applicable law. 
 (c) Life and Disability Insurance. The Company will provide term life and disability insurance payable to the
Employee, in each case in an amount up to a maximum of one times the Employee’s base salary in effect from time to time, provided however, that such amount will be reduced by the amount of any life insurance or death or disability benefit

 5. Certain
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Employee. 
 (a) Related Company Positions. The Employee agrees that the Employee
and members of the Employee’s immediate family will not have any financial interest directly or indirectly (including through any entity in which the Employee or any member of the Employee’s immediate family has a position or financial
interest) in any transactions with the Company or any subsidiaries or affiliates (including the Company’s variable interest entities) thereof unless all such transactions, prior to being entered into, have been disclosed to the Board of
Directors and approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors and comply with all other Company policies and applicable law as may be in effect from time to time. The Employee also agrees that he will inform the Board of

immediate family members have a financial interest. 

  
 -2- 








 (b) Discounts, Rebates or Commissions. Unless expressly permitted by written policies and
procedures of the Company in effect from time to time that may be applicable to the Employee, neither the Employee nor any immediate family member will be entitled to receive or obtain directly or indirectly any discount, rebate or commission in
respect of any sale or purchase of goods or services effected or other business transacted (whether or not by the Employee) by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (including the Company’s variable interest
entities), and if the Employee or any immediate family member (or any firm or company in which the Employee or any immediate family member is interested) obtains any such discount, rebate or commission, the Employee will pay to the Company an amount
equal to the amount so received (or the proportionate amount received by any such firm or company to the extent of the Employee’s or family member’s interest therein). 

6. Term; Termination. 
 (a)
Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the date hereof and end on December 31, 2020. 

(b) Voluntary Termination by the Employee. The Employee may voluntarily Terminate this Agreement by providing the Company with ninety
(90) days’ advance written notice (“Voluntary Termination”), in which case the Employee will not be entitled to receive payment of any severance benefits or other amounts by reason of the Termination other than accrued salary and
vacation through the date of the Termination. The Employee’s right to all other benefits will terminate as of the date of Termination, other than any continuation required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if, in connection
with a Change in Control, the surviving entity or successor to the Company’s business offers the Employee employment on substantially equivalent terms to those set forth in this Agreement and such offer is not accepted by the Employee, the
refusal by the Employee to accept such offer and the subsequent termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company will be deemed to be a voluntary termination of employment by the Employee and will not be treated as a termination by the
Company without Cause. 
 (c) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may Terminate this Agreement for Cause by written
notice to the Employee, effective immediately upon the delivery of such notice. In such case, the Employee will not be entitled to receive payment of any severance benefits or other amounts by reason of the Termination other than accrued salary and
vacation through the date of the Termination. The Employee’s right to all other benefits will terminate, other than any continuation required by applicable law. 

  
 -3- 








 (d) Termination by the Employee with Good Reason or Termination by the Company without
Cause. The Employee may Terminate this Agreement for Good Reason, and the Company may Terminate this Agreement without Cause, in either case upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice by the party Terminating this Agreement to the
other party and the Termination will be effective as of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If the Employee Terminates with Good Reason or the Company Terminates without Cause, the Employee will be entitled to continue to receive
payment of severance benefits equal to the Employee’s monthly base salary in effect on the date of Termination for the shorter of (i) six (6) months and (ii) the remainder of the Term of this Agreement (the “Severance
Period”), provided that the Employee complies with the Employee Obligations Agreement during the Severance Period and executes a release agreement in the form requested by the Company at the time of such Termination that releases the Company
from any and all claims arising from or related to the employment relationship and/or such Termination. Such payments will be made ratably over the Severance Period according to the Company’s standard payroll schedule. The Employee will also
receive payment of a bonus for the remainder of the year of the Termination, but only to the extent that a bonus would have been earned had the Employee continued in employment through the end of such year, as determined in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee based on the specific corporate and individual performance targets established for such fiscal year, and only to the extent that bonuses are paid for such fiscal year to other similarly
situated employees. Health insurance benefits with the same coverage (i.e., medical, dental, optical and/or mental health coverage) provided to the Employee prior to the Termination and in all other material respects comparable to those in place
immediately prior to the Termination will be provided at the Company’s expense during the Severance Period. The Company will also continue to carry the Employee on its Directors and Officers insurance policy for six (6) years following the
Date of Termination at the Company’s expense with respect to insurable events which occurred during the Employee’s term as a director or officer of the Company, with such coverage being at least comparable to that in effect immediately
prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) such terms, conditions and exceptions will not be, in the aggregate, materially less favorable to the Employee than those in effect on the Termination Date and (ii) if the
aggregate annual premiums for such insurance at any time during such period exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance, then the Company will provide the maximum coverage that
will then be available at an annual premium equal to two hundred percent (200%) of such rate. 
 (e) Termination by Reason of Death or
Disability. A Termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of death or Disability will not be deemed to be a Termination by the Company (for or without Cause) or by the Employee (for or without Good Reason). In the event that the
Employee’s employment with the Company Terminates as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability, the Employee or the Employee’s estate or representative, as applicable, will receive all accrued salary and accrued vacation as of
the date of the Employee’s death or Disability and any other benefits payable under the Company’s then existing benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect on the date of death or Disability and in
accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Employee or the Employee’s estate or representative, as applicable, will receive a bonus for the year in which the death or Disability occurs to the extent that a bonus would have been earned had
the Employee continued in employment through the end of such year, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee based on the specific corporate and individual performance targets established for such
fiscal year, and only to the extent that bonuses are paid for such fiscal year to other similarly situated employees. 

