This Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on October 18, 2016 in Beijing, by and between:

 

Party A: Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

Registered Address: 3/F, No. 10 Shangdi 10th Street, Haidian District, Beijing

 

Party B: Zhixiang Liang

ID 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 5.418% of equity interests in Beijing BaiduPay Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“BaiduPay”), and is a shareholder of BaiduPay;

 

  3.

On December 22, 2015, Party A provided Party B with an interest-free loan of RMB90 million in connection with its investment in BaiduPay. With regards to such loan, Party A and Party B enter into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated December 22, 2015 (the “Original Loan Agreement”); and

 

  4.

The Parties intend to amend and restate the Original Loan Agreement agreed herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, Party A and Party B agree as follows through negotiations and to be bound hereby:

 

  1.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Party A agrees to provide, and Party B agrees to accept, an interest-free loan in the amount of RMB216,720,000.00.

 

  2.

Party B confirms receipt of such loan and has applied the entire loan amount to pay his investment in BaiduPay.

 

  3.

The term of the loan under this Agreement shall commence on the date Party B receives such loan until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof, which term could be extended upon mutual written consent of the Parties. During the term of the loan or any extension thereto, Party A has the right to require immediate maturity of the loan with written notice to Party B for repayment of the loan in accordance to this Agreement if:

 

  (1)

Party B terminates, voluntarily or involuntarily, his employment with Party A or an affiliate of Party A;

 

  (2)

Party B is dead, deprived or restricted of civil capacity;

1


  (5)

To the extent permitted under the laws of the PRC, Party A or a person designated by Party A may invest in BaiduPay to conduct internet information service business, value-added telecommunication business and other business, and Party A has issued to Party B a written notice to exercise the option for purchase of equity in BaiduPay pursuant to Article 4 of the Amended and Restated Exclusive Equity Purchase and Transfer Option Agreement.

 

  4.

The parties herein agree and acknowledge that, to the extent and within the scope permitted by the laws of the PRC, Party A shall have the right but no obligation to purchase or designate any other person (including natural person, legal entity or any other entity) to purchase the equity interest in BaiduPay held by Party B in whole or in part (the “Option”), provided that Party A shall issue a written notice to purchase equity interests to Party B. Upon issuance of a written notice to exercise such Option by Party A, Party B shall, in accordance with Party A’s intentions and instructions, immediately transfer the equity interest in BaiduPay held by him to Party A or other any person designated by Party A at its original investment price (“Original Investment Price”) or, if otherwise required by law, any other price agreed upon by Party A. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that in connection with exercise of the Option by Party A, if the lowest price of equity interest subscription permitted under applicable laws and regulations is higher than the Original Investment Price, the subscription price payable by Party A or any other person designated by Party A shall be equal to such lowest price permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The parties agree to enter into an Amended and Restated Exclusive Equity Option Agreement regarding the Option.

 

  5.

Both Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that Party B may repay the loan only in the following manner: if permitted by PRC laws, Party B or its successor or assign shall transfer the equity interests in BaiduPay to Party A or its designated persons and use the proceeds from such transfer to repay the loan under this Agreement, or otherwise agreed by the Parties.

 

  6.

Both Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, except as otherwise provided for herein, the loan under this Agreement is interest-free; provided, however, that if the loan becomes due and Party B needs to transfer his equity interests in BaiduPay to Party A or its designated person, and the actual transfer price is higher than the loan principal due to legal requirements or other reasons, the amount in excess of the loan principal, to the extent permitted by law, Party B agrees to pay such excessive amount, net of any applicable individual income tax, at the discretion of Party A.

  8.

To secure performance of his obligations under this Agreement, Party B agrees to pledge all his equity interests in BaiduPay to Party A (the “Equity Pledge”). Both Parties agree to enter into an Equity Pledge Agreement (the “Equity Pledge Agreement”) regarding the Equity Pledge.
