          This Prepaid Card Program Agreement is made as of the 20th day of October, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 000 X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Wal-Mart Stores Texas L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Wal-Mart Louisiana, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Wal-Mart Stores East, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, and Wal-Mart Stores East, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of Delaware, each of which have its principal place of business at 000 X.X.

Each of the foregoing parties is sometimes referred to herein as a “Party,” and collectively they are referred to as the “Parties.” Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix I.
RECITALS
          WHEREAS, Retailer wishes to offer a reloadable prepaid card product in its Participating Stores;
          WHEREAS, Bank is in the business of providing financial products and services, including debit cards, prepaid cards and payroll cards, to individuals for personal, family or household purposes throughout the United States;
          WHEREAS, Bank desires to provide instant issue, non-reloadable, non-personalized, prepaid cards to Retailer’s customers, which cards are intended be replaced by personalized, reloadable, prepaid cards issued by Bank;
          WHEREAS, Green Dot is a licensed money transmitter and operates the GD Network in which consumers can make loads to prepaid cards and other transfers to payees that participate in the GD Network;
          WHEREAS, Bank participates in the GD Network as an issuer of prepaid cards that can be loaded through POS Loads and Reload Pack Sales in the GD Network;
          WHEREAS, Retailer desires to participate in the GD Network by accepting funds in POS Loads and selling Reload Packs in transactions involving Cardholders as well as other Persons making fund transfers in this GD Network; and
          WHEREAS, Bank and Retailer desire to set forth the terms on which Bank will issue, service and accept loads on prepaid cards offered at Retailer’s Participating Stores, as set forth herein; and
          WHEREAS, Green Dot and Retailer desire to set forth the terms on which Retailer will participate in the GD Network in transactions involving Cardholders and other Persons making fund transfers in the GD Network, as set forth herein.

 

 

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following terms and conditions, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD PROGRAM
1.1 Description of the Prepaid Cards.
          In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Bank will issue prepaid cards which bear the “Wal-Mart” name and certain trademark(s) of the Network Provider(s) to individuals for personal, family or household purposes (the “Prepaid Cards”). The Prepaid Cards also will contain the XX Xxxxx, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, to indicate that the Prepaid Cards may be loaded in the GD Network. Bank may modify the features and capabilities of the Prepaid Cards from time to time with the prior written approval of Retailer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
1.2 Temporary and Permanent Prepaid Cards.
          Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Retailer will distribute Prepaid Cards at its Participating Stores, which Prepaid Cards (i) will not bear the name of a Cardholder, and (ii) may be loaded at Retailer’s POS Locations for the amount(s) agreed upon from time to time by the Parties (the “Temporary Prepaid Cards”). Temporary Prepaid Cards may not be reloaded, but may otherwise possess such features and capabilities as Bank may determine from time to time in writing, subject to Retailer’s prior written approval. Individuals who purchase Temporary Prepaid Cards will be instructed to provide Bank with information necessary to satisfy the Activation Criteria needed to activate the Temporary Prepaid Cards and to obtain reloadable Prepaid Cards that replace the Temporary Prepaid Cards and that are embossed with the Cardholders’ names (“Permanent Prepaid Cards”). Cardholders with Permanent Prepaid Cards may reload funds to such Prepaid Cards as set forth in this Agreement.
1.3 Retailer Customer Identification Function.
          Bank, as agent for Retailer, will assign a Retailer Customer Number to each Cardholder and will print this number on the reverse side of the Permanent Prepaid Card. Subject to Applicable Law, Bank, as agent for Retailer in connection with the Retailer Customer Number, shall collect and transmit (not less than once each month) to Retailer each Retailer Customer Number assigned hereunder, together with the associated Cardholder’s name, address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address (the Retailer Customer Number together with the Cardholder’s name, address, telephone numbers and e-mail address, the “Retailer Customer Information”). Retailer and Bank shall use reasonable efforts adopt a process by which a Retailer customer may authorize the collection and transmittal of Retailer Customer Information contemplated by this Section 1.3; provided that such process shall be adopted prior to the expansion (if any) of the Program beyond Phase I. Retailer understands that the Retailer Customer Number assigned by Bank will be associated with a given Permanent Prepaid Card and may not be the same Retailer Customer Number the Cardholder would be assigned in conjunction with any other relationship the Cardholder may have with either Retailer or Bank.

 

 

Bank will work with Retailer in good faith to assist Retailer in integrating Retailer’s envisioned customer registration program into the materials for the Program. Bank shall not issue the same Retailer Customer Number more than once.
1.4 The Road to Credit.
          (a) Bank and Retailer acknowledge that one of the goals of the Program is to educate Retailer Customers and other Persons regarding management of personal finances, and to [***] and other [***] not have [***] to [***].
          (b) To the extent information on purchase patterns, xxxx payments and paycheck data is available under the Program, Bank agrees to work in good faith to analyze such information with respect to individual Prepaid Card performance in order to establish, to the extent practicable, a “[***]” by which a Cardholder may qualify for the Consumer Credit Card Program.
          (c) In the event that Bank and Retailer mutually agree on a [***] from a [***], the Parties will mutually determine [***] that will [***] in [***] and at [***] for each [***] who [***] any [***].
1.5 Card Program Administration.
          (a) Program Materials. Bank, at its expense, shall be responsible for providing all Prepaid Cards, Prepaid Card Terms, Prepaid Card statements, adverse action letters, change of terms notices, and all other documents and communications necessary for the issuance, loading in connection with Direct Deposit Loads and servicing of the Prepaid Cards, as applicable. The initial design of the Temporary Prepaid Card and the Permanent Prepaid Card, and any modifications thereto, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Retailer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As between the Parties, Retailer shall own all proprietary rights, including copyrights and trademarks relating to: (i) Retailer provided artwork or designs for the Prepaid Card or related packaging, (ii) the “stars” design as it appears on the Prepaid Card or related packaging, (iii) the terms “Value Plan” and “Preferred Plan” as used in connection with a Card Product, and (iv) the marketing copy on the packaging for the Prepaid Card taken as a whole; provided, however, that (A) Retailer’s right to such marketing copy is limited to use of such marketing copy in its entirety in substantially the same design as appears on the marketing copy for the Prepaid Card, and (B) Retailer shall not have any rights to trademarks or tradenames of Bank or Green Dot.
          (b) Other General Responsibilities of Bank. Bank, at its expense, will issue Prepaid Cards to individuals, accept loads to Prepaid Cards as provided in this Agreement and the Prepaid Card Terms, and allow Cardholders to use Prepaid Cards for purchase and cash withdrawal transactions in the systems of the Network Providers. Bank will make available good funds to the Cardholder or Cardholder’s payees as and when Cardholders may unload such funds in accordance with the Prepaid Card Terms and the applicable rules and regulations of the

Network Providers. Bank will establish the criteria, in its sole discretion after providing notice to Retailer, for activating Temporary Prepaid Cards and for approving and activating Permanent Prepaid Cards (the “Activation Criteria”). Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing, Bank shall be responsible for (i) providing all services in connection with the Card Program, including, without limitation, authorization services for Prepaid Card Transactions, but excluding services that Retailer or Green Dot expressly agree in this Agreement to perform in connection with the Program (e.g., in connection with the initial issuance of Temporary Prepaid Cards or loading Prepaid Cards in the Load Program) (“Card Services”), and (ii) all fraud loss, and settlement of funds, associated with use of a Prepaid Card (provided that the foregoing shall not relieve Retailer of any obligations under the Acquirer Agreement under which it accepts Prepaid Cards issued by Bank or Article III). Retailer agrees that Bank may provide some or all of the Card Services through a third party servicer or a Bank Affiliate; provided, however, that (x) Bank shall obtain Retailer’s consent to any such third party servicer or Bank Affiliate, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (y) notwithstanding such consent, Bank will remain fully responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement, and will be responsible for any breach by any third party servicer of Bank’s obligation to provide Card Services. Retailer hereby consents to Green Dot performing Card Services on behalf of Bank. Bank shall obtain Retailer’s consent to any material change in the scope of Card Services provided by Green Dot.
          (c) Operating Procedures for Card Program.
     (i) Retailer and Bank shall follow all Operating Procedures for the Card Program, including procedures for initial issuance of Prepaid Cards. The Operating Procedures for the Card Program are attached hereto as Schedule 1.5 (c).
     (ii) Bank shall have the right to amend or modify the Operating Procedures for the Card Program from time to time [***]. Bank shall be entitled to amend or modify such Operating Procedures [***] (which [***] may be [***] of the amendment or modification) [***] and without the consent of, Retailer [***], the [***] of a [***] or the [***] of a [***] as determined by Bank in its reasonable business judgment, [***].
     (iii) In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Operating Procedures for the Card Program, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
          (d) Prepaid Card Terms.
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

     (i) As of the date hereof, the Prepaid Card Terms, including the fees and charges imposed on Cardholders by Bank (“Prepaid Card Fees”), are as set forth in Schedule 1.5(d) and have been determined by Bank [***]. Bank may modify, amend or supplement any or all of the Prepaid Card Terms, [***]. Bank may [***] provided that Bank will eliminate [***].
     (ii) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict Bank’s ability to modify and/or supplement the Prepaid Card Terms [***], and, Bank may proceed with the modification, amendment or supplement without the consent of Retailer; [***].
     (iii) In addition to the Prepaid Card Terms listed in Schedule 1.5(d), Bank reserves the right to assess additional Prepaid Card Fees, with the written consent of Retailer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for additional Prepaid Card services provided by Bank and approved by Retailer after the date hereof (e.g., picture identification services). Bank also reserves the right to restrict use of the Prepaid Cards at certain merchant classification categories that Bank reasonably determines are not consistent with the Program, such as Internet gambling web-sites.
          (e) Offshore Servicing.
     (i) Except as described in Section 1.5(e)(ii), Bank shall not outsource any Card Services that involve direct customer contact to an entity that is located, or that performs such services at a facility located, outside of the United States, without the prior written approval of Retailer. For avoidance of doubt, any breach by an outsource vendor of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a breach by Bank as if Bank performed the outsourced services itself, and be subject to all provisions of this Agreement applicable to such breach, including the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 14.2 (Termination).
     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5(e), Retailer acknowledges and approves the use by Bank and its outsource vendors of facilities in [***] and in [***] for providing Card Services involving direct customer contact; provided, that (i) neither Bank nor its outsource vendors shall store any personally identifiable information collected in the Program outside of the United States
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

without Retailer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) all Nonpublic Personal Information which is transmitted outside of the United States pursuant to this Section 1.5(e) shall be subject to the same data protection and security standards that Bank imposes on third parties in the United States with respect to Bank’s customer information.
     (iii) Retailer reserves the right to revoke its consent to outsourcing Card Services to a location outside of the United States if the outsource vendor violates Applicable Law. Bank shall have not less than one-hundred and eighty days’ notice to replace an outsource vendor if Retailer revokes its consent pursuant to this Section 1.5(e)(iii).
1.6 Ownership of Cards and Card Documentation.
          Subject to Section 14.4 (Retailer’s Purchase Option), Bank shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all Prepaid Cards (and funds loaded thereto) and Prepaid Card Documentation, except for Retailer Customer Information. If a Cardholder uses a Prepaid Card to purchase goods or services or obtain cash and there are not sufficient funds on the Card to pay for the transaction, Bank shall be entitled to receive all payments by the Cardholder for such transaction.
1.7 Ownership of Sales Documentation.
          Retailer shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all sales receipts, register receipt tapes, and other invoices or documentation evidencing a Cardholder debit transaction, and any adjustments thereto, at any Store, to the extent originated by Retailer in the ordinary course of its business.
1.8 Operation of Terminals.
          Retailer shall maintain and operate the Terminals according to the same standards with which they are operated on the Effective Date; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to require Retailer to replace or modify any Terminals outside of Retailer’s ordinary course of business.
1.9 Promotional Materials.
          Each Party shall submit to the other Parties for review and approval any and all advertising, collateral, promotions and marketing programs, documents or materials with respect to the Program, including, without limitation materials sent to Cardholders in relation to the Load Program (collectively, “Promotional Materials”) at least five (5) Business Days in advance of public dissemination, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a Party fails to notify the other Parties of its decision with respect to proposed Promotional Materials within such five-day period, the Parties seeking approval shall escalate the request to appropriate personnel at the Party from whom a decision is sought until a response is received. A Party may not publicly disseminate Promotional Materials that have not been approved by the other Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Green Dot shall not be required to obtain any such approvals

