extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be
required thereby.

amendments described in Section 1 hereof shall become effective upon the
occurrence of each of the following: (a) the receipt by the Trustee of (i) an
Officers' Certificate certifying that the Holders of at least a majority in

     The undersigned hereby certifies that he is the duly elected, qualified
and acting Vice President – General Counsel and Secretary of Viad Corp, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and pursuant to Section 12 of that
certain Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of February 28, 2002
between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (formerly Wells Fargo Bank
Minnesota, N.A.), as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”), hereby certifies to the
Rights Agent as follows:

     1. On July 1, 2004, the Company effected a one-for-four reverse stock
split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of shares of its common stock, par value
$1.50 per share (the “Common Shares”). Each four Common Shares outstanding at
the time the Reverse Stock Split was effected were converted into one Common
Share.

     2. Pursuant to Section 11(n) of the Rights Agreement, the number of
Preferred Shares (as defined in the Rights Agreement) purchasable upon the
exercise of each Right was increased from one one-hundredth of a Preferred
Share to one twenty-fifth of a Preferred Share.

     3. Pursuant to Section 11(n) of the Rights Agreement, the number of
outstanding Rights was decreased by a factor of four such that each Common
Share outstanding immediately after the Reverse Stock Split shall have issued
with respect to it one Right.

     4. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations setting forth the rights,
preferences and limitations of the Preferred Shares, as a result of the Reverse
Stock Split, each Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of $0.25 per share but will be entitled to an
aggregate dividend of 25 times the dividend declared per Common Share. In the
event of liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to a
minimum preferential liquidation payment of $25 per share but will be entitled
to an aggregate payment of 25 times the payment made per Common Share. Each
Preferred Share will have 25 votes, voting together with the Common Shares.
Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in
which Common Shares are exchanged, each Preferred Share will be entitled to
receive 25 times the amount received per Common Share.

     5. As of the date hereof, a Distribution Date has not occurred.

     6. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings given
to them in the Rights Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate this 9th
day of July, 2004.
