the Plan shall replace the 1992 Stock Incentive Plan for purposes of new Awards
and that the MoneyGram Management Incentive Plan, the MoneyGram Performance

     The Committee will have plenary authority to grant Awards pursuant to the
terms of the Plan to officers, employees and directors of the Company and its
subsidiaries and Affiliates, but the Committee may not grant MIP Awards larger
than the limits provided in Section 3.



     Among other things, the Committee will have the authority, subject to the
terms of the Plan:



     (a) to select the officers, employees and directors to whom Awards may
from time to time be granted;



     (b) to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and
Performance-Based Awards or any combination thereof are to be granted
hereunder;



     (c) to determine the number of shares of Stock or the amount of cash to be
covered by each Award granted hereunder;



     (d) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder
(including, but not limited to, the option price (subject to Section 5(a)), any
vesting condition, restriction or limitation (which may be related to the
performance of the participant, the Company or any subsidiary, Affiliate or
Company Unit) and any rule concerning vesting acceleration or waiver of
forfeiture regarding any Award and any shares of Stock relating thereto, based
on such factors as the Committee will determine) provided, however, that the
Committee will have no power to accelerate the vesting, or waive the
forfeiture, regarding any Award and any shares of Stock relating thereto,
except in connection with a “change of control” of the Company, the sale of a
subsidiary or majority-owned affiliate of the Company (and then only with
respect to participants employed by each such subsidiary or affiliate), the
death or disability of a participant or termination of employment of a
participant, and, further provided, however, that the Committee will have no
power to accelerate the vesting, or waive the forfeiture, of any Qualified
Performance-Based Awards;



     (e) to modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions, at any time or
from time to time, of any Award, including but not limited to Performance
Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may not adjust upwards the amount
payable with respect to any Qualified Performance-Based Award or waive or alter
the Performance Goals associated therewith and provided, further, however, that
the Committee may not reprice Stock Options except for an amount of Stock
Options representing not more than 10% of then outstanding Stock Options;



     (f) to determine to what extent and under what circumstances Stock and
other amounts payable with respect to an Award will be deferred; and










 





6


     (g) to determine under what circumstances a Stock Option may be settled in
cash or Stock under Section 5(j).



     The Committee will have the authority to adopt, alter or repeal such
administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it from
time to time deems advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan
and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating thereto) and to
otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.



     The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office,
except that the members thereof may (1) delegate to designated officers or
employees of the Company such of its powers and authorities under the Plan as
it deems appropriate (provided that no such delegation may be made that would
cause Awards or other transactions under the Plan to fail to be exempt from
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or that would cause Qualified
Performance-Based Awards to cease to so qualify) and (2) authorize any one or
more members or any designated officer or employee of the Company to execute
and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.



     Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award will be made
in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegates at the time of the
grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan,
at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any
appropriately delegated officer(s) or employee(s) pursuant to the provision of
the Plan will be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and
Plan participants.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Committee will
have the authority to modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any
Award as appropriate in the event of or in connection with any reorganization,
recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of
shares, merger, consolidation or any change in the capital structure of the
Company.



SECTION 3. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN AND LIMITS ON AWARDS.



     (a) Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company available for grant under the Plan in each calendar
year (including partial calendar years) during which the Plan is in effect
shall be equal to two percent (2.0%) of the total number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company outstanding as of the first day of each such year for
which the Plan is in effect; provided that any shares available for grant in a
particular calendar year (or partial calendar year) which are not, in fact,
granted in such year shall be added to the shares available for grant in any
subsequent calendar year; and provided, further, that the number of
shares of Common Stock available for grant in 2004 shall be two
percent (2%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of
        
       
       , 2004.










 





7


     (b) Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the number of shares of
Stock covered by Awards granted to any one participant will not exceed 500,000
shares for any consecutive twelve-month period and the aggregate dollar amount
for Awards denominated solely in cash will not exceed $5.0 million for any such
period.



     (c) In addition, and subject to adjustment as provided herein, no more
than 7.5 million shares of Common Stock will be cumulatively available for the
grant of Incentive Stock Options over the life of the Plan.



