STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

BILLMYPARENTS, INC. 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

(INCENTIVE AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS)


Pursuant to the Stock Option Grant Notice ("Grant Notice") and this Stock Option Agreement, BillMyParents, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company") has granted you an option under its 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to purchase the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated in the Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in the Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.


The details of your option are as follows:


1.

VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.


2.

NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of shares subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced in the Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan.


3.

RESERVED.


4.

METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner permitted under the Plan, which may include one or more of the following:


(a)

In the Company's sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board which, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.


(b)

Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded, by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock that either have been held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company's reported earnings (generally six months) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. "Delivery" for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time your option is exercised, shall include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a form approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the



3



extent such tender would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock.

(c)

Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded,

by payment, in whole or in part, through the surrender of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the option having a Fair Market Value on the date of option exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the option or exercised portion thereof;


(d)

 Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded, by payment, in whole or in part, through the delivery of a notice that you have placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale;


(e)

By payment through any combination of the consideration provided in the foregoing subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d). Payment in the manner prescribed by the preceding sentences shall not be permitted to the extent that the Administrator determines that payment in such manner may result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other applicable law.


5.

WHOLE SHARES.  Your option may only be exercised for whole shares.


6.

SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, your option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of your option are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The exercise of your option must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the option, and the option may not be exercised if the Company determines that the exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.


7.

TERM. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the EARLIEST of the Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice.

If your option is an incentive stock option, note that, to obtain the federal income tax advantages associated with an "incentive stock option," the Code requires that at all times beginning on the date of grant of the option and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of the option's exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, except in the event of your death or your Disability.  The Company has provided for extended exercisability of your option under certain circumstances for your benefit, but cannot guarantee that your option will necessarily be treated as an "incentive stock option" if you provide services to the Company or an Affiliate as a Consultant or Director or if you exercise your option more than three (3) months after the date your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates.

8.

EXERCISE.

(a)

You may exercise the vested portion of your option (and the unvested portion of your option if the Grant Notice so permits) during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

(b)

By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the disposition of shares acquired upon such exercise.

(c)

If your option is an incentive stock option, by exercising your option you agree that you will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of the shares of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option that occurs within two (2) years after the date of your option grant or within one (1) year after such shares of Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of your option.

(d)

By exercising your option you agree that the Company (or a representative of the underwriters) may, in connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, require that you not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you, for a period of time specified by the underwriter(s) (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) following the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. You further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s) which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to your Common Stock until the end of such period.

9.

TRANSFERABILITY. Your option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option.

10.

RESERVED.


11.

CHANGE OF CONTROL.  In the event the Company undergoes an Acquisition (as defined in Section 11(c)(i) of the Plan), all unvested options granted under this Agreement shall become immediately vested at the closing of the Acquisition.



5



12.

OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT.  Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

13.

WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a)

At the time your option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a "cashless exercise" pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with your option.

(b)

Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable conditions or restrictions of law, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.  If the date of determination of any tax withholding obligation is deferred to a date later than the date of exercise of your option, share withholding pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be permitted unless you make a proper and timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code, covering the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise with respect to which such determination is otherwise deferred, to accelerate the determination of such tax withholding obligation to the date of exercise of your option. Notwithstanding the filing of such election, shares shall be withheld solely from fully vested shares of Common Stock determined as of the date of exercise of your option that are otherwise issuable to you upon such exercise. Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

(c)

Your option is not exercisable unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when desired even though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein.

14.

NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

15.

GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  Your option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject



6



to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
