Jennifer Ceran

Dear Jennifer,

Coupons.com Incorporated (“Coupons.com” or the “Company”) is pleased and proud to extend to you an offer of employment with Coupons.com as our Chief Financial Officer.  This position will report directly to me with a dotted line reporting relationship to our President & Chief Operating Officer, Mir Aamir. The position is based in our Mountain View, CA office, and we look forward to your starting on or about August 31, 2015.  At Coupons.com, we know that people are our most important asset, and we are happy to offer you a comprehensive compensation package which includes the following:

	
 
	
·
	
A total annualized base salary of $360,000.00, paid on a semi-monthly basis, less all applicable withholding and deductions.  Currently, the Company’s salary payroll dates are the 15th and the last working day of each month. 

	
 
	
·
	
The opportunity to earn an annual, discretionary bonus of up to fifty percent (50%) of your base salary (less all applicable withholding and deductions). This bonus is based upon your successful completion of objectives, your overall performance and the Company’s overall performance to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The bonus will be prorated to your start date in your first year of employment. You must remain an employee of the Company through each bonus payment date in order to receive your bonus. 

	
 
	
·
	
A benefits package (subject to eligibility) which includes medical, dental, and vision coverage.  You may also be eligible to participate in Coupons.com’s 401(k) plan, which currently includes a company match of up to $6,000.00 annually.

No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continue vesting or employment.

Subject to the approval of Coupons.com’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, you will be granted an option to purchase 275,000 shares of Coupons.com’s common stock (“Option”).

Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Option vest on the one (1) year anniversary of your employment start date or other vesting commencement date, as determined by the Board of Directors (the “Vesting Commencement Date”), and one forty-eighth (1/48) of the shares subject to the Option shall vest each month thereafter on the same day of the month as the Vesting Commencement Date, as further described in the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement.

Subject to Board approval, you will be granted “Double Trigger” acceleration of vesting of one hundred percent (100%) of any unvested RSUs of the proposed RSU grant and one hundred percent (100%) of any unvested options of the proposed option grant in the event of a (X) Change of Control (as defined in the plan) and (Y) either a termination without cause (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) or termination for Good Reason (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) that occurs within the twelve (12) month period following or the three month period prior to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan).
