         3.       CLOSINGS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                  3.1 The sale of the First Preferred Shares to be purchased by
the Purchasers shall take place at the offices of Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson,
P.A., 350 East Las Olas Boulevard, 16th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301,
at 10:00 a.m., local time, at a closing (the "First Closing") on August 2, 2000,
provided the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4 (other than Section
4.13 which shall be satisfied at the Second Closing) have been satisfied or
waived by the party entitled to waive such condition or on such other Business
Day thereafter or prior to such date as may be agreed upon by the Company and
the Purchasers.

                  3.2 The sale of the Second Preferred Shares to be purchased by
the Purchasers shall take place at the offices of Akerman, Senterfitt & Eidson,
P.A., 350 East Las Olas Boulevard, 16th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 at

First Closing, the "Closings") on the third Business Day after the conditions to
the Second Closing set forth in Section 4 have been satisfied or waived by the
party entitled to waive such conditions or on such other Business Day thereafter
or prior to such date as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers.

                  3.3 The names in which the Company will register the shares of
the Stock to be purchased at the Closings are as set forth in EXHIBIT A. At each
of the Closings, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Shares to be
purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single certificate (or such greater
number of certificates representing such Shares as such Purchaser may request)
dated the date of the Closing, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly,
agrees to deliver to the Company or its order cash in immediately available
funds in the amount of the purchase price for the Shares being purchased by such
Purchaser to an account designated by the Company. If at a Closing the Company
shall fail to tender to the Purchasers the Shares to be purchased by the
Purchasers, as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions
specified in the first paragraph of Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled,
each Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations
under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any other rights such Purchaser
may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment; provided, however,
that if the First Closing has already occurred, then only the obligation to
proceed with the Second Closing may be relieved, and all other obligations of
the parties hereunder shall remain in effect with respect to the Shares issued
to the Purchasers at the First Closing. If at a Closing, (i) any of the
Purchasers shall fail to tender to the Company the purchase price for the
Shares, as provided above in this Section 3, other than on account of any of the
conditions specified in the first paragraph of Section 4 not having been
fulfilled or on account of the breach by the Company of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) if the representations and warranties of any of
the Purchasers contained in Section 6 shall not be true and correct, then the
Company shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under
this Agreement, without thereby waiving any other rights the Company may have by
reason of such failure; provided, however, that if the First Closing has already
occurred, then only the obligation to proceed with the Second Closing may be
relieved, and all other obligations of the parties hereunder shall remain in
effect with respect to the Shares issued to the Purchasers at the First Closing.
If the stockholders of the Company vote on but do not approve the issue and sale
of the Shares to the Purchasers, then the Company shall, at its election, be
relieved of the obligation to proceed with the Second Closing, in which case all
other obligations of the parties

                                        2
<PAGE>   4

hereunder shall remain in effect with respect to the Shares issued to the
Purchasers at the First Closing.

         4. CONDITIONS TO EACH CLOSING. Each of the Purchasers' obligation to
purchase and pay for the Shares to be sold to such Purchaser at each Closing is
subject to the fulfillment, prior to or concurrently with such Closing, of the
following conditions. The obligation of each Purchaser to purchase the First
Preferred Shares at the First Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or

warranties of the Company contained in Section 5.6 of this Agreement shall be

Section 5.6. The other representations and warranties of the Company contained
in this Agreement shall be true and correct when made and at the time of the
Closing, except as affected by the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, and except where the failure of such representations and
warranties to be so true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as
to "materiality" or "Material Adverse Effect" set forth therein) would not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

represents and warrants that:

                  5.1 ORGANIZATION, STANDING, ETC. The Company is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and
operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted, to enter into and perform all of its obligations under
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, to issue and sell the
Shares to be issued and sold at the Closing (except that the issue and sale of
the Second Preferred Shares shall require the approval of the stockholders of
the Company) and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

                  5.2 SUBSIDIARIES. SCHEDULE 5.2 lists as to each Subsidiary of
the Company on the date of this Agreement (a) its name, (b) the jurisdiction of
its incorporation or organization and (c) the percentage of its issued and
outstanding shares or other ownership interests owned by the Company or by
another Subsidiary of the Company (specifying such other Subsidiary), as the
case may be. Each Subsidiary of the Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of each
Subsidiary of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
all such shares indicated in SCHEDULE 5.2 as owned by the Company or by a
Subsidiary of the Company are so owned beneficially and of record by the Company
or by such Subsidiary, as the case may be, free and clear of any Lien except as
indicated in SCHEDULE 5.2.

                  5.3 QUALIFICATION. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is
duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation authorized to do
business in each jurisdiction (other than the jurisdiction of its incorporation)
in which the nature of its activities or the character of the properties it owns
or leases makes such qualification necessary and in which the failure so to
qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. A "Material Adverse Effect" shall
mean any effect that is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the
properties, business, results of operations or financial condition of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

                  5.4 BUSINESS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered
to the Purchasers complete and correct copies of the audited consolidated
balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and

stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Such audited financial statements are

accompanied by the report of Arthur Andersen LLP, which states that the
Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with GAAP, and that the audit by
such accountants of the Financial Statements has been made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards. The Company has also delivered to the
Purchasers complete and correct copies of the unaudited consolidated balance
sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000, and the related
unaudited consolidated statement of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the three month period ended on such
date. Such unaudited financial statements are hereinafter referred to as the
"Unaudited Statements." The Financial Statements and the Unaudited Statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the
periods involved (except as otherwise specified therein) and present fairly the
financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective
dates specified, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the respective periods specified. The Company's results for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 will be consistent with the estimated results previously disclosed
to the Purchasers' representatives.

                  5.5 CHANGES, ETC. Since December 31, 1999, except as disclosed
in Commission Documents and except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.5, neither the
Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has sustained any loss or interference with
its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not
covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action,
order or decree which would be material to the Company and the Subsidiaries
taken as a whole, otherwise than as reserved for as disclosed in the Company's
financial statements; and except as disclosed in Commission Documents and except
as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.5, there has not been any change in the capital stock
of the Company or increase in the long-term debt (other than accretion or
scheduled repayments thereof) of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, or any change which has had a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.6 CAPITAL STOCK AND RELATED MATTERS. The authorized capital
stock of the Company consists of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share. As of the date
hereof, there are (i) 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding, (ii) 58,352,704 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding, (iii) 14,285,714 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of

stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company. All issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have
been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free
of preemptive rights. The Shares, when issued to the Purchasers in accordance
with this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable and free of preemptive rights (except that the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock's preemptive rights will have been exercised as set
forth in EXHIBIT F). Except as set forth above and on SCHEDULE 5.6, as of the
date hereof, there are no outstanding securities convertible into or
exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the

                                        6

<PAGE>   8

Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any outstanding rights (either preemptive
or other) to subscribe for or to purchase, or any outstanding options for the
purchase of, or any agreements providing for the issuance (contingent or
otherwise) of, or any outstanding calls, commitments or claims of any character
relating to, any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.6, as
of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject
to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire
or retire any shares of its capital stock or any convertible securities, rights
or options of the type described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or has knowledge of, any agreement
restricting the transfer of any shares of the Company's capital stock which
would affect the transferability of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Stock. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.6, as of the date hereof, the
Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or commitment pursuant to
which the Company is or could be required to register any securities under the
Securities Act of 1933.

