The Company has no direct or indirect subsidiaries other than as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (such subsidiaries, excluding those set forth therein as not being material to the Company’s business and financial condition, are hereinafter referred to as the “Subsidiaries”). The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of Oregon and the Subsidiaries are duly organized and validly existing under the laws of their jurisdiction of incorporation.

The Company and the Subsidiaries are qualified to do business and are in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by them makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business, properties or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

3.2 Corporate Power, Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate power and has taken all requisite corporate action to execute and deliver this Agreement, to sell and issue the Shares and to carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited with respect to rights of indemnity and contribution by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws and (iii) as limited by equitable principles generally. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the performance of this Agreement and the compliance with the provisions hereof and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares will not, conflict with or result in a breach or violation of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to the terms of, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any statute, law, rule or regulation or any state or federal order, judgment or decree or any indenture, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its properties is subject.

The Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any liens or other encumbrances.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been advised, nor has reason to believe, that it is not conducting its business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting its business, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4

Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchasers

Each Purchaser hereby severally represents and warrants to the Company, effective as of the date hereof, as follows:

4.1 Power; Authorization. (i) Such Purchaser has all requisite corporate or other power and capacity and has taken all requisite corporate or other action to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the Shares to be purchased by it and to carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms,

- 7 -

except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (b) as limited with respect to rights of indemnity and contribution by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws and (c) as limited by equitable principles generally.

4.2 Investment Experience. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deems relevant, including the SEC Documents and a copy of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2005 (the “June Registration Statement”), is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares being acquired on the date hereof. Such Purchaser has such business and financial experience as is required to permit it to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of such Shares. Such Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. Such Purchaser is aware of the Company’s acquisition of automated teller machine businesses and assets from Travelex UK Limited and Snax 24 Corporation Limited (the “Travelex Transaction”). Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has only received publicly available information related to the Travelex Transaction in connection with the execution of this Agreement.

4.3 Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Shares being acquired on the date hereof for its own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view to, or for, the resale distribution thereof, in whole or in part, within the meaning of the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Purchaser understands that its acquisition of such Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of such Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Such Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Purchaser Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 for use in the Registration Statement, and the responses provided therein shall be true and correct as of the dates of filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement and as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall notify the Company immediately of any material change. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, such Purchaser has no present agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the disposition of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act. Any Purchaser that is a corporation or other entity represents that it has not been organized, reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Shares. Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the Shares, relied solely upon the SEC Documents, the June Registration Statement, the documents attached as appendices thereto and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. Such Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws.

4.4 Registration or Exemption Requirements. Such Purchaser further acknowledges, understands and agrees that the Shares being acquired on the date hereof may not be resold or

- 8 -

otherwise transferred unless (i) they are registered or such registration is not required, and (ii) if the transfer is pursuant to an exemption from registration other than Rule 144 under the Securities Act and, if the Company shall so request in writing, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that the transaction is so exempt. The Company shall affix a legend to the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares to the foregoing effect.

4.5 Certain Trading Limitations. Each Purchaser agrees that beginning on the date hereof until the earlier to occur of (a) 90 days from the Closing Date and (b) the effective date of the Registration Statement, it will not enter into any Short Sales. For purposes of this Section 4.5, a “Short Sale” by a Purchaser means a sale of Common Stock that is marked as a short sale and that is executed at a time when such Purchaser has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock. For purposes of determining whether a Purchaser has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock, all Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise in full of all options then held by such Purchaser (assuming that such options were then fully exercisable, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, and giving effect to any exercise price adjustments scheduled to take effect in the future) shall be deemed to be held long by such Purchaser.

4.6 Pledge Arrangements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Shares, provided that such pledge or grant of a security interest is consistent with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable securities laws (a “Bona Fide Pledge Arrangement”). If required under the terms of such Bona Fide Pledge Arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties thereunder, provided that such transfer is consistent with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable securities laws. A Bona Fide Pledge Arrangement would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in order to effectuate such Bona Fide Pledge Arrangement. Further, the Purchaser shall not be required hereunder to notify the Company of a Bona Fide Pledge Agreement. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with the inclusion of the pledgee or secured party in the prospectus contemplated by Section 7, through a prospectus supplement or otherwise.

Section 7

Affirmative Covenants of the Company

The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

7.1 Registration Requirements.

(a) The Company shall use its best efforts to prepare and file the Registration Statement with the SEC under the Securities Act to register the resale of the Shares by the Purchasers no later than 60 days after the Closing Date.

(b) The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder, and each Purchaser shall pay all Selling Expenses (as defined below) and other expenses that are not Registration Expenses relating to the Shares resold by such Purchaser. Registration Expenses shall mean all expenses, except for Selling Expenses, incurred by the Company in complying with the registration provisions herein described, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration. Selling Expenses shall mean all selling commissions, underwriting fees and stock transfer taxes applicable to the Shares and all fees and disbursements of counsel for any Purchaser.

