Ladies and Gentlemen:
GSI Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the persons listed in Schedule

(“UBS Securities” or the “Underwriter”), with respect to the sale by the Selling Shareholders,
acting severally and not jointly, and the purchase by the Underwriter of shares of Common Stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth in Schedule A hereto. The
aforesaid 2,129,801 shares of Common Stock to be purchased by the Underwriter are hereinafter
called the “Securities”.
The Company and the Selling Shareholders understand that the Underwriter proposes to make a
public offering of the Securities as soon as the Underwriter deems advisable after this Agreement
has been executed and delivered.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an
automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (No. 333-163167), including the related base

Act Regulations”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Such registration
statement covers the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act. Such registration
statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits (but
excluding any Statement of Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended) and any

of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof
or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations, is herein called the “Registration Statement.”
The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the
“Original Registration Statement.” The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a
preliminary prospectus supplement dated December 7, 2009 relating to the Securities. The term
“Preliminary Prospectus” means such preliminary prospectus supplement, including any amendments or
supplements thereto on or prior to the date hereof, together with the prospectus supplement dated
December 4, 2009, including any amendments or supplements thereto on or prior to the date hereof,
filed by the Company and the Base Prospectus, and all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Promptly after execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to
the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act
Regulations and Rule 424(b) (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included
in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from the Original Registration Statement pursuant to
Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information”. The final prospectus supplement in the form

including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
1933 Act at the time of the execution of this Agreement and the prospectus supplement dated

Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed

Underwriter as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time referred to in Section 1(a)(i) hereof
and as of the Closing Time referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with the Underwriter, as

Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for
the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was
by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the 1934 Act or form of prospectus) and (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on
its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act

the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”). The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf
registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405. The Company has not received from the
Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations objecting to
the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.
At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement and at the earliest time
thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within

was not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.

(ii) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure at Time of Sale. The
Original Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the 1933
Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on November 18, 2009, and any post-effective amendment
thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, have been threatened by the Commission, and any request on the part of the
Commission for additional information has been complied with.
Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has made any public offer that
is a written communication relating to the Securities prior to the filing of the Original
Registration Statement by the Company.
At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto
became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriter pursuant to
Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Time, the Registration
Statement complied and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all
material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and
did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.

prospectus wrapper), at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was
issued and at the Closing Time, included or will include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Prospectus, as of its date, will include all Rule 430B Information.
The Preliminary Prospectus complied when so filed in all material respects with the
1933 Act Regulations and the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the
Underwriter for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically

Time, the Preliminary Prospectus and the information included on Schedule B hereto, all
considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any
individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, if any, when considered together
with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3
communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be

pursuant to Rule 433(g).

terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where such
noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or

neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not
be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to

taken as a whole, except as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

and will, prior to completion of the offering of the Securities, notify UBS Securities
immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or new registration statement relating to the Securities shall become
effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus shall have been
filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the
Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of a new
registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional
information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or of any
order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension
of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the
initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination
pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if
the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in
connection with the offering of the Securities. The Company will effect the filings
required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b)
(without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to
ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b)
was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will
promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the
issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof
at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees
relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) (i) of the 1933 Act
Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules
456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the
“Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)). UBS Securities will notify the Company upon completion of
the offering of the Securities, provided that, for the purposes of this Agreement, the
Company may assume that the offering has been completed on the 30th day after the date
hereof unless UBS Securities notifies the Company that the offering has not been completed.
(b) Filing of Amendments and Exchange Act Documents. The Company will, prior to
completion of the offering of the Securities, give UBS Securities notice of its intention to
file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement
relating to the Securities or any amendment, supplement or revision to either any
preliminary prospectus (including any prospectus included in the Original Registration
Statement or amendment thereto at the time it became effective) or to the Prospectus,
whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and the Company will furnish
UBS Securities with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such
proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to
which UBS Securities or counsel for UBS Securities shall reasonably object. The Company has
given UBS Securities notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or 1934 Act
Regulations within 48 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement; the Company will give
UBS Securities notice of its intention to make any such filing from the execution of this
Agreement to the Closing Time and will furnish UBS Securities with copies of any such
documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not file or use
any such document to which UBS Securities or counsel for UBS Securities shall reasonably
object.
13
(c) Delivery of Registration Statement. The Company has furnished or will deliver to
UBS Securities and counsel for UBS Securities, without charge, signed copies of the Original
Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or
incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof all of which may be provided
electronically) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also
deliver to UBS Securities, without charge, a conformed copy of the Original Registration
Statement and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits). The copies of the Original
Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to UBS Securities will be
identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission
pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to the Underwriter, without
charge, as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus as the Underwriter reasonably
requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted
by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to the Underwriter, without charge, during the
period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of
copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Underwriter may reasonably
request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the
Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with
the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to
permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this
Agreement and in the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required by the 1933
Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event shall occur or
condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for
the Underwriter or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or
supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue
statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time
it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel,
at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement
or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933
Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the
Commission, subject to Section 3(b), such amendment, supplement or new registration
statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such
requirements, the Company will use its best efforts to have such amendment or new
registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic
shelf registration statement with respect to the Securities) and the Company will furnish to
the Underwriter such number of copies of such amendment, supplement or new registration
statement as the Underwriter may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of
an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a
result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the
information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement
relating to the Securities) or the Preliminary Prospectus or included or would include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the
Underwriter and will promptly amend or supplement, at the Selling Shareholders’ expense,
such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement
or omission.
14
(f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts, in
cooperation with the Underwriter, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the
applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Underwriter may
designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect for as long as may be necessary to
complete the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to
qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which
it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any
jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.
(g) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as
are necessary in order to make generally available to its security holders as soon as
practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriter the
benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.
(h) Listing. The Company will use its best efforts to effect and maintain the
quotation of the Securities on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
(i) Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, will file all documents required to be filed
with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934
Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.
(j) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder
represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of UBS Securities, and UBS
Securities represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company,
it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute
an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise
constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with
the Commission or, in the case of each Selling Shareholder, whether or not required to be
filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by UBS Securities
or by the Company, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free
Writing Prospectus.” Each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder represents that it
has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an
“issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply
with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,
including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

