	(2)	GameNow.net (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Hong
Kong”) with its registered office situate at 22nd Floor, Hang Lung Centre, 2-20 Paterson Street, Causeway

 THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE as follows :- 

 

	1.	THE LOAN 

 The Lender hereby agrees, at the
request of the Borrower, to advance to the Borrower a sum of United States Dollars Four Million and Six Hundred Thousand (US$4,600,000) (the “Loan”) subject to the satisfaction of the condition precedent set out in Clause 3.1. The

Four Million (US$4,000,000) may be drawn by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 3 below. 
  

	2.	PURPOSE OF THE LOAN 

 The Loan shall only be
used by the Borrower to repay the outstanding indebtedness that it owes to Interactive Visual Laboratory Pte. Ltd. and in no event shall the Loan be applied to repay any indebtedness owing by the Borrower to its shareholders, directors or officers,
or parties related to any of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan will be allowed to use for other purposes with the Lender’s written approval. 
  

	3.	DRAWDOWN 

  

	3.1	The obligations of the Lender to advance the Loan to the Borrower shall be subject to the condition precedent that a share purchase agreement whereby the Borrower shall sell
5,796,845 ordinary shares of China The9 Interactive Limited (“C9I”) (which represent 14.9% of the issued share capital of C9I) to the Lender at the total consideration of US$745,000 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”)
shall have been signed between the Lender and the Borrower. 

  

	3.2	The Borrower may draw the remaining part of the Loan in the sum of United States Dollars Four Million (US$4,000,000) at any time within the next thirty (30) days from the date
of this Agreement by serving on the Lender two (2) days’ prior notice in writing 

 and the Lender shall advance the said sum of United States Dollars Four Million to the Borrower in such
manner as requested by the Borrower which the Lender may consider acceptable at its absolute discretion. 
  

	4.	INTEREST 

  

	4.1	The Borrower shall pay interest to the Lender on the amount of the Loan at the rate of 5% per annum (“Interest Rate”) commencing from the date of drawdown to
the Repayment Date (as defined in Clause 5 below) (both days inclusive). 

  

	4.2	So far as any part of the Loan remains outstanding, interest shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender on 31st January every year (collectively “Interest Payment Days” and each an “Interest Payment Day”). If an Interest
Payment Day does not fall on a business day (namely, a day on which the licensed banks in Hong Kong are generally open for banking business, excluding Saturdays), then the relevant interest shall be payable on the next business day.

  

	4.3	Without prejudice to the other rights and remedies of the Lender herein, if the Borrower fails to pay any sum (whether principal, interest or default interest) on its due date(s)
for payment under this Agreement, it shall pay default interest to the Lender (in addition to the interest under Clause 4.1) on the overdue sum for the period commencing on its due date and ending on the date of its actual receipt by the Lender
(both before and after judgement, if any) at 5% per annum above the Interest Rate. 

  

	4.4	Interest and default interest shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. 

  

	5.	REPAYMENT 

  

	5.1	Without prejudice to the overriding right of the Lender to demand immediate repayment of the Loan and the Borrower’s repayment obligations resulting therefrom in accordance
with Clause 6 but subject to Clause 8, the Borrower shall immediately repay to the Lender the Loan in full together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon upon the written request of the Lender (the “Repayment Date”).

  

	5.2	Subject to the obligation of paying interest on the Interest Payment Days pursuant to Clause 4, the Borrower shall not without the prior written consent of the Lender repay the Loan
or any part thereof to the Lender prior to the Repayment Date. 

  

	6.	TERMINATION OF THE LOAN 

 Notwithstanding any
provision contained in this Agreement or any other document to the contrary, the Lender reserves the overriding right to demand immediate repayment of the Loan together with any unpaid interest accrued thereon upon occurrence of any Event of Default
(as defined in Clause 7 below). Upon the Lender issuing a written notice of demand to the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 6 aforesaid, the Loan together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon shall become immediately due and payable without
