THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED TECHNICAL SUPPORT AGREEMENT ("this Agreement") is
entered into on this 9th day of December, 2003 by and between Shanghai Shanda
Networking Co., Ltd. ("Party A"), a company organized and existing under the
laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), and Shengqu Information
Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Party B"), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise
organized and existing under the laws of the PRC. Each of Party A and Party B
shall hereinafter individually be referred to as a "Party" and collectively as
the "Parties".

WHEREAS:

(1)     Party A engages in businesses such as the operating of online games in
        PRC (the "Business") and Party B possesses expertise and resources on
        technology involved in the Business. Party A intends to retain Party B
        to provide relevant technical support service with respect to the
        Business ("Technical Support Service"), and Party B is willing to accept
        such retainer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
        Party A and Party B entered into an Technical Support Agreement on
        February 18, 2003;

(2)     Pursuant to an Amendment Agreement to Technical Support Agreement and a
        Supplementary Agreement to Technical Support Agreement dated February
        25, 2003 and October 28, 2003 respectively, the Parties modified certain
        provisions relating to the service fees, the term of agreement and other
        aspects, and

(3)     The Parties desire to integrate the above-mentioned agreements and make
        further amendments to these agreements.

NOW THEREFORE, the Technical Support Agreement, the Amendment Agreement to
Technical Support Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement to Technical Support
Agreement dated February 18, 2003, February 25, 2003 and October 28, 2003
respectively shall be superseded by this Agreement after the effective date
hereof. The Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1   SERVICE AND PAYMENT

1.      Party A hereby:

        (3) months of the last day of each quarter (the "Service Fee"). The
        amount of the Service Fee shall be decided according to the Technical
        Support Service provided by Party B upon request of Party A, and shall
        be calculated in accordance with the number of days and personnel
        involved in the Technical Support Service. A discount of 88% shall apply

        payable by Party A to Party B.

2.      Party B agrees to provide the Technical Support Service listed in
        Schedule A hereof and as requested by Party A.

3.      Unless otherwise agreed by Party B in writing, Party A shall not retain

        between February 19 and November 2003 under the previous Technical
        Support Agreement, the Amendment Agreement to Technical Support
        Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement to Technical Support Agreement
        shall be adjusted accordingly pursuant to this Article 1.

        authorized representatives of the Parties and shall remain effective for
        a period of ten (10) years, which will be automatically renewed for

        current term expires. Party A shall not terminate this Agreement within
        the term of this Agreement.