(c) In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to these registration provisions, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers after prompt request from the Company to the Purchasers to provide such information; (ii) keep such registration effective until the earlier (such date being referred to as the “Registration Termination Date”) of (A) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (B)

- 11 -

such date as all of the Shares have been resold by the original Purchasers thereof; (iii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement; (iv) furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Purchaser from time to time may reasonably request; (v) cause all Shares registered as described herein to be listed on each securities exchange and quoted on each quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted; (vi) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement; (vii) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; and (viii) file the documents required of the Company and maintain requisite blue sky clearance in (A) all jurisdictions in which any of the Shares are originally sold and (B) all other states reasonably specified in writing by a Purchaser, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any state in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented. After the Registration Termination Date, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw the Registration Statement and the Purchasers shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(d) With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Purchaser to sell Shares to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) the second anniversary of the date hereof or (B) such date as all of the Shares shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to any Purchaser upon request, as long as the Purchaser owns any Shares, (A) a written statement by the Company that it is in compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail any Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Shares without registration or pursuant to such Form S-3.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the selling Purchasers a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company stating that the Board of Directors of the Company has made the good faith and reasonable determination (i) that continued use by the selling Purchasers of the Registration Statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Shares pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act, premature disclosure in the Registration Statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company, its business or prospects or any proposed material transaction involving the Company, (ii) that such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to the Company, its business or prospects or any such proposed material transaction or would make the successful consummation by the Company of any such material transaction significantly less likely and (iii) that it is therefore desirable to suspend the use by the Purchasers of such

- 12 -

Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Shares pursuant thereto, then the right of the selling Purchasers to use the Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Shares pursuant thereto shall be suspended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to exercise its right to suspend the use of the Registration Statement on more than two occasions during any 12-month period or for more than 60 days per such occasion, or for more than 90 days in the aggregate during any 12-month period. Each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell any Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement during the periods the Registration Statement is withdrawn or the ability to sell thereunder is suspended as set forth in this Section 7.1(e).

(f) If (i) the Company does not file the Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to the date 60 days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline Date”), (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective within 90 days after the Closing Date, or (iii) after the time the Registration Statement has become effective, the Registration Statement is subsequently suspended, becomes ineffective, or is otherwise unavailable for continued use by the Purchasers for any reason other than as permitted by Section 7.1 (e), then in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) on the seventh day after the occurrence of such event, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.25% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares acquired hereunder; and (y) on the 30^th day of each month thereafter while the occurrence of such event is continuing, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares acquired hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Purchaser in the aggregate an amount that exceeds 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser for such Purchaser’s Shares.

7.2 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each selling Purchaser, each of its directors, officers, members, agents, employees and each person who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (a “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (X) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus or (Y) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse such Purchaser Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to a Purchaser

- 13 -

Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnified Person specifically for use in the Registration Statement, (ii) the failure of the selling Purchaser related to such Purchaser Indemnified Person to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.3 hereof, or (iii) any untrue statement in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser related to such Purchaser Indemnified Person prior to the pertinent sale or sales by such Purchaser.

(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (a “Company Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which the Company may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser specifically for use in the Registration Statement, provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be liable to a Company Indemnified Person in any such case for any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact included in any prospectus which statement or omission has been corrected, in writing, by such Purchaser and delivered to the Company before the sale from which such loss occurred, or (ii) the delivery by the Purchaser of a prospectus (the “Previous Prospectus”) containing an untrue statement or omission that was corrected by the Company by delivery to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser of (X) a subsequent prospectus not containing such untrue statement or omission and (Y) a written notice advising the Purchaser to terminate use of the Previous Prospectus, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will, as incurred, reimburse such Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided that each Purchasers’ obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.2, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and the indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, the

- 14 -

indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume at its expense the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of the indemnifying person’s election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and no indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.2 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or a Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claim, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Shares to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The

- 15 -

Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective sales of Shares to which such loss relates and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers under this Section 7.2 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act.

7.3 Restrictions on Transferability. None of the rights of any Purchaser under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to any person unless such person agrees to become a party to, and bound by, all of the terms and conditions of, this Agreement by duly executing and delivering to the Company an instrument of adherence in the form prescribed by the Company. None of the rights of any Purchaser under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to any person that acquires Shares in the event that and to the extent that such person is eligible to resell such Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

Section 8

Such Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that such Shares are not transferable on the books of the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement unless the certificate submitted to the Company’s transfer agent evidencing such Shares is accompanied by a separate certificate executed by an officer of, or other person duly authorized by, such Purchaser in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.