to which such counsel need not express any belief) as of its date and as of the Closing Date
contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (D) the General Disclosure
Package (except with respect to the financial statements, including the notes and schedules
thereto, or any other financial or accounting data or statistical data derived therefrom
contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or omitted therefrom, as to which
such counsel need not express any belief), as of the Applicable Time contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(d) Opinion of Counsel for the Selling Shareholders. The Underwriter shall have received on
the Closing Date an opinion of counsel for each Selling Shareholder, dated the Closing Date, to the
effect that:
(i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of
such Selling Shareholder;
(ii) each Power of Attorney and Custody Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the respective Selling Shareholder named therein and constitutes the valid
and binding agreement of such Selling Shareholder.
(iii) the execution and delivery by such Selling Shareholder of, and the performance by
such Selling Shareholder of its obligations under, this Agreement and the Power of Attorney
and Custody Agreement will not result in any violation of any provision of applicable law
which such counsel, in its experience, believes is generally applicable to such Selling
Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the
certificate of incorporation or by laws or other comparable documents of such Selling
Shareholder (if such Selling Shareholder is a corporation or other entity), or, to such
counsel’s knowledge, any agreement or other instrument binding upon such Selling Shareholder
or, any judgment, order or decree, known to such counsel, of any governmental body, agency
or court having jurisdiction over such Selling Shareholder, and no consent, approval,
authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is
required for the performance by such Selling Shareholder of its obligations under this
Agreement or the Power of Attorney and Custody Agreement, except such as may be required by
the rules of FINRA and by the securities
19
or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with offer and sale of the
Securities as to which no opinion need be rendered; and
(iv) upon payment for the Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to
this Agreement, delivery of such Securities, as directed by the Underwriter, to Cede or such
other nominee as may be designated by DTC, registration of such Securities in the name of
Cede or such other nominee and the crediting of such Securities on the books of DTC to
securities accounts of the Underwriter (assuming that neither DTC nor the Underwriter has
notice of any adverse claim within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC to such
Securities), (A) DTC shall be a “protected purchaser” of such Securities within the meaning
of Section 8-303 of the UCC, (B) under Section 8-501 of the UCC, the Underwriter will
acquire a valid security entitlement in respect of such Securities and (C) no action based
on any “adverse claim” (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC) to such Securities
may be asserted against the Underwriter with respect to such security entitlement; in giving
this opinion, counsel for such Selling Shareholders may assume that when such payment,
delivery and crediting occur, (x) such Securities will have been registered in the name of
Cede or another nominee of DTC designated by DTC, in each case on the Company’s share
registry in accordance with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, (y)
DTC will be a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC and (z)
appropriate entries to the account of the Underwriter on the records of DTC will have been
made pursuant to the UCC.
The opinions of Blank Rome LLP and counsel for the Selling Shareholders described in
Sections 5(c) and 5(d) above (and any opinions of counsel for any Selling Shareholder
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) shall be rendered to the Underwriter at
the request of the Company or one or more of the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be,
and shall so state therein.

Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, there has been no material adverse change in the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary

of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein
contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company and the Selling Shareholders in connection with
the sale of the Securities as herein contemplated shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Underwriter and counsel for the Underwriter.
(l) Termination of Agreement. If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement, may be terminated by the
Underwriter by notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholders at any time at or prior to

as provided in Section 4 and except that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive any such termination
and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Underwriter. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Underwriter, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an
“Affiliate”), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as
incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B
Information, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the
Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as
incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged
21
untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(e) below) any such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel chosen by UBS Securities), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any
such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the
extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by UBS Securities expressly for use in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or the Preliminary
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).
(b) Each Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Underwriter, its Affiliates and selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the
extent and in the manner set forth in clauses (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above but only with respect to
untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or the Preliminary
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Selling Shareholders expressly for use therein. The liability of each Selling Shareholder
under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to
the aggregate offering price, minus the related underwriting discounts and commissions, of the
Securities sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.
(c) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers and Selling Shareholders. The
Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers
who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and each Selling Shareholder
and each person, if any, who controls any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but
only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions,
made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information
or the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by UBS Securities expressly for use therein.
(d) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as
promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party
shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not
materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks indemnity from an
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent
that it shall elect, jointly with all
22
other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified
party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and representation of both parties would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential conflicting interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to select separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party to assume such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party
shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it
being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more
than one separate counsel reasonably approved by the indemnifying party (or by UBS Securities in
the case of Section 6(c)), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether
or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement,
compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf
of any indemnified party.
(e) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party
shall have the right to separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party under Section
6(d) and the indemnified party shall have requested in writing that an indemnifying party reimburse
the indemnified party for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, as specified in Section
6(d), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for the good faith settlement of any
proceeding with respect to which the indemnifying party is required to indemnify the indemnified
party under Section 6(a) effected without the indemnifying party’s written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received written notice of the terms of
such settlement at least 60 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request
prior to the date of such settlement, unless such failure to reimburse the indemnified party is
based on a dispute with a good faith basis as to either the obligation of the indemnifying party
arising under this Section 6 to indemnify the indemnified party or the amount of the reimbursement
sought (including, without limitation, the rates, fees or expenses charged or the time incurred by
the indemnified party’s counsel) and the indemnifying party shall have notified the indemnified
party of such good faith dispute prior to the date of such settlement.
(f) Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification. The provisions of this Section shall
not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling Shareholders with respect to
indemnification.
SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is
for any reason unavailable to (other than because such Section is not applicable in accordance with
its terms) or
23
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such
indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on
the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the
other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and
the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from
the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by
each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders and the total underwriting discount received by
the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate
initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.
The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the
Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholders or by
the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The aggregate liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained
in this Section 7 and the indemnification provisions of Section 6 shall be limited to an amount
equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before
expenses, to such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Securities sold by such Selling Shareholder
pursuant to this Agreement, and is not joint with any other Selling Shareholder or the Company.
The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed
to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Underwriter shall not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
24
For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and the Underwriter’s
Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement,
and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution
as the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as the case may be.
The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the
Selling Shareholders with respect to contribution.
SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of
officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Selling Shareholders submitted pursuant
hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling
the Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or any person
controlling any Selling Shareholder and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.
SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.
(a) Termination; General. UBS Securities may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company and the Selling Shareholders, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if, in the
judgment of UBS Securities, there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since
the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto) or General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition,
financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company
and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the
United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation
thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in
national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of
which is such as to make it, in the judgment of UBS Securities, impracticable or inadvisable to
market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading
in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the
NASDAQ Global Select Market, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York
Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ Global Select Market has been suspended or materially limited, or
minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been
required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any
other governmental authority, or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or
securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a commercial banking
moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities.
(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination
shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof,
and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full
force and effect.
SECTION 10. Default by one or more of the Selling Shareholders. If a Selling
Shareholder shall fail at Closing Time to sell and deliver the number of Securities which such
Selling Shareholder or Selling Shareholders are obligated to sell hereunder, and the remaining
Selling Shareholders do not exercise the right hereby granted to increase, pro rata or otherwise,
the number of Securities to be sold by
25
them hereunder to the total number to be sold by all Selling Shareholders as set forth in
Schedule A hereto, then the Underwriter may by notice from the Underwriter to the Company and the
non-defaulting Selling Shareholders, either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability on
the fault of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 shall
remain in full force and effect or (ii) elect to purchase the Securities which the non-defaulting
Selling Shareholders have agreed to sell hereunder. No action taken pursuant to this Section 10
shall relieve any Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability, if any, in respect of such
default.
In the event of a default by any Selling Shareholder as referred to in this Section 10, each
of UBS Securities, the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders shall have the right to
postpone Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required change
in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
SECTION 11. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
from the commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the
Company (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Company) may disclose to any and
all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are
used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the U.S. Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure.
SECTION 12. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form
of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriter shall be directed to UBS Securities at 000 Xxxx

