Dear Stockholder:

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of FastFunds Financial Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of Chex Services, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The proposed asset sale, which is described in more detail in this Information Statement, was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 16, 2005. Although the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock is required to sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, a resolution authorizing the proposed asset sale has been consented to in writing by Equitex, Inc., which owns approximately 73 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, it is not necessary for the Company to call a special meeting of stockholders to consider the proposed asset sale and your approval is not required and is not being sought.

The Information Statement enclosed herewith provides further information about the Company and the proposed sale of Chex Services’ assets. Please carefully read the document in its entirety. You may also obtain other information about the Company from publicly available documents that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


 
Very truly yours,
   
 
/s/ Michael Casazza

In order to complete the proposed sale of Chex’s assets, it is necessary for the Company to obtain the approval of its stockholders. However, Equitex, Inc., which owns approximately 73 percent of our outstanding common stock, has already consented in writing to a resolution authorizing the Company to complete the proposed sale of Chex’s assets.

This Notice of Action to Be Taken by Stockholders in Lieu of a Special Meeting and Information Statement is furnished to you solely for the purpose of informing stockholders of this corporate action before it takes effect, in the manner required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The written consent that we have received from Equitex authorizes us to sell all or substantially all of the assets of Chex (the “Asset Sale”) to Game Financial Corporation (“Game Financial”) in accordance with the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 22, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, Chex and Game Financial, at any time after 20 days from the date of this Information Statement. This Information Statement was first sent or provided to holders (other than Equitex) of our outstanding common stock on or about ______, 200__. Other than common stock, we have no other shares of any other class of our capital stock outstanding.



WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

SUMMARY TERM SHEET


The following is a summary of information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement. The following summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed information contained in this Information Statement and in the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Appendix A. You are urged to review the entire Information Statement carefully. References in this Summary and throughout the Information Statement to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to FastFunds Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Summary Terms of the Asset Sale

General. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement with Game Financial, we have agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of Chex Services for total consideration of $14 million in cash, plus the assumption by Game Financial of certain liabilities of Chex Services, as discussed below.

Assets to be Sold. The assets of Chex to be sold to Game Financial under the Purchase Agreement represent substantially all of Chex’s assets, other than cash (as described below under “- Transfer of Cash.”) and receivables, and includes all of Chex’s rights to its customer contracts. See “Sale of Assets - The Purchase Agreement - General Terms of Asset Sale” on pages 5-6 hereof.

Transfer of Cash. In addition to the sale of its assets, Chex Services’ will also transfer to Game Financial all of the cash used in the operation of its business, including vault cash, booth cash and cash in its automated teller machines. At the closing, in addition to the purchase price for the assets described above, Game Financial will pay Chex Services an amount equal to the amount of such cash transferred.

Liabilities Assumed. Game Financial will assume all liabilities relating only to the assets it is acquiring under the Purchase Agreement, including the obligations of Chex under its customer contracts arising after the closing of the Asset Sale.

Indemnification Obligations. The Company and Chex have agreed to indemnify Game Financial for losses or damages it may incur relating to, among other things, breaches of the Company’s and Chex’s representations, warranties and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement. See “Asset Sale - The Purchase Agreement - Indemnification.”

Closing Conditions. The transaction is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions, including the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement and the compliance by the Company and Chex with all agreements and covenants required to be performed prior to closing. See “Asset Sale - Terms of the Sale - Closing Conditions.”

Termination. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by Game Financial if, among other reasons, the Company and Chex breach any of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, the transaction is not completed by February 28, 2006 and for other reasons described under the heading “Asset Sale - Terms of the Sale - Termination.” The Company and Chex may terminate the Purchase Agreement in the event they receive a superior proposal to acquire Chex, however, in such event, the Company and Chex would be required to pay a $1,000,000 termination fee to Game Financial.

Operations of the Company Following the Sale; Use of Proceeds

The business operations and assets of Chex Services currently represents all of our current business operations and assets. Accordingly, following the Asset Sale, we will have no on-going business operations, although we will retain our cash and receivables. We intend to use approximately $2 million of the proceeds resulting from the Asset Sale to satisfy transaction-related expenses and certain Company payables and other current indebtedness. Aside from the satisfaction of such debt, our board of directors has not made any decision with respect to the use of the proceeds resulting from the Asset Sale.

No Right to Vote

In accordance with the Company’s bylaws and Nevada law, the Asset Sale requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Equitex, which owns approximately 73 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock, has already consented in writing to the adoption of a resolution approving the Asset Sale and the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, it is not necessary for the Company to hold a stockholder meeting at which the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement would be considered by all stockholders. You will therefore not have an opportunity to vote on the Asset Sale or the Purchase Agreement.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Nevada law, you have no right to dissent from the Asset Sale and demand fair value for your shares.

