Subject to certain conditions, Mr. Dutta will also remain eligible to receive 8/12th of the amount he would have received with respect to the 2008 annual component of the eBay Incentive Plan had he remained eligible to receive payment in 2009 with respect to the 2008 annual component, less any applicable withholding taxes.