                  5.7 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. The Company and each of the
Subsidiaries have filed all material federal, state, local and foreign income,
payroll, franchise and other tax returns required to be filed (after giving
effect to extensions) and have paid all taxes shown as due thereon, all such tax
returns are true, complete and accurate in all material respects, and there is
no tax deficiency that has been, or to the knowledge of the Company is likely to
be, asserted against the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their
properties or assets that would result in a Material Adverse Effect, except for
taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which the Company has established adequate reserves in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

                  5.8 INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY. SCHEDULE 5.8 correctly
describes all secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (other than intercompany items) outstanding, or for which the
Company or one of its Subsidiaries has commitments, which is individually in
excess of $5,000,000 ("Significant Indebtedness") (excluding operating leases),
as of the date set forth on SCHEDULE 5.8. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any Indebtedness or any instrument or
agreement relating thereto, nor has any event occurred (i) that with the giving
of notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default thereunder, or
(ii) that has given or that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or
both would give rise to a right of termination, amendment, cancellation or
acceleration of any right or obligation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries thereunder, or to a loss of any material benefit to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled thereunder, except for any
default, termination, amendment, cancellation, acceleration or loss of material
benefit related to Indebtedness other than Significant Indebtedness as would
not, either in any case or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.9 TITLE TO PROPERTIES; LIENS. The Company and each of the
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property (other than
property which is leased) material to the conduct of the business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and good and marketable title to all
personal property (other than property which is leased) material to the conduct
of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each
case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are
described on SCHEDULE 5.9 or such as do not in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect; and any real property and buildings held under

                                        7
<PAGE>   9

lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries, material to the conduct of the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are held by them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are
described on SCHEDULE 5.9 and except for such other exceptions as do not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.10 LITIGATION, ETC. There is no action, proceeding or
investigation pending or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened (or any
basis therefor known to the Company) which questions the validity of this
Agreement, the Shares or any action taken or to be taken pursuant to this
Agreement, the Shares or the Registration Rights Agreement. Other than as set
forth on SCHEDULE 5.10 and as disclosed in Commission Documents, there are no
legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or the
Subsidiaries is the subject, which if determined adversely to the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect; and, to the Company's knowledge, no such proceedings which would
in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect are threatened or contemplated
by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

                  5.11 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS, ETC. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of its
certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational
document, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of
any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
bound or any term of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority or any term of any applicable order, judgment or decree
of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority, the consequences of which
violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.11, the compliance by the Company with all of the
provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, the issuance by the Company of the Common Stock
upon the conversion of the Shares, and the compliance with the terms of the
Certificate of Designation will not conflict with or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an
event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would
constitute a default) under, or give rise to a right of termination, amendment,
cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries under, or give rise to a loss of any material benefit to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under, or require any
consent, approval or authorization under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company

the Subsidiaries or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or any of their properties except in each case as would not,

instance of the Company or any Person acting on behalf of or at the request of
the Company or any agent of the Company in connection with any of the

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 1999, contains
(in each case, as of its date) any untrue statement of a material fact or omits

                  5.17 ENFORCEABILITY. This Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement have been duly authorized and when validly executed and

respective terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by

the Subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of
any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, singly
or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.21 GOVERNMENT LICENSES. The Company and the Subsidiaries
possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations
(collectively, "Governmental Licenses") issued by the appropriate federal,

the Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in
the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding,

or except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse
Effect: (a) neither the Company

Subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental Laws.

                  5.23 INSURANCE. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has

and the Subsidiaries or agent of such insurer that capital improvements or other
expenditures will have to be made in order to continue present insurance

aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.24 INTERNAL CONTROLS. The Company and the Subsidiaries

has violated any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,

         6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser
hereby severally and not jointly represents and warrants as to itself and not as
to the other Purchasers as follows:

                  6.1      INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.

                            (a) Each Purchaser understands that neither the
         Shares nor any Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, of the
         Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and that the
         certificates for the Shares and such Common Stock will bear a legend to
         that effect, based in part upon its representations contained in this
         Agreement.

                            (b) NR2 Holdings Limited is acquiring the Shares for
         its own account and/or for the account of Affiliates of Investcorp S.A.
         ("Investcorp") and certain other international investors with whom
         Investcorp has administrative relationships and who have acquired or
         may acquire equity interests in such Purchaser. Each other Purchaser is
         acquiring the Shares for its account and/or for the account of its
         Affiliates. None of the Purchasers is acquiring the Shares with a view
         toward distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act.
         None of the Purchasers, nor Investcorp, nor any Person acting on their
         behalf has taken or will take any action in connection with the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the offering, sale or
         issuance of any equity interests in any Purchaser which would subject
         the offering, issuance or sale of the Shares to the provisions of
         Section 5 of the Securities Act.

                            (c) NR2 Holdings Limited represents that by reason
         of the business or financial experience of Investcorp and its
         Affiliates, and the business or financial experience of each of the
         other international investors who have acquired or may acquire equity
         interests in such Purchaser, such Purchaser and its shareholders have
         the capacity to protect their own interests in connection with the
         transaction contemplated in this Agreement. Each other Purchaser
         represents that by reason of its and its Affiliates' business or
         financial experience, such Purchaser and its shareholders, if any, have
         the capacity to protect their own interests in connection with the
         transaction contemplated in this Agreement.

                            (d) Each Purchaser has been given access to all
         Company documents, records, and other information, and has had adequate
         opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the
         Company's officers, employees, agents, accountants, and
         representatives, concerning the Company's business, operations,
         financial condition, assets, liabilities, and other matters considered
         by it as relevant to its investment in the Shares.

                                       12

<PAGE>   14

                  6.2 NO BROKERS. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the
Company that no broker's or finder's fees or commissions will be payable by such
Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement, and each Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold the Company harmless from any claim, demand or liability for broker's
or finder's fees alleged to have been incurred at the instance of such
Purchaser, its Affiliates or agents or any Person acting on behalf of or at the
request of such Purchaser, its Affiliates or agents.

