Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between the Viad Group, on one hand, and the MoneyGram Group, on the other hand, all obligations under the Subordinated Debt Indenture are (i) Viad Liabilities, and none of such obligations shall be considered to be MoneyGram Liabilities, and (ii) the primary obligation of Viad, and, if any member of the MoneyGram Group is required to make any payment therefor, Viad shall reimburse such payment in the full amount of such payment within one Business Day of receipt of notice that such payment has been made.

Section 3.03 The Dividend.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, TECI shall declare a dividend (the “Dividend”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Final Net Income and shall immediately pay to Viad an amount equal to Estimated Net Income, with the final payment of the Dividend being made in accordance with Section 3.03(f) hereof.

(b) Within 90 calendar days following the Effective Time, MoneyGram shall prepare and deliver to Viad statements of income and cash flows for the Interim Period, and a balance sheet as of the date on which the Effective Time is to occur, for TECI and its subsidiaries (as such may be adjusted following resolution of disputes in accordance with this Section 3.03, the “Interim Period Financial Statements”). The Interim Period Financial Statements shall be prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, as applied in accordance with the past practice of TECI and Viad. Based on the Interim Period Financial Statements and this Section 3.03, MoneyGram shall prepare a certificate setting forth a calculation of (1) the consolidated Net Income of TECI for the Interim Period, minus (2) the sum of all dividends paid by TECI to Viad during the Interim Period in respect of income of TECI earned in the Interim Period other than a special dividend of $7.25 million paid by TECI in respect of certain deferred employee compensation (it being understood and agreed that the payment made by MoneyGram under Section 2.03(a) hereof shall not be included in this clause (2).

(c) During the preparation of the Interim Period Financial Statements and the calculation of Final Net Income, and the period of any dispute within the contemplation of this Section 3.03, MoneyGram shall: (1) provide Viad with reasonable access to the books, records, facilities and employees of TECI; and (2) cooperate fully with Viad, including by providing on a timely basis all information necessary or useful in the calculation of Final Net Income.

(d) After receipt of the calculation of Final Net Income, Viad shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review promptly the calculation of Final Net Income. Unless Viad delivers written notice to MoneyGram on or prior to the 90th calendar day following the delivery of certificate contemplated by Section 3.03(b) hereof (or such longer time as MoneyGram and Viad may agree) specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and basis of all disputed items, Viad shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the calculation of Final Net Income. If Viad so notifies MoneyGram of its objection to the calculation of Final Net

-12-

Income, MoneyGram and Viad shall, within 30 calendar days following such notice (or such longer period as Viad and MoneyGram may agree) (the “Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(e) If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, there remain amounts in dispute, then all amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to an internationally recognized accounting firm that has no material relationship with Viad to be selected by Viad (the “Neutral Auditor”) within ten calendar days after the expiration of the Resolution Period. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditor, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditors shall be borne pro rata as between Viad on the one hand and MoneyGram on the other, in proportion to the final allocation of the dollar amounts remaining in dispute between Viad and MoneyGram as determined by the Neutral Auditors such that the prevailing party pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. The Neutral Auditors shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 3.03 and the presentations by Viad and MoneyGram, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute. The Neutral Auditors’ determination shall be made as promptly as reasonably practical following their selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Viad and MoneyGram and shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(f) In the event that (1) Final Net Income is greater than Estimated Net Income, MoneyGram shall make an additional cash payment to Viad in an amount equal to the excess of Final Net Income over Estimated Net Income (which amount represents the declared but unpaid portion of the Dividend), or (2) Estimated Net Income is greater than Final Net Income, Viad shall make a cash payment to MoneyGram in an amount equal to the excess of Estimated Net Income over Final Net Income (which amount represents the amount paid by MoneyGram to Viad in excess of the Dividend).

Section 3.04 Recapitalization of MoneyGram. On or prior to the Distribution Date, Viad shall consummate a recapitalization of the MoneyGram Common Stock, such that the number of shares of MoneyGram Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Distribution (in accordance with Section 4.02(b) hereof) shall equal the number of shares of Viad Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date.

