Mr. Randy Underwood
9 Douglas Avenue
Wichita, Kansas 67207

Dear Randy:

We are pleased to confirm our offer to you for the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Dollar Financial Corp. ("Dollar"). Should you accept our offer, your compensation and benefits package shall be as follows:

START DATE    To Be Determined

COMPENSATION    $275,000 annual base salary. Base salary will be reviewed annually.

BONUS    As additional compensation for your services, Dollar shall pay or cause one of its subsidiaries to pay a cash bonus with respect to each fiscal year payable within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the financial audit of the relevant fiscal year.

The actual bonus due shall be determined based on the achievement by Dollar of target annual income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and management fees ("EBITDA") as determined by the aforesaid independent audit. EBITDA targets shall be determined by the board of directors of Dollar, in good faith, and shall be adjusted equitably for acquisitions, divestitures or other significant events occurring in the fiscal year.

The amount of the bonus due shall be a percentage of your base salary, with the percentage determined as follows: (a) if Dollar achieves EBITDA of greater than or equal to 95% of target EBITDA, 20% of base salary plus 4% of base salary for each 1% that EBITDA exceeds 95% of target EBITDA, up to a maximum of 20% of base salary (bringing the total cash bonus payable under section (a) to a total of 40% of base salary if Dollar achieves 100% of target EBITDA); plus (b) if Dollar achieves EBITDA of greater than or equal to 101% of target EBITDA, 2% of base salary for each 1% that EBITDA exceeds 100% of target EBITDA, up to a maximum of 10% of base salary. Thus, by way of example, if Dollar achieves EBITDA of 105% of target, Executive's bonus will be 20% + 20% +10% = 50% of base salary. Should your employment terminate for any reason, no bonus compensation for the year in which termination or resignation occurs shall be payable.

Regardless of whether an EBITDA target is achieved, no bonus compensation will be paid or payable if Dollar has defaulted or is not current on its debt payment obligations under any of its then outstanding credit facilities, indentures or other debt instruments; provided, that such withheld compensation shall be paid if such default is of a technical and non-substantive nature and is cured within thirty (30) days of notice thereof.

AUTO ALLOWANCE    Dollar agrees to a monthly car allowance of $1,000.

RELOCATION ALLOWANCE    Dollar agrees to reimburse moving-related expenses per the attached relocation policy.

EQUITY INCENTIVE    You will be granted options of Dollar Financial Corp. common stock at the then current market price, a total equivalent of two times your first year's annual base salary. These options will vest ratably over a 5 year period.

        ii)    either DFG or Dollar becomes a subsidiary of an entity unaffiliated with GEI II or shall be merged or consolidated into another entity and the voting power of the surviving entity is owned at least 51% by a person or entity other than GEI II; or

        iii)   all or substantially all of the assets of either DFG or Dollar shall have been sold to a party or parties the equity of which is owned at least 51% by a person or entity other than GEI II.

b)    Termination other than for cause: In the event that your employment is terminated by Dollar, other than for Cause (as defined herein), you shall be paid your Base Salary in equal installments in accordance with past payroll practices of Dollar for six months following the date of your termination, at a rate equal to 100% of your Base Salary in effect on the last day of your employment with Dollar. In addition, you shall be paid your Base Salary in equal installments in accordance with past payroll practices of Dollar for twelve months following the date which is six months from your termination date at a rate equal to 50% of your Base Salary in effect on the last day of your employment with Dollar.

For purposes of this Agreement, cause shall be defined as
