<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of
this report. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to
these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of
this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><DIV align="justify"><B>Our Business</B>
</DIV></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">We are the largest operator in the United States rent-to-own industry with an approximate 37%
market share based on store count. At September&nbsp;30, 2008, we operated 3,045 company-owned stores
nationwide and in Canada and Puerto Rico, including 26 retail installment sales stores under the
names &#147;Get It Now&#148; and &#147;Home Choice&#148; and eight rent-to-own stores located in Canada under the name
&#147;Rent-A-Centre.&#148; Our subsidiary, ColorTyme, is a national franchisor of rent-to-own stores. At
September&nbsp;30, 2008, ColorTyme had 225 franchised rent-to-own stores in 34 states.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Our stores generally offer high quality durable products such as major consumer electronics,
appliances, computers, and furniture and accessories under flexible rental purchase agreements that
generally allow the customer to obtain ownership of the merchandise at the conclusion of an
agreed-upon rental period. These rental purchase agreements are designed to appeal to a wide
variety of customers by allowing them to obtain merchandise that they might otherwise be unable to
obtain due to insufficient cash resources or a lack of access to credit. These agreements also
cater to customers who only have a temporary need, or who simply desire to rent, rather than
purchase, the merchandise. Rental payments are made generally on a weekly basis and, together with
applicable fees, constitute our primary revenue source.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Our expenses primarily relate to merchandise costs and the operations of our stores, including
salaries and benefits for our employees; occupancy expense for our leased real estate; advertising
expenses; lost, damaged, or stolen merchandise; fixed asset depreciation; and corporate and other
expenses.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">We have pursued an aggressive growth strategy since 1993. We have sought to acquire underperforming
rent-to-own stores to which we could apply our operating model as well as open new stores. As a
result, the acquired stores have generally experienced more significant revenue growth during the
initial periods following their acquisition than in subsequent periods. Typically, a newly opened
rent-to-own store is profitable on a monthly basis in the ninth to twelfth month after its initial
opening. Historically, a typical store has achieved cumulative break-even profitability in 18 to 24
months after its initial opening. Total financing requirements of a typical new store approximate
$500,000, with roughly 75% of that amount relating to the purchase of rental merchandise inventory.
A newly opened store historically has achieved results consistent with other stores that have been
operating within the system for greater than two years by the end of its third year of operation.
As a result, our quarterly earnings are impacted by how many new stores we opened during a
particular quarter and the quarters preceding it. Because of significant growth since our
formation, our historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons of such results
and other financial data, including the rate of earnings growth, may not be meaningful or
indicative of future results.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">In addition, we strategically open or acquire stores near market areas served by existing stores
(&#147;cannibalize&#148;) to enhance service levels, gain incremental sales and increase market penetration.
This planned cannibalization may negatively impact our same store revenue and cause us to grow at a
slower rate. There can be no assurance that we will open any new rent-to-own stores in the future,
or as to the number, location or profitability thereof.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">We also offer financial services products, such as short term secured and unsecured loans, debit
cards, check cashing and money transfer services, in some of our existing rent-to-own stores under
the trade names &#147;Cash AdvantEdge&#148; and &#147;RAC Financial Services.&#148; As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, we
offered some or all of these financial services products in 350 Rent-A-Center store locations in 17
states. We intend to focus our resources on improving the operations in these existing financial
services store locations and do not plan to add significantly to the number of Rent-A-Center store
locations offering financial services at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful in our efforts to improve and expand our financial services operations or that such
operations, should they be added, will prove to be profitable.