 

 

with respect to any Promotional Materials which are (i) not sent to any Cardholder; (ii) not related to Retailer, or (iii) are more particularly described in Section 4.2(b).
1.10 Network Providers.
          As of the Effective Date, [***] and [***] shall be [***]. Upon at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice by Retailer to the other Parties, but in any event no sooner than February 1, 2007, Retailer may request Bank to issue Prepaid Cards with [***] and/or [***] as a [***] issued by Bank, and Bank agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to issue Prepaid Cards with such Network Providers; provided, however, that such expansion of the Card Program to include any additional Network Provider is expressly conditioned on the Retailer providing comparable retail space in Participating Stores for Prepaid Cards involving such additional Network Provider as Retailer then provides for Prepaid Cards involving the existing Network Provider or Providers. Bank agrees to convert outstanding Prepaid Cards to a new Network Provider upon written request of Retailer if such conversion is required because Retailer ceases to accept Prepaid Cards issued in the existing Network Provider’s system; provided, however, that Retailer shall pay all costs and expenses in converting the Prepaid Cards from the existing Network Provider to the new Network Provider, including the costs and expenses of re-issuing the Prepaid Cards and of replacing marketing, packaging and collateral materials, and any amounts payable by Bank to the existing Network Provider.
1.11 Appointment of Retailer as [***].
          Retailer shall serve as the [***] of [***] at Participating Stores solely for the limited purposes of marketing and distributing Temporary Prepaid Cards and collecting fees from Cardholders on behalf of Bank in Participating Stores, as described more particularly in the Appointment Agreement attached as Schedule 1.11. Bank shall take commercially reasonable actions, and shall execute such documents, as may be necessary to register such appointment, and/or to confirm exemption from licensing requirements, with state regulatory authorities, in accordance with this Section 1.11. If [***] desires Bank to take any such action, [***] shall submit a written request to Bank indicating the obligations of Bank with respect thereto, and Bank’s obligation to take any such action shall be conditioned on [***] and Bank mutually agreeing on [***] reimbursement of [***] for its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and Bank’s determination that it is not being requested to undertake material obligations or liabilities with respect to such actions (or that [***] has provided Bank with adequate protections with respect thereto).
1.12 Intentionally Omitted.
1.13 Phases of Card Program.
          (a) The Parties agree that the Program shall commence with a first phase (“Phase I”) which will involve offering the Program at Participating Stores in the Phase I Territory and on launch dates, all as mutually agreed by the Parties. The number of Participating Stores involved in Phase I, the manner in which such Participating Stores will be selected by the Parties and the timing on which the Program will be offered in such Participating Stores is
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

described on Schedule 1.13. If one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date, the Program meets the Minimum Requirements, then, subject to Section 1.13(c), the Program shall be expanded to all of Retailer’s Stores in accordance with an expansion plan reasonably acceptable to the Parties.
          (b) If one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date, the Program does not meet the Minimum Requirements, then, the Parties shall meet to determine in good faith the manner in which the Program will be modified, including whether the Program will be expanded to additional Participating Stores in additional phases of the Program (“Additional Phases”); provided, that (i) nothing in the Agreement shall obligate a Party to expand the Program in an Additional Phase without its prior written consent if the Minimum Requirements are not met, and (ii) if the Parties are unable to agree to the manner in which the Program will be modified within thirty (30) days after any one Party first requests in writing that the Parties negotiate, then, any Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other Parties. Each party shall bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with any such termination; provided, however, that in the event the Program did not meet the Minimum Requirements as a result of Retailer’s material failure to execute the Program during Phase I as required by this Agreement, the Parties shall share equally all start up expenses and capital expenditures related to the Program, not to exceed $[***].
          (c) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of Section 1.13(d), Retailer shall have the right to not begin to offer the Program with respect to Stores located in a jurisdiction if either (i) Retailer fails to obtain the appointments, licenses, permits and/or exemptions it reasonably deems necessary to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Stores located in such jurisdiction after undertaking commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such appointments, licenses, permits and/or exemptions, or (ii) Retailer determines on the advice of counsel that the Program as then currently provided under this Agreement is reasonably likely to violate Applicable Law if offered in such jurisdiction.
          (d) Retailer shall give the other Parties notice if Retailer intends to exercise its right under Section 1.13(c) to not begin to offer the Program with respect to Stores located in a jurisdiction, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith for not less than sixty (60) days to adopt changes to the Program or this Agreement to address the compliance issues raised by Retailer. If the negotiations fail to resolve the issue to the commercially reasonable satisfaction of the Parties, and if Retailer exercises its right under Section 1.13(c) to not being to offer the Program in a jurisdiction, then (i) the exclusivity provisions in Section 11.7(a) shall not apply to Stores located in such jurisdictions, but (ii) Retailer shall provide to Bank at all times during the Term of this Agreement the right of first refusal in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.7(f) with respect to Stores located in such jurisdictions if Retailer determines to begin to offer a Card Product in such Stores with another provider.
          (e) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, once Retailer begins to offer the Program in a jurisdiction, Retailer shall have the right to cease offering the Program with respect to Stores located in such jurisdiction if Retailer determines on the advice of counsel that the Program as then currently offered in such jurisdiction pursuant to this
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

Agreement is reasonably likely to violate Applicable Law if continued in such jurisdiction. Retailer shall give the other Parties written notice if Retailer intends to exercise its right under Section 1.13(e) to cease offering the Program with respect to Stores located in a jurisdiction, and the Parties shall, within 24 hours, meet to discuss how to address such Applicable Law and shall determine whether to terminate or suspend the Program within all affected Participating Stores. If the Parties decide to suspend or terminate the Program, Retailer shall effectuate such suspension or termination within 24 hours of such decision, and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume the Program at the affected Participating Stores within sixty (60) days following the suspension or termination. If the Parties are unable to resume the Program during this sixty (60) day period, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the Parties shall meet to determine in good faith the manner in which the Program will be modified at the affected Participating Stores, while minimizing the risk of the actual or potential violation of Applicable Law that gave rise to the suspension or termination; provided, that (i) nothing in the Agreement shall obligate a Party to agree to the resumption of the Program at affected Participating Stores without its prior written consent, and (ii) if the Parties are unable to agree to the manner in which the Program will be so modified within sixty (60) days after anyone Party first requests in writing that the Parties negotiate, then, each Party shall have the right to terminate the Program as to the Participating Stores affected by the Applicable Law, in which case such Stores shall no longer by Participating Stores, by providing at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other Parties.

TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT PREPAID CARDS
2.1 Temporary Prepaid Cards.
          Each individual who wants a Prepaid Card must first purchase a Temporary Prepaid Card at a Participating Store, and then request the Bank to activate the Temporary Prepaid Card and issue a Permanent Prepaid Card by providing Bank with information required by Bank to verify whether the individual satisfies the Activation Criteria. Temporary Prepaid Cards (i) may be used after activation until the later of issuance, if at all, of a Permanent Prepaid Card, or use of all funds initially loaded on the Temporary Prepaid Card, (ii) may be used only in the United States, (iii) will have a minimum initial load amount of $20.00, (iv) for loads in connection with Retailer’s cashing of payroll checks and loads that are not in connection with such check cashing transactions, will have maximum initial load amounts as provided in the Prepaid Card Terms, (v) will have a daily Purchase limit as provided in the Prepaid Card Terms, and (vi) will not be reloadable. Retailer shall offer and provide each Temporary Prepaid Card to a Cardholder in packaging provided by Bank that contains applicable contract terms and disclosures for the Prepaid Card.
2.2 Activation and Issuance of Permanent Prepaid Cards.
          (a) Bank shall decide whether to activate, suspend or terminate any Prepaid Card based on the Activation Criteria. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with respect to each individual who purchases a Temporary Prepaid Card and who is a resident of the United States or Puerto Rico and otherwise meets the Activation Criteria, Bank will issue a Permanent Prepaid Card, activate such individual’s Permanent Prepaid Card, and deactivate

 

 

such applicant’s Temporary Prepaid Card. Bank will deliver Permanent Prepaid Cards to approved Cardholders by mail or as otherwise agreed by the Parties. Upon issuance and activation of a Permanent Prepaid Card, any balance on the Cardholder’s Temporary Prepaid Card will be transferred automatically to the Permanent Prepaid Card and use of the Temporary Prepaid Card will be discontinued. Bank reserves the right to issue a Permanent Prepaid Card with a different Prepaid Card number than the Temporary Prepaid Card.
          (b) In order to mitigate fraud exposure or for risk management purposes or as necessary to comply with the requirements the Network Provider or Applicable Law, Bank, at its option and sole expense, (i) may reissue Permanent Prepaid Cards to some or all Cardholders every eighteen (18) to thirty-six (36) months, in accordance with industry standards, or (ii) may reissue Permanent Prepaid Cards to any Cardholder; provided, however, that no Cardholder shall be assessed any fees in connection with any re-issuance not initiated by the Cardholder pursuant to this subsection.
          (c) Unless otherwise expressly permitted by Bank, Permanent Prepaid Cards (i) will have a balance limits as provided in the Prepaid Card Terms (the “Balance Limit”), (ii) may be used internationally, (iii) will have a minimum initial load amount of $20.00, (iv) will have a maximum daily load amount as provided in the Prepaid Card Terms, (v) will have a daily cash withdrawal limit as provided in the Prepaid Card Terms, and (vi) will be reloadable. Bank and Retailer shall follow the Operating Procedures for the Card Program designed to ensure that the Balance Limit is not exceeded due to load transactions.
2.3 Types of Transactions and Loads.
          (a) Prepaid Cards maybe used in purchase and cash withdrawal transactions at merchants (including Retailer) and ATMs participating in the systems of the Network Providers in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Cardholder Agreements, the requirements of the Network Providers and this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Bank and Retailer acknowledge that Bank will support “cash back” transactions at Participating Stores only to the extent that such transactions presented to Bank through a “Network Provider,” are permitted under the applicable requirements of the Network Provider and do not exceed the transaction amount limits or otherwise violate the provisions of the Cardholder Agreements.
          (b) Retailer will provide for balance inquiries on Prepaid Cards at Terminals, other than those located in Lease Departments, as set forth in the Operating Procedures.
          (c) As more specifically described in the Agreement, Prepaid Cards may be loaded in the following ways: (i) POS Load of Temporary Prepaid Cards at Participating Stores of Retailer (Section 4.4); (ii) POS Load of Permanent Prepaid Cards at certain GD Merchants, including at Participating Stores (Section 4.4); (iii) Purchase of Reload Packs from GD Merchants, including at Participating Stores (Section 2.5) and subsequent transfer of funds by direction from Cardholder to Green Dot, and (iv) Direct Deposit Loads of Cardholder funds (Section 2.6(a)). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the methods of loading a Prepaid Card shall not be changed without the prior written agreement of the Parties.