Section 3.05 Other Agreements. Each of Viad and MoneyGram shall enter into or to cause the appropriate members of its Group to enter into each Other Agreement on or prior to the Distribution Date. If there shall be a conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of any Other Agreement, the provisions of the Other Agreement shall control.

Section 3.06 Credit Agreements. Each of the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, prior to the Effective Time, all necessary consents, waivers or amendments to each bank credit agreement, debt security or other financing facility to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to refinance such agreement, security or facility, in each case on terms satisfactory to Viad and MoneyGram as may be necessary to permit the Merger and the Distribution to be consummated without any material breach of the terms of such agreement, security or facility. Each of Viad and

-13-

MoneyGram shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into, prior to the Effective Time, the MoneyGram New Credit Agreement and the Viad New Credit Agreement.

(a) Subject to Section 5.03 hereof and the Other Agreements, from and after the Effective Time, Viad shall retain or assume (as between the Viad Group and the MoneyGram Group), as the case may be, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each MoneyGram Individual and each member of the MoneyGram Group, and each of their Representatives and Affiliates, from and against:

(i) all Liabilities for Third-Party Claims relating to, arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, the Distribution or to the service prior to the Effective Time by any MoneyGram Individual as an officer, director or employee of any member of the Viad Group, except as provided in the Employee Benefits Agreement and except to the extent covered by insurance; provided such indemnification would be permitted by law if such officer, director or employee made a claim for indemnification;

(ii) all Viad Liabilities;

(iii) any material breach by Viad or any member of the Viad Group hereof or of any Other Agreement;

(iv) all Indemnifiable Losses of any such MoneyGram Individual, member of the MoneyGram Group, Representative or Affiliate relating to, arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, the Viad Assets, the Viad Liabilities, the Viad Business, the Former Viad Businesses, the Viad Individuals or the Viad Group’s Representatives, whether relating to or arising out of occurrences prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any Indemnifiable Losses that Viad may incur as a result of any litigation set forth on Schedule 5.04(b)(iii); and

(v) all Liabilities related to or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any portion of the Distribution Registration Statement or the Information Statement (or any preliminary or final form thereof or any amendment thereto), or necessary to make the

-19-

statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such material relates solely to Viad or any member of the Viad Group; and

(vi) all Viad obligations under Section 3.02(c) hereof.

(b) Subject to Section 5.03 hereof and the Other Agreements, and except as specifically provided in Section 5.04(a) hereof, from and after the Effective Time, MoneyGram shall retain or assume (as between the Viad Group and the MoneyGram Group), and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Viad Individual and each member of the Viad Group, and each of their Representatives and Affiliates, from and against:

(i) all MoneyGram Liabilities;

(ii) any material breach by MoneyGram or any member of the MoneyGram Group hereof or of any Other Agreement;

(iii) all Indemnifiable Losses of any such Viad Individual, member of the Viad Group, Representative or Affiliate relating to, arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, the MoneyGram Assets, the MoneyGram Liabilities, the MoneyGram Business, the Former MoneyGram Businesses, the MoneyGram Individuals or the MoneyGram Group’s Representatives, whether relating to or arising out of occurrences prior to, at or after the Effective Time;

(iv) all Liabilities for Third-Party Claims relating to, arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, the Distribution or to the service prior to the Effective Time by any Viad Individual as an officer, director or employee of any member of the MoneyGram Group, except as provided in the Employee Benefits Agreement and except to the extent covered by insurance; provided such indemnification would be permitted by law if such officer, director or employee made a claim for indemnification; and

(v) all Liabilities relating to or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any portion of the Distribution Registration Statement or the Information Statement (or any preliminary or final form thereof or any amendment thereto), or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that Viad is liable therefor pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(v) hereof.

