Incentive Bonuses

      At a meeting on February 26, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of Aaron Rents, Inc. (the "Company") approved plan rules under the
Company's Executive Bonus Plan for its 2008 fiscal year for the following
executive officers of the Company (the "named executive officers"): R. Charles
Loudermilk, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Robert C. Loudermilk,
Jr., President and Chief Operating Officer; Gilbert L. Danielson, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer; W. Kenneth Butler, President, Aaron's
Sales & Lease Ownership Division; and K. Todd Evans, Vice President,
Franchising, Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership Division.

      As with bonuses in prior years, the 2008 plan rules provide for the
payment to the named executive officers of cash incentives equal to specified
percentages of the pre-tax earnings of the Company for its 2008 fiscal year,
provided that 2008 pre-tax earnings exceed those of 2007, except in the cases of
Mr. Butler, whose bonus depends on the cash basis pre-tax earnings of the
Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership Division, and of Mr. Evans, whose bonus depends
on achievement of quarterly pre-tax profit objectives for the Aaron's Sales &
Lease Ownership Division's franchise operations and on new franchised store
openings. The maximum percentage of pre-tax earnings that may be awarded is
0.7%, for Mr. Loudermilk, Sr. Until further notice, the Board intends to
continue this incentive plan in subsequent fiscal years.

Salaries

      At its February 26, 2008 meeting, the Compensation Committee also approved
salary increases of $25,000 for each of Messrs. Loudermilk, Jr., Danielson and
Butler, and $10,000 for Mr. Evans, bringing their annual salaries to the
following amounts: Messrs. Loudermilk, Jr. and Danielson--$425,000 each; Mr.
Butler--$500,000; and Mr. Evans--$210,000. Mr. Loudermilk, Sr.'s annual salary
remained at $800,000.