 

 

2.4 Suspension or Termination of Prepaid Cards.
          (a) Bank, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate any Prepaid Card based on: (i) a failure by a Cardholder to continue to meet the Activation Criteria, (ii) suspicious activity or fraud with respect to the Prepaid Card or by the Cardholder; or (iii) a negative balance on the Prepaid Card.
          (b) Upon suspension or termination of a Permanent Prepaid Card by Bank for any reason and subject to Applicable Law or Network Providers’ rules, Bank shall permit the Cardholder to continue to use the Permanent Prepaid Card as a customer identification card; provided, however, that if Bank has terminated the Permanent Prepaid Card, Bank shall not be required to replace the Permanent Prepaid Card after the expiration date of the Prepaid Card, or provide any services in connection with that Permanent Prepaid Card; and provided, further, that Bank shall not continue to provide PIN verification and other services related to the Retailer Customer Number unless the parties mutually agree in writing. If a Network Provider prohibits Bank from allowing Cardholders to continue to use the Permanent Prepaid Card as a customer identification card after suspension or termination of the Prepaid Card for use in purchase or cash withdrawal transactions, Bank and Retailer will use their best efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable solution with the Network Provider to allow continued use of the Permanent Prepaid Card as a customer identification card. If Bank and Retailer are unable to negotiate such a solution with the Network Provider, Bank will work in good faith to assist Retailer in reissuing customer identification cards at [***] expense.
2.5 Reload Packs and POS Loads in GD Network.
          Bank and Green Dot shall maintain an arrangement under which Bank shall participate in the GD Network as an issuer of prepaid cards and Temporary Prepaid Cards are loaded and Permanent Prepaid Cards are reloaded by Cardholders through POS Loads at GD Merchants and the purchase of Reload Packs from GD Merchants, as applicable, provided that the Parties acknowledge that not all GD Merchants will offer the operational capability for POS Loads. Transactions in which a Cardholder purchases a Reload Pack or makes a POS Load in the GD Network shall involve a customer relationship between the Cardholder and Green Dot to the extent provided under Applicable Law. The terms and conditions of such an arrangement shall be mutually agreed upon by Bank and Green Dot pursuant to agreements separate from this Agreement. Retailer acknowledges that Green Dot and/or GD Merchants, other than Retailer, may impose fees on Cardholders for loads to Permanent Prepaid Cards issued by Bank using Reload Packs or POS Loads, and that Bank may receive compensation from Green Dot in connection with such transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Retailer’s rights under Section 14.11, Bank reserves the right to terminate its obligation to allow Cardholders to reload Permanent Prepaid Cards at GD Merchants through Reload Packs or POS Loads if continuation of such transactions presents a material risk to Bank of substantial financial loss (e.g., in the case of Green Dot’s substantial failure to settle such transactions with Bank) or substantial reputation (e.g., in the case of Green Dot’s substantial failure to comply with Applicable Law).

          (b) All funds loaded on to each Prepaid Card shall be a liability of Bank that is insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted for a single depositor, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1811 et seq.), and Bank shall take such actions and shall maintain such records as may be necessary to maintain such insurance. As between Bank and the Cardholder, Bank shall load funds to (i) a Temporary Prepaid Card when the Cardholder activates the card after Bank receives the relevant POS Data from Retailer in connection with providing Intermediary Services, (ii) a Permanent Prepaid Card in connection with a POS Load at Retailer when Bank receives the relevant POS Load Data from Retailer in connection with providing Intermediary Services, (iii) a Permanent Prepaid Card in connection with a POS Load at a XX Xxxxxxxx other than Retailer when Green Dot notifies Bank that the load transaction has been completed, and (iv) a Permanent Prepaid Card in connection with a load through a Reload Pack Sale when Green Dot notifies Bank that the Cardholder has directed Green Dot to use the proceeds of the Reload Pack Sale to load the Permanent Prepaid Card.
          (c) Retailer hereby agrees that any [***] services offered by [***], including to Cardholders, is separate and apart from any load to a Prepaid Card and all other aspects of the Program, and that [***] bears all risk, check collection responsibility and losses related to such [***] services, including in any [***] transaction that precedes a load to a Prepaid Card.

          (b) Retailer and Bank shall work in good faith together to form a Green Dot Successor for a period (“Green Dot Replacement Period”) of not less than [***]; provided, however, that such shall be only [***] if Retailer or Bank reasonably determines that continued operation of the Program with Green Dot beyond such [***] period will have a material adverse effect on such Party’s respective operations, interest in the Program or customer interactions.

          (c) Without limiting the generality of Section 14.11(b), Retailer and Bank acknowledge and agree that neither Party shall be required to consent to the replacement of Green Dot with a Green Dot Successor if such replacement would have a Substantial Adverse Impact on Cardholders during the Green Dot Replacement Period.

acknowledge that some disruption is inherent in any replacement of Green Dot in the Program with the Green Dot Successor.
          (d) If Retailer and Bank mutually agree upon a Green Dot Successor within the Green Dot Replacement Period, then the replacement of Green Dot with the Green Dot Successor shall be documented by agreements among Retailer, Bank and the Green Dot Successor that are mutually acceptable to such Parties; provided, that Retailer and Bank agree that (i) the Green Dot Successor shall not be required to assume any obligations or liabilities of Green Dot under this Agreement for any time before the Green Dot Successor replaces Green Dot, and (ii) such documentation will impose obligations on the Green Dot Successor, and provide the Green Dot Successor with rights, for the period beginning with the substitution for Green Dot that are the same as the obligations and rights of Green Dot under this Agreement immediately prior to the substitution (without regard to any Event of Default by Green Dot).
          (e) Upon execution of any documentation replacing Green Dot with a Green Dot Successor: (i) Green Dot’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (except for those rights and obligations that survive termination of this Agreement by its terms); (ii) Retailer or Bank shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement on account of the Specified Termination Right that resulted in the replacement of Green Dot with the Green Dot Successor, and (iii) Retailer, Bank and the Green Dot Successor shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement for the Term.
          (f) Retailer and Bank shall be entitled to suspend participation in the GD Network during the Green Dot Replacement Period if such Party reasonably determines that continued performance presents a material risk of substantial financial loss or reputational harm to such Party. For purposes of this Section, as well as other provisions of this Agreement, a substantial financial loss or reputational harm to Retailer or Bank shall be determined in relationship to the scope of the Program and not Retailer’s or Bank’s general operations or assets.

Cardholder Terms and Prepaid Card Fees
Wal-Mart Prepaid Card Cardholder Agreement
by GE Money Bank
This Cardholder Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, which includes both the temporary Wal-Mart Prepaid Card that you purchased from a Wal-Mart store (“Temporary Card”), as well as the personalized version of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card that will be mailed to you after you have completed the activation steps described below (“Personalized Card”). Please read it carefully and keep it for your records.
In this Agreement, the words “you” and “your’ mean the individual who purchased a Temporary Card or to whom we issued a Personalized Card. “We,” “us” and “our” mean GE Money Bank, the issuer of the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. “Our Mall Address” is X.X. Xxx 0000. Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000; and “Green Dot” means Green Dot Corporation. A “transaction” means any use of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card to make a purchase or obtain cash.
1. Your Agreement. By activating, using, or allowing another person to use the Temporary Card, you agree to this Agreement for the Temporary Card and to the Personalized Card you may receive. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, save your receipt, and cancel by calling toll-free (000) 000-0000. We will refund the amount loaded to the Temporary Card and any fees you paid if you cancel before it is activated and before anyone uses it.
2. Description of the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. The Wal-Mart Prepaid Card is a prepaid value card and not a device that accesses money in an individual checking or savings account. When you use the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, you are redeeming the value of the card and not making a withdrawal from a deposit account. The Wal-Mart Prepaid Card is NOT a credit card or charge card that allows you to make purchases or obtain advances and pay later.
3. Activating Your Temporary Card. The maximum amount of value on a Temporary Card is $500 (or $1,100 if you purchased the Temporary Card when you cashed a check at Wal-Mart). You must activate the Temporary Card and choose a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”), either by going online to xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by calling toll-free (000) 000-0000. You must have both your Temporary Card and receipt with you when you call to activate or for any refunds. After you activate your Temporary Card and we have verified your identity, we will send you a Personalized Card in the mail. If we are unable to verify your identity, you will not receive a Personalized Card. We will return to you the amount loaded on the Temporary Card and any fees you paid or, at our option, allow you to use the Temporary Card until the balance on the card is zero. Important Information About Procedures for Activating a Wal-Mart Prepaid Card: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you activate your Temporary Card, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
4. Activating Your Personalized Card. When you receive your Personalized Card in the mail, you will need to activate it by logging on to xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, or by calling toll-free

 

 

(000) 000-0000. Once you activate your Personalized Card, the amount remaining on the Temporary Card will be transferred automatically to your Personalized Card, and you will no longer be able to use the Temporary Card.
5. Reloading Your Personalized Card. You may reload additional amounts onto your Personalized Card after it is activated:
  •   With cash or a PIN-based debit card at any participating Wal-Mart location in the United States;
 
  •   By cashing a payroll check from your employer or a government-issued check at a Wal-Mart store in the United States and asking the store associate to load the value to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card;
 
  •   At retail locations (including Wal-Mart) that participate in the Green Dot® Financial Network; and
 
  •   By direct deposit from your employer of your salary or wages.
If you reload your Personalized Card at a participating Wal-Mart location, we will charge the fee listed in the chart in Section 10. Wal-Mart may also charge you a fee for cashing a check. Please note that if you reload your Personalized Card at other locations, or if you reload your Personalized Card by purchasing a MoneyPak, we do not charge you a fee but those businesses may charge a fee to you for the service they provide. Excluding direct deposits from your employer, the maximum amount that may be loaded to a Personalized Card in a single reload is $1,100, and the maximum amount that may be loaded to a Personalized Card on a day is $2,500. In no event may the balance of any Personalized Card exceed $3,000. For security reasons, there may be additional limits on the amount, number or type of reloads you can make to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card.
Additional Information about Reloading through the Green Dot Financial Network. The Green Dot Financial Network, operated by Green Dot, is a nationwide network of reload locations. Many retail merchants, including Wal-Mart, participate in the Green Dot Financial Network by selling MoneyPaks or accepting other reloads. To reload through the Green Dot Financial Network just purchase a MoneyPak or follow the retailer’s instructions, and visit xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or call Green Dot at the number provided on the MoneyPak or by the retailer to activate the reload. Once you receive confirmation on the phone, your funds will be immediately applied to your Personalized Card.
Additional Information about Reloading through Direct Deposit. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Personalized Card at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at (000) 000-0000 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
6. Use of Card. You may use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card for the following transactions:
  •   To make purchases everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted (merchants without a swipe terminal cannot honor your Temporary Card).
 
  •   To make purchases and to obtain cash back when you make a purchase at any participating Wal-Mart or SAM’S CLUB location or other merchants that honor Visa, Plus or Interlink network PIN-based cards (though some merchants may not provide cash back).
 
  •   To obtain cash from participating ATMs that honor Visa, Plus or Interlink network cards, or from participating financial institutions.
You may not use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card: (a) to obtain more than $400 in cash from ATMs each day; or (b) to purchase more than $3,000 (or the amount on your Card, if less) worth of goods or services (including any cash back) in point-of-sale transactions each day. For security reasons, there may be additional limits on the amount, number or type of transactions you can make using your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card.

 

 

7. Preauthorized payments. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments using your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, you can stop any of these payments. Here’s how: Call us at (000) 000-0000, or write us at Our Mail Address, in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing, to provide us with a copy of your notice to the payee revoking the payee’s authority to originate debits to your card, and get it to us within 14 days after you call. If we do not receive the written confirmation within 14 days, we may honor subsequent debits to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. We may charge you $5 for each stop-payment order you give. If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. If you order us to stop one of these regular payments 3 business days or more before the transaction is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
If you intend to use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card for recurring transactions (ones that are automatically charged to your card each month by a merchant), you should monitor the your card balance to make sure it is sufficient to cover the transactions. Because your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card is prepaid and does not carry a credit line, a merchant that you have authorized to submit recurring transactions may suspend or cancel your service if the card does not have enough value when the recurring transaction is submitted.
8. Additional Personalized Cards. You can ask us to issue an additional Personalized Card, in the name of a person identified by you, that will be linked to your Personalized Card. We may ask for information about the person to whom you want us to issue an additional Personalized Card and reserve the right to not approve your request for an additional Personalized Card. Only two Personalized Cards may be linked together. Value may be added to linked Personalized Cards using either Personalized Card, and any value added to the linked Personalized Cards may be accessed by both Personalized Cards. Both linked Personalized Cards are governed by this Agreement, and all reloads and transactions on linked Personalized Cards will be considered together for purposes of the transaction and reload limits. The persons to whom we issue linked Personalized Cards are responsible individually and together for all obligations under the Agreement for both cards. We may honor instructions from one of you with respect to linked Personalized Cards, even if we receive conflicting or no instructions from the other person. Any notices regarding linked Personalized Cards may be provided only to the person who requested the additional Personalized Card.
9. Your Responsibilities. You are responsible for the following:
  •   You must maintain value on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card to pay for each transaction and all applicable fees. If you attempt a transaction for more than the value available on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, the transaction may be declined.
 
