the Company to the Executive shall be a gross amount including all applicable withholding taxes

restrictions contained in this Section 9 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is
made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction
contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of
this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum
time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to

prior to her employment with the Company; or (d) required by law to be disclosed; provided
that Executive shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such requirement, disclose no
more information than is so required, and cooperate with any attempts by the Company to obtain a
protective order or similar treatment.

(iii) Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive
shall (x) cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual
property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark,
trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned or used by the Company, its
subsidiaries; (y) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option,
all originals and copies in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer
files, letters and other data) in Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing
stored or located in Executive’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not Company
property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company,
its subsidiaries, except that Executive may retain only those portions of any personal notes,
notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information; and (z) notify and fully
cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential
Information of which Executive is or becomes aware.

b. Intellectual Property.

(i) If Executive creates, invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any works of
authorship, inventions, intellectual property, materials, documents or other work product
(including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, applications,
presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials), in conjuction with the Company,
at any time during Executive’s employment by the Company and within the scope of such employment
and/or with the use of any the Company resources (“Works”), Executive shall promptly and
fully disclose same to the Company and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and intellectual property rights therein
(including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair
competition and related laws) to the Company to the extent ownership of any such rights does not
vest originally in the Company.

(ii) To the extent Executive creates written records (in the form of notes, sketches,
drawings, and any other form or media requested by the Company) of Works, the records will be
available to and remain the sole property and intellectual property of the Company at all times.

(iii) Executive shall cooperate with reasonably requested actions and execute all reasonably
requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a government contract) at
the Company’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist the Company in validating,
maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of the
Company’s rights in the Works.

11. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s
remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 9 or Section
10 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach
or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a
breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any
bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by
this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary
restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then
be available.

12. Miscellaneous.

a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

b. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement and the other agreements, plans and
documents referenced herein, and the Company’s charter and bylaws, contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company. If any provision of any
agreement, plan, program, policy, arrangement or other written document between or relating to the
Company and Executive conflicts with any provision of this Agreement, the provision of this
Agreement shall control and prevail. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended
except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

c. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of
this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive
such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term
of this Agreement.

d. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby.

e. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive any termination of Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to preserve such rights
and obligations.

f. Assignment. This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties hereunder,
shall not be assignable or delegable by Executive. Any purported assignment or delegation by
Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no
force and effect. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a person or entity which is a
successor in interest to substantially all of the business operations of the Company. Upon such
assignment, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall become the rights and
obligations of such successor person or entity.

g. Compliance with IRC Section 409A.

(i) If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to Executive in connection with her
employment termination is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(“Section 409A”) and Executive is a specified employee as defined in Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then no portion of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6)
months plus one (1) day after the date of termination (the “New Payment Date”). The
aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to Executive during the period
between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum
on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day
immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period
originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the foregoing applies to the provision of any ongoing welfare
benefits to Executive that would not be required to be delayed if the premiums therefor were paid
by Executive, Executive shall pay the full cost of premiums for such welfare benefits during the
six-month period and the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount of such premiums
paid by Executive during such six-month period promptly after its conclusion.

(ii) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the interpretation of Section 409A and its
application to the terms of this Agreement is uncertain and may be subject to change as additional
guidance and interpretations become available. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding,
all benefits or payments provided by the Company to Executive that would be deemed to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A are intended to comply with
Section 409A. If, however, any such benefit or payment is deemed to not comply with Section 409A,
the Company and Executive agree to renegotiate in good faith any such benefit or payment
(including, without limitation, as to the timing of any severance payments payable hereof) so that
either (i) Section 409A will not apply or (ii) compliance with Section 409A will be achieved.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all reimbursements
for costs and expenses under this Agreement shall be paid in no event later than the end of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such expense. With regard to
any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits,
except as permitted by Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not
be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) the amount of expenses eligible
for reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the
expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year,
provided, however, that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses
reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses
are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.

(iv) If under this Agreement, an amount is paid in two or more installments, for purposes of
Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.

(v) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any
provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits subject to Section
409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation
from service” as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury final regulations,
including the default presumptions, and for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement,
references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “terminate,” “termination of employment” or like
terms shall mean separation from service.

h. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees.

i. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered by hand or overnight courier or three days after it has been mailed by United States
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses

Indemnification Agreement

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of the 21st day of January,
2009, by and between MoneyGram International, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a Delaware
corporation, and Pamela H. Patsley, a director and an officer of the Corporation (the “Employee
Director”).

