 Section 7.6. Discontinuance of Remedies. In case the Security Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the Company, the Security Trustee and
the holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject to the lien and security interest created under this Agreement. 
  
 Section 7.7. Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the
Security Trustee or of the holder of any Note to exercise any right or power arising from any default, shall exhaust or impair any such right or power or prevent its exercise during the continuance of such default. No waiver by the Security Trustee
or the holder of any Note of any such default, whether such waiver be full or partial, shall extend to or be taken to affect any subsequent default, or to impair the rights resulting therefrom except as may be otherwise provided therein. No remedy
hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given hereunder or otherwise existing; nor shall the giving, taking or enforcement of any other or
additional security, collateral or guaranty for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness operate to prejudice, waive or affect the security of this Agreement or any rights, powers or remedies hereunder, nor shall the Security

acceptance thereof agree: 
  
 Section 8.1. Duties of
Security Trustee. (a) The Security Trustee undertakes (i) except while an Event of Default actually known to the Security Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, or in any direction given pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) while an Event of Default actually known to the Security Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, (A) to exercise such of the rights and
powers as are vested in it by this Agreement and subject to §8.1(b), to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as an ordinary prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs
and (B) to conduct any sale or disposition of the Collateral pursuant to §7.2 in a commercially reasonable manner. 
  
 The Security Trustee upon receipt of instruments or notices furnished to the Security Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall furnish
copies of the same to the holders of the Notes. 
  
 (b) In the
event that the Security Trustee shall have actual knowledge of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall give prompt written notice of such Event of Default to each holder of a Note. Subject to the terms of §8.2(h), in accordance
with written instructions received from the holders of at least a majority of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Security Trustee shall take such action or refrain from taking such action as the Security Trustee shall be
directed in writing by such holders. If the Security Trustee shall not have received written instructions as above provided within twenty (20) days after mailing notice of such Event of Default to the holders, the Security Trustee may, subject
to instructions received pursuant to the preceding sentence, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such Event of Default, as it shall determine
advisable in the best interests of the holders of the Notes. 
  
 (c) The Security Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Collateral, or, to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this
Agreement, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (d) Except if it is herein otherwise expressly provided that no such request is required, the Security Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take
any action which is discretionary with the Security Trustee or otherwise requires judgment to be made by the Security Trustee

under the provisions hereof, except on written request by the holders of the Notes or by the requisite portion thereof as expressly provided herein.

  
 Section 8.2. Security Trustee’s Liability. No
provision of this Agreement (except to the extent provided in §8.13 hereof) shall be construed to relieve the Security Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except
that: 
  
 (a) unless an Event of Default actually
known to the Security Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, the Security Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Security Trustee but the duties and obligations of the Security Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; and 
  
 (b) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee may rely upon the
authenticity of, and the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in, and shall be protected in acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be independent of the
Company, any Affiliate thereof and the holders of the Notes), Note, request, notice, consent, waiver, order, signature guaranty, notarial seal, stamp, acknowledgment, verification, appraisal, report, stock certificate, or other paper or document
believed by the Security Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed, affixed or presented by the proper party or parties; and 
  
 (c) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Security Trustee, whenever the Security Trustee, or any of its agents, representatives,
experts or counsel (which counsel shall be independent of the Company, any Affiliate thereof and the holders of the Notes), shall consider it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an officer’s certificate; provided, however, that the Security Trustee, or such agent, representative, expert or counsel, may require
such further and additional evidence and make such further investigation as it or they may consider reasonable; and 
  
 (d) the Security Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel shall be independent of the Company, any Affiliate thereof and the
holders of the Notes) and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel; and

  
 (e) the Security Trustee shall not be liable
with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with any direction or request of the holders of Notes or the requisite portion thereof as expressly provided herein; and 
  

 -26- 









 World Acceptance Corporation Amended and Restated Security Agreement, 

Pledge and Indenture of Trust 
  

 (f) the Security Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by an officer of the Security Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Security Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

thereof or the Security Trustee shall have received written advice thereof from the holder of any Note; and 
  
 (h) whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Security Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take or refrain from
taking any action under this Agreement which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, unless and until it is requested in writing so to do by one or more holders of Notes outstanding hereunder and furnished, from time to time as it may require, with reasonable security and indemnity. 
  
