16

 

Accounts in a commercially reasonable manner; and (ii) agrees that no court action or other legal
proceeding or garnishment, attachment, repossession of property, detinue, sequestration or any
other attempt to repossess any merchandise covered by an Account shall be attempted by Borrower
except by or under the direction of competent legal counsel. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold Bank harmless for any loss or liability of any kind or character which may be asserted
against Bank by virtue of any suit filed, process issued, or any repossession or attempted
repossession done or attempted by Borrower or by virtue of any other actions or endeavors which
Borrower may make to collect any Accounts or repossess any such merchandise.

          (ff) Assignment and Payment Instruction. Borrower shall cause each of its
Retailers and Resellers to execute a contract containing irrevocable, without Bank’s written
consent, instructions, acceptable to Bank, or an irrevocable, without Bank’s written consent,
letter notice to each Retailer or Reseller, obligating each Retailer or Reseller to remit all
Retailer Funds to the Retailer Reserve Fund.

          (gg) Liquid Assets. Borrower shall at all time have on deposit in an account or
accounts at Bank (or on deposit in accounts at Bank and its affiliates) at least $5,000,000.00
which accounts and funds deposited therein shall be pledged to Bank as security for the Liabilities
either through the Deposit Account Pledge or such other pledge agreement reasonably required by
Bank.
Such pledged deposit accounts shall be under the exclusive control of Bank and subject to no liens
or security interest other than those in favor of Bank. Borrower agrees to execute such control
agreements and other agreements as Bank may reasonably require to perfect Bank’s security interest
in such accounts and the funds deposited therein.

          (hh) Minimum Liquidity. In addition to the funds pledged to Bank described in (gg)
above, Borrower must at all times maintain liquidity in a form of cash or cash equivalents equal to
no less than $20,000,000.00. Borrower shall include a detail in Borrower’s quarterly financial
statements delivered by Borrower to Bank pursuant to this Agreement showing Borrower’s liquidity as
at each quarter end and if requested by Bank will provide Bank with such other information
requested by Bank to confirm such liquidity.

17

 

          (ii) Minimum Tangible Net Worth. Borrower must at all times maintain a Minimum
Tangible Net Worth of at least $40,000,000.00. Minimum Tangible Net Worth shall be defined
according to generally accepted accounting principles.

          (jj) Other Matters. No information, exhibit, schedule or report furnished or to be
furnished by Borrower to Bank in connection with this Agreement contains or will contain any
material misstatement of fact, or fails or will fail to state any material fact, the omission of
which would render the statements therein materially false or misleading when made, provided,
however, that Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of any fact or occurrence which would
subsequently render such statement materially false or misleading.

creditor to obtain a lien upon any of its property through legal proceedings or distraint which is
not vacated within 30 days from the date thereof;

          (f) Should Borrower sell, encumber, convey or otherwise transfer any interest in the

Documents (which, if applicable, continues beyond any, if any, applicable cure period contained
therein).

     6. REMEDIES.

          (a) General. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank
shall have and at its option may exercise, at any time and from time to time and without notice to
Borrower, each, any and all of its rights and remedies herein and in the Note and

20

 

other Loan
Documents provided or which are otherwise available to Bank under applicable law, including but not
limited to its right to declare accelerated and thereby render immediately due and payable all
indebtedness herein contemplated (whether represented by the Note or otherwise), to enforce
collection of said indebtedness from Borrower by suit or other lawful means, and to exercise any
and all rights of foreclosure, if any, provided in any of the Loan Documents or which are otherwise
available to Bank with respect to the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Note. All
such rights and remedies are and shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, concurrently or
in such combinations as Bank from time to time may elect. The failure to exercise any such remedy
shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall any partial or ineffectual use of any such remedy
prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to the same or any other remedy or remedies. It is
intended that this clause shall be broadly construed so that all remedies herein provided for or
otherwise available to Bank shall continue and be each and all available to Bank until all sums due
it by reason of the transactions and obligations contemplated by this Agreement have been fully
paid and fully discharged without loss or damage to Bank.

          (b) Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such
notice being expressly waived by Borrower), to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) to include, but not be limited to, any certificate
of deposit, at any time held to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against the Note or
other instrument or agreement in default. Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any
such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Bank under this subsection (b)
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including but not limited to other rights of set-off)
that Bank may have. And in the event of Bank’s sale of any participation in any loan or loans
herein contemplated, each participating lender shall have and may exercise, to the extent of its
participation, the same rights of

21

 

set-off and related rights as those provided for Bank in this
subsection (b).

