TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

These Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award relates to the Notice
of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) attached hereto, by and
between Spark Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), and the person identified in the
Notice (the “Participant”).

The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized and approved the 2007
Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to approval by the Company’s
stockholders. The Committee has approved an award to the Participant of a number
of shares of the Company’s common stock, conditioned upon the Participant’s
acceptance of the provisions set forth in the Notice and these Terms and
Conditions within 60 days after the Notice and these Terms and Conditions are
presented to the Participant for review. For purposes of the Notice and these
Terms and Conditions, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to
any Subsidiary.

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) As of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice of Grant, the Company grants to
the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of
Grant (the “Units”), which represent shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The
Units are subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement,
these Terms and Conditions, the provisions of the Plan and the other provisions
contained in these Terms and Conditions.

(b) The Units granted under this Agreement shall be reflected in a bookkeeping
account maintained by the Company during the Restricted Period. If and when the
restrictions set forth in Section 2 expire in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to
the Units, such Units (and any related Dividend Units described in Section 1(c)
below) not forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be settled in cash or
shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 1(e) of this Agreement and
otherwise in accordance with the Plan.

(c) With respect to each Unit, whether or not vested, that has not been
forfeited (but only to the extent such award of Units has not been settled for
cash or Common Stock), the Company shall, with respect to any cash dividends
paid on the Common Stock, accrue and credit to the Participant’s bookkeeping
account a number of Units having a Fair Market Value as of the date such
dividend is paid equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid with
respect to such Unit if it were an outstanding share of Common Stock (the
“Dividend Units”). These Dividend Units thereafter shall (i) be treated as Units
for purposes of future dividend accruals pursuant to this Section 1(c); and
(ii) vest in such amounts (rounded to the nearest whole Unit) at the same time
as the Units with respect to which such Dividend Units were received. Any
dividends or distributions on Common Stock paid other than in cash shall accrue
in the Participant’s bookkeeping account and shall vest at the same time as the
Units in respect of which they are made (in each case in the same form, based on
the same record date and at the same time, as such dividend or other
distribution is paid on such Common Stock).

(d) The Company’s obligations under this Agreement (with respect to both the
Units and the Dividend Units, if any) shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no
special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets
shall be made. The rights of Participant under this Agreement shall be no
greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. In addition,
the Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Company may

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

deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which Common Stock
is then listed, any Company policy and any applicable federal or state
securities law.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, settlement of the Units in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 1(e) shall be delivered as soon
as practicable after the end of the Restricted Period, and upon the satisfaction
of all other applicable conditions as to the Units (including the payment by the
Participant of all applicable withholding taxes). The Units so payable to the
Participant shall be paid solely in shares of Common Stock, solely in cash based
on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the first
business day next following the last day of the Restricted Period), or in a
combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

2. Restrictions.

(a) The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by
virtue of any Unit unless and until such Unit vests and resulting shares of
Common Stock are issued to the Participant:

(b) None of the Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted Period, except as may be
permitted by the Plan or as otherwise permitted by the Committee in its sole
discretion or pursuant to rules adopted by the Committee in accordance with the
Plan.

(c) Any attempt to dispose of the Units or any interest in the Units in a manner
contrary to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be void and of no
effect.

3. Restricted Period and Vesting. The “Restricted Period” is the period
beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date the Units, or such applicable
portion of the Units, are deemed vested under the schedule set forth in the
Notice Subject to the provisions contained in Section 4, 5 and 6, the Units
shall be deemed vested and no longer subject to forfeiture under Paragraph 4
upon expiration of the Restricted Period, and the satisfaction of all other
applicable conditions as to the Units (including the payment by the Participant
of all applicable withholding taxes).

4. Forfeiture.

Subject to Section 6 hereof, if during the Restricted Period (i) the Participant
incurs a Termination of Service, (ii) there occurs a material breach of the
Notice or these Terms and Conditions by the Participant, or (iii) the
Participant fails to meet the tax withholding obligations described in
Section 5(b) hereof, all rights of the Participant to the Units that have not
vested in accordance with Section 3 as of the date of such event shall terminate
immediately and be forfeited in their entirety.

5. Withholding.

(a) The Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax
required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any income
recognized by the Participant with respect to the Units.

withheld with respect to such Award, (ii) by direct payment to the Company in
cash of the amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such
Award or (iii) by a combination of shares and cash.

6. Committee’s Discretion. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, the Committee shall have discretion under Section 7.02(b) of the