 Section 8.3. No Responsibility of Security Trustee for Recitals.
The recitals and statements contained herein and in the Notes shall be taken as the recitals and statements of the Company, and the Security Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same, nor shall the Security Trustee have any
responsibility for or any liability with respect to any disclosure, warranty, representation or concealment or failure to disclose in connection with the offering, solicitation, sale or distribution of the Notes by the Company or by any other
Person. 
  
 The Security Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, or of the Notes secured hereby, the security hereby or thereby afforded, the title of the Company to or the existence of the Collateral or the descriptions thereof, or the filing or recording or registering
of this Agreement or any other document. 
  
 The Security Trustee
shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited moneys which shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of any property or Securities or the proceeds
thereof which shall be released from the lien and security interest hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.4. Certain Limitations on Security Trustee’s Rights to Compensation and Indemnification. Except to the extent otherwise
expressly provided herein the Security Trustee shall have no right against the holder of any Note for the payment of compensation for its services hereunder or any expenses or disbursements incurred in connection with the exercise and performance of
its powers and duties hereunder or any indemnification against liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and performance of such powers and duties but on the contrary, shall look solely to the Company for such payment and indemnification which
the Company hereby agrees to make, and the Security Trustee shall have no lien on or security

interest in the Collateral as security for such compensation, expenses, disbursements and indemnification except to the extent provided for in

 Section 8.5. Status of Moneys
Received. (a) All moneys received by the Security Trustee shall, together with any interest thereon, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but (except as herein otherwise
provided with respect to the funds referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section) need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys, except to the extent required by law, and may be deposited by the Security Trustee under such general
conditions as may be prescribed by law in the Security Trustee’s general banking department, and the Security Trustee shall be under no liability for interest (other than any interest accrued pursuant to clause (b) of this
§8.5) on any moneys received by it hereunder.

provide for the payment of principal and interest, maturing not more than 90 days from the date of such investment. 
  
 Section 8.6. Resignation of Security Trustee. The Security Trustee may resign without cause and be discharged from the trusts created hereby
by delivering notice thereof, by registered or certified mail postage prepaid to the Company and all holders of the Notes at the time outstanding. Such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of a successor Security Trustee as
provided in §§8.8 and 8.9. 
  
 Section 8.7. Removal of Security Trustee. The Security Trustee may be removed at any time, for or without cause, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed by the holders of a majority of the Aggregate Principal Amount
of the Outstanding Notes and delivered to the Security Trustee with a copy to the Company, specifying the removal and the date when it shall take effect provided, however, that no such removal shall be effective hereunder unless and until a
successor security trustee shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment as provided in §§8.8 and 8.9. 
  
 Section 8.8. Appointment of Successor Security Trustee. In case at any time the Security Trustee shall resign or be removed or become

Security Trustee shall be so appointed by the Noteholders, the Company shall appoint a successor Security Trustee to fill such vacancy, by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and delivered to the successor Security Trustee. If all or
substantially all of the Collateral shall be in the possession of one or more receivers, trustees, liquidators or assignees for the benefit of creditors, then such receivers, trustees, custodians, liquidators or assignees may, by an instrument in
writing delivered to the successor Security Trustee, appoint a successor Security Trustee. Promptly after any such appointment, the Company, or any such

Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes. 
  
 If a successor
Security Trustee shall not be appointed pursuant to this Section within thirty days after notice of the resignation or removal of the retiring Security Trustee, the holder of any Note or such retiring Security Trustee (unless the retiring Security
Trustee is being removed) may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Security Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may consider proper, appoint a successor Security Trustee. 

