Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and within the limits of each Lender’s respective Commitment, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Advances.

(b)Designation and Classification of Loans and Advances.

(i)Each Loan made by a Class A Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall constitute a “Class A Loan”. Each Advance made by a Class A Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall constitute a “Class A Advance”.

(ii)Each Loan made by a Class B-1 Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall constitute a “Class B-1 Loan”. Each Advance made by a Class B-1 Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall constitute a “Class B-1 Advance”.

(iii)Each Loan made by a Class B-2 Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) shall constitute a “Class B-2 Loan”. Each Advance made by a Class B-2 Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) shall constitute a “Class B-2 Advance”.

(iv)Each Loan made by a Class C Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv) shall constitute a “Class C Loan”. Each Advance made by a Class C Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv) shall constitute a “Class C Advance”.

2.2Evidence of Loan.

(a)Administrative Agent Records. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain, at one of its offices in the United States of America, in accordance with its usual practice, true, correct and complete electronic or written records evidencing the indebtedness and obligations owed by Borrower to Lenders, in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made by a Lender hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal and/or interest due and payable and/or to become due and payable from Borrower and payable to a Lender hereunder in respect of each such Advance, (iii) all amounts received by a Lender hereunder from Borrower and (iv) the name and address of each Lender.

(b)Evidence of Indebtedness. The entries made in the electronic or written records maintained pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (the “Register”) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations and indebtedness therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the correct amounts owed pursuant to the Loan, including all Advances made by a Lender, and all other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents. Section 2.2(a) shall be construed so that the Loan is at all times maintained in

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

“registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c)Monthly Statements. Within two (2) Business Days of a request by Borrower, Administrative Agent will provide to Borrower a written statement of Advances made, and any charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement for the immediately-preceding calendar month, provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such written statement shall not affect the validity of any Advance made by a Lender and shall not constitute a default or breach by Administrative Agent or any Lender of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and in the absence of manifest error, such accounting rendered by Administrative Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Administrative Agent is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of each accounting, which notice shall be deemed an objection only to items specifically objected to therein. In the event of such objection, Administrative Agent shall in good faith recalculate and validate such amounts to eliminate any such manifest error

(d)Notes. If so requested by a Lender at any time following the Closing Date, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after such request, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for further delivery to such requesting Lender, a Note A (with respect to any Class A Loan), a Note B (with respect to any Class B-1 Loan or Class B-2 Loan) or a Note C (with respect to any Class C Loan), and made payable to the order of such Lender, further evidencing such Lender’s Loans. Each Lender may attach schedules to its respective Note, if any, and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto. In addition, upon receipt by Borrower of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft destruction, or mutilation of any Note, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, if mutilated, Borrower will deliver a new Note of like tenor in lieu of such Note, dated as of the date of the original Note. The Notes evidence the obligation of Borrower to repay in Dollars the Advances made pursuant to, and the other Obligations described in, this Agreement, and are not intended to be, nor shall any of them be deemed for any purpose to constitute, a security or investment contract within the meaning of applicable state and federal securities laws.

2.3Advances and Releases.

(a)Advances.

(i)Each borrowing of Advances shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable delivery to Administrative Agent of an Advance Certification. Each such Advance Certification must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of the requested Advance.

(v)The Advance to be made by Lenders to Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 on such Funding Date shall be made pro rata in accordance with the related Commitment of the Class A Lenders, Class B-1 Lenders, Class B-2 Lenders and Class C Lenders, provided, that (x) Advances to be made by the Class B-1 Lenders, Class B-2 Lenders and Class C Lenders may be made by such Lenders on a non-pro rata basis with the related Commitments of such Lenders on any Funding Date at the election of all such Lenders and with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and (y) each Lender with an unfunded portion of their applicable Commitment shall fund on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of available Commitments with respect to such Class) with each other Lender with an unfunded portion of their applicable Commitment unless otherwise agreed among the applicable Class B-1 Lenders, Class B-2 Lenders and Class C Lenders, as the case may be.

(vi)Borrower shall keep adequate Books and Records regarding the Portfolio.

In calculating interest and applying payments as set forth above: (w) interest shall be calculated and collected through the last day immediately preceding the current Remittance Date; provided, however, if interest due on the related Remittance Date is not paid in full in accordance with Section 2.6(b), unpaid interest shall be calculated and collected through the last day of the following Remittance Date; (x) interest on the outstanding balance of each Advance shall be charged during any grace period permitted hereunder; (y) all unpaid interest for the previous Remittance Date shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan (i.e. compounded); and (z) to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower’s benefit that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to any other Person, then, to such extent, the obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if each payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may adjust the outstanding balance of the Loan to reflect such revived obligations.

(d)Extension of Draw Period; Prepayments; Final Payment.

(i)Extension of Draw Period. Borrower, by written request delivered to Administrative Agent and the Lenders no earlier than six (6) months prior to the then-existing Draw Period Termination Date, may request to extend the Draw Period Termination Date for one (1) or more additional years; such request may be granted or rejected by each of the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion, for any reason, or no reason; provided, further, that if each Lender does not agree to such extension in writing by the earlier of (x) forty-five (45) days following such request and (y) the then-existing Draw Period Termination Date, then the request shall be deemed to have been rejected.

(ii)Prepayments. Until the Lockout Expiration Date, Borrower shall not be permitted to prepay the Loan in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) except as provided in Section 2.6(b) (which may include, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of the Loan used to cure any Borrowing Base Shortfall under Sections 2.6(b)(i)(E), 2.6(b)(i)(G), 2.6(b)(i)(I), 2.6(b)(i)(K), 2.6(b)(ii)(E), 2.6(b)(ii)(K), 2.6(b)(ii)(M), or 2.6(b)(ii)(O)); provided, that the foregoing shall not relieve Borrower of its Obligation to cure any Borrowing Base Shortfall. Borrower shall be entitled to prepay all (but not less than all, except as provided in Section 2.6(b) (which may include, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of the Loan used to cure any Borrowing Base Shortfall under Sections 2.6(b)(i)(E), 2.6(b)(i)(G), 2.6(b)(i)(I), 2.6(b)(i)(K), 2.6(b)(ii)(E), 2.6(b)(ii)(K), 2.6(b)(ii)(M), or 2.6(b)(ii)(O)) which prepayments shall be without premium or penalty)) of the Outstanding Legal Balance following the Lockout Expiration Date without premium or penalty; provided, that, solely in the case of any prepayment of all of the Outstanding Legal Balance (and not for any prepayment provided in Section 2.6(b)), Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent and each Lender with not less than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of such prepayment; and provided, further, that, solely in the case of any prepayment or payment of all of the Outstanding Legal Balance (and not for any prepayment provided in Section 2.6(b)) whether as a result of an optional prepayment by the Borrower following the Lockout Period or any payment as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default, if such prepayment or acceleration occurs prior to the end of the Yield Maintenance Period, then such prepayment or payment shall be accompanied by a yield maintenance fee in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Outstanding Legal Balance of the Advances being prepaid multiplied by (y) three percent (3.00%) (the “Yield Maintenance Fee”); (calculated as of the date of such prepayment, but without giving effect to any prepayment on such date). Borrower agrees that the Yield Maintenance Fee is a reasonable calculation of such Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

determining actual damages resulting from an early termination of the Loan. Each Lender will be allocated its pro rata share of any Yield Maintenance Fee payable hereunder.

