Dear Connie,

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 Director of Legal Affairs. This position will report to Richard Hornstein, in the Mountain View, CA office, and we look forward to your starting on or about Tuesday, September 03, 2013. 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 $202,000, 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 20% 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. The bonus will be prorated to your start date in your first year of employment.

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 annually. The complete benefits package is outlined in the attached benefits summary.

Subject to the approval of Coupons.com’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, you will be granted restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to acquire 90,000 shares of Coupons.com’s Common Stock. The RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to awards granted under Coupons.com’s 2006 Stock Plan (“Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable award agreement. Vesting requires satisfaction of two requirements. First, the RSUs will vest twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares on the one (1) year anniversary of your employment start date or other vesting commencement date, as determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee (the “Vesting Commencement Date”), and twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares each year thereafter on the same day of the year as the Vesting Commencement Date, as further described in the Plan and the applicable award agreement. However, no RSUs will vest until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is the earlier of (x) six (6) months after the effective date of an initial public offering of the Company’s securities (“IPO”) or (y) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the IPO was declared effective; and (ii) the date of a Change in Control; (any of the foregoing (i) and (ii) being an “Initial Vesting Event”). At the time of the Initial Vesting Event, the RSU will be settled, that is shares will be delivered to you, calculated based on the number of years you were employed from the Vesting Commencement Date through the date of settlement even if you are no longer employed on the date of settlement, as further described in the Plan and the applicable award agreement. After the Initial Vesting Event, you will continue to vest as set forth above as long as you remain employed by Coupons.com.

We also do have conditions of employment (many legally mandated), a few of which we need to highlight for you in this letter. In order to go forward as an employee of Coupons.com, you will need to understand and agree to the following:
