ARTICLE III
CLOSING AND RELATED MATTERS
3.01    Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place on a mutually agreeable date (the “Closing Date”) that shall be no later than the later of (a) the Target Date, and (b) a date not later than the first Business Day that is at least thirty (30) days after the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Article V of this Agreement; provided, however, that if agreeable to both Parties, the Closing Date may be an alternative Business Day. The Closing shall be effective 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (“Effective Time”), or such other time as shall be mutually agreed by Seller and Purchaser.
3.02    Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance; Post-Closing Reconciliation. The Parties hereto acknowledge that the precise aggregate balance of all Deposits as of the Effective Time cannot be determined until a date after the Closing Date on account of certain uncollected funds and other contingencies affecting an accurate determination of such balance as of such date. Accordingly, the Parties hereto agree that an amount equal to the aggregate balance of all Deposits shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser as follows:
(a)Seller will pay to Purchaser at the Closing, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser, an amount equal to the aggregate balance of all Deposits computed as if the Effective Time occurred at the close of business on the first Business Day prior to the Closing Date (such amount, the “Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance”). At 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the morning of the Closing (or earlier, to the extent reasonably practicable), Purchaser shall cause Parent (as servicer in the Program) to deliver to Seller and Purchaser a statement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Pre-Closing Statement”), showing the computation of the Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance.
(b)After the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other (including giving a Party commercially reasonable access to the books and records and knowledgeable employees of the other) in the prompt determination of the final aggregate balance of all Deposits as of the Effective Time, after taking into account any increase or decreases in the amount of the Deposits on account of necessary adjustments, chargebacks, account credit, account debits, uncollected funds or otherwise, whether initially received by Seller or by Purchaser (the “Preliminary Final Aggregate Deposit Balance”). Purchaser shall cooperate with any such reasonable requests from Seller, and to deliver to Seller a statement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser) (the “Final Statement”) showing the computation of the Preliminary Final Aggregate Deposit Balance together with a reconciliation to the Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance. Purchaser shall deliver the Final Statement to Seller no later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date.
(c)If a Party has any objections to the Final Statement, it shall give written notice of such objections to the other Party no later than thirty (30) calendar days following

9


receipt of such Final Statement, in which case the Parties hereto shall act diligently and in good faith to resolve all of such Party's objections. If the Parties are unable to resolve a Party's objections within such thirty (30) day period, the Parties hereto shall submit their dispute to an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing (that shall not be the regular accounting firm of Purchaser, Seller, Retailer or Parent), that shall resolve such dispute and deliver a statement in respect thereof as soon as practicable (and the fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller). The Preliminary Final Aggregate Deposit Balance shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto (absent manifest error) unless a Party shall have objected to the Final Statement in accordance with the provisions hereof, in which case the Preliminary Final Aggregate Deposit Balance, as finally determined by mutual agreement of the Parties hereto or such accounting firm, as the case may be, shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto (the “Final Aggregate Deposit Balance”). Not later than one (1) Business Day following the determination of the Final Aggregate Deposit Balance, (i) if the Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance is less than the Final Aggregate Deposit Balance, then Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the amount of such deficit, and (ii) if the Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance is greater than the Final Aggregate Deposit Balance, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the amount of such excess.
(d)All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the recipient of such funds.
3.03    Intentionally Omitted.
3.04    Closing Deliveries.
(a)Closing Deliveries of Seller. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser:
(i)a certificate signed by an appropriate officer of Seller stating that (A) each of the representations and warranties of Seller is true and correct in all material respects (or, if such representation and warranty is qualified by a standard of materiality, in all respects) at the Effective Time with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made at the Effective Time, and (B) Seller has duly performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and agreements contained herein required to be performed or complied with by Seller at or before the Closing (the “Seller Officer's Certificate”);
(ii)evidence of payment to Purchaser, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser, of the Pre-Closing Aggregate Deposit Balance (the “Evidence of Payment”);
(iii)the Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities, duly executed by Seller; and
(iv)any required consent to assignment of the Sublicense Agreements by Seller.

