A Person shall be admitted as a Member and shall become bound by the terms of this Agreement (i) in the case of Class A Common Units and Class B Common Units, when such Person purchases or otherwise lawfully acquires a Unit and becomes the Record Holder of such Unit, and (ii) in the case of Class C Common Units and Class M Common Units, when such Person purchases or otherwise lawfully acquires a Unit and becomes the Record Holder of such Unit, in each case, with or without the execution of this Agreement. A Person may become a Record Holder or a Unitholder without the consent or approval of the Members. A Person may not become a Member without acquiring a Unit. The name and mailing address, and the number and class of Units held by, each Member shall be listed in the Register, in each case, to the extent known by the Company. The Company shall or shall cause and instruct the Transfer Agent to update the Register from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information contained therein. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, (i) all beneficial holders of Notes under (x) that certain Indenture, dated as of April 29, 2011 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time), by and among CCFI, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, together as indenture trustee, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent and (y) that certain Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2012 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time), by and among CCFI, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, together as indenture trustee, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent, as of the Effective Date shall automatically receive their pro rata share of Class A Units on the Effective Date without the requirement of executing this Agreement or taking any other action.

Section 3.2 Capital Contributions. Each Unitholder (or such Unitholder’s predecessor in interest) on and as of the Effective Date, has made (or has been deemed, whether because of loan modifications related to the Restructuring Agreement or otherwise, to have made) capital contributions to the Company in exchange for the Units. Each Unitholder’s interest in the Company, including the right to vote on certain matters as provided in this Agreement, shall be represented by the Units beneficially owned by such Unitholder. No Unitholder shall be obligated

to make any additional capital contributions to the Company.

Section 3.3 Certificates; Books and Records. The Units of the Company may be issued in book-entry form or evidenced by certificates; provided that every Record Holder shall be entitled upon request to have a certificate or certificates, to be in such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of Units of the Company held by such holder; provided that, any such certificates shall bear such appropriate legend(s) indicating the existence of this Agreement and the restrictions on Transfer contained herein, as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion (which may include no legend at all). Any certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two (2) Officers. In the event that a Unit, including a Unit to be issued in global form, is to be evidenced by a certificate, no such certificate shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by and registered in the Register. Certificates for any class or series of Units shall be uniquely numbered and shall be entered in the Register as they are issued and shall exhibit the Record Holder’s name and number and type of Units. The Register may be amended from time to time by the Company or the Transfer Agent (as instructed by the Company) to reflect changes pursuant to any Transfers of Units made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as well as to reflect the admission of additional Members added in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except for in connection with those rights specifically afforded the Members herein , the Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner with respect to any Unit and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Unit on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, including in connection with any Distribution pursuant to Article IV or Article XI or the exercise of any voting or other rights, except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Units, as between the Company, on the one hand, and such other Person, on the other hand, such representative Person shall be deemed the Record Holder of such Unit.

Section 3.4 Conversion of Class B Common Units. The Class B Common Units shall be converted into an equal number of Class A Common Units, with no further action required by the Company or the holders of the Class B Common Units, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the full repayment in cash of all indebtedness owed under the New PIK Notes and (ii) any issuance of Redemption Units (the occurrence of the events described in either of clause (i) or clause (ii), a “Class B Conversion Event”); provided that in the case of clause (ii), immediately prior to the conversion of the Class B Common Units but immediately after such issuance of Redemption Units (and taking into account any such Redemption Units issued), the Company shall issue to each holder of Class B Common Units the Additional Class B Common Units in proportion to each such holder’s Class B Common Units Percentage Interest (excluding any such Additional Class B Common Units to be issued).

Section 3.5 Adjustment to Class C Common Units. In the event of any issuance of Redemption Units, the Company shall immediately after such issuance (and taking into account any such Units issued) issue to each holder of Class C Common Units the Additional Class C Common Units in proportion to each such holder’s Class C Common Units Percentage Interest

(excluding any such Additional Class C Common Units to be issued). Except as otherwise provided for in the preceding sentence, no additional Class C Common Units shall be issued.