SALE OF ASSETS
 
Background of Transaction

The Company's primary business is that of its wholly owned subsidiary, Chex. Chex was formed to provide comprehensive cash access services to casinos, and other gaming establishments, while also marketing its products a la carte to other establishments in the casino, entertainment, and hospitality industries. Chex's total funds transfer system allows casino patrons to access cash through check cashing, credit/debit card cash advances, automated teller machines and wire transfers. Chex's check and credit card advance systems compiles detailed demographic data about patrons that utilize these services. The collected patron demographic data is then provided to the casino operators and can be used in their marketing efforts.

Until June 2004, Chex was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitex. In June 2004, Equitex exchanged all of its shares of Chex capital stock into a number of shares of the capital stock of the Company (then known as Seven Ventures, Inc.) equal to approximately 93 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Equitex currently owns approximately 73 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

On June 9, 2005, Equitex announced that it had engaged an investment bank to assist it in liquidating its shares of the Company’s common stock. Equitex indicated that it had intended to use the proceeds resulting from the sale of the Company’s common stock to fund its acquisition and development of another business.

On June 22, 2005, following Equitex’s public disclosure of such plans, Henry Fong, the Chairman of the Company and the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Equitex, received a telephone message from Ian Juliano, the Vice President of Strategic Development for Certegy, Inc. (“Certegy”), the parent corporation of Game Financial, in which Certegy and Game Financial expressed an interest in acquiring Equitex’s shares of the Company. Mr. Fong thereafter contacted the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Michael Casazza, informing Mr. Casazza of Mr. Juliano’s message and recommending that Mr. Casazza contact Mr. Juliano.
 
Messrs. Casazza and Juliano first spoke via telephone on June 23, 2005, discussed Certegy’s interest in the Company, and agreed that the parties should proceed to enter into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement so that Certegy and Game Financial could commence a due diligence investigation of the Company and Chex. On June 24, 2005, the parties entered into the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement and Certegy commenced its initial due diligence investigation.
 
On July 18, 2005, Mr. Juliano telephoned Mr. Casazza and confirmed that, following completion by Certegy of its initial due diligence review of the Company, Certegy was interested in moving forward with discussions concerning an acquisition of the Company. The form of such acquisition remained undetermined at this time, however. Mr. Juliano requested further information concerning the Company and Chex during this discussion.

Mr. Juliano telephoned Mr. Casazza again on August 2, 2005 and indicated that Certegy was interested only in acquiring all of the operating assets of the Company. Mr. Juliano requested that Mr. Casazza suggest a purchase price range for such a transaction and requested additional due diligence information.

On August 15, 2005, Mr. Juliano telephoned Mr. Casazza and requested that the parties schedule an in-person meeting to discuss the transaction at Certegy’s headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, which

4


would include, in addition to the two of them, Mr. Fong and other members of Certegy’s management. This meeting was subsequently scheduled for August 31, 2005 in St. Petersburg, Florida. At the meeting, the parties tentatively agreed that the form of the transaction would be a purchase by Game Financial of the Chex’s operating assets, including its contracts with tribal casinos. The parties agreed that Certegy would prepare a letter of intent memorializing the parties’ intentions.

An initial draft of the letter of intent was sent to Messrs. Casazza and Fong on September 9, 2005 and, after some preliminary negotiations, Certegy prepared and distributed a second draft on September 12, 2005. On September 13, 2005, Mr. Juliano, Certegy’s legal counsel, Mr. Fong and Mr. Casazza participated in a telephone conference concerning the terms of the letter of intent and related matters. After additional negotiations and the exchange of further revisions to the letter of intent, the parties entered into a non-binding letter of intent on September 20, 2005. Thereafter, Certegy continues to conduct additional due diligence on Chex, including an in-person visit of a Chex facility by Certegy personnel.

Throughout the month of October 2005, the parties negotiated a definitive asset purchase agreement and exchanged several drafts of such an agreement. However, by early November 2005, Certegy informed the Company that, as a result of events and proposed transactions unrelated to the purchase of the Company, it had determined that it would no longer pursue the Asset Sale.

On December 2, 2005, Michael Bush of Certegy telephoned Mr. Casazza and informed him that Certegy and Game Financial were once again prepared to continue with the Asset Sale. Accordingly, negotiations resumed and further drafts of the purchase agreement were exchanged among the parties throughout December 2005.

On December 16, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors met to approve the Asset Sale and the form of purchase agreement. On the same date, Equitex, as the holder of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, delivered to the Company its written consent to resolutions approving of the Asset Sale. The purchase agreement was executed on December 22, 2005.

The Company’s Reasons for the Asset Sale
 
In approving the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors considered several factors that led it to conclude the transaction was in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Specifically, the Company had incurred significant losses in fiscal 2004 and during the first nine months of 2005, making it increasingly difficult for the Company to continue to fund its current operations and any future growth. In light of the intense competition in the Company’s industry and the lack of assurance that the Company will be able to obtain renewals of its existing customer contracts as they expire or to obtain contracts with new customers and the Company’s difficulty attracting and retaining experienced employees, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to complete the Asset Sale and pursue other business opportunities.

The Purchase Agreement

You are urged to carefully read the asset purchase agreement, which is attached as Appendix A and incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement, for a complete description of the terms of the Asset Sale.