     (d) Shares subject to an option or award under the Plan may be authorized
and unissued shares or may be “treasury shares.” In the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, spin-off, stock dividend,
stock split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the Stock or other
change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or
adjustments will be made in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved
for issuance under the Plan, in the aggregate limit on grants to individuals,
in the number, kind, and option price of shares subject to outstanding Stock
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in the number and kind of shares subject
to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan and/or such other equitable
substitutions or adjustments as may be determined to be appropriate by the
Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the
number of shares subject to any Award will always be a whole number.



     (e) Awards under the MIP may not exceed in the case of (i) the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, one and one-half percent (1.5%) of net income as
defined; (ii) a president of any of the Company’s operating companies, whether
or not incorporated, six-tenths of one percent (0.6%) of net income as defined;
and (iii) all other executive officers of the Company individually, one-half of
one percent (0.5%) of net income as defined.



SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.



     Officers, employees and directors of the Company, its subsidiaries and
Affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and
profitability of the business of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates
are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan.



SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS.



     Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted
under the Plan and may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and
Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan will be
in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve.










 





8


     The Committee will have the authority to grant any optionee Incentive
Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in
each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights). Incentive Stock Options
may be granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (within
the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code). To the extent that any Stock
Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so designated
does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it will be deemed to be a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.



     Stock Options will be evidenced by option agreements, the terms and
provisions of which may differ. An option agreement will indicate on its face
whether it is an agreement for an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified
Stock Option. The grant of a Stock Option will occur on the date the Committee
by resolution selects an individual to be a participant in any grant of a Stock
Option, determines the number of shares of Stock to be subject to such Stock
Option to be granted to such individual and specifies the terms and provisions
of the Stock Option. The Company will notify a participant of any grant of a
Stock Option, and a written option agreement or agreements will be duly
executed and delivered by the Company to the participant.



     Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan
relating to Incentive Stock Options will be interpreted, amended or altered nor
will any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised so as to
disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of
the optionee affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such
Section 422.



     Stock Options granted under the Plan will be subject to the following
terms and conditions and will contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Committee will deem desirable:



     (a) OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a
Stock Option will be determined by the Committee and set forth in the option
agreement, and will not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject
to the Stock Option on the date of grant.



     (b) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option will be fixed by the
Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option may be exercisable more than 10 years
after the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.










 





9


     (c) EXERCISABILITY. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options
will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and
conditions as will be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides
that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may,
subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, at any time waive such
installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as
the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may, subject to the
provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, at any time accelerate the exercisability of
any Stock Option.



     (d) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5,
Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the
option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the
number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased.



     Such notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price
by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept.
An option agreement may provide that, if approved by the Committee, payment in
full or in part or payment of tax liability, if any, relating to such exercise
may also be made in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the
optionee of the same class as the Stock subject to the Stock Option and, in the
case of the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock subject
to an Award hereunder which is of the same class as the Stock subject to the
Stock Option (in both cases based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
date the Stock Option is exercised); provided, however, that, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already
owned shares of Stock of the same class as the Stock subject to the Stock
Option may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted. In
addition, an option agreement may provide that, in the discretion of the
Committee, payment for any shares subject to a Stock Option or tax liability
associated therewith may also be made by instruction to the Committee to
withhold a number of such shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of such Stock Option.



     If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is
made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the number of shares
of Stock to be received upon such exercise equal to the number of shares of
Restricted Stock used for payment of the option exercise price will be subject
to the same forfeiture restrictions to which such Restricted Stock was subject,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee.










 





10


     No shares of Stock will be issued until full payment therefor has been
made. Subject to any forfeiture restrictions that may apply if a Stock Option
is exercised using Restricted Stock, an optionee will have all of the rights of
a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Stock that is
subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the
shares and the right to receive dividends), when the optionee has given written
notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has
given the representation described in Section 12(a).



     (e) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK OPTIONS. (1) No Stock Option will be
transferable by the optionee other than (A) by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution or (B) in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Code or Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules
thereunder). All Stock Options will be exercisable, during the optionee’s
lifetime, only by the optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of
the optionee, it being understood that the terms “holder” and “optionee”
include the guardian and legal representative of the optionee named in the
option agreement and any person to whom a Stock Option is transferred by will
or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order.