10


(b)Closing Deliveries of Purchaser. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller:
(i)a certificate signed by an appropriate officer of Purchaser stating that (A) each of the representations and warranties of Purchaser is true and correct in all material respects (or, if such representation and warranty is qualified by a standard of materiality, in all respects) at the Effective Time with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made at the Effective Time, and (B) Purchaser has duly performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and agreements contained herein required to be performed or complied with by Purchaser at or before the Closing (the “Purchaser Officer's Certificate”);
(ii)the Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities, duly executed by Purchaser; and
(iii)directions to Parent to provide Purchaser with (A) an electronic file that indicates for each Deposit the account number and outstanding principal balance thereof, and (B) a certification that such file as true and correct as of a mutually agreed upon recent date and time (the “Electronic File Transfer Request”).
3.05    Intermediary Services. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish a direct connection with Retailer before the Target Date, so that Seller does not need to provide Intermediary Services (as defined in the Program Agreement).  If a direct connection between Purchaser and Retailer has not been established on or before the Closing Date, Seller will provide Intermediary Services to Purchaser for a period of not more than ninety (90) days on the same terms and conditions that Seller provided Intermediary Services before the assignment of the Program Agreement to Purchaser, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for any claims or losses in connection with Seller's provision of the Intermediary Services, except to the extent caused by Seller's  or its Representatives' gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or violation of Law, (ii) Seller agrees to extend such ninety (90) day period for a reasonable period to accommodate a delay in establishing such direct connection that Purchaser demonstrates is attributable to Retailer; and (iii) for Intermediary Services provided by Seller after assignment of the Program Agreement to Purchaser, each month Purchaser shall pay to Seller two percent (2%) of the fees charged for the initial sale or load for which such Intermediary Services were provided in the previous month (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall serve as the only compensation to Seller with respect to the provision of Intermediary Services).
3.06    Obtaining Approvals. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take the following actions, as reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby: (a) timely obtain all approvals and consents from any Person other than the other Party (including all Governmental Entities), (b) timely make or give all filings with and notices to all Persons other than a Party (including all Governmental Entities), and (c) provide promptly to the other Party or to all other Persons (including all Governmental Entities) all information reasonably required to be provided to such other Party or such other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent from Retailer and Parent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form

11


attached hereto as Exhibit 3.06, or such other form as the Parties may mutually agree upon (“Retailer Consent”).
3.07    Closing of Transaction. Each Party shall (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all conditions to Closing applicable to it to be satisfied by the Target Date and to otherwise consummate the Closing by such date, and (b) promptly notify the other Party if it has any reason to believe that any condition to Closing applicable to it will not be satisfied by the Target Date. Upon request by a Party, the other Party will provide reasonable assurances to such Party that actions necessary for such other Party to take to satisfy such conditions to Closing have been or will be taken in a timely manner.

6.03    Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.
(a)A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) will give prompt written notice to the Party obligated to provide the indemnity hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, assertion, event, condition or proceeding by any third party concerning any liability or damage as to which the Indemnified Party may request indemnification under this Article VI.

(b)An Indemnifying Party will have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, to conduct at its expense the defense against any third party claim in its own name, or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party. When the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnified Party will have the right to approve the defense counsel and the Indemnified Party will have no liability for any compromise or settlement of any claim that is effected without its prior written consent, unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and such compromise or settlement includes a release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of the third party claim.
(c)If the Indemnifying Party delivers a notice electing to conduct the defense of a third party claim, the Indemnified Party will, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a notice electing to conduct the defense of a third party claim, the Indemnified Party will have the sole right to conduct such defense and the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such third party claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party's expense. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party defends the third party claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right at its sole expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
7.01    Termination.
(a)A Party may, upon prior written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement if the other Party fails to comply with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder if such breach is incapable of being cured by the breaching Party or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by the breaching Party within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party.
(b)A Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement if any request for a Governmental Approval needed to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is finally denied or disapproved by the respective Governmental Authority; provided, however, that a request for additional information from, or undertakings by, the applicant, as a condition for approval, shall not be deemed to be a denial or disapproval so long