Section 3.6 Adjustment to Class M Common Units. In the event of any issuance of Redemption Units and at the Class C Distribution Trigger Time, the Company shall immediately after such issuance (and taking into account any such Units issued) or time, as the case may be, issue to each holder of Class M Common Units the Additional Class M Common Units in proportion to each such holder’s Class M Common Units Percentage Interests (excluding any such Additional Class M Common Units to be issued). For the avoidance of doubt, any Class M Common Units not issued to existing holders pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be reserved by the Company for issuance in accordance with a management incentive plan to be adopted (and as may be amended from time to time) by the Board and such amount of unissued Class M Common Units shall be increased so that the sum of issued Class M Common Units and unissued Class M Common Units shall represent fifteen percent (15%) of all outstanding Common Units outstanding at such time.

Section 3.7 Issuances of Additional Units. Subject to Section 6.9(a) and Section 9.3:

(a) The Company may issue any number of Units or other equity securities of the Company or any options, interests, warrants or similar instruments representing rights to acquire Units or other equity securities of the Company, for any Company purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine.

(b) Additional Units authorized to be issued by the Company pursuant to Section 3.7(a) may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be junior to, equivalent to or senior or superior to any existing classes or series of Units) as shall be fixed by the Board.

(c) The Board is hereby authorized to take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Units or other equity securities of the Company or any options, interests, warrants or similar instruments representing rights to acquire Units or other equity securities of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.7, including the admission of additional Members in connection therewith and any related amendment of this Agreement and (ii) all additional issuances of Units or other equity securities of the Company or any options, interests, warrants or similar instruments representing rights to acquire Units or other equity securities of the Company.

In the event that restrictions on Transfer or change in beneficial ownership of Units set forth herein have been breached, the Company may withhold Distributions in respect of the affected Units until such breach has been cured.

Section 4.2 Indemnification for Payments. If the Company is required by law to make any payment that is specifically attributable to a holder of Units or to such Person’s status as a holder of Units (including federal withholding Taxes), then such holder shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each holder of Units under this Section 4.2, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification and contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum, compounded as of the last day of each year (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two (2) or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the Units that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

Section 5.3 Actions in Writing. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting by written action signed by Members or Unitholders holding such percentage of the Voting Power as would be required to take such action at a meeting of Members at which all Members or Unitholders with Voting Power were present. If any written action is taken by less than all Members or Unitholders with Voting Power, all Members with Voting Power shall be notified promptly of the text and effective date of such

written action. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not invalidate such written action.

Section 5.4 Meetings. Meetings of Members shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board; provided, however, (a) that for so long as there is a Qualified Noteholder or a Former Qualified Noteholder, the Company shall not be required to have an annual meeting for the election or appointment of Managers unless otherwise required by applicable law and (b) in the event that there is not a Qualified Noteholder or a Former Qualified Noteholder, the Company shall have an annual meeting each year at a date and time determined by the Board for the election or appointment of Managers (such meeting to be held in accordance with the Act and the terms of this Agreement).

Section 5.5 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings and Notice Thereof. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Formation, the Unitholders holding a majority in Voting Power, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the Members. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum and the votes present may continue to transact business until adjournment in accordance with this Section 5.5. Any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the chairperson presiding over the meeting or by a majority of the Voting Power of the Unitholders present in person or represented by proxy, and may be reconvened at the same or some other place, and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.5, notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

Business transacted at any special meeting of Members shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice.

The Board shall designate a person to take the minutes of any meeting and all minutes shall be kept with the records of the Company maintained by the Board.

Section 5.8 Notice.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement, the notice of any meeting shall be given to each Member entitled to vote at such meeting in accordance with this Section 5.8 and not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. All notices given pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall be deemed delivered in accordance with Section 13.9. Notice to any Member of any meeting may be waived by such Member before or after such meeting and the attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Member attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at such meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5.9 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members or to give approval of action without a meeting as provided in Section 5.3, the Board may set a record date, which shall not be less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before (a) the date of the meeting or (b) in the event that approvals are sought in writing without a meeting, the date by which Members are requested in writing by the Board to give such approvals. A determination of Members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

The Observer shall, prior to attending any meetings or receiving any information, execute and deliver a reasonable stand-alone confidentiality agreement in a customary form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Observer shall be automatically removed and all rights of the Observer

hereunder shall terminate upon consummation of a redemption in full of the PIK Notes or if SMH Noteholder ceases to hold through funds or accounts it advises or manages at least Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) in principal amount of the New PIK Notes.