     7. MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a) Incorporation by Reference. Each of the Loan Documents, whether delivered to and accepted
by Bank contemporaneously herewith or from time to time hereafter, shall be and hereby are

inconsistencies among any of the various terms and provisions which appear in this Agreement and
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents for any reason shall be held invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect

22

 

any
other provision of the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

          (d) Survival. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall

successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns.

          (f) Renewal Notes. All provisions of this Agreement relating to the Note or the indebtedness

period), increase, or rearrangement of any part of the indebtedness originally represented by the
Note or of any part of such indebtedness, except as otherwise specifically agreed to in writing
between Bank and Borrower at that time. Nothing contained herein shall obligate Bank in any way to
extend or renew the Note.

          (g) Non-Waiver. No action or course of dealing on the part of Bank, its officers, employees,
consultants, attorneys or agents, and no failure or delay by Bank with respect to its exercise of
any right, power, or privilege of Bank under this Agreement or other Loan Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Bank of any default on the part of Borrower or under any of the
other Loan Documents shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default, and no
exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
by Bank shall be held to exhaust such rights or powers and every such right and power may be
exercised from time to time by Bank.

23

 

          (h) Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Bank under this Agreement and other Loan
Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any and all other rights and remedies available
to Bank at law, in equity or otherwise. The exercise or partial exercise of any such right or
remedy shall not preclude other or further exercise of the same or any other right or remedy.

          (i) Governing Law. This Agreement constitutes a contract made by the parties in the State of
Georgia, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of that State.

          (j) Titles of Sections, etc. All titles or headings to sections, subsections, or other
divisions of this Agreement are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed

divisions.

          (k) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to each and every provision of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          (l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties be contained on any one
counterpart. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts collectively
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          (m) Amendment. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless in
writing and signed by the parties hereto.

          (n) Third Party Reliance. Bank has not entered into this Agreement for the purpose of giving
any assurance to any party other than Borrower that Bank will make the loan or
extend credit herein contemplated, and no other person, firm, or corporation shall be authorized to
rely on this Agreement in dealing with Borrower in any matter concerning the subject matter hereof.

          (o) Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay on demand all actual and reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Bank (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket

24

 

expenses of
Bank’s counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents delivered or to be delivered pursuant to or in connection
with this Agreement, and all actual or reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Bank in connection with any enforcement
of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or to enforce, protect, defend, liquidate, and/or
administer any Collateral herein contemplated. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay and to hold
Bank harmless from any liability for any intangibles taxes, stamp or other taxes which may be
required with regard to any of the Loan Documents and the filing and recording of any necessary
financing statements. Borrower also shall promptly pay all other miscellaneous charges and fees as
may reasonably accrue in a lending transaction of a similar nature. Borrower shall promptly
reimburse Bank on demand for all amounts expended, advanced, or incurred by Bank to satisfy any
obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or to perfect the liens in
favor of Bank, or to protect the properties or business of Borrower, or to collect the indebtedness
of Borrower to Bank, or to enforce any rights of Bank under
this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, which amounts will include all court costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses reasonably incurred
by Bank in connection with any such matters, together with interest thereon at the rate applicable
to past due principal and interest as set forth in the Note, but in no event in excess of the
maximum lawful rate of interest permitted by applicable law on each such amount. All obligations
for which this subsection (o) provides shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

          (p) Audit Fee. Should it be necessary, in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank, to
conduct any audits of Borrower’s accounts as a result of the occurrence of a default or an Event of
Default, the reasonable charges by any person or entity designated by Bank to perform such audit
and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person or entity in connection with such audits
shall, upon demand, be immediately payable by Borrower.

25

 

          Should the indebtedness of Borrower to Bank evidenced by the Note be extended or renewed
(which extension or renewal shall be in the sole and unlimited discretion of Bank), Borrower agrees
that it shall pay to Bank a renewal fee during each 12-month period of any such
renewal or extension in an amount to be determined by Bank per year, said annual fee to be due and
payable immediately upon said renewal or extension.