                  6.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Each Purchaser will comply with all
filing and other reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 16(a) of the
Exchange Act which shall be applicable to such Purchaser with respect to the
Shares and to the Common Stock issuable or issued on conversion of the Shares,
it being understood that this Section shall be deemed satisfied if such
Purchaser acts in good faith and with the advice of legal counsel with respect
to such filings and reporting.

                  6.4 POWER AND AUTHORITY; ENFORCEABILITY. Each of the
Purchasers has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Purchasers has taken all actions
necessary to authorize its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by each of the Purchasers and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws). Each Purchaser has sufficient financial means and ability to deliver the
purchase price for the Shares to be purchased by it at each Closing.

                  6.5 HSR ACT. NR2 Holdings Limited warrants and represents that
it is not required to file a notification within the meaning of such term in the
HSR Act, at any time in connection with its execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the conclusion of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  6.6 NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS; NO LIMITATION. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that, in connection with the acquisition of the Shares, no
representations or warranties of any type or description have been made to such
Purchaser by any Person with regard to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any
of their respective businesses, properties or prospects or the acquisition of
the Shares contemplated herein, other than the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 5. Nothing in this Section 6 shall limit the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 5 or the
rights of the Purchasers to rely thereon.

         7. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. The Company covenants that from and after the
date of this Agreement through the Closing and thereafter, but, in the cases of
Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.10, only so long as the holders of Shares are entitled
under the Certificate of Designation to elect as a class at least one member of
the Company's Board of Directors:

                  7.1 EXCHANGE ACT AND SECURITIES ACT FILINGS. The Company will

the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  7.2 CERTIFICATES; OTHER INFORMATION. The Company will deliver

Preferred Stock: (a) promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of all final reports
submitted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by independent certified
public accountants in connection with each annual, interim or (but only if the
holders of the Shares are then entitled under the Certificate of Designation to
elect as a class at least one member of the Company's Board of Directors)
special audit of the books of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries made by
such accountants, including, without limitation, any final comment letter
submitted by such accountants to management in connection with their annual
audit; (b) promptly upon their becoming available, copies of all financial
statements, reports, notices and proxy statements sent or made available
generally by the Company to all of its security holders in their capacity as

monthly financial package of information of the Company internally prepared by
the Company for distribution to its senior management, within five (5) Business
Days after such information has been distributed internally in final form; and
(d) such additional information available from the Company as such Purchaser may
reasonably request from time to time.

                  7.3 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Company will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to keep proper books of record and account in which entries
in conformity with GAAP and all Requirements of Law shall be made of all
dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.

                  7.4 RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company will at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon conversion of
the Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon

                  7.5 AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION. The Company will comply with
the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and will comply with all other
public information reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (including Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act) from time to time in effect and relating to

                  7.6 STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. As soon as practicable following the
date hereof, the Company will take all action necessary in accordance with the

Exchange (the "Stockholder Approval"). Each Purchaser covenants that it shall
cooperate and assist the Company as reasonably required to obtain such
stockholder approval and that it shall vote to approve the transactions
contemplated hereby.

                  7.7 NO CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENT EVENTS PRIOR TO SECOND
CLOSING. The Company shall not take any action prior to the consummation of the
Second Closing which would entitle the holders of the Shares to an adjustment of
the conversion price of the Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designation.

                  7.8      APPOINTMENT OF PURCHASER DESIGNEES TO THE BOARD.

                            (a) Promptly following the First Closing, the
         Company's Board of Directors will increase the size of the Company's
         Board of Directors from eight to ten and will appoint Robert G. Sharp,
         as the designee of DB Capital Investors, L.P. pursuant to the voting
         agreement contained in the Preferred Stockholders Agreement among the
         Purchasers and the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
         of the Company dated the date hereof (the "Purchasers' Voting
         Agreement") and Simon Moore as the designee of J.P. Morgan Capital
         Corporation pursuant to the Purchasers' Voting Agreement to the
         Company's Board of Directors to fill the vacancies created thereby, to
         serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company
         and until their successors are elected. In the event that either of the
         foregoing directors or any other director elected by the holders of the
         Shares (the "Series B Directors") is unable to attend a meeting of the
         Company's Board of Directors, then the Purchaser or Purchasers who
         designated such director pursuant to the Purchasers' Voting Agreement
         shall have the right to have a representative selected by it or them
         attend such meeting as a guest without voting rights in place of the
         director unable to attend such meeting; provided, however, that any
         such representative shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, that
         such representative shall have signed a confidentiality agreement in a
         form reasonably satisfactory to the Company concerning Company
         information provided in connection with such meeting and that such a
         Purchasers' representative shall not attend any two board of directors
         meetings in succession. At all times during which the holders of the
         Preferred Stock are entitled to elect at least one member of the
         Company's Board of Directors, the Certificate of Incorporation or
         Bylaws of the Company will provide for indemnification of the Company's
         directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. The
         Purchasers shall have the right to designate two directors to the
         Company's Board of Directors for the period following the First Closing
         to the date of the earlier to occur of either the Second Closing or the
         termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, provided
         the Purchasers, Investcorp and their Affiliates have voting or
         dispositive power with respect to at least 52,000 Shares. If at the end
         of such period the Purchasers, Investcorp and their Affiliates do not
         have voting or dispositive power with respect to at least 66,000
         Shares, then the two directors previously designated by the Purchasers
         may be removed by vote of the Board of Directors, after which the
         holders of the Preferred Stock may elect one director if they are
         entitled to do so pursuant to clause 7(ii)(ii) or 7(ii)(iii) of the
         Certificate of Designation.

                            (b) In the event that any of the directors elected
         by NR Holdings Limited and NR Investments Limited pursuant the
         Certificate of Designation, as amended, for the

                                       15

<PAGE>   17

         Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Directors") is
         unable to attend a meeting of the Company's Board of Directors, then
         NR2 Holdings Limited shall have the right to have a representative
         selected by it attend such meeting as a guest without voting rights in
         place of the director or directors unable to attend such meeting;
         provided, however, that any such representative shall be reasonably
         acceptable to the Company, that such representative shall have signed a
         confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
         Company concerning Company information provided in connection with such
         meeting and that such a Purchasers' representative shall not attend any
         two board of directors meetings in succession.

                  7.9 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PENDING FIRST CLOSING. The Company
will not take any action prior to the First Closing without the consent of the
Purchasers if such action would require the consent or vote of the Purchasers or
the holders of the Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation or the Registration Rights Agreement if taken after the First
Closing.

