 Section 4.3 Agreement on Exchange of Information. 

(a) Generally. Each of the Parties agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party, at any time, promptly after written
request therefor, all reports and other Information regularly provided by one Party to the other Party prior to the Public Filing Date and any Information in the possession or under the control of such Party to the extent reasonably requested by the
requesting Party (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party,
(ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements, (iii) to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement or any Inter-Company Agreement or (iv) at any time after the Public Filing Date to the extent such Information and cooperation are necessary to comply with such reporting, filing and disclosure obligations, for the preparation of
financial statements or completing an audit, and as reasonably necessary to conduct the ongoing businesses of CreditEase or Yirendai, as the case may be. Each of the Parties agrees to make their respective personnel available to discuss the
Information exchanged pursuant to this Section 4.3. In the event that any Party determines that any such provision of Information or other actions contemplated by this Section 4.3 could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or
agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege, the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 

  
 8 








 (b) Internal Accounting Controls; Financial Information. After the Public Filing Date,
(i) each Party shall maintain in effect at its own cost and expense adequate systems and controls for its business to the extent necessary to enable the other Party to satisfy its reporting, tax return, accounting, audit and other obligations,
and (ii) each Party shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party and its subsidiaries and VIE(s) in such form as such requesting Party shall request, at no charge to the requesting Party, all financial and other data and
Information as the requesting Party determines necessary or advisable in order to prepare its financial statements and reports or filings with any Governmental Authority. 

(c) Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by a Party that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Section 4.3
shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information. 

(d) Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Section 4.3 and other
provisions of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts for a period of ten years to retain all Information in its respective possession or control substantially in accordance with its respective record retention policies
and/or practices as in effect on the Public Filing Date, and for such longer period as may be required by any Governmental Authority, any litigation matter, any applicable law or any Inter-Company Agreement. However, at any time after such 10-year
period each Party may amend its respective record retention policies at such Party’s discretion; provided, however, that the amending Party must give thirty (30) days prior written notice of such change in the policy to the other
Party. No Party will destroy, or permit any of its subsidiaries or VIE(s) to destroy, any Information that exists on the Public Filing Date (other than Information that is permitted to be destroyed under the current respective record retention
policies of each Party) and that falls under the categories listed in Section 4.3(a), without first notifying the other Party of the proposed destruction and giving the other Party the opportunity to take possession or make copies of such
Information prior to such destruction. 
 (e) Limitation of Liability. Each Party will use its reasonable best
efforts to ensure that Information provided to the other Party hereunder is accurate and complete; provided, however, that no Party shall have any liability to the other Party if any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this
Section 4.3 is found to be inaccurate, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct by the Party providing the Information. No Party shall have any liability to the other Party if any Information is destroyed or lost
after the relevant Party has complied with the provisions of Section 4.3(d). 

  
 9 








 (f) Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations
granted under this Section 4.3 are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in this Agreement and any Inter-Company Agreement. 

(g) Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. For a period of five (5) years after the Control Ending Date, and except in the
case of a legal or other proceeding by one Party against the other Party, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees,
other personnel and agents of such Party as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such individual (giving consideration to business
demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceeding in which the requesting Party may from time
to time be involved, regardless of whether such legal, administrative or other proceeding is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith. 

Section 4.4 Auditors and Audits; Financial Statements; Accounting Matters. Each Party agrees that: 

(a) Selection of Auditors. 

(i) Until the first CreditEase fiscal year end occurring after the Control Ending Date, Yirendai shall use its
reasonable best efforts to engage the independent registered public accounting firm used by CreditEase (“CreditEase’s Auditors” and, for the avoidance of doubt, should CreditEase at any time change the independent
registered public accounting firm serving as its auditors, “CreditEase’s Auditors” shall thereafter mean the new firm serving as CreditEase’s auditors) to serve as its auditors
(“Yirendai’s Auditors”) for purposes of providing an opinion on its consolidated financial statements; provided, however, that Yirendai’s Auditors may be different from CreditEase’s Auditors if
necessary to comply with applicable laws regarding auditor independence and qualifications (provided, however, that Yirendai shall not take any actions, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its directors, officers and employees
not to take any actions, that could reasonably be expected to require Yirendai to engage auditors other than CreditEase’s Auditors). After the Public Filing Date, the foregoing shall not be construed so as to unlawfully limit any responsibility
of the audit committee of Yirendai’s board of directors, pursuant to SEC Rule 10A-3(b)(2) and rules of NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable, to appoint, compensate, retain and oversee the work of the registered public accounting
firm Yirendai engages.  
 (ii) Until the first CreditEase fiscal year end occurring after the Control Ending Date,
Yirendai shall provide to CreditEase as much prior notice as reasonably practical of any change in Yirendai’s Auditors for purposes of providing an opinion on its consolidated financial statements.