Recitals

A. The Employee Director has been elected to serve as a director of the Corporation and the
Corporation desires the Employee Director to continue in such capacity.

B. The Employee Director has entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of January 21,
2009 (the “Employment Agreement”) whereby Employee Director agrees to serve as Executive
Chairman of the Corporation, and the Corporation desires the Employee Director to serve in such
capacity.

C. In addition to the indemnification to which the Employee Director is entitled under the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles”), the
Corporation at its sole expense maintains insurance protecting its officers and directors against
certain losses arising out of actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings to which such
persons may be made or threatened to be made parties (“D & O Insurance”).

D. The Articles and the Delaware General Corporation Law specifically provide that they are
not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into (i) between the
Corporation and the members of its Board of Directors with respect to indemnification of such
directors, and (ii) between the Corporation and its officers with respect to indemnification of
such officers.

Agreement

In order to induce the Employee Director to continue to serve in the capacity as a director
and as Executive Chairman, in consideration of the Employee Director’s valuable services for the
Corporation, the Corporation and the Employee Director agree as follows:

1. Continued Service. Employee Director will continue to serve as a director of the
Corporation and as Executive Chairman, in each case, at the will of the Corporation, or in
accordance with separate contract to the extent that such a contract is in effect at the time in
question, so long as the Employee Director is duly elected and qualified in accordance with the
Articles and the Bylaws of the Corporation (“Bylaws”) or until the Employee Director
resigns in accordance with applicable law.

2. Indemnity of Employee Director. The Corporation shall hold harmless and indemnify
Employee Director to the full extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or by any amendment thereof or other statutory provisions authorizing or
permitting such indemnification which is adopted after the date hereof. To the extent that a
change in the Delaware General Corporation Law (or other applicable law), whether by statute or
judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of expenses than would be
afforded currently under the Articles or the Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Employee Director enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by
such change. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof or of
the Articles or the Bylaws or any provision thereof shall limit or restrict any right of Employee
Director under this Agreement or such other documents in respect of any action taken or omitted by
Employee Director in Employee Director’s capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation prior
to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

3. Maintenance of Insurance and Self Insurance.

a. Subject only to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, so long as Employee Director
shall continue to serve as a director of the Corporation (or shall continue at the request
of the Corporation to serve as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise) and/or as Executive Chairman of the Corporation, and
thereafter so long as Employee Director shall be subject to any possible claim or
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that Employee Director was a director
or an officer of the Corporation or served in any of said other capacities, the Corporation
will purchase and maintain in effect for the benefit of Employee Director one or more valid,
binding and enforceable policies of D & O Insurance.

b. The Corporation shall not be required to maintain said policies of D & O Insurance
in effect if said insurance is not reasonably available or if, in the reasonable business
judgment of the then directors of the Corporation, either (i) the premium cost for such
insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of coverage or (ii) the coverage
provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient benefit
from such insurance.

c. In the event the Corporation does not purchase and maintain in effect said policies
of D & O Insurance pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, the Corporation shall
hold harmless and indemnify Employee Director to the full extent of the coverage which would
otherwise have been provided for the benefit of Employee Director pursuant to such D & O
Insurance.

4. Additional Indemnity. Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 5 hereof,
and without limiting any right which Employee Director may have now or in the future pursuant to
the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Articles, the Bylaws, the Employment Agreement, any other
agreement, any resolution, any policy of insurance or otherwise, the Corporation hereby further
agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Employee Director against any and all expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by Employee Director in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether by third parties or
by or in the right of the Corporation to which Employee Director at any time becomes a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Employee Director is or was a director or
an officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the
Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise.

5. Limitations on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Section 4 hereof
shall be paid by the Corporation:

a. for which and to the extent that payment is actually made to Employee Director under
a valid and collectible insurance policy maintained by the Company;

b. for which and to the extent that Employee Director is indemnified by the Company or
receives a recovery from the Company otherwise than pursuant to Section 4;

c. on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Employee Director for
an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Employee Director of securities
of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local
statutory law;

d. with respect to acts or omissions which are not in good faith or which constitute
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

e. with respect to authorization by Employee Director of the unlawful payment of a
dividend or other distribution on the Corporation’s capital stock or the unlawful purchase
of its capital stock;

f. with respect to any transaction from which Employee Director derived an improper
personal benefit; or

g. if a final decision by a Court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine
that such indemnification is not lawful.

6. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Employee Director of
notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Employee Director will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation
of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to Employee Director otherwise than under this Agreement or from
any liability which is not directly related to the failure of Employee Director promptly to so
notify the Corporation. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Employee
Director notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

a. The Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and,

b. Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Corporation
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Employee Director. After notice from the
Corporation to Employee Director of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
Corporation will not be liable to Employee Director under this Agreement for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by Employee Director in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.
Employee Director shall have the right to employ the Employee Director’s counsel in such
action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice
from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of
Employee Director unless (i) the employment of counsel by Employee Director has been
authorized by the Corporation (ii) Employee Director shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Employee Director in the
conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have
employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and
expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be
entitled to continue the defense of any action, suit or proceeding properly brought by or on
behalf of the Corporation or as to which Employee Director shall have made the conclusion
provided for in (ii) above.

c. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify Employee Director under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its
written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which
would impose any penalty or limitation on Employee Director without Employee Director’s
written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Employee Director will unreasonably withhold
its consent to any proposed settlement.

7. Advance Payments.

a. Employee Director shall be entitled to receive advance payments in the amount of all
costs, charges, and expenses, including attorney and other fees and expenses, actually and
reasonably incurred or reasonably to be incurred by Employee Director in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding as described in Section 4 hereof.

b. Employee Director agrees that the Employee Director will reimburse the Corporation
for all costs, charges and reasonable expenses paid or advanced by the Corporation in
defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
against Employee Director in the event and only to the extent that it ultimately shall be
determined in a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that
Employee Director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation for such costs,
charges and expenses under the provisions of this Agreement.

c. The Corporation agrees that if any party with a right to nominate the Employee
Director to a position as a director or officer of the Corporation (or any affiliate thereof
other than the Corporation) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to
contract, bylaws or charter) with Employee Director, then (i) such party (or such affiliate,
as the case may be) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of Employee Director with
respect to such payment and (ii) the Corporation shall reimburse such party (or such other
affiliate) for the payments actually made.

8. Indemnification Request.

(i) Advancement.

a. Employee Director shall in order to request advanced payments according to Section 7
hereof, submit to the Board of Directors a sworn statement of request for advancement of
expenses in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the
“Advancement Request”), stating that (i) the Employee Director has incurred or will
incur actual expenses in defending an action, suit, or proceeding as described in Section 4
hereof and (ii) the Employee Director undertakes to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined in a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Employee Director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this
Agreement.

b. Upon receipt of the Advancement Request the Chairman of the Board, the President or
any Vice President shall authorize immediate payment of the expenses stated in the
Advancement Request within 10 calendar days, whereupon such payments shall immediately be
made by the Corporation. No security shall be required in connection with any Advancement
Request and it shall be accepted without reference to Employee Director’s ability to make
repayment.

(ii) Indemnification.

a. Employee Director, in order to request indemnification pursuant to Section 4 hereof,
shall submit to the Board of Directors a sworn statement of request for indemnification in
the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Indemnification
Request”) stating that Employee Director is entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement. Such Indemnification Request shall contain a summary of the action, suit or
proceeding and an itemized list of all payments made or to be made with respect to which
indemnification is requested.

b. The Board of Directors shall be deemed to have determined that Employee Director is
entitled to such indemnification unless, within 30 days after submission of the
Indemnification Request, the Board of Directors shall have notified Employee Director in
writing that it has determined, by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding based upon clear and convincing evidence, that Employee Director
is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. The evidence shall be disclosed to
Employee Director in such notice which shall be sworn to by all directors who participated
in the determination and voted to deny indemnification.

c. In the event that (i) a majority vote according to Section 8.2(b) cannot be obtained
or that (ii) there is a change in control of the Corporation (other than a change in control
which has been approved by members of the Board of Directors who were directors prior to
such change in control), the following procedure shall take place:

(aa) Employee Director shall choose subject to Corporation approval (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld) counsel who has not performed any services for the Corporation or
Employee Director within the last five years and who is in good standing (“Independent Legal
Counsel”).

(bb) Independent Legal Counsel shall then determine within (i) thirty (30) days after
submission of the Indemnification Request, or (ii) the Employee Director’s acceptance to act as an
Independent Legal Counsel, or (iii) such reasonable time as is required under the circumstances,
whichever comes later, whether Employee Director is entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement. Indemnification may only be denied according to Section 5 hereof and only based upon
clear and convincing evidence. In the case of a denial, Independent Legal Counsel shall submit to
the Board of Employee Directors and to Employee Director within 10 days after the decision a
written opinion disclosing the grounds and the evidence upon which such decision was based. The
decision of Independent Legal Counsel shall be final.

d. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or
conviction, or upon a plea of no contest or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that Employee Director’s conduct was such that indemnity is not available
pursuant to Section 5.

9. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Corporation
contained herein shall continue during the period Employee Director is a director of the
Corporation (including service at the request of the Corporation as a director of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) or is a an officer of the
Corporation and shall continue thereafter so long as Employee Director shall be subject to any
possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Employee Director was a
director or Executive Chairman of the Corporation or serving in any other capacity referred to
herein.

10. Enforcement.

a. The Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this
Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on the Corporation hereby in order to induce
Employee Director to serve or continue to serve as a director of the Corporation and in
order to induce Employee Director to enter into the Employment Agreement and continue to
serve as Executive Chairman of the Corporation, and acknowledges that Employee Director is
relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacities.

b. In the event Employee Director is required to bring any action to enforce rights or
to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Corporation
shall reimburse Employee Director for all of Employee Director’s reasonable fees and
expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any
provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal,
the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or
otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it
enforceable, valid and legal.

12. Governing Law; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination.

a. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware.

b. This Agreement shall be binding upon Employee Director and upon the Corporation, its
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Employee Director, the Employee
Director’s heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of the
Corporation, its successors and assigns.

Except as set forth in the Employment Agreement, if the Optionee’s employment with the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date,
the unvested portion of the Time-Based Option shall be forfeited as described in Section 5 hereof.

Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the applicable Performance-Vesting Date (as defined below),
or as otherwise set forth in the Employment Agreement, the Performance-Based Option shall vest as
follows:

(i) 50% of the Performance-Based Option (“Tranche 1 Performance-Based Option”) shall vest in
full (A) so long as the Common Stock trades on a United States securities exchange or trading
market (which, for the purpose of Section 3(b), shall include an over-the-counter market on the OTC
Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets), on the earlier of (x) the date that the daily closing price of the
Common Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or trading market on which the
Common Stock is traded (the “Applicable Market”) equals or exceeds two (2) times the Option Price
for any period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days during the five-year period following the
Grant Date and (y) if there is a Change in Control (as defined below) during the five-year period
following the Grant Date, on the date of such Change in Control, in the event the per share
consideration in such Change in Control equals or exceeds two (2) times the Option Price or (B) in
the event the Common Stock does not trade on a United States securities exchange or trading market
(such cessation, a “Going Private Event”), on the earlier of (x) following a Subsequent Public
Offering (as defined below), the date during the five-year period following the Grant Date on which
the Equity Value (as defined below) of a share of Common Stock would result in the Investors (as
defined below) having value in their equity securities of the Company (assuming conversion into
Common Stock of all convertible securities then held by the Investors) equal to or exceeding two
(2) times the aggregate amount invested by the Investors in such securities and (y) if there is a
Change in Control during the five-year period following the Grant Date, on the date of such Change
in Control if the aggregate value of the cash, marketable securities and other consideration
received by the Investors pursuant to such Change in Control, together with any distributions or
proceeds previously received by the Investors, in each case, in connection with the equity
securities of the Company held by the Investors, is equal to or exceeds two (2) times the aggregate
amount invested by the Investors in securities of the Company (any of such dates, a “2X Performance
Vesting Date”); and

(ii) the remaining 50% of the Performance-Based Option (“Tranche 2 Performance-Based Option”)
shall vest in full (A) so long as the Common Stock trades on a United States securities exchange or
trading market, on the earlier of (x) the date that the daily closing price of the Common Stock on
the Applicable Market equals or exceeds three (3) times the Option Price for any period of twenty
(20) consecutive trading days during the five-year period following the Grant Date and (y) if there
is a Change in Control during the five-year period following the Grant Date, on the date of such
Change in Control, in the event the per share consideration in such Change in Control equals or
exceeds three (3) times the Option Price or (B) in the event of a Going Private Event, on the
earlier of (x) following a Subsequent Public Offering, the date during the five-year period
following the Grant Date on which the Equity Value of a share of Common Stock would result in the
Investors having value in their equity securities of the Company (assuming conversion into Common
Stock of all convertible securities then held by the Investors) equal to or exceeding three (3)
times the aggregate amount invested by the Investors in such securities and (y) if there is a
Change in Control during the five-year period following the Grant Date, on the date of such Change
in Control if the aggregate value of the cash, marketable securities and other consideration
received by the Investors pursuant to such Change in Control, together with any distributions or
proceeds previously received by the Investors, in each case, in connection with the equity
securities of the Company held by the Investors, is equal to or exceeds three (3) times the
aggregate amount invested by the Investors in securities of the Company (any of such dates, a “3X
Performance Vesting Date”). The 2X Performance Vesting Date and the 3X Performance Vesting Date
are each referred to as a “Performance-Vesting Date.”

