AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE TO GOOGLE SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Amendment Number Three (“Amendment Three”) is entered into as of September 1, 2011 (the “Amendment Three Effective Date”) by and between Google Inc. (“Google”) and Demand Media, Inc. (“Company”), and amends the Google Services Agreement between Google and Company with an effective date of June 1, 2010, as previously amended on August 19, 2010 and February 1, 2011 (the “Agreement”).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment Three have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Three Effective Date, the Agreement is amended as follows:

1. Term. The language under the heading, “TERM” on the first page of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following:

TERM: Starting on September 1, 2011 (“Effective Date”) and continuing through August 31, 2014 (inclusive) (“Initial Term”), provided, however, that Company may terminate this Agreement for its convenience upon at least 60 days written notice prior to the end of the two year anniversary of the Effective Date with such termination being effective upon the two year anniversary date of the Effective Date.
    
2. Exhibit B. Exhibit B of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the Exhibit B attached to this Amendment Three.

3. AFC Ad Revenue Calculation. The following is added to the Agreement as a new Section 9.2(c):

(c)    Solely for the purpose of determining which AFC Revenue Share Percentage in Exhibit B to apply for a given month, Ad Revenues under the Ad Reservations Service Agreement for that month will be counted towards the total of AFC Ad Revenues for that month. That resulting AFC Revenue Share Percentage will then be applied to actual AFC Net Ad Revenues only, and not to any Ad Revenues, for the purpose of calculating the payment amount under Section 9.2(a) of this Agreement. For example:

IF

June AFC Ad Revenues = $[****], and

June Ad Revenues = $[****]
THEN

the AFC Revenue Share Percentage for June = [****]% (the percentage applicable to the total of June AFC Ad Revenues and June Ad Revenues, i.e. $[****]), and

the payment due under Section 9.2(a) =
 ([****]) x ([****] x $[****]) = $[****]
