NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective
Date, the Company hereby issues to the Recipient, and the Recipient hereby acquires from the
Company, an aggregate of two million two hundred eight thousand five hundred fifty-two (2,208,552)
shares of Class A Common Stock in partial consideration of the Recipient’s entry into the Card

transaction.
2. DELIVERY.
2.1. Recipient hereby delivers to the Company: (a) a duly executed copy of the Card Agreement
Amendment; (b) a duly executed copy of this Agreement; (c) a lock-up agreement in the form of
Exhibit 1 attached hereto (the “Lock-up Agreement”); (d) a duly executed copy of

Company under this Section 2.1, entries for the Recipient representing uncertificated Shares in the
name of the Recipient, registered in Recipient’s name, shall be made by the Company’s stock
transfer agent, if any, in the Company’s direct registration system for stock issuance and
transfer, with appropriate notation made in such system of the restrictions on transfer and
accompanying legends set forth in Sections 4.7 and 5.1(d), as applicable (collectively, the
“Restrictions”), or if the Company transfers its own securities, by the Company in its own
records, with appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. As soon as practicable
following the lapse or removal of any Restriction(s) with respect to any Shares, the Company’s
stock transfer agent, if any, shall be instructed by the Company to indicate in the Company’s
direct registration system that the applicable Restriction(s) on such Shares has lapsed or has been
removed or if the Company transfers its own securities, it shall make appropriate notations to the
same effect in its own records. Following the earlier of (i) the IPO Date (as defined below) and
(ii) the date that the Company no longer serves as its own transfer agent, the Company shall take
all actions reasonably requested by the Recipient to facilitate the transfer of Vested Shares (as
defined below) into an account or accounts designated by the Recipient, it being acknowledged and
agreed that, in connection with any such transfer, the Company may require an opinion of counsel of
the Recipient pursuant to Section 4.8 and the Recipient will only transfer Vested Shares into
“street name” if it arranges for the Company to receive from the broker or transfer agent, as the
case may be, a copy of all account statements on the account in which such shares are held,
provided that such account statements are provided at least on a quarterly basis, or such more
frequent basis as is the ordinary course for the broker or transfer agent. Following the date of
any such transfer into “street name,” the Recipient shall ensure that the Company promptly receives
copies of all account statements at least on a quarterly basis (or such more frequent basis as is
the ordinary course for the broker or transfer agent) for any and all accounts in which such shares
are held, including any account or accounts into which such shares are subsequently transferred.
2.2. Within a reasonable time after the issuance of the Shares, the Company shall send to the
Recipient a written notice (the “Ownership Statement”) containing the information required
by Section 151(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law in respect of uncertificated shares of
capital stock, setting forth, among other things, the number of Shares issued pursuant to the
Agreement and the legends set forth in Sections 4.7 and 5.1(d), as applicable.

the authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the
Recipient under, this Agreement, and necessary for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby has been taken. The execution, delivery and performance by the Recipient of

Recipient’s representations set forth in this Agreement. The Recipient understands that the Shares
being purchased hereunder are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act;
and that the Shares are not registered and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered or an exemption from such registration is available.
4.6. Accredited Investor. The Recipient is a “qualified institutional buyer” as
defined in Rule 144A under the Act.

a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR
5
UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE
OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE
ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY, IS AVAILABLE. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE
FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.
4.8. Removal of Restrictive Legend. The legend set forth above shall be removed by
the Company upon delivery to the Company of an opinion by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that a registration statement under the Act is at that time in effect with respect to the
legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a
registration statement being in effect.
5. VESTING AND RESALE CONDITIONS.
5.1. Company’s Repurchase Option for Unvested Shares. The Company, or its assignee,
shall have the option to repurchase all or a portion of the Recipient’s Unvested Shares (as defined
in Section 5.1(a) below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Repurchase
Option”) if the Company and the Recipient are no longer Engaged (as defined below).
