not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the

Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer shall not select any employee for participation

Contribution for a Plan Year under the MoneyGram International, Inc. 401(k) Plan was reduced by
sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code or any other legal limitations, and (ii) such employee will
be a member of a select group of
management or highly compensated employees (as that expression is used in ERISA). Prior to the

require for the effective administration of this Plan.

SECTION 3

CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS

3.1. Excess Credits. The Chief Executive Officer may make a credit to a Participant’s Account
to the extent that it is determined that a Participant’s Profit Sharing Contribution under the
MoneyGram International, Inc. 401(k) Plan was reduced by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code or
any other legal limitations. The Chief Executive Officer shall have sole discretion to determine

-3-

 

the amount of the reduction which shall be credited to this Plan, if any, and shall not have any
obligation for uniformity of treatment among Participants or of any other person. In no event,
however, shall the amount credited under this Plan with respect to a Plan Year exceed the amount by
which the Participant’s Profit Sharing Contribution under the MoneyGram International, Inc. 401(k)
Plan was reduced by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code or any other legal limitations for such
Plan Year. The Chief Executive Officer’s decision to make an excess credit in any year shall not
require approval of similar awards at all to any Participant or other person at any future date.

3.2. Crediting to Accounts. The Chief Executive Officer shall credit to the Account of each
Participant the amount, if any, determined for that Participant under Section 3.1. Such credit may
be recorded in cash. Such amount shall be credited as nearly as practicable as of the time or
times when the credits are awarded.

SECTION 4

ADJUSTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

4.1. Establishment of Accounts. There shall be established for each Participant unfunded,
bookkeeping Accounts which shall be adjusted each Valuation Date.

4.2. Adjustments of Accounts. From time to time but not less frequently than each Valuation Date,

increased (or decreased) from time to
time for distributions, credits (including any earnings, gains or losses thereon) and expenses, if
any, charged to the Account.

4.3. Investment Adjustments. The Human Resources Committee shall designate from time to time one
or more investment options in which Accounts may be deemed invested. Such deemed investment
options may include any investment which the Human Resources Committee deems appropriate,
including, but not limited to, fixed interest credits, notional mutual fund(s) or an investment
index. The Human Resources Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the number of
deemed investment options to be designated hereunder and the nature of the options and may change
or eliminate the investment options from time to time. The Human Resources Committee shall adopt
rules specifying the deemed investment options, the circumstances under which a particular option
may be elected (or shall be automatically utilized), the minimum or maximum percentages which may
be allocated to the investment option, the procedures (if any) for Participants’ making or changing
elections, the extent (if any) to which beneficiaries of deceased Participants may make investment
elections and the effect of a Participant’s or beneficiary’s failure to make an effective
investment election with respect to all or any portion of an Account.

-4-

 

SECTION 5

VESTING OF ACCOUNTS

The Account of each Participant shall be fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

SECTION 6

MATURITY

The vested portion of a Participant’s Account shall mature and shall become distributable in
accordance with Section 7 upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

	 	(a)  	the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment;
	 
	 	(b)  	the Participant dies;
	 
	 	(c)  	the Participant incurs a Disability;
	 
	 	(d)  	termination of this Plan, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the
Code and any regulations thereunder.

SECTION 7

DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1. Time of Payment. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Maturity effective as to a
Participant, the Chief Executive Officer shall commence payment of the vested portion of such
Participant’s Account (reduced by the amount of any applicable payroll, withholding and other
taxes). Distribution shall not be made to any Beneficiary until the Chief Executive Officer has
determined that the Beneficiary is entitled to payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where
payment under this Section 7 is made to any “key employee” (as defined under section 409A of the
Code) on account of Termination of Employment, such payment shall commence no earlier than six (6)
months following a Termination of Employment (or upon the death of the employee, if earlier) if
required to comply with section 409A of the Code.

7.2. Form of Payment. Payment shall be made in a single lump sum.

7.3. Designation of Beneficiaries. A deceased Participant’s vested Account shall be payable to the
beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in the Participant’s designation for the MoneyGram
International, Inc. 401(k) Plan. If such designation fails, such benefit shall be payable in
accordance with the rules for automatic beneficiaries under the MoneyGram International, Inc.
401(k) Plan.

