Prior to the IPO Effective Date, CAI in its discretion may choose to accelerate the vesting and payment, in whole or in part, of any CAI LTIP awards held by an Enova Employee to the extent consistent with the terms of an award or as permitted by the terms of the applicable CAI LTIP, and in accordance with any applicable participant consent requirements of the award or the CAI LTIP, CAI may cancel the unvested portion of any award that is not accelerated.
C. Assumption of Awards. To the extent that any CAI LTIP award (other than any Restricted Stock Unit award) or any STI award held by an Enova Employee (other than a Dual Coverage Period Employee) is not cancelled prior to, or as of, the IPO Effective Date, all liabilities and rights under such award will be assumed by Enova as of the IPO Effective Date. Any determination required to be made by the CAI Compensation Committee under such award will, if made on or after the IPO Effective Date, be made by the Enova Compensation Committee.
D. Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit award granted under a CAI LTIP and held by a Coverage Period Employee (other than a Dual Coverage Period Employee) that remains outstanding on the IPO Effective Date will continue to be administered under the applicable CAI LTIP after the IPO Effective Date.
E. Performance Unit Awards.
(1) Performance Unit Awards Granted Under the Cash America International, Inc. First Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended. The agreements for the Performance Unit Awards that were granted on February 28, 2011 and January 25, 2012 and otherwise would be outstanding and held by Enova Employees as of the IPO Effective Date will be amended to provide that the portion of such outstanding Performance Unit Awards that are scheduled to vest on January 1, 2013 under the Performance Unit Award agreements will instead vest on the day before the IPO Effective Date and the remaining portion of such Performance Units will be cancelled. The value of the vested portion of such Performance Unit Awards will be based on a percentage of

Enova’s year-to-date incremental 2012 EBITDA growth compared to the same period year-to-date 2011 EBITDA. Final award payments will be subject to achievement of certain thresholds and the approval of the CAI Compensation Committee. The amendment to each such award agreement will be effective only if the applicable Enova Employee consents to the amendment and waives the right to receive any future payment under the award agreement.
(2) Unit Awards Granted Under the Cash America International, Inc. 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan for Cash America Net Holdings, LLC. Outstanding Performance Unit awards granted under the Cash America International, Inc. 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan for Cash America Net Holdings, LLC will become fully vested on the IPO Effective Date provided that the Enova Employees holding such outstanding awards consent and waive the right to receive any future payment under such Performance Unit awards. The value of such vested performance units will be determined per the original Cash America International, Inc. 2008 Long Term Incentive plan for Cash America Net Holdings, LLC, subject to the discretion and approval of the CAI Compensation Committee.
(3) Unit Awards Granted Under the Cash America International, Inc. 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan for Primary Innovations, LLC. No amendments will be made to the Cash America International, Inc. 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan for Primary Innovations, LLC as a result of the IPO. Any outstanding unvested Performance Unit awards granted under the Cash America International, Inc. 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan for Primary Innovations, LLC, will be cancelled, effective on the date, if any, on which CAI ceases to own a majority of the outstanding Enova Common Stock.
F. Grants Made on or After the IPO Effective Date. Except as expressly provided above, all grants of long-term incentive or short-term incentive awards made to Enova Employees on or after the IPO Effective Date will be made under the long-term or short-term incentive plans established by Enova.

B. Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local, or foreign law shall be deemed also to refer to such law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Any reference to any contract or agreement (including schedules, exhibits and other attachments thereto), including this Agreement, shall be deemed also to refer to such contract or agreement as amended, restated, or otherwise modified, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders shall be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. Where this Agreement states that a party “will” or “shall” perform in some manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means that such party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement.

G. Assignment. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives and successors, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. There are no third party beneficiaries having rights under or with respect to this Agreement. No party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment will be void; provided, however, that any party may assign this Agreement to a successor entity in conjunction with such party’s reincorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party (or its successive assignees or transferees hereunder) may, without such consent, assign or transfer this Agreement to a Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of its business or assets of such party as long as such Person agrees to accept all of the terms set forth herein.
H. Survivability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible and in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest possible extent.