(a) Shares that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in this Section 5.1(a) are
“Vested Shares.” Shares that are not vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in this
Section 5.1(a) are “Unvested Shares.” Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise
transferred by Recipient without the Company’s prior written consent. On the Effective Date, all
of the Shares will be Unvested Shares. If the Company and the Recipient are continuously Engaged
at all times from the Effective Date through June 1, 2010 (the “First Vesting Date”), then
on the First Vesting Date thirty-six thousand eight hundred ten (36,810) of the Shares (as adjusted
for any Recapitalization Event) will become Vested Shares; and thereafter, for so long (and only
for so long) as the Company and the Recipient are continuously Engaged at all times after the First
Vesting Date, an additional thirty-six thousand eight hundred ten (36,810) of the Shares (as
adjusted for any Recapitalization Event) will become Vested Shares on each monthly anniversary of
the Effective Date, except for the last month in such vesting period, at the end of which last
month the balance of Unvested Shares shall become fully Vested Shares. No Shares will become
Vested Shares after the Termination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term
“Engaged” means the Card Agreement, as amended by the Card Agreement Amendment, as the same
may be further amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Amended Card Agreement”) has
not been terminated other than as a result of the exercise of a termination right thereunder
arising from the Company’s knowing, intentional and material breach of the Amended Card Agreement
and (ii) the term “Termination Date” means the “Agreement Termination Date” as
defined under the Amended Card Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the
Amended Card Agreement is terminated other than as a result of the exercise of a termination right
thereunder arising from the Company’s knowing, intentional and material breach of the Amended Card
Agreement, the Company and the Recipient shall be deemed to be
6
“Engaged” through and including the Termination Date. With respect to any decision (a
“Decision”) by the Company to take or (fail to take) any action in the Amended Card
Agreement that would give rise to the right of any other party thereto to terminate the Amended
Card Agreement (a “Termination”), the Company agrees (i) not to consider in any respect in
connection with any such Decision the impact of a potential Termination on this Section 5.1(a) and
(ii) any such Decision will only be made in good faith and based exclusively on facts,
circumstances and information other than the impact of a potential Termination on this Section
5.1(a). In the event that the Company breaches the immediately preceding sentence and the Amended
Card Agreement is terminated, the Company and the Recipient will be deemed to be continuously
Engaged for purposes of this Section 5.1(a) notwithstanding such termination. Notwithstanding
anything else in this Section, if the Amended Card Agreement is terminated by Bank (as defined
therein), or by Company or Recipient due to Bank breach, Company and Recipient shall use good
faith efforts to designate a Replacement Bank (as defined under the Amended Card Agreement) and if
Company and Recipient continue the Program with the Replacement Bank under the existing terms of
the Amended Card Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the Company and Recipient shall
continue to be deemed “Engaged” during the period the parties are seeking to designate a
Replacement Bank and while the Program (or replacement program) is continuing with such Replacement
Bank.
(b) At any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Termination Date, the Company,
or its assignee(s), may elect to repurchase any or all of the Recipient’s Unvested Shares at
purchase price equal to one cent ($0.01) per Unvested Share (as adjusted for any Recapitalization
Event) (the “Repurchase Price”) by giving the Recipient written notice of exercise of the
Repurchase Option.
(c) Payment of the Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares will be payable, at the option of
the Company and/or its assignee(s) (as applicable) by check or by wire transfer. The Repurchase
Price will be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after exercise of the Repurchase Option.
(d) The Recipient understands that the book entry evidencing the Unvested Shares and the
Ownership Statement shall be noted by the stock transfer agent with a legend substantially in the
following form:
THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND
TRANSFER, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF REPURCHASE HELD BY THE ISSUER, AS SET FORTH IN A CLASS A
COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL REGISTERED OWNER OF
THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH
RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
(e) The legend set forth in Section 5.1(d) above shall be promptly removed by the Company with
respect to Unvested Shares that become Vested Shares.
7
5.2. Volume Limitations.
(a) The Recipient hereby agrees that at all times during the period commencing with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement until December 24, 2012, subject to Section 5.2(b), the
Recipient shall not cause or permit any Transfer (as defined below) of any of the Shares to be
effected, or discuss, negotiate or make any offer regarding any Transfer of any of the Shares. For
purposes of this Agreement, Recipient shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of a
Share if such person directly or indirectly (i) sells, pledges, encumbers, grants an option with
respect to, transfers or otherwise disposes of such security or any interest therein, or (ii)
enters into an agreement or commitment providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of, grant
of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such security or any interest therein.