7.4. No Spousal Rights. No spouse or surviving spouse of a Participant and no person designated to
be a Beneficiary shall have any rights or interest in the benefits credited under this Plan
including, but not limited to, the right to be the sole Beneficiary or to consent to the
designation of Beneficiaries (or the changing of designated Beneficiaries) by the Participant.

-5-

 

7.5. Death Prior to Full Distribution. If, at the death of the Participant, any payment to the
Participant was due or otherwise pending but not actually paid, the amount of such payment shall be
included in the Account which are payable to the Beneficiary (and shall not be paid to the
Participant’s estate).

7.6. Distributions in Cash. Distributions from this Plan shall be made in cash.

SECTION 8

FUNDING OF PLAN

8.1. Unfunded Obligation. The obligation of the Employers to make payments under this Plan
constitutes only the unsecured (but legally enforceable) promise of the Employers to make such
payments. No Participant shall have any lien, prior claim or other security interest in any
property of the Employers. The Employers shall have no obligation to establish or maintain any
fund, trust or account (other than a bookkeeping account or reserve) for the purpose of funding or
paying the benefits promised under this Plan. If such a fund, trust or account is established, the
property therein shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Employer that established it.
The Employers shall be obligated to pay the benefits of this Plan out of their general assets.

8.2. Corporate Obligation. Neither MGI, the Board of Directors of MGI, the Chief Executive
Officer, the Human Resources Committee, the Employers nor any of their directors, officers, agents
or employees in any way secure or guarantee the payment of any benefit or amount which may become
due and payable hereunder to or with respect to any Participant. Each person entitled or claiming
to be entitled at any time to any benefit hereunder shall look solely to the assets of the
Employers for such payments as unsecured general creditors. If, or to the extent that, Accounts
have been paid to or with respect to a present or former Participant and that payment purports to
be the payment of a benefit hereunder, such former Participant or other person or persons, as the
case may be, shall have no further right or interest in the other assets of the Employers in
connection with this Plan. No person shall be under any liability or responsibility for failure to
effect any of the objectives or purposes of this Plan by reason of the insolvency of the Employers.

SECTION 9

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

9.1. Amendment and Termination. The Board of Directors of MGI (based upon recommendation by
the Human Resources Committee) may unilaterally amend the Plan Statement prospectively,
retroactively or both, at any time and for any reason deemed sufficient by it without notice to any
person affected by this Plan and may likewise terminate this Plan both with regard to persons
expecting to receive benefits in the future; provided, however, that the Participant’s vested
accrued benefit as of the date of such amendment or termination, if any, shall not be, without the
written consent of the Participant, diminished or delayed by such amendment or termination.

-6-

 

9.2. No Oral Amendments. No modification of the terms of the Plan Statement or termination of this
Plan shall be effective unless it is in writing and approved by the Board of Directors of MGI by a
person authorized to execute such writing. No oral representation concerning the interpretation or
effect of the Plan Statement shall be effective to amend the Plan Statement.

9.3. Plan Binding on Successors. MGI will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of MGI), by agreement, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner
and to the same extent that MGI would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place.

-7-

 

SECTION 10

DETERMINATIONS — RULES AND REGULATIONS

10.1. Determinations. The Chief Executive Officer shall make such determinations as may be
required from time to time in the administration of this Plan. The Chief Executive Officer shall
have the discretionary authority and responsibility to interpret and construe the Plan Statement
and to determine all factual and legal questions under this Plan, including but not limited to the
entitlement of Participants and Beneficiaries, and the amounts of their respective interests. Each
interested party may act and rely upon all information reported to them hereunder and need not
inquire into the accuracy thereof, nor be charged with any notice to the contrary.

10.2. Rules and Regulations. Any rule not in conflict or at variance with the provisions hereof
may be adopted by the Chief Executive Officer.

10.3. Method of Executing Instruments. Information to be supplied or written notices to be made or
consents to be given by MGI, the Chief Executive Officer or any other person pursuant to any
provision of the Plan Statement may be signed in the name of MGI, the Chief Executive Officer or
any other person by any officer or other person who has been authorized to make such certification
or to give such notices or consents.

