3. Payments and Benefits. Specifically in consideration of the release of claims in this
Agreement, and only if (a) Ms. Dutra signs this Agreement and does not rescind or revoke it as
outlined in Section 10; (b) Ms. Dutra does not resign her employment prior to the Separation Date;
(c) MoneyGram does not terminate Ms. Dutra for Cause (as that term is defined in the Special
Severance Plan) at any time on or before the Separation Date; and (d) Ms. Dutra signs the attached
Exhibit A on the Separation Date and does not rescind or revoke it as outlined in Section 6 of
Exhibit A, MoneyGram shall make the following payments and provide the following benefits to Ms.
Dutra:

	 	3.1	 	Severance. A payment in the amount of $467,717.00, less any and all
applicable voluntary and required withholdings, representing salary severance, and a
payment in the amount of $758,130.00, less any and all applicable and voluntary and
required withholdings, representing bonus severance. Ms. Dutra acknowledges and agrees
that the salary severance and bonus severance amounts set forth above are subject to
final determination by Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst”) which is the Accounting Firm for
both the Severance Plan and the Special Severance Plan. Ms. Dutra further acknowledges
and agrees that to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code, the salary severance and bonus severance payments above shall be made on the
first business day of the seventh month following Ms. Dutra’s separation from service.
For purposes of this Agreement, “separation from service” shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

	 	3.2	 	Management and Line of Business Incentive Plan Payment. Provided
MoneyGram achieves the requisite criteria to issue an award for 2009 under the
Management and Line of Business Incentive Plan (“Plan”), and Provided that MoneyGram in
fact issues a Plan award for 2009 to Plan participants, Ms. Dutra will be eligible to
receive a Plan award for 2009 which shall be prorated based on the Separation Date. To
satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, any award under
the Plan shall be made on the first business day of the seventh month following Ms.
Dutra’s separation from service. This payment shall not be subject to the provisions
of Section 13 of the Special Severance Plan.

	 	3.3	 	Medical and Dental Coverage. Following the Separation Date, MoneyGram
will continue to provide Ms. Dutra with medical and dental coverage from October 1,
2009 through March 31, 2011, and Ms. Dutra shall be required to pay no more for such
coverage than she would have been required to pay had she continued active employment
with MoneyGram during that period. MoneyGram will reimburse Ms. Dutra for the tax
cost, if any, arising from income imputed to her due to the provision of this coverage.
Reimbursement for tax cost payable during the first six months following the
Separation Date shall be delayed to the first day of the seventh month following the
Separation Date to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code.

	 	3.4	 	Life Insurance. Ms. Dutra will continue to receive basic life
insurance coverage through March 31, 2011 on the same terms as if she were still
employed by MoneyGram. MoneyGram will reimburse Ms. Dutra for the tax cost, if any,
arising from income imputed to her due to the provision of this coverage.
Reimbursement for tax cost payable during the first six months following the Separation
Date shall be delayed to the first day of the seventh month following the Separation
Date to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Further, to the extent that Ms. Dutra’s right to life insurance coverage set forth
above (or reimbursements for the cost of such coverage, as applicable) is taxable to
Ms. Dutra, she shall pay for such coverage for the first six months following the
Separation Date and shall be reimbursed for such payments on the first day of the
seventh month following the Separation Date to satisfy the requirements of section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code.

	 	3.5	 	Special Retirement Benefits. Ms. Dutra or her beneficiaries shall be
paid special retirement benefits under the MoneyGram Supplemental Pension Plan (“SERP”)
as and when Ms. Dutra or such beneficiaries become entitled to benefits under the SERP,
equal to the excess of (i) the retirement benefits that would be payable to Ms. Dutra
or such beneficiaries under the SERP if Ms. Dutra’s employment had continued through
March 24, 2011 (the “Severance Period”), assuming all of her accrued benefits under the
SERP (including those attributable to the Severance Period) were fully vested, and her
final average compensation was equal to the Deemed Final Average Compensation (as
defined in the Special Severance Plan) over (ii) the total benefits actually payable to
Ms. Dutra or her beneficiaries under the SERP. All such benefits will be payable
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SERP, and no additional enhancements will
be made to Ms. Dutra’s SERP benefits under the terms of the SERP or otherwise.

	 	3.6	 	Outplacement Services. Ms. Dutra will receive reimbursement for the
cost of reasonable outplacement services for a period of two (2) years following the
Separation Date, up to a maximum reimbursement of $15,000.