(iii)Final Payment. Notwithstanding any term, provision, or condition hereof to the contrary, the entire Outstanding Legal Balance, together with (A) any interest added to principal as provided in this Agreement, (B) all (without duplication) accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (C) all other unpaid and due Obligations (including any Yield Maintenance Fees) of the Loan Parties allocable to Advances as determined by Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion, shall be paid in full via wire transfer by Borrower to Administrative Agent, for further payment to the Lenders, in accordance with its payment instructions on or before the Maturity Date.

(e)Permitted Discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish reserves that shall reduce the Borrowing Base, in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, shall in good faith determine is necessary or appropriate, with respect to (i) sums that Borrower is required to pay (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay under any term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (inclusive of any cure period set forth herein or therein, as applicable) and (ii) amounts owing by Borrower to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than an existing Permitted Lien), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Administrative Agent, would have a priority superior to Administrative Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under Applicable Law) in and to such item of the Collateral.

(f)Receipt of Collections. In the event any Loan Party or any Servicer receives any Collections directly from or on behalf of the related Lease-Merchandise Lessees, such Person shall receive all such payments in trust for the benefit of Borrower, as assignor/pledgor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent, and the applicable Loan Party shall deliver, or Borrower shall cause such other Person to deposit, transfer or remit to a Specified Collection Account (or to the Borrower Collection Account) in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and the Flow of Funds all such payments (in the form so received or, in the event any such payments are misplaced or otherwise lost, funds in the amount thereof) within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(g)Borrower’s Receipt of Repurchase Price. In the event Borrower receives any payments from any counterparty under the Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to repurchase price or any other amounts, Borrower shall receive all such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower Collection Account all such payments as and when received by Borrower on a same day basis, to the extent practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(h)Payments, Generally.

(i)All payments to be made by Borrower shall, subject to Section 2.10 with respect to Taxes, be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent Account, for the account of Administrative Agent or Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time on the date specified herein). Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its applicable pro rata share of such payments (determined by reference to such Lender’s pro rata share of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances or such other applicable amounts, to which such

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

payments are to be applied) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s lending office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(i)Rebalancing. In the event that any Borrowing Base Shortfall exists on any Remittance Date (after giving effect to any available Collections to cure such Borrowing Base Shortfall on such Remittance Date), Borrower shall cure the Borrowing Base Shortfall no later than the immediately following Business Day; provided, however, that if such Remittance Date is during the Draw Period, then Borrower shall have the option to arrange for a Seller to contribute or assign to Borrower, an amount of Eligible Leases, in lieu of cash, in an amount sufficient, in the aggregate, to cure such Borrowing Base Shortfall; and provided, further, that, without limitation on the application of Collections pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Borrower shall have until the 30th day following the commencement of a Level 1 Portfolio Trigger Event Period to cure the related Borrowing Base Shortfall caused by the applicable reduction in Advance Rate.

(j)Fundings by Lenders, Payments by Borrower and Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

(i)Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Advance available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, each severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the related Advances. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Advance to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Advance. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii)Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (A) Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (B) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (C)

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agree to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.6(j)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this Section 2.6(j)(ii) with respect to any Rescindable Amount unless such demand is made within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of receipt of such Rescindable Amount by the applicable Lender.

(k)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Advance set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(l)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Advances and to make any other payments required hereunder are several and not joint. No Lender shall be responsible, or be subject to any defense, offset or claim from any other party hereto, for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Advance or to make any other payment required hereunder.

(m)Funding Sources. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.

(n)Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Advances made by it, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Advances or accrued interest thereon greater than its applicable pro rata share of such payment thereof (determined by reference to such Lender’s pro rata share of the outstanding principal balance of such Advance), then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall: (i) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as determined by Administrative Agent, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that: (A) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (B) the provisions of this Section 2.6(n) shall not be construed to apply to: (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement; or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.6(n) shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.7Lender Allocation Provisions.

(a)At all times during a Trigger Period, all amounts payable to Lenders under Section 2.6(b)(i)(C) or in respect of Protective Advances and Enforcement Costs, (i) in the case of Protective Advances, shall be applied pro-rata to all related Advances based on their then respective Outstanding Legal Balance and (ii) in the case of Enforcement Costs, shall be reimbursed to the applicable Lender.

(b)Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the priority of payments for application of Collections set forth in Sections 2.6(b)(i) and 2.6(b)(ii), to the extent provided therein, constitutes a subordination agreement by (x) the holders of the Class B-1 Advances (but not any other Advance, for this purpose, the “Class B-1 Subordinated Debt”) in favor of the holders of the Class A Advances (but not any other Advance, for this purpose, the “Class A Senior Debt”), (y) the holders of the Class B-2 Advances (but not any other Advance, for this purpose, the “Class B-2 Subordinated Debt”) in favor of the holders of the Class A Senior Debt and the Class B-1 Advances (but not any other Advance, for this purpose, the “Class B-1 Senior Debt”) and (z) the holders of the Class C Advances (but not any other Advance, for this purpose, the “Class C Subordinated Debt”) in favor of the holders of the Class A Senior Debt, the Class B-1 Senior Debt and the holders of the Class B-2 Advances (but not any other Advance, for this purpose, the “Class B-2 Senior Debt”), and in each case shall be subject to the subordination provisions set forth in Section 2.8.

(c)In addition to and not in limitation of each Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.8, (i) if any Class B-1 Lender shall receive any amount that should have been delivered instead to the Class A Lenders in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.6(b), (ii) if any Class B-2 Lender shall receive any amount that should have been delivered instead to the Class A Lenders or the Class B-1 Lenders in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.6(b), or (iii) if any Class C Lender shall receive any amount that should have been delivered instead to the Class A Lenders, the Class B-1 Lenders or the Class B-2 Lenders in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.6(b) (each, a “Mistaken Payment”), then such Lender receiving the Mistaken Payment shall promptly deliver the same to Administrative Agent for further delivery to the correct recipient(s) in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment where required by the payee), and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust for the correct recipient.

(d)No Loan Party shall have any obligation to notify Administrative Agent or any Lender of the existence of any Trigger Period; provided, that the foregoing shall not relieve any Loan Party of any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document specifically requiring such Loan Party to provide Lenders or Administrative Agent with notice of any specified event, occurrence or condition.

(ii)Each holder of Class B-2 Advances (as further defined below, a “Class B-2 Holder”) hereby postpones and subordinates any and all Class B-2 Subordinated Debt to the payment of the Class A Senior Debt to each Class A Holder and to the payment of the Class B-1 Senior Debt to each Class B-1 Holder on the following terms.

(iii)Each holder of Class C Advances (as further defined below, a “Class C Holder”) hereby postpones and subordinates any and all related Class C Subordinated Debt to the payment of the Class A Senior Debt to each Class A Holder, the Class B-1 Senior Debt to each Class B-1 Holder and the Class B-2 Senior Debt to each Class B-2 Holder on the following terms.

(b)in the event that Administrative Agent and Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Percentage Share.

2.10Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments to or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any Applicable Laws; provided that, if any Withholding Agent shall be required (determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent by any Applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Tax from such payments, then: (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10), Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions; and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.10(a), Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws or, at the option of Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) payable or paid by Administrative Agent or Lenders, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Administrative Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.10(d).

(e)Evidence of Payments. If requested in writing by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes under this Section 2.10 by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(f)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below of this Section 2.10(f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Laws to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10(g), in no event will Administrative Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or Lender (as applicable) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.10(g) shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(h)Survival. Each party’s hereto obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.11[Reserved].

