Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On October 31, 2006, Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Executive Change-in-Control Severance Agreement with Albert Goldstein, who was elected as the Company’s Executive Vice President of Internet Lending following the Company’s acquisition of the assets of The Check Giant, LLC, d/b/a CashNetUSA.

     The agreement has the same provisions as the Executive Change-in-Control Severance Agreements between the Company and its other executive vice presidents, which are described in the Company’s 2006 Proxy Statement. Mr. Goldstein’s agreement provides that if he is terminated other than for cause within twenty-four months after a "change in control" of the Company (as that term is defined in the agreement), then he will be entitled to (1) earned and unpaid salary, (2) a pro-rated portion of the target bonus under the existing bonus plan based on the number of months employed during the year, (3) a lump sum equal to two times the executive's annual salary, (4) a lump sum equal to two times the greater of (i) the target bonus for the year, or (ii) the actual bonus for the preceding year, (5) immediate vesting of any outstanding unvested cash-based and equity-based long-term incentive awards, (6) continued health benefits for twenty-four months, and (7) executive placement services from an executive search/placement firm. In addition, the Company would be obligated to pay Mr. Goldstein an amount sufficient to cover the costs of any excise tax that may be triggered by the payments referred to in the preceding sentence, together with an amount sufficient to cover his additional state and federal income, excise, and employment taxes that may arise on this additional payment.