10.4. Claims Procedure. Until modified by the Chief Executive Officer, the claim and review
procedures set forth in this Section shall be the mandatory claim and review procedures for the
resolution of disputes and disposition of claims filed under the Plan. An application for a
distribution shall be considered as a claim for the purposes of this Section.

     10.4.1. Initial Claim. An individual may, subject to any applicable deadline, file with the
Chief Executive Officer a written claim for benefits under the Plan in a form and manner prescribed
by the Chief Executive Officer.

	 	(a)  	If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Chief Executive Officer
shall notify the claimant of the adverse benefit determination within ninety (90)
days after receipt of the claim.
	 
	 	(b)  	The ninety (90) day period for making the claim determination may be
extended for ninety (90) days if the Chief Executive Officer determines that special
circumstances require an extension of time for determination of the
claim, provided that the Chief Executive Officer notifies the claimant,
prior to the expiration of the initial ninety (90) day period, of the
special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which a claim
determination is expected to be made.

-8-

 

     10.4.2. Notice of Initial Adverse Determination. A notice of an adverse determination shall
set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

	 	(a)  	the specific reasons for the adverse determination;
	 
	 	(b)  	references to the specific provisions of the Plan Statement (or other
applicable Plan document) on which the adverse determination is based;
	 
	 	(c)  	a description of any additional material or information necessary to
perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary; and
	 
	 	(d)  	a description of the claim and review procedures, including the time limits
applicable to such procedure, and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a
civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse determination on review.

     10.4.3. Request for Review. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of an initial adverse
benefit determination notice, the claimant may file with the Chief Executive Officer a written
request for a review of the adverse determination and may, in connection therewith submit written
comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim benefits. Any request for
review of the initial adverse determination not filed within sixty (60) days after receipt of the
initial adverse determination notice shall be untimely.

     10.4.4. Claim on Review. If the claim, upon review, is denied in whole or in part, the Chief
Executive Officer shall notify the claimant of the adverse benefit determination within sixty (60)
days after receipt of such a request for review.

	 	(a)  	The sixty (60) day period for deciding the claim on review may be extended
for sixty (60) days if the Chief Executive Officer determines that special
circumstances require an extension of time for determination of the claim, provided
that the Chief Executive Officer notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of
the initial sixty (60) day period, of the special circumstances requiring an
extension and the date by which a claim determination is expected to be made.
	 
	 	(b)  	In the event that the time period is extended due to a claimant’s failure
to submit information necessary to decide a claim on review, the claimant shall have
sixty (60) days within which to provide the necessary information and the period for
making the claim determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the
notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the
claimant responds to the request for additional information or, if earlier, the
expiration of sixty (60) days.

-9-

 

	 	(c)  	The Chief Executive Officer’s review of a denied claim shall take into
account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the
claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

     10.4.5. Notice of Adverse Determination for Claim on Review. A notice of an adverse
determination for a claim on review shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant:

	 	(a)  	the specific reasons for the denial;
	 
	 	(b)  	references to the specific provisions of the Plan Statement (or other
applicable Plan document) on which the adverse determination is based;
	 
	 	(c)  	a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free
of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other
information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits;
	 
	 	(d)  	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan
and the claimant’s right to obtain information about such procedures; and
	 
	 	(e)  	a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section
502(a).

10.5. Rules and Regulations.

may be adopted by the Chief Executive Officer.

     10.5.2. Specific Rules.

	 	(a)  	No inquiry or question shall be deemed to be a claim or a request for a
review of a denied claim unless made in accordance with the established claim
procedures. The Chief Executive Officer may require that any claim for
benefits and any request for a review of a denied claim be filed on forms to
be furnished by the Chief Executive Officer upon request.
	 
	 	(b)  	All decisions on claims and on requests for a review of denied claims shall
be made by the Chief Executive Officer unless delegated as provided for in the Plan,
in which case references in this Section 10 to the Chief Executive Officer shall be
treated as references to the Chief Executive Officer’s delegate.

-10-

 

	 	(c)  	Claimants may be represented by a lawyer or other representative at their
own expense, but the Chief Executive Officer reserves the right to require the
claimant to furnish written authorization and establish reasonable procedures for
determining whether an individual has been authorized to act on behalf of a claimant.
A claimant’s representative shall be entitled to copies of all notices given to the
claimant.
	 