2.12Increased Costs.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii)subject Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement, the Loan or Advances made by such Lender or participation therein;

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Loan or any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make its Loan or any Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such applicable Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or 2.12(b), as well as the basis for determining such amount or amounts, and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to in this Section 2.12(d) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

2.13Mitigation of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.6(c) if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10, then such Lender, at the request of Borrower, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan or Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8 or Section 2.12, as the case may be, in the future; and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender as reasonably determined by such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.14Removal or Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Removal or Replacement of Lenders Generally. Borrower may with respect to any Specified Lender, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent:

(i)remove such Specified Lender by terminating such Specified Lender’s Commitment;

(ii)request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all of such Specified Lender’s Loan and Advances and Commitment, which Lender or Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to so acquire and assume such Specified Lender’s Loan, Advances and Commitments pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion, including pursuant to Section 11.6(a)(ii); or

(iii)with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), designate a replacement bank or financial institution that is an Eligible Assignee (a “Replacement Lender”), which Replacement Lender shall assume all of the Loan, Advances and Commitment of such Specified Lender pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion, including pursuant to Section 11.6(a)(ii); provided that Borrower may not remove such Specified Lender, or require such Specified Lender to make any assignment and delegation, pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, if: (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (2) such Specified Lender became a Specified Lender as a result of being a Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent and Borrower have agreed, prior to the effectiveness of such action, that such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender; or (3) Borrower has not concurrently taken an action under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.14(a) with respect to all other Lenders who at the time are Specified Lenders under the same clause of the definition thereof.

Any removal of, or assignment and delegation by, a Specified Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) shall be subject to payment to such Specified Lender of the aggregate Outstanding Legal Balance of all of its Advances at the time owing to it, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, which amounts shall be paid to such Specified Lender by: (A) in the case of a removal of such Specified Lender, Borrower; or (B) in the case of an assignment and delegation by such Specified Lender, the applicable assignee (to the extent of all such

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and fees) and Borrower (to the extent of all such other amounts).

(b)Certain Actions Incident to Removal. In the case of the removal of any Specified Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(i), Borrower shall also release such Specified Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby grants to Administrative Agent a power of attorney (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.14.

(c)Certain Rights as a Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Specified Lender and the termination of such Lender’s Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Specified Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Specified Lender to indemnification hereunder with respect to matters that occurred prior to the date on which such Specified Lender’s Commitments were terminated shall survive as to such Specified Lender.

(d)Evidence of Removal or Replacement. Promptly following the removal or replacement of any Specified Lender in accordance with this Section 2.14, Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule D, which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect changes in the identities of Lenders and adjustments of their respective Commitments or Percentage Shares, as applicable, resulting from any such removal or replacement.

2.15Survival. All obligations of Borrower under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 shall survive the Discharge of Secured Obligations.

2.16Fees.

(a)Administrative Agent Closing Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date, for its own account, a documentation fee in immediately available funds in an amount equal to 2.00% of the total aggregate amount of Commitments in effect on the Closing Date (but before giving effect to any funding by any Lender of its Commitments on the Closing Date), which documentation fee shall be fully earned by Administrative Agent on the Closing Date.

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

2.17Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)Subject to Section 2.19, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Advance the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(b)the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.5, that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances pursuant to Section 2.5, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advance or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to ABR Advances in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16. Subject to Section 2.19, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Advances shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

2.18Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances pursuant to Section 2.5, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Advances shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Advances to ABR Advances (the interest rate on which ABR Advances shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16.

2.19Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted an agreed upon amendment. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.19(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.19(d) and (v) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.19, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.19.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

2.20ESG Amendment. The parties hereto acknowledge that Sustainability Performance Targets have not been determined and agreed as of the Closing Date.

(a)Borrower may, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, submit a request in writing to Administrative Agent that this Agreement be amended to include the Sustainability Performance Targets and other related provisions (including without limitation those provisions described in this Section 2.20), to be mutually agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.20 (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”). Such request shall be accompanied by the proposed Sustainability Performance Targets as prepared by Borrower in consultation with Administrative Agent and may be devised with assistance from the Sustainability Assurance Provider (defined below), which shall be included as a new Schedule 2.20. The proposed ESG Amendment shall also include the ESG Pricing Provisions (defined below) and shall identify a sustainability assurance provider, provided that any such sustainability assurance provider (if any) shall be a qualified external reviewer, independent of Parent and its Subsidiaries, with relevant expertise, such as an auditor, environmental consultant and/or independent ratings agency of recognized national standing (the “Sustainability Assurance Provider”).

(b)If requested by Borrower, in Borrower’s sole discretion, Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower shall enter into discussions to reach an agreement in respect of the proposed Sustainability Performance Targets and Sustainability Assurance Provider (if any), and any proposed incentives and penalties for compliance and noncompliance, respectively, with the Sustainability Performance Targets, including, in the Required Lenders’ and each affected Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, any adjustments to the Class A Applicable Margin, Class B-1 Applicable Margin, Class B-2 Applicable Margin and Class C Applicable Margin, as applicable (such provisions, collectively, the “ESG Pricing Provisions”); provided that the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than 0.15% in the Interest Rate during

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

any calendar year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions; provided that (x) for the avoidance of doubt, such pricing adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year, (y) each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place pursuant to the ESG Pricing Provisions. The ESG Amendment (including the ESG Pricing Provisions) will become effective once Borrower, the Required Lenders, any affected Lenders and Administrative Agent have executed the ESG Amendment. Each Loan Party agrees and confirms that the ESG Pricing Provisions shall follow the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, as published in March 2022, and as may be updated, revised or amended from time to time by the Loan Market Association and the Loan Syndications & Trading Association (the “SLL Principles”).

Section 3COLLATERAL

3.1Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance when due of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, pledges, and grants to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing Priority Security Interest in and to the Collateral (the “Security Interest”).

3.2Financing Statements. Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to execute (if necessary) and/or deliver UCC financing statements, together with any and all other appropriate instruments and documents, and to take such other action, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, in order to perfect and to continue the perfection of Administrative Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, except only to the extent (if at all) such actions are prohibited by Applicable Laws. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to execute (if necessary) and file any such financing statements (with or without any signature thereon), instruments, and documents on Borrower’s behalf, and ratifies and consents to any financing statement that was filed under any Applicable Law prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3Location of Collateral. All tangible Collateral (other than (i) Collateral delivered to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s Custodian and (ii) Collateral in possession of a Seller in such Seller’s store) shall remain, at all times, at the principal offices of Borrower or a Servicer (or, in the case of Portfolio Documents which are not in electronic form, at the location(s) set forth on Schedule 6.2(i)), and, except as otherwise set forth herein, neither Borrower nor any Servicer may transfer or cause the transfer of any such Collateral from such premises without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent (acting with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders).

3.4Protection of Collateral; Reimbursement.

(a)All tangible Collateral (except (i) Collateral in the possession of the Backup Servicer, Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent’s Custodian and (ii) Collateral in possession of a Seller in such Seller’s store) will at all times be kept by Borrower or a Servicer at the locations set forth on Schedule 6.2(i), and, except as otherwise set forth herein, shall not, without thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, be moved there from other than to another such location, and in any case shall not be moved outside the continental United States.