                  7.10 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Company agrees that it will not

                            (a) The Company will keep at its principal office a
         register in which the Company will provide for the registration of the
         Stock and the registration of transfers or conversion of the Stock. The
         Company may treat the Person in whose name any of the Shares or shares
         issued upon conversion of any of the Stock are registered on such
         register as the owner thereof and the Company shall not be affected by
         any notice to the contrary. All references in this Agreement to a
         "holder" of any Shares or shares issued upon conversion of any of the
         Stock shall mean the Person in whose name such Shares or shares issued
         upon conversion of any of the Stock are at the time registered on such
         register.

                            (b) Upon the surrender of any certificate for Stock,
         properly endorsed, for registration of transfer or for conversion at
         the office of the Company maintained pursuant to subdivision (a) of
         this Section 8.1, the Company at its expense will (subject to
         compliance with Section 8.2 hereof, if applicable) execute and deliver
         to or upon the order of the holder thereof (i) a new certificate or
         certificates for the same aggregate number of Shares of Stock less the
         number of Shares of Stock being converted or transferred, if any, in
         the name of such

                                       16

<PAGE>   18

         holder or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable
         transfer taxes) may direct, (ii) a certificate or certificates for the
         number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the
         Shares of Stock so surrendered, if applicable, in the name of such
         holder or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable
         transfer taxes) may direct, and (iii) a new certificate or certificates
         for the number of Shares of Stock transferred, if applicable, in the
         name of the transferee (upon payment by such holder of any applicable
         transfer taxes).

                  8.2 REPLACEMENT OF CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any certificate representing shares of Stock or Common Stock
issued upon the conversion of Shares of Stock and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction of any certificate representing shares of Stock or Common
Stock issued upon the conversion of Shares of Stock held by a Person other than
the Purchasers, upon delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Company in form and amount or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender of such certificate representing shares of Stock or Common Stock
issued upon the conversion of Shares of Stock for cancellation at the office of
the Company maintained pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8.1 hereof, the
Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
certificate representing shares of Stock or Common Stock of like tenor.

                  8.3 RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. Except as otherwise permitted by this
Section 8, each certificate for Stock (including each certificate for Stock
issued upon the transfer of any certificate for Stock) shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

                  "The shares represented by this Certificate and any shares of
                  Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any such shares have
                  not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may
                  not be transferred in the absence of such registration or an
                  exemption therefrom under such Act. Such shares and any such
                  shares of Common Stock may be transferred only in compliance
                  with the conditions specified in the Preferred Stock Purchase
                  Agreement dated August 2, 2000 between NationsRent, Inc. (the
                  "Company") and the purchasers identified therein. A complete
                  and correct copy of such Agreement is available for inspection
                  at the principal office of the Company and will be furnished
                  without charge to the holder of such shares upon written
                  request."

Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 8, each certificate for Common
Stock issued upon the conversion of any of the Stock, and each certificate
issued upon the transfer of any such Common Stock, shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be
                  transferred in the absence of such registration or an
                  exemption therefrom under such Act. Such shares may be
                  transferred only in compliance with the conditions specified
                  in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 2, 2000
                  between NationsRent, Inc. (the "Company") and the purchasers
                  identified therein. A complete and correct copy of such

                                       17

                  Agreement is available for inspection at the principal office
                  of the Company and will be furnished without charge to the
                  holder of such shares upon written request."

                  8.4 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER; OPINIONS OF COUNSEL. Prior to
any transfer of any Restricted Securities which are not registered under an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the holder thereof
will give written notice to the Company of such holder's intention to effect
such transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section 8.4. Each
such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer
and shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel for such holder, which counsel
and opinion shall each be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the
proposed transfer may be effected without registration of such shares of
Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. Such holder shall thereupon be
entitled to transfer such shares in accordance with the terms of the notice
delivered by such holder to the Company. Each certificate representing such
shares issued upon or in connection with such transfer shall bear the
restrictive legends required by Section 8.3, unless the related restrictions on
transfer shall have ceased and terminated as to such shares pursuant to Section
8.5 hereof.

                  8.5 TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions imposed by
this Section 8 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and
terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities when such restrictions are
no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act.
Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted
Securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company,
without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new certificates
for such securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by
Section 8.3 hereof.

         14.      INDEMNIFICATION.

                            (a) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold
         harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, partners, officers,
         employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person") from and against
         any and all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements and
         expenses (including interest and penalties recovered by a third party
         with respect thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and
         reasonable accountants' fees and expenses incurred in the investigation
         or defense of any of the same or in asserting, preserving or enforcing
         any of rights hereunder), that arise out of any breach by the Company
         of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in
         this Agreement or in the Registration Rights Agreement.

                            (b) The Purchasers shall give the Company prompt
         notice of any third-party claim that may give rise to any
         indemnification obligation under this Section 14 and the Company shall
         (except as set forth below) have the right to assume and control the
         defense (at its expense) and settlement of any such claim through the
         Company's own counsel or through other counsel reasonably acceptable to
         the Purchasers. The Purchasers may retain additional counsel at their
         own expense. If, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a
         conflict with respect to any significant issue between the Purchasers
         and the Company exists in respect of such third-party claim, the
         Company shall not assume the defense of such claim and shall also pay
         the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by Purchasers
         in respect of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
         Purchasers' consent, the Company will not settle any action or
         proceeding which does not provide the Purchasers a full, unconditional
         release from all liability with respect to such claim by each claimant
         or plaintiff in a form acceptable to the Purchasers' counsel, nor will
         the Company consent to any injunctive or other non-monetary relief
         affecting any Indemnified Person.

         15. CONTROL BY INVESTCORP, DB CAPITAL INVESTORS, L.P. AND J.P. MORGAN
CAPITAL CORPORATION. NR2 Holdings Limited covenants and agrees that Investcorp
or an Affiliate of Investcorp will control, directly or indirectly, a majority
of the voting and dispositive power (i) with respect to the Shares purchased by
NR2 Holdings Limited hereunder so long as any such Shares remain outstanding,
and (ii) with respect to the shares of Common Stock into which any of such
Shares have been converted which continue to be held by such Purchaser and its
Affiliates. DB Capital Investors, L.P. covenants and agrees that DB Capital
Investors, L.P. or an Affiliate of DB Capital Investors, L.P. will control,
directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Shares purchased by DB Capital Investors, L.P. hereunder so long
as any such Shares remain outstanding. J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation covenants
and agrees that J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation or an Affiliate of J.P. Morgan
Capital Corporation will control, directly or indirectly, a majority of the
voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares purchased by J.P. Morgan
Capital Corporation and Sixty Wall Street Fund, L.P. hereunder so long as any
such Shares remain outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of
this Section 15 shall not be violated by or as a result of the sale of
substantially all of the assets and business of Investcorp, DB Capital
Investors, L.P. or J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation, whether by merger, sale of
assets or otherwise.

