Item 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On August 24, 2006, the Board of Directors of Viad Corp adopted an amendment to the Viad Corp Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Plan”) in order to make clear that references to “Company,” in the context of payment obligations related to a change of control, were intended to mean MoneyGram International, Inc. (“MoneyGram”), not Viad Corp, and that such obligations were not contingent on the covered participants being employed by Viad Corp at the time of the change of control. At the time of the spin-off of MoneyGram on June 30, 2004, the Plan obligations were assumed by Travelers Express Company, Inc. (“Travelers Express”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MoneyGram. The obligations of Travelers Express were subsequently assumed by MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MoneyGram, in connection with the merger of Travelers Express with and into MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. on December 31, 2005. Amendment No. 4 to the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10 and is incorporated by reference herein.