General Terms of the Asset Sale. The Purchase Agreement provides that Game Financial will purchase substantially all of the assets of Chex and the Company used in the operation of Chex’s business, other than cash, including the following categories of assets:

The obligations of Company and Chex to indemnify Game Financial under the Purchase Agreement are not triggered unless and until the aggregate loss suffered by Game Financial exceeds $25,000; provided, however, that losses from certain matters, including ongoing litigation in which the Company is involved, are excluded from this $25,000 threshold. However, the Company and Chex maximum liability for such indemnification cannot exceed 75 percent of the adjusted purchase price paid by Game Financial, except with respect to willful misrepresentations made by the Company or Chex, for which there is no limitation.

·
the performance of all covenants and agreements required to be performed by Game Financial under the Purchase Agreement;
 
 
·
the absence of any law or governmental order prohibiting or restraining the operation of Chex’s business or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
 
 
·
the approval the Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale by the stockholders of the Company and Chex; and
 

 
Termination. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the closing:

 
·
by the mutual consent of the parties;
 
 
·
by Game Financial, if:
 
· the closing does not occur by February 28, 2006;
 
· there occurs a material adverse change in the business, assets or operations of Chex;
 
· there is a material change in the Company’s or Chex’s disclosures in the Purchase Agreement relating to a period prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement;
 
· there a governmental authority issues an order restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
 
· the satisfaction of any condition to its obligation to close becomes impossible; or

If such an offer is received by the Company’s board of directors, the Company must provide Game Financial with notice the offer. Game Financial shall then have 10 days in which to improve its offer to purchase Chex’s assets. In the event the Company’s board of directors determines that the third party offer is superior to Game Financial’s, the Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement upon payment to Game Financial of a $1,000,000 termination fee.
 

9


Closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all closing conditions and to close the Asset Sale on February 1, 2006. Pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, the Company cannot complete the Asset Sale until at least 20 days following the later of the date on which we file this Information Statement with the Commission or mail this Information Statement to stockholders.
 

No Right to Vote

In accordance with the Company’s bylaws and Nevada law, the Asset Sale requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Equitex, which owns approximately 73 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock has already consented in writing to the adoption of resolutions approving the Asset Sale and the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, it is not necessary for the Company to hold a stockholder meeting at which the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement would be considered by all stockholders. As a result, you will not have an opportunity to vote on the Asset Sale or the Purchase Agreement.
 
Consequences of Asset Sale; Use of Proceeds; Operations Following Sale
 
Following completion of the Asset Sale, we will no longer have any ongoing business operations and no significant means of generating any revenue. Our remaining assets will consist primarily of cash and receivables. We intend to use approximately $2 million of the gross proceeds resulting from the Asset Sale to satisfy transaction-related expenses and certain current payables owed by the Company. Aside from these payments, however, our board of directors has not made any decisions with respect to the use of the remaining proceeds resulting from the Asset Sale. We will remain subject to the period and other reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and will be deemed a “shell company,” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. Although we intend to seek new business opportunities to acquire via merger or other acquisition, you may not have the right to approve or ratify any such transaction.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Asset Sale is not expected to have any tax consequences for the Company’s stockholders. The Company intends, in conjunction with the restructuring of its balance sheet, to be able to consolidate its tax return for 2006 with Equitex (its majority shareholder). Such consolidation is likely to result in no significant tax liability to the Company due to net loss carryforwards available on a consolidated basis. If the Company is not able to consolidate with Equitex, however, the Asset Sale will result in a significant adverse tax consequence to the Company.

Regulatory Approval
 
No federal or state regulatory approval is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On December 22, 2005 Chex Services, Inc. (“Chex”) and FastFunds Financial Corporation (“FastFunds”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Game Financial Corporation (“Game”), pursuant to which FastFunds and Chex, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FastFunds, have agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of Chex (the “Asset Sale”). Such assets also represent substantially all of the operating assets of FastFunds on a consolidated basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Game will pay Chex $14 million in cash at closing, plus assume certain liabilities of Chex.

The closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions, including the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement and the approval of the Asset Sale by FastFunds’s stockholders.

As a result of the above, the accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Asset Sale as if it had been consummated September 30, 2005. In addition, the accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, give effect to the Asset Sale as if it had been consummated January 1, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operation that would have actually been obtained had the Asset Sale been completed as of the assumed dates and for the periods presented. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management of the company believes are reasonable.

If the Actual Cash Amount is greater than the Estimated Cash Amount, then Game Financial shall pay the difference to Chex, and if the Actual Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Cash Amount, then Chex shall pay Game Financial the difference. Such payments shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the final determination by the above-described company. Game Financial and Chex shall equally share the costs of hiring the above-described independent company.
 
(d) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated by the parties within thirty (30) days following the Closing through arm’s-length negotiation and in a manner that properly reflects the fair market value of the Assets. The allocations made pursuant to this subsection

9


will be binding on all parties for all Tax purposes in connection with the purchase and sale of the Assets and will be consistently reflected by each party on its respective Tax Returns.

