2. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D
Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D
Preferred Stock"), the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible
into shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of MoneyGram
International, Inc. (the "Company") by a holder (other than the
Reporting Persons and their affiliates) who receives such shares
by means of (i) a widespread public distribution, (ii) a
transfer to an underwriter for the purpose of conducting a
widespread public distribution, (iii) a transfer in which no
transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2%
or more of any class of voting securities of the Company, or
(iv) a transfer to a transferee that would control more than 50%
of the voting securities of the Company without any transfer
from such transferor or its affiliates, as applicable (each of
(i) - (iv), a "Widely Dispersed Offering"). The number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion shall be
determined by multiplying each share of Series D Preferred Stock
by 125. The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting while held by
the GS Investors or their affiliates, and while held by any
holder who receives such shares by means other than a Widely
Dispersed Offering.