	 	3.7	 	Other Benefits. MoneyGram will pay Ms. Dutra for all vacation that is
accrued and unused as of the Separation Date. Payment for accrued and unused vacation
shall be made as soon as practicable following the Separation Date. Ms. Dutra will
receive financial counseling benefits pursuant to Section 6(b)(iv) of the Special
Severance Plan. Further, to the extent that Ms. Dutra’s right to financial counseling
benefits (or reimbursements for the cost of such benefits, as applicable) is taxable to
Ms. Dutra, she shall pay for such financial counseling benefits for the first six
months following the Separation Date and shall be reimbursed for such payments on the
first day of the seventh month following the Separation Date to satisfy the
requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Payment in lieu of the
financial counseling benefits shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month
following the Separation Date or as otherwise required by Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code.

The parties agree that these payments and benefits satisfy any and all of MoneyGram’s obligations
under the Severance Plan and the Special Severance Plan. Ms. Dutra shall have no right to any
additional or further payments or benefits pursuant to the Severance Plan, the Special Severance
Plan or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in Section 4 below.

In the event it should be determined that any of the payments made hereunder to Ms. Dutra would be
subject to an Excise Tax, then Ms. Dutra shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the
“Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by Ms. Dutra of all taxes (and any
interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto as a direct result of any Underpayment as
determined under the Severance Plan or Special Severance Plan or any other action or inaction of
MoneyGram, but not any interest and penalties imposed as a direct result of Ms. Dutra’s failure to
timely remit taxes) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Ms. Dutra will retain an
amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax that his been imposed. The parties’ rights
and obligations with respect to any Gross-Up Payment shall be determined pursuant to and
conditioned upon compliance with the terms of Section 7 of the Special Severance Plan.

4. Other Benefit Coverages after Separation Date. Ms. Dutra’s other benefit coverages not
addressed in Section 3 above are affected as follows:

	 	4.1	 	Ms. Dutra’s participation in the MoneyGram International, Inc. 401(k) Program
(“401(k) Program”) and MoneyGram’s matching obligation under the 401(k) Program will
cease as of the Separation Date, and any distribution of the 401(k) Program’s funds
will be in accordance with the provisions of the 401(k) Program.

	 	4.2	 	The MoneyGram Pension Plan was frozen effective December 31, 2003. Funds due
to Ms. Dutra under the MoneyGram Pension Plan, if any, will be distributed to Ms. Dutra
in accordance with the provisions of the MoneyGram Pension Plan.

	 	4.3	 	Ms. Dutra’s business travel accident, short-term disability and long-term
disability coverages will cease as of the Separation Date. Shortly following the
Separation Date, Ms. Dutra will receive information regarding the option, if any, for
conversion of Ms. Dutra’s group long-term disability coverage to individual coverage
which such conversion, if any, shall be at Ms. Dutra’s sole expense.

	 	4.4	 	Ms. Dutra may possess exercisable Viad Corp. and/or MoneyGram International,
Inc. Stock Option rights. Ms. Dutra agrees to observe MoneyGram’s policy on insider
trading and will not purchase or sell MoneyGram stock while in possession of inside
information, or prior to the next window period that begins at or after Ms. Dutra’s
Separation Date. All such rights must be exercised within three (3) months of Ms.
Dutra’s Separation Date or they will expire. Ms. Dutra may exercise her MoneyGram
International, Inc. Stock Options, if any, by contacting Carrie Shober at 952-591-3062,
via the Internet (www.etrade.com/stockplans) or by contracting E*Trade at

contacting Debi Atkins at 602-207-5803, via the Internet
(www.etrade.com/stockplans) or by contacting E*Trade at 1-800-387-2331.

	 	4.5	 	Funds due Ms. Dutra, if any, under the MoneyGram International, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan will be paid to Ms. Dutra in accordance with the provisions of that
plan.

Ms. Dutra’s other benefits, if any, will be paid in accordance with the provisions of the governing
document(s) for those benefits.

5. No Change of Control. The parties acknowledge and agree that for all purposes, there
has been no change of control (or change in control) of MoneyGram. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the parties specifically acknowledge and agree that there has been no “Change of
Control” as defined in the Severance Plan or “Change in Control” as defined the SERP, and that Ms.
Dutra is not entitled to any payments or benefits under either the Severance plan or the SERP or
any other payments, benefits, or rights that would arise as a result of any change of control (or
change in control) now or at any time in the future.