In addition to the foregoing, from and after the Closing, the Chex Entities shall afford Game Financial and its counsel, accountants and other authorized agents and representatives, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the employees, books, records and other data relating to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Transferred Employees and the Excluded Liabilities in their possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing, and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be permitted under applicable Law and reasonably required by the requesting party: (a) to facilitate the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims that may have been or may be made against any such party or Person, or its Affiliates, and (b) for the preparation of Tax Returns and in response to audits.

8.9 Insurance. Effective 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date, the Business shall cease to be insured by the Chex Entities or their Affiliates’ insurance policies; provided, however, that with respect to insurance coverage written on an “occurrence basis”, to the extent that the Business was insured under such policies, Game Financial shall, with respect to the Business, have rights under such policies to the extent the events giving rise as a claim under such policies occurred prior to 12:00 midnight (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date. The Chex Entities agree to cooperate with Game Financial in making claims under their insurance policies

26


in connection with insurable events that occurred prior to 12:00 midnight (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date, and shall remit any associated recoveries promptly to Game Financial.

8.10 Exclusivity. Between the Effective Date and the earlier of Closing or termination of this Agreement, the Chex Entities and their respective Affiliates will not (and shall cause their respective agents, employees and Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly: (i) sell or agree to sell, or solicit any proposal from, or initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, any Person or group of Persons other than Game Financial and its Affiliates and representatives, concerning any proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, and through an asset or stock acquisition, merger or other structure, the Business, the Assets, or any portion thereof; (ii) provide confidential information concerning the Business or the Assets to any such person or group for use in the evaluation of a potential acquisition of all or a material portion of the Assets or Business; or (iii) otherwise cooperate in any way with, assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the board of directors of FastFunds may, to the extent it determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to take any of the foregoing prohibited actions could create a reasonable possibility of a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of FastFunds under applicable Law, take any of the following actions to the extent such board of directors determines reasonably necessary to satisfy such fiduciary duties: (A) furnish information with respect to the Chex Entities to any Person pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement; or (B) participate in negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal. The Chex Entities will promptly provide Game Financial written notice of their receipt of any Acquisition Proposal setting forth the material terms and conditions of such proposal, shall provide copies of all information provided to a Person pursuant to this subsection, and shall keep Game Financial fully informed of all negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal entered into in accordance with this subsection.

8.11 Covenant Not to Compete.  For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date each Chex Entity covenants and agrees that it will not, and it will cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (including by licensing or other partial right transfers), anywhere in the world: (i) own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with or render services for any business activity relating to the Business (the “Restricted Business”); (ii) in any capacity whatsoever (including as a stockholder, proprietor, partner, joint venturer, member, consultant, agent, lender, or otherwise), directly or indirectly, solicit, sell, service, divert, or accept any Restricted Business from, or to, (A) any of the customers of either Game Financial or any of its Affiliates as of the date hereof or (B) any persons who were customers of either the Chex Entities, Game Financial or any of their Affiliates at any time during the five (5) year period ending on the date of this Agreement (other than on behalf of, and at the direction of, Game Financial or its Affiliates); (iii) through another entity induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, or other business relation of Game Financial or any of its Affiliates to cease doing business with Game Financial or any of its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and Game Financial or any of its Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about Game Financial or any of its Affiliates); (iv) through another entity solicit, induce or conspire with or attempt to solicit, induce, or conspire with any employee or officer of Game Financial or any of its Affiliates to leave the employ of Game Financial or any of its Affiliates,

27


or to compete against Game Financial or any of its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Game Financial or any of its Affiliates and any employee or officer thereof; or (v) divert or attempt to divert any or all of such customers’ or suppliers’ business with them from them in violation of this Agreement or applicable Law (including the violation of any trade secrets law). The parties agree that the restrictive covenants contained in this subsection are reasonable under the circumstances and further agree that these covenants should be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable Law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this subsection shall be held excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable Law. For purposes of this subsection, the terms “Chex,” “Chex Entities,” and “Game Financial” shall include their respective successors and assigns.

8.12 Equitable Remedies. The Chex Entities and Game Financial each acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of either of the provisions of Subsections 8.10 or 8.11 will cause irreparable injury for which an adequate monetary remedy does not exist. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Game Financial and the Chex Entities, as applicable, shall be entitled, in addition to the exercise of other remedies, to seek and (subject to court approval) obtain injunctive relief, without: (i) the necessity of posting a bond restraining the applicable party from committing such breach or threatened breach; or (ii) providing any form of security for costs or damages.

8.13 Intellectual Property. If, after Closing, a Chex Entity or any of their Affiliates, or any Person owned or controlled by them, owns or shall at any time acquire any rights in any trademarks, trade names or other Intellectual Property or Proprietary Rights relating to the Business and any goodwill relating to or symbolized thereby, such party shall promptly cause such trademarks, trade names or other Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights, as applicable, including any goodwill associated therewith and the right to sue for past infringement, to be immediately transferred to Game Financial (subject to Game Financial’s right to refuse any such transfer). Such party agrees to execute and deliver such further grants and assignments, without any additional consideration, as Game Financial may request for the purpose of further evidencing, enforcing, registering or defending Game Financial’s right, title and interest in and to such trademarks, trade names and other Intellectual Property or Proprietary Rights. Such party hereby constitutes and appoints Game Financial as such party’s agent to execute and deliver any such assignments, grants and other documents that such party fails to execute and deliver, this power and agency being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.

8.14 Endorsement of Checks. Following the Closing, the Chex Entities authorize Game Financial to endorse for deposit in its name, and collect for Game Financial’s account, any any refunds of deposits, prepaid expenses and similar amounts collected in connection with the operation of the Business. In the event any payments due Game Financial are received by a Chex Entity, such Chex Entity will promptly turn same over to Game Financial.

8.15 Approval of Stockholders.

28


(a) Stockholders’ Approval. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, FastFunds and Chex will have obtained a consent in writing in lieu of a meeting from holders of the majority of the outstanding capital stock of FastFunds and the owners of all the outstanding capital stock of Chex, respectively, in accordance with applicable Law and Organizational Documents, for the approval of: (i) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Stockholders Approval”). Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Equitex and FastFunds will have also entered into voting agreements in a form reasonably satisfactory to Game Financial.

(b) Information Statement. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement (but in no event later than 2 Business Days following such execution), FastFunds shall prepare and file a preliminary information statement conforming to the requirements of Schedule 14C promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to its Stockholder Approval (such information statement as amended or supplemented from time to time being referred to as the “Information Statement”). FastFunds shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Information Statement to be mailed to its stockholders at the earliest practicable date. FastFunds shall give Game Financial and its counsel a meaningful opportunity to review and comment on its Information Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, in each case in advance of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory body.
 
8.16 Cooperation.

(a) The Chex Entities and Game Financial shall cooperate with each other and use all reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Game Financial and the Chex Entities shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information relating to Game Financial or the Chex Entities, as the case may be, that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. In exercising the foregoing right, each of Game Financial and the Chex Entities shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Game Financial shall not be required to consult, disclose or share with the Chex Entities information or materials provided to Fidelity and its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Chex Entities shall cooperate with Game Financial in obtaining the necessary interim and permanent Licenses for Game Financial to operate the Business post-Closing, and (ii) Game Financial shall be permitted to designate as additional Assets and Assumed Contracts such additional Chex Entity contracts

29


relating to the Business as it may choose prior to Closing, without an increase in purchase price, and the Chex Entities will cooperate in obtaining any required consents to assignment. Chex shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written, signed, contracts for locations it currently provides Business services to on oral agreement, and upon Game Financial’s written approval, these shall also become additional Assumed Contracts.

(b) The Chex Entities and Game Financial each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Information Statement, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Game Financial, a Chex Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(c) FastFunds shall have sixty (60) calendar days from the Closing in which to change its name, and Game Financial hereby grants a limited irrevocable license to FastFunds to use such name for such period (which license shall terminate automatically upon a change in FastFunds’ name).

8.17 Further Assurances. From time to time and at any time, at Game Financial’s reasonable request, whether before, on or after the Closing Date, and without further consideration, the Chex Entities shall, at their expense, execute and deliver such further documents and instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and shall take such further reasonable actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, in the reasonable opinion of Game Financial, to transfer and convey to Game Financial all right, title and interest in and to the Assets, free and clear of any and all Liens, or as may otherwise be necessary or reasonably desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

8.18 Supplemental Disclosures.

(a) After the Effective Date and prior to Closing, the Chex Entities shall deliver to Game Financial supplemental disclosure schedules (each a “Supplemental Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth all changes in facts and circumstances described in the Schedules originally delivered upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Original Disclosure Schedules”), and in previously delivered Supplemental Disclosure Schedules, if any, arising out of matters discovered or occurring after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing Date. Such Supplemental Disclosure Schedules shall be delivered to Game Financial promptly after the discovery of any such change from the Original Disclosure Schedules. Each Supplemental Disclosure Schedule shall be accompanied by all available information related to the newly disclosed matter necessary for Game Financial to adequately evaluate such change and shall identify all representations and warranties in this Agreement that are affected by the changes. The delivery of a Supplemental Disclosure Schedule with respect to any fact or matter existing but not yet known by a Chex Entity as of the date of this Agreement shall not cure or otherwise be deemed a waiver of any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty to the extent such representation or warranty is not qualified by knowledge. If a representation or warranty is qualified by Knowledge, the applicable Supplemental Disclosure Schedule shall be

30


accompanied by a certificate from the Secretary of such Chex Entity certifying that it had no Knowledge of such fact or matter as of the Effective Date.

(b) If any Supplemental Disclosure Schedule relates to a period prior to the Effective Date, Game Financial shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 11.1. The failure of Game Financial to so terminate this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any claim for indemnified Losses that Game Financial may have as a result of the operation of the provisions of Section 10.