 
 Section 8.9. Succession of Successor Security Trustee. Any
successor Security Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the predecessor Security Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Security Trustee, without any further
act, deed, conveyance or transfer, shall become vested with the title to the Collateral, and with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the predecessor Security Trustee in the trust hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Security Trustee herein. 
  
 Upon the request of any such
successor Security Trustee, however, the Company and the predecessor Security Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly

prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall

holder at its address set forth in the Note Register in the case of any holder of the Senior Secured Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes and at its address set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement in the case of any holder of the Revolving
Credit Notes. 
  
 Section 10.4. Release. The Security

conditions set forth above have not been satisfied, in which case no such release shall be issued), release the Lien of this Agreement on such assets by proper instrument or instruments. If any such sale or other disposition of assets constituting
less than a “substantial part” of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this §10.4(b) results in the sale or other disposition of the capital stock or other equity interest in a Restricted
Subsidiary, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements with respect to, and only with respect to, such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be released and the Security Trustee and the Noteholders agree to execute and deliver such further instruments

Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 5.13 of the Senior Note Agreements, Section 5.13 of the Senior Subordinated Note Agreement and Section 8.13 of the Revolving Credit Agreement) after the occurrence and during the continuance of
a Material Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall, upon the written direction of the Company and the written consent of (x) the holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes, computed solely by reference
to the Senior Secured Notes, and (y) the holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes, computed solely by reference to the Revolving Credit Notes, and without the further consent of the holders of the Senior
Subordinated Notes, release the Lien of this Agreement on such assets by proper instrument or instruments, provided, that, (i) such sale or other disposition is not to an Affiliate, (ii) the sale price for such assets is determined
by the Company in good faith to be reasonable, as evidenced by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company, (iii) the proceeds of any such sale or other disposition are applied to the satisfaction of Secured Indebtedness and, if such
application results in the prepayment of any obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, such application permanently reduces the amount of the commitment under the Revolving Credit Agreement, (iv) each Noteholder shall have received
written notice of such sale or other disposition at least ten days prior to the date of such sale or other disposition and (v) the Security Trustee and the Noteholders receive a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
certifying to each of the foregoing. If any such sale or other disposition of assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this §10.4(c) results in the sale or other disposition of the capital stock or other equity
interest in a Restricted Subsidiary, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements with respect to, and only with respect to, such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be released and the Security Trustee and the Noteholders agree to execute and deliver
such further instruments and do such further acts as the Company may deem necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the foregoing;

 FIRST
AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 SECURITY
AGREEMENT, PLEDGE AND INDENTURE OF TRUST 
  
 Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Pledge and Indenture of Trust dated as of June 30, 1997 (as the
same may be amended, the “Company Security Agreement”), from World Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Security Trustee. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning set forth in the Company Security Agreement. 
  
 Subsequent to the Company’s delivery of the Company Security Agreement, certain shares of stock have been added as Pledged Collateral under the Company Security Agreement. As a result of such addition, Schedule I of the Company
Security Agreement does not accurately describe the shares of capital stock currently held by, or to be held by, the Security Trustee as Collateral under the Company Security Agreement. 
  
 Pursuant to the requirements of Section 3.9 of the Company Security Agreement, the Company now desires to amend
Schedule I to the Company Security Agreement to reflect such additions, and this instrument shall constitute an agreement between the Company and the Security Trustee amending the Company Security Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects,
hereinafter set forth: 
  
 1. Schedule I of the
Company Security Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and as so amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as Schedule I attached hereto. 
  