         16. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated or, in the case of
termination by a Purchaser, the rights and obligations of such Purchaser under
this Agreement may be terminated, (a) by the mutual written consent of all of
the Purchasers and the Company at any time, (b) by any Purchaser or the Company
if the First Closing shall not have been consummated on or before August 14,
2000, (c) by any Purchaser or the Company if the Second Closing shall not have
been consummated on or before November 30, 2000, (d) by any Purchaser or the
Company if the stockholder meeting occurs and the stockholders do not vote to
approve the transactions contemplated hereby, (e) by any Purchaser on the one
hand or the Company on the other hand if any representation or warranty of the
other party contained herein proves not to have been true and correct in any
material respect when made, or (f) by any Purchaser on the one hand or the
Company on the other hand if the other party materially breaches any covenant
hereunder; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 16 shall not be available to any
party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
results in the failure to consummate the transactions by such time.

         17. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. The initial press release or releases
concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in the form agreed to
by the Company and the Purchasers. Prior to the First Closing, neither party
will issue any other press release or make any other public announcement
concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the
prior consent of the other, except that either party may make such public
disclosure as may be required by law or a court of competent jurisdiction (in
which event such party will notify the other party as long in advance as
practicable prior to making such disclosure and will, unless not practicable
under the circumstances, give the other party the opportunity to comment on the
language of the disclosure prior to making such disclosure) or by any national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.

         18. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided
that none of the Purchasers may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of
its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of the Company, except to another Purchaser or an Affiliate of
any of the Purchasers or of Investcorp. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Company and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof including without limitation the Commitment Letter, except (i) the
confidentiality letter agreement dated May 26, 1999 by and between Investcorp
and Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. shall not be superseded by this Agreement, is
affirmed by Investcorp and shall remain in full force and effect; (ii) the
confidentiality letter agreement dated July 31, 2000 between DB Capital
Investors, L.P. and the Company shall not be superseded by this Agreement, is
affirmed by DB Capital Investors, L.P. and shall remain in full force and
effect; and (iii) the confidentiality letter agreement dated May 2, 2000 between
J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation and the Company shall not be superseded by this
Agreement, is affirmed by J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation and shall remain in
full force and effect. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Delaware without regard
to the principles regarding conflicts of laws. The headings in this Agreement
are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument.

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of August 2, 2000 by and between NATIONSRENT, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("NationsRent"), NR2 HOLDINGS LIMITED, a Cayman Islands company, DB
CAPITAL INVESTORS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, J.P. MORGAN CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and SIXTY WALL STREET FUND, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (collectively, the "Holders"), and James L. Kirk and H.
Wayne Huizenga. Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in
Section 10 and throughout this Agreement.

         WHEREAS, NationsRent and the Holders have entered into a Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), pursuant to which NationsRent agrees to issue 100,000 shares of its
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred
Stock") to the Holders; and

         WHEREAS, the Preferred Stock is convertible into NationsRent common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), as provided in the Stock
Purchase Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, NationsRent has agreed to provide to the Holders the
registration rights provided herein with respect to the Registrable Securities;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein and in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the parties
agree as follows:

1.       DEMAND REGISTRATION.

                  (A) REGISTRATION ON REQUEST. At any time after the 90th day
following the First Closing (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), upon
written request by the Holders of at least a majority (by number of shares) of
the Registrable Securities, NationsRent shall utilize best reasonable efforts to
cause, as soon as practicable following the date of such notice, a registration
statement to be filed under the Securities Act or a pending registration
statement to be amended for the purpose of registering the Registrable
Securities for resale by the requesting Holders in accordance with the intended
method of disposition stated in such request; provided that NationsRent shall
not be required to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 1(a) on more
than three (3) separate occasions. Each request for a demand registration shall
specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be
registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.
NationsRent shall give all other Holders written notice of such written request
within ten (10) days thereof and give all other Holders the opportunity to
request that their Registrable Securities be included in the registration
statement filed with the SEC. No request for registration may be made pursuant
to this Section 1(a) unless the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered on behalf of requesting Holders total at least 25% of the aggregate
number of Registrable Securities acquired by the Holders in the First Closing
and the Second Closing (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) or have a
market value (based upon the closing price of

<PAGE>   2

such Registrable Securities quoted on the securities exchange or
over-the-counter quotation system on which such Registrable Securities are
listed or quoted, as the case may be, on the trading day immediately preceding
any request pursuant to this Section 1(a)) of at least $25 million at the close
of the last trading day prior to such request.

                  (B) REGISTRATION STATEMENT FORM. Registrations under Section
1(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC as shall permit
the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method or methods of disposition specified in the request for such registration
and as shall be permitted under the Securities Act.

                  (C) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. A registration requested
pursuant to Section 1(a) shall be deemed to have been effected if a registration
statement with respect thereto has become effective, provided that a
registration statement which does not become effective after NationsRent has
filed a registration statement with respect thereto solely by reason of the
refusal by the Holders to proceed (other than a refusal to proceed based upon
the written advice of counsel relating to a material matter regarding the
Company) shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company at the request of
such Holders, unless (i) after it has become effective, such registration
statement becomes subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any
reason, other than by reason of an act or omission attributable to such Holders
with respect thereto; provided that upon the lifting of any such order
registration will be deemed to be effective, or (ii) unless the conditions to
closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with such registration are not satisfied, other than by
reason of an act or omission attributable to such Holders.

                  (D)      SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS.

                           (i) If a requested registration pursuant to Section
         1(a) involves an underwritten public offering, the managing or lead
         underwriter shall be selected by NationsRent and shall be reasonably
         acceptable to the Holders of a majority (by number of shares) of the
         Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested and
         a majority (by number of shares) of the Series A Registrable Securities
         as to which registration is requested pursuant to the piggyback rights
         contained in Section 2(a) of the Series A Registration Rights
         Agreement, which shall not unreasonably withhold their acceptance of
         any such underwriters, and one co-managing or co-lead underwriter shall
         be selected by the Holders of a majority (by number of shares) of the
         Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested and
         a majority (by number of shares) of the Series A Registrable Securities
         as to which registration has been requested and shall be reasonably
         acceptable to NationsRent, which shall not unreasonably withhold its
         acceptance of any such co-managing or co-lead underwriter. If a
         majority of the Registrable Securities and a majority of the Series A
         Registrable Securities are unable to agree on the selection of a
         co-lead or co-managing underwriter, then the selection shall be made
         by NationsRent.

