The only outstanding Non-Plan Grant as of December 31, 2003 relates to an individual compensation
arrangement that was made prior to the initial public oÅering of our Common Stock in 1998. At the time
of this Non-Plan Grant, members of our Board and their aÇliates beneÑcially owned in excess of 90% of
our then outstanding equity and voting interests. This Non-Plan Grant has been previously disclosed in our
initial public oÅering Prospectus Ñled with the SEC on September 25, 1998 under the headings
""Management Ì Director Compensation'' and ""Ì Compensation Arrangements.'' Except as set forth
below, the terms and conditions of this Non-Plan Grant are identical to the terms of our 1997 Stock
Option Plan, a copy of which was Ñled as an exhibit to our S-1 Registration Statement (No. 33-59097)
Ñled in connection with our initial public oÅering.
The outstanding Non-Plan Grant involved the Board's grant of an option to purchase 1,800,000 shares
of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.78 to Mr. Cook upon his joining our Board in June 1998
as an independent director. These options granted to Mr. Cook were non-qualiÑed options and were
immediately exercisable, with a term of 10 years. These options vested as to 25% of the underlying shares
in June 1999 and as to 2.08% of the shares each month thereafter until they fully vested in June 2002.
Mr. Cook exercised options to purchase 240,000 shares in 2002 and exercised options to purchase an
additional 715,000 shares during 2003. As of December 31, 2003, options to purchase 845,000 shares
remain outstanding under the Non-Plan Grant.
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We have entered into indemniÑcation agreements with each of our directors and executive oÇcers.
These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their aÇliation with eBay.
In August 2000, Mr. Webb, our Chief Operating OÇcer, entered into a four-year term loan with us at
an interest rate of 6.37% per annum, with 10%, 15%, 25% and 50% of principal on the loan due on each of
the Ñrst, second, third and fourth anniversary of the loan's issue date, respectively. The principal amount
on the loan was approximately $2,169,800, which amount represented the principal and accrued interest
due at the end of a one-year term loan entered into in August 1999 between Mr. Webb and us shortly
after his relocation to San Jose as a result of his joining eBay in 1999, and was secured by Mr. Webb's
principal place of residence. In January 2001, we entered into a special retention bonus plan with
Mr. Webb, under which Mr. Webb received bonus payments in August of 2001, 2002, and 2003 and
remains eligible to receive a bonus payment in August 2004 if he is then employed by us. Payment
amounts under Mr. Webb's bonus plan are $355,200 for 2001, $449,900 for 2002, $646,100 for 2003 and