(c) If an Indemnitee realizes a Tax benefit or detriment by reason of having incurred an Indemnifiable Loss for which such Indemnitee receives an Indemnity Payment from an Indemnifying Party or by reason of receiving an Indemnity Payment, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the Tax benefit (as and when actually realized in cash), or such Indemnifying Party shall pay to such Indemnitee an additional amount equal to the Tax detriment (taking into account any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of such additional amounts), as the case may be. An Indemnitee shall claim any Tax benefit to which it is entitled by reason of an Indemnifiable Loss. If, following a payment by an Indemnitee or an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) in respect of a Tax benefit or detriment, there is an adjustment to the amount of such Tax benefit or detriment, then each of

-20-

Viad and MoneyGram shall make appropriate payments to the other, including the payment of interest thereon at the federal statutory rate then in effect, to reflect such adjustments.

(d) The amount that an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be reduced (including retroactively) by any Insurance Proceeds and other amounts actually recovered by such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Indemnifiable Loss, it being understood and agreed that each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to collect any such proceeds or other amounts to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled, without regard to whether it is the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If an Indemnitee receives an Indemnity Payment in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of such Indemnity Payment and the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually received and (2) the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss, adjusted (at such time as appropriate adjustment can be determined) in each case to reflect any premium adjustment attributable to such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04, each party’s indemnity under this Section 5.04 shall include the increased cost and expense of purchasing insurance against future losses, provided and to the extent that such cost and expense is directly attributable to Indemnifiable Losses.

(e) If any Indemnity Payment required to be made hereunder or under any Other Agreement is denominated in a currency other than United States dollars, the amount of such payment shall be translated into United States dollars using the Foreign Exchange Rate for such currency determined in accordance with the following rules:

(i) with respect to an Indemnifiable Loss arising from payment by a financial institution under a guarantee, comfort letter, letter of credit, foreign exchange contract or similar instrument, the Foreign Exchange Rate for such currency shall be determined as of the date on which such financial institution is reimbursed;

(ii) with respect to an Indemnifiable Loss covered by insurance, the Foreign Exchange Rate for such currency shall be the Foreign Exchange Rate employed by the insurance company providing such insurance in settling such Indemnifiable Loss with the Indemnifying Party; and

(iii) with respect to an Indemnified Loss not described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 5.04(e), the Foreign Exchange Rate for such currency shall be determined as of the date that notice of the claim with respect to such Indemnifiable Loss is given to the Indemnitee.

Section 5.05 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party is obligated hereunder to provide indemnification, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 5.05 shall not relieve any Indemnifying

-21-

Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe such Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and, if practicable, shall indicate the estimated amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee.

(b) An Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and through counsel chosen by such Indemnifying Party (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), may elect to defend any Third-Party Claim, with such an election by the Indemnifying Party being deemed an admission of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third-Party Claim, then, within ten Business Days after receiving notice of such Third-Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), such Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnitee’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article V for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one law firm as counsel to represent such Indemnitee (which firm shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) if, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, either a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim or there may be defenses available to such Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to such Indemnifying Party, and in that event (1) the reasonable fees and expenses of one such separate counsel for all such Indemnitees shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party and (2) each of such Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee shall have the right to conduct its own defense in respect of such claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in this Section 5.05 within the period of ten Business Days described above, such Indemnitee may defend, compromise and settle such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that no such Indemnitee may compromise or settle any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, (1) settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim or (2) settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the Indemnitee.

Section 5.06 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article V shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Without limiting the foregoing, Information may be requested under this Section 6.02 for audit, accounting, claims and litigation purposes, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations, it being understood and agreed that MoneyGram may request and shall be provided under this Section 6.02 such Information as may be necessary for MoneyGram to fulfill its status and obligations as “accounting successor” to Viad (including correspondence with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Hyperion databases, accounting position and policy memoranda, correspondence with independent auditors and details of restructuring costs and expenses).

Section 6.03 Production of Witnesses. After the Distribution Date, each of Viad and MoneyGram shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon written request, its (and its controlled Affiliates’) directors, officers, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be requested (giving consideration to business demands of such individuals) in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved.

Section 6.04 Retention of Records.