(c) If any Supplemental Disclosure Schedule is not material and relates to a period or occurrence after the Effective Date, Game Financial shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 11.1, but shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any matter revealed in such Supplemental Disclosure Schedule to the extent of any Losses suffered or incurred in connection therewith in accordance with Section 10.

(d) If any information revealed in a Supplemental Disclosure Schedule is material and relates to a period or occurrence after the Effective Date, Game Financial shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 11.1. The failure of Game Financial to so terminate this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any claim for Losses that Game Financial may have as a result of the operation of the provisions of Section 10.

34


incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnification.

10.2 Indemnification by the Chex Entities. Subject to Subsection 10.7, the Chex Entities, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold Game Financial and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Game Financial Indemnified Party”) harmless against all Losses arising out of or related to: (i) any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach by a Chex Entity of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by a Chex Entity in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the Excluded Liabilities (regardless of whether information relating such Excluded Liabilities is set forth on a schedule); (iv) the ownership or operation of the Assets or the Business prior the Closing Date in all respects other than the Assumed Liabilities; (v) all Governmental Orders, assessments, fees and expenses incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnification; (vi) any act or omission by a Chex Entity with respect to the Business that occurred prior to Closing, including any claim or Liabilities arising out of or related to the ownership, license, use, ownership or operation of the 3 in 1 Software prior to the Closing Date; (vii) Ongoing Commissions, (vii) the litigation described on Schedule 6.12.

10.3 Indemnified Claims.

(a) A party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (“Indemnified Party”) will give the party required to provide such indemnification (“Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of any Action with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification (each an “Indemnified Claim”). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after receiving notice of an Indemnified Claim stating that the Indemnifying Party is responsible for such Indemnified Claim (“Indemnity Notice Period”), at its expense, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnified Claim with respect to which it is the Indemnifying Party and to have the Indemnified Party represented by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided further, that Game Financial may, at any time, assume the defense and settlement of an Indemnified Claim with counsel of its choice, and be fully indemnified therefor if Game Financial believes that a Chex Entity’s defense is: (i) having a Material Adverse Change on the affairs, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Business or the Assets; or (ii) could adversely affect or detract from the value of the Assets or the Business. The Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any Indemnified Claim without the advance written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified. The parties will cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation and/or settlement of each Indemnified Claim.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of, or if after so assuming the defense, the Indemnifying Party fails to defend any such Indemnified Claim, then

35


the Indemnified Party may defend against any Indemnified Claim in the manner it deems appropriate, and the Indemnified Party may settle the Indemnified Claim on the terms it deems appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount of all expenses, legal and otherwise, reasonably and necessarily incurred in connection with that defense and/or settlement. If no settlement of an Indemnified Claim is made, the Indemnifying Party will satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to the Indemnified Claim before the Indemnified Party is required to do so, and shall pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of any Indemnified Claim.

(c) If a judgment is rendered against an Indemnified Party in connection with any Indemnified Claim, or an associated Lien attaches to any of the assets of any of an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will immediately upon any entry or attachment pay the relevant judgment in full or discharge the relevant Lien unless, at the expense and direction of the Indemnifying Party, an appeal is taken under which the execution of the judgment or satisfaction of the Lien is stayed. If and when a final judgment is rendered in any such Action, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay any judgment or discharge any Lien before an Indemnified Party is compelled to do so.

(d) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as appropriate, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Indemnified Claim at its sole cost and expense.

10.4 No Waiver of Indemnified Claims. If on the date of execution of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Game Financial or any of its Affiliates or representatives, has any knowledge of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by a Chex Entity under or pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such knowledge shall not constitute a waiver of any associated Indemnified Claims that Game Financial or any other Game Financial Indemnified Party may have, or estop Game Financial or any other Game Financial Indemnified Party from asserting such Indemnified Claims.

10.5 Injunctive or Equitable Relief. Nothing set forth in this section shall be deemed to prohibit or limit a party’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the failure of the other party to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

10.6 Treatment of Indemnity Benefits. All payments made by a Chex Entity or Game Financial, as the case may be, to or for the benefit of the other party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, and such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.

10.7 Limitations on Indemnification. The indemnification obligations of the Chex Entities under this Agreement shall not be payable unless and until such time as the aggregate amount of claims for Losses of all Game Financial Indemnified Parties shall exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Basket”), and thereafter to the full extent of such Losses in excess of the Basket; provided, however, that in no event shall the indemnification obligations of the Chex Entities under this Agreement exceed Seventy Five Percent (75%) of the Purchase Price, as finally adjusted (the “Cap”), except in the case of any willful misrepresentation made

36


with intent to deceive. Provided, however, that the Basket and Cap shall not apply to indemnification related to or arising out of Ongoing Commissions or any litigation described on Schedule 6.12 and amounts paid in connection with such indemnification shall not count toward the Cap.

