 ARTICLE V. 

Rights of Secured Party 

Section 5.1 Repurchase of Pledge Shares. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Pledgor hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right on behalf of the Pledgor and in its own name to repurchase from the Pledgor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, upon receipt
by the Secured Party of the request of the Lender and without notice to or the consent of Pledgor, such number of the Pledged Shares (the “Repurchased Shares”) as is equal to the quotient of (i) the total amount of the then
outstanding balance (including all unpaid principal and accrued interest thereon) of the Loan which is then due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender (such total amount, the “Default Loan Amount”), divided by (ii) the
Repurchase Price. The “Repurchase Price” means the lesser of (x) one-half of the numerical average of the closing prices of one Changyou ADS on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the 30 trading days preceding the date of the
execution of this Agreement, or (y) one-half of the numerical average of the closing prices of one Changyou ADS on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the 30 trading days preceding the date of such Event of Default. The aggregate Repurchase
Price for the Repurchased Shares shall be made by the Secured Party to the Pledgor by way of the Secured Party causing the Lender to cancel in full the Default Loan Amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender. In connection with such repurchase of the
Repurchased Shares, the Pledgor and the Secured Party hereby acknowledge and agree that the Secured Party will have the right, without any further action of the Pledgor, to update the register of members of the Secured Party to reflect such
repurchase. For the purpose of calculating the number of the Repurchased Shares under this Section 5.1, the RMB to U.S. dollar exchange rate published as the “parity rate” by the People’s Bank of China that is in effect at
the close of the date of such Event of Default shall be used. For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Party has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from the Pledgor the Repurchased Shares under this Section 5.1. 

Section 5.2 Performance by the Secured Party. If the Pledgor fails to perform any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement, the Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of the Pledgor, in which case the Secured Party shall exercise good faith and make diligent efforts
to give the Pledgor prompt prior written notice of such performance or attempted performance. In such event, the Pledgor shall, at the request of the Secured Party, promptly pay any reasonable amount expended by the Secured Party in connection with
such performance or attempted performance to the Secured Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the Secured Party shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance (or nonperformance) of any obligation of
the Pledgor under this Agreement.