  •   You agree we may deduct the amount of your transactions and applicable fees, and any other amount you owe us in connection with any Temporary Card or Personalized Card, directly from the balance of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card.
 
  •   You must pay us immediately on demand if, for any reason, your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card does not have a sufficient balance to cover the amount of a transaction and amounts owed to us.
 
  •   You will not authorize anyone else to use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, or transfer your card to anyone.
 
  •   You will not use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card in an illegal reload or transaction or in connection with an Internet gambling transaction.
 
  •   You will take reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of the PIN you select for your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card.
 
  •   You will notify us right away if you believe your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card or PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has used or may use your card or PIN without your permission. You can notify us on-line at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by calling (000) 000-0000 or writing to us at Our Mail Address. See “Your Liability for Unauthorized Use

 

 

      of Your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card or PIN.”
 
  •   You agree to cooperate with us in our investigation of any possible unauthorized use of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card.

When you use an ATM not owned by us, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any network used (and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a transaction).
The Operator Assisted Call fee does not apply if you are calling to report a lost or stolen Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, or if you are calling to exercise your error resolution rights.
11. Refunds and Merchant Disputes. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason, you agree to accept a credit to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card instead of a cash refund, if the merchant does not provide cash refunds. You will settle all disputes about purchases you make using your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card with the merchant who honored the card. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality or other aspect of goods or services that you purchase from others with the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card.
12. FDIC Insurance; No Interest Paid. Amounts that you load or reload on a Wal-Mart Prepaid Card are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the

 

 

maximum amount provided by applicable law. You will not receive any interest for the value on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card (the interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield are 0%).
13. When Value on Your Card Is Available. Our policy is to make value that you load to your Temporary Card available for you to use immediately after you activate the Card. In addition, our policy is to make value from a reload to a Personalized Card that you make by presenting your card at a Wal-Mart or SAM’S CLUB register available for you to use immediately after the reload. Value that you reload at retailers through the Green Dot®, Financial Network (including in Green Dot reloads involving Wal-Mart or SAM’S CLUB) is not available until you complete the reload with the retailer and Green Dot. Direct deposit and other ACH credits to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card are available when we receive the funds.
14. Authorizations and Authorization Holds. When you use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card to pay for goods or services, certain merchants may ask us to authorize the transaction in advance and may estimate its final value. When we authorize the transaction, we commit to make the requested funds available when the transaction finally settles and may place a temporary hold on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card’s funds for the amount indicated by the merchant. Some merchants also may add an amount to ensure that sufficient funds will be available to cover the final transaction (such as an estimated tip). If the amount of the authorization request exceeds the value on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, the transaction may be declined. Transactions at certain merchants that authorize high dollar amounts, especially rental car companies and hotels, may cause an “authorization” or a “hold” on your available balance for up to 90 days. Until the transaction finally settles or we determine that it is unlikely to be processed, the funds subject to the hold will not be available to you for other purposes. We will only charge your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card for the correct amount of the final transaction, however, and we will release any excess amount when the transaction finally settles. Please note that we may not manually release authorizations without a certified letter or fax from the merchant. In addition, if you commence a purchase and the merchant obtains an authorization, and then you cancel the purchase without completing it, the authorization may result in a temporary hold for that amount of funds for 10 days, or longer in some cases.
15. Sharing Information About You. We will disclose information to third parties about your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card or the transactions, loads, and reloads you make:
  •   Where it is necessary for completing transactions, loads, or reloads;
 
  •   In order to verify the existence and condition of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant:
 
  •   In order to comply with government agency or court orders;
 
  •   If you give us written permission; and
 
  •   As otherwise provided in our Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy that accompanies this Agreement. You hereby agree to our collection, use, and sharing of information about you and your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card as provided in our Privacy Policy, which is made a part of this Agreement.
16. Obtaining Wal-Mart Prepaid Card Information; Receipts. You may obtain information about the amount of value you have remaining on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card by calling (000) 000-0000, or at any Wal-Mart or SAM’S CLUB register. This information, along with a 60-day history of card transactions and reloads, is also available on-line at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. You also have the right to obtain a 60-day written history of Wal-Mart Prepaid Card transactions and reloads by calling (000) 000-0000, or by writing us at Our Mail Address. You can get a receipt at the time you make any transaction or load with your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card at an ATM or point-of-sale terminal.
17. Periodic Statements for Personalized Cards. You may ask to receive periodic statements for your Personalized Card by calling us at (000) 000-0000 or on-line at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. You may request an individual periodic statement, or periodic statements for each monthly cycle in which a Personalized Card transaction or reload occurs.

 

 

However, we reserve the right to stop sending regular periodic statements if your Personalized Card is inactive. There is no charge for a periodic statement received electronically (if available), although a $2 fee is imposed for each statement if you request a statement delivered by U.S. mail.
18. Our Liability. If we do not complete a load or reload to, or transaction from your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be responsible for your losses or damages to the extent required by federal law. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance: (a) if, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money available on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card to make the transaction; (b) if the ATM, bank, or merchant where you are trying to obtain cash does not have enough cash; (c) if the system, ATM or POS terminal was not working properly and you knew about the break-down before you started the transaction, load, or reload; (d) if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent or delay the transaction, load, or reload from being completed, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; (e) if you attempt to use a Wal-Mart Prepaid Card that has not been properly activated; (f) if the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card has been reported as lost or stolen, has been suspended by us, or we have reason to believe a transaction was not authorized by you; or (g) Wal-Mart or Green Dot does not properly transmit transaction, load, or reload information to us. There also may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you or provided by applicable law.
19. Foreign Transactions. If your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card is used in a transaction that is submitted to the Visa, Plus or Interlink networks in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Visa will convert the transaction amount into U.S. dollars using its currency conversion procedure. Under the currency conversion procedure that Visa currently uses, the non-U.S. dollar transaction amount is converted into a U.S. dollar amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non- U. S. dollar currency by a currency conversion rate. The currency conversion rate that Visa typically uses is either a government mandated rate, or a wholesale rate provided to Visa. The currency conversion rate that Visa uses for a particular transaction is the rate Visa uses for the applicable currency when the transaction is processed. This rate may differ from the rate in effect when the transaction occurred or when it was posted to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, and may be higher than the rate you could have gotten if you had converted U.S. dollars into cash. If a transaction initially in a foreign currency is converted to U.S. dollars before it is entered into the Visa, Plus or Interlink networks, the conversion rates and fees of the company that did the conversion will apply. We charge a fee of 2% of the dollar amount of each transaction that you make in a country other than the United States, whether or not the transaction was in a foreign currency.
20. Termination; Expiration. We may, at any time, suspend your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card and your ability to use your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card, for any reason allowed by law, such as if we suspect possible fraud or suspicious activity, or for security reasons. We may, at any time and for any reason, terminate a Wal-Mart Prepaid Card and your use of the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. Your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card will expire on any expiration date on the card. Upon termination or expiration, we may stop accepting reloads to and/or transactions from the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card and we may decline to authorize a transaction with the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. If we terminate your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card or it expires and we do not provide a substitute or replacement card, we will return to you any value remaining on the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card unless we are prohibited by law from doing so. You remain responsible for any use of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card even after the card is terminated or expires. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to pay attorneys’ fees and collection costs we incur in collecting amounts you owe us and enforcing our rights under this Agreement.
21. Changes; Waiver. We reserve the right to change, delete or add to this Agreement and to apply any such modification to a Wal-Mart Prepaid Card that has been issued to you and to value on your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. We will provide you notice of any such modification as required by applicable law. If we decide not to enforce our rights or charge a fee in one situation,

 

 

we are not giving up our right to enforce it or to charge the fee in a later situation.
22. Choice of Law. This Agreement and all aspects of your relationship with us with regard to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card are governed by and construed in accordance with federal law and, to the extent that state law applies, the laws of the State of Utah.
23. Additional Terms. (a) Our business days are Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays. (b) The Wal-Mart identification number printed on the back of your Personalized Card is a number that we give to you on behalf of Wal-Mart so that Wal-Mart and its affiliates can better serve you. We do not use that number and we are not responsible for the use of that number by you, Wal-Mart, SAM’S CLUB, or any third parties with whom any of them may share the number. (c) Our agents or we may monitor your telephone calls with us and our servicers or agents. (d) You will notify us promptly if you change your address or telephone number. (e) We may transfer any of our rights or obligations. You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations. (f) If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable. (g) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us relating to the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card and supersede any other prior or contemporaneous agreement between you and us. (h) Use of a Wal-Mart Prepaid Card is subject to all rules and customs of Visa, Plus, Interlink, Green Dot and any other clearinghouse or network involved in the transaction, load, or reload.
24.1. ARBITRATION PROVISION. Please read this arbitration provision carefully. IT PROVIDES THAT ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE LEGAL DISPUTE OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING STATUTORY AND COMMON LAW CLAIMS AND CLAIMS FOR EQUITABLE RELIEF, THAT RELATES IN ANYWAY TO YOUR WAL-MART PREPAID CARD OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US (“CLAIM”) WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IF EITHER YOU OR WE (OR, IF NAMED AS A CO-PARTY WITH US, WALMART OR A SERVICER) ELECTS TO ARBITRATE.
Right to Reject Arbitration: You may reject this arbitration provision, in which event neither you nor We will have the right to require arbitration. Rejection will not affect any other aspect of this Agreement. To reject the arbitration provision, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you activate your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. The notice must include your name, address, and Wal-Mart Prepaid Card number and be mailed to XX Xxx 000000, Xx Xxxx XX 00000-0000. This is the only method you can use to reject the arbitration provision.
As used in this provision: “We,” “Us,” and “Our” mean (1) GE Money Bank and all of its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors (collectively, the “Bank”), and (2) Wal-Mart and all of its respective parents, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors (collectively, “Wal-Mart”), and any company that provides services with respect to your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card and all of its respective parents, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors (collectively, “Service”), if Wal-Mart or a Servicer is named as a co-party with the Bank in a claim asserted by you.
This arbitration provision covers all Claims, except that We will not elect to arbitrate an individual Claim brought by you in small claims court or its equivalent, unless that Claim is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court. This provision replaces any existing arbitration provision between you and Us.
The following describes the arbitration procedure, and its implications:
•   Notice: If you or We elect to arbitrate, the other party must be notified. Your notice must be sent to GE Consumer Finance, Legal Operation, 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000. Notice can be given after a lawsuit has been filed, in which case it can be made in papers in the lawsuit.
•   Administrator: The person who starts the arbitration proceeding must choose an administrator,

 