16


as the applicant diligently provides the requested information or agrees to the requested undertaking. If any Governmental Authority requests that an application be withdrawn and the applicant, in consultation with the other Party to this Agreement, is unable to resolve the concern or objections of such Governmental Authority within a reasonable period of time, the regulatory application shall be deemed to have been denied. If an application is denied but is subject to an appeal, petition for review, or similar such act on the part of the applicant (hereinafter referred to as the “Appeal”), then the application will be deemed denied unless the applicant and the other Party agree (as determined in their sole and absolute discretion) in writing to appeal the denial and the applicant prepares and timely files such Appeal and continues the appellate process for purposes of obtaining the necessary approval; provided, however, that each Party shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Agreement if such Appeal remains unresolved for a period exceeding thirty (30) days.
(c)A Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2013; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (c) by a Party hereto shall not be available to a Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement or satisfy any condition hereunder, in violation of any provision contained herein, shall have been the cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date. Such termination shall be without penalty to any Party.
(d)Seller may, upon written notice to Purchaser, terminate this Agreement if Parent breaches or repudiates any material representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under the Guaranty; provided, however, that Seller shall give Purchaser and Parent written notice and not less than fifteen (15) business days to cure any such breach.
7.02    Survival. The provisions of Sections 2.04, 3.05 and 4.04, Article VI, this Section 7.02, Article VIII, and Articles IX and X shall survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Seller reserves the right to terminate the provisions of Section 8.03 upon written notice to Purchaser if Purchaser breaches any material representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of this Agreement that survives termination hereof or Parent breaches any material representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under the Guaranty; provided, however, that Seller shall give Purchaser written notice and not less than fifteen (15) business days to cure any such breach.

(b)If after the Closing Date, Seller determines that a Suspected Fraudulent Deposit should be refunded to a Cardholder, Purchaser agrees to process a refund to such Cardholder on Seller's behalf, as long as Seller reimburses Purchaser for the amount refunded

18


and provides Purchaser with the address to which the refund check should be sent by ordinary mail.

This Section 8.06 shall not be construed to require Seller or Purchaser to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential).
8.07    Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, each Party shall, from time to time and at its own cost and expense: (a) give such further commercially reasonable assistance to the other Party and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such acknowledgments and other instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, or reasonably requested by the other Party, effectively to vest in Purchaser full, legal and equitable title to the Assets to enable Purchaser to perform and discharge the Assumed Liabilities assumed by Purchaser hereunder, to evidence and effect the sale, delivery and transfer of the Assets to Purchaser, to confirm or evidence the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities; and (b) promptly notify the other Party if it receives notice of any matter related to the Program that affects the other Party's rights or obligations and use good faith efforts to address any such matters in a cooperative manner.

EXHIBIT 1.01
GUARANTY
This GUARANTY, dated June 7, 2013 (the “Guaranty”), is given by Green Dot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of GE Capital Retail Bank, a federal savings bank (the “Seller”).
1.    Unconditional Guaranty. In consideration of and to induce the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement to Purchase Assets and Assume Liabilities, dated June 7, 2013 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Purchase Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement), by and between the Seller and Green Dot Bank, a bank chartered under the laws of Utah (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, the Guarantor unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably hereby guarantees to the Seller and its successors and assigns the obligations to indemnify, pay and reimburse the Seller for Losses pursuant to Article VI of the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Obligations”), in accordance with the terms hereof. The Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Seller in enforcing this Guaranty or any Obligations.
This Guaranty is a present, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment and is not limited to a guaranty of collectability. The Guarantor agrees that the Seller may resort to the Guarantor for payment or performance of any of the Obligations, when due, whether or not the Purchaser has proceeded against any other obligor principally or secondarily liable for any Obligations, including the Purchaser. The Seller shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations against the Purchaser, including any claim in the event that the Purchaser becomes subject to a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Seller to file any such claim in such instance shall not affect the Guarantor's obligations hereunder.
2.    Absolute Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Obligations under or in respect of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Purchaser or whether the Seller or any other party is joined in any such action or actions. The obligations and liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a)    any change or extension in the time of any payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations under or in respect of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any other amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or



