Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 17, 2010, Dollar Financial Corp. (together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Dollar Financial Group, Inc., the "Company") entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Randy Underwood, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Underwood will continue to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the "Underwood Agreement"). The Underwood Agreement will replace the employment agreement, as amended, between the Company and Mr. Underwood that had been in effect (the "Prior Agreement").

The Underwood Agreement provides for the following amendments to the Prior Agreement: Mr. Underwood will receive an annual base salary of $505,000 and an annual target bonus opportunity based on the achievement of overall corporate performance objectives, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, equal to 90% of his base salary (with the ability to receive a maximum bonus of 180% of his base salary). The Underwood Agreement provides that any award under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") will be paid 20% in non-qualified stock options, 40% in restricted stock units, and 40% in cash. In recognition of Mr. Underwood’s prior and future service to the Company, Mr. Underwood will be entitled to receive an incremental retention bonus (referred to in the Underwood Agreement as the "Incremental Retention Bonus") upon certain qualifying terminations of Mr. Underwood’s employment. The Incremental Retention Bonus is in addition to the separate Retention Bonus in the amount of $150,000 annually, the terms of which are described in the Prior Agreement.

The Incremental Retention Bonus is an annual benefit of $50,000 payable to Mr. Underwood in equal monthly installments during his lifetime commencing with the month that follows the applicable vesting date (and, upon his death, if Mr. Underwood has remained married to his spouse on the date of the Underwood Agreement through the date of his death, in which case such spouse will be entitled to receive an annual benefit of $25,000 payable in equal monthly installments during her lifetime). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwood Agreement, the Incremental Retention Bonus will become payable if Mr. Underwood’s employment is terminated (i) for any reason on or after December 31, 2012, in which case the Incremental Retention Bonus payment will begin the month following Mr. Underwood’s Separation from Service (as defined in the Underwood Agreement); (ii) by us, without cause, or by Mr. Underwood with good reason, in which case the Incremental Retention Bonus payment will begin the month following the expiration of the Severance Period (as such term is defined in the Underwood Agreement); or (iii) by reason of Mr. Underwood’s death or disability, in which case the Incremental Retention Bonus payment will begin the month following the effective date of such termination.

The above summary of the material amended terms of the Underwood Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Underwood Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is in its entirety incorporated into this Item 5.02.