	 	(d)  	The decision of the Chief Executive Officer on a claim and on a request for
a review of a denied claim may be provided to the claimant in electronic form instead
of in writing at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer.
	 
	 	(e)  	In connection with the review of a denied claim, the claimant or the
claimant’s representative shall be provided, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information
relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.
	 
	 	(f)  	The time period within which a benefit determination will be made shall
begin to run at the time a claim or request for review is filed in accordance with
the claims procedures, without regard to whether all the information necessary to
make a benefit determination accompanies the filing.
	 
	 	(g)  	The claims and review procedures shall be administered with appropriate
safeguards so that benefit claim determinations are made in accordance with governing
plan documents and, where appropriate, the plan provisions have been applied
consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants.
	 
	 	(h)  	For the purpose of this Section, a document, record, or other information
shall be considered “relevant” if such document, record, or other information: (i)
was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (ii) was submitted, considered,
or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to
whether such document, record, or other information was relied upon in making the
benefit determination; (iii) demonstrates compliance with the administration
processes and safeguards designed to ensure that the benefit claim determination was
made in accordance with governing plan documents and that, where appropriate, the
Plan provisions
have been applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants;
and (iv) constitutes a statement of policy or guidance with respect to the
Plan concerning the denied treatment option or benefit for the claimant’s
diagnosis, without regard to whether such advice or statement was relied
upon in making the benefit determination.
	 
	 	(i)  	The Chief Executive Officer may, in its discretion, rely on any applicable
statute of limitation or deadline as a basis for denial of any claim.

     10.5.3. Limitations and Exhaustion.

	 	(a)  	No claim shall be considered under these administrative procedures unless
it is filed with the Chief Executive Officer within two (2) years after the
Participant knew (or reasonably should have known) of the general nature of the
dispute giving rise to the claim. Every untimely claim shall be denied by the Chief
Executive Officer without regard to the merits of the claim. No suit may be brought
by or on behalf of any Participant or Beneficiary on any matter pertaining to this
Plan unless the action is commenced in the proper forum before the earlier of:

	 	(i)  	three (3) years after the Participant knew (or
reasonably should have known) of the general nature of the dispute
giving rise to the action, or
	 
	 	(ii)  	sixty (60) days after the Participant has
exhausted these administrative procedures.

	 	(b)  	These administrative procedures are the exclusive means for resolving any
dispute arising under this Plan:

	 	(i)  	no Participant or Beneficiary shall be
permitted to litigate any such matter unless a timely claim has been
filed under these administrative procedures and these administrative
procedures have been exhausted; and
	 
	 	(ii)  	determinations by the Chief Executive Officer
(including determinations as to whether the claim was timely filed)
shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law.

	 	(c)  	For the purpose of applying the deadlines to file a claim or a legal
action, knowledge of all facts that a Participant knew or reasonably should have
known shall be imputed to every claimant who is or claims to be a Beneficiary of the
Participant or otherwise claims to derive an entitlement by
reference to the Participant for the purpose of applying the previously
specified periods.

SECTION 11

PLAN ADMINISTRATION

to amend the Plan Statement and to terminate this Plan, based upon recommendation by the Human
Resources Committee.

11.2. Conflict of Interest. If any individual to whom authority has been delegated or redelegated
hereunder shall also be a Participant in this Plan, such Participant shall have no authority with
respect to any matter specially affecting such Participant’s individual interest hereunder or the
interest of a person superior to him or her in the organization (as distinguished from the

SECTION 12

CONSTRUCTION

12.1. ERISA Status. This Plan is adopted with the understanding that it is an unfunded plan
maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees as provided in section 201(2), section 301(3) and
section 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Each provision shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.

12.2. IRC Status. This Plan is intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement.
The rules of section 401(a) et. seq. of the Code shall not apply to this Plan. The rules of
section 3121(v) and section 3306(r)(2) of the Code shall apply to this Plan.

12.3. Effect on Other Plans. This Plan shall not alter, enlarge or diminish any person’s
employment rights or obligations or rights or obligations under any other qualified or nonqualified
plan. It is specifically contemplated that this Plan will, from time to time, be amended and
possibly terminated.