(b) Section 5.2(a) shall not apply to the Recipient’s Transfer of: (i) up to a total of two
hundred eighty-six thousand (286,000) Vested Shares (as adjusted (x) pursuant to the last sentence
of this Section 5.2(b) and (y) for any Recapitalization Event) in each consecutive six-month period
beginning on the first day following the end of the Lock-Up Restriction Period (as defined below)
(each, a “Semi-Annual Allowance”); or (ii) any Vested Shares to another corporation,
partnership or other business entity that is a controlled or managed affiliate of the Recipient,
provided that, in the case of clause (ii), it shall be a condition of transfer or distribution that
(A) there shall be no disposition for value, and (B) each transferee or distributee agrees to
assume the obligations of the Recipient hereunder with respect to any Vested Shares so transferred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient shall be permitted to Transfer any amount of Vested
Shares in excess of the Semi-Annual Allowance (“Excess Shares”) in any corresponding
six-month period defined pursuant to clause (i) above (each, an “Allowance Period”), so
long as the Recipient pays the Company twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per Excess Share (each as
adjusted for any Recapitalization Event) within five (5) business days following the Transfer
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the last day of the Lock-up Restriction
Period (the “Lock-Up End Date”) is later than the later of (1) December 24, 2010 and (2)
the last day to which the restrictions imposed by the Lock-up Agreement are extended pursuant to
the sixth paragraph of the Lock-up Agreement, if such extension occurs with respect to a Lock-up
Period (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement) that would have otherwise expired on or before
December 25, 2010 (such date that is the later of (1) and (2) being referred to herein as the
“Final Date”), then each Semi-Annual Allowance shall be increased by a number of shares
equal to (x) the product of (1) 47,667 multiplied by (2) the number of months (with a
partial month being rounded up to the nearest whole month) by which the Lock-Up End Date is later
than the Final Date, divided by (y) the number of Allowance Periods (including a partial
Allowance Period) remaining before (and including) December 24, 2012. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Lock-up Restriction Period” means the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending on the later of the first day following the later of (1) the end of the
Lock-up Period (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement) and (2) the last day to which the restrictions
imposed by the Lock-up Agreement are extended pursuant to the sixth paragraph of the Lock-up
Agreement. In the event that the Lock-up Agreement terminates pursuant to the last paragraph
thereof and an alternative lock-up agreement is entered into between the Recipient and the
Company’s underwriters, the parties agree to revise this Section 5.2(b) in good faith to implement
a mechanism similar to that set forth above to adjust the Semi-Annual Allowance as necessary to
preserve the intent of this provision, taken together with the Lock-up Agreement.
8
5.3. Stop-Transfer Instructions; Refusal to Transfer.
(a) Recipient agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this
Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its stock transfer
agent, if any, or if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to
the same effect in its own records.
(b) The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been
sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to
treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends, to any Recipient or
other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred.
5.4. Right to Terminate Card Agreement Unaffected. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to limit or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company
or the Recipient to terminate the Card Agreement, as amended by the Card Agreement Amendment, or
any other relationship between the Recipient and the Company at any time pursuant to the terms
thereof.
5.5. Change of Control. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, upon the
consummation of a Prohibited Change of Control (as defined in the Amended Card Agreement) or a
Change of Control (as defined below): (i) all of the Shares shall immediately and automatically
become Vested Shares for all purposes of this Agreement and (ii) Section 5.2(a) shall no longer be
of any force or effect and the Recipient shall be free to effect Transfers of the Shares without
limitation (subject to applicable law). For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Change of
Control” shall mean: (A) a merger, share exchange, business combination or similar extraordinary
transaction as a result of which the persons possessing, immediately prior to the consummation of
such transaction, beneficial ownership of the voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in elections of directors of the Company, would cease to possess, immediately after
consummation of such transaction, beneficial ownership of voting securities entitling them to
exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all outstanding securities entitled to vote
generally in elections of directors of the Company (or, if not the Company, the surviving person
resulting from such transaction) or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis).
6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The issuance and transfer of the Shares will
be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Recipient with all applicable
state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange
or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Class A Common Stock may be listed or quoted
at the time of such issuance or transfer.
7. COVENANTS.
7.1. Registration Rights. The Recipient shall become a party to, and have
registration rights as set forth in, the Eighth Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement,
dated as of March 31, 2010, pursuant to an amendment and restatement of such agreement entered into
and effective as of the Effective Date.
9
7.2. Further Assurances.
(a) Prior to the earlier of (i) the completion of a “Qualified Initial Public Offering” (as
such term is defined in the Certificate) and (ii) the completion of the “Public Offering” (as
defined in the Lock-up Agreement) (such date that is the earlier of (i) and (ii) being referred to
herein as the “IPO Date”), without the Recipient’s prior written consent, the Company shall
not (A) amend the Certificate in a way that materially, adversely and disproportionately affects
the holders of Class A Common Stock as compared with the holders of Class B Common Stock or (B)
issue “Additional Shares” (as such term is defined below) at a price per share that is less than
the Effective Date FMV (as defined below).

