Exhibit 10.1

ZYNGA INC.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

AS AMENDED JULY 7, 2014 AND AUGUST 26, 2014

On January 18, 2012, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”)
of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Zynga Inc. (the “Company”) initially
approved the following compensation policy (as amended, the “Policy”) for
non-employee directors of the Company, effective retroactive to January 1, 2012,
and this policy is further amended as of the dates set forth above. For purposes
of this Policy, a “Non-Employee Director” is a director who is not serving as an
employee or executive officer of the Company or its affiliates (even if such
individual may be otherwise be providing services to the Company or its
affiliates in a capacity other than as a director).

Each Non-Employee Director will be eligible to receive compensatory equity
awards under the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as
consideration for service on the Board. All compensation payable under this
policy (such compensation, “Board Compensation”), including cash payments,
equity grants and/or deferred equity grants will be made automatically in
accordance with the terms of this Policy and the Plan, without the need for any
additional corporate action by the Board or the Compensation Committee. Vesting
of all equity awards granted under this Policy is subject to the Non-Employee
Director’s “Continuous Service” (as defined in the Plan) from the date of grant
through each applicable vesting date. Each equity award granted under this
Policy will be subject to the Company’s standard form of Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement, as most recently adopted by the Board for use under this Policy. Each
Non-Employee Director will be eligible to defer all or part of his or her Board
Compensation in accordance with the deferred compensation program described
below.

Base Annual Retainer. Each year, on the date of the regular annual meeting of
the Company’s stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), unless a Non-Employee
Director elects in writing prior to the Annual Meeting (a “Written Election”) to
either forego such compensation or defer such compensation pursuant to the
provisions hereof, the Company will automatically grant each continuing
Non-Employee Director who is re-elected at such meeting an annual retainer (the
“Base Annual Retainer”) with an aggregate value on the date of grant as set
forth in the table below, which shall be paid (i) 20% in cash and (ii) 80% in
restricted stock units of Class A Common Stock of the Company (“RSUs”). The RSUs
will vest as follows (the “Standard Vesting Criteria”): 25% will vest every
three months from the date of grant, with the last quarterly vesting installment
taking place upon the earlier of: (i) the day prior to the one-year anniversary
of such Annual Meeting or (ii) the date of the next Annual Meeting, subject to
continued service through each such date. The cash portion of the Base Annual
Retainer will vest and be paid on a quarterly basis in accordance with the
Standard Vesting Criteria.

Pro-Rated Base Annual Retainer for New Non-Employee Directors. If an individual
first becomes a Non-Employee Director other than at an Annual Meeting, the
Company will automatically grant such new Non-Employee Director, on the date
that he or she is first elected or appointed to the Board, a Base Annual
Retainer with an aggregate value on the date of grant equal to the pro rata
portion of the Base Annual Retainer, which pro rata portion reflects a reduction
for each month prior to the date of grant that has elapsed since the preceding
Annual Meeting (the “Pro-Rated Base Annual Retainer”). The Pro-Rated Base Annual
Retainer will be paid 20% in cash and 80% in RSUs. The vesting schedule for the
Pro-Rated Base Annual Retainer will be adjusted such that cash payments are made
and RSUs vest on the same dates as such payments would have been made or such
RSUs would have vested if the Non-Employee Director had received the Base Annual
Retainer on the date of the Annual Meeting.

Committee Chairperson Cash Retainers. Each year, on the date of the Annual
Meeting, unless a Non-Employee Director makes a Written Election to either
forego such compensation or defer such compensation pursuant to the provisions
hereof, the Company will automatically make a cash payment to the Chairperson of
the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and
Governance Committee in the amount set forth in the table below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Non-Executive Chairperson Cash Retainers. Each year, on the date of the Annual
Meeting, unless a Non-Employee Director makes a Written Election to either
forego such compensation or defer such compensation pursuant to the provisions
hereof, the Company will automatically make a cash payment to the Non-Executive
Chairperson of the Board in the amount set forth in the table below.

Product Committee. Each year on the date of the Annual Meeting, unless a
Non-Employee Director makes a Written Election to either forego such
compensation or defer such compensation pursuant to the provisions hereof, the
Company will automatically grant each Non-Employee Director who is re-elected at
such meeting and is a member of the Product Committee, a retainer comprised of,
at the prior written election of such Non-Employee Director that is a member of
the Product Committee, cash, RSUs or a combination of cash and RSUs with an
aggregate value equal to the amount set forth in the table below (each such
retainer, a “Product Committee Retainer”). The Product Committee Retainer,
whether comprised of cash, RSUs or a combination of cash and RSUs, will vest in
accordance with the Standard Vesting Criteria. If an individual who is not an
employee of the Company is appointed to the Product Committee on a date other
than at an Annual Meeting, the Company will automatically grant such new
Non-Employee Director that is a member of the Product Committee, on the date
that he or she is first elected or appointed to the Product Committee, a Product
Committee Retainer with an aggregate value equal to the amount set forth in the
table below; provided, however, that if such individual is appointed to the
Product Committee more than three (3) months after the date of the Annual
Meeting, such individual will be granted a pro-rated Product Committee Retainer,
which pro rata retainer reflects a reduction for each month prior to the date of
grant that has elapsed since the preceding Annual Meeting; provided that the
Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to adjust the amount of any
pro-rated grant up to the full value of the Product Committee Retainer if it
determines that such adjustment is in the best interest of the Company and its
stockholders.

(“DSUs”), which DSUs shall vest at a rate of 25% every three months from the

deferred until retirement of the Non-Employee Director.

Expense Reimbursement. All Non-Employee Directors will be entitled to
reimbursement from the Company for their reasonable travel (including airfare

service on the Board and which attendance is pre-approved by the Chair of the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or Chair of the Board. The Company
will make reimbursement to a Non-Employee Director within a reasonable amount of
time, but not more than 12 months, following submission by the Non-Employee
Director of reasonable written substantiation for the expenses consistent with
the Company’s reimbursement policy.