From and after the funding of each

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

Advance hereunder, the Leases and the originals/authoritative copies of the Portfolio Documents (other than any original identification (e.g., driver’s license) issued to a Lease-Merchandise Lessee by the jurisdiction in which such Lease-Merchandise Lessee resides) evidencing the Leases constituting Collateral shall, regardless of their location (whether with any Servicer or the Custodian), be deemed to be under Administrative Agent’s dominion and control and deemed to be in Administrative Agent’s possession. Any of Administrative Agent’s officers, employees, representatives or agents shall have the right upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours, in the name of Administrative Agent or any designee of Administrative Agent or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Collateral. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. In addition to any provision of any Loan Document, Administrative Agent or the Backup Servicer, at the direction of Administrative Agent, shall have the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify Lease-Merchandise Lessees that their Leases have been assigned to Administrative Agent and to collect such Leases directly in Administrative Agent’s own name, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, and to charge collection costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and expenses, to Borrower.

(c)Borrower shall, upon the receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, cooperate with Administrative Agent (and shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cause Backup Servicer or any Custodian, if requested by Administrative Agent) to cooperate with Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent elects to attach or associate in electronic format a legend, stamp, notation or other identification to all or any portion of the Portfolio Documents to evidence the pledge thereof to Administrative Agent, such legend, stamp, notation or other identification shall be in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)[Reserved].

(g)Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders in their Permitted Discretion may, subsequent to the occurrence of a Level 1 Portfolio Trigger Event, a Cease Funding Event, Event of Default or a Backup Servicing Trigger Event, appoint a Custodian, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, to perform specified custodial duties with respect to the Custodian Deliverables.

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(h)Borrower will provide reasonable cooperation with the Administrative Agent to cause the Verification Agent Agreement to be entered into by the parties thereto no later than two-month anniversary of the Closing Date (as may be extended by Administrative Agent), which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and to Borrower in its reasonable discretion.

3.5Liability. Any and all amounts for which Borrower may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside legal counsel and court costs) that Administrative Agent actually incurs in enforcing or protecting its Lien on, or rights and interest in, the Collateral or any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in respect to any of the transactions to be had hereunder or thereunder, until paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest calculated using ABR (or the Default Rate as the case may be), shall, subject to any limitations contained in Section 6.1(n), be included among the Obligations and, as such, shall be secured by all of the Collateral. Provided, however, for avoidance of doubt, interest shall not accrue on any amounts due hereunder other than Advances of principal until such amounts are past due and thus added to the Outstanding Legal Balance.

3.6Commercial Tort Claims. Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any commercial tort claims with a value in excess of $100,000 in which Borrower has an interest arising after the date hereof and shall provide all necessary information concerning each such commercial tort claim and, at the request of Administrative Agent, make all necessary filings with respect thereto to perfect Administrative Agent’s Priority security interest therein.

3.7Possession. Subject to the express provisions hereof with respect to the Portfolio Documents and possession thereof, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s custodian all items of Collateral for which Administrative Agent must receive possession to obtain a perfected Lien. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, and at the sole expense of Borrower (subject to the express provisions hereof with respect to the Portfolio Documents and possession thereof), Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Administrative Agent may request, in its Permitted Discretion, for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

3.8Borrower Contractual Obligations. It is expressly agreed by each Loan Party that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall remain liable under each of its contracts (including, without limitation, the Purchase and Sale Agreement) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment relating to any such contract pursuant hereto or any Loan Document. Administrative Agent shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Borrower under or pursuant to any such contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

3.9Payments by Lender; Protective Advances.

(a)Should any amount required to be paid under any Loan Document be unpaid beyond any applicable cure period, such amount may be paid by a Lender, for its account, which payment

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

shall be deemed a request for an Advance by Borrower as of the date such payment is due, and Borrower irrevocably authorizes disbursement of any such funds to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5(b) without necessity of any demand whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. No payment or prepayment of any amount by a Lender or any other Person shall entitle any Person to be subrogated to the rights of such Lender under any Loan Document unless and until the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred, and this Agreement has been terminated with respect thereto. Any sums expended or amounts paid by a Lender as a result of Borrower’s failure to pay, perform or comply with any Loan Document or any of its Obligations may be charged to Borrower’s account as an Advance under the related Loans and added to the Outstanding Legal Balance.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion shall have the right, but not any obligation, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) discharge (at Borrower’s expense) Taxes or Liens affecting any of the Collateral that have not been paid in violation of any Loan Document or that jeopardize Administrative Agent’s Lien priority in the Collateral, including any underlying collateral securing any Lease pledged by Borrower; or (ii) make any other payment (at Borrower’s expense) for the administration, servicing, maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral, including any underlying collateral securing any Lease pledged by Borrower (each such advance or payment set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, a “Protective Advance”); provided, that if any Protective Advance shall cause the aggregate principal amount of all Protective Advances made since the Closing Date to be in an amount that is greater than $6,000,000, Administrative Agent shall not make such Protective Advance without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be reimbursed for all Protective Advances upon demand and any Protective Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date the Protective Advance is paid by Administrative Agent until it is repaid. No Protective Advance by Administrative Agent shall be construed as a waiver by Administrative Agent of any Default, Event of Default or any of the rights or remedies of Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender makes an advance under Section 3.9(a) or a Protective Advance, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall offer each Lender an opportunity to fund its pro rata share (in accordance with the Class A Advance, Class B-1 Advance, Class B-2 Advance and Class C Advance, as applicable) of such advance or Protective Advance.

Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent may, and (x) at the request of any Class Majority Lenders or (y) at the request of any Class A Directing Lender, shall, take any one or more of the actions described in this Section 8.1, all without notice to Borrower (except as expressly provided below); provided that, to the extent that any Class Majority Lenders instruct Administrative Agent to take any one or more of the actions described in this Section 8.1, the Class Majority Lenders constituting Class C Lenders shall be subordinated to the instruction of the Class Majority Lenders constituting Class B-2 Lenders, the Class Majority Lenders constituting Class B-2 Lenders shall be subordinated to the instruction of the Class Majority Lenders constituting Class B-1 Lenders and the Class Majority Lenders constituting Class B-1 Lenders shall be subordinated to the instruction of the Class Majority Lenders constituting Class A Lenders:

(a)Acceleration. Declare the unpaid balance of all Advances, together with all unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due and payable to Administrative Agent and/or any of the applicable Lenders, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower (provided that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.6 or 7.7, the entire unpaid balance of the Advances, together with all unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations, shall automatically accelerate and become immediately due and payable without any further action, and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower).

(b)Termination of Obligation to Advance. Terminate the Commitments or any other commitment or obligation of Lenders hereunder to make Advances in its entirety, even if Administrative Agent has provided notice to Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 that a Lender would fund an Advance, or any portion of the Commitment or such other commitment, and/or terminate Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ further performance under this Agreement and/or any other document or instrument to which Lenders and Borrower (or any Affiliate of Borrower) are parties, without further liability or obligation to Borrower; provided that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.6 or 7.7, the Commitments shall automatically terminate without further action and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

(c)Judgment. Reduce Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim to judgment, foreclose, and/or otherwise enforce each Lien and security interest of Administrative Agent in and to all or any part of the Collateral by any judicial or other procedure available to Administrative Agent.

(d)Sale of Collateral. Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), including (i) require Borrower to,

127

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

and Borrower hereby agrees that it will, at Borrower’s expense and upon request of Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Administrative Agent and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) enter upon any premises of Borrower and take possession of the Collateral; and (iii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, at such time or times, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable (such actions, collectively, a “Proposed Sale”). Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any sale shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by law, Administrative Agent may bid on behalf of the Lenders (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for the purchase of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of Administrative Agent. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. Administrative Agent shall not be required to proceed against any Collateral but may proceed against Borrower directly. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal that it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter enacted.