 13 








 Section 4.5 Confidentiality. Each of the Parties shall hold and shall cause each of
their respective subsidiaries and VIE(s) to hold, and shall each cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors and those of their respective subsidiaries and VIE(s) to hold, in strict confidence and not to disclose or

Information is made in connection with any judicial or administrative process, or a Party determines in good faith that disclosure is otherwise required by law, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of such request,
demand, or conclusion, and shall provide such other Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which the notifying Party will cooperate in obtaining. In the event that an appropriate protective order or

Information concerning one Party which, prior to, on or following the Public Filing Date, has been disclosed by such Party or its subsidiaries or VIE(s), that (1) is in written, recorded, graphical or other tangible form and is marked
“Proprietary,” “Confidential” or “Trade Secret,” or where it is evident from the nature and content of such Information that the disclosing Party considers it to be confidential, (2) is in oral form and identified
by the disclosing Party as “Proprietary”, “Confidential” or “Trade Secret” at the time of oral disclosure, including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 hereof or any other
provision of this Agreement or where it is evident from the nature and content of such Information that the disclosing Party considers it to be confidential, or (3) in the case of such Information disclosed on or prior to the date hereof,
either such Information is identified by the owning Party to the other relevant Party as Confidential Business Information or Confidential Technical Information, orally or in writing on or prior to the Public Filing Date, or it is evident from the
nature and content of such Information that the disclosing Party considers it to be confidential, and includes any modifications or derivatives prepared by the receiving Party that contain or are based upon any Confidential Information obtained from
the disclosing Party, including any analysis, reports, or summaries of the Confidential Information. Confidential Information may also include Information disclosed to a disclosing Party by third parties. Confidential Information shall not, however,
include any information which (A) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party; (B) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the
disclosing Party to the receiving Party through no action or inaction of the receiving Party; (C) is obtained by the receiving Party from a third party without a breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (D) is

disclosing Party to conform third party agreements to the terms of this Agreement except as expressly set forth therein. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) a Party and its subsidiaries and VIE(s) shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of
care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar Information and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between a Party or any of its subsidiaries or
VIE(s) and any employee of such Party or any of its subsidiaries or VIE(s) shall remain in full force and effect.

rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any or all privileges belonging to each such Party or its subsidiaries or VIE(s) including but not limited to the attorney-client and work product privileges (collectively,

subsidiaries and VIE; (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege between counsel for CreditEase (including in-house counsel) and any individual who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of CreditEase, regardless of whether such

any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party or its subsidiaries or VIE(s), such Party shall promptly notify that other
Party of the existence of the request and shall provide that other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights such other Party may have under this Section 4.6 or otherwise to prevent the production or
disclosure of Privileged Information. CreditEase or its subsidiaries or VIEs, or Yirendai or its subsidiaries and VIE, as the case may be, will not produce or disclose to any third party any of the other Party’s Privileged Information under
this Section 4.6 unless (a) such other Party has provided its express written consent to such production or disclosure or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered an order not subject to interlocutory appeal or review finding
that the Information is not entitled to protection from disclosure under any applicable privilege, doctrine or rule.

Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6, to maintain the confidentiality of such Information and to take the steps provided herein for the preservation of all Privileges that may belong to or be asserted by CreditEase, or Yirendai, as the case
may be. The access to Information, witnesses and individuals being granted pursuant to Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 and the disclosure to one Party of Privileged Information relating to the other Party’s businesses pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be asserted by CreditEase or Yirendai to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 4.6 or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to reduce,
minimize or condition the rights granted to, or the obligations imposed upon, CreditEase and Yirendai by this Section 4.6.

or their respective officers or directors) or CreditEase (or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs or any of its or their respective officers or directors) at any time after the date hereof initiates or becomes subject to any litigation or other
proceedings before any Governmental Authority or arbitration panel with respect to which the Parties have no prior agreements (as to indemnification or otherwise), the Party (and its subsidiaries and VIE(s) and its and their respective officers and
directors) that has not initiated and is not subject to such litigation or other proceedings shall comply, at the litigant Party’s expense, with any reasonable requests by the litigant Party for assistance in connection with such litigation or
other proceedings (including by way of provision of Information and making available of employees as witnesses). In the event that Yirendai (or any of its subsidiaries or VIE or any of its or their respective officers or directors) and CreditEase

Authority or arbitration panel with respect to which the litigant Parties have no prior agreements (as to indemnification or otherwise), each litigant Party (and its officers and directors) shall, at their own expense, coordinate their strategies
and actions with respect to such litigation or other proceedings to the extent such coordination would not be detrimental to their respective interests and shall comply, at the expense of the requesting Party, with any reasonable requests of such
Party for assistance in connection therewith (including by way of provision of information and making available of employees as witnesses). 

  
 17

or VIE in connection with the separation from CreditEase, if any, (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party as provided for in Section 7.5 hereof. The provisions of this Section 4.8 are not
intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute (a) an authorization by either CreditEase or Yirendai to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party for
service of process purposes or (b) a waiver of any Privilege with respect to Privileged Information contained in such mail, telegrams, packages or other communications.

its subsidiaries and VIEs, on the one hand, and Yirendai and its subsidiaries and VIE, on the other, may enter into other services agreements from time to time covering the provision of various services, if any, including financial, accounting,

Indemnitees hereunder, and any of the Yirendai Indemnitees subsequently diminishes the Liability on account of which such payment was made, either directly or through a third-party recovery (other than a recovery indirectly from Yirendai or its
subsidiaries or VIE), Yirendai will promptly repay (or will procure a Yirendai Indemnitee to promptly repay) CreditEase (or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs that has made the payment) the amount by which the payment made by CreditEase (or any its
subsidiaries or VIEs that has made the payment) exceeds the actual cost of the indemnified Liability. 
 Section 5.4 Procedures for
Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of the Third Party Claims. 
 (a) Notice of Claims. If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or
otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) other than CreditEase, Yirendai and their respective subsidiaries and VIE(s) of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a
“Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, CreditEase or Yirendai, as applicable, will ensure that such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice
thereof within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to
give notice as provided in this Section 5.4 shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 5, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and substantially prejudiced by such delay or
failure to give notice. 
 (b) Defense by Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense
of any Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, at its cost, risk and expense, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such proceeding and
the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be materially prejudicial to the Indemnitee’s defense. After timely notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee of such election to so assume the defense thereof,
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnitee agrees to cooperate in all
reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to compromise or settle any Third Party Claim as to which it is providing indemnification,
provided that any compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) Defense by Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty
(30) days after receipt of notice of such claim, the Indemnitee will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and
for the account of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations as set forth in this Section 5.4; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The
Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim. In no event shall
an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

  
 21 








 Section 5.5 Additional Matters. 

(a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Yirendai and CreditEase in a
material way due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities set forth in this Agreement or any of the Inter-Company Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint
defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated therewith. Any Party that is not responsible for managing
the defense of such Third Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, engage counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. 

(b) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with
any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitee’s Liability, as to
any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee
shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim. 

Section 5.6 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Article 5 shall survive the sale or
other transfer by any Party of any of its assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or the acquisition of control of such Party (by sale of capital stock or other equity interests, merger, consolidation or otherwise). 

ARTICLE 6 
 DISPUTE
RESOLUTION 
 Section 6.1 Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof
(“Dispute”) which arises between the Parties shall first be negotiated between appropriate senior executives of each Party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter. Such executives shall meet to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies, within ten (10) days of receipt by a Party of written notice of a Dispute, which date of receipt shall be referred to herein as the “Dispute Resolution
Commencement Date.” Discussions and correspondence relating to trying to resolve such Dispute shall be treated as Confidential Information and Privileged Information of each of CreditEase and Yirendai developed for the purpose of settlement
and shall be exempt from discovery or production and shall not be admissible in any subsequent proceeding between the Parties. 

  
 22 








 (b) If the senior executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within 60 days from the Dispute
Resolution Commencement Date, then, the Dispute will be submitted to the boards of directors of CreditEase and Yirendai. Representatives of each board of directors shall meet as soon as practicable to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution
of the Dispute. 
 (c) If the representatives of the two boards of directors are unable to resolve the Dispute within 120 days from the
Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, on the request of any Party, the Dispute will be mediated by a mediator appointed pursuant to the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. Both Parties will share the administrative costs of the
mediation and the mediator’s fees and expenses equally, and each Party shall bear all of its other costs and expenses related to the mediation, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, witness fees, and travel expenses. The mediation
shall take place in Beijing, China or in whatever alternative forum on which the Parties may agree. 
 (d) If the Parties cannot resolve any
Dispute through mediation within 45 days after the appointment of the mediator (or the earlier withdrawal thereof), each Party shall be entitled to submit the Dispute to Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre for arbitration in accordance with
the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time when the Dispute is submitted. There shall be three (3) arbitrators. The third and presiding arbitrator shall be qualified to practice law in New
York. The place or seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and
each Inter-Company Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.1 with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim. 

ARTICLE 7

Party has specifically authorized in writing to give such consent).

the Parties, evidenced by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 7.3, no Party shall have any liability of any kind to the other Party. This Agreement shall

Agreement, and (ii) the provisions of Section 4.5, Article 5, Article 6 and Article 7 shall survive indefinitely after the termination of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement shall not affect the

understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 Section 7.9
Severability. If any term of this Agreement is determined by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this

end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. 
 Section 7.10 Failure or Indulgence not

either Party hereto.

provision in any Inter-Company Agreement or any other agreement with respect to the respective subject matters thereof. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and any Inter-Company Agreement or other agreement executed in connection