          (2) Notwithstanding Section 5(e)(1) above, the Committee may grant Stock
Options that are transferable, or amend outstanding Stock Options to make them
transferable, by the optionee (any such Stock Option so granted or amended a
“Transferable Option”) to one or more members of the optionee’s immediate
family, to partnerships of which the only partners are members of the
optionee’s immediate family, or to trusts established by the optionee for the
benefit of one or more members of the optionee’s immediate family. For this
purpose the term “immediate family” means the optionee’s spouse, children or
grandchildren. Consideration may not be paid for the transfer of a
Transferable Option. A transferee described in this Section 5(e)(2) shall be
subject to all terms and conditions applicable to the Transferable Option prior
to its transfer. The option agreement with respect to a Transferable Option
shall set forth its transfer restrictions, such option agreement shall be
approved by the Committee, and only Stock Options granted pursuant to a stock
option agreement expressly permitting transfer pursuant to this Section 5(e)(2)
shall be so transferable.



     (f) TERMINATION BY DEATH. If an optionee’s employment terminates by
reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be
exercised, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the
Committee may determine, for a period of one year (or such other period as the
Committee may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such death or
until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period
is the shorter.










 





11


     (g) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DISABILITY. If an optionee’s employment
terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may
thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at
the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may
determine, for a period of three years (or such shorter period as the Committee
may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such termination of
employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option,
whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies
within such three-year period (or such shorter period), any unexercised Stock
Option held by such optionee will, notwithstanding the expiration of such
three-year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent
to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from
the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of
employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised
after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section
422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.



     (h) TERMINATION BY REASON OF RETIREMENT. If an optionee’s employment
terminates by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may
thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at
the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may
determine, for a period of five years (or such shorter period as the Committee
may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such termination of
employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option,
whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies
within such five-year period (or such shorter period), any unexercised Stock
Option held by such optionee will, notwithstanding such five-year (or such
shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was
exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of
such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option,
whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by
reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the
expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of
the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock
Option.



     (i) OTHER TERMINATION. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if
an optionee incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death,
Disability or Retirement or Cause, any Stock Option held by such optionee will
thereupon terminate, except that such Stock Option, to the extent then
exercisable, or subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, on such
accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, may be exercised for the
lesser of three months from the date of such Termination of Employment or the
balance of such Stock Option’s term; provided, however, that if the optionee
dies within such three-month period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such
optionee will, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-month period,
continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the










 





12



time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until
the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the
shorter. In the event of Termination of Employment, if an Incentive Stock
Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for
purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be
treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.



     (j) CASHING OUT OF STOCK OPTION. On receipt of written notice of
exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the shares of
Stock for which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an
amount, in cash or Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the
Stock over the option price times the number of shares of Stock for which the
Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash-out.



     (k) CHANGE IN CONTROL CASH-OUT. Subject to Section 12(h), but
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during the 60-day period from
and after a Change in Control (the “Exercise Period”), unless the Committee
determines otherwise at the time of grant, an optionee will have the right,
whether or not the Stock Option is fully exercisable and in lieu of the payment
of the exercise price for the shares of Stock being purchased under the Stock
Option and by giving notice to the Company, to elect (within the Exercise
Period) to surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Company and to
receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount
by which the Change in Control Price per share of Stock on the date of such
election will exceed the exercise price per share of Stock under the Stock
Option (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares of Stock granted under
the Stock Option as to which the right granted under this Section 5(k) will
have been exercised.



SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.



     (a) GRANT AND EXERCISE. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in
conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. In
the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at
or after the time of grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such
Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right will terminate and no longer be
exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option.



     A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee in accordance
with Section 6(b) by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock
Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Upon such
exercise and surrender, the optionee will be entitled to receive an amount
determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b). Stock Options which have
been so surrendered will no longer be exercisable to the extent the related
Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.










 





13


     (b) TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to
such terms and conditions as will be determined by the Committee, including the
following:




     (1) Stock Appreciation Rights will be exercisable only at such time
or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate
are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and this
Section 6;




     (2) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee
will be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Stock or both
equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of
Stock as of the date of exercise over the option price per share
specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares
in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised, with
the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment;




     (3) Stock Appreciation Rights will be transferable only to permitted
transferees of the underlying Stock Option in accordance with Section
5(e).



SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK.



     (a) ADMINISTRATION. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either
alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee
will determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at which grants of
Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any
participant, the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such
Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the
Awards, in addition to those contained in Section 7(c).



     (b) AWARDS AND CERTIFICATES. Shares of Restricted Stock will be evidenced
in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry
registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Except as
otherwise set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement, any certificate issued in
respect of shares of Restricted Stock will be registered in the name of such
participant and will bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the
following form:




“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock
represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including
forfeiture) of the 2004 Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Agreement.
Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of MoneyGram
International, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota.”










 





14

The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held
in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon have lapsed and that,
as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the participant has delivered
a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such Award.




     (c) TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Shares of Restricted Stock will be subject to
the following terms and conditions:




     (1) The Committee may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate
an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, in
which event it will condition the grant or vesting, as applicable, of
such Restricted Stock upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the
Committee does not designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified
Performance-Based Award, it may also condition the grant or vesting
thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals or such other
performance-based criteria as the Committee shall establish (such an
Award, a “Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award”). Regardless of
whether an Award of Restricted Stock is a Qualified Performance-Based
Award or a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may
also condition the grant or vesting upon the continued service of the
participant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Awards (including the
conditions for grant or vesting and any applicable Performance Goals)
need not be the same with respect to each recipient. The Committee may
at any time, in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of Section
7(c)(10), accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, any of the foregoing
restrictions; provided, however, that in the case of Restricted Stock
that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the applicable Performance
Goals have been satisfied.




     (2) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Stock
Agreement referred to in Section 7(c)(8), during the period set by the
Committee, commencing with the date of such Award for which such
participant’s continued service is required (the “Restriction Period”)
and until the later of (A) the expiration of the Restriction Period and
(B) the date the applicable Performance Goals (if any) are satisfied, the
participant will not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or
otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock.




     (3) Except as provided in this paragraph (3) and Sections 7(c)(1)
and (2) and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the participant will have,
with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Stock that is
the subject of the Restricted Stock, including, if applicable, the right
to vote the shares and the right to receive any dividends. If so
determined by the Committee in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement
and subject to Section 12(f) of the Plan, (A) dividends consisting of
cash, stock or other property (other than Stock) on the class or series
of Stock










 





15



that is the subject of the Restricted Stock shall be automatically
deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock (in the case of
stock or other property, based on the fair market value thereof, and the
Fair Market Value of the Stock, in each case as of the record date for
the dividend) held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted
Stock, or held subject to meeting any Performance Goals applicable to the
underlying Restricted Stock, and (B) dividends payable in Stock shall be
paid in the form of Restricted Stock of the same class as the Stock with
which such dividend was paid and shall be held subject to the vesting of
the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting any
Performance Goals applicable to the underlying Restricted Stock.




     (4) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable
Restricted Stock Agreement, Section 7(c)(1), 7(c)(2), 7(c)(5) or 9(a)(2),
upon a participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the
Restriction Period or before any applicable Performance Goals are met,
all shares still subject to restriction will be forfeited by the
participant.




     (5) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9(a)(2) and
Sections 7(c)(9) and (10), in the event that a participant retires or
such participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for
Cause), the Committee will have the discretion to waive in whole or in
part any or all remaining restrictions (other than, in the case of
Restricted Stock which is a Qualified Performance-Based Award,
satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals unless the participant’s
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability) with respect
to any or all of such participant’s shares of Restricted Stock.




     (6) Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, if
and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the
Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted
Stock, unlegended certificates for such shares will be delivered to the
participant upon surrender of legended certificates.




     (7) Awards of Restricted Stock, the vesting of which is not
conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Goals or other
performance-based criteria, is limited to twenty percent (20%) of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation available for grant
under the Plan in each calendar year.




     (8) Each Award will be confirmed by, and be subject to the terms of,
a Restricted Stock Agreement.




     (9) There will be no vesting acceleration, or waiver of forfeiture
regarding any Award and any shares of Stock relating thereto, except in
connection with a “change of control” of the Company, the sale of a
subsidiary or majority-owned affiliate of the Company (and then only with
respect to participants employed by










 





16



each subsidiary or affiliate), the death or disability of a participant,
or termination of employment of a participant.



