Indemnification Provisions

In the ordinary course of business, we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with whom we have commercial relations, including our standard marketing, promotions and application-programming-interface license agreements. Under these contracts, we generally indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with claims by a third party with respect to our domain names, trademarks, logos and other branding elements to the extent that such marks are applicable to our performance under the subject agreement. In a limited number of agreements, we have provided an indemnity for other types of third-party claims, which are indemnities mainly related to various intellectual property rights. In our PayPal business, we have provided an indemnity to our payment processors in the event of certain third-party claims or card association fines against the processor arising out of conduct by PayPal or PayPal customers. In connection with the sale of Skype, we made certain customary warranties to the buyer in the purchase agreement. Our liability to the buyer for inaccuracies in these warranties is generally subject to certain limitations. With respect to certain specified litigation matters involving Skype that were pending as of the closing of the transaction, we also agreed, among other things, to bear 50% of the cost of any monetary judgment that is rendered in respect of those matters. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification and other provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, no significant costs have been incurred, either individually or collectively, in connection with our indemnification provisions.

Note 12 — Related Party Transactions:
 
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and certain other officers. 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 affiliation with us.
 
All contracts with related parties are at rates and terms that we believe are comparable with those entered into with independent third parties. There were no material related party transactions in 2006, 2007 and 2008. As of December 31, 2008, there were no significant amounts payable or amounts receivable from related parties.
 
Note 13 — Preferred Stock:
 
We are authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series; to establish the number of shares included within each series; to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any related qualifications, limitations or restrictions; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series (but not below the number of shares of a series then outstanding) without any further vote or action by the stockholders. At December 31, 2007 and 2008, there were 10 million shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock authorized for issuance, and no shares issued or outstanding.
 
Note 14 — Common Stock:
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes us to issue 3.6 billion shares of common stock. A portion of the shares issued and outstanding are subject to repurchase or forfeiture over a four-year period from the earlier of the issuance date or employee hire date, as applicable. At December 31, 2008 there were 154,892 shares subject to repurchase rights or forfeiture, respectively.