 

which can be either the National Arbitration Forum, X.X. Xxx 00000, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, xxx.xxx-xxxxx.xxx (000) 000-0000; or the American Arbitration Association, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx XX 00000, xxx.xxx.xxx, (000) 000-0000. The actual arbitrator will be selected under the administrator’s rules, and must be a lawyer with at least ten years of experience.
•   Applicable Law: This Agreement involves interstate commerce and this arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq. (the “FAA”). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under Section 2 of the FAA in determining the validity of this provision. The arbitrator has to follow: (1) the Substantive law, consistent with the FAA, that would apply if the matter had been brought in court, (2) this arbitration provision, and (3) the administrator’s rules. The arbitrator is authorized to award remedies that would apply if the individual action were in a court (including, without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the constitutional standards employed by the U.S. Supreme Court).
•   Location/Fees: The arbitration will take place in a location reasonably convenient to you. If you ask us, we will pay all filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees the administrator or arbitrator charges up to $2,500. If the cost is higher, you can ask us to pay more and we will consider your request in good faith. Under all circumstances we will pay all amounts we are required to pay under applicable law.
•   Judgment/Appeals. A court may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except for: (1) any appeal right under the FAA; and (2) any party may appeal decisions relating to Claims of more than $100,000 to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the administrator, which will reconsider all over again any aspect of the appealed award. If you appeal, We will consider in good faith a request that We pay any additional fees of the administrator or arbitrator.
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS: IF A CLAIM GOES TO ARBITRATION, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO: (1) HAVE A COURT OR A JURY DECIDE THE CLAIM; (2) ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY (I.E., THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM THE OTHER PARTY) TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT YOU OR WE COULD IN COURT; (3) PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR A CLASS MEMBER; (4) ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION; OR (5) JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE YOUR CLAIMS(S) WITH CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSON. THE RIGHT TO APPEAL IS MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN COURT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. ONLY A COURT MAY DETERMINE THE VALIDITY AND EFFECT OF PARTS 3, 4 AND 5 OF THIS PARAGRAPH. IF A COURT SHOULD HOLD SUCH PART(S) TO BE INVALID, THEN THE ENTIRE PROVISION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. HOWEVER, THIS WILL NOT LIMIT THE RIGHT TO APPEAL SUCH HOLDING. IF A COURT SHOULD HOLD ANY OTHER PART(S) OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION TO BE INVALID, THE REMAINING PARTS SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE.
This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card and the Wal-Mart Prepaid Card relationship and will remain in force no matter what happens to you or your Wal-Mart Prepaid Card. If the administrator’s rules conflict with the rules described in this provision, this provision will apply.

Each may be referred to herein as a “Party” or collectively as “Parties”.
WHEREAS the Bank issues prepaid cards, including reloadable prepaid cards bearing the Visa logo (“Cards”) to consumers throughout the United States;
WHEREAS Wal-Mart would like to sell Cards which are branded with the Wal-Mart name (“Prepaid Cards”) in such retail stores indirectly operated by Wal-Mart as the Parties may agree upon from time to time in writing (the “Participating Stores”);
WHEREAS the Bank, Wal-Mart, certain subsidiaries of Wal-Mart and Green Dot Corporation have entered into a Prepaid Card Program Agreement, dated as of October      , 2006 (the “Prepaid Card Agreement”), which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Bank shall issue and service, and Wal-Mart shall distribute, Prepaid Cards (the “Card Program”);
WHEREAS, the Prepaid Card Agreement provides that Wal-Mart shall serve as the agent of the Bank for certain limited purposes in the Card Program, as described more particularly in an Appointment Agreement.

Schedule 4.5
Appointment Agreement — by Green Dot of Retailer
APPOINTMENT AGREEMENT
     This APPOINTMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 27, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) by and among Green Dot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Green Dot”), whose principal business address is 000 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wal-Mart”). Green Dot and Wal-Mart each may be referred to herein individually as “Party,” and jointly as the “Parties.”
     For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Program Description. Green Dot, GE Money Bank, a federal savings association with its principal place of business in Salt Lake City, Utah (“Bank”), Wal-Mart, and certain subsidiaries of Wal-Mart, have entered into an Agreement (the “Card Program Agreement”), which sets forth the general terms and conditions under which the Bank shall issue and service, and Wal-Mart shall distribute, prepaid cards which are branded with the Wal-Mart name and which bear the name and trademark of a card association (the “Prepaid Cards”), in such retail stores indirectly operated by Wal-Mart as the parties to the Card Program Agreement may agree upon from time to time in writing (the “Territory’’). In the program, Prepaid Card cardholders, as well as other customers participating in the Green Dot® Financial Network (the “Network”) may load funds on prepaid cards and transfer funds to other participants in the Network. Wal-Mart will sell certain payment devices provided by Green Dot for this purpose, in accordance with operating procedures provided from time to time by Green Dot to Wal-Mart in writing.
2. Load Packs. Green Dot shall provide to Wal-Mart Reload Packs and POS Loads for sale in Wal-Mart stores participating in the Prepaid Card program. A “Reload Pack” is a MoneyPak or any other type of universal cash acceptance product that can be used to transfer funds to stored value cards and prepaid cards, to pay bills with participating billers and to make transfers to other payees participating in the Network. A “POS Load” is a transaction in which a cardholder may load a prepaid card through the Network by providing funds to a cashier at a point-of-sale in a retail store, who swipes the prepaid card through an electronic terminal Money Pales and POS Loads are sometimes referred to in this Agreement together as “Load Packs”.
3. Appointment; Limited Agency. The Card Program Agreement provides that Wal-Mart shall serve as the agent of Green Dot for certain limited purposes in the Card Program, as described more particularly in an Appointment Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement sets forth the terms of such agency.

 

 

     (a) Green Dot hereby grants to Wal-Mart a non-exclusive right to market, promote, distribute and sell Load Packs as a member of the GD Network. Wal-Mart agrees to stock and sell MoneyPaks at Wal-Mart store locations, and consents to Green Dot’s use of Wal-Mart’s name, and Green Dot’s listing of Wal-Mart’s participating store locations on Green Dot’s website in order to direct consumers to Green Dot® Financial Network locations, in each case as described in the Card Program Agreement. Any other use of the Wal-Mart name or trademarks by Green Dot is subject to the terms of the Card Program Agreement.
     (b) Green Dot hereby appoints Wal-Mart as agent solely for the purpose of selling Load Packs and engaging in the collection and transmission of funds in connection with such sales, in the Territory on behalf of Green Dot. Green Dot and Wal-Mart are subject to regulation as provided by applicable state law and regulations. Green Dot shall provide notice to Wal-Mart in advance of any supervision or examination of Wal-Mart that may be required under the laws of a state prior to that state being added to the Territory; provided, however, that such notice shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 9 hereof. Wal-Mart acknowledges and agrees that, upon the addition of any state to the Territory, Wal-Mart shall be subject to supervision and examination as provided by applicable state law and regulations. Wal-Mart is under a duty to act only as authorized under this Agreement, and if Wal-Mart exceeds such authority, this Agreement may be terminated and Wal-Mart may be subject to disciplinary action by government authorities. Neither Party shall appoint or authorize subagents or sub-authorized delegates except in compliance with applicable state law and regulations. As required by Arizona law, a copy of the Arizona statute governing money transmission is appended hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.
     (c) Except for the obligations set forth in this Section 3, Wal-Mart owes no other obligation or duty to Green Dot as its principal.

     (d) During the term of this Appointment Agreement, Green Dot shall perform its obligations as principal in accordance with applicable law, and shall maintain all licenses, registrations and permits necessary to conduct its business and maintain the appointment of Wal-Mart made hereunder.
4. Settlement. All Cardholder funds, including fees, received by Wal-Mart for sales of Load Packs shall be held in trust by Wal-Mart until received by Bank each day on behalf of Green Dot. Payment by Wal-Mart to Bank of any settlement amounts due Green Dot from Wal-Mart under this Agreement shall satisfy Wal-Mart’s obligations to Green Dot with respect to such amounts.
5. Regulatory Compliance. Wal-Mart shall display at participating Wal-Mart store

All such signs, decals, materials and supplies furnished by Green Dot to Wal-Mart shall remain the sole property of Green Dot, and shall be returned to Green Dot within ten business days after the effective termination date of this Appointment Agreement. Green Dot shall bear the reasonable cost of such return of signs, decals, materials and supplies to Green Dot by Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart shall keep Green Dot apprised of changes, additions or deletions to its participating store locations. Participating stores shall be determined in accordance with the Card Program Agreement.

     (c) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement: (a) Wal-Mart shall cease selling Load Packs, and immediately transmit all proceeds from the sales of Load Packs in Wal-Mart’s possession to Green Dot, in accordance with the terms of the Card Program Agreement; and (b) the appointment granted hereunder shall terminate.
8. Severability; Waiver.

In addition, the rights of either Party hereunder shall not be prejudiced or restricted by any time given or forbearance extended to the other Party in the enforcement of its rights and no waiver by a Party of its tights in respect of any breach hereof by the other Party shall be deemed to operate as a waiver in respect of any subsequent breach hereof.
9. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified mail return receipt requested, by hand, by facsimile

SECOND AMENDMENT TO PREPAID CARD PROGRAM AGREEMENT
     This Second Amendment (this “Amendment”) to that certain Prepaid Card Program Agreement dated as of October 20, 2006 (the “Agreement”) is made as of the Amendment Effective Date, by and among Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 000 X.X.

RECITALS
     WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to provide for certain changes to the terms, marketing and display, and pricing of the Program and the Load Program, consistent with Retailer’s name and image as a leader in providing goods and services to customers at low prices; and
     WHEREAS, the Parties also desire to amend certain other provisions in the Agreement, as set forth below.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following terms and conditions, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. General.
     (a) This Amendment shall take effect as of the Amendment Effective Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. As amended hereby, the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
     (b) Capitalized definitional terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
     (c) The Parties agree that the condition set forth in Section Three of that certain Amendment to Prepaid Card Program Agreement dated as of October 20, 2008 by and among Retailer, Bank and Green Dot, has been satisfied, and Retailer shall not be deemed to have given notice to terminate the Agreement as provided therein.

 

 

2. Prepaid Card Pricing and Fees.
     (a) Price Leadership.
          (1) The Amended Fee Schedule is hereby added to Schedule 1.5(d) to the Agreement, and the fees and prices set forth therein may be implemented as Prepaid Card Fees after the Amendment Effective Date on a date or dates chosen by Retailer at its discretion; provided, however, that Retailer shall use its best efforts to implement such changes on or before January 15, 2009 to fees for the initial issuance of Temporary Prepaid Cards and to fees for POS Loads for all Prepaid Cards at Participating Stores, whether sold before, on or after that date.
          (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (1): (A) Bank shall use its best efforts to implement the change, on or before January 15, 2009, to the [***] on Prepaid Cards, whether sold before, on or after that date; (B) Bank and Green Dot expeditiously shall implement the [***] in [***] (other than [***]) on Prepaid Cards sold before January 15, 2009, according to a roll-out schedule reasonably established by Retailer in consultation with the other Parties, which schedule shall take into account the operational requirements of such other Parties with respect to any changes; provided, however, that in no event shall such fees be implemented later than January 15, 2009; (C) Bank shall not be required to replace any Temporary Prepaid Card packaging until all existing Temporary Prepaid Card packaging has been sold, or until January 29, 2009, whichever occurs first; (D) Bank shall use its best efforts to ensure that all Temporary Prepaid Cards and all Permanent Prepaid Cards shipped after January 29, 2009 will carry the new pricing; and (E) Bank, without its prior written consent, shall not be required to implement any changes to fees applicable to Prepaid Cards sold before January 15, 2009 which require new Prepaid Card Terms to be sent to the Cardholders. In any event, all packaging shipped for Temporary Prepaid Cards and Prepaid Cards shall bear the new pricing within fourteen (14) weeks from the date on which Retailer provides final approval of the packaging. If Retailer does not implement the [***] referred to in the foregoing paragraph (1) until after January 15, 2009, then the references to “January 29, 2009” in this paragraph (2) shall be deemed to be changed to the date which is two (2) weeks after the date on which Retailer implements said fee changes.
     (3) Section 1.5(d) of the Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
1.5(d) Prepaid Card Terms.
(i) (A) The Parties acknowledge that [***] to offer [***] current prepaid payment products in the marketplace. Accordingly, in connection with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Retailer shall be solely responsible for determining the
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