SECTION 8. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS.


(a) ADMINISTRATION. Performance-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in
addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the officers and
employees to whom and the time or times at which Performance-Based Awards will
be awarded, the number or amount of Performance-Based Awards to be awarded to
any participant, whether such Performance-Based Award shall be denominated in a
number of shares of Stock, an amount of cash, or some combination thereof, the
duration of the Award Cycle and any other terms and conditions of the Award, in
addition to those contained in Section 8(b).



(b) TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Performance-Based Awards will be subject to the
following terms and conditions:





     (1) The Committee may, prior to or at the time of the grant,
designate Performance-Based Awards as Qualified Performance-Based Awards,
in which event it will condition the settlement thereof upon the
attainment of Performance Goals. If the Committee does not designate
Performance-Based Awards as Qualified Performance-Based Awards, it may
also condition the settlement thereof upon the attainment of Performance
Goals or such other performance-based criteria as the Committee shall
establish. Regardless of whether Performance-Based Awards are Qualified
Performance-Based Awards, the Committee may also condition the settlement
thereof upon the continued service of the participant. The provisions of
such Performance-Based Awards (including without limitation any
applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each
recipient. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the
Performance-Based Award Agreement referred to in Section 8(b)(5),
Performance-Based Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged
or otherwise encumbered during the Award Cycle.










 





17



     (2) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee (A) from time to time
pursuant to the administration of particular Award programs under this
Section 8, such as the MoneyGram Management Incentive Plan, the MoneyGram
Performance Unit Incentive Plan or the MoneyGram Performance-Based Stock
Plan or (B) in any agreement relating to an Award, and except as provided
in Section 8(b)(3), upon a participant’s Termination of Employment for
any reason prior to the payment of an Award under this Section 8, all
rights to receive cash or Stock in settlement of the Award shall be
forfeited by the participant.




     (3) In the event that a participant’s employment is terminated
(other than for Cause), or in the event a participant retires, the
Committee shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or
all remaining payment limitations (other than, in the case of Awards that
are Qualified Performance-Based Awards, satisfaction of the applicable
Performance Goals unless the participant’s employment is terminated by
reason of death or Disability) with respect to any or all of such
participant’s Awards.




     (4) At the expiration of the Award Cycle, the Committee will
evaluate the Company’s performance in light of any Performance Goals for
such Award, and will determine the extent to which a Performance-Based
Award granted to the participant has been earned, and the Committee will
then cause to be delivered to the participant, as specified in the grant
of such Award: (A) a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of
shares determined by the Committee to have been earned or (B) cash equal
to the amount determined by the Committee to have been earned or (C) a
combination of shares of Stock and cash if so specified in the Award.




     (5) No Performance-Based Award may be assigned, transferred, or
otherwise encumbered except, in the event of the death of a participant,
by will or the laws of descent and distribution.




     (6) Each Award will be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of
a Performance-Based Award Agreement.




     (7) Performance-Based Awards will be subject to a minimum one-year
performance period.



SECTION 9. CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS.



     (a) IMPACT OF EVENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control:










 





18



     (1) Any Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as
of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred and not
then exercisable and vested will become fully exercisable and vested to
the full extent of the original grant;




     (2) The restrictions and conditions to vesting applicable to any
Restricted Stock will lapse, and such Restricted Stock will become free
of all restrictions and become fully vested and transferable to the full
extent of the original grant;




     (3) Performance-Based Awards will be considered to be earned and
payable to the extent, if any, and in an amount, if any, and otherwise,
in accordance with the provisions of the agreement relating to such
Awards.



