THIS AMENDMENT to the Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the
“Plan”) is made by the Administrative Committee of the Plan (the “Administrative
Committee”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the Plan for
the benefit of its employees; and

WHEREAS, Section 13.1 of the Plan provides that the Administrative Committee has
the authority to amend the Plan at any time; and

WHEREAS, the Administrative Committee desires to amend the Plan to (i) clarify
automatic enrollment provisions for temporary employees and interns who become
eligible for the Plan; (ii) exclude compensation paid by affiliates who are not

(iii) update the definition of eligible retirement plans for receiving rollover

the participant’s estate or any relatives that may be identified; and (vi) make
such other changes as described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective as of
August 21, 2012:

1. Section 1.19 is amended to read as follows:

1.19 Compensation will have the meaning set forth in subsection (a), (b), (c),
(d) or (e) hereof, whichever is applicable:

(a) Benefit Compensation. For purposes of determining the amount of Before-Tax
Contributions pursuant to Section 3.1, determining the amount of Matching
Contributions pursuant to Section 3.3, allocating Supplemental Contributions
pursuant to Section 5.3, and for all other purposes except those set forth in
subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof, “Compensation” means, for any Plan
Year, the total of the amounts described in subsections (1) and (2), excluding
the amounts described in subsections (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7), determined as
follows:

(1) All amounts that are wages within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a) and
all other payments of compensation to an Employee by an Affiliate (in the course
of the Affiliate’s trade or business) for which the Affiliate is required to
furnish the Employee a written statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3)
and 6052 (i.e., all amounts reportable by Affiliates as wages subject to income
tax on IRS Form W- 2); provided, such amounts will be determined without regard
to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature
or location of employment or the services performed [such as the exception for
agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)]; plus

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Any elective deferral (as defined in Section 402(g)(3)), and any amount
which is contributed or deferred by an Affiliate at the election of the Employee
and which is not includable in the gross income of the Employee by reason of
Code Sections 125, 457 or 132(f)(4), including any amounts not available to an
Employee in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the Employee is unable
to certify that he has other health coverage; excluding

(3) All amounts included in subsection (1) that consist of any reimbursements or
other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and noncash), moving expenses,
deferred compensation and welfare benefits (even if includable in gross income);
excluding

(4) All amounts included in subsection (1) or (2) and not otherwise excluded
under subsection (3) that are paid on the payroll of an Affiliate that is not a
Participating Company; excluding

(5) All amounts included in subsection (1) or (2) and not otherwise excluded
under subsection (3) or (4) that are paid after the Participant’s severance from
employment with all Affiliates, except to the extent that (A) the Compensation
is paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after severance from employment or the end
of the Plan Year that includes the date of severance from employment, and
(B) (i) the Compensation is regular compensation for services during the
Employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the
employee’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential),
commissions, bonuses or other similar payments, and the Compensation would have
been paid to the Employee prior to severance from employment if the employee had
continued in employment with an Affiliate, or (ii) the Compensation is payment
for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the Employee
would have been able to use if employment had continued and the Compensation
would have been included in Compensation under the Plan if paid prior to
severance from employment. The exclusion under this subsection does not apply to
payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for an
Affiliate because of qualified military service under Code Section 414(u)(1), to
the extent the payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have
received if the individual had continued to perform services for an Affiliate
rather than entering qualified military service. For purposes of this
subsection, a Participant will not be considered to have a severance from
employment if, in connection with a change of employment, the Participant’s new
employer maintains the Plan with respect to the Participant; excluding

(6) All amounts otherwise included in Compensation pursuant to subsections
(1) through (5) that consist of any amounts paid or made available to a
Participant during the Plan Year while he is not an Active Participant;
excluding

(7) All Compensation in excess of $200,000 (or such other limit as is applicable
for the Plan Year under Code Section 401(a)(17)).

(b) Top-Heavy Compensation. Solely for purposes of Section 14.3 (relating to
minimum Contributions under a Top-Heavy Plan), “Compensation” means, with
respect to a Participant for a specified period, the amounts from all Affiliates
referred to in subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) hereof minus the amounts described
in subsections (a)(5) and (a)(7) hereof.