  
 -4- 








 (f) Misconduct After Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Employee after the termination of his employment violates or fails to fully comply with the Employee Obligations Agreement, thereafter (i) the Employee will not be entitled to any payments from the Company, (ii) any insurance or other
benefits that have continued will terminate immediately, (iii) the Employee must promptly reimburse to the Company all amounts that have been paid to the Employee pursuant to this Section 6; and (iv) if the Employee would not, in the
absence of such violation or failure to comply, have been entitled to severance payments from the Company equal to at least six (6) months’ base salary, the Employee must pay to the Company an amount equal to the difference between six
(6) months’ base salary and the amount of severance pay measured by base salary reimbursed to the Company by the Employee pursuant to clause (iii) of this sentence. 

7. Employee Obligations Agreement. By signing this Agreement, the Employee hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company the
Employee Obligations Agreement, and such execution and delivery will be a condition to the Employee’s entitlement to his or her rights under this Agreement. 

8. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard
to the conflicts of law principles thereof. 
 9. Dispute Resolution.

settled by arbitration to be held in the Hong Kong S.A.R. under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force when a Notice of Arbitration with respect thereto is submitted
in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The award rendered in such an arbitration proceeding will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. 

(b) The number of arbitrators will be three, one of whom will be appointed by the party asserting a claim against the other party or parties,
one of whom will be appointed by the party or parties (acting together), as the case may be, against whom a claim has been asserted, and the third of whom will be selected by mutual agreement, if possible, within thirty days after the selection of
the second arbitrator. 
 (c) The language of the arbitration will be Mandarin Chinese and any foreign language documents presented at such
arbitration will be accompanied by a Mandarin Chinese translation thereof, prepared at the expense of the party seeking to present such document. 

(d) Any award of the arbitrators (i) will be in writing, (ii) will state the reasons upon which such award is based and
(iii) may include an award of costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. 

  
 -5- 








 (e) The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive damages or any other damages not
measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may apply to any court having jurisdiction over the parties to obtain injunctive relief in order
to maintain the status quo until such time as an arbitration award is rendered or the dispute, controversy or claim is otherwise resolved.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEE NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION,

 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND WORK PRODUCT AGREEMENT 

In consideration of my employment and the compensation paid to me by Changyou.com Limited, a Cayman Island company, or a subsidiary or variable interest
entity thereof (Changyou.com Limited or any such subsidiary or variable interest entity referred to herein individually and collectively as “Changyou”), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, I agree as follows: 
 1. Non-Competition. During the term of my
employment agreement with Changyou.com Limited and continuing after the termination of such employment agreement for the longer of (i) one year after the termination of such employment agreement for any reason and (ii) such period of time
as Changyou is paying to me any severance benefits (the “Noncompete Period”), I will not, on my own behalf, or as owner, manager, stockholder (other than as stockholder of less than 2% of the outstanding stock of a company that is publicly
traded or listed on a stock exchange), consultant, director, officer or employee of or in any other manner connected with any business entity, participate or be involved in any Competitor without the prior written authorization of Changyou.
“Competitor” means any business of the type and character of business in which Changyou engages or proposes to engage and may include, without limitation, an individual, company, enterprise, partnership enterprise, government office,
committee, social organization or other organization that, in any event, produces, distributes or provides the same or substantially similar kind of product or service as Changyou. On the date of this Employee
Non-competition, Non-solicitation, Confidential Information and Work Product Agreement (this “Agreement”), “Competitors” of Changyou include all
competitors listed in Changyou’s annual reports on Form 20-F filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

2. Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompete Period, I will not, either for my own account or for the account of any other person:
(i) solicit, induce, attempt to hire, or hire any employee or contractor of Changyou or any other person who may have been employed or engaged by Changyou during the term of my employment with Changyou unless that person has not worked with
Changyou within the six months following my last day of employment with Changyou; (ii) solicit business or relationship in competition with Changyou from any of Changyou’s customers, suppliers or partners or any other entity with which
Changyou does business; (iii) assist in such hiring or solicitation by any other person or business entity or encourage any such employee to terminate his or her employment with Changyou; or (iv) encourage any such customer, supplier or
partner or any other entity to terminate its relationship with Changyou. 
 3. Confidential Information. 

(a) While employed by Changyou and indefinitely thereafter, I will not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) other than pursuant to my employment by and for the benefit of Changyou, or disclose any such Confidential Information to anyone outside of Changyou or to anyone within Changyou who has not been authorized to receive such
information, except as directed in writing by an authorized representative of Changyou. 

  
 -13- 








 (b) “Confidential Information” means all trade secrets, proprietary information, and
other data and information, in any form, belonging to Changyou or any of their respective clients, customers, consultants, licensees or affiliates that is held in confidence by Changyou. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to
computer software, the structure of Changyou’s online game development platform, business plans and arrangements, customer lists, marketing materials, financial information, research, and any other information identified or treated as
confidential by Changyou or any of their respective clients, customer, consultants, licensees or affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information which Changyou has voluntarily disclosed to the public
without restriction, or which is otherwise known to the public at large. 
 4. Rights in Work Product. 

(a) I agree that all Work Product (as hereinafter defined) will be the sole property of Changyou. I agree that all Work Product that
constitutes original works of authorship protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act and, therefore, the property of Changyou. I agree to waive, and hereby waive and
irrevocably and exclusively assign to Changyou, all right, title and interest I may have in or to any other Work Product and, to the extent that such rights may not be waived or assigned, I agree not to assert such rights against Changyou or its
licensees (and sublicensees), successors or assigns. 
 (b) I agree to promptly disclose all Work Product to the appropriate individuals in
Changyou as such Work Product is created in accordance with the requirements of my job and as directed by Changyou. 
 (c) “Work
Product” means any and all inventions, improvements, developments, concepts, ideas, expressions, processes, prototypes, plans, drawings, designs, models, formulations, specifications, methods, techniques, shop-practices, discoveries,

(ii) during the six month period next succeeding the termination of my employment with Changyou if the same in any way relates to the present or proposed products, programs or services of Changyou or to tasks assigned to me during the course of
my employment, whether or not patentable or subject to copyright or trademark protection, whether or not reduced to tangible form or reduced to practice, whether or not made during my regular working hours, and whether or not made on Changyou
premises. 
 5. Employee’s Prior Obligations. I hereby certify I have no continuing obligation to any previous employer or other
person or entity which requires me not to disclose any information to Changyou. 

  
 -14- 








 6. Employee’s Obligation to Cooperate. At any time during my employment with Changyou
and thereafter upon the request of Changyou, I will execute all documents and perform all lawful acts that Changyou considers necessary or advisable to secure its rights hereunder and to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, I agree to render to Changyou or its nominee all reasonable assistance as may be required: 
  

	 	(a)	In the prosecution or applications for letters patent, foreign and domestic, or re-issues, extensions and continuations thereof; 


 

	 	(b)	In the prosecution or defense of interferences which may be declared involving any of said applications or patents; 

  

	 	(c)	In any administrative proceeding or litigation in which Changyou may be involved relating to any Work Product; and 

  

	 	(d)	In the execution of documents and the taking of all other lawful acts which Changyou considers necessary or advisable in creating and protecting its copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and other proprietary
rights in any Work Product. 

