MONEY TRANSFERS
     Company’s Money Transfer Services will be offered to Seller’s customers as the “Wal-Mart International Money Transfer by MoneyGram” or any other name upon which the parties mutually agree.
1.   COMPANY’S INSTRUCTIONS. Seller agrees to follow Company’s instructions for the provision of the Money Transfer Services. Company may change the instructions from time to time as long as they remain reasonable and provided Seller is given reasonable prior written notice thereof.
 
2.   COMPETING SERVICES. [*] For purposes of this paragraph 2, the provision of money transfer and/or money orders through a self-service or automated method or kiosk shall not be considered an additional feature, but rather is a separate product not included as part of this Agreement. An additional feature or service will be considered material only if it is likely to result in a material increase in transaction volume for the Money Transfer Service (e.g., a feature which would make a transaction easier for a consumer to execute or complete, to a degree that it is likely to result in a material increase in transaction volume).
 
3.   MONEY TRANSFER PROCEDURES. The Identification Number (as defined below) and PIN (as defined below) must be provided by Seller to the Company each time a Transfer Send or Transfer Receive request is made. Identification Number means the unique and confidential Seller identification number provided by Company to each Seller Location conducting Transfer Send and Transfer Receive transactions. Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) means a second confidential identification number provided by Company to each Seller conducting Transfer Send and Transfer Receive transactions. The PIN will be changed if the security of either identification number has been compromised. It is Seller’s obligation to ensure that its Identification Number and PIN (collectively, the “Numbers”) are kept confidential. Seller agrees to take all commercially reasonable precautions necessary to prevent disclosure of and access to the Services by unauthorized persons and will notify Company immediately if Seller knows or suspects that the Numbers have been disclosed. Company will, as soon as practicable, issue new Numbers to Seller. Seller shall be liable for all use or misuse of its Numbers and shall assist Company in investigating the circumstances of such misuse. Seller hereby acknowledges that the Company will refuse to authorize transactions if the correct Identification Number and PIN are not provided. Seller agrees that Company shall have the right, at any time, to refuse any Transfer Send or Transfer Receive request. Company will not refuse Transfer Send or Receive requests unreasonably.
 
4.   CONSUMER FEE PRICING; TRANSFER SEND AND EXPRESS PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS.
  a.   For each Transfer Send and Express Payment transaction, Seller shall collect from the consumer the Transfer Amount and applicable Wal-Mart Consumer Fee (reduced, where applicable, by the MoneySaver value program). Company will include the Wal-Mart Consumer Fee schedules, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in Company’s System. [*] and no higher than Company Consumer Fee or Adjusted Company Consumer Fee for a comparable transaction. Seller agrees to provide the Company with at least 21 days advance notice of any changes in the Wal-Mart Consumer Fee, to allow Company sufficient time to adjust its computer systems and provide for adequate communication to the Company’s agent network.
 
  b.   Seller shall offer the MoneySaver value program, which shall be applicable to the Wal-Mart Consumer Fee at the same rate (as a percentage of Consumer Fee) offered by Company to all MoneySaver cardholders. Company and Seller will mutually agree on any changes in the MoneySaver value program relating to pricing for the Money Transfer Services.
 
  c.   Seller will follow Company’s prescribed procedures in connection with currency exchange rates as to international transactions. Seller understands and agrees that Company will not set the currency exchange rate applicable to all currency conversions. For those Corridors where Company does not set the rate, the local Company retail representative will determine the currency exchange rate at the time of the Transfer Receive. Company will determine the currency exchange rates for all Transfer
 
[*]   Please refer to footnote on page 1.

      Sends from the United States to Mexico and from the United States to certain other countries pursuant to its Multi-Currency System. Company will determine which currencies and Corridors will be included in the Multi-Currency System from time to time.
 
  d.   Company agrees that it will use best efforts to establish Total Consumer Costs that are lower than the published Total Consumer Costs established by any money transfer service competitor with a larger market share than Company, for comparable money transfer service (exclusive of temporary price promotions of less than 90 days in duration.) [*]
  (i)   If Company decreases the Company Consumer Fee for any reason, other than as set forth in section 4.d.(iii), below, then Company’s Consumer Fee Schedule shall be automatically amended to include the new Company Consumer Fees which shall also be the Adjusted Company Consumer Fees for purposes of computing the Commissions hereunder. In addition, the Wal-Mart Consumer Fee Schedules shall be amended accordingly, if necessary, effective 21 days after notice from Company, or at such earlier date as the parties may mutually agree.
 