(c) Section 415 Compensation. Solely for purposes of Section 6.6 (relating to
maximum contribution and benefit limitations under Code Section 415),
“Compensation” means, with respect to a Participant for a Limitation Year, the
total of the amounts from all Affiliates referred to in subsections (a)(1) and
(a)(2), less the amounts described in subsections (a)(5) and (a)(7), if
“Limitation Year” were substituted for “Plan Year.”

(d) Key Employee and Highly Compensated Employee Compensation. Solely for
purposes of determining which Employees are Key Employees and which Employees
are Highly Compensated Employees for any applicable Plan Year, “Compensation”
means, with respect to an Employee for a specified Plan Year, the total of the
amounts from all Affiliates referred to in subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2), less
the amount described in subsection (a)(5).

(e) Testing Compensation. For purposes of performing discrimination testing to
ensure compliance with Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k) and 401(m) and for
purposes of allocating Supplemental Contributions under Section 5.3(d),
“Compensation” generally means the total of the amounts from all Affiliates
determined under subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2), but excluding the amounts
determined under subsections (a)(5), (a)(6) and (a)(7); provided, on a Plan
Year-by-Plan Year basis, the Administrative Committee may elect to use any other
definition that satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements of Code
Section 414(s).

2. Section 1.22(b) is amended to read as follows:

(b) An individual classified as an independent contractor or leased employee or
an Employee of a company that is not a Participating Company under a

described in Code Section 408(a), (ii) an individual retirement annuity
described in Code Section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), (iii) a
qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a) the terms of which permit the
acceptance of rollover distributions, (iv) an annuity plan described in Code
Section 403(a), (v) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b),
(vi) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state,
political subdivision of a state or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for
amounts transferred from the Plan, or (vii) a Roth IRA described in Code
Section 408A. This definition will also apply in the case of a distribution to a
surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee
under a qualified domestic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). In the case of a
distribution to a non-spouse Beneficiary, Eligible Retirement Plan means either
(i) an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), (ii) an
individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) (other than an
endowment contract), or (iii) a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, in each
case established for the purpose of receiving the distribution on behalf of the
Beneficiary.

4. Section 1.66 is amended to read as follows:

1.66 Spouse or Surviving Spouse means, with respect to a Participant, the person
who is treated as married to such Participant under the laws of the state in
which the Participant resides, subject to the limitations of the Defense of
Marriage Act. In addition, a Participant’s former Spouse will be treated as his
Spouse or Surviving Spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic
relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p).

5. Subsection (2) of Section 2.1(a) is amended to read as follows:

(2) Change in Status. A Temporary Employee who ceases to be a Temporary Employee
prior to meeting the eligibility requirements in subsection (a)(1), but who
continues to be or later becomes a Covered Employee, will become an Active
Participant on the later of (i) the first day of the first payroll period that
begins after the date of such change in status, or (ii) the Entry Date
coinciding with or next following the Employee’s completion of 30 days of
service with the Affiliates, provided he is a Covered Employee on such initial
date of participation.

6. Section 2.1(d) is amended to read as follows:

(d) Predecessor Employer. To the extent (i) determined by the Controlling
Company or the Administrative Committee, (ii) set forth on Schedule B hereto (or
in other records of the Controlling Company or the Administrative Committee),
and (iii) not otherwise counted hereunder, an Employee’s periods of employment
with one or more companies or enterprises acquired by or merged into, or all or
a portion of the assets or business of which are acquired by, an Affiliate, or
which was previously an Affiliate but is no longer an Affiliate, will be taken
into account in determining his service under this Section 2.1, provided that
such Employee was employed by such company or enterprise on the effective date
of the transaction and became an Employee of an Affiliate as a result of such
transaction.

7. Section 2.2(b) is amended to read as follows:

(b) Termination before Participation. If a Covered Employee satisfies the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 2.1, terminates employment with a
Participating Company (and all other Participating Companies) before the Entry
Date on which he otherwise would become an Active Participant, and then is
reemployed by a Participating Company, he will become an Active Participant as
of the later of (i) the Entry Date on which he otherwise would have become an
Active Participant if he had not terminated employment or (ii) the date he is
reemployed as a Covered Employee. For this purpose, the eligibility requirements
from Section 2.1 that are applied will be the requirements that apply to the job
classification that the Covered Employee has upon rehire (e.g., Temporary
Employee or otherwise).