(e)Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, retain such portion of the Collateral as shall aggregate in value to an amount equal to the total amount owed by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, in satisfaction of the Obligations, whenever the circumstances are such that Administrative Agent is entitled and elects to do so under Applicable Law. In furtherance of this remedy, Administrative Agent shall be permitted to retain and apply to the Outstanding Legal Balance all payments received in respect of Leases within the Portfolio, other than fees due and payable to the Backup Servicer, any Approved Processor or Account Bank.

(f)Receiver. Apply by appropriate procedures for the appointment of a receiver who shall have the authority to, among other things, enter upon and take possession of any or all of the Collateral, collect the rents and profits generated therefrom, and apply the same as the court may direct. Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(g)Purchase of Collateral. Buy all or any part of the Collateral at any public or private sale in accordance with Applicable Laws.

(h)Exercise of Other Rights. Administrative Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled, including, without limitation, and without notice to Borrower, the right to continue to collect all payments made on the Leases pledged as Collateral and to apply such payments to the Obligations, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to sue in its own name the applicable Lease-Merchandise Lessee of any Charged-Off Leases relating to a Lease pledged as Collateral. Administrative Agent may also exercise any and all other rights or remedies afforded by any other Applicable Laws or by the Loan Documents, as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, at law, in equity, or otherwise, including but not limited to the right to bring suit or other proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in the Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right or remedy granted to Administrative Agent in the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall also have the right to require Borrower to assemble any of the Collateral not in Administrative Agent’s possession, at Borrower’s expense, and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place to be determined by Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Administrative Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and may enter any of the premises of Borrower or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without process of law wherever the Collateral may be, and, to the extent such premises are not the property of Administrative

128

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

Agent, to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of Borrower, Borrower agrees not to charge Administrative Agent for use and occupancy, rent, or storage of the Collateral, for a period of at least forty-five (45) days after sale or disposition of the Collateral). Administrative Agent is not under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

8.2Notice of Sale. Reasonable notification of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be sent to Borrower and to any other Person entitled under the UCC to notice; provided, however, that if the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Administrative Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without advertisement or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which such notice relates is reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this Section 8.2. Administrative Agent shall have the right to bid at any public or private sale on its own behalf or on behalf of the Lenders. Out of money arising from any such sale, Administrative Agent shall retain an amount equal to all costs and charges, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that it has incurred or may incur for advice, counsel, or other legal services or for pursuing, reclaiming, seeking to reclaim, taking, keeping, removing, storing, and advertising such Collateral for sale, selling same, and any and all other charges and expenses in connection therewith and in satisfying any prior Liens thereon. Any balance shall be applied against the Obligations, and in the event of deficiency, Borrower shall remain liable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to such other Persons as may be legally entitled to such surplus. If, by reason of any suit or proceeding of any kind, nature, or description against Borrower, or by Borrower or any other party against Administrative Agent, which in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion makes it advisable for Administrative Agent to seek counsel for the protection and preservation of its Liens and security interests, or to defend its own interest, such expenses and counsel fees shall be allowed to Administrative Agent, and the same shall be made a further charge and Lien upon the Collateral.

In view of the fact that federal, state, and other securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of certain Collateral may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for, or with a view to, distribution. In so doing, Administrative Agent may solicit offers to buy such Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from a limited number of investors deemed by Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if Administrative Agent solicits such offers from not less than two (2) such investors, then the acceptance by Administrative Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.

129

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

8.3Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, with or without proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment or performance of the Obligations, without notice, terminate Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ further performance under this Agreement or any other agreement or agreements between Administrative Agent hereunder and any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, without further liability or obligation by Administrative Agent and Lenders’ hereunder. Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the giving of notice, or otherwise, shall absolve, release, or otherwise affect the liability of Borrower in respect of transactions prior to such termination, or affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers, and remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders, but they shall, in all events, continue until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full.

8.4Rights of Administrative Agent Regarding Collateral. Without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies that Administrative Agent has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, Administrative Agent may from time to time after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and expiration of all applicable grace and cure periods, take any or all of the following actions:

(a)transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of Administrative Agent or its nominee;

(b)take control of the proceeds of any of the Collateral;

(c)extend or renew the Loan or Advances and grant releases, compromises, forbearances, or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any portion thereof, any extension, or renewal thereof, or any security therefor, to any obligor hereunder or thereunder;

(d)exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(e)subject to the Specified Collection Accounts Intercreditor Agreement, exercise and or deliver any notice of control over any Deposit Account of Borrower; and

(f)require that all amounts in all Deposit Accounts of Borrower be immediately transferred into a depository account or accounts maintained by Administrative Agent or an Affiliate or agent of Administrative Agent at such bank as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion.

130

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

8.5Delegation of Duties and Rights. Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, or other representatives. To the maximum extent practicable in light of all relevant facts and circumstances, Administrative Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any duplication of effort and cost to Borrower in connection with any such delegation on their part.

8.6Waivers. THE ACCEPTANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME OF PARTIAL PAYMENTS OF THE LOAN OR ADVANCES OR PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT THEN EXISTING. NO WAIVER BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF ANY OTHER OR SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. NO DELAY OR OMISSION BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN EXERCISING ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL IMPAIR SUCH RIGHT OR REMEDY OR BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER THEREOF OR AN ACQUIESCENCE THEREIN, NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE OF ANY SUCH RIGHT OR REMEDY PRECLUDE OTHER OR FURTHER EXERCISES THEREOF, OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE.

8.7Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to any of Administrative Agent and any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, at law, or in equity, whether or not the Loan is due and payable and whether or not Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have instituted any suit for collection or other action in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents.

8.8Expenditures by Administrative Agent. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1(n), any amounts expended by or on behalf of Administrative Agent and/or any of the Lenders pursuant to the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein or available at law or in equity shall be deemed part of the Obligations, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until the date repaid.

8.9Diminution in Value of Collateral. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution or loss in value of any of the Collateral for acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner with respect to such Collateral.

8.10No Duty of Administrative Agent to Incur Liability. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require Administrative Agent or any Lender to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if Administrative Agent has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

8.11Buy-Out Rights.

(a)Class B-1 Buy-Out Right.

(i)At any time following Administrative Agent’s taking any one or more of the enforcement actions described in Section 8.1 or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing

Section 9CERTAIN RIGHTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

139

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

9.1Protection of Collateral. Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time, take such actions as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to protect Administrative Agent’s Liens and security interests in and to preserve the Collateral, and to establish, maintain, and protect the enforceability of Administrative Agent’s rights with respect thereto, all at the expense of Borrower. Borrower agrees to cooperate fully with all of Administrative Agent’s reasonable efforts to preserve the Collateral and Administrative Agent’s Liens, security interests, and rights and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral and Administrative Agent’s Liens, security interests, and rights as Administrative Agent may reasonably direct, including, without limitation, by promptly paying, upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, all documentary stamp taxes or other Taxes that may be or may become due in respect of any of the Collateral. All of Administrative Agent’s reasonable and documented expenses of preserving the Collateral and its Liens and security interests and rights therein shall be added to the Obligations and secured by the Collateral.