financial products and services that Retailer makes available to its customers in Stores. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, commencing on the Amendment Effective Date Retailer at any time may request, by written notice to the other Parties, that Bank and / or Green Dot, as applicable, [***] any [***] with [***]. If, within [***] after such a request, Bank and / or Green Dot, as applicable, have not agreed to each of Retailer’s requested change(s), then Retailer may terminate this Agreement upon [***] written notice to the other Parties. In addition, commencing [***], Section 11.7 (Exclusivity) shall no longer apply [***] after the date of such notice of termination (the “Exclusivity Termination Date”). If, on or after the Exclusivity Termination Date, Retailer begins to sell Card Products (other than Card Products issued by Bank) which bear the “Wal-Mart” name and / or Retailer Marks or otherwise fall within the definition of “Exclusive Card Product” (the “New Card Products”), and the number of Prepaid Cards sold during such non-exclusive period between the Exclusivity Termination Date and the on which the Agreement terminates is less than the number of Prepaid Cards sold during the equal number of days immediately prior to the Exclusivity Termination Date, as adjusted for seasonality in monthly Prepaid Card sales during the prior year (such difference, if any, is the “Exclusivity Delta”), Retailer shall pay to Bank a fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) equal to $[***] times the lesser of (a) the number of New Card Products sold prior to the date on which the Agreement terminates, or (b) the Exclusivity Delta. Retailer shall pay the Early Termination Fee to Bank within [***] after the date on which the Agreement terminates.
     (B) If Bank, exercising its authority to set Prepaid Card Fees, determines to implement the changes to the Prepaid Card in accordance with this Section 1.5(d)(i), such changes shall be implemented according to a Participating Store roll-out schedule reasonably established by Retailer in consultation with the other Parties, which schedule shall take into account the operational requirements of such other Parties with respect to any changes to Prepaid Card Fees other than the fee assessed upon issuance of a Temporary Prepaid Card or the fee for a POS Load to a Permanent Prepaid Card at Participating Stores.
     (C) If, as a result of Retailer’s request which is accepted and implemented by Bank and/or Green Dot (as applicable), the [***] or [***] are [***], Retailer’s revenue share adjustment shall be calculated based upon Retailer bearing or benefitting, as applicable, from [***] percent ([***]%) of such economic impact, as described in the examples set forth in Exhibit A to Schedule 5.2;
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

provided, however, that in any Program Year, Retailer shall bear no more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the total of such impact during such Program Year.
     (D) If, as a result of Retailer’s request which is accepted and implemented by Bank and/or Green Dot (as applicable), the change(s) result in mutually agreed upon, increased costs to Bank or Green Dot (as applicable) because of changes to marketing materials, customer messaging, card mailers, replacement packaging, or Prepaid Card Terms, or because a change in Prepaid Card Terms notice mailing is required, Retailer shall bear [***] percent ([***]%) of such mutually agreed upon costs.
     (E) In addition to the rights provided under paragraphs (A) through (D), in the event Retailer terminates this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (A) above, Retailer shall have the right to [***] the [***] or [***] to [***] or [***], as applicable, in connection with a Prepaid Card, a POS Load or a Reload Pack by [***] the [***] the [***] or [***] to which [***] was [***] to the [***], and the [***] or [***] which [***] had [***] to the [***] that would have been [***] on [***]. The costs to be incurred by Bank or Green Dot in connection with such [***], if any, shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties; provided, however, that in no event will Retailer require any change to Temporary Prepaid Card or Permanent Prepaid Card packaging in connection with the [***]. Retailer may implement the [***] under this paragraph (E) at any time after receipt of notice by Bank or Green Dot, as applicable, that Retailer’s request for a change is denied. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Retailer’s [***] right under this Section 1.5(d)(i)(E) does not affect the right of Bank or Green Dot, as applicable, to establish fees and pricing for Prepaid Cards and the Load Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) in no event shall the impact on [***] calculated according to the methodology set forth in Section 5.2 exceed [***] the actual cost of the [***].
     (ii) The Prepaid Card Terms, including the fees and charges imposed on Cardholders by Bank for each type of Prepaid Card (“Prepaid Card Fees”), are determined by Bank and agreed to by Retailer as set forth from time to time in Schedule 1.5(d). Bank may modify, amend or supplement any or all of the Prepaid Card
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

Terms upon thirty days prior notice to Retailer, except [***].
     (iii) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict Bank’s ability to modify and / or supplement the Prepaid Card Terms to the extent Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx necessary in order to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, the requirements of Network Providers, or the direction of a Governmental Authority, and Bank may proceed with the modification, amendment or supplement without the consent of Retailer; [***].
     (iv) In addition to the Prepaid Card Terms listed in Schedule 1.5(d), Bank reserves the right to assess additional Prepaid Card Fees, with the written consent of Retailer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for additional Prepaid Card services provided by Bank and approved by Retailer after the date hereof (e.g., picture identification services). Bank also reserves the right to restrict use of the Prepaid Cards at certain merchant classification categories that Bank reasonably determines are not consistent with the Program, such as Internet gambling web-sites.
     (v) Bank agrees to develop a new pricing plan for Cardholders who frequently use their Wal-Mart Prepaid Cards, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such new plan no later than January 15, 2009, or such other date as Bank and Retailer may mutually agree upon.
     (vi) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Bank shall not [***] a [***] (viewed as a whole) to [***] for distributing Temporary Prepaid Cards or POS Loads than [***] to
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

any [***] which are sold at substantially similar prices (including back-end fees) as those charged for Temporary Prepaid Cards and POS Loads to Prepaid Cards sold by Retailer.
     (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Green Dot refuses to implement a change to the price of Reload Packs suggested by Retailer because such price change would have an adverse economic impact on Green Dot, Green Dot may cease selling Reload Packs through Retailer upon [***] prior written notice to Retailer. At the end of such [***], at Green Dot’s option, either Green Dot shall implement a [***] as [***], or Retailer’s obligations under Section 11.7(g) shall terminate with respect to loads to Prepaid Cards other than POS Loads; provided, however, that if Retailer implements the alternative [***], the fee for such device shall be [***] for a POS Load.
     (b) Payroll Check Loading Fee
Section 5.3 (Payroll Check Loading Fee) [***].
3. Online Xxxx Payment.
     (a) The phrase “and Online Xxxx Payment Services” is added after “Direct Deposit Loads” in the fourth line of Section 1.5(a).
     (b) Effective April 1, 2008, “Intentionally Omitted” is deleted from Section 1.12, and is replaced with the following:
1.12 Online Xxxx Payment Services and Online Debit Load Services
(a) Commencing on or about April 1, 2008, in connection with the Card Program, Bank shall offer such online xxxx payment services through the Prepaid Card Website as Bank and Retailer may agree upon from time to time in writing. Bank and Retailer agree that such services shall be initially offered on behalf of Bank by CheckFree Services Corporation, pursuant to the Online Services Agreement, dated February 15, 2008, between GE Money Bank and CheckFree Services Corporation, in the form acknowledged by Wal-Mart (the “Online Services Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, only Bank (and not CheckFree Services Corporation or any successor service provider) may charge a Cardholder a fee for an online xxxx payment service, which fee shall be subject to Retailer’s approval.
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

(b) Bank shall provide Retailer with reasonable advance notice prior to making any proposed changes to Online Services Agreement. Bank shall not make any changes to the Online Services Agreement which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on Retailer, without the prior written consent of Retailer. Bank represents and warrants to Retailer that, as of the Amendment Effective Date, there have been no amendments or modifications to the Online Services Agreement.
(c) Upon written notice to Retailer, Bank reserves the right to terminate the Online Services Agreement (or any similar agreement with a replacement vendor) if (i) CheckFree Services Corporation or the replacement vendor, as applicable, fails to perform its obligations thereunder, or (ii) such termination is needed to comply with safe and sound banking practices, the directions of a Governmental Authority or Applicable Law.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.12, after Bank’s receipt from, or delivery to, CheckFree Services Corporation of a notice to terminate the Online Services Agreement, Bank and Retailer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transition the online xxxx payment services to a mutually agreed upon replacement vendor on terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by Bank and Retailer so as to avoid an interruption of online xxxx payment services; provided, that if Bank and Retailer are unable to complete the transition to a replacement vendor prior to termination of the Online Services Agreement, Bank shall not be obligated to offer online xxxx payment services at the Prepaid Card Website until Bank and Retailer mutually agree upon a replacement vendor and the terms and conditions on which the replacement vendor shall provide the online xxxx payment services at the Prepaid Card Website on behalf of Bank.
     (c) Effective April 1, 2008, Section 9.1(b) is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Bank shall provide a website to enable Cardholders to activate Prepaid Cards, to pay bills online, to view balances of Prepaid Cards, purchase history and any additional information agreed to by the Parties, and to provide such other services or functionalities as the Parties may agree upon from time to time. Subject to Retailer’s review and approval from time to time at Retailer’s reasonable request, Bank shall have sole responsibility for developing and maintaining the security for such website, operated under the domain name xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (the “Prepaid Card Website”). All aspects of the Prepaid Card Website shall comply with the Xxx-Xxxx.xxx style guide provided to Bank from time to time. Bank shall transfer the registration of the

 

 

domain name xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx to Retailer by January 30, 2009. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank agrees that the Prepaid Card Website will comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, as provided in Section 8.4, and that Bank is responsible for any payment card data in its possession or control. Within sixty (60) days of the Amendment Effective Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to include a Schedule to be attached to this Agreement such additional data privacy and security requirements of Retailer as the Parties may agree upon.
4. Reload Packs, POS Loads and Online Loads.
     (a) In Section 2.3(c), the “and” immediately before clause (iv) is deleted, and the following is inserted after the words “(Section 2.6(a))” at the end of clause (iv):
; and (v) Online Loads (Section 4.1).
     (b) Section 2.5 is replaced in its entirety with the following:
2.5 Reload Packs, POS Loads and Online Loads in GD Network
Bank and Green Dot shall maintain an arrangement under which [***] shall [***] of [***] and [***] are [***] and [***] are [***] by [***] through [***], and the [***] of [***] from [***], as [***], provided that the Parties acknowledge that not all GD Merchants will offer the operational capability for POS Loads. In addition, Green Dot shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement Online Load capability for Prepaid Cards as promptly as practicable after the Amendment Effective Date, which capability will be described in an addendum to the Agreement executed by the Parties. Transactions in which a Cardholder purchases a Reload Pack or makes a POS Load in the GD Network shall involve a customer relationship between the Cardholder and Green Dot to the extent provided under Applicable Law. Retailer acknowledges that [***] other than [***] may [***] for [***] at [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank reserves the right, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Retailer, to terminate its obligation to allow Cardholders to load or reload Prepaid Cards in the GD Network if continuation of such transactions presents a material risk to Bank of substantial financial loss (e.g., in the case of Green Dot’s substantial failure to settle such transactions with Bank) or substantial reputational harm (e.g., in the case of Green Dot’s

substantial failure to comply with Applicable Law).

