuer has received a complaint from or on behalf of a Cardholder stating that there is an unresolved dispute or defense to a charge (whether or not valid) between Merchant and Cardholder, provided that Merchant retains the right to challenge (represent) such

8


      chargebacks per the Association regulations. Notwithstanding, until EPX or Bank have notice in writing with documentation from the Associations that said chargeback has been reversed, EPX and Bank reserve the right to take any actions consistent with the existence of a chargeback.

    (g)
    The Cardholder makes a written complaint to Bank or Issuer that the Cardholder did not make or authorize the Transaction;

    A setoff or counterclaim of any kind exists in favor of any Cardholder against Merchant that may be asserted in defense of an action to enforce payment against the Cardholder in a Transaction;

    (i)
    The Transaction was made at or by a Merchant other than Merchant named in this Agreement;

    (j)
    The Transaction otherwise violates the terms of this Agreement or any other Association or Issuer bylaw, rule, regulation, policy or guideline;

    (k)
    A Transaction is charged back by an Issuer; or

    (l)
    Any representation or warranty made by Merchant in connection with the Transaction is false or inaccurate in any respect.

In any such case, Bank shall not be obligated to accept a Transaction for credit to the Operating Account. If Bank has credited the Operating Account or Reserve Account for such a Transaction, Bank may return the Transaction to the Merchant, and Merchant shall pay Bank the amount of the Transaction. Merchant agrees that Bank, without prior notice to Merchant, may (i) charge the amount of the Transaction to the Operating Account or Reserve Account; (ii) recoup the amount of the Transaction by adjustment of the credits due to Merchant; or (iii) set off the amount of the Transaction against any account or property Bank holds for or on behalf of Merchant. If Merchant disagrees with a Chargeback Transaction, Merchant must so notify Bank and EPX in writing within five (5) days of the Chargeback, and provide documentation that the dispute has been resolved to Cardholder's satisfaction, or proof that a credit has been issued and proof from the association that the Chargeback has been reversed. If Bank or EPX takes legal action against Merchant for any Chargebacks or any amounts due Bank and/or EPX hereunder and the Merchant stipulates or is found liable to Bank and/or EPX Merchant shall pay all costs and attorneys fees incurred by Bank and/or EPX.

Failure to meet such time frame or non-delivery of any item or delivery of an illegible copy of an item requested by an Issuer shall constitute a waiver by Merchant of any claims and may result in an irrevocable Chargeback for the full amount of the Transaction. Electronic records of such information shall suffice.

28. Recovery of Cards. In the Card Present Transaction, Merchant will use its best efforts to reasonably and peaceably recover and retain any Card for which Merchant receives notification of cancellation, restrictions, theft or counterfeiting. This notice may be given (i) electronically through the terminal or Software; (ii) by Bank's Authorization Center by any means; or (iii) by listing on any canceled Card or restricted Card list.

    The information required in Paragraphs 18 and 19(b) above was not submitted to Bank/Certegy;

    (f)
    Bank/Certegy or Issuer has received a complaint from or on behalf of a Cardholder stating that there is an unresolved dispute or defense to a charge (whether or not valid) between Merchant and Cardholder, provided that Merchant retains the right to challenge (represent) such chargebacks per the Association regulations. Notwithstanding, until EPX or Certegy have notice in writing with documentation from the Associations that said chargeback has been reversed, EPX and Certegy reserve the right to take any actions consistent with the existence of a chargeback.

    (g)
    The Cardholder makes a written complaint to Bank/Certegy or Issuer that the Cardholder did not make or authorize the Transaction;

    (h)
    A setoff or counterclaim of any kind exists in favor of any Cardholder against Merchant that may be asserted in defense of an action to enforce payment against the Cardholder in a Transaction;

    A Transaction is charged back by an Issuer; or

    (l)
    Any representation or warranty made by Merchant in connection with the Transaction is false or inaccurate in any respect.

Merchant agrees that Bank/Certegy, without prior notice to Merchant, may (i) charge the amount of the Transaction to the Operating Account or Reserve Account; (ii) recoup the amount of the Transaction by adjustment of the credits due to Merchant; or (iii) set off the amount of the Transaction against any account or property Bank/Certegy holds for or on behalf of Merchant. If Merchant disagrees with a Chargeback Transaction, Merchant must so notify Bank/Certegy and EPX in writing within five (5) days of the Chargeback, and provide documentation that the dispute has been resolved to Cardholder's satisfaction, or proof that a credit has been issued and proof from the association that the Chargeback has been reversed. If Bank/Certegy or EPX takes legal action against Merchant for any Chargebacks or any amounts due Bank/Certegy and/or EPX hereunder and the Merchant stipulates or is found liable to Bank/Certegy and/or EPX Merchant shall pay all costs and attorneys fees incurred by Bank/Certegy and/or EPX.

25. Unique Transaction Identification.

Failure to meet such time frame or non-delivery of any item or delivery of an illegible copy of an item requested by an Issuer shall constitute a waiver by Merchant of any claims and may result in an irrevocable Chargeback for the full amount of the Transaction. Electronic records of such information shall suffice.

28. Recovery of Cards. In the Card Present Transaction, Merchant will use its best efforts to reasonably and peaceably recover and retain any Card for which Merchant receives notification of cancellation, restrictions, theft or counterfeiting. This notice may be given (i) electronically through the terminal or Software; (ii) by Bank's/Certegy's Authorization Center by any means; or (iii) by listing on any canceled Card or restricted Card list.

Bank/Certegy shall notify Merchant of the fees to be charged for processing the additional Cards and Services.

    (b)
    Amendment to Fees and Charges. From time to time, Bank/Certegy may change all rates, fees and charges set forth in Schedule B  subject to the limitations noted in paragraph 11. Bank/Certegy will provide written notice to Merchant of all amendments.

If notice is required, Bank/Certegy will give written notice on the Merchant Statement. All new rates, fees and charges will become effective for the month immediately following the month in which the notice appeared on the Merchant Statement unless Merchant terminates this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 39.