12.4. Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan Statement or any election
or designation made under this Plan, any individual who feloniously and intentionally kills a
Participant shall be deemed for all purposes of this Plan and all elections and designations made
under this Plan to have died before such Participant. A final judgment of conviction of felonious
and intentional killing is conclusive for this purpose. In the absence of a conviction of
felonious and intentional killing, the Chief Executive Officer shall determine whether the killing
was felonious and intentional for this purpose.

12.5. Rules of Document Construction.

	 	(a)  	An individual shall be considered to have attained a given age on such
individual’s birthday for that age (and not on the day before). Individuals born on
February 29 in a leap year shall be considered to have their birthdays on February 28
in each year that is not a leap year.
	 
	 	(b)  	Whenever appropriate, words used herein in the singular may be read in the
plural, or words used herein in the plural may be read in the singular; the masculine
may include the feminine; and the words “hereof,” “herein” or “hereunder” or other
similar compounds of the word “here” shall mean and refer to the entire Plan
Statement and not to any particular paragraph or
Section of the Plan Statement unless the context clearly indicates to the
contrary.

-14-

 

	 	(c)  	The titles given to the various Sections of the Plan Statement are inserted
for convenience of reference only and are not part of the Plan Statement, and they
shall not be considered in determining the purpose, meaning or intent of any
provision hereof.
	 
	 	(d)  	Notwithstanding any thing apparently to the contrary contained in the Plan
Statement, the Plan Statement shall be construed and administered to prevent the
duplication of benefits provided under this Plan and any other qualified or
nonqualified plan maintained in whole or in part by the Employers.

12.6. References to Laws. Any reference in the Plan Statement to a statute or regulation shall be
considered also to mean and refer to any subsequent amendment or replacement of that statute or
regulation unless, under the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to do so. The terms
“spouse,” “nonspouse,” “married,” “surviving spouse,” and other similar terms shall be construed,
interpreted and applied on a basis consistent with the federal statute known as the Defense of
Marriage Act.

12.7. Effect on Employment. Neither the terms of the Plan Statement nor the benefits under this
Plan nor the continuance thereof shall be a term of the employment of any employee. The Employers
shall not be obliged to continue this Plan. The terms of this Plan shall not give any employee the
right to be retained in the employment of any Employer.

12.8. Choice of Law. Except to the extent that federal law is controlling, this Plan Statement be
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

12.9. ERISA Administrator. MGI shall be the plan administrator of this Plan.

12.10. Delegation. No person shall be liable for an act or omission of another person with regard
to a responsibility that has been allocated to or delegated to such other person pursuant to the
terms of the Plan Statement or pursuant to procedures set forth in the Plan Statement.

12.11. Not an Employment Contract. This Plan is not and shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract of employment between any Employer and any employee or other person, nor shall anything
herein contained be deemed to give any employee or other person any right to be retained in any
Employer’s employ or in any way limit or restrict any Employer’s right or power to discharge any
employee or other person at any time
and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a
Participant in this Plan.

12.12. Tax Withholding. The Employers (or any other person legally obligated to do so) shall
withhold the amount of any federal, state or local income tax, payroll tax or other tax required to
be withheld under applicable law with respect to any amount payable under this Plan. All benefits
otherwise due hereunder shall be reduced by the amount to be withheld.

12.13. Expenses. All expenses of administering the benefits due under this Plan shall be borne by
the Employers.

-15-

 

12.14. Spendthrift Provision. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in any Account
which can be transferred nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary have any power to anticipate,
alienate, dispose of, pledge or encumber the same while in the possession or control of the
Employers. The Chief Executive Officer shall not recognize any such effort to convey any interest
under this Plan. No benefit payable under this Plan shall be subject to attachment, garnishment,
execution following judgment or other legal process before actual payment to such person.

The power to designate Beneficiaries to receive the Account of a Participant in the event of such
Participant’s death shall not permit or be construed to permit such power or right to be exercised
by the Participant so as thereby to anticipate, pledge, mortgage or encumber such Participant’s
Account or any part thereof, and any attempt of a Participant so to exercise said power in
violation of this provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be disregarded by the
Employers.

This section shall not prevent the Chief Executive Officer from exercising, in its discretion, any
of the applicable powers and options granted to it upon the occurrence of an Event of Maturity, as
such powers may be conferred upon it by any applicable provision hereof.