14. Customer Information.
     (a) Retailer Customer Identification Function. Section 1.3 is replaced in its entirety with the following:
1.3 Bank, as agent for Retailer, will assign a Retailer Customer Number to each Wal-Mart Prepaid Card holder and will print this number on the reverse side of the Permanent Prepaid Card. Subject to Applicable Law, Bank, as agent for Retailer in connection with the Retailer Customer Number, shall collect and transmit (not less than once each month) to Retailer each Retailer Customer Number (or another unique identifying number) assigned hereunder, together with the associated Wal-Mart Prepaid Card holder’s name, address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address (the Retailer Customer Number together with the Cardholder’s name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, the “Retailer Customer Information”). Retailer and Bank shall use reasonable effort to adopt a process by which a Retailer customer may authorize the collection and transmittal of Retailer Customer Information contemplated by this Section 1.3. Retailer understands that the Retailer Customer Number assigned by Bank will be associated with a given Permanent Prepaid Card and may not be the same Retailer Customer Number the Cardholder would be assigned in conjunction with any other relationship the Cardholder may have with either Retailer or Bank. Bank will work with Retailer in good faith to assist Retailer in integrating Retailer’s envisioned customer registration program into the materials for the Program. Bank shall not issue the same Retailer Customer Number more than once.
     (b) A new Section 8.2(k) is added as follows:
All information about a Retailer customer provided by Retailer to Bank for purposes of marketing the Card Program is referred to in this Agreement as “Retailer Marketing Information.” The parties agree that for purposes of the California “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83, as in effect from time to time) and other applicable privacy law, Retailer and Bank shall be deemed to be jointly sponsoring the Card Program to Retailer’s customers. Commencing with shipment of packaging reflecting the new pricing in Exhibit A, Bank shall add a statement, approved in advance by Retailer, to terms and conditions accompanying such new Temporary Prepaid Card packaging and other terms and

 

 

conditions, that Retailer discloses Retailer Marketing Information to Bank, and Bank receives Retailer Marketing Information from Retailer, in connection with promoting the Prepaid Card. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Bank shall keep all Retailer Marketing Information confidential, and Bank may not use or disclose Retailer Marketing Information for any purpose other than soliciting Retailer’s customers for a Prepaid Card. Bank will also ensure that any third party to whom Retailer Marketing Information is transferred or made available by or on behalf of Bank, as permitted by this Section 8.2(k), signs a written contract with Bank in which such third party agrees (i) to restrict its use of Retailer Marketing Information to the use specified in this Section 8.2(k); (ii) to comply with all Applicable Law and Retailer’s privacy policy; and (iii) to implement and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguard to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of all Retailer Marketing Information. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement or the date Retailer or its designee completes the purchase of Prepaid Cards pursuant to Section 14.4, if applicable, Bank and any third party who receives Retailer Marketing Information on behalf of Bank shall destroy all Retailer Marketing Information or return it to Retailer.
     (c) PCI Compliance
A new Section 8.4 is added, as follows:
8.4 Data Security
(a) Bank specifically agrees to (A) use up-to-date antivirus tools to remove known malicious functionalities from any data transmitted to Retailer; (B) use up-to-date antivirus tools to prevent the transmission of attacks on Retailer via the network connections between Retailer and the Bank; and (C) prevent unauthorized access to Retailer’s systems via Bank’s networks and access codes.
(b) Retailer specifically agrees to (A) use up-to-date antivirus tools to remove known malicious functionalities from any data transmitted to Bank; (B) use up-to-date antivirus tools to prevent the transmission of attacks on Bank via the network connections between Bank and Retailer; and (C) prevent unauthorized access to Bank’s systems via Retailer’s networks and access codes.
(c) Bank accepts full responsibility for adequately securing any Program Consumer Information in its possession, and will hold Retailer harmless from any breach of such data from Bank’s systems or any system of any service provider of Bank.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Bank warrants that it has developed a commercially reasonable plan to comply with the

 

 

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI) with respect to Program Consumer Information and warrants that Bank will fully implement its compliance plan by no later than July 1, 2009. Extensions of this date will only be made for substantial causes that are outside the control of Bank as judged from an objective basis. Bank agrees that it will, at Retailer’s request, provide quarterly comprehensive updates as to the extent and nature of work completed and work yet to be done, with the first such report to be provided by December 31, 2008.
(d) Retailer accepts full responsibility for adequately securing any Program Consumer Information in its possession, and will hold Bank harmless from any breach of such data from Retailer’s systems.
(e) In addition to the foregoing and any other provisions of this Agreement, the parties mutually agree, that immediately upon discovery or notification of any actual security breach or reasonably suspected breach (i.e., unauthorized or improper access or use of customer data, inclusive of lost or misplaced data) involving any information about Bank customers (where such information is held by the Retailer or its agents, subcontractors or service providers) or about Retailer’s customers (where such information is held by the Bank or its agents, subcontractors or service providers), the Breached Party shall notify the non- Breached Party of such breach. The Breached Party shall also provide the non-Breached Party with a detailed description of the incident, the type of customer information that was the subject of the security breach, inclusive of each specific data element, the identity of the affected customers, and any other information the non-Breached Party may request concerning the customers or the details of the breach, as soon as such information can be collected or otherwise becomes available. In close coordination with the non-Breached Party, the Breached Party agrees to take action immediately, at its own expense, to investigate the incident and to identify, prevent and mitigate the effects of any such security breach, and to carry out any recovery necessary to remedy the impact, subject to any delay occasioned by law enforcement requests. While coordinating closely with the non-Breached Party, it remains the responsibility of the Breached Party to provide an appropriate notice to the customers affected if the circumstances of the unauthorized access lead the non-Breached Party to determine that such notice is required for business or reputational reasons or by applicable federal or state law. The non-Breached Party, in its sole discretion, may opt to give the actual notice to the customer, in which event the costs of issuing such notice will be borne by the Breached Party. In the event notice is delayed due to law enforcement requests, then the Breached Party shall notify

 

 

appropriate customers if and when the law enforcement entity advises that notification will no longer interfere with such investigation. While the Parties will coordinate as to the content of the customer notice, it should comply in all material respects with the Interagency Guidance on Response Programs for Unauthorized Access to Customer Information and Customer Notice (as published in Federal Register March 29, 2005) and any other applicable federal and/or state law.
(f) Bank shall treat Program Consumer Information with at least the level of security that Bank applies to its own confidential information. No electronic transmissions of Program Consumer Information may occur other than through a secure line or in encrypted form. Except for backup of Program Consumer Information that Bank moves to a secondary disaster recovery site and/or an offsite storage facility, and the sharing of information with merchants in support of payment research, any physical removal of Program Consumer Information, irrespective of whether in electronic or hard-copy form, should be processed according to appropriate administrative, technical and physical security measures.
(g) Retailer shall treat Program Consumer Information with at least the level of security that Retailer applies to its own confidential information. No electronic transmissions of Program Consumer Information may occur other than through a secure line or in encrypted form. Except for backup of Program Consumer Information that Retailer moves to a secondary disaster recovery site and/or an offsite storage facility, and the sharing of information with merchants in support of payment research, any physical removal of Program Consumer Information, irrespective of whether in electronic or hard-copy form, should be processed according to appropriate administrative, technical and physical security measures.
(h) Bank will provide Retailer’s legal department and Retailer’s information systems security group copies of its own data privacy and security policies as they relate to the Program or Program Consumer Information at the request of Retailer’s legal department.
(i) Retailer will provide Bank’s legal department and Bank’s information systems security group copies of its own data privacy and security policies as they relate to the Program or Program Consumer Information at the request of Bank’s legal department.

If Retailer decides to suspend the Program, Retailer shall effectuate such suspension within 24 hours of such decision, and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume the Program at the affected Participating Stores within sixty (60) days following the suspension; provided, that (i) nothing in the Agreement shall obligate a Party to agree to the resumption of the Program at affected Participating Stores without its prior written consent, and (ii) if the Parties are unable to agree to the manner in which the Program may be resumed within sixty (60) days after any Party first requests in writing that the Parties negotiate, then, each Party shall have the right to terminate the Program as to the Participating Stores affected by the Applicable Law, in which case such Stores shall no longer be Participating Stores, by providing at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other Parties.

Upon the effective date of such termination, the Intermediary Services shall be provided by one or more parties selected by Retailer and approved by Bank, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Green Dot shall provide all such information to Retailer’s designee within fifteen (15) business days of such request.

          For each of the [***] and the [***], the parties shall determine a single, blended [***] percentage that would be [***] by Bank [***] by making the following calculations:
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

          (a) For the blended [***], based on the Annual Sales Forecast: (i) take each percentage rate that would be applied from the table, (ii) multiply each such rate by the Prepaid Card sales volume to which it would be applied, (iii) adding together each such product, and (iv) divide the resulting sum by the total volume.. For example, if in Period One the Prepaid Card Forecast is [***], the [***] would be [***]% (i.e. (i) the sum of [***]% times [***] plus [***]% times [***], divided by (ii) [***]).
          (b) For the blended Card Revenue [***], based on the Annual Program Revenue Forecast, (i) take each percentage rate that would be applied from the table, (ii) multiply each such rate by the Program Revenue to which it would be applied, (iii) adding together each such product, and (iv) divide the resulting sum by the total Program Revenue. For example, if in Period One the Annual Program Revenue Forecast is $[***], the [***] would be [***]% (i.e. (i) the sum of [***]% times $[***]plus [***]% times $[***], divided by (ii) $[***]).
     The forecasted Program Revenue for each Program Quarter shall be multiplied by the Card Sale [***] or the Card Revenue [***], whichever is higher (the “[***]”) to derive an estimated aggregate amount of [***] to [***] in the Program Quarter (the “[***]”). Unless otherwise agreed by Retailer in writing, the [***] shall be divided by the total number of Prepaid Card sales and sales of POS Loads to Prepaid Cards at Participating Stores in the Sales Forecast for the Program Quarter. The quotient shall be the “[***]”.
     (4) Within [***] after the end of each month, Bank shall pay to Retailer an amount equal to the [***] times the actual aggregate sales of Prepaid Cards and POS Loads to Prepaid Cards at Participating Stores in the preceding month.
(B) Within [***] after the end of each Program Quarter, the Parties shall determine the actual amount payable by Bank to Retailer, and shall make an interim true-up payment between themselves as follows: The actual Program Revenue for such Program Quarter shall be multiplied by the new [***] as determined by the Parties as a result of adjusting the Annual Sales Forecast and the Annual Program Revenue Forecast. The product shall be the “[***]”. If the [***] is more than the sum of [***] made by Bank [***] under paragraph (b), Bank shall [***]. If the [***] is less than the sum of [***] made by Bank [***] under paragraph (b) above [***] to Bank.
(C) Within [***] after the end of each Program Year, the Parties shall determine the actual amount payable by Bank to Retailer, and shall make a final true-up payment between themselves as follows: The [***] for the Program Year shall be determined as a blended rate based on the methodology described in paragraph (A) above, and shall be multiplied by the actual Program Revenue for the Program Year. The product shall be the “[***]”. If the [***] is more than the sum of the [***]
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

made by Bank [***] during the Program Year under paragraph (b), as adjusted by the interim true-ups under paragraph (c), Bank shall [***] to [***]. If the [***] is less than such adjusted payments to Retailer, [***] shall [***] to Bank.
(D) If, on or after the Amendment Effective Date, Prepaid Card fees or pricing vary for any reason from the fees and pricing shown in the Base Fee Schedule, Bank and Retailer shall [***] to be paid to Retailer beginning on the date(s) on which such variance takes effect, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) in connection with such variance, the Parties shall [***] new [***] according to each Prepaid Card Sales Volume Tier and each Program Revenue Tier in accordance with the methodology established under this Agreement for price and fee variance, which methodology assumes (a) Retailer’s revenue share adjustment shall be calculated based upon Retailer bearing or benefitting from [***] percent ([***]%) of such economic impact, as applicable and as described in the examples set forth in Exhibit A to this Schedule 5.2; and (b) that in any Program Year, Retailer shall bear no more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the total of such impact during such Program Year; and (ii) the [***] shall remain in effect only until another variance occurs, at which time the Parties again shall undertake the process described in this paragraph (D) to determine the [***] and (iii) the Parties shall establish new Prepaid Card Program Revenue Tiers for each Program Year based on the percentage change in the lifetime Program Revenue generated by the average Prepaid Card caused by such variance. For example, as of the Amendment Effective Date, calculations shall be based on the fees and prices in the Base Fee Schedule, and the lifetime Program Revenue generated by the average Prepaid Card is projected to be $[***]. An initial adjustment, based on the fees and prices in the Amended Fee Schedule, projects lifetime Program Revenue equal to approximately $[***]. Accordingly, each Program Year Prepaid Card Revenue Tier in this case would be decreased by [***]% as of the Amendment Effective Date.
(e) The Parties may mutually agree at any time to modify the processes described in this Schedule 5.2 in order to more accurately forecast revenue share and facilitate accounting and settlement procedures.