  (ii)   If Company wishes to increase any Company Consumer Fee at any time after the effective date of this Agreement, it will give Seller 21 days advance written notice (or such lesser notice as the parties may mutually agree) which shall include the reasons for the Company Consumer Fee increase. If the Company Consumer Fee increase is for Good Reason, or if Seller does not deliver written notice of its objection to Company within the 21 day period, then Company’s Consumer Fee Schedule shall be automatically amended to include the new Company Consumer Fees, which shall also be the Adjusted Company Consumer Fees for purposes of computing the Commissions hereunder. If the Company Consumer Fee increase is not for Good Reason and Seller objects to the increase within the 21 day period, then for purposes of computing the Commissions hereunder, the Company Consumer Fee in effect prior to the increase shall be the Adjusted Company Consumer Fee.
 
  (iii)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Company may engage in pricing promotions or pricing tests in specified Designated Marketing Areas. Such temporary price promotions shall not be deemed a decrease or increase to the Company Consumer Fee or Company Consumer Fee Schedule for purposes of this section.
 
  (iv)   If Company agrees to adjust its pricing according to a request by Seller, (whether such request is for promotional, test or permanently modified pricing), the Commission rate payable to Seller under section 6, below, for transactions subject to the modified pricing may be subject to renegotiation.
  e.   Seller shall not charge consumers additional fees of any kind or nature other than as provided in this Agreement unless agreed to by Company.
 
  f.   (i) Seller shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to the collection of Wal-Mart Consumer Fees, as directed by Company. If Seller becomes aware of a law or regulation which applies to a money transfer transaction, but which is or may be contrary to any direction from Company, Seller shall comply with such law or regulation and give Company notice of such compliance, directed to Company’s Law Department. Seller shall be liable to Company for the Transfer Amount and Wal-Mart Consumer Fee related to any Transfer Send initiated by Seller, regardless of whether Seller ultimately receives payment. Seller is fully responsible and unconditionally liable for all Transfer Sends initiated by individuals at the Locations, for giving Seller’s Identification Number and PIN to the Company’s transaction center, and for all Transfer Sends which are verified by Company, whether or not Seller gives its Identification Number and PIN. Seller and Company will cooperate to develop and maintain mutually agreed upon programs intended to prevent fraud.
(ii) Seller also agrees to take such actions as commercially reasonably requested by Company to prevent fraudulent Transfer Send and/or Receive transactions. Actions requested by Company include but are not limited to instructions in Company’s Money Transfer Services agent guides, fraud and money laundering prevention guides (as updated from time to time) fraud alert memos,
 
[*]   Please refer to footnote on page 1.

         correspondence and various other communications whether verbal or written, from Company to Seller.
 
5.   TRANSFER RECEIVE TRANSACTIONS. Seller shall follow the computerized or telephonic authorization procedures specified by Company prior to disbursement of the Transfer Amount. Seller shall maintain the ability to disburse at least $900 in cash for each Transfer Receive. If a Transfer Receive involves an amount which exceeds that amount or if the recipient requests disbursement in a form other than cash, Seller will disburse the transfer amount by issuing a money order to the recipient through use of the System. Seller shall deposit a Money Order in the amount of each Transfer Receive transaction paid out in cash in order to itself receive reimbursement for cash disbursed. Seller is fully responsible and unconditionally liable for all amounts which Seller, pursuant to a Transfer Receive, wrongfully disburses either to a person other than the intended recipient or as a result of paying out an incorrect amount. Seller shall pay all such wrongful disbursement amounts to Company upon demand, unless such wrongful disbursement was caused by Company or its employees.
 