Section 6.05 Confidentiality. From and after the Distribution Date, each of Viad and MoneyGram shall hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence all Information concerning the other party obtained by it prior to the Distribution Date or furnished to it by such other party pursuant hereto or to any Other Agreement and shall not release or disclose such Information to any other Person, except its Representatives, who shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.05; provided, however, that Viad and MoneyGram may disclose such Information to the extent that (a) disclosure is compelled by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of such party’s counsel, by other requirements of law (provided that the party compelled to disclose such Information shall provide at least ten days prior notice to the other party) or (b) such party can show that such Information was (1) available to such party on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the other party, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (3) lawfully acquired by such party from other sources after the time that it was furnished to such party pursuant hereto or to any Other Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Viad and MoneyGram shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 6.05 with respect to any Information if it exercises the same care with regard to such Information as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar Information.

Section 6.06 Tax Matters. The foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall not apply with respect to tax matters, which shall instead be governed by Article IV of the Tax Sharing Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES; EXCEPTIONS

MoneyGram understands and agrees that no member of the Viad Group is, in this Agreement or in any other agreement or document, representing or warranting to MoneyGram in any way as to the MoneyGram Assets, the MoneyGram Liabilities, or the MoneyGram Business or as to any consents or approvals required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, it being agreed and understood that MoneyGram shall take all of the MoneyGram Assets transferred to it or any other member of the MoneyGram Group “as is, where is” and that, except as provided in Section 9.01 hereof, MoneyGram shall bear the economic and legal risk that conveyances of the MoneyGram Assets shall prove to be insufficient or that the title of any member of the MoneyGram Group to any MoneyGram Assets shall be other than good and marketable and free from encumbrances.

ARTICLE VIII
INSURANCE

Section 8.01 Insurance Coverage.

(a) The parties intend by this Agreement that MoneyGram and each member of the MoneyGram Group be successors-in-interest to all rights that any member of the MoneyGram Group may have as of the Effective Time as a subsidiary, affiliate, division or department of Viad or as an insured party prior to the Effective Time under any Insurance Policy issued to Viad by any insurance carrier or under any agreements related to such policies executed

-24-

prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that MoneyGram shall have no remedy against Viad if such intent if not achieved.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the definition of MoneyGram Assets, the MoneyGram Assets shall include (1) any and all rights of an insured party under each of the Viad Policies, including rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer, with respect to all MoneyGram Claims; provided, however, that nothing in this clause (1) shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) the assignment of any of the Viad Policies to MoneyGram, and (2) the MoneyGram Policies. The rights set forth in clause (1) and all MoneyGram Policies shall be deemed to have been transferred to MoneyGram at the Effective Time. MoneyGram shall be entitled to receive from Viad any Insurance Proceeds paid to any member of the Viad Group with respect to any MoneyGram Claim under any Viad Policy.

Section 8.02 Post-Merger Claims. If, subsequent to the Effective Time, any Person shall assert a MoneyGram Claim, then Viad shall at the time such MoneyGram Claim is asserted be deemed to assign, without need of further documentation, to MoneyGram all of the Viad Group’s rights, if any, as an insured party under the applicable Viad Policy with respect to such MoneyGram Claim, including rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.02 shall be deemed to (1) constitute (or to reflect) the assignment of any of the Viad Policies to MoneyGram or (2) affect the Viad indemnity set forth herein.

Section 8.03 Administration and Reserves. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article V hereof, from and after the Effective Time:

(a) Viad shall be responsible for (1) Insurance Administration with respect to the Viad Policies and (2) Claims Administration with respect to any Liabilities of Viad; provided, however, that the retention of the Viad Policies by Viad is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under the Viad Policies;

(b) MoneyGram shall be responsible for (1) Insurance Administration with respect to the MoneyGram Policies, and (2) Claims Administration with respect to any Liabilities of MoneyGram; provided, however, that the retention of the MoneyGram Policies by MoneyGram is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under the MoneyGram Policies;

(c) Viad shall be entitled to reserves established by any member of either Group, or the benefit of reserves held by any insurance carrier, with respect to any Viad Liabilities; and

(d) MoneyGram shall be entitled to reserves established by any member of either Group, or the benefit of reserves held by any insurance carrier, with respect to any MoneyGram Liabilities.

