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

to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term

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
6.10 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of 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 generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Parent under this Agreement,
and the obligations and liabilities of Stockholder under this Agreement, are in addition to their
respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under 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.

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.
