prospectus that are not recorded in our audited consolidated financial statements have been translated from RMB to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to RMB at a rate of RMB6.2848 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect as of September&nbsp;28,
2012. All amounts in this prospectus that are recorded in our audited consolidated financial statements have been translated from RMB to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to RMB at a rate of RMB6.2939 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect as
of December&nbsp;30, 2011. We make no representation that any RMB or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate, or at all. The PRC government imposes control over
its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of RMB into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. On October&nbsp;26, 2012, the noon buying rate was RMB6.2480 to US$1.00. </FONT></P>

such assumption is made as to Baidu regarding matters of the laws of the United States of America or the laws of the State of New York), (b)&nbsp;such opinion is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting creditors&#146; rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), (c)&nbsp;such opinion is subject to the effect of judicial
application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting creditors&#146; rights, and (d)&nbsp;insofar as any obligation under the Indenture and the Securities is required to be performed in any jurisdiction outside the United States of

(iii)&nbsp;the terms of all Securities will conform to the forms thereof contained in the Indenture and will not violate any applicable law, result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon or violate any requirement
or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over Baidu, (iv)&nbsp;the Indenture will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Baidu and the Trustee at the time of the issuance of the Securities and will conform