          (q) Participation. It is understood that Bank from time to time may sell participation in the
loan contemplated by this Agreement and enter into participation agreements with one or more
participating lenders selected by Bank, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to Bank. No notice
to or no consent of Borrower shall be required with regard to any such participation. Bank shall
have the right, without Borrower’s prior consent , to provide to each participating lender, if any,
a copy of each of the Loan Documents and each report, certificate, communication and document
required of Borrower hereunder.

          (r) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents
and the documents and instruments contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.
No promises, covenants, representations or agreements other than as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents have been made to or with Borrower and Borrower expressly represents and warrants that
Borrower is not relying on any promises, covenants, representations or agreements other than as
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents in entering into the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents. Bank and Borrower expressly agree that this Agreement amends and restates in its
entirety the Prior Line of Credit Agreement which shall be of no further force or effect following
the date hereof. Borrower further acknowledges that Bank has no commitment or obligation to issue
letters of credit on account of Borrower.

          (s) Modification of Loan Documents. Each of the Loan Documents are hereby

26

 

modified and
amended to the extent necessary to fully evidence and secure any and all extensions, amendments,
restatements, renewals, or modifications of the Note.

          (t) No Novation. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall not
constitute a novation.

          (u) Early Termination. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that unless otherwise
consented to by Bank in writing, Borrower may not terminate the Credit Line prior to the maturity
date of the Note unless (i) all Liabilities have been indefeasibly and finally paid in full, (ii)
Borrower acknowledges and confirms in writing that Bank has no further obligation or commitment to
advance funds under the Credit Line, (iii) the Synovus Management Agreement has been terminated and
all post-servicing period provided in the Synovus Management Agreement has expired, and (iv) the

Exhibit 10.12

Green Dot Corporation

Executive Severance Agreement

     This Executive Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of
                    , 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between                                          (“Employee”) and Green
Dot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

     1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

          (a) “Cause” means any of the following: (i) Employee’s conviction of or plea of nolo
contendere to a felony; (ii) an act by Employee which constitutes gross misconduct in the
performance of Employee’s employment obligations and duties; (iii) Employee’s act of fraud against
the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv) Employee’s theft or misappropriation of property
(including without limitation intellectual property) of the Company or its affiliates; (v) material
breach by Employee of any confidentiality agreement with, or duties of confidentiality to, the
Company or any of its affiliates that involves Employee’s wrongful disclosure of material
confidential or proprietary information (including without limitation trade secrets or other
intellectual property) of the Company or of any of its affiliates; (vi) Employee’s continued
material violation of Employee’s employment obligations and duties to the Company (other than due
to Employee’s death or Disability) after the Company has delivered to Employee a written notice of
such violation that describes the basis for the Company’s belief that such violation has occurred
and Employee has not substantially cured such violation within thirty (30) calendar days after such
written notice is given by the Company.

          (b) “Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.

          (c) “Termination Without Cause” means any involuntary termination of Employee’s employment by
the Company which is not effected for Cause (except for terminations due to Employee’s death or
Disability, either of which shall not constitute a Termination Without Cause).

          (d) “Disability” has the meaning set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

          (e) “Termination Date” shall mean the effective date of any notice of termination delivered by
the Company to Employee.

     2. Term of Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement shall terminate upon the date that
all obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, modified or terminated at any time in a writing signed by
both the Company (which for these purposes shall be the Chair of the Compensation Committee where
the Employee is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and for all other Employees, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer).

     3. At-Will Employment. The Company and Employee acknowledge that Employee’s
employment is and shall continue to be at-will.
Without limiting the foregoing, Employee agrees that, to the extent practicable, Employee will provide the Company with at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company.

     4. Severance Benefits and Equity Acceleration.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation the provisions
of Sections 5 and 6 hereof) if, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee’s employment
with the Company is terminated by the Company in a Termination Without Cause then, after

 

 

the execution and nonrevocation by Employee of a general release of claims in favor of the
Company (which shall not include any release by Employee of claims with respect to which Employee
is entitled to indemnification from the Company) (the “Release”), Employee shall be entitled to the
following severance benefits:

               (i) a lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to six (6) months of Employee’s
then current annual base salary.

               (ii) all of the shares subject to Employee’s then outstanding and unvested stock options or
other equity grants granted by the Company to Employee prior to such termination shall become fully
vested and, to the extent applicable with respect to the stock option or equity award, exercisable
(and to the extent any such equity grants are restricted stock units, then such units shall be
settled within the time period set forth in the paragraph below regarding payment of cash severance
benefits).

