Section 2. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. If Indemnitee is made a party to or is a participant in, or is threatened to be
made a party to or participant in, any Third-Party Proceeding by reason of her Corporate Status, Etsy will indemnify her to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement that the Indemnitee actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the Third-Party Proceeding, as long as she met the Standard of Conduct. 

Section 3. Indemnity in Etsy Proceedings. If Indemnitee is made a party to or is a participant in, or is threatened to be made a
party to or participant in, any Etsy Proceeding by reason of her Corporate Status, Etsy will indemnify her to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses that she actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the Etsy
Proceeding, as long as she met the Standard of Conduct. Etsy will not, however, indemnify the Indemnitee under this Section 3 for Expenses related to any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee is finally adjudged liable to Etsy
unless and to the extent the Court determines that indemnification may be made in view of all the circumstances of the case. 

Section 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding the other provisions of

 -4- 








 
indemnify her against all Expenses that she actually and reasonably incurred related to each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter (including any claim, issue or matter related to the
successfully resolved claim, issue or matter) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Etsy agrees that the termination of any claim, issue or matter in any Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, will be considered a
successful result as to the claim, issue or matter. 
 Section 5. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if the Indemnitee, due to her Corporate Status, is asked or required to be a witness or participant in any Proceeding to which she is not a party, Etsy will indemnify her against all Expenses that she actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
 Section 6. Additional
Indemnification. Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 2, 3, 4 or 5, Etsy will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any
Proceeding by reason of her Corporate Status against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on her behalf in connection with the Proceeding or any claim, issue or
matter in the Proceeding, including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. 

Section 7. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Etsy will not be obligated under this Agreement to
make any indemnification payment (or to advance any Expenses) under this Agreement in connection with: 
 (a) any claim involving Indemnitee

 i. for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision,
except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except as set forth in Section 13(b); 

ii. for (A) an accounting of profits made from the Indemnitee’s purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) of Etsy’s securities

of any profits that the Indemnitee realized from the sale of Etsy’s securities, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of Etsy pursuant to Section 304 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or the Indemnitee’s payment to Etsy of profits arising from the Indemnitee’s purchase and sale of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or
(C) the Indemnitee’s reimbursement to Etsy of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including any policy adopted to comply with stock
exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; 
 (b) except for any Proceeding brought by the Indemnitee
to enforce her rights under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained 

  
 -5- 








 
by Etsy, any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) that the Indemnitee has initiated against Etsy or its agents or other indemnitees, unless the Board approved the Proceeding (or any part of
any Proceeding) before the Indemnitee initiated the Proceeding (or part of the Proceeding). 
 Section 8. Advances of Expenses.

 (a) Etsy will advance the Expenses that the Indemnitee incurs in connection with any Proceeding within thirty (30) days after Etsy
receives a statement requesting an advancement of Expenses. Any advancement of Expenses that Etsy makes to the Indemnitee under this Section 8 will be unsecured and will be interest-free. 

(b) The Indemnitee will qualify for an advancement of Expenses upon her execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Indemnitee’s
execution and delivery of this Agreement constitutes her agreement to repay, without interest, the amounts advanced to her to the extent it is ultimately determined that she is not entitled to be indemnified by Etsy for the amounts that she has been
advanced. No other form of undertaking will be required for an advancement of Expenses other than the execution of this Agreement. 
 (c)
Except for any Proceeding by the Indemnitee to enforce her rights under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by Etsy, Etsy will not be required to advance the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in any Proceeding (or part of any Proceeding) that the Indemnitee has initiated against Etsy or any of its agents or other indemnitees, unless the Board approved the Proceeding (or part of the Proceeding) before the Indemnitee initiated
the Proceeding (or part of the Proceeding). 
 Section 9. Procedure for Notification. 