                                      - 2 -

<PAGE>   3

                           (ii) If a requested registration pursuant to the
         demand rights contained in Section 1(a) of the Series A Registration
         Rights Agreement involves an underwritten public offering, the managing
         or lead underwriter shall be selected by NationsRent and shall be
         reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority (by number of
         shares) of the Series A Registrable Securities as to which registration
         has been requested and a majority (by number of shares) of the
         Registrable Securities as to which registration is requested pursuant
         to the piggyback rights contained in Section 2(a) of this Agreement,
         which shall not unreasonably withhold their acceptance of any such
         underwriters, and one co-managing or co-lead underwriter shall be
         selected by the Holders of a majority (by number of shares) of the
         Series A Registrable Securities as to which registration has been
         requested and a majority (by number of shares) of the Registrable
         Securities as to which registration has been requested and shall be
         reasonably acceptable to NationsRent, which shall not unreasonably
         withhold its acceptance of any such co-managing or co-lead underwriter.
         If a majority of the Series A Registrable Securities and a majority of
         the Registrable Securities are unable to agree on the selection of a
         co-lead or co-managing underwriter, then the selection shall be made by
         NationsRent.

                  (E)      PRIORITY ON DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.

                           (i) If a requested registration pursuant to Section
         1(a) involves an underwritten public offering and the managing or lead
         underwriter advises NationsRent in writing, with a copy to each Holder
         requesting registration, that in its opinion the number of securities
         requested to be included in such registration (including securities to
         be sold by NationsRent or by other persons who are not Holders of
         Registrable Securities) exceeds the number of securities which can be
         sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range
         acceptable to the Holders of a majority (by number of shares) of the
         Registrable Securities that are requested to be included in such
         registration and the holders of a majority (by number of shares) of the
         Series A Registrable Securities that are requested to be included in
         such registration, if any, pursuant to the piggyback rights contained
         in Section 2(a) of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, without
         adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, NationsRent
         shall include in such registration prior to the inclusion of any other
         securities the number of Registrable Securities that are requested to
         be included, and the number of Series A Registrable Securities that are
         requested to be included pursuant to the piggyback rights contained in
         Section 2(a) of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, which in
         the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner
         within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective
         holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities or
         Series A Registrable Securities requested by each such holder to be
         included in such offering.

                           (ii) If a requested registration pursuant to Section
         1(a) of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement involves an
         underwritten public offering and the managing or lead underwriter
         advises NationsRent in writing, with a copy (at the address set forth
         in the Series A Registration Rights Agreement) to each holder of Series
         A Registrable

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

         Securities requesting registration, that in its opinion the number of
         securities requested to be included in such registration (including
         securities to be sold by NationsRent or by other persons who are not
         holders of Series A Registrable Securities) exceeds the number of
         securities which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering
         within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority (by number
         of shares) of the Series A Registrable Securities that are requested to
         be included in such registration and the Holders of a majority (by
         number of shares) of the Registrable Securities that are requested to
         be included in such registration, if any, pursuant to the piggyback
         rights contained in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, without adversely
         affecting the marketability of the offering, NationsRent shall include
         in such registration prior to the inclusion of any other securities the
         number of Series A Registrable Securities that are requested to be
         included and the number of Registrable Securities that are requested to
         be included pursuant to the piggyback rights contained in Section 2(a)
         of this Agreement, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be
         sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro
         rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of
         Series A Registrable Securities or Registrable Securities requested by
         each such holder to be included in such offering.

                  (F) RESTRICTIONS ON DEMAND REGISTRATION. NationsRent shall not
be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to Section 1(a) during any of
the following periods: (i) 30 days prior to the anticipated commencement of an
underwritten public offering by NationsRent of its equity securities and 90 days
subsequent to the consummation of such underwritten public offering unless, in
the good faith judgment of the managing or lead underwriter or underwriters
thereof, which is confirmed in writing, such filing would not have an adverse
effect on such offering, (ii) if such filing is prohibited by applicable law or
(iii) if NationsRent determines in good faith that the filing or effectiveness
of such registration statement would require NationsRent to disclose a material
financing, acquisition or other corporate transaction or development, and the
proper officers of NationsRent shall have determined in good faith that such
disclosure is not in the best interests of NationsRent, provided that
NationsRent may not delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration
statement pursuant to this Section 1(f) for more than an aggregate of 180 days
in any twelve-month period; provided, further, that NationsRent shall file the
registration statement and cause it to become effective as soon as reasonably
practicable after it shall determine in its good faith judgment that such
registration will not materially interfere with or materially adversely affect
the financing, acquisition or other corporate transaction or development.

2.       PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.

                  (A) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. The Holders of the Registrable
Securities are hereby granted the following piggyback registration rights with
respect to the Registrable Securities. Whenever NationsRent proposes to file a
registration statement, other than pursuant to Section 1(a) above, for the
registration of shares of its Common Stock in connection with an underwritten
primary public offering on behalf of NationsRent or an underwritten secondary
public offering on behalf of other persons who are not the Holders of
Registrable Securities, NationsRent will, prior to such filing, give fifteen
(15) days prior written notice to the Holders of its intention to do so and,

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

upon the written request of any of the Holders given within ten (10) days after
receipt of such notice, NationsRent shall, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
which NationsRent has been requested to register by such Holders to be
registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their
sale. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register
any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement
filed in connection with such registration, NationsRent shall determine for any
reason (other than by reason of acts or omissions attributable to any of the
Holders) either not to register or to delay registration of such securities,
NationsRent may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to
each Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register,
shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in
connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the
Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to
the rights of any Holders entitled to do so to request that such registration be
effected as a registration under Section 1(a), and (ii) in the case of a
determination to delay registration, shall be permitted to delay registering any
Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such
other securities. No registration effected under this Section 2(a) shall relieve
NationsRent of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under
Section 1(a), nor shall any such registration hereunder be deemed to have been
effected pursuant to Section 1(a).

                  (B)      PRIORITY IN PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

                           (i) In a requested registration pursuant to Section
         2(a), if the managing or lead underwriters advise NationsRent in
         writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be
         included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in
         an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to
         NationsRent or the other persons who are not Holders of Registrable
         Securities who requested the filing of a registration statement as
         contemplated by Section 2(a) above, NationsRent shall include in such
         registration (i) first, if the registration was initiated by
         NationsRent, the securities NationsRent proposes to sell, and (ii)
         second, the Registrable Securities and securities held by other persons
         who are not Holders of Registrable Securities requested to be included
         in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of Registrable
         Securities and the other persons who are not Holders of Registered
         Securities on the basis of the number of shares requested by each such
         Holder of Registrable Securities and each other person who is not a
         Holder of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the registration was requested by
         holders of Series A Registrable Securities pursuant to their demand
         registration rights under Section 1(a) of the Series A Registration
         Rights Agreement, then the priority shall be as set forth in Section
         1(e)(ii) of this Agreement.