</DIV></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Store Growth. </I>As of October&nbsp;30, 2008, we have acquired accounts from three locations, opened four
new stores and consolidated one store into an existing location during the fourth quarter of 2008.
Additionally, as of October&nbsp;30, 2008, we have added financial services to seven additional

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><DIV align="justify"><B>Critical Accounting Policies Involving Critical Estimates, Uncertainties or Assessments in Our
Financial Statements</B>
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent losses and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In applying accounting principles, we must often
make individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. Our
estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and
experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual
results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following are areas where the degree of
judgment and complexity in determining amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements
make the accounting policies critical.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Self-Insurance Liabilities</I>. We have self-insured retentions with respect to losses under our
workers&#146; compensation, general liability and auto liability insurance policies. We establish
reserves for our liabilities associated with these losses by obtaining forecasts for the ultimate
expected losses and estimating amounts needed to pay losses within our self-insured retentions.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Our loss exposure has increased, primarily as a result of our growth. We continually institute
procedures to manage our loss exposure and increases in health care costs associated with our
insurance claims through a greater focus on the risk management function, a transitional duty
program for injured workers, ongoing safety and accident prevention training, and various programs
designed to minimize losses and improve our loss experience in our store locations. We make
assumptions on our liabilities within our self-insured retentions using actuarial loss forecasts,
company specific development factors, general industry loss development factors, and third party
claim administrator loss estimates which are based on known facts surrounding individual claims.
These assumptions incorporate expected increases in health care costs. Periodically, we reevaluate
our estimate of liability within our self-insured retentions. At that time, we evaluate the
adequacy of our accruals by comparing amounts accrued on our balance sheet for anticipated losses
to our updated actuarial loss forecasts and third party claim administrator loss estimates, and
make adjustments to our accruals as needed.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the amount accrued for losses within our self-insured retentions with
respect to workers&#146; compensation, general liability and auto liability insurance was $117.2
million, as compared to $109.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and $104.9&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30,
2007. If any of the factors that contribute to the overall cost of insurance claims were to change,
the actual amount incurred for our self-insurance liability would be directly affected. While we
believe our loss prevention programs will reduce our total cost for self-insurance claims, our
actual cost could be greater than the amounts currently accrued.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Litigation Reserves</I>. We are the subject of litigation in the ordinary course of our business.
Historically, our litigation has involved lawsuits alleging various regulatory violations. In
preparing our financial statements at a given point in time, we account for loss contingencies
pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;5 and FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;14, <I>Reasonable Estimation of
the Amount of a Loss &#151; An Interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;5 </I>(&#147;FIN 14&#148;), which require that we
accrue for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Each quarter, we make estimates of our probable losses, if reasonably estimable, and record such
amounts in our consolidated financial statements. These amounts represent our best estimate, or may
be the minimum range of probable loss when no single best estimate is determinable. We, together
with our counsel, monitor developments related to these legal matters and, when appropriate,
adjustments are made to reflect current facts and circumstances. We expense legal fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of all of our litigation at the time such amounts
are invoiced or otherwise made known to us.

share-based payment awards to our employees and directors at the estimated fair value on the grant
date. Determining the fair value of any share-based awards requires information about several
variables including, but not limited to, expected stock volatility over the terms of the awards,
expected dividend yields and the predicted employee exercise behavior. We base expected life on
historical exercise and post-vesting employment-termination experience, and expected volatility on
historical realized volatility trends. In addition, all stock-based compensation expense is
recorded net of an estimated forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate is based upon historical activity
and is analyzed at least quarterly as actual forfeitures occur. Stock options granted during the
nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 were valued using the binomial method pricing model with the
following assumptions for employee options: expected volatility of 33.90% to 53.58%, a risk-free
interest rate of 1.62% to 3.17%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 4.44&nbsp;years. For
non-employee director options, the stock options granted during the nine months ended September&nbsp;30,
2008 were valued using the binomial method pricing model with the following assumptions: expected
volatility of 41.30%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.54%, no dividend yield, and an expected life

for weekly, semi-monthly or monthly rental terms with non-refundable rental payments. Generally,
the customer has the right to acquire title either through a purchase option or through payment of
all required rentals. Rental revenue and fees are recognized over the rental term and merchandise
sales revenue is recognized when the customer exercises the purchase option and pays the cash price
due. Cash received prior to the period in which it should be recognized is deferred and recognized
according to the rental term. Revenue is accrued for uncollected amounts due based on historical
collection experience. However, the total amount of the rental purchase agreement is not accrued
because the customer can terminate the rental agreement at any time and we cannot enforce
collection for non-payment of future rents.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Revenue with respect to retail installment sales is recognized at the time of such retail sale, as