(b)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Seller, the Purchaser or the Guarantor; or
(c)    the absence of any notice to, or knowledge by, the Guarantor of the existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events described in clauses (a) and (b) above.
3.    Waivers. The Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 above, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve intact any rights of the Seller, including without limitation the presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever may be liable upon any of the Obligations, including presentment, demand, protest, proof of notice or notice of dishonor, and all other notices whatsoever, (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by the Seller of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred under the Purchase Agreement or any Other Transaction Document, (d) all defenses based upon diligence, (e) any right to require the Seller or any other person to (i) proceed against or exhaust any remedy against the Purchaser, (ii) pursue any other remedy in the Seller's power or (iii) proceed against any other person who may be liable to the Seller for any of the Obligations in whole or in part, (f) any right that any action or other proceeding be brought against the Purchaser or any other person or that any other remedy be exercised against the Purchaser or any other person, or (g) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to the Guarantor or a discharge of the Guarantor other than any defense that could be raised by the Purchaser to the payment or performance of the underlying Obligation, but excluding any defense based on any event of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium or other similar event, circumstance or condition affecting the Purchaser. The Guarantor further waives any right it has or that may be conferred upon it, by statute, regulation or otherwise, to cancel, revoke or terminate this Guaranty.
4.    Consents. The Guarantor agrees that the Seller may at any time extend the time of payment of any of the Obligations, or make any agreement with the Purchaser or with any other party or person liable on any of the Obligations, for the extension, payment, compromise, discharge or release of any unpaid or unperformed portion of the Obligations (in whole or in part), or for any modification of or amendment to the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser or any such other party or person, without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty for any then outstanding unpaid or unperformed Obligations.
5.    Rights. No failure by the Seller to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Seller of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Seller or allowed by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, remedy or power.
6.    Reinstatement. This Guaranty is absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns until all of the Obligations terminate or have been satisfied in full. In the event that any payment, transfer



or conveyance by the Purchaser in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored to the Purchaser (and such payment is in fact so returned or restored to the Purchaser) as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, dissolution, liquidation, or the like, of the Purchaser, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Purchaser of all or any substantial part of its property, this Guaranty shall be reinstated and the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder in respect of such Obligations as if such payment, transfer or conveyance had not been made.
7.    Amendment. None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Seller.
8.    Representations. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Seller as follows: (a) the Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform all of its obligations set forth herein; (b) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of the obligations set forth herein by the Guarantor shall not (i) constitute a breach or other violation of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Guarantor, (ii) result in the violation of any order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree issued by any governmental or judicial body to which the Guarantor is bound or (iii) constitute a breach, default or other violation of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or other instrument of indebtedness or collateral security agreement or any other material contract to which the Guarantor is a party or otherwise bound.
9.    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Utah applicable to contracts entered into and to be fully performed in such State, without reference to its conflict of laws principles. EACH OF THE SELLER AND THE GUARANTOR HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.
10.    Assignment; Successors. The Guarantor shall not assign this Guaranty or delegate any of its obligations hereunder to any other person without the prior written consent of the Seller. This Guaranty shall inure to the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall be binding upon any entity (a) into or with which the Guarantor shall merge or consolidate or otherwise reorganize, if the Guarantor is not the surviving entity, or (b) which shall have purchased all or substantially of the assets of the Guarantor.
