<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Employee Benefits Committee<BR>
Aaron&#146;s, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan and Trust
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Aaron&#146;s, Inc.
Employees Retirement Plan and Trust (formerly Aaron Rents, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan and
Trust) as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with US
generally accepted accounting principles.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) as of December
31, 2009 and delinquent participant contributions for the year then ended, are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor&#146;s Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken
as a whole.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>1. Description of the Plan</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The following description of the Aaron&#146;s, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan and Trust, formerly Aaron
Rents, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan and Trust, (the Plan) is provided for general information
purposes only. More complete information regarding items such as vesting, benefit provisions, and
Plan termination may be found in the Summary Plan Description, which has been distributed to all
participants, and the Plan document, which is available to all participants upon request.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Aaron&#146;s, Inc., (the
Company). Any employee of the Company who attains 21&nbsp;years of age and has completed one year of
service (as defined in the Plan document) is eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(ERISA).
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Plan is administered by the Employee Benefits Committee (the Committee) appointed by the Board
of Directors of the Company. The duties of the Committee include interpretation of the Plan
document, determination of benefits due to participants, and authorization of disbursements from
the net assets available for benefits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Participation in the Plan is voluntary and participants may contribute up to ten percent of their
annual compensation in the form of a salary deferral, thereby deferring related income taxes
pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Participants may also contribute up
to an additional ten percent of their aggregate annual compensation paid by the Company during all
years they have been a participant in the Plan and any other qualified retirement plan adopted by
the Company; however, income taxes on this additional portion of the participant&#146;s compensation may
not be deferred. The Company matches 50% of the first 4% of compensation that a participant
contributes to the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Individual accounts are maintained for each participant. Participants direct their contributions
into various options offered by the Plan and can change their investment options on a daily basis.
Investment income earned by the Plan is allocated to participants&#146; accounts based upon relative
balances of the individual accounts as of the valuation date for which the allocation is being
made. At the discretion of the Company, forfeitures may reduce the matching contribution required
for the current Plan year or may be allocated to participants&#146; accounts pro rata based on
compensation. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, the Company elected to reduce its matching contribution by forfeitures of $51,439 and $122,820,
respectively. Unallocated forfeiture account balances totaled $689 and $3 for the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and earnings thereon. The Plan provides
for 20% vesting of Company&#146;s matching contributions after two years of service (as defined in the
Plan document) are completed with subsequent vesting at an additional 20% per service year until
the participant is fully vested.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">A participant&#146;s total account balance is payable either in a lump-sum distribution or by regular
periodic installments upon his or her retirement, death, or disability. Upon termination of
service, only the vested portion of the participant&#146;s account becomes payable. In the event of a
participant&#146;s death or permanent and total disability, his or her interest in the Plan will become
fully vested.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate
the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination (or permanent
discontinuance of contributions to the Plan), all amounts credited to the accounts of the
participants will become 100% vested. The Plan&#146;s assets will be distributable to the participants
in accordance with the respective values of their accounts.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Plan&#146;s investments are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds and Aaron&#146;s, Inc. common
stock investments are valued based on quoted market prices in an active market.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Plan invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts through a common collective trust
(SunTrust Retirement Stable Asset Fund B). The statements of net assets available for benefits
present the fair value of the Plan&#146;s interest in the SunTrust Retirement Stable Asset Fund B;
however, since these contracts are fully benefit-responsive, an adjustment is reflected in the
statements of net assets available for benefits to present these investments at contract value.
Contract value is the relevant measurement attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts because contact value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate
permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The contract value of the SunTrust Retirement Stable Asset Fund B represents contributions plus
earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

    <TD><DIV style="text-align: justify">This category includes investments in SunTrust Retirement Stable Asset Fund B that is designed to
deliver safety and stability by preserving principal while also seeking a reasonable stable monthly
return and high degree of liquidity for participant withdrawals. This fund is primarily invested in
a variety of investment contracts such as guaranteed investment contracts issued by insurance
companies and other financial institutions and other investment products (synthetic guaranteed
investment contracts and collective trust funds). The net asset value at contract value is
determined each day (&#147;valuation date&#148;). Fund units are issued and redeemed based upon the net asset
value per unit at contract value on the valuation date. The fair value of the fund has been
estimated based on the fair value of the underlying investment contracts in the fund as reported by
the issuer of the fund. The fair value differs from the contract value. As previously discussed,
contract value is the relevant measurement attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts because contract value is the amount participants would received if they were to initiate
permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.</DIV></TD>

participants&#146; account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available