     (b) DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of the Plan, a “Change
in Control” will mean the happening of any of the following events:




     (1) An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”)
of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of either (A) the
then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding
Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting
Securities”); excluding, however, the following: (i) any acquisition
directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the
exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security being so converted
was itself acquired directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by
the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation
pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of
subsection (3) of this Section 9(b); or




     (2) A change in the composition of the Board such that the
individuals who, as of July 1, 2004, constitute the Board (such Board
will be hereinafter referred to as the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however,
for purposes of this Section 9(b), that any individual who becomes a
member of the Board subsequent to July 1, 2004, whose election, or
nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a
vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the
Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be
such pursuant to this proviso) will be considered as though such
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided further,
that any such individual whose initial assumption of office










 





19



occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as
such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under
the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies
or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board will not be
so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or




     (3) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (“Corporate
Transaction”) (or, if consummation of such Corporate Transaction is
subject, at the time of such approval by stockholders, to the consent of
any government or governmental agency, the earlier of the obtaining of
such consent or the consummation of the Corporate Transaction);
excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (A)
all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock
and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more
than sixty percent (60%) of, respectively, the outstanding shares of
common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which
as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more
subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding
Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the
case may be, (B) no Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from
such Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of, respectively, the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors except to the extent that such ownership existed
prior to the Corporate Transaction and (C) individuals who were members
of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members
of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate Transaction; or




     (4) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.










 





20


     (c) CHANGE IN CONTROL PRICE. For purposes of the Plan, “Change in Control
Price” means the higher of (1) the highest reported sales price, regular way,
of a share of Stock in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape or other national exchange on which such shares are listed or on
The Nasdaq Stock Market during the 60-day period prior to and including the
date of a Change in Control or (2) if the Change in Control is the result of a
tender or exchange offer or a Corporate Transaction, the highest price per
share of Stock paid in such tender or exchange offer or Corporate Transaction;
provided, however, that in the case of Incentive Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights relating to Incentive Stock Options, the Change in Control
Price will be in all cases the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such
Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. To the extent
that the consideration paid in any such transaction described above consists
all or in part of securities or other non-cash consideration, the value of such
securities or other non-cash consideration will be determined in the sole
discretion of the Board.



SECTION 10. TERM, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.



     The Plan will terminate June 11, 2014, but may be terminated sooner at any
time by the Board. Awards outstanding as of the date of any such termination
will not be affected or impaired by the termination of the Plan.



     The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation will be made which would (a) impair the rights of
an optionee under a Stock Option or a recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right,
Restricted Stock Award or Performance-Based Award theretofore granted without
the optionee’s or recipient’s consent, except such an amendment which is
necessary to cause any Award or transaction under the Plan to qualify, or to
continue to qualify, for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3, or (b)
disqualify any Award or transaction under the Plan from the exemption provided
by Rule 16b-3. In addition, no such amendment may be made without the approval
of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by law or
agreement.



     The Committee may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other Award
theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment will
(1) impair the rights of any holder without the holder’s consent except such an
amendment which is necessary to cause any Award or transaction under the Plan
to qualify, or to continue to qualify, for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3
or (2) amend any










 





21



Qualified Performance-Based Award in such a way as to cause it to cease to
qualify for the exemption set forth in Section 162(m)(4)(C). The Committee may
also substitute new Stock Options for previously granted Stock Options,
including previously granted Stock Options having higher option prices;
provided, however, that the Committee may take such action only with respect to
Stock Options representing not more than 10% of then outstanding Stock Options.



     Subject to the above provisions, the Board will have authority to amend
the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules, as
well as other developments and to grant Awards which qualify for beneficial
treatment under such rules without stockholder approval.



SECTION 11. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.



     It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for
incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation
of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan
to deliver Stock or make payments; provided, however, that, unless the
Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other
arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.



SECTION 12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.



     (a) The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving shares
pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that
such person is acquiring any shares without a view to the distribution thereof.
The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee
deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.



     All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under
the Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions
as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other
requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then
listed and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee
may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such restrictions.



     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made
pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate or certificates for shares of Stock under the Plan prior to
fulfillment of all of the following conditions:










 





22



     (1) Listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other securities
exchange as may at the time be the principal market for the Stock;




     (2) Any registration or other qualification of such shares of the
Company under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining
in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the
Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel,
deem necessary or advisable; and




     (3) Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state
or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute
discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be
necessary or advisable.



     (b) Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company or any
subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation
arrangements for its employees.



     (c) The adoption of the Plan will not confer upon any employee any right
to continued employment nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any
employee at any time.