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the 2X Performance Vesting Date and/or the
3X Performance Vesting Date does not occur on or prior to the earlier of the fifth anniversary of
the Grant Date and a Change in Control (absent a substitution of the applicable Options), the
Tranche 1 Performance-Based Option and/or Tranche 2 Performance-Based Option, as applicable, shall
be forfeited on such earlier date. Except as set forth in Section 5 hereof, if the Optionee’s
employment with the Company is terminated prior to the 2X Performance Vesting Date and/or the 3X
Performance Vesting Date, the Tranche 1 Performance-Based Option and/or Tranche 2 Performance-Based
Option, as applicable, shall be forfeited, as described in Section 5 hereof.

For purposes hereof, the “Equity Value” shall mean the average daily closing price of the
Common Stock over a consecutive twenty (20) day trading period.

For purposes hereof, “Subsequent Public Offering” shall mean a firm commitment underwritten
public offering of shares of the Company or other event the result of which is that shares of the
Company are tradable on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, NASDAQ National
Market or similar market system, in each case, after a Going Private Event.

For purposes hereof, “Investors” shall mean the “Investors” as defined in that certain Amended
and Restated Purchase Agreement, dated March 17, 2008, by and between the Company and the other
parties thereto, and their respective affiliates (not including the Company).

4. Effect of Change in Control. 

Notwithstanding the vesting provisions contained in Section 3 above, but subject to the other
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, from and after a Change in Control (as defined
below) the following provisions shall apply:

(a) If the Optionee is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the date of a
“Change in Control”, or the Optionee is eligible for further vesting pursuant to the terms of the
Employment Agreement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may vest immediately prior to the
consummation of the Change in Control all or any portion of the Time-Based Option not previously
vested, unless the Time-Based Option or any such portion thereof shall have been previously
terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

(b) If at the time of the Change in Control, the per share Fair Market Value of an Option does
not exceed the per share Option Price, then this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall
immediately terminate in full and be of no further force or effect; and

(c) If at the time of the Change in Control, the per share Fair Market Value of an Option
exceeds the Option Price, then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may:

(i) provide the Optionee a reasonable amount of time (such period of time to be determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion) to exercise the vested and unexercised portion of this Option
(including any portion that may have vested pursuant to Section 4(a)) that is outstanding at the
time of the Change in Control and, if not exercised within such period, have this Option terminate
in full and be of no further force or effect with respect to any unexercised portion of such
Option;

(ii) provide for the termination of this Option in exchange for payment to the Optionee of the
excess of (x) the Fair Market Value of the vested portion of the Option that is outstanding and
unexercised at the time of the Change in Control over (y) the aggregate Option Price for such
vested portion of the Option; or

(iii) if the Change in Control involves the merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another entity, provide for the substitution by the surviving entity or its direct or indirect
parent of awards with substantially the same terms as this Option in accordance with Section 422 of
the Code and Section 12.2 of the Plan.

(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 4, if a Change in Control occurs, and
after giving effect thereto (i) the Common Stock no longer trades on a United States securities
exchange or trading market, and (ii) the Optionee’s employment under the Employment Agreement
either is terminated by the Company without Cause or is terminated by the Optionee for Good Reason
(as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Committee shall accelerate any
portion of the Time-Based Options not previously vested.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean (i) a sale, transfer or
other conveyance or disposition, in any single transaction or series of transactions, of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, (ii) the transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding
securities of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, to an entity or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”)), or (iii) the merger, consolidation reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange of
the Company with another entity, in each case in clauses (ii) and (iii) above under circumstances
in which the holders of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company, as the case
may be, immediately prior to such transaction, hold less than 50% in voting power of the
outstanding securities of the Company or the surviving entity or resulting entity, as the case may
be, immediately following such transaction.