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Section 2.3(a) is amended to read as follows:

(a) Exclusion Before Participation. If a Covered Employee (i) satisfies the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 2.1, (ii) changes his employment
status (but remains employed) so that he ceases to be a Covered Employee before
the Entry Date on which he otherwise would become an Active Participant, and
(iii) then again changes his employment status and becomes a Covered Employee
prior to completing a Break in Service, he will become an Active Participant as
of the later of (A) the date that would have been his Entry Date, or (B) the
date he again becomes a Covered Employee. For this purpose, the eligibility
requirements from Section 2.1 that are applied will be the requirements that
apply to the job classification that the Covered Employee has upon return to
Covered Employee status (e.g., Temporary Employee or otherwise). If an Employee
covered by this subsection does complete a Break in Service prior to again
becoming a Covered Employee, his entry to participation in the Plan will be
governed by Section 2.2(c).

9. Section 2.3(c) is amended to read as follows:

(c) Change to Covered Employee Status. If an Employee who first satisfied the
eligibility requirements of Section 2.1 while he was not a Covered Employee
subsequently changes his employment status (including rehire) so that he becomes
a Covered Employee, he will become an Active Participant as of the later of
(i) the date that would have been his Entry Date, or (ii) the date of his change
in status. For this purpose, the eligibility requirements from Section 2.1 that
are applied will be the requirements that apply to the job classification that
the Employee has upon becoming a Covered Employee (e.g., Temporary Employee or
otherwise).

10. A new section 2.4 is added to read as follows:

2.4 Participant Information. Each Covered Employee who becomes a Participant
will, as soon as practicable thereafter, execute and file with the
Administrative Committee such personal information and data as the
Administrative Committee deems necessary for the orderly administration of the
Plan. In addition, each Participant will keep the Administrative Committee or
its delegate or agent informed of any changes in such information, including
changes to his address and the address(es) of his Beneficiary(ies).

11. The introductory paragraph of Section 3.1(b) is amended to read as follows:

(b) Deferral Elections. Each Active Participant who desires that his
Participating Company make a Before-Tax Contribution on his behalf may make a
Deferral Election. Such Deferral Election will be on a form provided by the
Administrative Committee, through an interactive telephone or internet-based
system or in such other manner as the Administrative Committee may prescribe,
and will provide for the reduction of the Active Participant’s Compensation for
each payment of eligible Compensation made while he is an Active Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and absent an affirmative election to the
contrary, (i) each Employee who becomes a Participant due to change in status
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(2) or 2.3, or who is eligible for the Plan
immediately upon rehire or return to status as a Covered Employee as described
in Sections 2.2(b) and (c), will be deemed to have made a Deferral Election at a
rate equal to 3% (or such other amount as the Administrative

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Committee determines, in its sole discretion), effective as soon as practicable
following the later of the 30th day after such change in status or his or her
date of initial participation or return to participation; and (ii) each other
Covered Employee hired on or after January 1, 2006, will be deemed to have made
a Deferral Election at a rate equal to 3% (or such other amount as the
Administrative Committee determines, in its sole discretion) as soon as
practicable on or after his or her date of initial participation in the Plan.
The Administrative Committee in its sole discretion may prescribe such
nondiscriminatory terms and conditions governing Deferral Elections as it deems
appropriate. Subject to any modifications, additions or exceptions that the
Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary, appropriate
or helpful, the following terms will apply to Deferral Elections:

12. Section 6.2(d) is amended to read as follows:

(d) Discretionary Return of Elective Deferrals. If after the reductions
described in subsections (b) and (c) hereof, (i) a Participant’s aggregate
Elective Deferrals made for any calendar year under the Plan and any other
plans, contracts or arrangements with Participating Companies and any other
employers still exceed the Maximum Deferral Amount, and (ii) such Participant
submits to the Administrative Committee, on or before the March 1st following
the end of such calendar year (or such later date permitted by the
Administrative Committee), a written request that the Administrative Committee
distribute to such Participant all or a portion of his remaining Before-Tax
Contributions made for such calendar year, then the Administrative Committee
may, but will not be required to, cause the Trustee to distribute such amount,
plus any allocable income or loss up to the last day of such calendar year, to
such Participant in the manner described in subsection (b) hereof on or before
the April 15 following the end of the year in which the Maximum Deferral Amount
was exceeded.

