6.5 Severability. Any term or provision of this
Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any
other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall
have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the
intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such
invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
6.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Proxy, the Merger Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto.
6.7 Amendments; Termination. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and
delivered on behalf of Parent and Stockholder. This Agreement shall terminate on the Expiration Date.
6.8 Assignment; Binding Effect; No Third Party
Rights. Except as provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Stockholder, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or
obligations shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon Stockholder and Stockholder’s heirs, estate, executors and personal representatives and Stockholder’s successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of Parent and its successors and assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2, Section 3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject
Securities are transferred. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any Person (other than Parent and its successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature.
6.9 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Proxy were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Stockholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or in the Proxy, Parent
shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damage (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek: (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance
of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Stockholder further agrees that neither Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument
in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.9, and Stockholder irrevocably waives any right he, she or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar
instrument.
6

Parent under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the

common law requirements and under all applicable Legal Requirements.
6.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In any action between any of the parties arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, each of the parties: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and
for New Castle County, Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
for the District of Delaware); (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court; and (c) agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case each of the parties agrees that it will not bring such action in any court other
than the United States District Court for the District of Delaware). Service of any process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 6.4 shall be effective service of process for any such
action. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES AND CERTIFIES THAT: (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO PREVENT OR DELAY ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH WAIVER; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER; (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND
(iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.11.
6.12
Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile or Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully
executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms of this Agreement.
6.13 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be
referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
6.14 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other legal
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against Stockholder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to
any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).
7
6.15 Waiver. No failure on the part of Parent to
exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy;
and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to
Parent arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and
delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
6.16 Action
in Stockholder’s Capacity Only. Stockholder does not make any agreement or understanding herein as a director or officer of the Company. Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in his or her capacity as a beneficial owner of the Subject
Securities and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company, including complying with or exercising such Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Company.
6.17 No Ownership Interest. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Securities shall remain
vested in and belong to Stockholder, and Parent shall have no authority to exercise any power or authority to direct Stockholder in the voting of any of the Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, or in the performance of
Stockholder’s duties or responsibilities as a stockholder of the Company.
6.18 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of
Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the
Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the
rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under any agreement between Stockholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Stockholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other
such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Stockholder under this Agreement.
6.19 Construction.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever
the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall
include masculine and feminine genders.
(b) The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
(c) As used in this Agreement, the words
“include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
8
(d) Except as otherwise indicated, all
references in this Agreement to “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits to this Agreement; and (ii) the words “herein,” “hereof” and
“hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

Exhibit A
Form of Irrevocable Proxy
Proxy
Irrevocable Proxy
The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of GSI Commerce, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law) appoints and constitutes Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxx and eBay Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies of the Stockholder, with full power of substitution and
resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to (a) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the Stockholder as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the
final page of this proxy, and (b) any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company which the Stockholder may acquire on or after the date hereof. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in clauses “(a)” and
“(b)” of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”) Upon the execution of this proxy, all prior proxies given by the Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked,
and the Stockholder agrees that no subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and
is granted in connection with, and as security for, the Voting and Support Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and the Stockholder (the “Support Agreement”), and is granted in consideration of Parent entering into
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, among Parent, Gibraltar Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). This proxy will terminate automatically on the
Expiration Date (as defined in the Support Agreement).
The attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may exercise this proxy, to vote the Shares
from the date hereof until the Expiration Date at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any written action by consent of stockholders of the Company, at which the Merger Agreement and other related agreements (or any
amended versions thereof) or such other related actions, are submitted for the consideration and vote of the stockholders of the Company:
(a) in favor of (i) the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), the execution and delivery by the Company
of the Merger Agreement and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof, (ii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (iii) any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;
(b) against any action or agreement that would to Stockholder’s knowledge result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement; and
(c) against the following actions (other than the Merger and the Contemplated
Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement)): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any Acquired Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement);
(ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of any Acquired Corporation; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of any Acquired
Corporation; (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Company; (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or the
Company’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other Contemplated
Transactions.
Proxy
The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters
not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.
This proxy shall be
binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or
provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term
or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court
does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the
economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