                           (ii) In a requested registration pursuant to Section
         2(a) of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, if the managing or
         lead underwriters advise NationsRent in writing that in their opinion
         the number of securities requested to be included in such registration
         exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such
         offering within a price range acceptable to NationsRent or the other
         persons who are not holders of

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

         Series A Registrable Securities who requested the filing of a
         registration statement as contemplated by Section 2(a) of the Series A
         Registration Rights Agreement, NationsRent shall include in such
         registration (i) first, if the registration was initiated by
         NationsRent, the securities NationsRent proposes to sell, and (ii)
         second, the Series A Registrable Securities and securities held by
         other persons who are not holders of Series A Registrable Securities
         requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the
         holders of Series A Registrable Securities and the other persons who
         are not holders of Series A Registered Securities on the basis of the
         number of shares requested by each such holder of Series A Registrable
         Securities and each other person who is not a holder of Series A
         Registrable Securities to be included in such offering. Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, if the registration was requested by holders of
         Registrable Securities pursuant to their demand registration rights
         under Section 1(a) of this Agreement, then the priority shall be as set
         forth in Section 1(e)(i) of this Agreement.

3.       HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS.

                  (A) So long as a Holder and its affiliates own Common Stock
and/or Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock exceeding 5% of the Common
Stock of NationsRent then outstanding or such Holder has the right to designate
one or more directors to the board of directors of NationsRent (unless otherwise
required by the underwriters), such Holder of Registrable Securities shall not
effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of
equity securities of NationsRent, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) days prior
to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten
registration (except as part of such underwritten registration), unless the
underwriters managing the registered public offering agree to a shorter
restricted period for Messrs. Kirk or Huizenga in which case such shorter period
shall apply to such Holder.

                  (B) NationsRent (i) shall not effect any public sale or
distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) days prior
to and during the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any
underwritten demand registration or any underwritten piggyback registration
(except as part of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters
managing the registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) shall use best
reasonable efforts to cause each holder of at least 5% (on a fully-diluted
basis) of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for Common Stock, purchased or acquired from NationsRent at any
time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public
offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including
sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities during such period (except as
part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted), unless the
underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.

4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Whenever the Holders of Registrable Securities have
requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this
Agreement, NationsRent shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect the
registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7

accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto
NationsRent shall as expeditiously as possible:

                  (A) prepare and as soon as reasonably practicable file with
the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and
use its best reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
and remain effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or
prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, NationsRent shall furnish
to the counsel selected by the Holders of at least a majority (by number of
shares) of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be
subject to the review and comment of such counsel);

                  (B) notify each seller of Registrable Securities of the
effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and
file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement
and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
registration statement effective for a period of not less than 180 days and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set
forth in such registration statement;

                  (C) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such
number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement
thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;

                  (D) use its best reasonable efforts to register or qualify
such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts
and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller
to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller
in such jurisdictions (provided that NationsRent shall not be required to (i)
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction);

                  (E) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, and, at the request of any such
seller, NationsRent shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8

or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made;

                  (F) use its best reasonable efforts to cause all such
Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which
securities of the same class are then listed;

                  (G) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such
Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration
statement;

                  (H) enter into such customary agreements (including
underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions
(including, without limitation, causing the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief
Financial Officer or an Executive Vice President reasonably acceptable to the
Holders to participate in any "road show" or "road shows") as the sellers of at
least a majority (by number of shares) of the Registrable Securities being sold
or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

                  (I) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of NationsRent, and cause NationsRent's
officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

                  (J) otherwise use its best reasonable efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its
stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering
the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of
NationsRent's first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the
registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

                  (K) if and to the extent that any seller of Registrable
Securities, in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an
underwriter or a controlling person of NationsRent, permit such seller to
participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and
require the insertion therein of material, furnished to NationsRent in writing,
which in the reasonable judgment of such seller and its counsel should be
included;

                  (L) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any
jurisdiction, use its best reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal
of such order;

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9

                  (M) use its best reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or
approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary
to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities; and

                  (N) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities a cold
comfort letter from NationsRent's independent public accountants in customary
form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort
letters as the sellers of at least a majority (by number of shares) of the
Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to such Holder.

                  NationsRent will not file any registration statement or
amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such
documents incorporated by reference and proposed to be filed after the initial
filing of the registration statement) to which the Holders of at least a
majority (by number of shares) of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, shall
reasonably object, provided that NationsRent may file such document in a form
required by law upon the advice of its counsel.

5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. NationsRent will pay or cause to be paid all
Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with any registration of
Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Agreement. "Registration
Expenses" means all expenses incident to NationsRent's performance of or
compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation, all registration
and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky
laws, listing expenses, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees
and disbursements of custodians, fees and disbursements of counsel for
NationsRent and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters
(excluding discounts and commissions) and other persons retained by NationsRent
and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Holders
of at least a majority (by number of shares) of the Registrable Securities
included in such registration. Registration Expenses shall not include any taxes
payable in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities.

6.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (A) INDEMNIFICATION BY NATIONSRENT. NationsRent agrees to
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable
Securities, its officers, directors, partners, members, affiliates and each
person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or
based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and, except as otherwise provided herein, NationsRent
will reimburse such Holder, officer, director, partner, member, affiliate and
controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending against any such

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   10

loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, except insofar as the same arise from
or are based upon any information made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information provided to NationsRent by such Holder expressly for use
therein or by such Holder's failure to deliver a copy of the final prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto after NationsRent has furnished such
Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an
underwritten offering, NationsRent shall indemnify such underwriters, their
officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities.

                  (B) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE HOLDERS. In connection with any
registration statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is
participating, each such Holder shall furnish to NationsRent in writing such
information and affidavits as NationsRent reasonably requests for use in
connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent
permitted by law, shall indemnify NationsRent, its directors and officers and
each person who controls NationsRent (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or
based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to NationsRent by such Holder specifically stating that it is for use
in the preparation of such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the obligation to indemnify
shall be individual, not joint and several, for each Holder and shall be limited
to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. In connection
with an underwritten offering, the selling Holders of Registrable Securities
shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each person
who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the
same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of
NationsRent.