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">The revenue from our financial services is recorded depending on the type of transaction. Fees

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Franchise Revenue. </I>Revenue from the sale of rental merchandise is recognized upon shipment of the

all services and satisfaction of all material conditions required under the terms of the franchise
agreement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Depreciation of Rental Merchandise</I>. Depreciation of rental merchandise is included in the cost of
rentals and fees on our statement of earnings. We depreciate our rental merchandise using the
income forecasting method. Under the income forecasting method, merchandise held for rent is not
depreciated and merchandise on rent is depreciated in the proportion of rents received to total

million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 from $270.3&nbsp;million in 2007. This increase is
attributable to an increase in deferred taxes as a result of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 as

</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Cash used in investing activities decreased by $47.7&nbsp;million to $43.7&nbsp;million for the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 from $91.5&nbsp;million in 2007. This decrease is attributable to the
completion of construction of our new corporate headquarters building in 2007 and a reduction in
acquisitions of businesses in 2008 as compared to 2007.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Cash used in financing activities increased by $98.4&nbsp;million to $269.3&nbsp;million for the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 from $170.9&nbsp;million used in 2007. This increase in 2008 as compared to
2007 is primarily related to a reduction in our outstanding debt and subordinated notes, offset by
a reduction in the purchase of treasury shares.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Liquidity Requirements. </I>Our primary liquidity requirements are for debt service, rental
merchandise purchases, capital expenditures, litigation expenses, including settlements or
judgments, and implementation of our growth strategies, including investment in our financial
services business. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations and
borrowings. In the future, to provide any additional funds necessary for the continued pursuit of
our operating and growth strategies, we may incur from time to time additional short-term or
long-term bank indebtedness and may issue, in public or private transactions, equity and debt
securities. The availability and attractiveness of any outside sources of financing will depend on
a number of factors, some of which relate to our financial condition and performance, and some of
which are beyond our control, such as prevailing interest rates and general financing and economic
conditions. The global financial markets have recently experienced adverse conditions and
continued volatility in the capital markets may affect our ability to access additional sources of
financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, or if available,
that it will be on terms we find acceptable.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">We believe the cash flow generated from operations, together with amounts available under our
senior credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements as discussed above
during the next twelve months. Our revolving credit facilities, including our $20.0&nbsp;million line of
credit at Intrust Bank, provide us with revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not
exceeding $420.0&nbsp;million, of which $288.7&nbsp;million was available at October&nbsp;30, 2008. At October&nbsp;30,
2008, we had $107.2&nbsp;million in cash. To the extent we have available cash that is not necessary to
fund the items listed above, we intend to make additional payments to service our existing debt,
and may repurchase additional shares of our common stock or repurchase some of our outstanding
subordinated notes. While our operating cash flow has been strong and we expect this strength to
continue, our liquidity could be negatively impacted if we do not remain as profitable as we
expect.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">A change in control would result in an event of default under our senior credit facilities, which
would allow our lenders to accelerate the indebtedness owed to them. In addition, if a change in
control occurs, we may be required to offer to repurchase all of our outstanding subordinated notes
at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. Our senior
credit facilities restrict our ability to repurchase the subordinated notes, including in the event
of a change in control. In the event a change in control occurs, we cannot be sure we would have
enough funds to immediately pay our accelerated senior credit facility obligations and all of the
subordinated notes, or that we would be able to obtain financing to do so on favorable terms, if at
all.

