Re: Employment Terms

Dear Ofer,

Jive Software (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you the position of EVP Engineering on the following terms:

Your base compensation will be $27,083.33 per month, which is equal to $325,000 annually, less payroll deductions and all required withholdings. In addition, you are eligible for a bonus up to $162,500 (50%) per year. Your bonus will be paid according to the terms and conditions of our executive bonus plan pursuant to metrics established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. You will also receive a signing bonus of $50,000 less payroll deductions and all required withholdings, to be paid after your first 30 days of full time employment. In the event that you elect to voluntarily resign your position due to circumstances within your control within the first twelve (12) months of employment, you agree to repay the bonus amount on a pro-rated basis.

Subject to Board approval, you will be granted an option (the “Option”) to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the fair market value price as of the day of grant and will vest 1/48th of the grant monthly, commencing on the one-month anniversary of your start date. Also, subject to Board approval, you will be granted 350,000 restricted stock units. The grant of restricted stock units will vest quarterly over a four (4) year period. The Option and Restricted Stock Units will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan and standard form of stock option agreement, copies of which will be provided to you separately.

In addition to the terms of this letter, you will be provided the benefits set forth in the attached Change of Control and Retention Agreement.

All of your responsibilities and actions will at all times be subject to the appropriate approval of the CEO and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and you will be reporting directly to Elisa Steele, President. Unless you are required to travel on behalf of the Company, you will work at our Palo Alto office. The Company may, in its discretion, change your position, duties, and work location from time to time as it deems necessary, although all efforts will be made to consult with you first.

You will be paid semi-monthly and you will be eligible for the standard Company benefits, which currently includes the following: medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, FlexTime, 401(k), and paid holidays. The standard Company benefits offerings may, at the Company’s discretion, be changed from time to time. Details about the current benefit plans are available for your review.

This offer is contingent on the satisfactory completion of your reference and background check, including verification of any employment references you have provided and your legal entitlement to work in the United States. If the Company is unable to obtain such verification following reasonable efforts to do so, your employment will be terminated immediately.
