Explanation of Responses:

1. The Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder's election, provided that prior to the Voting Date (as defined below), the holder's conversion rights are limited to the extent such conversion would entitle the holder, together with other certain parties, to vote a number of shares of common stock that would exceed the number of shares to which the holder, together with certain other parties, is entitled without any prior notice and/or approval under the laws relating to money transmission/the sale of checks of any state. The "Voting Date" is the earlier of (i) the date all applicable state regulatory approvals for the acquisition by the holder of control of the Issuer have been obtained, or (ii) such other date requested in writing by the holder on or after 6/15/2008. The regulatory approvals referenced in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence are actively being sought and may be obtained within 60 days of the date hereof.

2. The Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock has no expiration date.

3. In the event the Issuer elects to accrue dividends on the Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock rather than pay such dividends in cash, the Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock will become convertible into a larger number of shares of common stock.