          (b) Existing Single-Trigger Vesting Acceleration. This Agreement does not amend,
supersede or modify any outstanding vesting acceleration that may occur upon a change of control of
the Company (i.e., “single-trigger vesting acceleration”) as may be set forth in existing equity
grants held by Employee or any future equity grants that may be granted to Employee and any such
acceleration remains in full force and effect with respect to such equity awards.

     The severance payments and benefits payable pursuant to Section 4(a) above are not cumulative.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 5, cash severance benefits payable pursuant to this
Section 4 shall be payable on the sixty-first (61st) day following the Termination
Without Cause, provided the Release is effective at such time.

          (c) No Duplication of Severance and Acceleration Benefits. If Employee is eligible
for severance and acceleration benefits as set forth in this Section 4, then the receipt of such
severance and benefits shall be the sole entitlement to severance and acceleration benefits and
Employee is not eligible to receive severance and acceleration benefits under any policies and
plans of the Company or other agreements between the Company and Employee.

          (d) Accrued Wages and Vacation; Expenses. Without regard to the reason for, or the
timing of, Employee’s termination of employment: (i) the Company shall pay Employee any unpaid base
salary due for periods prior to the Termination Date; (ii) the Company shall pay Employee all of
Employee’s accrued and unused vacation through the Termination Date; and (iii) following submission
of proper written expense reports by Employee, the Company shall reimburse Employee for all
expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Employee in connection with the business of the
Company prior to the Termination Date in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement
policy. These payments shall be made promptly upon termination and within the period of time
mandated by law.

     5. Six Month Hold-Back and Separation from Service. To the extent (a) any payments or
benefits to which Employee becomes entitled under this Agreement, or under any agreement or plan
referenced herein, in connection with Employee’s termination of employment with the Company
constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and (b) Employee is deemed at
the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the
Code, then such payments shall not be made or commence until the earliest of (i) the expiration of
the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Employee’s “separation from service” (as such
term is at the time defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) from the
Company; or (ii) the date of Employee’s death following such separation from service; provided,
however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax
treatment to Employee, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for
which Employee would otherwise be liable under

2

 

Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the
applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period
(whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to
Employee or Employee’s beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest). Any termination of
Employee’s employment is intended to constitute a “separation from service” as such term is defined
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1. It is intended that each installment of the payments
provided hereunder constitute separate “payments” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). It is further intended that payments hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent
possible, the exemption from the application of Code Section 409A (and any state law of similar
effect) provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”).

     6. Limitation on Payments Under Code Section 280G. In the event that the severance
and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (a) constitute
“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (b) but for this Section,
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, at Employee’s
discretion, Employee’s severance and other benefits under this Agreement shall be payable either
(i) in full, or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance
and other benefits being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the
foregoing amounts (after taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes
and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999), results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax
basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all
or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any
such reduction shall reduce cash payments first followed by reductions in equity compensation
benefits. Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required
under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the
“Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company
for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may
rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and
documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this
Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with
any calculations contemplated by this Section.

     7. Successors.

          (a) Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect
and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise, including, without
limitation, pursuant to a Change of Control) or any purchaser of all or substantially all of the
Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and
agree expressly to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a
succession, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Employee and such successor. For all
purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s
business and/or assets.

          (b) Employee’s Successors. Without the written consent of the Company, Employee shall
not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement to any other
person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement and all rights of
Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Employee’s personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees.

     8. Notices. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed
by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of
Employee,

mailed notices shall be addressed to Employee at the home address which Employee most recently
communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be
addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its
Chief Executive Officer.

     9. Arbitration. The parties agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be submitted to the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will allow
for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of
Employment Disputes. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Los Angeles County,
California.

     10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          (a) No Duty to Mitigate. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that
Employee may receive from any other source.

          (b) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged
unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Employee and by
an authorized officer of the Company (other than Employee). No waiver by either party of any
breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party
shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or
provision at another time.

          (c) Integration. Except with respect to the vesting acceleration described in Section
4(b), this Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to
the subject matter herein regarding severance and acceleration benefits and supersede all prior or
contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to this Agreement, including but
not limited to any offer of employment from the Company to Employee.

          (d) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the conflicts of law rules,
of the State of California.

          (e) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof,
which shall remain in full force and effect.

          (f) Employment Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject
to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.

          (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
