<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">MoneyGram is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended, provides that, under certain circumstances, a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As permitted by Delaware law, MoneyGram has included in its certificate of incorporation a
provision to eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of
their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain limitations. In addition, MoneyGram&#146;s
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that it is required to indemnify its officers and
directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary, and it is required to advance expenses to its officers and directors as
incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">MoneyGram has procured directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance for the benefit of its
directors and officers. In addition, MoneyGram has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors. These agreements provide, among other things, that it must, subject to
specified exceptions:

").
This Registration Statement relates to securities of the same class as those to which the Prior

S-8 regarding Registration of Additional Securities. Pursuant to Instruction E of Form S-8, the
contents of the Prior Registration Statement are incorporated by reference and made part of this
Registration Statement, except as amended hereby.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed by MoneyGram with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "
SEC
") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"
Securities Act
"), and pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"
Exchange Act
"), are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and shall be
deemed to be a part hereof:
(a) MoneyGram's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with
the SEC on March 3, 2009;
(b) MoneyGram's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, filed with

All documents filed by MoneyGram pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this
Registration Statement from the respective dates of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Teresa H. Johnson, who has given an opinion of counsel with respect to the securities to which the
Registration Statement relates, is an employee and officer (Executive Vice President, General
Counsel and Secretary) of MoneyGram. Ms. Johnson is a participant in the Plan. As of June 3,
2009, Ms. Johnson held 85,962 shares of
Table of Contents
MoneyGram Common Stock, including 1,642 shares of MoneyGram restricted stock and options to
purchase 68,309 shares of MoneyGram Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
MoneyGram is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended, provides that, under certain circumstances, a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
As permitted by Delaware law, MoneyGram has included in its certificate of incorporation a
provision to eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of
their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain limitations. In addition, MoneyGram's
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that it is required to indemnify its officers and
directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary, and it is required to advance expenses to its officers and directors as
incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified.
MoneyGram has procured directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of its
directors and officers. In addition, MoneyGram has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors. These agreements provide, among other things, that it must, subject to
specified exceptions:
•
indemnify each director to the full extent authorized or permitted by applicable
law;
•
maintain insurance policies for the benefit of each director that are applicable for
so long as the director continues to serve as a director and thereafter for so long as
a director is subject to any possible or threatened claim or action relating to the
director's service as a director; and
•
indemnify each director against all expenses, fines, fees and amounts paid in
settlement incurred by the director in connection with a threatened, pending or
complete action relating to the director's service as a director.
In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for procedures for implementing the indemnities
described above, including advancement of expenses.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement, and that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or F-3, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement or is contained in a form of
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
3
Table of Contents
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