Section 8.04 Payment or Refund of Premiums, Retentions and Losses with Respect to MoneyGram Liabilities. MoneyGram shall reimburse Viad for premiums (retrospectively-rated or otherwise adjusted), self-insured retentions or deductible losses that shall

-25-

be due after the Distribution Date under the Viad Policies with respect to the MoneyGram Liabilities, and, prior to the Effective Time, MoneyGram shall pay Viad an amount equal to the premiums paid by Viad on behalf of MoneyGram in respect to the Insurance Policy set forth on Schedule 8.04 (less any amounts previously paid by MoneyGram Group in respect thereof). Viad shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such premiums, self insured retentions, or deductible losses under the Viad Policies with respect to MoneyGram Liabilities on behalf of MoneyGram, whereupon MoneyGram shall forthwith reimburse Viad for any such premiums, self-insured retentions and deductible losses paid by Viad with respect to MoneyGram Liabilities on behalf of MoneyGram. MoneyGram shall not dispute any such premiums, self-insured retentions and deductible losses paid by Viad in good faith. MoneyGram shall promptly receive a refund for any such premiums paid with respect to MoneyGram Liabilities and for any reductions in self-insured retentions or refunded losses received with respect to MoneyGram Liabilities, to the extent that Viad has been reimbursed or credited or has received payment for the same under Viad Policies.

Section 8.05 Allocation of Insurance Proceeds; Cooperation. Insurance Proceeds received with respect to claims, costs and expenses under the Insurance Policies shall be paid to Viad with respect to Viad Liabilities that are Insured Claims under the Viad Policies and to MoneyGram with respect to the MoneyGram Liabilities that are Insured Claims under the Viad Policies. Payment of the allocable portions of the Insurance Proceeds resulting from the Liability Policies shall be made to the appropriate party upon receipt from the insurer. In the event of the exhaustion of coverage under any Viad Policy, Viad and MoneyGram shall allocate Insurance Proceeds equitably based upon the bona fide claims of the Viad Group and the MoneyGram Group, respectively. The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to fully cooperate with respect to insurance matters.

Section 8.06 Reimbursement of Expenses. MoneyGram shall (a) upon the request of Viad, reimburse the relevant insurer or the relevant third-party administrator, to the extent required under any Insurance Policy or Service Agreement with respect to any and all MoneyGram Claims that are paid, settled, adjusted, defended or otherwise handled by such insurer or third-party administrator pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Insurance Policy or Service Agreement and (b) to the extent the cost incurred exceeds internal charges made by Viad to MoneyGram prior to the Effective Time, pay or reimburse Viad, or such third party as Viad may require, for any and all costs, premiums, expenses, losses paid, attorneys’ fees or charges incurred prior to the Distribution Date by either Group or after the Distribution Date by the Viad Group arising directly or indirectly in connection with the payment, settlement, adjustment, defense or handling of any such MoneyGram Claim or under the terms and conditions of any Insurance Policies or Service Agreements (including any reimbursement paid by Viad with respect to any such MoneyGram Claim to any insurer or third-party administrator pursuant to the terms of any Insurance Policy or Service Agreement). MoneyGram shall make any reimbursement required by clause (a) of this Section 8.06 at the time required by the relevant Insurance Policy or Service Agreement. MoneyGram shall make any reimbursement required by clause (b) of this Section 8.06, on a monthly basis.

Section 8.07 Insurer Insolvency. Viad shall not be obligated to reimburse MoneyGram for any MoneyGram Claim under any Insurance Policies where such MoneyGram Claim would have been paid by the insurer or other third party, but for the insolvency of such

-26-

insurer or other third party or the refusal by any insurer or other third party to pay such MoneyGram Claim.