of any series of Preferred Stock the Conversion Price of which may be subject to adjustment upon
the issuance of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock agree in writing that such shares
shall not constitute Additional Shares with respect to such series of Preferred Stock; provided,
however, that the consent of holders of Preferred Stock that participate directly or indirectly
(including by way of any affiliate of such holders) in the related financing shall not be counted
in favor of a determination under this clause (ix) that the shares issued in such financing do not
constitute Additional Shares; and
(x) shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B
Common Stock (but only to the extent that such shares of Class A Common Stock are described in
Section 3.4 of this Agreement).
All capitalized terms contained in this Section 7.2(b) shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Certificate (except for the terms “Agreement,” “Certificate,” and “Effective Date” which are
defined in this Class A Common Stock Issuance Agreement).
7.3. Tax Matters.
(a) The Company understands that Recipient may make the election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the “Section 83(b) Election”) with respect to some or all of the
Shares (the “Section 83(b) Shares”). The Company shall furnish, or cause any transfer
agent of the Company to furnish, such documentation reflecting Recipients ownership of Shares, as
is reasonably requested by the Recipient in connection with the Section 83(b) Election.
(b) Recipient and the Company agree that the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Shares
on the date hereof is $32.23 per share (the “Effective Date FMV”).
(c) If no Section 83(b) Election is made, the Recipient and the Company agree to discuss
within ten (10) business days following the end of each calendar quarter that occurs prior to the
IPO Date the FMV of the Shares that became Vested Shares during such quarter. The Company agrees
to obtain quarterly valuations (the “Quarterly Valuations”) of its common stock by a
nationally-recognized qualified independent appraiser for purposes of qualifying for the “safe
harbor” provisions under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
Company agrees to discuss with Recipient any concerns the Recipient may have with the independent
appraiser selected by the Company. After the IPO Date, Recipient and the Company agree that the
FMV of the Shares that become Vested Shares will be based on the trading price of the Company stock
on the day on which such Shares become Vested Shares. Promptly (and in no event more than 5 days)
following execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the Recipient a true, correct
and complete copy of the most recent valuation of its common stock, and until the IPO Date, the
Company will deliver to the Recipient true, correct and complete copies of the Quarterly Valuations
obtained pursuant to this Section 7.3(c).
11
(d) Recipient and the Company agree to file all of their respective income tax returns
consistently in accordance with the FMV determined under Section 7.3(b) and (c).
7.4. Bank Holding Company Matters.
(a) If the Amended Card Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15.3(p) thereof (a
“Qualified Termination”) then: (i) this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of the
notice of the Qualified Termination delivered pursuant to the Amended Card Agreement (the “Put
Option Commencement Date”), (ii) Section 5.2(a) shall no longer be of any force or effect and
the Recipient shall be free to effect Transfers of the Shares without limitation (subject to
applicable law) and (iii) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Recipient will
have the right (the “Put Option”) to require the Company to repurchase all of the
Recipient’s Vested Shares, at a purchase price per Share (as adjusted for any Recapitalization
Event) equal to the FMV per Share as of the date the Put Option is exercised, as determined by the
Valuation Firm (as defined in Section 7.4(h), below) (the “Payment Amount”), payable in
cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or, to the extent that the Company does not
have sufficient cash on hand or available to it on commercially reasonable terms in order to
consummate the repurchase, the Company shall issue the Recipient a promissory note (the
“Note”) which is due and payable on the earliest to occur of (x) the twelve (12) month
anniversary of the date the Note is issued, (y) the IPO Date and (z) the date Company has
sufficient cash on hand or available to it on commercially reasonable terms in order to pay the
Note in full (the “Note Maturity Date”), with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to
2% in excess of the Prime Rate (as defined in Section 7.4(h), below) in effect on the date of the
issuance of the Note, and which rate shall adjust on the first day of each calendar quarter to the
Prime Rate then in effect). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
financing in order to repay the Note in full as soon as possible following issuance thereof. In
the event of a Qualified Termination, within five (5) business days of the Termination Date, the
Company shall also make a cash payment to the Recipient by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account or accounts designated by the Recipient in an amount equal to (A) the FMV per
Share (as of the date the Put Option is exercised as determined above) or, if the Recipient has
sold any Shares pursuant to this Section 7.4 after the IPO Date, the average price per share
received by the Recipient for such sales of Shares, multiplied by (B) the number of the Unvested
Shares that would have become Vested Shares from and after the Put Option Commencement Date and
prior to (and including) the Termination Date if this Agreement had not been terminated and the
Company and the Recipient were continuously Engaged during such period.