 2. As collateral security for the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Company set forth in Section 2 of the Company
Security Agreement, the Company hereby grants and reaffirms to the Security Trustee a continuing lien on and security interest in, and acknowledges and agrees that the Security Trustee has and shall continue to have a continuing lien on and security
interest in, all the shares of capital stock of each issuer listed and described on Schedule I attached hereto and all the other properties, rights, interests and privileges comprising the Pledged Collateral (as such term is defined in the
Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment), to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if the shares of stock described on Schedule I had originally been included on Schedule I to the Company Security
Agreement. The foregoing granting clause is in addition to and supplemental of and not in substitution for the granting clause contained in the Company Security Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Security Trustee intends by this Amendment to in
any way impair or otherwise affect the lien of the Company Security Agreement on such of the Collateral which was subject to the Company Security Agreement prior to giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 3. The Company hereby repeats and reaffirms all of its
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Company Security Agreement, each and all of which shall be applicable to all of the properties, rights, 










 
interests and privileges subject to the lien of the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. The Company hereby certifies that no
Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default exists under the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 4. No reference to this Amendment need be made in any note,
instrument or other document at any time referring to the Company Security Agreement, any reference in any of such to the Company Security Agreement to be deemed to reference to the Company Security Agreement as modified hereby. 
  
 5. Except as specifically modified hereby, all the terms and
conditions of the Company Security Agreement shall stand and remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

have the meaning set forth in the Company Security Agreement. 
  
 The Company and the Security Trustee, acting at the direction of the Noteholders, have agreed to amend the definition of “Receivables” as set forth in the Company Security Agreement to reflect changes in Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, and this instrument shall constitute an agreement between the Company and the Security Trustee amending the Company Security Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects, hereinafter set forth: 
  
 1. The definition of “Receivables” appearing in

 2. As collateral security for the indebtedness, obligations,
and liabilities of the Company set forth in Section 2 of the Company Security Agreement, the Company hereby grants and reaffirms to the Security Trustee a continuing lien on and security interest in, and acknowledges and agrees that the
Security Trustee has and shall continue to have a continuing lien on and security interest in, all of the Collateral described therein, including all Receivables as defined above whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired. Neither the
Company nor the Security Trustee intends by this Amendment to in any way impair or otherwise affect the lien of the Company Security Agreement on such of the Collateral which was subject to the Company Security Agreement prior to giving effect to
this Amendment. 
  
 3. The Company hereby repeats
and reaffirms all of its covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Company Security Agreement, each and all of which shall be applicable to all of the properties, rights, interests and privileges subject to the lien of
the Company Security Agreement after 










 
giving effect to this Amendment. The Company hereby certifies that no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute
an Event of Default exists under the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 4. No reference to this Amendment need be made in any note, instrument or other document at any time referring to the Company Security
Agreement, any reference in any of such to the Company Security Agreement to be deemed to reference to the Company Security Agreement as modified hereby. 
  
 5. Except as specifically modified hereby, all the terms and conditions of the Company Security Agreement shall stand and remain unchanged
and in full force and effect.

 Subsequent to the Company’s delivery of the Company Security Agreement, the Company and the Security Trustee have agreed to add Deposit Accounts (as defined below), whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or

 SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS. 
  
 Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 2 below, the Company Security Agreement shall be and is hereby amended as follows: 
  
 1.1. Section 2.9 of the Company Security Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Security Trustee of any other Concentration Account opened or maintained by the Company after the date hereof, and shall submit to the Security Trustee a supplement to Schedule IV to reflect such additional accounts (provided the Company’s
failure to do so shall not impair the Security Trustee’s security interest therein). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Security Trustee’s security interest in the Local Accounts need not be perfected. With

 FOURTH
AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 SECURITY
AGREEMENT, PLEDGE AND INDENTURE OF TRUST 
  
 Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Pledge and Indenture of Trust dated as of June 30, 1997 (as the
same may be amended, the “Company Security Agreement”), from World Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Security Trustee. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning set forth in the Company Security Agreement. 
  
 Subsequent to the Company’s delivery of the Company Security Agreement, (a) certain shares of stock have been added as Pledged Collateral under the Company Security Agreement and, as a result of such addition, Schedule I of the
Company Security Agreement does not accurately describe the shares of capital stock currently held by, or to be held by, the Security Trustee as Collateral under the Company Security Agreement and (b) the Senior Secured Notes and the Senior
Subordinated Notes have been paid in full. The Company and the Security Trustee now desire to amend the Company Security Agreement to reflect such changes and to make certain other amendment to the Company Security Agreement as provided for herein.