11. Termination.

11.1 Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (i) by the mutual written consent of all the parties; (ii) by Game Financial if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on February 28, 2006 (“Termination Date”), unless the Closing did not occur as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Game Financial; (iii) by Game Financial, if a Material Adverse Change in the business, assets, properties, operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations of the Business has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur; (iv) by Game Financial, pursuant to Subsections 8.18(b) or 8.18(d); (v) by Game Financial if any Governmental Authority issues a Governmental Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (vi) by Game Financial, if a Chex Entity breaches any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, and such breach is incapable of being cured ; (vii) by the Chex Entities, if Game Financial breaches any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, and such breach is incapable of being cured or is not cured prior to the Termination Date; (viii) by Game Financial, if the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Game Financial set forth in Subsection 9.1 becomes impossible; or (ix) by the Chex Entities if the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Chex Entities set forth in Subsection 9.2 becomes impossible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be terminated under this subsection by any party that is in material breach of this Agreement at the time termination is attempted. In addition, the Chex Entities shall have the right of termination set forth in Subsection 11.3.

11.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise indicated in this section, (i) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Subsection 11.1 at a time when no party is in material breach of this Agreement, all further obligations of the Chex Entities to Game Financial, and of Game Financial to the Chex Entities, will terminate without further liability; and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated under Subsection 11.1 at a time when one or more parties is in material breach of this Agreement, the liabilities and obligations of the party or parties not in breach shall terminate, and the party or parties that are in breach shall remain liable for such breach, and nothing shall be deemed to restrict the remedies available against such party or parties. The obligations of the parties under Subsections 8.3 (Confidentiality), 8.5 (Publicity), 8.6 (Transaction Costs), and Sections 10 (Indemnification) and 11 (Termination) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

The Chex Entities may terminate this Agreement if, prior to the Closing Date, the board of directors of FastFunds determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors), in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, that an Acquisition Proposal not solicited or initiated in violation of this Agreement (including Subsections 8.1, 8.3, and 8.10) is a Superior Proposal, but only (i) after providing to Game Financial a Notice of Superior Proposal with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (ii) if Game Financial does not, within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, make an offer that the FastFunds board determines, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) to be at least as favorable to FastFunds and its stockholders as such Superior Proposal; provided that during such ten (10) Business Day period, the Chex Entities shall negotiate in good faith with Game Financial (to the extent Game Financial wishes to negotiate) to enable Game Financial to make such an offer; and provided, further, that, in the event of any material amendment to the financial or other terms of such Superior Proposal, the FastFunds board shall deliver to Game Financial an additional written Notice of Superior Proposal, and the ten (10) Business Day period referenced above shall be extended for an additional ten (10) Business Days after Game Financial’s receipt of such additional Notice of Superior Proposal; provided, however, that any purported termination pursuant to this Subsection 11.3 shall be void and of no force or effect unless FastFunds and/or Chex pays the Termination Fee as provided below. FastFunds shall keep Game Financial reasonably informed of the status of any proposals and offers for which FastFunds has delivered a Notice of Superior Proposal to Game Financial hereunder.

(b) Termination Fee. If the Chex Entities terminate this Agreement in accordance with Subsection 11.3(a) then FastFunds shall pay to Game Financial One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Termination Fee”). FastFunds shall pay the Termination Fee as directed by Game Financial in writing in immediately available funds concurrently with and as a condition to the effectiveness of a termination of this Agreement.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer to enter into a transaction with any Chex Entity or their Affiliates or stockholders, in any form, for the acquisition (directly or indirectly, through asset sale, change of control, stock purchase, merger or otherwise) of the Business, Chex, FastFunds or the Assets.

(ii) Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is on terms that the FastFunds board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel and after taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement, including the form of consideration) are more favorable to FastFunds and its stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders), from a financial point of view, than this Agreement (taking into account any alterations to this Agreement agreed to in writing by Game Financial in response thereto).

(iii) Notice of Superior Proposal” means a written notice describing in detail the material terms and conditions of a Superior Proposal, such notice to include copies of

38


all agreements, proposed agreements, letters of interest or intent, and other written materials delivered to a Chex Entity, Affiliate or stockholder in connection with such Superior Proposal, as the same may be updated, changed or supplemented from time to time.

(d) Agreement Regarding Termination Fee. Each of the Chex Entities and Game Financial acknowledge that the agreements contained in the Subsection 11.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Chex Entities shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, the Chex Entities shall reimburse Game Financial for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by it (including reasonable attorneys fees) in connection with the enforcement and collection of the Termination Fee. The Chex Entities shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of the Termination Fee.

12. Miscellaneous.

12.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that neither this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements may be assigned or delegated by a party without the prior written consent of all other parties, and any purported assignment or delegation shall be null and void.

ANY CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CONTROVERSIES. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND HAVE CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, AND EACH MAKES IT VOLUNTARILY.

12.3 Waiver. Neither party shall be deemed to waive any of its rights under this Agreement without agreeing to do so in writing. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of this Agreement. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of a party, that consent must be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver as set forth in this subsection.

12.4 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any loss or damage due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including earthquake, war, fire, flood, power failure, terrorist acts, acts of God or other catastrophes.

12.5 Headings; Construction. The headings that appear in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not limit or extend its scope.

12.7 Neutral Construction. This Agreement was negotiated fairly between the parties at arms’ length, and the final terms are the product of the parties’ negotiations.