9.2Performance by Administrative Agent. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement contained herein, subject to any notice or cure periods, Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower. In no event, however, shall Administrative Agent have any obligation or duty whatsoever to perform any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents, and any such performance by Administrative Agent shall be wholly discretionary with Administrative Agent. The performance by Administrative Agent of any agreement or covenant of Borrower on any occasion shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Administrative Agent to perform any such agreements or covenants on any other occasion or at any time. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent shall not at any time or under any circumstances whatsoever have any duty to Borrower or to any other Person to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder.

140

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

9.3No Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent is obligated to perform all of its covenants and obligations hereunder, subject to all of the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof and of the other Loan Documents. However, neither the execution of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Administrative Agent nor the exercise of any rights hereunder or thereunder by Administrative Agent shall be construed in any way as an assumption by Administrative Agent of any obligations, responsibilities, or duties of Borrower arising in connection with all or any portion of the Collateral, under any Applicable Laws, or in connection with any other business of Borrower or the Collateral, nor shall it otherwise bind Administrative Agent to the performance of any obligations with respect to the Collateral, it being expressly understood that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to perform, observe, or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of Borrower with respect to any of the Collateral, or under any Applicable Laws, including, but not limited to, appearing in or defending any action, expending any money, or incurring any expense in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, neither this Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Administrative Agent taken hereunder nor the acquisition of the Leases pledged as Collateral, and/or the other Collateral by Administrative Agent prior to or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default shall constitute an assumption by Administrative Agent of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Collateral, or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations thereunder or with respect thereto. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify (and at Administrative Agent’s option protect and defend), and hold the Indemnified Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of settlement, attorneys’ fees and court costs, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Lender Parties by reason of, arising out of, or connected in any way with (a) any failure or alleged failure of Borrower to perform any of its covenants or obligations with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral; (b) a breach of any certification, representation, warranty, or covenant of Borrower set forth in any of the Loan Documents; (c) the ownership of the Leases pledged as Collateral, the other Collateral, and the rights, titles, and interests assigned hereby, or intended so to be; (d) the debtor-creditor relationships between Borrower, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent (and their respective successors, assigns, participants, and subparticipants), on the other; or (e) the Leases pledged as Collateral, other than damages to the extent caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative Agent’s obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold the Indemnified Lender Parties harmless as provided in this Agreement are absolute, unconditional, present, and continuing, and shall not be dependent upon or affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity, or enforceability of any claim, demand, or suit from which the Indemnified Lender Parties are indemnified. The indemnity provisions in this Section 9.3 shall survive the Discharge of Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement and remain binding and enforceable against Borrower, together with any of its successors and assigns. If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that Borrower is entitled to recover damages from the Indemnified Lender Parties for any reason or upon any cause, claim, or counterclaim, in connection with the Loan or the transactions provided for or contemplated pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower stipulates and agrees that any such damages or awards shall be limited to compensatory damages only, and that under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Indemnified Lender Parties be liable to Borrower, or any Affiliate thereof for exemplary or punitive damages, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower.

9.4Right to Defend Action Affecting Security. Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding, at law or in equity, that Administrative Agent in good faith believes may affect the Liens or security interests granted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the Leases pledged as Collateral, the other Collateral, or Administrative Agent’s rights under any of the Loan Documents.

Following the occurrence of a Backup Servicing Trigger Event, Administrative Agent shall have the right to require that all payments made under the Leases pledged as Collateral be paid directly to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to receive, collect, hold, and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that following the occurrence of a Backup Servicing Trigger Event, Administrative Agent does not receive any renewal payment amount or return of the applicable Lease Merchandise under any of such Leases pledged as Collateral on or prior to the applicable lease renewal date, Administrative Agent may, at its election (but without any obligation to do so), request Backup Servicer to give notice of such event of default to the defaulting party or parties, and Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of such instruments, to enforce any remedies of any of such Leases pledged as Collateral that are in default and to enforce any remedies available to the holder of such Leases, with respect to such event of default. Borrower hereby further authorizes, directs, and empowers Administrative Agent (or any Person as may be designated by Administrative Agent in writing) to collect and receive all checks and drafts evidencing such payments and to endorse such checks or drafts in the name of Borrower and, upon such endorsements, to collect and receive the money therefor.

In addition, if any Servicer breaches its obligation hereunder to direct payments or proceeds of any Collateral directly to a Specified Collection Account as provided herein, Administrative Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of Administrative Agent’s officers or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay such payments and proceed or any other Collateral to the Borrower Collection Account or another account designated in writing by Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers granted pursuant to this Section 9.8 are coupled with an interest and are and shall be irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason.

9.11Verification of Use. Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to ascertain the manner in which Borrower has used or will use the proceeds of the Loan. Administrative Agent’s sole obligation shall be to advance the proceeds of the Loan subject to, and in strict accordance with, the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lenders’ obligation to fund Advances is limited to the principal amount set forth herein. It is expressly understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any responsibility or obligation whatsoever to provide to Borrower any further financing outside of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Collateral, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise, and Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than ten (10) Business Days’) prior notice to Borrower (provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required), Administrative Agent or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Lease Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession, or under the control, of Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Servicer.

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

9.13Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this Section 9.13 with respect to any Rescindable Amount unless such demand is made within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of receipt of such Rescindable Amount by the applicable Lender.

The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that this Agreement constitutes a security agreement and Administrative Agent, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under Applicable Law.

All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made by Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents, or in any other agreement, document, instrument, or certificate delivered by or on behalf of Borrower under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender and shall survive the delivery to Administrative Agent and Lenders of such Loan Documents (and each part thereof), regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or any Lender. The provisions of Sections 6.1(n), 6.1(o), 9.3, 10.2 and 11.13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof

11.3Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (EXCEPT FOR SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.

148

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

11.4Limitation on Interest. Each Lender and Borrower intend to comply at all times with all applicable usury laws. All agreements between each Lender and Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Loan and other Obligations, or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid, or agreed to be paid to the applicable Lender exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if from any circumstance such Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest on the Loan for such full period shall not exceed the highest lawful rate. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payment under the Loan Documents exceeds the highest lawful rate, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically described in the Loan Documents as “interest”), including without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges, shall, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, be deemed an expense, fee, premium, or penalty rather than interest. Each Lender hereby expressly disclaims any intent to contract for, charge, or receive interest in an amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate. The provisions of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform to the limitations and provisions of this Section 11.4, and this Section 11.4 shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement now or hereafter existing. This Section 11.4 shall never be superseded or waived unless there is a written document executed by each Lender and Borrower expressly declaring the usury limitation of this Agreement to be null and void, and no other method or language shall be effective to supersede or waive the terms of this Section 11.4.

11.5Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof or thereof, and the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction shall remain valid and enforceable in all other jurisdictions. Furthermore, in lieu of any such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents (as the case may be) a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

11.6Transferability of Loan Agreement; Loan Participations.

(a)This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that:

149

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(i)Borrower may not transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent which may be given or withheld for any reason or no reason;

(ii)a Lender may at any time transfer and assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Loan or any Advance to any Eligible Assignee; provided, that the parties to such transfer and assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; provided that Administrative Agent hereby waives such processing and recordation fee in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to Section 2.12(a); and

(iii)a Lender may at any time sell participations in any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Loan or any Advance to one or more Persons without the prior consent of Borrower (provided that so long as no Event of Default exists, no such sale of participation shall be made to a Person that is a Competitor or a DQ Lender).

For the avoidance of doubt if a Lender has more than one Commitment and elects to assign all or a portion of a Commitment, such Lender shall not be required to assign any portion of any other Commitment it holds.