Los Angeles, California has now received final approval from the court. Under the terms of the

plaintiffs&#146; attorneys&#146; fees, to be distributed to an agreed-upon class of our employees from May
1998 through March&nbsp;31, 2008. We are entitled to any settlement fund monies not distributed under

settlement, which has now been documented and approved by the court, we will create a restitution

2008, we had accrued $9.1&nbsp;million relating to this settlement.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">We believe that the cash flow generated from operations, together with amounts available under our
senior credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund the <I>Shafer/Johnson </I>and California Attorney
General matters without adversely affecting our liquidity in a material way. Additional
settlements or judgments against us on our existing litigation could affect our liquidity. Please
refer to &#147;Legal Proceedings&#148; later in this report.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Deferred Taxes. </I>On February&nbsp;13, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Economic Stimulus Act of
2008 (the &#147;Stimulus Act&#148;). The Stimulus Act provides for accelerated depreciation by allowing a
bonus first-year depreciation deduction of 50% of the adjusted basis of qualified property placed
in service during 2008. Accordingly, our cash flow will benefit in 2008 from having a lower current
cash tax obligation which, in turn, will provide additional cash flow from operations. We estimate
that our 2008 operating cash flow may increase by approximately $60.0&nbsp;million to $70.0&nbsp;million and
that the associated deferral will begin to reverse over a three year period beginning in 2009, of
which approximately 75% will reverse in 2009, 20% will reverse in 2010 and the remainder will
reverse in 2011.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Rental Merchandise Purchases</I>. We purchased $541.6&nbsp;million and $536.1&nbsp;million of rental merchandise
during the nine month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Capital Expenditures</I>. We make capital expenditures in order to maintain our existing operations as
well as for new capital assets in new and acquired stores. We spent $41.2&nbsp;million and $76.1&nbsp;million
on capital expenditures during the nine month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and expect to spend approximately $13.8&nbsp;million for the remainder of 2008.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify"><I>Acquisitions and New Store Openings. </I>During the first nine months of 2008, we acquired accounts
from 24 locations, opened eight new stores, acquired two stores, consolidated 33 stores into
existing locations and sold 13 stores. The acquired stores and accounts were the result of 18
separate transactions with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.3&nbsp;million.
Additionally, during the first nine months of 2008, we added financial services to 82 existing
rent-to-own store locations, acquired accounts from one location, closed three stores and
consolidated five stores with financial services into an existing location, ending the third
quarter of 2008 with a total of 350 stores providing these services.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">As of October&nbsp;30, 2008, we have acquired accounts from three locations, opened four new stores and
consolidated one store into an existing location during the fourth quarter of 2008.
Additionally, as of October&nbsp;30, 2008, we have added financial services to seven additional existing
rent-to-own locations, closed one store and consolidated one store with financial services into an
existing location during the fourth quarter of 2008.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">The profitability of our stores tends to grow at a slower rate approximately five years from the
time we open or acquire them. As a result of the increasing maturity of our store base, in order
for us to show improvements in our profitability, it is important for us to increase revenue in our
existing stores. We intend to accomplish such revenue growth by offering new products and
services, such as our financial services products, in our existing rent-to-own stores, and by
acquiring customer accounts on favorable terms. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful in adding financial services products to our existing rent-to-own stores, or that such
operations will be as profitable as we expect, or at all. We also cannot assure you that we will
be able to acquire customer accounts on favorable terms, or at all, or that we will be able to
maintain the revenue from any such acquired customer accounts at the rates we expect, or at all.

related to federal income tax refunds. Generally, our customers will more frequently exercise their
early purchase option on their existing rental purchase agreements or purchase pre-leased
merchandise off the showroom floor during the first quarter of each fiscal year. We expect this
trend to continue in future periods. Furthermore, we tend to experience slower growth in the
number of rental purchase agreements on rent in the third quarter of each fiscal year when compared
to other quarters throughout the year. As a result, we would expect revenues for the third quarter
of each fiscal year to remain relatively flat with the prior quarter. We expect this trend to
continue in future periods unless we add significantly to our store base during the third quarter
of future fiscal years as a result of new store openings or opportunistic acquisitions.

exposes us to the risk of increased interest costs if interest rates rise. As of September&nbsp;30,
2008, we have not entered into any interest rate swap agreements. The credit markets have recently
experienced adverse conditions, including wide fluctuations in rates. Continuing volatility in the
credit markets may increase the costs associated with our existing long-term debt. Based on our
overall interest rate exposure at September&nbsp;30, 2008, a hypothetical 1.0% increase or decrease in
interest rates would have the effect of causing a $7.6&nbsp;million additional pre-tax charge or credit
to our statement of earnings.

