<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01 &#151; Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On September&nbsp;30, 2010, EZCORP, Inc. entered into an advisory services agreement with Madison Park,
LLC (&#147;Madison Park&#148;), a business and financial advisory firm wholly-owned by Phillip E. Cohen, the
beneficial owner of all of EZCORP&#146;s outstanding Class&nbsp;B Voting Common Stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Summary of Terms &#151; </I></B>Pursuant to the agreement, Madison Park will provide advisory services related
to EZCORP&#146;s business and long term strategic plan, including (a)&nbsp;identifying, evaluating, and
negotiating potential acquisitions and strategic alliances, (b)&nbsp;assessing operating and strategic
objectives, including new business development, (c)&nbsp;advising on investor relations and relations
with investment bankers, securities analysts, and other members of the financial services industry,
(d)&nbsp;assisting in international business development and strategic investment opportunities, and (e)
analyzing, evaluating, and advising on various financial matters. In exchange for those services,
EZCORP will pay Madison Park a retainer fee of $400,000 per month and will reimburse Madison Park
for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the engagement. In addition, EZCORP
will indemnify Madison Park (and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates) from and
against all claims, costs, liabilities, and damages related to or arising out of the engagement
(except to the extent that any claim, cost, liability, or damage results from the recklessness,
willful misconduct, or bad faith of the indemnified party).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The advisory services agreement is effective as of October&nbsp;1, 2010, and the term of the engagement
runs through September&nbsp;30, 2011. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time on thirty
days&#146; written notice to the other party.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A copy of the agreement is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Board Governance Process &#151; </I></B>The engagement of Madison Park pursuant to the advisory services
agreement was identified and acknowledged by the EZCORP Board of Directors from the outset as a
related party transaction. The Board of Directors has adopted a Policy for Review and Evaluation
of Related Party Transactions, and under that policy, the Audit Committee (comprised entirely of
independent, non-employee directors) is responsible for reviewing, evaluating, approving, or taking
other action with respect to related party transactions on behalf of, and with full power and
authority of, the Board of Directors. Acting pursuant to that policy, the Audit Committee
implemented measures designed to ensure that the advisory services agreement with Madison Park was
considered, analyzed, negotiated, and approved objectively. Those measures included the following:
</DIV>


<DIV style="margin-top: 6pt">
<TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt">

    <TD width="1%" nowrap align="left"><B>&#149;</B></TD>
    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>The Audit Committee engaged a qualified, independent financial advisory firm for the
purpose of evaluating the proposed advisory services agreement relative to comparable market
rates for the services contemplated by the agreement, and that firm counseled and advised the
committee in the course of its consideration and evaluation of the Madison Park relationship
and the proposed terms of the new advisory services agreement.</TD>
</TR>

    <TD width="1%" nowrap align="left"><B>&#149;</B></TD>
    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>The Audit Committee sought, received, and relied upon an opinion from that independent
financial advisory firm to the effect that the consideration to be paid to Madison Park
pursuant to the advisory services agreement is fair to EZCORP from a financial point of view.</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">With those measures, the Audit Committee evaluated and considered a number of factors, including
EZCORP&#146;s need for the services to be provided under the advisory services agreement; the unique
character of EZCORP&#146;s business; the unique capabilities and expertise of Madison Park and its
principal, Mr.&nbsp;Cohen, to provide the needed services; the amount of the proposed annual retainer
fee in relation to comparable related party and other publicly disclosed advisory engagements and
in relation to various financial performance measures; and the extent to which EZCORP has
benefitted in prior years from the advisory relationship with Madison Park.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">After consideration and discussion of those factors, the information and fairness opinion provided
by its independent financial advisory firm, and the relationships and the interests of Mr.&nbsp;Cohen,
the Audit Committee concluded that the advisory services agreement was fair to, and in the best
interests of, EZCORP and its stockholders and, on that basis, approved the engagement of Madison
Park pursuant to the advisory services agreement.

    <TD>If any action or proceeding, including, but not limited to, any governmental
investigation, shall be brought or asserted against an indemnified person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought from EZCORP, such indemnified person shall promptly notify EZCORP in
writing of an indemnified person&#146;s knowledge of such claim, action or proceedings, and EZCORP
shall assume the defense thereof, including, but not limited to, the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person and the payment of all fees and
disbursements of such counsel and all other expenses related to such actions or proceedings.
Such indemnified person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or
proceeding and to participate in defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such separate
counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified person unless (i)&nbsp;EZCORP has agreed to
pay such fees and expenses or (ii)&nbsp;EZCORP shall have failed to timely assume the defense of
such actions or proceedings, to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified

confirm in writing that it is obligated to indemnify such indemnified person against all
claims, costs, expenses, liabilities, losses and damages related to or arising out of such
action or proceeding in accordance with this agreement or (iii)&nbsp;counsel shall determine that
there is or could reasonably be expected to be a conflict of interest by reason of having
common counsel in any action or proceeding, in which case, if such indemnified person
notifies EZCORP in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of
EZCORP, EZCORP shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding,
on behalf of any such indemnified person, it being understood, however, that EZCORP shall
not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially
similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for
such indemnified person, which firm shall be designated in writing by such indemnified
person. EZCORP shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding
effected without EZCORP&#146;s written consent, which should not be unreasonably withheld. If
settled with EZCORP&#146;s prior written consent or if there be a final and nonappealable judgment
for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding, EZCORP agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless such indemnified person from and against any loss or liability to the extent stated
above by reason of such settlement or judgment.</TD>

Lagos began his business career in 1980 as a Management Consultant with McKinsey &#038; Company Inc.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Since his retirement from Pepsi Bottling Group Mexico in December&nbsp;2008, Mr.&nbsp;Lagos has been engaged
as an investor and consultant in various private business ventures and has served as a keynote

and Executive President for the Mexican subsidiary of Areas, a Spanish global organization

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Lagos earned a bachelor&#146;s degree in industrial and systems engineering from Instituto

industrial engineering, operations research and business administration, all from Stanford

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Sterling Brinkley, EZCORP&#146;s Chairman of the Board, stated &#147;We are extremely delighted that Pablo
has joined our Board of Directors. As we continue to expand our presence and operations in Mexico
and other areas outside the United States, it is important that our Board of Directors reflects the
diversity of the communities and customers we serve. Pablo brings to our Board substantial
executive management, organizational leadership, operating and sales experience in Mexico and other
parts of Latin America, areas that we anticipate will continue to provide robust opportunities for
growth. We also expect that Pablo&#146;s unique experience, insight and perspective will greatly
benefit our company as we continue to expand our operational base and work more closely with our
international affiliates.&#148;