6.   COMPENSATION.
  a.   Base Commission. Company and Seller agree that beginning on February 1, 2005, Seller shall be entitled to Commissions on Money Transfer transactions (including Transfer Sends, Transfer Receives and Express Payment transactions), in the amount of [*] of the applicable Consumer Fee. Commissions payable to Seller on any new products will be negotiated.
  b.   Performance Bonus. In addition to the above Commissions and Extension Payment, Seller shall be entitled to a Performance Based Bonus, as follows (“Performance Bonus”):
     
Number of Money Transfer transactions   Performance Based Bonus
(per Contract Year)   (as a percentage of the applicable Consumer Fee)
 
[*]
  [*]
[*]
  [*]
[*] or more
  [*]
    For example, if Seller completes [*] transactions in a Contract Year, Company will pay Seller the applicable Performance Bonus on all transactions in excess of [*] in such Contract Year (e.g., [*] for transactions [*] — [*]; [*] for transactions [*] — [*], etc.). For the following Contract Year, Company will continue to pay Seller the same Performance Bonus Seller was entitled to as of the last day of the preceding year. In the event, at the end of such following Contract Year, Seller’s transaction volume for such year did not entitle Seller to the Performance Bonus paid by Company, Seller will refund the Performance Bonus, or applicable portion thereof, to Company within 30 days following the end of the Contract Year. Seller shall be entitled to a Performance Bonus in the upcoming Contract Year based on the transaction volume tier reached in the previous Contract Year.
  c.   Refunds and Hardship Transactions. No Wal-Mart Consumer Fee will be charged and no Commissions or other compensation will be paid to Seller for processing refunds or hardship transactions.
7.   NET SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. Settlement of funds will be on a daily basis. Amounts owed to Company for the Transfer Amount(s) and Wal-Mart Consumer Fee(s) relating to Transfer Send and Express Payment transactions initiated by Seller (“Company Amounts”) shall be totaled on a daily basis and Seller shall transfer said amount into a banking account designated by Company by bank wire transfer on the same day. Commissions due to Seller for Transfer Sends, Transfer Receives and Express Payment transactions shall be calculated on a daily basis and Company shall initiate the transfer of said amount into a banking account designated by Seller via ACH on the day following the calculation of the applicable Commissions. Calculation of the daily Commission shall be based on the Commission rates identified herein. Settlement for transactions occurring on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and any day as to which federally chartered banks in the United States are not open for business shall be made on the following business day for Company Amounts and on the second business day for Commissions.

(“Seller”) are parties to that certain Money Services Agreement effective February 1, 2005 relating to the rendering of Money Order, Money Transfer and related services, and as amended by Amendments 1 and 2 to Money Services Agreement (as amended, the “Agreement”).
 
B.   Company’s parent corporation, which indirectly owns one hundred percent (100%) of Company’s issued and outstanding equity securities, MoneyGram International, Inc., (“MGI”) is contemplating entering into a transaction with Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., and/or their respective Affiliates, for receipt of capital and other funding (the “Transaction”).
 
C.   The parties wish to amend the Agreement to modify certain terms and conditions of the Agreement, as set forth herein.
AGREEMENT:
In consideration of the following terms and conditions, the parties agree as follows:
I. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment Number 3 to Money Services Agreement shall amend the Agreement, as applicable, including Section XIII and the terms and conditions stated in the “Money Orders” section and the “Money Transfers” section. Except as modified by this Amendment Number 3 to Money Services Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in effect and unchanged. The effective date of this Amendment Number 3 to Money Services Agreement is February 11, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), subject to the conditions specified in Section VII, below.
II. Additional Money Transfer Commission. Seller shall be entitled to an Extension Payment of an additional [*] of the applicable Consumer Fee, making the Commissions rate [*] effective upon the closing of the Transaction. Effective February 1, 2011, Seller shall be entitled to an Extension Payment of an additional [*] of the applicable Consumer Fee, making the Commissions rate [*].

