PAYPAL HOLDINGS, INC. 

2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN 

ELECTING DIRECTOR QUARTERLY AWARD AGREEMENT 

This award agreement (this “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award (this
“Award”) of deferred stock units (“DSUs”) granted to you under the PayPal Holdings, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and
pursuant to your election to defer your annual retainer for your service on the Board. 
 1. The Plan. This Award is
made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated in this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement that are not defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. 

2. Award. The number of DSUs subject to this Award is set forth at the end of this Award Agreement. Each DSU constitutes an unfunded and
unsecured promise of PayPal Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, one share of Stock (the “Share” or the
“Shares” as the context requires) as soon as practicable but in no case more than 10 days following the Delivery Date as provided herein. You shall also be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of any regular
cash dividends declared on the Shares for which the record date occurred after the date of grant and prior to the issuance or delivery of the Shares upon or after the Delivery Date (the “dividend equivalent rights”). Except as otherwise
provided herein, until the Shares are issued or transferred to you, you have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor, and no rights as a stockholder, of the Company. THIS AWARD IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE
PLAN AND THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ARBITRATION AND CHOICE OF FORUM PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 16. 

3. Vesting. You shall be vested in 100% of the DSUs on the Date of Grant specified at the end of this Award Agreement. 

4. DSU Account. A bookkeeping account will be established for you which shall be credited with all DSUs and any dividend equivalent
rights that have been granted to you. 
 5. Delivery of Shares/DSU Payments. 

(a) Except as provided in this Paragraph 5 and in Paragraphs 6, 8, 9 and 10, the Shares underlying the DSUs and any dividend equivalent rights
corresponding to the DSUs shall be delivered as soon as practicable but in no case more than 10 days following the Delivery Date specified at the end of this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Delivery Date occurs at a time when
you are considered by the Company to be one of the Company’s “specified employees” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations and guidance issued from time to time thereunder
(including, without limitation, any regulations and guidance setting forth the time period with respect to which the determination whether you are a “specified employee” must be made), then the delivery of the Shares automatically shall be
deferred until six months after you have separated from service, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, or, if earlier, the date of your death. Such deferral shall not affect the number of Shares to be delivered. 







 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all DSUs and any dividend equivalent rights shall become
payable immediately upon a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan; provided, however, that in no event will a “Change in Control” be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Award Agreement if such event would not
constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations and guidance issued
from time to time thereunder. 
 6. Disability and Death. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, if your service with the Company is terminated by reason of disability (as
defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code and as determined by the Committee), Shares corresponding to your outstanding DSUs and any dividend equivalent rights shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable after the date of your
separation from service. 
 (b) In the event of your death, Shares corresponding to your outstanding DSUs and any dividend equivalent rights
shall be delivered to the representative of your estate as soon as practicable after the date of death and after such documentation as may be requested by the Committee is provided to the Committee. 

7. Non-transferability. Except as otherwise may be provided by the Committee, the limitations set forth in Section 10.4 of the Plan
shall apply. Any assignment in violation of the provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall be null and void. 
 8. Withholding, Consents and
Legends. 
 (a) The delivery of Shares is conditioned on your satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes, to the extent applicable
(in accordance with Section 16.3 of the Plan). 
 (b) Your rights in respect of your DSUs are conditioned on the receipt to the full
satisfaction of the Committee of any required consents that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable. 
 (c) The Company may
affix to certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which you may be subject under a separate agreement
with the Company). The Company may advise the transfer agent to place a stop transfer order against any legended Shares. 
 9. Right of
Offset. The Company shall have the right to offset against the obligation to deliver Shares under this Award Agreement any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans, or
amounts repayable to the Company pursuant to other director programs) you then owe to the Company and any amounts the Committee otherwise deems appropriate. 

10. Award Subject to Clawback. The Award, Shares, other securities, other awards or other property delivered pursuant to the Award are
subject to forfeiture, recovery by

the Company or other action pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any such policy which the Company may be
required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law. 

11. No Rights to Continued Service. Nothing in this Award Agreement or the Plan shall be construed as giving you any right to continued
service with the Company or affect any right that the Company may have to terminate your service with the Company or alter the terms and conditions of your service. 

12. Successors and Assigns of the Company. The terms and conditions of this Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to
the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns.

respect to any actions to be taken or determinations to be made in connection with this Award Agreement, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

14. Amendment. The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement;
provided, that no such amendment shall materially adversely affect your rights and obligations under this Award Agreement without your consent, except that the Committee reserves the right to accelerate the delivery of the Shares and
in its discretion provide that such Shares may not be transferable until the Delivery Date on which such Shares otherwise would have been delivered (and that in respect of such Shares you will remain obligated to return the Shares and any dividend
equivalents to the Company in the circumstances under which the Shares would not have been delivered pursuant to Paragraphs 4, 5 or 10); provided further, that, such acceleration of delivery of Shares shall not occur if such
acceleration would cause the holder of an Award to be subject to an excise tax under Section 409A of the Code. Any amendment of this Award Agreement shall be in writing signed by an authorized member of the Committee or a person or persons
designated by the Committee. 
 15. Adjustment. The number of DSUs and the number and kind of Shares subject to this Award Agreement

 (c) The agreement
by you and the Company as to forum is independent of the law that may be applied in the action, and you and the Company agree to such forum even if the forum may under applicable law choose to apply non-forum law. You and the Company hereby waive,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which you or the Company now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any court referred to in Paragraph
16(b). You and the Company undertake not to commence any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to or concerning this Award Agreement in any forum other than a forum described in this Paragraph 16. You and (subject to the last

to do so or to indemnify you for any failure to do so, to unilaterally amend the Plan and/or this Award Agreement to ensure that all DSUs are awarded in a manner that qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A, provided,