be directed to it at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx xx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, attention of General
Counsel, and notices to the Selling Shareholders shall be directed to the contact set forth on
Schedule A hereto.
SECTION 13. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company and each
Selling Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the
Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction
between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other
hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such
transaction the Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or
fiduciary of the Company or any Selling Shareholder, or its respective stockholders, creditors,
employees or any other party, (c) the Underwriter has not assumed or will assume an advisory or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the
offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the
Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Selling Shareholder on other
matters) and the Underwriter has no obligation to the Company or any Selling Shareholder with
respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this
Agreement, (d) the Underwriter and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions
that involve interests that differ from those of each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder,
and (e) the Underwriter has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with
respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders
has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it
deemed appropriate.
SECTION 14. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the
Underwriter, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
26
SECTION 15. Parties. This Agreement shall each inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Underwriter, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective
successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to

Shareholders and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors
referred to in Sections 6 and 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

exclusive benefit of the Underwriter, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective
successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal
representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of

purchase.
SECTION 16. Trial by Jury. The Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates), each of the Selling Shareholders
and the Underwriter hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,

Re: Proposed Public Offering by GSI Commerce, Inc.
Dear Sirs:
The undersigned, a stockholder [and an officer and/or director] of GSI Commerce, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”)
propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and the
Selling Shareholders providing for the public offering (the “Offering”) of shares (the
“Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). In
recognition of the benefit that such an Offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder
[and an officer and/or director] of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each
underwriter to be named in the Purchase Agreement that, during a period of 45 days from the date of
the Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written
consent of UBS Securities, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell
any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Company’s
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned
has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to any of the foregoing
(collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any
transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence
of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by
delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may
transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of UBS Securities, provided that
(1) in the case of paragraphs (i) — (vi) below, UBS Securities receive a signed lock-up agreement
for the balance of the Lockup Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the
case may be, (2) in the case of paragraphs (i) — (vi) below, any such transfer shall not involve a
disposition for value, (3) in the case of paragraphs (i) — (vi) below, such transfers are not
required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
or otherwise during the Lock-up Period, (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect
any public filing (other than a filing on a Form 4, Form 5, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or 13D A
or 13G A) made after the expiration of the Lock-up Period), report or any other public announcement
regarding such transfers during the Lock-up Period and (5) in the case of paragraphs (i) — (vii)
below, the undersigned notifies UBS Securities at least three days prior to the proposed transfer
or disposition:
(i) | as a bona fide gift or gifts; or |
(ii) | to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or | ||
(iii) | as a distribution to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; or | ||
(iv) | to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; or | ||
(v) | if the undersigned is an individual, by will or intestate succession to the immediate family of the undersigned, or in the event that the undersigned becomes permanently disabled; or | ||
(vi) | if the undersigned is a corporation, to any wholly owned subsidiary of such corporation or of such corporation’s Parent (as defined below) or to any corporation (a “Parent”) which directly, or indirectly through one or more wholly owned subsidiaries, owns all of the outstanding equity of the undersigned; or | ||
(vii) | in connection with any exercise or vesting of any restricted stock unit or award, stock option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Common Stock, conversion of a security convertible into Common Stock, or disposition of shares of Common Stock (i) in lieu of payment of the exercise or conversion price thereof or (ii) to satisfy tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with the vesting, exercise or conversion of equity awards acquired by the undersigned pursuant to equity incentive plans existing and as in effect on the date of this agreement; or | ||
(viii) | pursuant to a written plan for trading securities in effect on the date of this agreement, which was established pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1 Plan”); provided that the undersigned agrees that any such 10b5-1 Plan shall not be amended or modified (other than to terminate such 10b5-1 Plan) during the Lock-Up Period; or | ||
(ix) | pursuant to extensions or renewals of pledge agreements and 10b5-1 Plans in existence on the date hereof on substantially the same terms, provided that the Company does not make any public announcement relating to such renewals; or | ||
(x) | in connection with the sale of the undersigned’s approximately pro rata portion of the sale of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock as disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement dated December 7, 2009. |
The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the
Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in
compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
2
This letter agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any delay in the
Offering, any increase or reduction in the size of, or other change in, the Offering; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this letter agreement shall
automatically terminate and shall cease to be of any force and effect (i) unless the Company and
UBS Securities have entered into the Purchase Agreement on or before December 31, 2009, or (ii) if
the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason.
Very truly yours, |