III. Co-operative Marketing Allowance. Company agrees to expend on behalf of Seller [*] each Contract Year to be used for the promotion of Money Transfer Services and Money Order Services at Seller Locations (the “Marketing Allowance”). The Marketing Allowance shall be used for mutually agreeable promotions each Contract Year, provided that such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
     This Service Level Agreement (“Agreement”) supplements and amends that certain Money Services Agreement, effective February 1, 2005 by and between Travelers Express Company, Inc., MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (the “Money Services Agreement”). Terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided by the Money Services Agreement.
     Whereas, the Money Services Agreement provides that the parties will use and install the Company’s DeltaWorks! processing system to facilitate Seller’s performance of money transfers through the Company’s money transfer network, and the sale and printing of money orders through Company’s money order network; and
     Whereas, the parties wish to further clarify the components of Company’s computer systems used to process money transfers and money orders and to provide for certain service levels applicable to those systems; and
     Whereas, the parties wish to require Company to perform the Money Services Agreement in conformance with these service level requirements.
     Now therefore, the parties agree that this Agreement supplements the Money Services Agreement to add the following:
Article 1
1.1 The following defined terms shall be used in this Agreement.
1.2 Company Main Processing System. The Company Main Processing System shall mean and include the following components:
(a)   DeltaWorks: DeltaWorks means all software and the network connectivity from Company to Seller, terminating at the Seller firewall, comprised of middleware and operating system services, security and transaction routing capabilities.
(b)   Money Order System: Money Order System means the application(s) processing all money order transactions through the Company’s Tandem and mainframe computer systems, but not including the mainframe computer hardware.
(c)   Money Transfer System: Money Transfer System means the application(s) processing all money transfer authorization transactions through Company’s mainframe computer but not including the mainframe computer hardware.
1.3 DeltaWorks POS Devices: DeltaWorks POS Devices means the personal computers and printers located in Seller’s store locations for use by Seller’s customer service associates in providing the Services, which devices connect to the Seller’s network in order to process transactions through DeltaWorks.
Article 2
2.1 Service Level Standards. Company agrees that it will meet or exceed the following service level standards (“Service Level Standards”) in its performance of the Services.
(a) Computer Systems Redundancy. The Company Main Processing System shall be configured to load-balance all money transfer authorizations and money order processing between two redundant DeltaWorks processing systems as described in this subsection. If one DeltaWorks processing system has severed connectivity and does not respond to authorization and processing requests, Company will automatically reroute all subsequent requests to the other DeltaWorks processing system. Company will resume load balancing when its computer systems detect restored connectivity. The Systems shall be configured to process through the redundant network; provided

26


 

however, that Company shall operate the Money Transfer System using a single IBM mainframe computer.
(b) Computer Systems Availability. The Service will be available to Seller for the processing of both Money Order Services and Money Transfer Services initiated through Company’s DeltaWorks POS Devices at the Locations 99.9% of the Committed Time during each calendar month. Availability shall be measured by dividing the aggregate time of unscheduled outage periods for a given month by the total amount of Committed Time available for that month, then multiplying by 100, and subtracting the result from 100.00%. An Unscheduled Outage shall be considered the amount of time that the Company Main Processing System (exclusive of individual Deltaworks POS Devices) is not responding to Seller’s processing requests within a 20 second timeframe of the processing request being sent by Seller. The following shall not be included in the measurement of Unscheduled Outage periods but shall be considered in the measurement of Committed Time: Seller network or telecommunications downtime, downtime at individual DeltaWorks POS Devices or other POS devises, either at Seller or at individual agent or biller locations. As used in this Agreement, (a)“Committed Time” shall mean 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, but excluding the following periods of Scheduled Outage, and (b) “Scheduled Outage” shall mean (1) that time period from 11 PM Saturday to 5:00 A.M Sunday Central Time each week during which the Company’s Money Transfer System is unavailable due to routine maintenance; and (2) any time period as to which Seller has consented to waive that down time as affecting availability.
2.2 Service Interruptions. Company will provide Seller with 48 hours advance notice of any planned interruption, including the reasons, date(s), and anticipated times for the outage. If Seller does not object to the planned interruption in writing within 24 hours after receipt of notice, then Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to the planned outage as specified in the notice, in which case such outage shall be considered a Scheduled Outage. If Seller objects to the planned interruption, it shall state the reasons for such objection and the parties shall work together in good faith to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution. Seller will not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any planned outage.
2.3 Evaluation and Reporting of Service Level Standards. Within 15 calendar days after the end of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Company will provide Seller with an accurate written and graphical evaluation of Company’s performance of each of the Service Level Standards during the just concluded calendar month for each component of the Company Main Processing System. For any month in which Company did not meet a Service Level Standard, the written evaluation shall include a corrective action plan describing root cause for the failure and steps being taken to-prevent the reoccurrence of such failure.
2.4 Failure to Meet Service Level Standards. Company shall pay Seller the following penalties in the event that Company fails to meet the Service Level Standards set forth above or fails to accurately report those Service Levels to Seller within the allocated time period. If Company fails to meet anyone of the Service Level Standards during a calendar month or fails to accurately report those service level standards within the allocated time period, then Company shall pay Seller a penalty equal to [*] received by Seller during the previous quarter plus [*] percent. If Company fails to meet any two of the Service Level Standards during a calendar month, Company shall pay Seller a penalty equal to [*] received by Seller during the previous quarter plus [*] percent. If at any time Company fails to meet the SAME Service Level Standard in any 3 consecutive calendar months as to the entire Company Main Processing System, which results in a substantial impact to the Services, Seller may terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice to Company. Any notice of termination shall be given within 60 days following the event giving rise to the right to terminate.
2.5 Monitors and Alerting. Company shall provide continuous monitoring of all components of the Company Main Processing System to ensure Money Order Services and Money Transfer Services capabilities. Company shall immediately investigate any reduction in systems capacity or unavailability of systems at the Company Main Processing System (not individual Deltaworks P~S Devices) and shall use its best efforts to report to Seller’s Field Support within fifteen (15) minutes of discovery. Alerting shall be accomplished via industry standard protocols and methods.