13. Section 7.3(e) is amended to read as follows:

(e) Sales and Purchases of Company Stock. The Investment Funds for the Plan will
include a Company Stock Fund. The Company Stock Fund will be subject to the
following rules:

(1) To the extent that any cash amounts received by or held in the Trust Fund
are to be invested in the Company Stock Fund, the Trustee, as properly directed
by the Administrative Committee, will effect purchases of whole shares of
Company Stock pursuant to procedures established by the Administrative
Committee. The Trustee will make such purchases in compliance with all
applicable securities laws and may purchase Company Stock (A) in the open
market, (B) in privately negotiated transactions with holders of Company Stock
and/or the Controlling Company, and/or (C) through the exercise of stock rights,
warrants or options. Alternatively, the Trustee may acquire the requisite number
of shares of Company Stock from shares already acquired for other Participants’
Accounts and made available pursuant to the procedure described in subsection
(e)(2)(B) hereof. The Trustee will make all purchases of Company Stock at a
price or prices which, in the judgment of the Trustee, do not exceed the fair
market value of such Company Stock as of the date of the purchase; with respect
to Company Stock purchased on the open market, the total cost to Participants
will include acquisition costs.

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) To the extent that any shares of Company Stock held in the Trust Fund are to
be liquidated for purposes of investing in one or more of the other Investment
Funds, making distributions and/or otherwise, the Trustee, in a manner
consistent with the terms of subsection (e)(1) hereof, will either (A) sell, at
fair market value, the appropriate number of shares of Company Stock to effect
such election, or (B) retain such shares for credit to other Participants’
Accounts; any shares of Company Stock so retained will be deemed to have been
sold at fair market value on the day the election to sell is to be effective as
described in subsection (e)(3) hereof.

(3) If Company Stock is to be purchased or sold, such purchases and sales will
be made as soon as administratively practicable.

(4) During the quarterly blackout period described in the Controlling Company’s
insider trading policy, Participants who are subject to the blackout in
accordance with such policy may not initiate transactions that would violate
such policy.

14. Section 7.4 is amended to read as follows:

7.4 Valuation.

As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee will determine the fair market value of
each of the Investment Funds after first deducting any expenses which have not
been paid by the Participating Companies. All costs and expenses directly
identifiable to one Investment Fund will be allocated to that Investment Fund.

15. Section 10.6(b) is amended to read as follows:

(b) No Designation or Designee Dead or Missing. In the event that:

(1) A Participant dies without designating a Beneficiary;

(2) The Beneficiary designated by a Participant is not surviving when a payment
is to be made to such person under the Plan, and no contingent Beneficiary has
been designated; or

(3) The Beneficiary designated by a Participant cannot be located by the
Administrative Committee within 1 year after the date benefits are to commence
to such person;

then, in any of such events, the Beneficiary of such Participant with respect to
any benefits that remain payable under this Article will be the Participant’s
Surviving Spouse, if any. If such Participant does not have a Surviving Spouse,
the Administrative Committee may in its discretion treat the Participant’s
estate or such heirs and/or relatives of the Participant, as the Administrative
Committee may determine, as the Beneficiary of such Participant, without further
liability with respect to or in the amount of such payment either on the part of
any Participating Company, the Administrative Committee or the Trustee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Section 11.3(a) is amended by inserting the word “and” at the end of
subsection (14) thereto and by adding a new subsection (15) thereto, to read as
follows:

(15) to delegate any recordkeeping or other administerial duties hereunder to
any other person or third-party;

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Administrative Committee has caused its duly authorized
member to execute this Amendment on the date written below.