Section 8.08 Assumption of Management of Liabilities. MoneyGram shall make reasonable efforts to negotiate agreements with any and all insurers or third-party administrators whereby MoneyGram shall assume direct responsibility for any and all Liabilities related to it under any Insurance Policies or Service Agreements and Viad shall provide reasonable assistance in this effort.

Section 8.09 No Reduction of Coverage. Viad shall take no action to eliminate or materially reduce coverage under any Viad Policy or Service Agreement for any MoneyGram Claim.

Section 8.10 Future Insurance Coverage. For a period of one year following the Distribution Date, Viad shall assist MoneyGram, to the extent reasonably requested by MoneyGram with the efforts of the MoneyGram Group to secure alternative insurance coverage or claim handling services.

Section 8.11 Assistance, Waiver of Conflict and Shared Defense. Each party agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the other parties in connection with any dispute with any third party (including insurers, third-party administrators and state guaranty funds) related to the Insurance Policies or Service Agreements, but only insofar as such dispute arises out of the acts or omissions of any third party with respect to a MoneyGram Claim. In the event that Insured Claims of more than one Group exist relating to the same occurrence, the parties agree to defend such Insured Claims jointly and to waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of such joint defense. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the indemnity obligations of the parties, including those created hereby or by operation of law.

ARTICLE IX
FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 9.01 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for in this Agreement and the Other Agreements, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall cooperate with the other parties, and execute and deliver, or use its best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument, and take all such other actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by any other party from time to time, consistent with the terms hereof, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, each party

-27-

shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership of all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, that such party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Subject to Section 9.01(c) hereof, if at any time or from time to time after the date hereof any member of the Viad Group shall possess a MoneyGram Asset, or any member of the MoneyGram Group shall possess a Viad Asset, Viad or MoneyGram, as the case may be, shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset to MoneyGram or Viad, as the case may be. Prior to any such transfer, the party possessing such Asset shall hold such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of the party entitled thereto), and shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the party to which such Asset is to be transferred in order to place such party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position it would have been had such Asset been transferred on the Effective Time.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b) hereof, if the valid, complete and perfected assignment or transfer to MoneyGram of any Assets or Liabilities to be transferred under this Agreement or any Other Agreement requires the consent, agreement or approval of or any filing or registration with any Person or Governmental Authority, and as a result of the failure to make or obtain any such consent, agreement, approval, filing or registration such transfer is not effected as contemplated hereby or thereby despite the provisions hereof purporting to effect such assignment or transfer, then, and until such time as any impediment to the validity, completeness or perfection of such assignment or transfer shall have been removed, nullified or waived, the party possessing such Asset or Liability shall hold such Asset or Liability in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of the party entitled thereto), and shall take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the party to whom such Asset or Liability is to be transferred in order to place such party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position it would have been had such Asset or Liability had been transferred on the Effective Time.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.01(a) hereof, prior to the Effective Time, (1) Viad, as the sole stockholder of each of TECI and MoneyGram, shall ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary, proper or desirable to be taken by TECI or MoneyGram to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with the terms hereof and (2) MoneyGram, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary, proper or desirable to be taken by Merger Sub to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with the terms hereof.

Section 9.02 Publicity. Prior to the Distribution Date, each of MoneyGram and Viad shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the Distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.

Section 9.03 Certain Business Matters.

(a) No member of either Group shall have any duty to refrain from (1) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as any member of the other Group, (2) doing business with any potential or actual supplier or customer of any member of the other Group or (3) engaging in, or refraining from, any other activities whatsoever relating to any of the potential or actual suppliers or customers of any member of the other Group.

(b) Each of Viad and MoneyGram is aware that from time to time certain business opportunities may arise that more than one Group may be financially able to undertake, and that are, from their nature, in the line of more than one Group’s business and are of practical advantage to more than one Group. In connection therewith, the parties agree that if either Viad or MoneyGram acquires knowledge of an opportunity that meets the foregoing standard with respect to more than one Group, neither Viad nor MoneyGram shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to any of the others and each may pursue or acquire such opportunity for itself, or direct such opportunity to any other Person.