     (d) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible
in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes with
respect to any Award under the Plan, the participant will pay to the Company,
or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any
federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the
Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock
that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The
obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditional on such payment
or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates will, to the extent
permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment
otherwise due to the participant. The Committee may establish such procedures
as it deems appropriate, including the making of irrevocable elections, for the
settlement of withholding obligations with Stock.



     (e) At the time of grant, the Committee may provide in connection with any
grant made under the Plan that the shares of Stock received as a result of such
grant will be subject to a right of first refusal pursuant to which the
participant will be required to offer to the Company any shares that the
participant wishes to sell at the then Fair Market Value of the Stock, subject
to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at the time of
grant.










 





23


     (f) The reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the
time of any dividend payment will only be permissible if sufficient shares of
Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment (taking into account
then outstanding Stock Options and other Awards).



     (g) The Committee will establish such procedures as it deems appropriate
for a participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the
event of the participant’s death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the
participant, after the participant’s death, may be exercised.



     (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreement
relating to any Award hereunder, if any right granted pursuant to this Plan
would make a Change in Control transaction ineligible for
pooling-of-interests-accounting under APB No. 16 that, but for the nature of
such grant, would otherwise be eligible for such accounting treatment, the
Committee will have the ability, in its sole discretion, to substitute for the
cash payable pursuant to such grant Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal
to the cash that would otherwise be payable hereunder.



     (i) The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.



SECTION 13. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.



     The
Plan will be effective as of
        
        
      , 2004.



SECTION 14. DIRECTOR STOCK OPTIONS.



     a) Each director of the Company who is not otherwise an employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, will (1) on the date of his
or her first election as a director of the Company (such initial grant being an
“Initial Grant”), and (2) annually on the third Thursday of February, during
such director’s term (the “Annual Grant”), automatically be granted
Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase Common Stock having an exercise price
per share of Common Stock equal to 100% of Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock at the date of grant of such Non-Qualified Stock Option. The
number of shares subject to each such Initial Grant, and each such Annual
Grant, will be 5,000 shares. A non-employee director who is first elected as a
director of the Company during the course of a year (i.e., on a date other than
the date of the Annual Grant) will, in addition to the Initial Grant, receive
upon election a grant of










 





24



Non-Qualified Stock Options prorated to reflect the number of months served in
the initial year of service, with the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to such Stock Option being equal to (1) the number of shares subject to the
Initial Grant multiplied by (2) a fraction the numerator of which will be the
number of months from the date of such election through the date of the next
Annual Grant and the denominator of which will be twelve (12).



     (b) An automatic director Stock Option will be granted hereunder only if
as of each date of grant the director (1) is not otherwise an employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, (2) has not been an employee
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates for any part of the
preceding fiscal year, and (3) has served on the Board continuously since the
commencement of his term.



     (c) Except as expressly provided in this Section 14, any Stock Option
granted hereunder will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as if
the grant were made pursuant to Section 5 hereof including, without limitation,
the rights set forth in Section 5(j) hereof.


SECTION 15. AWARDS IN
CONNECTION WITH SPINOFF


     In
addition to the Awards provided for above in this Plan, there shall
be granted under this Plan (a) the New MoneyGram Options to
acquire Common Stock (the “Spin Options”) required pursuant
to Section 6.01 of the Employee Benefits Agreement dated as of
[             ], 2004, by and
among Viad Corp, the Company, and Travelers Express Company, Inc. (the
“EBA”), and (b) the MoneyGram Restricted Stock
required pursuant to Section 6.02 of the EBA (the “Spinoff
Restricted Stock”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan: (i) the Spin Options and the Spin Restricted Stock shall
have the terms and conditions required by the EBA; (ii) the
shares subject to the Spin Options and the Spin Restricted Stock
shall not be subtracted from the shares available under the Plan
pursuant to Section 3(a); (iii) the Spin Options and the
Spin Restricted Stock shall not be subject to, nor shall they be
taken into account in applying, the limits set forth in
Sections 3(b) and (c); and (iv) if any Spin Option is
forfeited or expires without having been exercised in exchange for
Common Stock, or any Spin Restricted stock is forfeited, the shares
subject to that Spin Option or Spin Restricted stock shall not be
available for new grants under this Plan.