  
 SECTION 1.
AMENDMENTS. 
  
 Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the Company Security Agreement shall be and is hereby amended as follows: 
  
 1.1. Schedule I of the Company Security Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and as so amended shall be restated in its entirety to
read as Schedule I attached hereto. As collateral security for the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Company set forth in Section 2 of the Company Security Agreement, the Company hereby grants and reaffirms to the Security
Trustee a continuing lien on and security interest in, and acknowledges and agrees that the Security Trustee has and shall continue to have a continuing lien on and security interest in, all the shares of capital stock of each issuer listed and
described on Schedule I attached hereto and all the other properties, rights, interests and privileges comprising the Pledged Collateral (as such term is defined in the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment), to the
same extent and with the same force and effect as if the shares of stock described on Schedule I had originally been included on Schedule I to the Company Security Agreement. The foregoing granting clause is in addition to and supplemental
of and not in substitution for the granting clause contained in the Company Security Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Security Trustee intends by this Amendment to in any way impair or otherwise affect the lien of the Company Security
Agreement on such of the Collateral which was subject to the Company Security Agreement prior to giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 1.2. On or about June 30, 2004, the Senior Subordinated Notes were paid in full and are no longer outstanding. On or about
December 31, 1999, the Senior Secured Notes were paid in full and are no longer outstanding. Accordingly, any and all 










 
references in the Company Security Agreement to the terms “Senior Note Agreements,” “Senior Secured Notes,” “Senior Subordinated
Notes,” and “Senior Subordinated Note Agreement” shall be deleted. 
  
 1.3. Recital C to the Company Security Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
  
 C. The Company has authorized borrowings pursuant to the
Revolving Credit Agreement, whether or not such borrowings are evidenced by promissory notes and as the same may from time to time be amended or restated pursuant to the terms thereof and any notes executed in replacement thereof (the
“Revolving Credit Notes”). 
  
 In addition, all
references to the terms “Senior Notes” and “Notes” in the Company Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof be deemed a reference to the Revolving Credit Notes. 
  
 1.4. The definitions of “Aggregate Principal Amount of
the Outstanding Notes,” “Consolidated Adjusted Net Worth,” “Make-Whole Amount,” “Material Event of Default,” “Maximum Principal Amount,” appearing in Section 1.1 of the Company Security Agreement
shall be deleted. 
  
 1.5. All references to the
phase “holders of a majority of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes” or words of like import in the Company Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof be deemed a reference to the Required Banks as
hereinafter defined. 
  
 1.6. The definitions of
“Indebtedness for Borrowed Money,” “Secured Indebtedness,” and “Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements” appearing in Section 1.1 of the Company Security Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as
follows: 
  
 “Indebtedness for Borrowed Money”
shall have the same meaning herein as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. 
  
 “Secured Indebtedness” shall mean the “Obligations,” as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, due or to become due,
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired. 
  
 “Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement” shall mean the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated as of June 30, 1997 of each Restricted Subsidiary existing on such date and each other Restricted

 -2- 








 
in the form of Exhibit A thereto pursuant to the terms thereof and §3.9 (or in such other form agreed to by the Agent), in each case, for the
benefit of the Security Trustee and the holders of the Senior Notes, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, modified, supplemented or waived pursuant to the terms thereof. 
  
 1.7. Section 1.1 of the Company Security Agreement
shall be amended by adding in appropriate alphabetical order the following definition: 
  
 “Required Banks” shall have the same meaning herein as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. 
  

1.8. Section 9.2 of the Company Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows: 
  
 Section 9.2. Waivers and Consents by Noteholders;
Supplemental Security Agreements with Noteholders’ Consent. (a) Upon the waiver or consent of the Agent (acting at the direction or with the consent of the Required Banks under the Revolving Credit Agreement), the Company and the
Security Trustee may enter into an agreement or agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of waiving, adding, changing or eliminating any provisions of this Agreement or of any agreement supplemental hereto or modifying in any manner the rights
and obligations of the holders of the Notes and the Company. 
  