In connection with any such transfer, assignment or sale or proposed transfer, assignment or sale, the applicable Lender may furnish any information concerning the Loan Documents, any Loans, Advances, or Borrower to such actual or potential transferees, assignees or participant; provided that the actual or potential transferee, assignee or participant agrees to keep all such information confidential on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Upon request, Lender agrees to provide Borrower with current tax documents to certify Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction in, United States withholding Tax.

(b)To the extent that a Lender sells a participation, Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and interest of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(c)Affiliated Lender Assignments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Loans on a non-pro rata basis to an Affiliated Lender, subject to the following limitations:

(i)With assignments to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, the Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall (A) have identified itself in writing as an Affiliated Lender to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent prior to the execution of such assignment and (B) be deemed to have represented and warranted to the assigning Term Lender and the Administrative Agent that the requirements set forth in this paragraph (i) and paragraph (ii) below, shall have been satisfied upon consummation of the applicable assignment;

150

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(ii)Non-Debt Fund Affiliates will not (A) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender (except (x) to the extent made available to the Borrower or (y) notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of the Non-Debt Fund Affiliates’ Loans required to be delivered to Lenders), (B) attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (C) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

(iii)(A) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, or any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake or refrain from undertaking any action under, any Loan Document, each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Non-Debt Fund Affiliates consented to such matter, unless the consent of all or all affected Lenders are required and it adversely affects such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate more than other Lenders in any material respect, (B) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (a “Debtor Plan”), each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby agrees (x) not to vote on such Debtor Plan, (y) if such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate does vote on such Debtor Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (x), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (z) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (y), in each case under this clause (iii)(B) unless such Debtor Plan adversely affects such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate more than other Lenders in any material respect, and (iii) each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and in the name of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (solely in respect of Loans therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this paragraph (iii), including to ensure that any vote of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate on any Debtor Plan is withdrawn or otherwise not counted;

(iv)(A) the aggregate principal amount of Loans held at any one time by Non-Debt Fund Affiliates may not exceed 10% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and (B) the number of Non-Debt Fund Affiliates in the aggregate shall at no time exceed 49% of the aggregate number of Lenders;

(v)the Affiliated Lender will not be entitled to bring actions against the Administrative Agent, in its role as such, or receive advice of counsel or other advisors to the Administrative Agent or any other Lenders or challenge the attorney client privilege of their respective counsel;

(vi)the portion of any Loans held by Affiliated Lenders in the aggregate in excess of 49.9% of the amount of Loans and Commitments required to be held by Lenders in order for such Lenders to constitute “Required Lenders” or “Class Majority Lenders” shall be disregarded in determining Required Lenders at any time; and

(vii)each Affiliated Lender that is a Lender hereunder agrees to comply with the terms of this Section 11.6(c) (notwithstanding that it may be granted access to any electronic site

151

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

established for the Lenders by the Administrative Agent), and agrees that in any subsequent assignment of all or any portion of its Loans it shall identify itself in writing to the assignee as an Affiliated Lender prior to the execution of such assignment.

11.7Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Parties; provided, that any such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which:

(a)(i) reduces or forgives any principal amount of any Loan; (ii) postpones the scheduled end of the Draw Period (other than in accordance with, and pursuant to, Section 2.6(d)(i)) or changes the Maturity Date (or any defined terms used therein); (iii) postpones the date or reduces the amount of any scheduled payment (but not prepayment) of principal of the Loan or provides for any reduction of the Commitment; (iv) postpones the date on which any interest or any fees are payable; (v) increases or decreases the interest rate borne by any of the Advances (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Advances following any Default or Event of Default) or the amount of any fees payable hereunder; (vi) extends the Maturity Date; (vii) changes in any manner or waives the provisions contained in this Section 11.6(c); (viii) changes in any manner or waives the provisions contained in Section 2.6(b); or (ix) shortens the Lockout Termination Period or the Yield Maintenance Period, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (a)(i) through (a)(ix), shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of each affected Lender and Administrative Agent;

(c)(i) changes in any manner any provisions of Section 2.7, 2.8 or 11.6(c) or Schedule 2.6(b); or (ii) changes in any manner (including by amending, modifying or waiving any component definition thereof) the definition of “Affiliated Lender”, “Borrowing Base”, “Class A Advance Rate”, “Class A Applicable Margin”, “Class A Borrowing Base”, “Class A Borrowing Base Shortfall”, “Class A Interest Rate”, “Class B-1 Advance”, “Class B-1 Advance Rate”, “Class B-1 Applicable Margin”, “Class B-1 Borrowing Base”, “Class B-1 Borrowing Base Shortfall” “Class B-1 Interest Rate”, “Class B-1 Loan”, “Class B-2 Advance”, “Class B-2 Advance Rate”, “Class B-2 Applicable Margin”, “Class B-2 Borrowing Base”, “Class B-2 Borrowing Base Shortfall”, “Class B-2 Interest Rate”, “Class B-2 Loan”, “Class C Advance Rate”, “Class C Applicable Margin”, “Class C Borrowing Base”, “Class C Borrowing Base Shortfall”, “Class C Interest Rate”, “Class IO Interest Rate”, “Class Majority Lenders”, “Debt Fund Affiliate”, “Eligible Assignee”, “Non-Debt Fund Affiliate”, “Percentage Share”, “Required Lenders” or any definition used in any of them, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii), shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of all of the Lenders and Administrative Agent;

(e)releases or terminates any of the Guaranty Agreements except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents, in each case, as in effect on the Closing Date

152

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

or the Initial Advance Date, as applicable, shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent;

(f)changes any provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend, modify or terminate any rights hereunder or make a determination or grant any consent hereunder, shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent;

(g)enter into or consent to any amendment, supplement or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which disproportionately and adversely affects any Lender hereunder or thereunder compared to the other Lenders (without taking into effect the contractual priorities established herein among the classes of Lenders and their relative rights and economic benefits set forth herein); and

(h)changes in any manner the priority of any payments (including voluntary and mandatory prepayments), Liens or proceeds of Collateral (including as a result in whole or in part of allowing the issuance or incurrence, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, of Indebtedness having any priority over any of the Obligations in respect of payments, Liens, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral), shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent.

In addition, (i) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of Lender which is the holder of that Note, provided that the amendment to definitions set forth in this Agreement shall not be subject to this clause, (ii) no increase in the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect shall be effective without the written concurrence of that Lender and the Required Lenders and (iii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 11 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of any Lenders and Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of each such Lender and Administrative Agent; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document) if Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of the Required Lenders, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of the Required Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.6(c) shall be binding upon Administrative Agent and Lenders at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by the Loan Parties, on the Loan Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Administrative Agent is expressly entitled herein to act in its discretion (whether sole discretion, Permitted Discretion or otherwise) or to grant or withhold consent, such exercise of discretion or granting or withholding of consent shall not itself constitute an amendment to or modification of this Agreement. In no event will Borrower be required to give notice to, provide reports or financial statements to, obtain consent from, receive notices from (including, without limitation, notices of Defaults or Events of Defaults) or provide inspection rights to more than a single Lender under this Agreement and Borrower is authorized to deal solely and exclusively with Administrative Agent on behalf of any Person that may hold a beneficial interest in the Loan.