6. Claims Involving MoneyGram. Ms. Dutra warrants that she has not instituted, filed or
caused others to file or institute any charge, complaint or action against any Released Party. Ms.
Dutra warrants that, to the full extent permitted by law, she will not file or institute any
charge, complaint or action against any Released Party with respect to any matters arising before
or on the date Ms. Dutra signs this Agreement. Ms. Dutra will not recommend or suggest to any
potential claimants or employees of MoneyGram or their attorneys or agents that they initiate
claims or lawsuits against any Released Party, nor will Ms. Dutra voluntarily aid, assist, or
cooperate with any claimants or employees of MoneyGram or their attorneys or agents in any claims
or lawsuits now pending or commenced in the future against any Released Party; provided, however,
that nothing in this paragraph will be construed to prevent Ms. Dutra from giving truthful
testimony in response to direct questions asked pursuant to a lawful subpoena during any future
legal proceedings involving any Released Party. Further, this Agreement does not purport to limit
any right Ms. Dutra may have to file a charge under any civil rights statute or to participate in
an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other
investigative agency. This Agreement does, however, waive and release any right to recover damages
or other relief under any civil rights statute.

7. Post-Employment Restrictions and Obligations. Ms. Dutra understands, acknowledges and
agrees that she continues to be bound by the post-employment restrictions and other obligations set
forth in the Employee Trade Secret, Confidential Information and Post-Employment Restriction
Agreement between Ms. Dutra and MoneyGram.

8. Non-Disparagement. Ms. Dutra hereby acknowledges that she is not aware of any acts or
practices of any Released Party that she knows or believes to be unlawful or unethical. Ms. Dutra
agrees not to express any derogatory or damaging statements about any Released Party, the
management of MoneyGram or MoneyGram’s business condition in any public way or to anyone who could
make these statements public. Ms. Dutra understands and acknowledges that this non-disparagement
provision is a material inducement to MoneyGram to the making of this Agreement and that if Ms.
Dutra breaches this provision, MoneyGram will be entitled to pursue its legal and equitable
remedies, including without limitation, the right to recover damages (including but not limited to
any amounts paid and/or owing under this Agreement) and to seek injunctive relief. It is
understood and acknowledged that nothing in this Section 8 will be construed to prevent Ms. Dutra
from giving truthful testimony in response to direct questions asked pursuant to a lawful subpoena
during any future legal proceedings.

9. Time to Consider Agreement. Ms. Dutra understands and acknowledges that she may take
twenty-one (21) calendar days to decide whether to sign this Agreement (“Consideration Period”).
Ms. Dutra represents that if she signs this Agreement before the expiration of the Consideration
Period, it is because she has decided that she does not need any additional time to decide whether
to sign this Agreement. Ms. Dutra further agrees that any changes, material or otherwise, made to
this Agreement do not restart or affect in any manner the original Consideration Period.

10. Right to Rescind or Revoke. Ms. Dutra understands and acknowledges that she has
fifteen (15) days to revoke the release of any claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act (“ADEA”) and/or the Minnesota Human Rights Act (“MHRA”). Ms. Dutra understands and
acknowledges that if she wishes to revoke the above-referenced release of claims under the ADEA
and/or the MHRA after she has signed this Agreement, the revocation must be in writing and
hand-delivered or mailed to MoneyGram. If hand-delivered to MoneyGram, the revocation must be:
(a) addressed and delivered to Cindy Stemper, Executive Vice President, Human Resources & Corporate

provides a timely revocation pursuant to this Section 10, MoneyGram may, in its sole discretion,
(a) void this Agreement in its entirety, or (b) void the release of Ms. Dutra’s ADEA and/or MHRA
claims but enforce the remainder of this Agreement according to its terms.

11. Return of Equipment. Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement, Ms. Dutra shall, prior
to or on the Separation Date, diligently locate all of MoneyGram’s property within her possession
and return to MoneyGram all of MoneyGram’s property and information within her possession. Such

agrees that should she later discover any MoneyGram property in her possession and/or control, she
will promptly return it to MoneyGram without a specific request by MoneyGram to do so.

claims. Ms. Dutra will cooperate in connection with such claims or actions including,
without limitation, making herself available in person to prepare for any proceeding

for MoneyGram, to the full extent provided under the articles, bylaws, or any other
governing document of MoneyGram or under applicable law.

fees, costs, and disbursements, and all claims for any type of legal or equitable relief.

