This notice explains: A. The Nature and History of this Lawsuit; B. The Right to Be Included in, or Excluded from, the Class; and C. Additional Information. A.

On April 3, 2002, Judge Clay D. Land (the Court) certified this case against defendants as a class action. The Court defined the class as those persons who after May 3, 1996, engaged in transactions at any of GCSfs locations in Georgia, in which the person received a cash advance and gave GCS a check, and who did not redeem catalogue gift certificates that were provided to the person as part of the transaction.

Received from GA Catalog Sales, Inc. an amount of cash less than the amount of the check; and 4. Did not redeem at least one of the catalogue gift certificates that were provided to the person as part of the transaction. IF THE FOREGOING APPLIES TO YOU, YOU ARE PRESENTLY A CLASS MEMBER IN THE CASE AND WILL REMAIN A CLASS MEMBER UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO EXCLUDE YOURSELF BY OBTAIN ING AN OPT OUT FORM AND MAIL ING THE OPT OUT FORM TO THE CLERK OF THE COURT. This lawsuit does not alter or have any effect on any current obligation you may have under a check cashing agreement entered into with GCS prior to May 3, 1996. YOU ARE NOT BEING SUED AND YOU WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PAY ANY COSTS OR ATTORNEYS FEES IF YOU REMAIN A CLASS MEMBER. B.