5. Effect of Termination of Employment.

If the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any portion
of the Option that was not vested on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment and that
does not vest pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement shall be forfeited, and any portion
of the Time-Based Option that vests may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date
and (ii) the date that is 6 months after the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment, and
any portion of the Performance-Based Option that vests may be exercised until the earlier of
(i) the Expiration Date and (ii) the date that is six months after the later of the date of the
Optionee’s termination of employment or the date of any subsequent vesting pursuant to Section 5(d)
below, except that:

(a) if the Optionee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for
Cause (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), any portion of the Option that has not
been exercised on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment shall be immediately
forfeited.

(b) if the Optionee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated due
to a Disability (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), the Option may be exercised
until the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after the
date of the Optionee’s termination due to Disability.

(c) if the Optionee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated due
to death, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee’s personal representative or the
administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any Person or Persons to whom the Option has been
transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution until the earlier of (i) the
Expiration Date and (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the Optionee’s
death.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in (b) or (c)  of this Section 5, if the date on
which the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company due to Disability or death is within six
(6) months of the Grant Date of the Option, and the Optionee is an officer or director of the
Company subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, this Option shall not become fully
exercisable until six (6) months and one day after the Grant Date.

(d) As provided in the Employment Agreement, if the Company terminates the Optionee’s
employment without Cause (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) or the Optionee
terminates her employment with Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement),
then (x) the Time-Based Option will continue to vest through the date 12 months after the date of
termination, and (y) the Performance-Based Option shall vest through any Performance-Vesting Date
that occurs during the 12-month period following the date of termination. The number of Time-Based
Options deemed exercisable upon termination shall be calculated after giving effect to the
acceleration of vesting specified in this clause (d).

6. Forfeiture and Repayment Provisions. Unless a Change in Control (as defined above)
shall have occurred after the date hereof:

(a)  The right to exercise this Option shall be conditional upon the fact that the Optionee
has read and understood the forfeiture and repayment provisions set forth in this Section 6, that
the Optionee has not engaged in any misconduct or acts contrary to the Company as described below,
and that the Optionee has no intent to leave employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
for the purpose of engaging in any activity or providing any services which are contrary to the
spirit and intent of the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and similar provisions
in Sections 9 and 10 of the Employment Agreement (collectively, the “Covenants”).

(b) The Company is authorized to suspend or terminate this Option and any other
outstanding stock option held by the Optionee prior to or after termination of employment if
the Optionee engages in any conduct agreed to be avoided pursuant to the Covenants. If, at
any time within two (2) years after the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Optionee engages in any conduct agreed to be
avoided pursuant to the Covenants, then any gain (without regard to tax effects) realized by
the Optionee from the exercise of this Option, in whole or in part, shall be paid by the
Optionee to the Company. The Optionee consents to the deduction from any amounts the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries owes to the Optionee to the extent of the amounts the Optionee owes
the Company hereunder.

(c) Misconduct.

(i) The Company is authorized to suspend or terminate this Option and any other
outstanding stock option held by the Optionee prior to or after termination of employment if
the Company reasonably determines that during the Optionee’s employment with the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries:

(1) The Optionee knowingly participated in misconduct that causes a misstatement of the
financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or misconduct which represents a
material violation of any code of ethics of the Company applicable to the Optionee or of the Always
Honest compliance program or similar program of the Company; or

(2) The Optionee was aware of and failed to report, as required by any code of ethics of the
Company applicable to the Optionee or by the Always Honest compliance program or similar program of
the Company, misconduct that causes a misstatement of the financial statements of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or misconduct which represents a material violation of any code of ethics
of the Company applicable to the Optionee or of the Always Honest compliance program or similar
program of the Company.

(ii) If, at any time after the Optionee exercises this Option, in whole or in part, the
Company reasonably determines that the provisions of Section 6(d) applies to the Optionee,
then any gain (without regard to tax effects) realized by the Optionee from such exercise
shall be paid by the Optionee to the Company. The Optionee consents to the deduction from any
amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes to the Optionee to the extent of the
amounts the Optionee owes the Company under this Section 6.

7. Method of Exercising Option; Payment of Option Price; Delivery of Purchased Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Optionee may exercise the
Option by following the procedures established by the Company from time to time. In addition, the
Optionee may exercise the Option by written notice to the Company as provided in Section 10(l) of
this Agreement that states (i) the Optionee’s election to exercise the Option, (ii) the Grant Date
of the Option, (iii) the Option Price of the shares, (iv) the number of shares as to which the
Option is being exercised, (v) the manner of payment and (vi) the manner of payment for any income
tax withholding amount. The notice shall be signed by the Optionee or the Person or Persons
exercising the Option. The notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price for
all shares designated in the notice. To the extent that the Option is exercised after the
Optionee’s death, the notice of exercise shall also be accompanied by appropriate proof of the
right of such Person or Persons to exercise the Option.