15. No Admission of Wrongdoing. Ms. Dutra understands, acknowledges and agrees that this
Agreement does not constitute an admission that MoneyGram has violated any local ordinance, state
or federal statute, or principle of common law, or that MoneyGram has engaged in any improper or
unlawful conduct or wrongdoing against Ms. Dutra. Ms. Dutra agrees that she will not characterize
this Agreement or the payment of any money or other consideration in accord with this Agreement as
an admission that MoneyGram has engaged in any wrongdoing.

this Agreement and that no causes of action, claims, or demands released pursuant to this Agreement
have been assigned to any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.

      (ii)           In
no event shall (i) the Company be entitled to draw upon any Letter of Credit

holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Preferred Securities determine that (i) the bank issuing any Letter
of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution or (ii) the Trustee should
no longer hold any Letter of Credit, either the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities
or the Trustee may require that the existing Letter of Credit be cancelled and
that, upon such cancellation or return of the existing Letter of Credit to the
Company, one or more new Letters of Credit be issued as directed by the holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Preferred Securities by giving to each of the other parties hereto no less than
fifteen (15) days written notice of such requirement.

       

      (b)           Any
Letter of Credit delivered under this Indenture shall be security for all
payments due and to become due with respect to the Preferred
Securities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Indenture or any documents executed in connection herewith, each Letter of
Credit is collateral solely for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred
Securities, and no other Person shall have any right, title or interest in any
Letter of Credit or any proceeds drawn thereon.  The Trustee shall,

(including pursuant to Article XII) or under any documents executed in
connection herewith, follow the written direction of the holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities as set
forth herein with respect to any draw on any Letter of Credit and application of
any proceeds of such draw and the Trustee shall not have any duty, obligation or
right to determine when and if a draw is to be made on any Letter of Credit or
how the proceeds of any Letter of Credit will be applied.  Upon notice

outstanding Preferred Securities, which notice may be given upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of
time would constitute an Event of Default , the Trustee shall have the right to
draw on any Letter of Credit in full or in part, as directed by the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Preferred
Securities,

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

       and
to apply all or any part thereof to any amounts then due and owing and/or to
become due and owing with respect to the Preferred Securities, as directed
solely by the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Preferred Securities.  The Trustee shall give the Company
written notice of any such application of funds.

       

      (c)           In
addition, the Trustee shall, as directed by the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities, draw in full
any Letter of Credit:  (i) if the Trustee has received a notice from
the issuing bank or the Company that the applicable Letter of Credit will not be
renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is
scheduled to expire; (ii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank or the
Company that the applicable Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the
termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Indenture or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided no
later than five (5) Business Days prior to such termination); or (iii) if the
Trustee has received notice from either the issuing bank or the Company that the
bank issuing any Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and
the Company has not replaced the outstanding Letters of Credit with substitute
Letters of Credit from an Eligible Institution within five (5) Business Days of
notice to the Company by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Preferred Securities.  The Company agrees that it will promptly
notify, in writing, the Trustee and the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Preferred Securities of the occurrence of any event set
forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall
apply all or any part of the proceeds drawn on any Letter of Credit pursuant to
Section
10.12(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the above, the Trustee shall not be liable for any losses sustained by any
Person due to the insolvency of the bank issuing any Letter of
Credit.

       

      (d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, including Article XII, the
Company covenants and agrees that (i) each Letter of Credit shall be the
independent obligation of the Eligible Institution issuing such Letter of Credit
and that the Company has no right, title, or interest in any Letter of Credit
whatsoever and (ii) the Trustee shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of
Credit as set forth in this Section 10.12 and may
apply such proceeds to any amounts then due and owing and/or to become due and
owing with respect to the Preferred Securities, as directed by the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities
and any such draw and application by the Trustee and/or the holders of the
Preferred Securities as set forth in this Section 10.12 hereof
shall (i) not be subordinate or subject in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of any Senior Debt, (ii) be permitted to be made prior to the payment of
any Senior Debt even if (A) a default has occurred and is continuing (whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) with respect to any Senior Debt, (B) any
Proceeding has been commenced or (C) any other condition exists pursuant to
Article XII or
otherwise in this Indenture or any other document executed in connection with
this Indenture that would, but for this Section 10.12(d),
prohibit such draw or application.