This Agreement shall be construed equally against the parties regardless of who is more responsible for its preparation.

12.8 Severability. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any present or future Law, this Agreement shall be curtailed only to the extent necessary to bring it within the requirements of that Law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

41


12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile, for the convenience of the parties, and all such counterparts together will constitute one and the same original instrument.

12.13 Amendment. This Agreement may be modified only by written agreement of the parties.

12.14 No Successor Liability. It is expressly understood that the parties intend that Game Financial shall not be considered a successor to any Chex Entity or any of their Affiliates by reason of any theory of law or equity, and that Game Financial shall have no Liability except as otherwise provided in this Agreement for any obligation or liability of a Chex Entity or their Affiliates.

12.15 Active Prospect List. Active Prospect List. Schedule 12.15 identifies certain active prospective customers of the Business (the “Prospects”). If a Prospect (i) between the date hereof and Closing, enters into an agreement to purchase Business services and if Game Financial approves such agreement and agrees to assume it at Closing (in which case such agreements shall be considered “Assumed Contracts” and “Material Business Contracts” for purposes of the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement), or (ii) between Closing and the date six (6) months from Closing, enters into an agreement with Game Financial to purchase Business services, then Game Financial shall pay Chex Fifty Percent (50%) of the net profit earned by Game Financial during the initial term of such agreement (without renewals or extensions) (the “Commission”). “Net profit” means collected revenue less any and all direct expenses, costs of sale, commissions, costs of cash (adjusted up or down to the then-current level - right now it is 6%), amortized capital, and a reasonable allocation of fixed overhead. Game Financial shall pay 50% of the estimated future Commission expected to be earned during the initial term of the agreement (without renewals or extensions)(the "Prepaid Commission") on the later of (i) Closing, or (ii) when Game Financial starts providing services to such Prospect. Such estimated future Commission shall be calculated based on the projections from the client and the use of historical and known costs associated with sales and processing of the transactions. The remaining 50% of the Commission shall be calculated and paid quarterly in arrears throughout the initial contract term, and there shall be quarterly true ups based on the difference between the estimated and actual Commission and adjustments reflecting such differences will be made at that time; in addition, if contract terminates early (and if such termination is not the result of Game Financial's material breach), then the Prepaid Commission for such contract(s) shall be retroactively reduced to reflect the new shorter period of time over which Commissions have been actually earned, and Chex shall promptly pay to Game Financial the difference between the initially calculated and paid Prepaid Commission and the Prepaid Commission Chex would have received had it been initially calculated based on such shorter period of time.
 
12.16 Isleta Contract. Isleta Contract. One of the Assumed Contracts is the November 21, 2002 Financial Services Agreement between Chex and The Pueblo of Isleta d/b/a Isleta Gaming Palace (the “Isleta Contract”), and that contract is now on a month-to-month term. “Promptly” for purposes of this subsection means within five (5) Business Days.

42


 
(i) If, prior to Closing, the Chex Entities obtain an extension of the Isleta Contract for 1 year or more, on terms and conditions pre-approved by Game Financial in writing (the “Extended Isleta Contract”) and the Extended Isleta Contract terminates for any reason during the first 12 months after Closing then the Chex Entities shall promptly pay to Game Financial an amount equal to: (i) $750,000, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 12 minus the number of months the Extended Isleta Contract was in place after Closing but prior to termination, and the denominator of which is 12. If, however, Isleta terminates the Extended Isleta Contract because of Game Financial’s breach, then there would be no payment owed to Game Financial by the Chex Entities.
 

(ii) If the Extended Isleta Contract is not obtained prior to Closing and Isleta terminates the Isleta Contract or fails to renew for each of the 12 months following Closing (i.e., the parties expect the contract to remain in force for 12 months following Closing), then the Chex Entities shall promptly pay to Game Financial $750,000. If Isleta terminates or fails to renew the Isleta Contract after such 12 month period there would be no payment owed to Game Financial by the Chex Entities.

12.17 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and any investigation made by Game Financial or the Chex Entities. No action for a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made or deemed made in this Agreement, or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall be brought more than three (3) years following the Closing Date, except for: (i) claims arising out of the representations and warranties contained in Subsections 6.1 (Organization), 6.9 (Employee Compensation and Benefit Plans), 6.17 (Taxes), 6.19 (Sufficiency of Assets), 6.20 (Brokers), and 7.1 (Organization) and 7.3 (Brokers) (“Specified Representations”), which claims may be brought until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; (ii) Indemnified Claims of which the Indemnifying Party has been notified by the Indemnified Party within such three (3) year period; (iii) claims for material breach of representations or warranties made by a Chex Entity that were known to be inaccurate at the Closing and which were not then disclosed in writing to Game Financial, which claims shall survive indefinitely; and (iv) claims by Game Financial Indemnified Parties for indemnification with respect to Ongoing Commission or the litigation described on Schedule 6.12, which shall also survive indefinitely. It is understood that a claim may be made prior to such time as the exact amount thereof is determined.