 1.9. Section 10.4 of the Company Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows: 
  
 Section 10.4. Release. The Security Trustee shall release fully or partially, as the case may be, the Lien granted by this
Agreement under and only under the following circumstances: 
  
 (a) Upon the presentation of satisfactory evidence that all Secured Indebtedness has been irrevocably fully paid or discharged and all obligations of the holders of Notes to extend Secured Indebtedness to the Company
have terminated or otherwise expired, the Security Trustee shall release the Lien and security interest of this Agreement by proper instrument or instruments; 
  

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, upon the sale or other disposition of any assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries which the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifies to the Security Trustee and the Noteholders in writing does not constitute a “substantial part” of 

  

 -3- 








 
the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 8.13 of the Revolving Credit Agreement), the Security Trustee shall,
upon the written direction of the Company and without the consent of the Noteholders (unless the Security Trustee has been notified in writing by a Noteholder prior to such release that such Noteholder in good faith believes that the conditions set
forth above have not been satisfied, in which case no such release shall be issued), release the Lien of this Agreement on such assets by proper instrument or instruments. If any such sale or other disposition of assets constituting less than a
“substantial part” of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this §10.4(b) results in the sale or other disposition of the capital stock or other equity interest in a Restricted Subsidiary, the
Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement with respect to, and only with respect to, such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be released and the Security Trustee and the Noteholders agree to execute and deliver such further instruments and do such
further acts as the Company may deem necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the foregoing; 
  
 (c) Upon the sale or other disposition by the Company of a “substantial part” of the assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 8.13 of the Revolving Credit Agreement) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall, upon the written direction of the Company and the written consent of
the Required Banks, release the Lien of this Agreement on such assets by proper instrument or instruments, provided, that, (i) such sale or other disposition is not to an Affiliate, (ii) the sale price for such assets is determined
by the Company in good faith to be reasonable, as evidenced by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company, (iii) the proceeds of any such sale or other disposition are applied to the satisfaction of Secured Indebtedness and, if such
application results in the prepayment of any obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, such application permanently reduces the amount of the commitment under the Revolving Credit Agreement (unless the Required Banks agree otherwise),
(iv) each Noteholder shall have received written notice of such sale or other disposition at least ten days prior to the date of such sale or other disposition and (v) the Security Trustee and the Noteholders receive a certificate of the
Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying to each of the foregoing. If any such sale or other disposition of assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this §10.4(c) results in the sale or other disposition
of the capital stock or other equity interest in a Restricted Subsidiary, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement with 

  

 -4- 








 
respect to, and only with respect to, such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be released and the Security Trustee and the Noteholders agree to
execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as the Company may deem necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the foregoing; 
  

(d) Upon the sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to and in accordance with §7.2 and
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, the Security Trustee shall release the Lien of this Agreement on the Collateral or such part, as the case may be, by proper instrument or instruments; and 
  
 (e) With the prior written consent of each Noteholder, the
Security Trustee shall release the Lien of this Agreement or on any assets covered by this Agreement by proper instrument or instruments. 
  
 1.10. Section 10.9 of the Company Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows: 
  
 Section 10.9. Intentionally Deleted.

defined prior to giving effect to this Amendment) have been paid in full and the Senior Note Agreements and Senior Subordinate Note Agreement have terminated in accordance with their terms. The Company hereby repeats and reaffirms all of its
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Company Security Agreement, each and all of which shall be applicable to all of the properties, rights, interests and privileges subject to the lien of the Company Security
Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. The Company hereby certifies that no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default exists under the Company Security Agreement after
giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS. 
  
 3.1. No reference to this Amendment need be made in any note, instrument or other document at any time referring to the Company Security Agreement, any reference in any of such to the Company Security Agreement to be
deemed to reference to the Company Security Agreement as modified hereby.

