hereby conferred in this Clause 2.10

LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (“this Agreement”) is entered into by the following two parties in Shenzhen as
of December 3, 2010:

Party A: Ying Si Kang Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.

Address: Rom 2108-2110-35, Jiahe Huaqiang Building, Shennan Road, Futian District, Shenzhen

Party B: Chunlin Wang

ID Card No.: 430625196905225317

WHEREAS:

	1.	 	Party A is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise duly incorporated under the laws of the People’s
Republic of China (the “PRC”);

	2.	 	Party B is a Chinese citizen and holds 95% equity interest of Shenzhen  Xinbao Investment Management  Co.,
Ltd. (“ Shenzhen  Xinbao”);

	3.	 	Party B desires to borrow a loan from Party A by pledging its equity interest in Shenzhen Xinbao, and Party A agrees to extend a loan of Twenty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Renminbi
(RMB28,500) to Party B.

NOW THEREFORE, after friendly negotiations, both parties hereby agree as follows for mutual
observance:

	1.	 	In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Party A agrees to grant an
interest-free loan of Twenty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Renminbi (RMB28,500) to Party B, and
Party B agrees to accept such loan.

	2.	 	The term of the loan under this Agreement shall start from the date when the loan is
withdrawn until ten (10) years after signing this Agreement, and may be extended subject to
the mutual agreement between both parties. During the loan term or any extension thereof,
Party A shall have the right, by giving written notice to Party B, to decide that the loan
under this Agreement is due immediately and request Party B to repay the loan in the manner as
specified herein if Party B has any of the following circumstances:

	 	2.1	 	Party B resigns from or is dismissed by Party A or any of its affiliates;

	 
	 	2.2	 	Party B dies or loses its civil capacity or its capacity for civil conduct is restricted;

	 
	 	2.3	 	Party B commits a crime or is involved in a crime;

 

 

 

	 	2.4	 	Any other third party claims more than One Hundred Thousand Renminbi (RMB100,000)
against Party B; or

	 	2.5	 	Party A has given to Party B a written notice regarding the purchase of Party B’s
equity interest in Shenzhen  Xinbao according to the provisions of the “Exclusive
Purchase Option Agreement” as set forth in Article 3 hereof to exercise its call option.

	3.	 	Both parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, subject to the permission of and to the
extent permitted by the PRC laws, Party A shall be entitled but not obliged to, at any time,
purchase, or designate other person (including natural person, legal person or any other
entity), to purchase all or part of the equity interest held by Party B in Shenzhen  Xinbao (the “Call Option”), provided, however, that Party A gives a written notice about equity
purchase to Party B. Once such written notice about exercising the Call Option is given by
Party A, Party B shall, according to Party A’s intention and instructions, transfer its equity
interest in Shenzhen  Xinbao to Party A or other person designated by Party A at its original
investment price (the “Original Investment Price”) or if otherwise specified by laws, at an
other price agreed upon by Party A. Both parties hereby agree and acknowledge that when Party
A exercises the Call Option, if the lowest equity price permitted by the applicable laws and
regulations then in effect is higher than the Original Investment Price, the purchase price
for Party A or its designee shall be the lowest price permitted by laws. Both parties agree to
execute the “Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement” with respect thereto.

	4.	 	Both parties hereby agree and acknowledge that Party B shall repay the loan in the manner as
given below only: when the loan is due, Party B (or any of its successors, heirs or assignees)
shall, at Party A’s written request, transfer its equity interest in Shenzhen  Xinbao to
Party A or its designee subject to the permission of the PRC laws, and shall use the proceeds
from such equity transfer to repay the loan under this Agreement.

	5.	 	Both parties hereby agree and acknowledge that except as otherwise provided for herein, the
loan under this Agreement is interest-free. But when the loan is due and Party B needs to
transfer its equity interest hereunder to Party A or its designee, if the actual equity
transfer price is higher than Party B’s loan principal due to legal requirements or other
reasons, the excess shall be deemed as loan interest or fund utilization costs to the extent
permitted by laws, and shall paid to Party A together with loan principal.

	6.	 	Both parties hereby agree and acknowledge that Party B’s obligations under this Agreement are
deemed to be fully performed only if all the following conditions are met:

	 	6.1	 	Party B has transferred all its equity interest in Shenzhen  Xinbao to Party A
and/or its designee; and

	 	6.2	 	Party B has paid to Party A as loan repayment all proceeds from equity transfer or
the maximum amount permitted by laws (including principal and the highest loan interest
permitted by applicable laws then in force).

 

2

 

	7.	 	To secure the performance of the debts under this Agreement, Party B agrees to pledge all its
equity interest in Shenzhen  Xinbao to Party A (the “Equity Pledge”). Both parties agree to
execute an “Equity Pledge Agreement” with respect thereto.

performance by Party A of this Agreement comply with its business scope, articles of
association or other organizational documents, and Party A has obtained all necessary and

this Agreement;

	 	8.3	 	The execution and performance of this Agreement by Party A do not violate any laws,
regulations, government approvals, authorizations, notices or other government documents
binding upon or influencing it, any agreement signed by it with any third party or any
undertaking made by it to any third party; and

	 	8.4	 	Once executed, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
Party A, enforceable against Party A in accordance with its provisions.

	9.	 	From the execution date of this Agreement until the termination hereof, Party B hereby
represents and warrants to Party A that:

under the PRC laws, whose registered capital has been paid up and which has obtained