(d) The following shall be added to the end of Section (A)(2) of Schedule 5.2:
For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Projected Behavioral Curve Revenue” shall mean for any Program Year the projected Program Revenue based on (i) actual Prepaid Card sales, (ii) the 36-month behavioral factors set forth in column (A) in the table at the end of this paragraph (each a “Behavioral Factor” and together, the “Behavioral Factors”) and (iii) the lifetime expected behaviors described in column (B) in the table at the end of this paragraph (the “Lifetime Expected Behaviors”), which show the accrual of the relevant fees during the relevant 36-month period, as illustrated in Exhibit A-1 to this Fourth Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (C), in the event that actual Program Revenue exceeds Projected Behavioral Curve Revenue during any Program Year, the “Actual Commission Earned” by [***] shall be the [***] of (x) the [***], based on actual Program Revenue for the Program Year, determined in accordance with this Schedule 5.2, [***] by the [***]; or (y) the sum of (i) the [***], based on actual Prepaid Card sales for the Program Year , determined in accordance with this Schedule 5.2, [***] by the [***], plus (ii) an amount equal to [***] times the [***] that is calculated by subtracting the actual Program Revenue from the Projected Behavioral Curve Revenue. An example of Actual Commission Earned based on the calculation set forth in clause (y) is attached as Exhibit A-2.
The Behavioral Factors used to calculate Lifetime System Revenue at program inception are set forth below. For purposes of calculating then-current actual Program Revenue, Behavioral Factor(s) may be deleted and new factors may be added as Behavioral Factor(s) at any time due to changes in new or deleted revenue sources upon written request of a Party, subject to the approval of the

(e) The Parties agree that the [***]% cap on the impact in a Program Year of a net decrease in Prepaid Card Fees or Reload Fees, established in the proviso in Section 1.5(d)(i)(C), shall be calculated as follows:
At the end of the applicable Program Year, the parties will calculate actual, post “price variance” Program Revenue for that Program Year (A) and calculate a notional Program Revenue based on actual card sales and transactions for all Program Revenue components at pricing outlined in the Base Fee Schedule in Schedule 5.2 (B). The difference between actual Program Revenue and notional Program Revenue (A-B) is then multiplied by [***] percent ([***]%) to arrive at a notional impact of pricing variations on Program Revenue (C). The parties will also calculate a notional Commission Rate (unadjusted for any price variance) based on actual card sales and the Card Sales Volume Tiers or the Card Program Revenue Tiers listed in Section (A)(2) of Schedule 5.2 (D). The parties will then calculate a notional revenue share amount (E) by multiplying notional program revenue (B) by the notional Commission Rate (D). Finally, the notional impact of pricing variations to Program Revenue (C) will be added to the notional revenue share amount (E) to determine the minimum revenue share amount owed to [***] for the given program year (F). If the sum of payments during any Program Year is less than (F) then [***] will pay the
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

difference to [***] within [***] business days of the end of said Program Year. For purposes of the calculation set forth herein, the first “Program Year” shall be the period between February 18, 2009 and October 31, 2009. An example of the calculation set forth herein is attached as Exhibit A-3.
(f) The last two paragraphs of Section (A) of Schedule 5.2 are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
(3) The actual Program Revenue for each calendar month during the term (a “Program Month”) shall be multiplied by the [***] or the [***], whichever is higher (the “Commission Rate”) to derive the aggregate amount of commissions payable to [***] in such Program Month (the “Monthly Aggregate Commission Amount”).
(4) Within [***] Business Days after the end of each month, Bank shall pay to [***] an amount equal to the Monthly Aggregate Commission Amount.
(g) Bank agrees to pay [***] a [***] in any month from July 2009 to January 2010, inclusive, where new Prepaid Card sales by Retailer in such month exceed [***] units. Each such bonus, if earned, shall be in the amount of [***] ($[***]), except that the bonus, if any, payable with respect to the month of January 2010 shall be [***] ($[***]). Each bonus earned shall be payable within [***] Business Days after the end of each month. The aggregate amount of such bonuses paid by Bank shall not exceed [***] ($[***]).
(h) Bank agrees to contribute [***] ($[***]) towards a [***] mutually agreeable to Bank, Retailer and Green Dot, provided that an additional [***] ($[***]) is contributed thereto by Retailer and / or third parties (e.g., Visa) and that such contribution by Retailer or third parties is made on or before November 1, 2010. Such contribution by Bank shall be due and payable within [***] days of Retailer’s or such third party’s contribution.
3. GD Card Amendments
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

     (a) Columbus Bank & Trust Company (“CB & T”) and GD have entered into an arrangement under which (i) CB & T participates in the GD Network to market and distribute Card Products issued by CB & T and branded with the “Green Dot” name (“GD Cards”, and (ii) Green Dot is authorized by CB &T to market and distribute GD Cards on its behalf. Green Dot hereby grants to Retailer a [***] right to market, promote, distribute and sell GD Cards in approximately [***] Participating Stores, as mutually agreed upon in writing by Green Dot and Retailer (the “Pilot Participating Stores”). [***] shall be the provider of debit transaction network services for the GD Cards.
     (b) In addition to the activities described in Section 4.5 of the Agreement, Retailer also shall serve as the agent of Green Dot for the limited purpose of marketing and selling GD Cards at Pilot Participating Stores. Retailer shall distribute, promote and sell such GD Cards for [***] days beginning on a date mutually agreed by the Parties (the “GD Card Pilot Program”). All out-of-pocket costs and expenses for such distribution, promotion and sales (including, without limitation, the cost of packaging, GD Card terms, and GD Card collateral, and the cost of collecting unsold GD Card inventory) shall be borne by [***]. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to launch the GD Card Pilot Program during Retailer’s first fiscal quarter in [***]. Nothing herein shall obligate Retailer to sell such GD Cards beyond such test period. Bank hereby consents to the sale of such GD Cards as part of the GD Card Pilot Program, and waives any right of first refusal it may have with respect to the issuance thereof. Such waiver and consent shall not be applicable beyond such GD Card Pilot Program. For clarification purposes only, the parties agree that, even should Retailer decline to continue selling GD Cards following the end of GD Card Pilot Program, Retailer shall [***] following the end of GD Card Pilot Program with respect to all GD Cards sold during such pilot period, in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
     (c) GD Cards shall initially be loaded through a POS Load at a Participating Store. GD Cards may be reloaded by cardholders through POS Loads at GD Merchants, and through the purchase of Reload Packs from GD Merchants, as applicable, provided that Green Dot and Retailer acknowledge that not all GD Merchants will offer the operational capability for POS Loads. Transactions in which a cardholder purchases a Reload Pack or makes a POS Load in the GD Network shall involve a customer relationship between that cardholder and Green Dot to the extent provided under Applicable Law.
     (d) [***] shall be [***] responsible for payment of commissions to [***] with respect to the GD Card (“GD Card Commissions”), and with respect to sales of Reload Packs in the GD Card Pilot Program. Commissions on sales of Reload Packs shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.3(c) of the Agreement. GD Card Commissions shall be based on the commission and revenue sharing structure described in Schedule 5.2, as follows:
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

               (i) For purposes of calculating GD Card Commissions, the term “Pilot Program Revenue” means for a period, the sum of [***] (including [***]) charged to GD Cardholders in connection with purchasing, loading or using GD Cards, [***] received by [***] from [***] for [***] GD Cards, and all other [***] derived from GD Cards (in each case, net of waivers and reversals and adjustments), and all other [***] the [***], excluding (i) [***] on [***], (ii) [***] (including [***] applied to [***]), and (iii) [***] to GD Cards [***].
               (ii) The Pilot Program Revenue each calendar month shall be multiplied by the Commission Rate, calculated for the month in accordance with Schedule 5.2, to derive the [***] of [***] in such month (the “[***]”). Within [***] Business Days after the end of each month, [***] shall pay to [***] an amount equal to the [***].
               (iii) Within [***] Business Days after the end of the Program Year(s) in which the GD Card Pilot Program occurs, Green Dot and Retailer shall make a final true-up payment between themselves as follows: The Commission Rate for the applicable Program Year, determined in accordance with Schedule 5.2, shall be multiplied by the Pilot Program Revenue for the GD Card Pilot Program. The product shall be the “Actual GD Card Commissions Earned”. If the Actual GD Card Commissions earned are more than the sum of the GD Card Commission payments already made to Retailer during the GD Pilot Program for that Program Year, [***]. If the Actual GD Card Commissions Earned are less than the GD Card Commission [***] already made to Retailer that Program Year, then [***].
               (iv) Commission for sales of GD Cards shall be calculated separately from commissions with respect to Prepaid Cards. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) [***] under Schedule 4.4(d); and (y) sales of GD Cards and revenue derived from GD Cards shall not affect the calculation of any sales volume or Program revenue tiers under Schedule 5.2.
               (e) Section 4.10(a) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with following:
     (a) Bank agrees to serve in the limited capacity as intermediary for transmitting between Retailer and Green Dot: (i) data regarding Reload Pack Sales by Retailer (“Reload Pack Data”), and funds relating to such sales (“Reload Pack Funds”), (ii) data regarding POS Loads at Retailer’s Participating Stores (“POS Load Data”) and funds relating to such POS Loads at Participating Stores (“POS Load Funds”), (iii) data regarding GD Card sales by Retailer (“GD Card Data”), and funds relating to such sales (“GD Card Funds”), (iv) the Daily Report described in Section 6.1, and (v) commissions as described in Section 6.3, in each case in accordance with the procedures agreed upon from time to time in writing by the Parties. The
 
***   Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission

 

 

foregoing transmission of Reload Pack Data, POS Load Data, and GD Card Data (collectively, “GD Network Data”), Reload Pack Funds, POS Load Funds, and GD Card Funds (collectively, “GD Network Funds”), and such commissions is sometimes referred to herein as the “Intermediary Services”, and shall be integrated into the systems of the Parties in a manner mutually agreed upon by the Parties to reduce administrative burdens on Retailer.
     (f) From the Amendment Effective Date until the last date on which a GD Card is sold in a Pilot Participating Store, Green Dot hereby represents and warrants that it is the duly authorized agent of CB & T for purposes of marketing and distributing GD Cards, and that it has the authority to appoint [***] as [***] for purposes of marketing and distributing GD Cards.
     (g) The sale of GD Cards shall be deemed part of the “Load Program” for purposes of Section 3.1(e), Section 4.7, Section 4.8, and Section 12.1 of the Agreement. In addition, Pilot Participating Stores shall be considered “Participating Stores” for purposes of Section 4.11.
     (h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the Agreement (i) the GD Cards shall not be deemed Prepaid Cards, Temporary Prepaid Cards or Permanent Prepaid Cards; (ii) holders of GD Cards shall not be deemed Cardholders; (iii) the GD Cards shall not be part of the Card Program; and (iv) except with respect to the Intermediary Services, Bank shall have no obligations or liability to Retailer, Green Dot or any third party with respect to the GD Card.
     (i) This Fourth Amendment, the amended Appointment Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto, and that certain Supplier Agreement dated September 14, 2006 between Bank and Green Dot represent the entire agreement of Retailer and Green Dot with respect to the GD Cards. Retailer and Green Dot shall not amend or modify such agreements or enter into any other agreements with respect to the GD Card without the prior written consent of each Party.
     4. Continuation; Inconsistency; Counterparts. Except as expressly amended or supplemented hereby, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Fourth Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this Fourth Amendment shall control. This Fourth Amendment may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together constitute one and the same agreement. The Parties may execute and deliver this Fourth Amendment electronically, including by facsimile.