(b) The Recipient may only exercise the Put Option by delivering a notice to the Company, no
later than sixty (60) days following the Put Option Commencement Date (the “Final Exercise
Date”), of a completed and executed Put Option Subscription Form in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 3, and the Company shall be required to pay, within sixty (60)
days of its receipt of such notice, the Recipient the Payment Amount for each Vested Share
repurchased pursuant to the exercise of the Put Option.
(c) Clause (iii) of Section 7.4(a) shall no longer be of any force or effect and the Company
shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Recipient’s Vested Shares on or after (and the Put
Option (if any) shall terminate in full (to the extent not previously
12
exercised) upon) the earliest of (i) the IPO Date, (ii) the transfer of the Vested Shares held
by the Recipient other than pursuant to Section 7.4(d) and (iii) the day immediately following the
Final Exercise Date.
(d) The Put Option shall not be transferable by the Recipient, provided that the Put
Option may be transferred to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that is a
controlled or managed affiliate of the Recipient if and only if (i) it is transferred with the
underlying Vested Shares, (ii) there shall be no disposition for value in connection with such
transfer, and (iii) each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the provisions of this
Agreement as if the transferee were the “Recipient” hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the Company
is unable to consummate (for cash or the Note) the repurchase of any portion of the Vested Shares
on the date that the Put Option is exercised due to limitations imposed by the California
Corporations Code or Delaware General Corporation Law, then the Company shall only use funds
(and/or the Note) to the extent legally available to the Company to repurchase the maximum possible
number of such Vested Shares from the Recipient. Any Vested Shares not so purchased (the
“Remaining Shares”) shall be subject to Section 7.4(f), below.
(f) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Recipient in the
offering and sale of the Remaining Shares to one or more third parties, which efforts shall include
taking appropriate steps with respect to the marketing of such Remaining Shares, making its
management and employees available to participate in marketing and due diligence activities in
connection therewith, providing materials in response to reasonable due diligence requests (subject
to the execution of a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement) and preparing a customary
information memorandum describing the Company and its business, results and prospects.
(g) In the event that the Company or the Recipient receives, following the Effective Date,
notice from the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, DC
(the “Staff”) that the Staff would like to initiate discussions with the Company and/or the
Recipient with respect to whether the Recipient exercises a controlling influence over the
management or policies of the Company (“Control Issue”), the party hereto receiving such
notice shall notify the other party hereto within one (1) business day of the receipt of such
request and the Recipient and the Company shall each have the right to request meetings with the
Staff. The Recipient and the Company shall promptly inform each other of its discussions with the
Staff regarding the Control Issue. The Company and the Recipient shall, in good faith, explore
commercially reasonable modifications to this Agreement and other commercially reasonable
appropriate measures that could alleviate the concerns of the Staff, provided, however, that no
party hereto shall be obligated to enter into a modification of this Agreement or take other
measures that would adversely affect the economic and business assumptions of such party underlying
this Agreement. If either the Company or the Recipient thereafter receives notice from the Staff
that it intends to take the Control Issue to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the “Board”), then: (i) the party hereto receiving such notice shall notify the other
party hereto within one (1) business day of receipt of such notice and (ii) if the Company and the
Recipient reasonably determine that if the Amended Card Agreement is not terminated but the
Recipient divests the Shares, the Staff would not take the Control Issue
13
to the Board, then: (x) all of the Shares shall immediately and automatically become Vested
Shares for all purposes of this Agreement upon delivery of such notice and (y) Sections 7.4(a)(i),
(a)(ii), (a)(iii), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (i) shall apply, it being understood and agreed
that the Put Option shall not be available to the Recipient under this Section 7.4(g) upon and
following the IPO Date or, if earlier, the transfer described in clause (ii) of Section 7.4(c) (the
“Exit Trigger”). In the event of a Qualified Termination, then Section 7.4(a) and not this
Section 7.4(g) shall apply and, upon such a termination, all of the Recipient’s rights under this
Section 7.4(g) shall terminate in full without any further obligation of the Company.