Re: Agreements relating to the Trust Agreement dated March 14th, 2008 (the “Trust Agreement”)
Dear Jane:
This letter sets forth several items of agreement between Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”) and MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. (“MoneyGram”), relating to the Trust Agreement dated March ___, 2008. If you are in agreement, please countersign this letter and return a fully executed copy to me.
1. Remittances to the Trust. Upon the establishment of the Trust, Wal-Mart shall remit funds into the trust established pursuant to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust”), rather than directly to MoneyGram as previously contemplated by the parties’ Money Services Agreement dated February 1, 2005, as amended (the “Money Services Agreement”). If for any reason a remittance is not directed to the Trust, Wal-Mart will make the remittance directly to MoneyGram as contemplated by the Money Services Agreement.
2. Refund of Special Remit Program Funds to MoneyGram. Beginning with the first remittance into the Trust, Wal-Mart will release and pay to MoneyGram, on a dollar-for-dollar basis commensurate with the funds deposited into the Trust, funds which have been withheld by Wal-Mart pursuant to the Special Remit Program established by Amendment Number 2 to the Money Services Agreement (the “Special Remit Program Funds”). The Special Remit Program Funds will be released to MoneyGram in connection with the initial [*] of remittances into the Trust, and without regard to whether the aggregate balance in the Trust is less than [*] due to withdrawals from the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
3. Wal-Mart and MoneyGram intend to minimize the negative financial impact of the Trust to the extent reasonably practicable. The parties agree that if the mechanics and operation of the Trust have a negative financial impact on either party, including on MoneyGram’s yield from the Trust assets, the parties will discuss opportunities for adjustment of the mechanics and operation of the Trust that may achieve an economic benefit over the current mechanics and operation of the Trust. For avoidance of doubt, this provision is in no way meant to modify the permissible investments in which the Trust assets will be invested, or to allow an increase in the amount of risk associated with such permissible investments.
4. The parties recognize that in the event that a Blocking Period (as defined in the Trust Agreement) occurs, a reporting and reconciliation system will be required in order to track items which have been paid or refunded by either party. The parties will work in good faith to establish and agree on such a system as soon after the establishment of the Trust as is practicable.
5. MoneyGram shall provide reporting to Wal-Mart, during the term of the Trust Agreement, in order that Wal-Mart shall have the information necessary to ensure that the amounts requested by MoneyGram to be released from the Trust pursuant to a Company Order are accurate. MoneyGram shall provide such reporting to Wal-Mart prior to the submission of any Company Order to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement. Wal-Mart will continue to provide all reporting to MoneyGram on Money Orders and Money Transfers sold in Wal-Mart Locations that was provided prior to the establishment of the Trust, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.
If you agree with the above, please execute this letter agreement and return a fully executed copy at your earliest convenience.
