                   FORM OF AMENDMENT TO OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
                                      UNDER
          THE AARON RENTS, INC. STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN.

[Grantee Name]


PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL


Dear [Grantee]:

     Aaron Rents, Inc. (the "Company") previously granted you options to
purchase common stock of the Company under the Aaron Rents, Inc. Stock Option
and Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan"), which have an exercise price that is less
than the fair market value of a share of stock on the grant date (the
"Options"). Under recent tax law changes, these discount Options could subject
you to an additional 20% income tax unless the Options are amended to comply
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section
409A").

     The Compensation Committee of the Company has determined it is best to
amend these Options to provide that the exercise price shall be increased to
equal the fair market value per share on the grant date, adjusted, if
applicable, to reflect the Company's 3 for 2 stock split that occurred August 2,
2004. In addition, to compensate you for the increase in the exercise price of
the Options, the Company will pay you the original total discount amount in cash
on the Vesting Date (as listed below) if you remain employed until the Vesting
Date or if you die or terminate employment due to Retirement (as defined in the
Plan) prior to the Vesting Date. If you terminate employment prior to the
Vesting Date for any reason other than death or Retirement, you will have no
right to receive the cash discount amount.

     The table below lists for each Option grant: the grant date, the original
number of shares subject to each grant, the original exercise price, the fair
market value of a share of stock on the grant date, the adjusted number of
shares (adjusted, if applicable, to reflect the Company's 3 for 2 stock split),
the amended, adjusted exercise price (which equals the fair market value on the
grant date, adjusted, if applicable, to reflect the Company's 3 for 2 stock
split), the total discount amount that will be paid to you in cash on the
Vesting Date, and the Vesting Date.

     This amendment is intended to comply with Section 409A and the guidance
issued thereunder, including Notice 2005-1, the proposed regulations under
Section 409A that were published October 4, 2005, and Notice 2006-79. It is
intended that the Options, as hereby amended, will be exempt from Section 409A
and that the cash payment of the original discount amount will comply with the
requirements of Section 409A. The Options may be further amended if required to
meet the requirements of Code Section 409A including any final regulations
issued thereunder.

     Please sign below to indicate your consent to the amendment of your Options
as described in this letter agreement. Sincerely,


                                                Gilbert L. Danielson
                                                Executive Vice President and CFO

     I hereby agree to the amendment of the Options listed above to eliminate
the original discount by increasing the exercise prices as detailed above. I
understand that if I remain employed until the applicable Vesting Date (or if I
die or terminate employment due to Retirement prior to the Vesting Date), the
Company will pay me the total original discount in a lump sum payment, subject
to applicable withholding for taxes, on such Vesting Date. Except as hereby
amended, the Options shall continue in accordance with their terms.
