5. To secure the interests of Party A, Party B agrees to continue to pledge all of her equity interest in Zhongguan as security for the repayment of such loan, the terms of which are set out in the Equity Pledge Contract.

6. After this Contact becomes effective, if one party violates this Contract, the other party shall have the right to discharge it and request the defaulting party to make compensation for any loss arising therefrom.

7. After the termination or discharge of this Contract, Party B shall return the loan to Party A within five working days. In the event of any late return, Party B shall pay to Party A any interest accrued thereon at a loan interest rate stipulated by banks for the corresponding period.
