Party A: Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
Registered Address: 3/F, No. 10 Shangdi 10th Street, Haidian District, Beijing

ID Card No.:
WHEREAS,
1. | Party A is a foreign invested enterprise incorporated under the laws of the PRC, |
2. | Party B is a Chinese citizen, holding 50% of equity interests of Beijing Perusal Technology Co., Ltd. (“Perusal”), and is the shareholder of Perusal; |
3. | On May 3, 2016, Party A provided Party B with an interest-free loan of RMB1.02344 billion (RMB1,023,440,000), used towards the investment in Perusal. With regards to such loan, Party A and Party B signed a Loan Agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) on May 3, 2016. |
4. | The Parties propose to amend and restate the Original Loan Agreement as expressed herein. |
Party A and Party B, through friendly consultation, agree as follows:
1. | In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Party A agrees to provide an interest-free loan in the amount of RMB1.59844 billion yuan (RMB1,598,440,000) to Party B, and Party B agrees to accept such loan. |
2. | Party B confirms the receipt of such loan and has applied part of such loan equal to RMB 645,940,000 toward payment of transfer price to acquire the equity interests of Perusal, and the remaining RMB952,500,000 will be used to pay the newly increased registered capital of Perusal subscribed by it. |
3. | The term of the loan under this Agreement shall commence on the date Party B receives such loan to the date 10 years from the execution of this Agreement, which may be extended upon mutual written consent of the Parties. During the term of the loan or the extended term of the loan, Party A has the right to cause the loan to be due immediately by written notice, and require Party B to repay the loan in accordance to this Agreement in the event any of the following circumstances occur to Party B: |
(1) | Party B leaves or is dismissed from Party A or an affiliated company of Party A; |
(2) | Party B’s death, lack or limitation of civil capacity; |
(3) | Party B engages in criminal act or is involved in criminal activities; |

4. | The parties herein agree and confirm that, to the extent and within the scope permitted by the laws of the PRC, Party A shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase or designate other persons (including natural person, legal entity or any other entity) to purchase the equity interests of Perusal held by Party B in whole or in part (hereinafter referred to as “Option Right”), but Party A shall issue a written notice to purchase equity interests to Party B. Upon Party A’s issuance of a written notice to exercise such Option, Party B shall, in accordance with Party A’s wishes and instructions, immediately transfer all of its equity interests in Perusal to Party A or other persons as designated by Party A at the original investment price (“Original Investment Price”) or at another price agreed upon by Party A where the law otherwise requires. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge, when Party A exercises its Option Right, if in accordance with the applicable laws at the time, the lowest price of the equity interests permitted is higher than the Original Investment Price, then the subscription price of Party A or other persons designated by Party A shall be the lowest price permitted by the laws.

6. | The Parties herein agree and confirm that this loan is an interest-free loan unless there are different provisions in this Agreement. But if the loan is due and Party B has to transfer his equity interests in Perusal to Party A or its designated person and the proceeds exceed the loan principal due to the legal requirement or other reasons, Party B agrees to pay such excess amount over the principal of proceeds, net of the individual income tax and other taxes and fees payable by Party B, to Party A at its decision to the extent permissible by the law. |
7. | The parties agree and confirm that Party B shall be deemed to have completed his obligations under this Agreement only if all of the following requirements are met: |
(1) | Party B has transferred all his equity interests in Perusal to Party A and/or its designated person; and |
(2) | Party B has repaid the total amount of proceeds from the equity interest transfer or the maximum amount (including principal and the maximum interests as permitted by the applicable laws at the time) permitted by applicable laws to Party A. |
8. | To secure the performance of debt under this Agreement, Party B agrees to pledge all of his equity interests in Perusal to Party A (the “Equity Pledge”). The parties agree to execute an equity pledge agreement for the above matters. |