Any Officer may be removed and/or replaced at any time by the determination of the Managers.

Section 6.13 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Company shall, at all times, maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in such amounts and on such terms as approved by the Board.

In the event the Company consummates a refinancing transaction with respect to the Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement) and the Ivy Credit Agreement (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement) on terms approved by the Board pursuant to Section 6.9 hereof which are acceptable to the Allianz Noteholder in its sole discretion, (a) prior to the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, two-thirds of all Class B Common Units issued on the Effective Date and outstanding immediately prior to such refinancing shall be deemed returned to the Company by each Member holding Class B Common Units on a pro rata basis and will be available for issuance by the Company in the form of Additional Financing Units to the provider of such refinancing (provided that, such Additional Financing Units, at the election of the Allianz Noteholder, may be in the form of non-voting Units), on the one hand, and ratably to each Member holding Class B Common Units, on the other hand, in such amounts as are determined by the Board and are acceptable to the Allianz Noteholder in its sole discretion, and (b) prior to the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, one-third of all Class B Common Units issued on the Effective Date and outstanding immediately prior to the refinancing shall be deemed returned to the Company by each Member holding Class B Common Units on a pro rata basis and will be available for issuance by the Company in the form of Additional Financing Units to the provider of such refinancing (provided that, such Additional Financing Units, at the election of the Allianz Noteholder, may be in the form of non-voting Units), on the one hand, and ratably to each Member holding Class B Common Units, on the other hand, in such amounts as are determined by the Board and are acceptable to the Allianz Noteholder in its sole discretion; provided, however, that in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b) above, if the holders of Class B Common Units are not a provider of such refinancing then the Allianz Noteholder shall have no approval right in connection with determining the amount of Class B Common Units that may be available in the form of Additional Financing Units to the provider of such refinancing and the Members holding Class B Common Units. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of Additional Financing Units pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be subject to the Additional Financing Units Cap.

ARTICLE X

PUBLIC OFFERING; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 10.1 IPO; Registration Rights. If, subject to Section 6.9, at any time the Board desires to cause the initial Public Offering of securities of the Company or an IPO Entity (an “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) or Public Offering, the Company and Members, as applicable, shall comply with the following provisions:

(a) IPO Entity. If the Board desires to cause (i) a Transfer of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or the Units to a newly organized corporation or other business entity (an “IPO Entity”), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a IPO Entity, or (iii) another restructuring of all or substantially all the assets or Units of the Company into an IPO Entity, including by way of the conversion of the Company into a corporation (provided that the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to replicate the rights and obligations of each class of Units in the organizational documents of such corporation) (any such corporation also herein referred to as an “IPO Entity”), in any such case in anticipation of or otherwise in connection with the Initial Public Offering or Public Offering, as the case may be, which, prior to the New PIK Notes Redemption would qualify as a Specified Event, the Company and each Member shall take such steps to effect such Transfer, merger, consolidation, conversion or other restructuring as may be reasonably requested by the Board, including, without limitation, executing and delivering all agreements, instruments and documents as may be reasonably required and Transferring or tendering such Member’s Units to an IPO Entity in exchange or consideration for shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the IPO Entity, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth in this Section 10.1.

(b) Registration Rights. The Company shall comply with the registration rights agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(c) Class M Common Units. The Company and Members shall take such steps as necessary to exchange or convert the Class M Common Units for or into a proportionate number of shares of voting common stock or other voting common equity interests of the IPO Entity.

(d) Class C Common Units. The Company and Members shall take such steps as necessary to exchange or convert the Class C Common Units for or into a proportionate number of shares of voting common stock or other voting common equity interests of the IPO Entity.

