NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements set forth in the Rights Agreement, Prior Amendments and this Amendment, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  Amendment of Section 1(v). Section 1(v) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

(v) “Exempt Person” shall mean (i) the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company, in each case including in its fiduciary capacity, (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any entity or trustee holding shares of capital stock of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan, or for the purpose of funding other employee benefits for employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) The Priceline Group Inc. and any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) Baidu, Inc. and any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, with respect to clause (iii) above, such Exempt Person shall be considered an Exempt Person by reason of any such clause only to the extent that the number of Ordinary Shares Beneficially Owned by such Exempt Person (excluding the number of American Depositary Shares or Ordinary Shares of the Company that are beneficially owned by The Priceline Group Inc. and/or any of its Subsidiaries due to any such Person’s ownership or conversion of that certain note issued by the Company pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement dated December 9, 2015 between the Company and Priceline Group Treasury Company B.V.) at all times does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding in the aggregate; provided further, however, with respect to clause (iv) above, such Exempt Person shall be considered an Exempt Person by reason of any such clause only to the extent that the number of Ordinary Shares Beneficially Owned by such Exempt Person at all times does not exceed twenty-seven percent (27%) of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding in the aggregate. With respect to the Exempt Person in each of clauses (iii) and (iv) above, such Person shall remain an Exempt Person to the extent the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Person exceeds the applicable ownership cap as a result of a reduction in the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding due to the repurchase of Ordinary Shares by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any employee benefit plan) unless and until such Person, after becoming aware that such Person has exceeded the ownership cap set forth in clause (iii) or clause (iv), as applicable, acquires Beneficial Ownership of any additional Ordinary Shares.

SECTION 2.  Full Force and Effect.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the Rights Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof.

SECTION 3.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A.

The Company hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and consents that any service of process may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Company at its address last specified for notices hereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

SECTION 4.  Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  This Amendment shall be effective as of the date hereof.
