 In consideration of my employment and the compensation paid to me by eLong, Inc., a Cayman Island corporation, or a subsidiary or
other affiliate or related company thereof (eLong, Inc. or any such subsidiary or related company or other affiliate referred to herein individually and collectively as “eLong”), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I agree as follows: 
 1.
Non-Competition. During my employment with eLong and continuing until the later of (a) twelve months after the termination of my employment with eLong (and its affiliates) for any reason or (b) the 3rd anniversary of the Start Date (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement between me and eLong), I will not, on my own behalf, or as owner, manager,

my own account or for the account of any other person: (i) solicit, induce, attempt to hire, or hire any employee or contractor of eLong or any other person who may have been employed or engaged by eLong during the term of my employment with
eLong unless that person has not worked with eLong within the twelve months following my last day of employment with eLong; (ii) solicit business or relationship in competition with eLong from any of eLong’s customers, suppliers or
partners or any other entity with which eLong does business; (iii) assist in such hiring or solicitation by any other person or business entity or encourage any such employee to terminate his employment with eLong; or (iv) encourage any
such customer, supplier or partner or any other entity to terminate its relationship with eLong or change its relationship with eLong in such a way that would have any negative consequence on the financial condition, operations, assets, business,
properties or prospects of eLong. 
 3. Confidential Information. 
 (a) While employed by eLong and indefinitely thereafter, I will not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined)
other than pursuant to my employment by and for the benefit of eLong, or disclose any such Confidential Information to anyone outside of eLong or to anyone within eLong who has not been authorized to receive such information, except as directed in

premises. 
 5. Employee’s Prior Obligations. I hereby certify I have no continuing obligation to any previous employer or other
person or entity which requires me not to disclose any information to eLong. 
  

 -3- 








 6. Employee’s Obligation to Cooperate. At any time during my employment with eLong and
thereafter upon the request of eLong, I will execute all documents and perform all lawful acts that eLong considers necessary or advisable to secure its rights hereunder and to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, I agree to render to eLong or its nominee all reasonable assistance as may be required:

secret and other proprietary rights in any Work Product. 

 The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by me in rendering such assistance
at the request of eLong will be reimbursed by eLong; provided that such expenses are substantiated in accordance with the eLong’s policies and provided further that such expenses are approved by either the Audit Committee or the Compensation
Committee of eLong’s Board of Directors. If I am no longer an employee of eLong at the time I render such assistance, eLong will pay me a reasonable fee for my time. 
 7. Termination; Return of eLong Property. Upon the termination of my employment with eLong for any reason, or at any time upon eLong request, I will return to eLong all Work Product and Confidential Information
and notes, memoranda, records, customer lists, proposals, business plans and other documents, computer software, materials, tools, equipment and other property in my possession or under my control, relating to any work done for eLong, or otherwise
be longing to eLong, it being acknowledged that all such items are the sole property of eLong. Further, before obtaining my final paycheck, I agree to sign a certificate stating the following: 
 “Termination Certificate 
 This is to certify that I do not have in my possession
or custody, nor have I failed to return, any Work Product (as defined in the Employee Non-competition, Non-solicitation, Confidential Information and Work Product Agreement between me and eLong, Inc. (“eLong”)) or any notes, memoranda,
records, customer lists, proposals, business plans or other documents or any computer software, materials, tools, equipment or other property (or copies of any of the foregoing) belonging to eLong or any affiliate of eLong including IACT Asia