 The reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by me in rendering such assistance at the request of Changyou will be reimbursed by Changyou. If I am no longer an employee of Changyou at the time I render such assistance, Changyou will pay me a reasonable fee for my time. 

7. Termination; Return of Changyou Property. Upon the termination of my employment with Changyou for any reason, or at any time upon
Changyou’s request, I will return to Changyou all Work Product and Confidential Information and notes, memoranda, records, customer lists, proposals, business plans and other documents, computer software, materials, tools, equipment and other
property in my possession or under my control, relating to any work done for Changyou, or otherwise belonging to Changyou, it being acknowledged that all such items are the sole property of Changyou. Further, before obtaining my final paycheck, I
agree to sign a certificate stating the following: 
 “Termination Certificate 

This is to certify that I do not have in my possession or custody, nor have I failed to return, any Work Product (as defined in the Employee Non-competition, Non-solicitation, Confidential Information and Work Product Agreement between Changyou.com Limited (“Changyou”) and me) or any notes, memoranda,
records, customer lists, proposals, business plans or other documents or any computer software, materials, tools, equipment or other property (or copies of any of the foregoing) belonging to Changyou.” 

8. General Provisions. 

(a) This Agreement contains the entire agreement between me and Changyou with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof, 

  
 -15- 








 whether written or oral; provided however, that this Agreement will not supersede the Employee Obligations
Agreement between Changyou and me in effect prior to the date hereof (the “Prior Employee Obligations Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect with respect to, or arising in connection with, all matters within the subject
matter thereof through the date immediately prior to the date hereof; provided further, however, that in the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of the Prior Employee Obligations
Agreement, the provision of this Agreement will prevail. This Agreement may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by Changyou and me. 

(b) This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of
law principles thereof. At the option of the party initiating the claim, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be settled by arbitration to be held in the Hong Kong S.A.R. under the Hong Kong
International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force when a Notice of Arbitration with respect thereto is submitted in accordance with the Arbitration Rule. The award rendered in such an
arbitration proceeding will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. The number of arbitrators will be three, one of whom will be appointed by the party asserting a
claim against the other party or parties, one of whom will be appointed by the party or parties (acting together), as the case may be, against whom a claim has been asserted, and the third of whom will be selected by mutual agreement, if possible,
within thirty days after the selection of the second arbitrator. The language of the arbitration will be Mandarin Chinese and any foreign language documents presented at such arbitration will be accompanied by a Mandarin Chinese translation thereof,
prepared at the expense of the party seeking to present such document. Any award of the arbitrators (i) will be in writing, (ii) will state the reasons upon which such award is based and (iii) may include an award of costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding
or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may apply to any court having jurisdiction over the parties to obtain injunctive relief in order to maintain the status quo until
such time as an arbitration award may be rendered or the dispute, controversy or claim may be otherwise resolved. 
 (c) In the event that
any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time, over too large a geographic area, or over too great a range of activities, it will be
interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area or range of activities as to which it may be enforceable. 
 (d)
If, after application of paragraph (c) above, any provision of this Agreement will be determined to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby. Any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement will be severed, and after any such severance, all other provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. 

  
 -16- 








 (e) Changyou and I agree that either of us may waive or fail to enforce violations of any part of
this Agreement without waiving the right in the future to insist on strict compliance with all or parts of this Agreement. 
 (f) My
obligations under this Agreement will survive the termination of my employment with Changyou regardless of the manner of or reasons for such termination, and regardless of whether such termination constitutes a breach of any other agreement I may
have with Changyou. My obligations under this Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors and administrators, and the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Changyou. 

(g) I agree and acknowledge that the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement are of a unique and special nature and necessary to
ensure the preservation, protection and continuity of Changyou’s business, employees, Confidential Information, and intellectual property rights. Accordingly, Changyou is without an adequate legal remedy in the event of my violation of any of
the covenants set forth in this Agreement. I agree, therefore, that, in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or in equity or otherwise, that may be available to Changyou, each of the covenants made by me under this Agreement will be
enforceable by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without any requirement that Changyou post a bond or that Changyou prove any damages.