(h) If, after the Put Option Commencement Date or the occurrence of the Exit Trigger, the
Lock-up Agreement (or any future lock-up agreement) prohibits the transfer of Shares by the
Recipient, the Company shall use its best efforts to (i) have the underwriters party to such
lock-up agreement waive or remove the restrictions on transfer of the Shares (both to third parties
and to the Company) imposed by such lock-up agreement as soon as is practicable and (ii) convince
the Staff to permit the Recipient to dispose of the Shares once the restrictions on transfer
imposed by such lock-up agreement have lapsed; provided, however, the parties
acknowledge that achievement of either (i) or (ii) shall satisfy the Company’s obligations under
this Section 7.4(h).
(i) For purposes of the foregoing, the “Prime Rate” on any day shall mean the rate
publicly announced on the business day preceding such date by The Wall Street Journal as the prime
lending rate for domestic commercial loans, except that, if The Wall Street Journal shall not
announce publicly a prime commercial lending (or equivalent) rate on such date, the Prime Rate
shall be determined based upon the arithmetic average of the rates of interest publicly announced
by three money center banks selected by the Recipient doing business in New York City as their
prime commercial lending rates. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Valuation Firm” shall
mean a nationally-recognized qualified appraiser that is mutually acceptable to the Company and the
Recipient acting reasonably and in good faith; provided, however, that if the
Company and the Recipient cannot agree on a firm within ten (10) business days, the Valuation Firm
shall be KPMG LLP, or its successor.

proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process
in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether
within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party

Re: Green Dot — Public Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, propose
to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Green Dot Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”)
by the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”),
of shares (the “Securities”) of the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Company (the “Common Stock”).
In consideration of the Underwriters’ agreement to purchase and make the Public Offering of
the Securities, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, the undersigned will not, during the period ending
180 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to the Public Offering
(the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
shares of Common Stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities
which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and
securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (2) enter into any
swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of
ownership of the Common Stock or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in
clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in
cash or otherwise.
The foregoing sentence shall not apply to transactions relating to:
(a) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock acquired in the Public Offering or in open market transactions
after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing with the Commission shall
be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or
such other securities;
(b) shares of Common Stock sold by the undersigned to the Underwriters pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement;
(c) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock (i) to an immediate family member or a trust formed for the benefit
of an immediate family member, (ii) by bona fide gift, will or intestacy, (iii) if the undersigned
is a corporation, partnership or other business entity (A) to another corporation, partnership or
other business entity that is a controlled or managed affiliate of the undersigned or (B) as part
of a disposition, transfer or distribution without consideration by the undersigned to its equity
holders or (iv) if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust, provided
that, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause (c), it shall be a
condition of transfer or distribution that (A) there shall be no disposition for value, (B) each
transferee, donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form
of this letter agreement and (C) no filing with the Commission shall be required or shall be made
voluntarily during the Lock-up Period in connection with any such transfer; or
(d) entering into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; provided that no sales of the Company’s securities shall occur under such
plan and no public disclosure of any such action shall be required or shall be voluntarily made by
any person during the Lock-up Period; or
(e) the exercise of options to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to employee benefit
plans disclosed in the Prospectus, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such
exercise shall be subject to the terms of this letter agreement.
For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” means any relationship by blood, marriage,
domestic partnership or adoption, no more remote than a first cousin.
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any
demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock
or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the
Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company
occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will
release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period,
the restrictions imposed by this letter agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of
the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the
material news or material event.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the
registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to
make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this
letter agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and
authority to enter into this letter agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be
conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns,
heirs and personal representatives of the undersigned.
The undersigned understands that the Underwriters are entering into the Underwriting Agreement
and proceeding with the Public Offering in reliance upon this letter agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this letter agreement will
terminate and the undersigned will be released from all of its obligations hereunder if (i) the
closing of the Public Offering shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2010, (ii) the
Company files an application to withdraw, and the Commission consents to the withdrawal of, the
registration statement related to the Public Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed
but is terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) prior to payment
for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder or (iii) the Representatives, on behalf
of the Underwriters, advising the Company, or the Company advising the Representatives, in writing,
prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that they have determined not to proceed with
the Public Offering.
This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Very truly yours, [NAME OF STOCKHOLDER] |
