(c) Unaddressed Liabilities. To the extent that this Agreement does not address particular Liabilities under any Benefit Plan or with respect to any Employees and the

(d) Fiduciary Liability Insurance. Treatment of claims covered by fiduciary liability insurance shall be governed by Section 5.1 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
(e) Employment Tax Liabilities and Responsibilities for Audit.

Section 2.02. Service Credit. The PayPal Benefit Plans shall, and PayPal shall cause each member of the PayPal Group to, recognize each PayPal Group Employee’s and each Former PayPal Group Employee’s full service with eBay or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessor entities at or before the Effective Time, to the same extent that such service was recognized by eBay for similar purposes prior to the Effective Time as if such full service had been performed for a member of the PayPal Group, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of level of benefits under any such PayPal Benefit Plan but only with respect to those PayPal Benefit Plans in existence immediately following the Effective Time.
Section 2.03. Benefit Plans.
(a) Establishment of Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise specified herein, before the Effective Time, PayPal shall, or shall cause an applicable member of the PayPal Group to, adopt Benefit Plans (and related trusts and other funding instruments, if applicable), which
-10-
through December 31, 2015 shall have substantially the same terms as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or such other standard as is specified in this Agreement with respect to any particular Benefit Plan) to those of the corresponding eBay Benefit Plans, including in particular those listed on Schedule 2.03(a); provided, however, that PayPal may limit participation in any such PayPal Benefit Plan to PayPal Group Employees and Former PayPal Group Employees who participated in the corresponding eBay Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PayPal may make such changes, modifications or amendments to the PayPal Benefit Plans as may be required by applicable Law or as are necessary and appropriate to reflect the Separation or vendor limitations.
(b) Benefit Plans Not Required to Be Adopted. Notwithstanding Section 2.03(a) above, PayPal shall not be required to adopt any Benefit Plan (or related trust, if applicable) (i) to the extent that such adoption would not be permitted under applicable Law, regulation, practice, or vendor limitations, (ii) if the parties agree that such Benefit Plan should not be so adopted by PayPal, or (iii) if such Benefit Plan is listed on Schedule 2.03(b). With respect to any eBay Benefit Plan not listed on Schedule 2.03(a) and Schedule 2.03(b), the parties shall agree in good faith on the treatment of such plan taking into account the handling of any comparable plan under this Agreement.
(c) Information and Operation. eBay shall, subject to and in compliance with applicable Law, provide PayPal with information describing each eBay Benefit Plan election made by a PayPal Group Employee, Former PayPal Group Employee and (with respect to any fees payable after the Effective Time), any Continuing eBay Director or Transferring Director, that may have application to PayPal Benefit Plans from and after the Effective Time, and PayPal shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to administer the PayPal Benefit Plans using those elections; and, further, to the extent necessary in order for eBay to administer any eBay Benefit Plan, PayPal shall provide eBay with such same information. Each Party shall, upon reasonable request, provide the other Party and the other Party’s respective Affiliates, agents, and vendors all information reasonably necessary to the other Party’s operation or administration of its Benefit Plans.
Section 2.04. Plan Administration and Non-U.S. Benefit Plans.
(a) No Duplication or Acceleration of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (i) no participant in any PayPal Benefit Plan shall receive service credit or benefits to the extent that receipt of such service credit or benefits would result in duplication of benefits provided to such participant by the corresponding eBay Benefit Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the eBay Group and (ii) no participant in any eBay Benefit Plan shall receive service credit or benefits to the extent receipt of such service credit or benefits would result in duplication of benefits provided to such participant in the corresponding PayPal Benefit Plan or any other plan, program or agreement sponsored or maintained by a member of the PayPal Group. Furthermore, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to accelerate vesting or entitlements under any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by a member of
-11-
the eBay Group or member of the PayPal Group on the part of any Employee or Former Employee, including in connection with the termination of employment.
(b) No Expansion of Participation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as otherwise determined or agreed to by eBay and PayPal, as required by applicable Law, or as explicitly set forth in a PayPal Benefit Plan, a PayPal Group Employee or Former PayPal Group Employee shall be entitled to participate in the PayPal Benefit Plans at the Effective Time only to the extent that such PayPal Group Employee or Former PayPal Group Employee was entitled to participate in the corresponding eBay Benefit Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (to the extent that such PayPal Group Employee or Former PayPal Group Employee does not participate in the respective PayPal Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time), it being understood that this Agreement does not expand (i) the number of PayPal Group Employees or Former PayPal Group Employees entitled to participate in any PayPal Benefit Plan or (ii) the participation rights of PayPal Group Employees or Former PayPal Group Employees in any PayPal Benefit Plans beyond the rights of such PayPal Group Employees or Former PayPal Group Employees under the corresponding eBay Benefit Plans, in each case, after the Effective Time. Unless otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement or otherwise agreed by the Parties, as of the Effective Time, a PayPal Group Employee or Former PayPal Group Employee shall not be a participant in an eBay Benefit Plan.
(c) Transition Services. The Parties acknowledge that eBay Group and PayPal Group may (i) agree that eBay Group may provide certain PayPal Benefit Plan administration for a period of time after the Distribution Date and (ii) share certain tools and programs relating to human resource functions as specified under the Transition Services Agreement and, if required by HIPAA or other applicable privacy laws, shall enter into any applicable business associate agreement with respect to such arrangement.
(d) Beneficiaries.

Section 7.03. Paid Time Off, Holidays and Leaves of Absence. Effective as of the Effective Time, the PayPal Group shall assume all Liabilities of the eBay Group with respect to paid time off, holiday, annual leave or other leave of absence, and required payments related thereto regardless of whether such liabilities originated prior to the Effective Time, for each PayPal Group Employee or Former PayPal Group Employee unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 7.04. Severance and Unemployment Compensation.

Section 7.05. Sabbatical Plans and Sabbatical Trusts. Effective as of the Effective Time, the applicable determining body, person or group of persons of the PayPal Group shall establish the PayPal Sabbatical Plans, which through December 31, 2015 shall have substantially the same terms as of immediately prior to the Effective Time as the corresponding eBay Sabbatical Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable determining body, person or group of persons of the PayPal Group may make such changes, modifications or amendments to the PayPal Sabbatical Plans as may be required by applicable Law or as are necessary and appropriate to reflect the Separation.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, Liabilities under the eBay Sabbatical Plans shall be measured as of immediately prior to April 1, 2015 (or such other date or time as may be agreed by the Parties) on a target funding basis without regard to interest discounting and otherwise based on the assumptions set forth in the December 31, 2014 actuarial valuation for the eBay Sabbatical Plan

Section 9.14. Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party.

Section 9.15. Dispute Resolution. The dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall apply to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

The Parties agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived by each of the Parties.