(b) Payment of the Option Price shall be made to the Company through one or a combination of
the following methods:

(i) cash, in United States currency (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer
made payable to the Company); or

(ii) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation) of shares of Common Stock
acquired by the Optionee more than six (6) months prior to the date of exercise having a Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Option Price (only full shares of Common
Stock shall be utilized for payment purposes). The Optionee shall represent and warrant in
writing that the Optionee is the owner of the shares so delivered, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, security interests and restrictions, and the Optionee shall duly endorse
in blank all certificates delivered to the Company.

(c) Upon any exercise of the Option, and subject to the payment of the Option Price under
Section 7(b) and of all tax obligations under Section 8, the Company shall deliver the shares
purchased in certificate form or, if the Company so permits, in book entry form. The certificate(s)
shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, the Optionee’s transferee, or if the Optionee so
requests, in writing at the time of exercise, jointly in the name of the Optionee and another
person with rights of survivorship. If the Optionee dies, the certificate(s) shall be registered in
the name of the person entitled to exercise the Stock Option in accordance with the Plan.

8. Taxes; Accounting Treatment.

(a) The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee will consult with her personal tax adviser
regarding the income tax consequences of exercising the Option or any other matters related to this
Agreement. If the Optionee is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in order to
comply with all applicable federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws or regulations, the
Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state,
local or foreign payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the Optionee’s sole and
absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from the Optionee.

(b) In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by the
Committee, the Optionee may elect to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations arising
from the exercise of the Option by (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire
transfer made payable to the order of the Company), or (ii) delivering to the Company shares of
Common Stock acquired by the Optionee more than six (6) months prior to the date of exercise having
a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes (only full shares of Common Stock shall be
utilized for payment purposes) in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 7(b)(ii).
The Optionee’s election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is
determined.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that for tax and accounting purposes, the Option will
be treated the same as all other non-qualified stock options issued by the Company that contain
substantially the same performance vesting features.

9. Adjustments.

In the event that the Company engages in a transaction such that any dividend or other
distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other
securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other
securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the shares
covered by the Option, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, the terms of this Option (including,
without limitation, the number and kind of shares subject to this Option and the Option Price)
shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4(c) of the Plan.

Upon a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the terms of this
Option (including, without limitation, the number and kind of shares subject to this Option and the
Option Price) by taking any of the actions permitted under this Agreement and in accordance with
Section 4(c) of the Plan.

10. General Provisions.

(a) Interpretations. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms of the
Plan. A copy of the Plan is available upon the Optionee’s request. Terms used herein which are
defined in the Plan shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan, unless
otherwise defined herein. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with
the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Any question of administration or
interpretation arising under this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such
determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties in interest.

(b) No Rights as a Shareholder. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s legal
representatives shall have any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option unless and until such shares are issued

for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of any purchased
shares and the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares.

(c) No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be construed
as giving the Optionee the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, may at any time
dismiss the Optionee from employment, free from any liability or any claim under this Agreement,

(d) Termination of the Plan; No Right to Future Grants. By entering into this
Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges: (a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) that each grant of an option is a one-time
benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options,
or benefits in lieu of options; (c) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants,
including, but not limited to, the times when the option shall be granted, the number of shares
subject to each option, the Option Price, and the time or times when each option shall be
exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) that the Optionee’s participation
in the Plan is voluntary; (e) that the Option is not part of normal and expected compensation for
purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, bonuses, pension or retirement benefits or
similar payments; (g) that the right to purchase Common Stock ceases upon termination of employment
for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Agreement;
(h) that the future value of the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (i) that
if the underlying shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; and (j) the
foregoing terms and conditions apply in full with respect to any prior option grants to the
Optionee.

(e) Option Not Transferable.

(i)  Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or by the Committee, the Option shall not
be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and the Option
shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee or, if permissible
under applicable law, by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. The Option may not
be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation,
attachment or encumbrance of the Option shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or
any Subsidiaries of the Company.

(ii) None of the purchased shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option shall
be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of
or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless such transfer is in
compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) Securities Matters. The Company shall not be required to deliver any shares of
Common Stock until the requirements of any federal or state securities or other laws, rules or
regulations (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to
be applicable are satisfied.

(h) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability
arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by the Optionee.

