                        SECOND AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED
                          AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

      This SECOND AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT dated
as of September 27, 2005 (this "Amendment"), is among EZCORP, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
Agent for itself and the other Lenders (the "Agent") and as the Issuing Bank,
and the Lenders.

                                    RECITALS:

      A. The Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank have
previously entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
dated as of April 8, 2004 (as the same has been amended, restated or modified
from time to time, the "Agreement").

      B. A new indirect subsidiary of the Borrower, EZMONEY Wisconsin, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("EZMONEY Wisconsin"), was created on September 9, 2005,
and concurrent with the execution of this Amendment, EZMONEY Wisconsin has
executed and delivered documents, agreements and instruments required pursuant
to Section 8.10 of the Agreement in order to be a Guarantor under the Loan
Documents.

      C. The Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower desire to amend Schedule 7.14
to, and several other provisions of, the Agreement in order to (i) reflect the
addition of EZMONEY Wisconsin and (ii) to permit the Borrower to prepay
Eurodollar Advances on days other than the last day of the respective Interest
Periods on the terms and subject to the conditions and to the extent set forth
below.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements,
provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                                   Definitions

      Section 1.1 Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the same meanings as in the Agreement, as amended hereby.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                    Amendment

      Section 2.1 Amendment to Section 4.2. Effective as of the date hereof,
Section 4.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its
entirety as follows:

      Section 4.2 Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrower may, upon at least one
      Business Day prior notice to the Agent in the case of Base Rate Advances
      (except as otherwise provided for under Section 2.7(a) for Swing Loan
      Advances), and at least three Business Days prior notice to the Agent in
      the case of Eurodollar Advances, voluntarily prepay the

<PAGE>

      Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part without premium
      or penalty but with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the
      amount so prepaid, provided that (a) any prepayments of Eurodollar
      Advances, if prepaid on other than the last day of the Interest Period for
      such Advances, shall be accompanied by all additional amounts which may be
      required pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.5 and (b) each partial prepayment
      shall be in the principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of
      $100,000 in excess thereof. All notices under this Section shall be
      irrevocable and shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Austin, Texas
      time) on the day which is not less than the number of Business Days
      specified above for such notice. Any such voluntary prepayments shall be
      applied as the Borrower and the Agent may agree, but in the absence of
      such agreement, first to the Swing Loan Advances, then to Letter of Credit
      Disbursements for which the Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed by the
      Borrower, then to Base Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan, then
      to Eurodollar Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan and then to the
      remaining Letter of Credit Liabilities. Any prepayments hereunder shall be
      accompanied with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the
      date of prepayment.

      Section 2.2 Amendment to Section 5.1(a). Effective as of the date hereof,
Section 5.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its
entirety as follows:

            (a) The Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time
      such amounts as such Lender may determine in good faith to be required to
      compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs, or
      expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or
      nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of
      anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of a liquidation
      or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund
      or maintain any Eurodollar Advances hereunder or its obligation to make
      any of such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable
      by such Lender hereunder in respect of any such Advances or such
      obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable
      being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory
      Change which:

                  (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
            such Lender under this Agreement or its Note (or Notes) in respect
            of any of such Advances (other than taxes imposed on the overall net
            income of such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office for any of
            such Advances by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its
            principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

                  (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum
            capital, capital ratio, or similar requirement relating to any
            extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or
            other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (including any of
            such Advances or any deposits referred to in the definition of
            "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof); or

                  (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or
            the Notes or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or
            commitments.

      Each Lender will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date
      of this Agreement which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant
      to this Section 5.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains
      knowledge thereof and determines to request

<PAGE>

      such compensation, and will designate a different Applicable Lending
      Office for the Advances affected by such event if such designation will
      avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
      not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, violate any law, rule, or
      regulation or be in any way disadvantageous to such Lender, provided that
      such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending
      Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish
      the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and the amount of
      each request of such Lender for compensation under this Section 5.1(a). If
      any Lender requests compensation from the Borrower under this Section
      5.1(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the
      Agent) suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue making,
      or Convert Advances into, Advances of the Type with respect to which such
      compensation is requested until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
      request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section
      5.4 hereof shall be applicable). For purposes of calculating amounts
      payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 5.1 and Section
      5.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Advance
      made by it at the Eurodollar Rate used in determining the Adjusted
      Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Advance by a matching deposit or other
      borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a
      comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Advance was in fact so
      funded.

      Section 2.3 Amendment to Schedule 7.14. Effective as of the date hereof,
      all references to "Schedule 7.14" in the Agreement shall be deemed to mean
      the "Schedule 7.14" attached hereto as Schedule 7.14.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
                          OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
                                  EZCORP, INC.

