INDUCEMENT STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
Unless otherwise defined in this Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Agreement”),
any capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Green Dot Corporation (the “Company”) 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
This Award is not being made pursuant to the terms of the Plan, but shall be
subject to the terms of the Plan as if granted thereunder and such terms shall
be deemed incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this inducement
grant. This Award is instead being made pursuant to Section 303A.08 of the New
York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual in connection with the Participant’s
commencement of service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Participant has been granted an option to purchase Shares (the “Option”),
subject to the terms and conditions of the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the

Agreement, this Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, in accordance with
the schedule set forth in the Notice.
2.Termination Period.
(a) General Rule. Except as provided in the Notice, this Agreement and the Plan,
in no event shall this Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set
forth in the Notice.
(b) Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of Participant’s service to
the Company, any vested portion of this Option may be exercised for the period
set forth in the Notice and this Agreement, provided that (i) upon a termination
of the Participant’s employment for Cause, this Option (whether vested or
unvested) shall immediately expire and (ii) in no event shall this Option be
exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.
3.Grant of Option. The Participant named in the Notice has been granted an
Option for the number of Shares set forth in the Notice at the exercise price
per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”). In the event of a
conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall
prevail.
4.Exercise of Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice and the applicable provisions
of the Plan and this Agreement.
-3-

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

(b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the
Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised
(the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may
be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise
Notice shall be delivered in person, by mail, via electronic mail or facsimile
or by other authorized method to the Secretary of the Company or other person
designated by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be
deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed
Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.
(c) No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless
such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law and the
requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the Shares
are then listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised
Shares shall be considered transferred to the Participant on the date the Option
is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.
5.Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of
the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:
(a) cash;
(b) check;
(c) a “broker-assisted” or “same-day sale” (as described in Section 11(d) of the
Plan); or
(d) other method authorized by the Company.
6.Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or court
order and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by the
Participant unless otherwise permitted by the Committee on a case-by-case basis.
The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.
7.Term of Option. This Option shall in any event expire on the expiration date
set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, which date is 7 years after the
Date of Grant.
8.U.S. Tax Consequences. For Participants subject to U.S. income tax, some of
the federal tax consequences relating to this Option, as of the date of this
Option, are set forth below. All other Participants should consult a tax advisor
for tax consequences relating to this Option in their respective jurisdiction.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE
-4-

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

PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. The Participant may incur federal ordinary income tax
liability upon exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option (“NSO”). The Participant
will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary
income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If
the Participant is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be
required to withhold from his or her compensation an amount equal to the minimum
amount the Company is required to withhold for income and employment taxes or
collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of
exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if
such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
9.Acknowledgement. The Company and Participant agree that the Option is granted
under and governed by the Notice, this Agreement and by the applicable
provisions of the Employment Agreement and the Plan (each as incorporated herein
by reference). Participant: (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, (ii)
represents that Participant has carefully read and is familiar with their
provisions, and (iii) hereby accepts the Option subject to all of the terms and
conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice.
10.Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement, the Plan and the
Notice constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating
to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior discussions between them.
Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the purchase of the
Shares hereunder are superseded. No modification of or amendment to this
Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by
either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed
as a waiver of any rights of such party.
11.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares will be subject
to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant 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 Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or
transfer.
12.Governing Law; Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are
held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate
such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a
mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this
Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and (iii)
the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and
obligations of the
-5-

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

parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law.

shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, to terminate Participant’s service, for any
reason, with or without cause.
By your signature and the signature of the Company’s representative on the
Notice, you and the Company agree that this Option is governed by the terms and
conditions of the Plan (as if granted thereunder), the Notice and this
Agreement. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final
all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to
the Plan, the Notice and the Agreement. Participant further agrees to notify the
Company upon any change in the residence address indicated on the Notice.
