2009 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

LivePerson, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the person named below (the “Participant”) Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms, definitions and provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “RSU Agreement”) and the LivePerson, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference, as follows:

Participant Name _______________________

Grant Date _______________________

Number of Restricted Stock Units _______________________

Unless otherwise defined in this RSU Agreement, the terms used in this RSU Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this RSU Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

For purposes of this RSU Agreement, “Company” or “LivePerson” shall include LivePerson, Inc. and any other affiliated entity to which the Participant provides services provided such entity’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, or advisors are generally eligible to receive Restricted Stock Unit Awards under the Plan.

1.Vesting Schedule. 25% of the total Number of Restricted Stock Units will vest on the one (1) year anniversary of the Grant Date and 6.25% of the total Number of Restricted Stock Units will vest on each three (3) month anniversary thereafter, provided that Participant’s continuous service relationship with the Company continues through each such applicable vesting date.

Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this RSU Agreement unless Participant has continuously and actively remained at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor to the Company (an “Eligible Participant”). For purposes of this RSU Agreement and participation in the Plan, termination as an Eligible Participant will be deemed to be as of the date that Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate and will not be extended by any notice period or “garden leave” that may be required contractually or under applicable law unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board (or any delegate) shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant is no longer employed or providing services for purposes of this Award and participation in the Plan.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a share of the Company’s Common Stock (“Share”) on or after the Restricted Stock Unit vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in Section 1 above, Participant will have no right to payment of any Shares. Prior to actual payment of any Shares, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company. Within one (1) month following the date Restricted Stock Units vest, such Restricted Stock Units will be automatically settled and paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax, withholding or other obligations as set forth in Section 5 below.

3. Forfeiture upon Termination as an Eligible Participant. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this RSU Agreement, in the event of Participant’s termination as an Eligible Participant for any or no reason, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will immediately cease and the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of such termination and do not vest as a result of such termination will be immediately forfeited without consideration. The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant’s termination as an Eligible Participant occurs. Further, notwithstanding anything stated herein or the Plan, if this Award is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Reorganization Event, this Award shall terminate in its entirety immediately following such Reorganization Event.

4. Inappropriate Activity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if at any time Participant violates the non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, this Award shall terminate in its entirety immediately upon such violation.

5. Leave of Absence. Except for any unpaid leave that is required by, or approved pursuant to, any statute, regulation or applicable law and except as otherwise required by applicable law, regulation or rule, the vesting schedule in effect under Section 1 above shall be frozen as of the first day of any unpaid authorized leave, and the Restricted Stock Units shall not become vested for any additional installments during the period Participant remains on such unpaid leave. For any paid authorized leave, or any unpaid leave that is required by, or approved pursuant to, any statute, regulation or applicable law or where vesting is otherwise required by applicable law, regulation or rule, the vesting schedule in effect under Section 1 above shall continue during the period Participant remains on such leave. For the avoidance of doubt, any unpaid vacation will not be treated as any type of leave for purposes of this RSU Agreement.

6. Tax Obligations. As a condition to the grant, vesting, and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax‑related items or required deductions or payments legally applicable to him or her and related to the receipt, vesting or settlement of (or otherwise in relation to) the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance or subsequent sale of the Shares allocated to the Restricted Stock Units, or the participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that Participant is solely responsible for filing all relevant documentation that may be required in relation

-2-

to the Restricted Stock Units or any Tax-Related Items (other than filings or documentation that is the specific obligation of the Company or any affiliate thereof pursuant to applicable laws, regulations or rules), such as, but not limited to, personal income tax returns or reporting statements in relation to the receipt, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of the Shares allocated to the Restricted Stock Units, the holding of Shares or any bank or brokerage account, the subsequent sale of Shares, and the receipt of any dividends.

Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the receipt, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance or subsequent sale of the Shares allocated to the Restricted Stock Units and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Participant also understands that applicable law, regulations or rules s may require varying Restricted Stock Unit or Share valuation methods for purposes of calculating Tax-Related Items, and the Company assumes no responsibility or liability in relation to any such valuation or for any calculation or reporting of income or Tax-Related Items that may be required of Participant under applicable laws, regulations or rules.

Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their tax and/or withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) withholding from Participant’s wages or other compensation paid to Participant by the Company or the Employer, (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent, (iii) withholding Shares that would otherwise be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or (iv) such other method as determined by the Company or the Employer to be in compliance with applicable laws, regulations or rules.

Depending on the method of satisfying the tax and/or withholding obligations with regard to the Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable tax or withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a

-3-

refund of any over-withheld or over-paid amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent.

7. Rights as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares subject to this Award (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a holder of capital stock shall exist with respect to this Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 8 below and Section 9 of the Plan.

8. Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise set forth in the Country-Specific Addendum (as defined below), if the Company declares a dividend on its Common Stock, Participant will be entitled to receive a Dividend Equivalent payment equal to (i) the amount of such dividend declared and paid with respect to one share of Common Stock, multiplied by (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this RSU Agreement, if any, that are outstanding on the applicable dividend record date with respect to such dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents will not be credited with interest. Unless otherwise set forth in the Country-Specific Addendum, Dividend Equivalents with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock Units subject to this RSU Agreement shall be paid in the same form that dividends are paid on the Shares and shall be paid on the date on which the Company issues the Shares underlying such Restricted Stock Units in accordance with this Award Agreement. The Board may prospectively change the method of crediting Dividend Equivalents as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate from time to time provided that such change does not have a material adverse tax effect on Participant.

9. No Guarantee of Continued Service or Grants. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE EMPLOYER) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS RSU AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE EMPLOYER) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE (SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS).

Participant also acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future awards of Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) Participant’s participation in the Plan is

-4-

voluntary; (e) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that do not constitute regular compensation for services rendered to the Company or the Employer, and that are outside the scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any; (f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer.

10. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying this Award. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

12. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The designation of a beneficiary does not constitute a transfer.

13. Binding Agreement.

14. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of this Award or the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the grant of this Award or the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate), such grant or issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the grant of this Award or the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer the grant of this Award or the delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the grant of this Award or the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority. The Company shall not be obligated to treat this Award as outstanding or issue any Shares pursuant to this Award at any time if the grant of this Award or the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Award