I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

The Board of Directors ("Board") of EZCORP, Inc. (the "Company") has formed a
special purpose committee known as the Audit Committee (the "Committee"). The
primary purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in
fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing and advising the Board
concerning:

      -     financial reports and other financial information provided by the
            Company to any governmental body or the public;

      -     systems of internal control implemented by the Company; and

      -     the Company's auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes
            generally.

The Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to:

      -     provide independent monitoring of the Company's financial reporting
            and internal controls;

      -     evaluate the audit efforts of the Company's independent accountants
            and internal auditing department; and

      -     encourage open communication between the independent accountants,
            Company management, the internal auditing department, and the Board
            of Directors.

The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the
activities enumerated in Section V of this Charter.

II. COMPOSITION

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more members of the Board, each of
whom is determined by the Board to be "independent" pursuant to:

      -     Section 10A(m)(3) and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange
            Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") (subject to exceptions provided in
            Rule 10A-3(c) of the Exchange Act and the cure period provided in
            Rule 4350(d)(4) of the rules of the NASDAQ stock market (the "NASDAQ
            Rules")); and

      -     Rule 4200(a)(15) (subject to the exception provided in Rule
            4350(d)(2)(B) and the cure period provided in Rule 4350(d)(4)) of
            the NASDAQ Rules.

<PAGE>

No member of the Committee shall have participated in the preparation of the
financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at
any time during the past three years.

All members of the Committee shall have sufficient background and experience to
be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the
Company's balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows.
Additionally, at least one member of the Committee shall have past employment
experience in finance or accounting, a professional certification in accounting
or any other comparable experience or background which results in the
individual's financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief
executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with
financial oversight responsibilities.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board of Directors at the
annual meeting and shall serve until their successors shall be duly elected and
qualified. The Committee shall elect a Chairperson.

III. AUTHORITY

The Committee shall have the authority to retain and consult with special legal,
accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee as circumstances may
dictate. In addition, the Committee shall be directly responsible, in its
capacity as a committee of the Board, for the appointment, compensation,
retention and oversight of the independent accountants. The Committee shall
determine the appropriate funding needed by the Committee and have sole
authority to approve: (i) compensation to the independent audit firm engaged for
the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit,
review, or attest services for the Company; (ii) compensation to any advisers
employed by the Committee; and (iii) ordinary administrative expenses of the
Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

IV. MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet quarterly, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.
As part of its function of fostering open communication, the Committee should
meet regularly with management, the director of the internal audit and the
independent accountants. The Committee will periodically meet separately with
each of these groups to allow for matters which any member of such groups
believes should be discussed privately. Such meetings will include quarterly
consultation with the independent accountants and management to review the
Company's financials consistent with item V.2 below.

            including without limitation a review of the MD&A disclosures made

            Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

            under the securities laws to be provided by the independent

            independent accounting firm reports directly to the Committee.

      8.    Not less than annually, confirm with management and the independent
            accountant that the engagement of the independent accountants to
            provide permissible non-audit services requires pre-approval by the
            Committee (other than with respect to de minimis exceptions
            described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act that are
            approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit).

      9.    Not less than annually, assure receipt from the independent
            accountants of the written disclosure and letter required by ISB
            Standard No. 1 and actively engage in a dialogue with the
            independent accountants regarding any relationships the independent
            accountants have with the Company that might appear to impact the
            independent accountants' objectivity and independence.

      10.   Review and evaluate the lead partner of the independent accountants;
            assure compliance with the audit partner rotation requirements of

      11.   Consider, at least annually, the independence of the independent
            accountants, including whether the independent accountants'
            performance of permissible non-audit services is compatible with the
            accountant's independence; obtain and review the report by the
            independent accountants describing any relationships between the
            independent accountants and the Company that may adversely affect
            the independence of the accountants; discuss with the independent
            accountants any disclosed relationship or services that may impact
            their objectivity and independence; and present to the Board the
            Committee's conclusions with respect to the independence of the
            independent accountants.

      12.   Periodically communicate with the independent accountants, in
            meetings separate from management, concerning their evaluation of
            internal controls, the propriety of the Company's financial
            statements, the quality of the system of internal accounting control

            responsibilities.

            Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during their
            certification process for the Form 10-K and 10-Q about any
            significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
            controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving
            management or other employees who have a significant role in the
            Company's internal controls.

      15.   Consult with the independent accountants and management concerning
            the quality and appropriateness of accounting principles applied in
            financial reporting.

            necessary to the preparation of financial statements with management

      20.   Review with the independent accountants their recommendations
            concerning changes to, or improvements in, internal control and
            financial reporting practices and assess management's responses to
            such recommendations.

      21.   Perform an evaluation of the Committees performance at least
            annually to determine whether it is functioning effectively.

Ethical and Legal Compliance

      22.   Review annually and provide recommendations to the Board of