(a) To obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, the Indemnitee must provide Etsy a written request for
indemnification or an advancement of Expenses. The Indemnitee’s written request must be provided as soon as reasonably practicable after the Indemnitee receives written notice of the matter for which she is seeking indemnification or an
advancement of Expenses. The failure to notify Etsy will not relieve Etsy of any obligation it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless (and only to the extent that) the failure or resulting delay materially prejudices Etsy.

 (b) The Indemnitee’s written request must include a description of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding, together
with all of the documentation and other information available to the Indemnitee that is reasonably necessary for Etsy to determine the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification after the final disposition of the Proceeding. 

Section 10. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. 

(a) After Etsy receives the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, a determination, if required by applicable law, as to the
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will be made in the specific case: 
 i. if a Change in Control has occurred, by
Independent Counsel selected by the Indemnitee; or 

  
 -6- 








 ii. if a Change in Control has not occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested
Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no
Disinterested Directors or, if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel selected by the Board or (D) if directed by the Board, by the stockholders of Etsy. 

(b) Etsy will give the Indemnitee prompt written notice of any determination as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. If
the Determination Party denies the Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, Etsy will provide the Indemnitee a written summary of the basis for the denial. 

(c) If the Determination Party determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, Etsy will make the
indemnification payment to the Indemnitee within ten (10) days after the determination is made. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Determination Party, including by providing, at the Determination Party’s reasonable request, any
documents, materials or other information (other than any privileged documents, materials or information) that are reasonably available to Indemnitee. Etsy will bear any costs or Expenses that the Indemnitee incurs in cooperating with the
Determination Party. 
 Section 11. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a) The Determination Party will presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. That a Determination Party
has not made a determination as to whether the Indemnitee has met the Standard of Conduct or any other applicable standard of conduct necessary to establish that she is entitled to indemnification may not be used as a defense to Etsy’s
obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement, nor will that create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the Standard of Conduct or any other applicable standard of conduct. Likewise, that a Determination Party has determined
that the Indemnitee has not met the Standard of Conduct or any other applicable standard of conduct necessary to establish that she is entitled to indemnification will not be used as a defense to Etsy’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee
under this Agreement, nor will that create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the Standard of Conduct. For purposes of determining whether the Indemnitee has met the Standard of Conduct, the Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in good
faith if her action was based on her reliance on (i) the books and records of Etsy or other applicable Enterprise, (ii) any information that the directors or officers of Etsy or applicable Enterprise provided to the Indemnitee,
(iii) the advice of legal counsel for Etsy or applicable Enterprise or (iv) any information, records, reports, opinions or statements of any accountant, appraiser, financial advisor or other expert selected with reasonable care by or on
behalf of Etsy or other applicable Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 11(a) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
 (b) If the Determination Party does not make a determination within sixty (60) days after Etsy
receives the Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, the Indemnitee will be deemed to have met the Standard of Conduct unless the Indemnitee has made a material misstatement or omission in connection with her request for indemnification or
applicable law 

  
 -7- 








 
prohibits indemnification. The 60-day period may be extended for a period of up to thirty (30) days if the Determination Party decides in good faith that additional time is needed to make
the determination. If Etsy’s stockholders (in accordance with Section 10(a)(ii)(D)) or Independent Counsel are serving as the Determination Party, the provisions of this Section 11(b) will not apply. 

Section 12. Remedies of Indemnitee. 

(a) If (i) the Determination Party determines that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) an
advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) a Determination Party does not make a determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification within ninety (90) days after
Etsy receives the Indemnitee’s request for indemnification under this Agreement, (iv) Etsy does not make a payment of indemnification under Sections 4 or 5 within ten (10) days after Etsy receives the Indemnitee’s request
for indemnification under Sections 4 or 5 of this Agreement, (v) Etsy does not make a payment of indemnification pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 6 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after the Determination Party has determined that the
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (vi) Etsy or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover
from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Indemnitee will be entitled to an adjudication of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification or an advancement of Expenses under this Agreement. 

(b) If the Determination Party determines that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, any judicial proceeding
that the Indemnitee commences to enforce her rights to indemnification will be conducted as a de novo trial on the merits. 

(c) In any judicial proceeding that the Indemnitee commences to enforce her rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this
Agreement, Etsy will have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses. 
 (d) If the
Determination Party determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, Etsy will be bound by the determination in any judicial proceeding that the Indemnitee commences to enforce her rights to indemnification under
this Agreement, unless the Indemnitee has misstated or omitted a material fact in connection with her request for indemnification or the indemnification is prohibited by applicable law. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to the entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification under
this Agreement will be required to be made before the final disposition of the Proceeding. 
 Section 13. Non-exclusivity; Survival
of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation. 
 (a) The Indemnitee’s rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses under this
Agreement are not exclusive of any other rights that the Indemnitee may have under applicable law, Etsy’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders, resolution of directors or otherwise. To the extent
that a change in Delaware law, 

  
 -8- 








 
whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under Etsy’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and
this Agreement, the parties intend that Indemnitee will enjoy the greater benefits afforded by the change, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth in this Agreement or Delaware law. If this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, is
amended, altered or repealed, the amendment, alteration or repeal will not limit any right of the Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action that she took or failed to take in her Corporate Status before the amendment, alteration or
repeal. 
 (b) To the extent that Etsy maintains an insurance policy providing liability insurance for agents, the Indemnitee will be
covered by the policy to the fullest extent of the coverage available for any agent under the policy. [Etsy acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by
[            ] and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”). Etsy agrees that, as between Etsy and the Secondary Indemnitors, Etsy is fully and
primarily responsible for amounts required to be indemnified or advanced under Etsy’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement, regardless of any right of recovery Indemnitee may have from Secondary Indemnitors for the same
amounts. Etsy irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any right of contribution or subrogation or any other recovery of any kind against the Secondary Indemnitor with respect to the liabilities for which Etsy is primarily responsible under
this Section 13(b). Etsy also agrees that no advancement or indemnification payment by any Secondary Indemnitor on behalf of Indemnitee shall affect the foregoing and, in the event of any payment by the Secondary Indemnitors of amounts
otherwise required to be indemnified or advanced by Etsy under Etsy’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement, the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of
recovery of the Indemnitee against Etsy and Indemnitee will execute all papers reasonably required and will do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable
Indemnitee-related entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Etsy and Indemnitee agree that the Secondary Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 13(b).]1 
 (c) [Except as set forth in Section 13(b),]2 If Etsy makes any payment under this Agreement, Etsy will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee agrees to execute all
documents and instruments and take all other action necessary to enable Etsy to bring suit to enforce its subrogation rights. 
 (d) [Except
as set forth in Section 13(b),]3 (i) Etsy will not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable under this Agreement (or for which advancement is
provided under this Agreement) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received the payment under any insurance policy, other contract or agreement or otherwise; and (ii) Etsy’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnity or
advance Expenses to the Indemnitee under this Agreement will be reduced by any amount the Indemnitee actually receives as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise.

 (e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in
this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, Etsy, instead of indemnifying Indemnitee, will contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in
connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits
received by Etsy and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and Etsy (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such
events and transactions. The relative fault of Etsy and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances
resulting in such Expenses and other amounts paid or to be paid. 
 Section 14. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement will
continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee ceases to serve as an agent or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding in respect of which Indemnitee is
granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement and of any Proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee to enforce her rights under this Agreement. The Indemnitee’s rights of indemnification and advancement of
Expenses under this Agreement will be binding upon the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of Etsy) and will continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be an agent. The Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses under this Agreement will inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and her
spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. 
 Section 15. Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion
of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will not in any way be affected or impaired and will remain enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law; (b) such provision will be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested in this Agreement. 
 Section 16. Modification and Waiver. This
Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or supplemented unless both Etsy and the Indemnitee sign a written instrument setting forth the amendment, modification, waiver or supplement.
