 SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDMENT TO AND EXTENSION OF DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENT 

MoneyGram International, Inc., (the “Company”) and the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Money Laundering and
Asset Recovery Section and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (collectively the “Department”) hereby agree that the following paragraphs of the Amendment to and Extension of Deferred
Prosecution Agreement are amended to read as follows: 
 11.     The Company shall pay the sum of $70 million plus
any associated transfer fees within ten (10) business days after the date this Court grants the accompanying Order Tolling the Speedy Trial Act Pursuant to the Joint Motion to Amend and Extend the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, pursuant to
payment instructions as directed by the Department in its sole discretion. The Company 












 
shall pay the remaining sum of $55 million plus any associated transfer fees within thirty (30) months of the date this Amendment is executed, no later than May 9, 2021, pursuant
to payment instructions as directed by the Department in its sole discretion. 
 6.     The seventh, eighth, and ninth
paragraphs of Attachment C to the Agreement are amended to read as follows: 
 Agent Due Diligence Remediation 

7.    For Agents deemed by MoneyGram to be high risk or operating in a high risk area, MoneyGram will
develop and implement a plan to conduct enhanced due diligence. On a quarterly basis, MoneyGram will also calculate with respect to each Agent location for the preceding quarter, the monetary value of (a) completed money transfers that were the
subject of a Consumer Fraud Report C’CFR”), (b) other completed money transfers made to the receiver who was identified as a fraud perpetrator in any such CFR (“Related Receiver Transactions”), and (c) other completed money
transfers made by the sender identified as a fraud victim in any such CFR, provided that such sender was also identified as a fraud victim in a second CFR within thirty (30) days of the first CFR (“Related Sender Transactions”). If
the total combined monetary value of(a), (b), and (c) exceeded five percent (5%) of the total monetary value of money transfers paid by that Agent location for each of the three preceding months, MoneyGram will suspend the Agent location’s
ability to conduct further money transfers pending a review to determine whether the Agent location can continue operating. Upon completion of the review, MoneyGram will, where appropriate, terminate, restrict, or discipline the Agent location.

 7.     The twelfth paragraph of Attachment C is amended to require
reporting to the Department on a quarterly basis. The thirteenth and fourteenth paragraph of Attachment C to the Agreement are amended to read as follows: 

Reporting Requirements2 

13.    The Company will provide the Department with a report every quarter of all MoneyGram Agents or
Agent locations worldwide that were terminated, suspended, or restricted in any way during the previous quarter based on fraud or money laundering concerns or as a result of the Anti-Fraud Program and whether or not a SAR was filed concerning those
Agents or Agent locations. 
 14.    The Company will provide the Department with a report every quarter
listing all Agent termination, suspension, or restriction recommendations by the Company’s Fraud, Anti-Money Laundering, or Compliance Departments during the previous quarter based on fraud or money laundering concerns or as a result of the
Anti-Fraud Program that were not accepted and an explanation of why. The Company should also indicate whether or not a SAR was filed concerning those Agents. 

Footnote 2: MoneyGram shall submit the first quarterly reports required under this Second Amendment to the Amendment, on or
before October 20, 2020. The first quarterly reports shall provide information covering the period between the last reports MoneyGram submitted to the Department in July 2020 and the date closest to the date of the new report for which
information is available. MoneyGram shall submit every subsequent report quarterly on the 20th day of each applicable month covering the quarterly period between the last reports and the date closest to the date of the subsequent report for which
information is available, through the duration of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement. Within one week of the end of the Term, MoneyGram shall submit reports covering any period not contained in the final quarterly report through the end of the Term.

 Additional Reporting Requirements 

16.    The Company will provide the Department with a report each quarter identifying each Agent or Agent
location the Company has identified as a subject of a SAR filed by the Company in the previous quarter.

and (c) the total number of names on any active interdiction system backlog. 
 18.    The Company
will, on a quarterly basis, provide the Department with: (a) spreadsheets, in the form previously identified by the Department, containing information about CFRs and Related Sender and Receiver transactions; and (b) information regarding
money transfers sufficient to determine the percentage of CFR and Related Sender and Receiver transactions relative to overall money transfers worldwide and by country. 

Interdiction System 

20.    Upon receipt of a complaint via the Company’s “Core Channels” (customer service
hotline, customer service email address, or online complaint form) about an alleged consumer-fraud-induced money transfer, the Company will, within two (2) business days, add to its active interdiction system (a) the receiver identified in
the complaint and (b) the sender identified in the complaint provided that such sender has been identified in a CFR within the preceding thirty (30) days. Upon receipt of a complaint via any other channel, the Company will add such
information to its active interdiction systems as soon as reasonably possible, pursuant to its interdiction policy. The
