Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) These shares are subject to a restricted stock award. No portion of the award will vest unless the spin-off of the Company's Western Union subsidiary is consummated. If this condition is satisfied and the executive is still employed by the Company at the time, one-third of the award vests on the later of (1) the thirtieth day following the date of the consummation of the Western Union spin-off, or (2) the first anniversary of the date of the grant (2/22/06). On each of the second and third annual anniversaries of the grant date, an additional one-third of the shares shall vest. If the Western Union spin-off does not occur due to an event outside of the Company's control as specified in the Terms and Conditions of this Award, the Restricted Stock Award will still be allowed to vest. Vesting may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