                  (C) NOTICE OF CLAIMS. Any person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any
claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure
to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's right to indemnification
hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party)
and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of
interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with
respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of
such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
provided, however, that any indemnified party may, at its own expense, retain
separate counsel to participate in such defense. If such defense is assumed, the
indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff to such

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   11

indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation or which requires action other than the payment of money by the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not
to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

                  (D) SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION. The indemnification provided
for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer,
director, partner, member, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified
party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

                  (E) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense referred to herein, then each indemnifying party,
in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by NationsRent on the one hand and the Holder or
other person, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the
Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of NationsRent on the one hand and of the Holder or other person,
as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by
NationsRent on the one hand and the Holder or other person, as the case may be,
on the other in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received
by NationsRent from the initial sale of the Registrable Securities by
NationsRent to the Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement bear to the
gain, if any, realized by the selling Holder or the underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the underwriter, as the case may be. The relative fault
of NationsRent on the one hand and of the Holder or other person, as the case
may be, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by NationsRent, by the
Holder or by the other person and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission, provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to
the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to
such indemnified party by reason of the provisions contained in the first
sentence of Section 6(a), and in no event shall the obligation of any
indemnifying party to contribute under this Section 6(e) exceed the amount that
such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of
indemnification if the indemnification provided for under this Section 6 had
been available under the circumstances.

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   12

         The Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(e)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders and any underwriters
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence and
Section 6(c), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(e), no Holder of
Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such Holder, the net
proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities or (ii)
in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable
Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such Holder or
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

7. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Holder may participate in any
registration hereunder which involves an underwritten offering unless such
Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder's securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the parties entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no Holder of
Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be
required to make any representations or warranties to NationsRent or the
underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such Holder
and such Holder's intended method of distribution) or to undertake any
indemnification obligations to NationsRent or the underwriters with respect
thereto, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 6 hereof.

8. OTHER AGREEMENTS. NationsRent shall not enter into any agreement or
instrument which would conflict with or result in a material breach or violation
of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. In addition, NationsRent
shall not enter into any agreement or instrument with any person which grants
such person demand registration rights similar to those in Section 1(a) which
preclude the Holders of Registrable Securities from exercising their rights
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof in connection with any registration statement
filed pursuant to which such person will sell securities of NationsRent.

                  (a)      CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

         Common Stock beneficially owned by H. Wayne Huizenga as of the date
         hereof, and any of such shares which are subsequently transferred to a
         Huizenga Transferee (such persons, the "Huizenga Stockholders").

                           (ii) The term "Huizenga Transferee" means (i) any
         member of Mr. Huizenga's immediate family, or (ii) any trust, limited
         partnership or similar entity controlled by H. Wayne Huizenga or any
         members of Mr. Huizenga's immediate family, or with respect to which he
         has or they have a beneficial interest.

                           (iii) The term "Kirk Shares" means all shares of
         Common Stock beneficially owned by James L. Kirk or Kirk Holdings
         Limited Partnership as of the date hereof, and any such shares which

         of Mr. Kirk's immediate family, or (ii) any trust, limited partnership
         or similar entity controlled by James L. Kirk, Kirk Holdings Limited
         Partnership or any member of Mr. Kirk's immediate family, or with
         respect to which he has or they have a beneficial interest.

                           (v) The term "Tag-Along Sale" means any transaction
         or series of transactions occurring at substantially the same time
         (other than underwritten offerings, transfers for tax or estate
         planning purposes or any pledge as security in a bona fide loan
         transaction and any related foreclosure or margin sales) which involves
         the sale by any Huizenga Stockholder or Kirk Stockholder, or both, of
         shares of Common Stock, representing 2% or more of the outstanding
         shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis for all
         outstanding options, warrants and other securities convertible into or
         exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to
         the Registrable Securities and the Series A Registrable Securities.

                  (b) TAG-ALONG RIGHT. Prior to the fifth anniversary of the
Second Closing, in connection with any proposed Tag-Along Sale, the Huizenga
Stockholders and the Kirk Stockholders participating in such sale shall afford
the Holders and the Series A Holders (pro rata among such Holders and Series A
Holders based on the numbers of Registrable Securities or Series A Registrable
Securities held by them) the opportunity to participate in such sale, on the
same terms and conditions as such Huizenga Stockholders and Kirk Stockholders,
with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number derived
by multiplying the total number of shares

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>   14

proposed to be sold in the Tag-Along Sale by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the total number of shares of Common Stock then held by the Holders and the
Series A Holders (including shares issuable upon the conversion of shares of
Preferred Stock) and the denominator of which is the sum of (i) the total number
of shares of Common Stock then held by the Holders and the Series A Holders
(including shares issuable upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock),
(ii) the total number of Huizenga Shares then held by the Huizenga Stockholders
if any Huizenga Stockholder is participating in such sale and (iii) the total
number of Kirk Shares then held by the Kirk Stockholders if any Kirk Stockholder
is participating in such sale.

                  (c) NOTICES. The Huizenga Stockholders or the Kirk
Stockholders participating in any Tag-Along Sale shall, at least five (5) days
prior to the Tag-Along Sale, give written notice to the Holders in accordance
with Section 11(a) of this Agreement and to the Series A Holders in accordance
with Section 11(a) of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement providing a
summary of the terms of the proposed sale and the number of Huizenga Shares and
Kirk Shares proposed to be sold in such Tag-Along Sale. Each Holder or Series A
Holder may exercise its right to participate in such Tag-Along Sale by providing
written notice to any of the Huizenga Stockholders or Kirk Stockholders
participating in such Tag-Along Sale, stating the number of shares of Common
Stock that the Holder or Series A Holder wishes to sell in the Tag-Along Sale.
If no Tag-Along Notice is received by the Huizenga Stockholders or the Kirk
Stockholders in the five (5) day period prior to the proposed sale, the Huizenga
Stockholders and the Kirk Stockholders shall have the right for a 30-day period
to sell up to the proposed number of shares on terms and conditions no more
favorable in any material respect than those stated in the notice provided to
the Holders and the Series A Holders pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 9(c) (provided that, in connection with any proposed Tag-Along Sale
intended to be substantially at market price, the sales price can be
substantially at market).

                  (d) CERTAIN TRANSFERS. No transfer of Huizenga Shares to a
Huizenga Transferee and no transfer of Kirk Shares to a Kirk Transferee will be
made unless the Huizenga Transferee or the Kirk Transferee, as the case may be,
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9; provided that shares of
Common Stock which are sold by either Mr. Huizenga or Mr. Kirk to any Huizenga
Transferee or Kirk Transferee, respectively, in a bona fide sale transaction at
fair market value shall not be deemed to be held by the respective transferee
for purposes of any Tag-Along Sale.
