reasonable best efforts to cause its directors, officers and employees not to take any actions, that could reasonably be expected to require Changyou to engage auditors other than Sohus Auditors). After the Live Filing Date, the foregoing

and quarterly financial statements.

Liability arises out of or results from, or in connection with, any action or inaction of Sohu or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs, including as a result of any misstatement or omission of any information by Sohu or its subsidiaries or VIEs to

subsidiary or VIE, as the case may be) exceeds the actual cost of the indemnified Liability.

4.4 Procedures for Defense,
Settlement and Indemnification of the Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If an Indemnitee shall receive
notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) other than Sohu, Changyou and their subsidiaries and VIEs of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a Third
Party Claim) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, Sohu and Changyou as applicable, will ensure that such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within thirty
(30) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as
provided in this Section shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and substantially prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.

(b) Defense by Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third
Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, at its cost, risk and expense, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Party seeking indemnification, unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such proceeding
and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be materially prejudicial to the Indemnified Partys defense. After timely notice from the Indemnifying Party



- 17 -



---

to the Indemnitee of such election to so assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Party seeking indemnification for any legal expenses of other counsel or any
other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnitee agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against any Third Party Claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to compromise or settle any Third Party Claim as to which it is providing indemnification, provided that any compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Defense by Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a
Third Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice of such claim, Indemnitee will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of
such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations as set forth in this Section; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent
of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or
settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim. In
no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4.5 Additional Matters.

(a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.
With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Changyou and Sohu in a material way due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities set forth in this Agreement or any of the
Inter-Company Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and
defense costs associated therewith. Any Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or
helpful, engage counsel to assist in the defense of such claims.

(b) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on
behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the
Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitees Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or
plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right,
defense or claim.

4.6 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Article IV shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any of its assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or the acquisition of control of such Party (by sale of capital stock or other equity interests, merger,
consolidation or otherwise).

ARTICLE V

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

5.1 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Inter-Company Agreements, or the breach,
termination or validity thereof (Dispute) which arises between the Parties shall first be negotiated between appropriate senior executives of each Party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter. Such executives shall meet to
attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies, within ten (10) days of receipt by a Party of written notice of a Dispute, which date of receipt shall be referred to herein as the
Dispute Resolution Commencement Date. Discussions and correspondence relating to trying to resolve such Dispute shall be treated as Confidential Information and Privileged Information of each of Sohu and Changyou developed for the
purpose of settlement and shall be exempt from discovery or production and shall not be admissible in any subsequent proceeding between the Parties.

(b) If the senior executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within 60 days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, then, the Dispute will be submitted to the boards of directors of Sohu and
Changyou. Representatives of each board of directors shall meet as soon as practicable to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute.

(c) If the representatives of the two boards of directors are unable to resolve the Dispute within 120 days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, on the request of any Party, the Dispute will be
mediated by a mediator appointed pursuant to the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. Both Parties will share the administrative costs of the mediation and the mediators fees and expenses equally, and each Party shall bear
all of its other costs and expenses related to the mediation, including but not limited to attorneys fees, witness fees, and travel expenses. The mediation shall take place in Beijing, China or in whatever alternative forum on which the
Parties may agree.

(d) If the Parties cannot resolve any Dispute through mediation within 45 days after the appointment of
the mediator (or the earlier withdrawal thereof), each Party shall be entitled to seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Inter-Company Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.1 with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim.