(i) Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Optionee and their respective heirs,
successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Company and the Optionee, and their
respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

(j) Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of this Agreement
solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way
material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.

(k) Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i) The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Minnesota will govern
all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of this Agreement. Any legal
action or proceeding with respect this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of the United
States for the Minnesota, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereby
irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally,
the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

(ii) THE COMPANY AND THE OPTIONEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS OPTION.

(m) Amendments. The Company may amend this Agreement at any time; provided that,
subject to Section 9 hereof and Section 7 of the Plan, no such amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation or termination shall be made without the Optionee’s consent, if such action would
materially diminish any of the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement; provided, however, the
Company may amend this Agreement in such manner as it deems necessary to comply with applicable
laws.

(n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan and the other agreements referred to
herein and therein and any schedules, exhibits and other documents referred to herein and therein
constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements,
agreements and understandings, both oral and written, whether in term sheets, presentations or
otherwise, among the parties hereto, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof.

(o) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or
incapable of being enforced by any law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated
hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties
as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(p) Optionee Undertaking. The Optionee agrees to take such additional action and
execute such additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable to carry out or
effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed either on the Optionee or upon this
Option pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(q) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution,
this Agreement and the Notice may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

(r) Certain Option Shares Subject to Forfeiture.   Section 4(d) of the Plan contains a
limitation on the number of option shares that may be granted to Executive in any year. Company
hereby agrees to seek approval of an amendment of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company at or
prior to the next shareholders’ annual meeting of the Company in order to permit the full amount of
the Option Shares to be awarded as provided herein. Except with respect to 500,000 Option Shares
to which this Section 10(r) shall not apply (allocated pro-rata between the Time-Based Option and
the Performance-Based Option) (the “Excepted Option Shares”), the Option granted hereunder (other
than the Excepted Option Shares) will not vest and are subject to forfeiture if the shareholders of
the Company do not approve such amendment to the Plan at or before such meeting. For the avoidance
of doubt, this Section 10(r) shall not apply with respect to the Excepted Option Shares.

Exhibit C

RELEASE

This RELEASE (“Release”) is dated as of                             between
MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its direct and indirect
subsidiaries, successors and assigns, the “Company”), and Pamela H. Patsley
(“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive previously entered into an employment agreement dated
January 21, 2009 under which Executive was employed to serve as the Company’s Executive Chairman
(the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Executive’s employment with the Company (has been) (will be) terminated effective
                                ; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8 of the Employment Agreement, Executive is entitled to certain
compensation and benefits upon such termination, contingent upon the execution of this Release;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements contained herein and in
the Employment Agreement, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. Executive, on behalf of her heirs, estate and beneficiaries, hereby waives all claims
against the Company, and any of its subsidiaries, and each past or present officer, director,
agent, employee, shareholder, and insurer of any such entities, from liability for any claims for
Base Salary or bonus, Executive may have against it or them as of the date this Release is
executed, whether known or unknown, including, but not limited to, any claims for salary or bonus
compensation resulting from an alleged violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as
amended, the Older Worker Benefits Protection Act; Title VII of the Civil Rights of 1964, as
amended; Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code; the Civil Rights Act of
1991; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Rehabilitation Act; the Family

and Health Act; the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act; the Employee Polygraph
Protection Act; the Immigration Reform Control Act; the retaliation provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (and including any and all amendments to the above) and/or any other

(including, but not limited to, the Employment Agreement) or implied contract or tort law or public
policy or whistleblower claim, having any bearing whatsoever on Executive’s employment by and the
termination of employment with the Company, including, but not limited to, any claim for wrongful
discharge, back pay, vacation pay, sick pay, bonus payment, and/or future wage loss. This
paragraph does not release any claims that lawfully cannot be waived.

Nothing in this Release is intended to preclude Executive from filing a charge or
participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission or state fair employment practices agency. Executive agrees not to seek or accept any
money damages or any other relief upon the filing of any such administrative or judicial charges or
complaints.

Notwithstanding the above, Executive does not waive or release any claims against the Company
pursuant to benefits due to Executive and obligations of the Company other than salary and bonus
payments and severance payments under the Employment Agreement.

2. Executive acknowledges and agrees that even though claims and facts in addition to those
now known or believed by her to exist may subsequently be discovered, it is her intention to fully
settle and release all claims for salary and bonus she may have against the Company and the persons
and entities described above, whether known, unknown or suspected.

3. Executive relinquishes any right to future employment with the Company and the Company