 (b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of law rules
thereof. The Employee specifically consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or if that court is unable to exercise jurisdiction for any reason, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, New York County, for this purpose. The Company will also have the option to bring an action in China to enforce any claims it has under this Non-competition and Non-solicitation Agreement. I agree that any dispute may be dealt
with in China in accordance with the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) if the dispute is resolved therein. If, under the applicable law, any portion of this Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any
applicable statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, such portion will be deemed to be modified or altered to conform thereto or, if that is not possible, to be omitted from this Agreement; the invalidity of any such portion will not affect the force,
effect and validity of the remaining portion hereof. I consent to service of process in any such action by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Without limiting the foregoing, I specifically consent to jurisdiction and venue in
any court in China for the purposes of any action relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any breach or alleged breach thereof that occurs in whole or in part in China. 
 (c) In the event that any provision of this Agreement will be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its
extending for too great a period of time, over too large a geographic area, over too great a range of activities, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area or range of activities as to which it may be
enforceable. 
 (d) If, after application of paragraph (c) above, any provision of this Agreement will be determined to be invalid,
illegal or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby. Any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this
Agreement will be severed, and after any such severance, all other provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. 
 (e) eLong and I
agree that either of us may waive or fail to enforce violations of any part of this Agreement without waiving the right in the future to insist on strict compliance with all or parts of this Agreement. 
 (f) My obligations under this Agreement will survive the termination of my employment with eLong regardless of the manner of or reasons for such
termination, and regardless of whether such termination constitutes a breach of any other agreement I may have with eLong. My obligations under this Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators, and the provisions of this
Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of eLong.

 (g) I agree and acknowledge that the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement are of a unique
and special nature and necessary to ensure the preservation, protection and continuity of eLong’s business, employees, Confidential Information, and intellectual property rights. Accordingly, eLong is without an adequate legal remedy in the
event of my violation of any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement. I agree, therefore, that, in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or in equity or otherwise, that may be available to eLong, each of the covenants made by me
under this Agreement shall be enforceable by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without any requirement that eLong have to post a bond or that eLong have to prove any damages.

 Annex 4 
 [To be translated into Chinese] 
 FORM OF EMPLOYEE NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION,

 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND WORK PRODUCT AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of my employment and the compensation paid to me by ELONGNET INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD (the “Company”), a
corporation under the laws of People’s Republic of China, (the Company’s parent company, eLong Inc. or any such subsidiary or related company or other affiliate referred to herein individually and collectively as “eLong”), and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I agree as follows: 
 1. Non-Competition. During my employment with eLong and continuing until the later of
(a) twelve months after the termination of my employment with eLong (and its affiliates) for any reason or (b) the 3rd anniversary of the
Start Date (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement between me and eLong, Inc.), I will not, on my own behalf, or as owner, manager, stockholder (other than as stockholder of less than 2% of the outstanding stock of a company that is
publicly traded or listed on a stock exchange), consultant, director, officer or employee of or in any other manner connected with any business entity, participate or be involved in any Competitor without the prior written authorization of eLong.
“Competitor” means an entity or business that is engaged in the development, operation or marketing of any travel business operated in and/or targeted at consumers in the Asia Pacific region. For each year or portion thereof following
termination of my employment during which the provisions of this Section 1 apply, RMB 600,000 worth of Performance Units granted to me under my Employment Agreement with eLong, Inc. dated as of the date hereof and RMB 300,000 of
my total annual salary are a pre-payment of compensation to me for my agreement to be bound by the non-competition obligations of this Section 1 during such period. 
 2. Non-solicitation. For two years following the last date of employment, I will not, either for my own account or for the account of any other person: (i) solicit, induce, attempt to hire, or hire any
employee or contractor of eLong or any other person who may have been employed or engaged by eLong during the term of my employment with eLong unless that person has not worked with eLong within the twelve months following my last day of employment
with eLong; (ii) solicit business or relationship in competition with eLong from any of eLong’s customers, suppliers or partners or any other entity with which eLong does business; (iii) assist in such hiring or solicitation by any
other person or business entity or encourage any such employee to terminate his or her employment with eLong; or (iv) encourage any such customer, supplier or partner or any other entity to terminate its relationship with eLong or change its
relationship with eLong in such a way that would have any negative consequence on the financial condition, operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of eLong. 
 3. Confidential Information. 
 (a) While employed by eLong and indefinitely thereafter, I will not,
directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) other than pursuant to my employment by and for the benefit of eLong, or disclose any such 

  