settlement with the California Attorney General to resolve the inquiry received in the second
quarter of 2004 regarding our business practices in California with respect to cash prices and our
membership program. Under the terms of the settlement, which has now been documented and approved
by the court, we will create a restitution fund in the amount of approximately $9.1&nbsp;million in
cash, to be distributed to certain groups of customers. Restitution checks will contain a
restrictive endorsement releasing us from claims that arise from or relate to the cash price set
forth in the rental purchase agreement and the customer&#146;s purchase of the Preferred Customer Club.
We have reached an agreement with the Attorney General and the settlement administrator with
respect to the implementation procedures for the restitution program and expect to fund the
restitution account in the first quarter of 2009. We also agreed to a civil penalty in the amount
of $750,000, which was paid in the first quarter of 2007. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, we had accrued

matters pending in state court in Los Angeles, California has now received final approval from the

the terms of the settlement, we will pay an aggregate of $11.0&nbsp;million in cash, including
settlement costs and plaintiffs&#146; attorneys&#146; fees, to be distributed to an agreed-upon class of our
employees from May&nbsp;1998 through March&nbsp;31, 2008. We are entitled to any settlement fund monies not
distributed under the terms of the settlement. In connection with the settlement, we are not
admitting liability for our wage and hour practices in California. To account for the
aforementioned costs, we recorded a pre-tax expense of $11.0&nbsp;million during the fourth quarter of
2007. We expect to fund settlement costs and plaintiffs&#146; attorneys&#146; fees in the amount of
approximately $5.0&nbsp;million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and the balance of the settlement amount

</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Our continued growth depends on our ability to increase sales in our existing rent-to-own stores.
For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, our same store sales increased by 2.8% compared to
the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007. Our same store sales increased by 2.1% and 1.9% for all
of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and decreased by 2.3% for all of 2005. As a result of new store
openings in existing markets and because mature stores will represent an increasing proportion of
our store base over time, our same store revenues in future periods may be lower than historical
levels. If we are unable to increase revenue in our rent-to-own stores, our earnings may grow more
slowly or even decrease.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">A primary focus of our growth strategy is expansion into the financial services business. We face
risks associated with integrating this new business into our existing operations, including the
development of appropriate information technology and financial reporting systems. Further, a newly
opened financial services location generally does not attain positive cash flow during its first
year of operations. In addition, the financial services industry is highly competitive and
regulated by federal, state and local laws.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Our expansion into the financial services business could place a significant demand on our

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">As is the case with most businesses, we are subject to various governmental regulations, including
specifically in our case, regulations regarding rent-to-own transactions. Currently, 47 states, the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have passed laws regulating rental purchase transactions and
one additional state has a retail installment sales statute that excludes rent-to-own transactions
from its coverage if certain criteria are met. These laws generally require certain contractual and
advertising disclosures. They also provide varying levels of substantive consumer protection, such
as requiring a grace period for late fees and contract reinstatement rights in the event the rental
purchase agreement is terminated. The rental purchase laws of ten states limit the total amount of
rentals that may be charged over the life of a rental purchase agreement. Several states also
effectively regulate rental purchase transactions under other consumer protection statutes. We are
currently subject to litigation alleging that we have violated some of these statutory provisions.
</DIV></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><DIV align="justify">Although there is currently no comprehensive federal legislation regulating rental purchase
transactions, adverse federal legislation may be enacted in the future. From time to time,
legislation has been introduced in Congress seeking to regulate our business. In addition, various

existing legislation that could require us to alter our business practices.

corporate activities. Various transactions that we may view as important opportunities, such as

terminate their commitments to lend to us. If the lenders under these agreements accelerate the
repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient liquid assets at that time to repay the amounts
then outstanding under our indebtedness or be able to find additional alternative financing. Even
