the Company would be required to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.10 of the Original Indenture. For purposes of Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture, the reincorporation of the Company shall be treated as the adoption of a
successor entity, provided, however, that redemption under Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture shall not be available if the reincorporation was performed in anticipation of a change in, execution of or amendment to any laws or treaties or
the official application or interpretation of any laws or treaties of such new jurisdiction of incorporation that would result in an obligation to pay Additional Amounts. 
 (m) Conversion: The Notes will not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any other securities. 
 (n) Determination of Notes Outstanding. For the purposes of the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.01 of the Original Indenture only, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the

holders of the Notes will be delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with their applicable policies as in effect from time to time. In addition, if and for so long as the Notes are listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and the rules of the stock exchange so require, the Company shall publish notices with respect to the Notes on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Such notices

under the Indenture any loss or damage incurred by any of them arising by reason of any variation between the rates of exchange used for the purposes of calculating the amount due under a judgment or order in respect thereof and those prevailing at
the date of actual payment by the Company; and 
 (ii) any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in
rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the local currency equivalent of the amounts due or contingently due under the Indenture or in respect of the Notes is calculated for the purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation
of the Company, and (ii) the final date for ascertaining the amount of claims in such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation. The amount of such deficiency shall be deemed not to be increased or reduced by any variation in rates of exchange
occurring between the said final date and the date of any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation or any distribution of assets in connection therewith. 
 (b) The Company agrees that, if a judgment or order given or made by any court for the payment of any amount in respect of its obligations hereunder is expressed in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than pounds sterling (the “Denomination Currency”), it will indemnify the relevant Holder and the Trustee against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between the date
at which the amount in the Denomination Currency is notionally converted into the amount in the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof. 

  
 13

limitations of interests, benefits, obligations and duties thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. All capitalized terms used in this Note which

société anonyme (“Clearstream”), and as the Holder of record of this Note, the principal amount specified above in pounds sterling on December 14, 2026 (or earlier as provided for in the Indenture) upon
presentation and surrender hereof, at the office or agency of the Trustee referred to below. 
 As provided for in the
Indenture, the Issuer promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof, from the Closing Date, annually on December 14 of each year, (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 14,

the date on which it falls due, divided by the actual number of calendar days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls (including the first such calendar day but excluding the last). 

The Notes are subject to redemption by the Issuer on the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture. 

This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture, and reference is made to the Indenture for information with respect to the
respective rights, limitations of interests, benefits, obligations and duties thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders.

Indenture. 
 Modifications of the Indenture may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee only to the extent and in the
circumstances permitted by the Indenture. 
 The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons. Notes

 Exhibit B 

[Form of Guaranty]QC Holdings, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan for Covered Officers

 Exhibit 10.1 
 QC Holdings Inc. 
 Annual Incentive Plan 

Adopted December 6, 2011 
 The QC Holdings, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan structure for the covered officers listed below (the “Covered Officers”) of the Company is adopted for calendar year 2012 and
thereafter, subject to review and revision by the Compensation Committee from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 1. An annual incentive pool (the “Annual Incentive Pool”) for the Covered Officers will be established each year in an amount equal to the Distribution Percentage specified by the
Compensation Committee at the time of establishment of the terms of each Annual Incentive Plan times the actual EBITDA of the Company for the year. The Compensation Committee will set the Distribution Percentage for each level of EBITDA of the
Company and the ranges of those EBITDA levels for the year at the time the Compensation Committee establishes the Annual Incentive Plan for that year. 
 2. The Covered Officers who will share in the Annual Incentive Pool and the percentages (the “Sharing Percentages”) in which those Covered Officers will share in the Annual
Incentive Pool will be set by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with the establishment of the terms of each Annual Incentive Plan. 
 3. 90% of the Annual Incentive Pool will be distributed to the Covered Officers in the Sharing Percentages established by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with the adoption of each Annual
Incentive Plan. 
 4. Up to 10% of the Annual Incentive Pool will be distributed by the Compensation Committee to any or all of
the Covered Officers in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, based on the performance of the Company and the Covered Officers for the year, such determination to be made by the Compensation Committee after the close of each year of the
Company at the Committee’s annual review of Company financial performance and executive compensation for that year. 
 5.
For purposes of the Annual Incentive Plan, “EBITDA” means the earnings of the Company from continuing operations for the calendar year, plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus equity-based compensation expense,
plus or minus, as applicable, other unusual expenses or revenues for the calendar year as may be approved by the Compensation Committee at the time of confirmation of the Annual Incentive Pool for each calendar year. In conjunction with each Annual
Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may make such adjustments to the definition of EBITDA as it sees fit for that year. 

6. The Compensation Committee retains the authority to interpret the terms of each Annual Incentive Plan, to amend, modify or suspend the
Annual Incentive Plan at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pay discretionary bonuses to any executive officer of the Corporation in addition to or in lieu of any payment under any Annual Incentive Plan and to modify, amend or adjust
the Covered Officers, the Distribution Percentages, the EBITDA levels corresponding to each Distribution Percentage, the Sharing Percentages and the definition of EBITDA under an Annual Incentive Plan to adjust for any events or circumstances that
were not foreseen as of the date of each Annual Incentive Plan award.