 -8- 








 
Confidential Information to anyone outside of eLong or to anyone within eLong who has not been authorized to receive such information, except as directed in
writing by an authorized representative of eLong. 
 (b) “Confidential Information” means all trade secrets, proprietary
information, and other data and information, in any form, belonging to eLong or any of their respective clients, customers, consultants, licensees or affiliates including IACT Asia Pacific Limited (“IACT”) and IACT’s affiliates that
is held in confidence by eLong. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to computer software, the structure of eLong’s online directories and search engines, business plans and arrangements, customer lists, marketing materials,
financial information, research, and any other information identified or treated as confidential by eLong or any of their respective clients, customer, consultants, licensees or affiliates including Expedia and its affiliates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information which eLong has voluntarily disclosed to the public without restriction, or which is otherwise known to the public at large. 
 4. Rights in Work Product. 
 (a) I
agree that all Work Product (as hereinafter defined) will be the sole property of eLong. I agree that all Work Product that constitutes original works of authorship protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is
defined in the Copyright Law of P. R. China and the United States Copyright Act (without duplication), therefore, the property of eLong. I agree to waive, and hereby waive and irrevocably and exclusively assign to eLong, all right, title and
interest I may have in or to any other Work Product and, to the extent that such rights may not be waived or assigned, I agree not to assert such rights against eLong or its licensees (and sublicensees), successors or assigns. 
 (b) I agree to promptly disclose all Work Product to the appropriate individuals in eLong as such Work Product is created in accordance with the
requirements of my job and as directed by eLong. 
 (c) “Work Product” means any and all inventions, improvements, developments,
concepts, ideas, expressions, processes, prototypes, plans, drawings, designs, models, formulations, specifications, methods, techniques, shop-practices, discoveries, innovations, creations, technologies, formulas, algorithms, data, computer
databases, reports, laboratory notebooks, papers, writings, photographs, source and object codes, software programs, other works of authorship, and know-how and show-how, or parts thereof conceived, developed, or otherwise made by me alone or
jointly with others (i) during the period of my employment with eLong or (ii) during the six month period next succeeding the termination of my employment with eLong if the same in any way relates to the present or proposed products,
programs or services of eLong or to tasks assigned to me during the course of my employment, whether or not patentable or subject to copyright or trademark protection, whether or not reduced to tangible form or reduced to practice, whether or not
made during my regular working hours, and whether or not made on eLong premises.

 5. Employee’s Prior Obligations. I hereby certify I have no continuing obligation to any
previous employer or other person or entity which requires me not to disclose any information to eLong. 
 6. Employee’s Obligation
to Cooperate. At any time during my employment with eLong and thereafter upon the request of eLong, I will execute all documents and perform all lawful acts that eLong considers necessary or advisable to secure its rights hereunder and to carry
out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I agree to render to eLong or its nominee all reasonable assistance as may be required: 
 (a) In the prosecution or applications for letters patent, foreign and domestic, or re-issues, extensions and continuations thereof; 
 (b) In the prosecution or defense of interferences which may be declared involving any of said applications or patents; 
 (c) In any administrative proceeding or litigation in which eLong may be involved relating to any Work Product; and 
 (d) In the execution of documents and the taking of all other lawful acts which eLong considers necessary or advisable in creating and protecting its copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and other proprietary rights in any Work
Product. 
 The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by me in rendering such assistance at the request of eLong will be reimbursed by eLong. If I am no
longer an employee of eLong at the time I render such assistance, eLong will pay me a reasonable fee for my time. 
 7. Termination;
Return of eLong Property. Upon the termination of my employment with eLong for any reason, or at any time upon eLong request, I will return to eLong all Work Product and Confidential Information and notes, memoranda, records, customer lists,
proposals, business plans and other documents, computer software, materials, tools, equipment and other property in my possession or under my control, relating to any work done for eLong, or otherwise be longing to eLong, it being acknowledged that
all such items are the sole property of eLong. Further, before obtaining my final paycheck, I agree to sign a certificate stating the following: 
 “Termination Certificate 
 This is to certify that I do not have in my possession or custody, nor have I failed to return, any
Work Product (as defined in the Employee Non-competition, Non-solicitation, Confidential Information and Work Product Agreement between me and ELONGNET INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD (“eLong”)) or any notes, memoranda, records,
customer lists, proposals, business plans or other documents or any computer software, materials, tools, equipment or other property (or copies of any of the foregoing) belonging to eLong or any affiliate of eLong, including IACT Asia Pacific