 FIFTH
AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 SECURITY
AGREEMENT, PLEDGE AND INDENTURE OF TRUST 
  
 Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Pledge and Indenture of Trust dated as of June 30, 1997 (as the
same may be amended, the “Company Security Agreement”), from World Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) to Harris N.A., as successor by merger to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Security Trustee.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Company Security Agreement. 
  
 Subsequent to the Company’s delivery of the Company Security Agreement, certain shares of stock have been added as Pledged Collateral under the
Company Security Agreement and, as a result of such addition, Schedule I of the Company Security Agreement does not accurately describe the shares of capital stock currently held by, or to be held by, the Security Trustee as Collateral under
the Company Security Agreement. In addition, the Company and the holders of the Senior Notes have concurrently herewith entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, which continues to be secured by, among other things, the
Collateral. The Company and the Security Trustee now desire to amend the Company Security Agreement to reflect such changes and to make certain other amendment to the Company Security Agreement as provided for herein. 
  
 SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS.

  
 Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 2 below, the Company Security Agreement shall be and is hereby amended as follows: 
  
 1.1. Schedule I of the Company Security Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and as so amended shall be restated in its entirety to read as
Schedule I attached hereto. As collateral security for the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Company set forth in Section 2 of the Company Security Agreement, the Company hereby grants and reaffirms to the Security Trustee
a continuing lien on and security interest in, and acknowledges and agrees that the Security Trustee has and shall continue to have a continuing lien on and security interest in, all the shares of capital stock of each issuer listed and described on
Schedule I attached hereto and all the other properties, rights, interests and privileges comprising the Pledged Collateral (as such term is defined in the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment), to the same extent
and with the same force and effect as if the shares of stock described on Schedule I had originally been included on Schedule I to the Company Security Agreement. The foregoing granting clause is in addition to and supplemental of and not
in substitution for the granting clause contained in the Company Security Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Security Trustee intends by this Amendment to in any way impair or otherwise affect the lien of the Company Security Agreement on such
of the Collateral which was subject to the Company Security Agreement prior to giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 1.2. All references to the term “Revolving Credit Agreement” in the Company Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof be
deemed a reference to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 20, 2005, by and among the Company, the 










 
financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as Banks, and Harris N.A., as Agent, as the same may from time to time hereafter be further
amended or modified, including further amendments and restatements of the same in its entirety; and all references to the terms “Senior Notes” and “Notes” in the Company Security Agreement shall from and after the
date hereof be deemed a reference to the promissory notes issued from time to time pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, including any and all promissory notes executed in substitution or replacement therefor or an extension or renewal
thereof, in each case as the same may be amended or modified from time to time. 
  
 1.3. Section 2 of the Company Security Agreement shall be amended by striking the period appearing after Section 2.10 and inserting in its place a semicolon followed by the following phrase: 
  
 provided that, in the case of a lien and security interest on the
voting stock or other similar voting equity interests of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other organization which is a “controlled foreign corporation” as defined under Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code
(herein, a “Foreign Company”), if granting a security interest of more than 65% of the total combined voting stock or other voting equity interests of any such Foreign Company would cause adverse tax consequences to the Company,
then such lien and security interest on the voting stock or other voting equity interests shall be limited to 65% of the total combined voting stock or other voting equity interests of such Foreign Company. 
  
 SECTION 2.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. 
  
 The Company hereby repeats and reaffirms all of its covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Company Security Agreement,
each and all of which shall be applicable to all of the properties, rights, interests and privileges subject to the lien of the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. The Company hereby certifies that no Event of Default
or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default exists under the Company Security Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. 
  
 SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS. 
  
 3.1. No reference to this Amendment need be made in any note, instrument or
other document at any time referring to the Company Security Agreement, any reference in any of such to the Company Security Agreement to be deemed to reference to the Company Security Agreement as modified hereby. 
  
 3.2. Except as specifically modified hereby, all the terms and conditions of
the Company Security Agreement shall stand and remain unchanged and in full force and effect. 
  

 -2- 








 3.3. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on
different counterpart pages, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed
to be an original. This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina.
