Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 19, 2006, QC Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as Agent and Arranger for Bank Midwest, N.A., Enterprise Bank & Trust, Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. and National City Bank (collectively, the “Banks”), which provides for a revolving line of credit (including provisions permitting the issuance of letters of credit) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $45,000,000.

On October 17, 2007 the Company, Agent and Banks executed a Second Amendment Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2007, which amended the financial covenants that affect the Company’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock and pay dividends on its stock. The banks also waived any default under the credit agreement (prior to the amendment) as a result of the Company’s repurchase of approximately $4.6 million of its common stock in August 2007.

The credit agreement, as amended, contains financial covenants related to EBITDA (earnings before interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization), total indebtedness, fixed charges and minimum consolidated net worth. The obligations of the Company under the credit agreement are guaranteed by all the operating subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by liens on substantially all of the personal property of the Company and its operating subsidiaries. The Banks may accelerate the obligations of the Company under the credit agreement if there is a change in control of the Company, including an acquisition of 25% or more of the equity securities of the Company by any person or group. The credit facility matures on January 19, 2009.