Section 10.2 Fair Market Value. In connection with a transaction described in Section 10.1, the Board shall, in good faith but subject to the following sentence, determine the fair market value of the assets and/or Units Transferred to, merged with or converted into shares of the IPO Entity, the aggregate fair market value of the IPO Entity and the number of shares of capital stock or other equity interests to be issued to each Member in exchange or consideration therefor. In determining fair market value, (i) the closing price to the public in the Initial Public Offering shall be used by the Board to determine the fair market value of the capital stock or other equity interests of the IPO Entity and (ii) the Distributions that the Members would have received with respect to

their Units if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and Distributions made to the Members in accordance with Section 4.1 shall determine the fair market value of the Units.

Section 10.3 Appointment of Proxy. Each Member hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Company, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, its true and lawful attorney, for it and in its name, place and stead and for its use and benefit, to act as its proxy in respect of any vote or approval of Members required to give effect to this Article X, including any vote or approval required under § 18-209 or § 18-216 of the Act.

(b) the sale or other disposition of all of the Company’s assets; or

Section 11.2 Termination. In the event of a dissolution of the Company, the business of the Company shall be wound up and the Company terminated as promptly as practicable thereafter.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3 or this Section 11.4, the Board may retain such amount as it reasonably deems necessary as a reserve for any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Company, which reserve, after the passage of a reasonable period of time, shall be distributed pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.1 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 13.2 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, and the terms Article, Section and Schedule refer to the specified Article, Section or Schedule of this Agreement. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document, or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words “or,” “either,” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement among the Members in their capacity as Members (other than any agreement to the extent further restricting the Transfer of Units entered into on or after the

Effective Date, by and among the Members holding Voting Units), this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict.

Section 13.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising hereunder or in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware.

Section 13.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Members, Unitholders and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 13.5 Waivers. The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation, and no delay by any party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 13.6 Entire Agreement. This instrument contains all of the understandings and agreements of whatever kind and nature existing between the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement and the rights, interests, understandings, agreements and obligations of the respective parties pertaining to the continuing operations of the Company.

Section 13.7 Confidentiality. Each Member and Unitholder hereby agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates not to, at any time reveal to any Person or use in any way detrimental to the other party or the Company, or the Company’s business, any of the non-public, confidential or proprietary information received in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, other than such information that (a) is obtained or developed independently, (b) is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure by such Person in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement to which such Person is a party); (c) is available to such Person on a non-confidential basis from a source (including any Member, as the case may be) that is not prohibited from disclosing such information to such Person, or (d) is obtained in accordance with Section 8.3. Nothing in this Section 13.7 shall limit any Member from (i) complying with any applicable regulation, (ii) distributing information to Affiliates, provided such information shall remain subject to this Section 13.7, (iii) making disclosures required to be made to a banking, financial, accounting or securities supervisory authority or similar supervisory authority pursuant to such authority’s exercise of its supervisory or audit functions or (iv) as required under applicable law or under subpoena or other process of laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member may disclose confidential information regarding the Company and the Company’s business to such Member’s attorneys, other advisors and proposed transferees of Units so long as such attorneys, other advisors and proposed transferees agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent applicable to Members hereunder and, with respect to proposed transferees, such prospective Transfer would be permitted under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Unitholder shall be (A) entitled to receive any of the non-public, confidential or proprietary information provided to Members in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) afforded the protections provided to Members making permitted disclosures of such non-public, confidential or proprietary information under this Section 13.7.

Section 13.8 Third Party Beneficiaries

(a) As it relates to Section 6.8(d) and Section 6.10 and the registration rights agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, any beneficial holder, together with its Affiliates, of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) or more of New PIK Notes, is hereby named as a third-party beneficiary, entitled to fully exercise any rights and benefits afforded to the Members and Unitholders in connection with such Sections.

(b) Except as provided under Section 13.8(a), this Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Members and Unitholders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement.

Section 13.9 Notices. All notices, deliveries and other communications pursuant to this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed given if delivered personally, telecopied, delivered by globally recognized express delivery service or sent by electronic mail to the Company or the Members at the addresses or facsimile numbers set forth in the books and records of the Company or to such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as the Person to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the Company in writing in accordance herewith.