153

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

11.8Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signature thereto and hereto were on the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of one or more counterparts hereof signed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile, portable document format (.pdf), or other Electronic Transmission all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart. Delivery of an executed electronic signature page of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents by facsimile, portable document format (.pdf), or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and each party to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents agrees that it will be bound by its own signature and that it accepts the facsimile, portable document format (.pdf), or other electronic signature of each other party to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by Administrative Agent of a manually signed paper Agreement or any Loan Document which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned portable format (.pdf)), or an electronically signed Agreement or any Loan Document converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Administrative Agent may, at its option, create one or more copies of such Agreement in an electronic form, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of Administrative Agent’s business, and destroy the original paper document. Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile, portable document format (.pdf), or other Electronic Transmission document or signature. The words “execution,” “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Laws, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.9Lenders Not Fiduciaries or Principals. The relationship between Borrower and each Lender hereunder is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary, principal and agent, or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, to be other than that of debtor and creditor. Nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Document shall be construed to create (and each Lender hereby expressly disclaims) any relationship of principal and agent between either of any Servicer and the Backup Servicer, on the one hand, and each Lender, on the other hand.

11.10Release and Return of Leases. In the event that the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred, then contemporaneously therewith Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower a release of the Collateral, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, redeliver to Borrower all of the originals of the outstanding Lease pledged as Collateral free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances by any Person claiming by, through, or under Administrative Agent, together with any other nonrecourse Collateral reassignment documents requested and prepared by Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances by any Person claiming by, through, or under Administrative Agent.

154

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

11.11Accounting Principles. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, the same shall be determined or made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied at the time in effect, to the extent applicable. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Required Lenders shall so request, Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended: (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; and (ii) Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent and Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

11.12Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Loan Documents, including the exhibits and schedules to them, comprise the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, may not be changed or terminated orally or by course of conduct, and shall be deemed effective as of the date hereof.

11.13Litigation. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND OR CLARIFY ANY RIGHT, POWER, REMEDY, OR DEFENSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY; AND EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS FURTHER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. FURTHER, BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER, INCLUDING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OR ANY LENDER’S COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND EACH LENDER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. The waiver and stipulations of Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender in this Section 11.13 shall survive the final payment or performance of all of the Obligations and the resulting termination of this Agreement.

155

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

11.14Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto, constitute one document and agreement that is referred to herein by the use of the defined term “Agreement.” Such exhibits and schedules are incorporated herein as though fully set out in this Agreement. The definitions contained in any part of this Agreement shall apply to all parts of this Agreement.

11.18No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants, custodians, and other professionals retained by Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Administrative Agent and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any kind or nature whatsoever to Borrower or any other Person.

11.19Confidentiality. Each of the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and each Lender, on the other hand, agrees, and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates, (i) not to transmit or disclose any Confidential Information (defined below) of the other to any Person without the prior written consent of the Loan Parties (if such disclosure is to be made by Administrative Agent or a Lender) or Administrative Agent or a Lender (if such disclosure is to be made by any Loan Party), other than disclosures by Borrower to its own Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, co-investors, potential financing sources, attorneys and accountants and for disclosures by Administrative Agent or a Lender to its own Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, co-investors, potential financing sources, any Lender’s current or prospective limited partners, attorneys and accountants, in each case who are bound by duty of confidentiality, or as required by (or deemed by such Person to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with) any Applicable Law, order, rule or regulation of or subpoena, document request or inspection by, any Governmental Authority, (ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential nature of the Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions. Administrative Agent and each Lender reserves the right to review and approve all materials that Borrower or any of its Affiliates prepares that contain Administrative Agent’s or a Lender’s name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, use Administrative Agent’s or a Lender’s name (or the name of any of Administrative Agent’s or a Lender’s Affiliates) in connection with any of its business operations, other than with respect to disclosure to lenders or investors to the extent required in connection with any financing or investment in Borrower or any other Loan Party provided such lenders or investors agree to abide by the terms of this Section 11.19.

Any other transaction or relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent or a Lender shall be evidenced by other documentation, shall be separate and independent from the Obligations, and shall have no effect on Borrower’s obligations to Administrative Agent or each Lender with respect to the Loan or Administrative Agent’s or each Lender’s remedies under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no discussions or oral agreements heretofore or hereafter occurring between Borrower and Administrative Agent or a Lender shall have any legal effect unless embodied in a written agreement executed by all relevant parties. Furthermore, no other written agreement between the parties and their Affiliates and the performance of the parties thereunder shall have any legal effect whatsoever on Borrower’s obligations or Administrative Agent’s or each Lender’s remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

11.21No Offset. Borrower understands and agrees that, subject to Section 2.10 with respect to Taxes, Borrower’s payment obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are absolute and unconditional without any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense for any reason against Administrative Agent or Lenders notwithstanding any damage to, defects in or destruction of any Collateral or any other event. Except as expressly provided for herein, Borrower hereby waives (a) demand, presentment, protest, all defenses and (b) any rights of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and demands of any description.

11.22Waiver of Consequential Damages. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

11.23Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

11.24Administrative Agent’s Discretion.

(a)In every instance in the Loan Documents where Administrative Agent has discretion to review or approve of any aspect of the Leases pledged as Collateral, the Lease-Merchandise Lessees, the Lease Decisioning Guidelines, or any other policies or procedures related to initiation, administration and servicing of the Leases, Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent has no duty of any kind to Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Lease-Merchandise Lessees with respect to any aspect of the underwriting, initiation, administration or servicing of the Leases in accordance with Applicable Laws, and that such duty remains solely the responsibility of Borrower and each other Loan Party. Borrower agrees that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party are relying on, or will rely on, any legal, underwriting or other advice of Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

(b)Each of Administrative Agent and the Class Majority Lenders shall have the unilateral right to remove any state as an Applicable State upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Action with respect to such state; provided, however, that with Administrative Agent’s and the Required Lenders’ consent, which may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion, such state may be reinstated as an Applicable State upon (i) the favorable resolution of such Regulatory Action in such state, or (ii)

159

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

further consultation with Borrower with respect to such Regulatory Action, and Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders taking into account, among other things, the specific circumstances underlying such Regulatory Action and any other fact or circumstance Borrower, Administrative Agent or Required Lenders may consider relevant to the determination in connection with the Sellers’ historical lease initiation, holding, servicing and/or collection activities; provided further, to the extent that any Ineligible Lease would have been an Eligible Lease but for Administrative Agent or Required Lenders’ removal of an Applicable State pursuant hereto, such Ineligible Lease shall be deemed an Eligible Lease for twenty (20) calendar days from and after the date of such removal.

11.25Not a Security. Each party hereto hereby represents and warrants to the other party that (a) each party does not consider the rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document to constitute the “purchase” or “sale” of a “security” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Rule l0b-5 promulgated thereunder, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, or any other applicable securities statute or law, as amended and in effect from time to time, or any rule or regulation under any of the foregoing, (b) each party has no expectation that it will derive profits from the efforts of the other party or any third party in respect of the rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document, and (c) this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents merely constitute a commercial transaction by such party with the other party and do not represent an “investment” (as that term is commonly understood) in the other party.

11.26Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by BasePoint Capital II, LLC (“Administrator”), not individually or personally but solely as administrator of BP Commercial Funding Trust III, Series SPL-VI, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and a Lender, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under that certain Trust Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2023, and Series Trust Supplement No. 6 thereto, dated as of July 17, 2024 (collectively, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time), (b) any representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of BP Commercial Funding Trust III, Series SPL-VI, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and/or a Lender, are made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Administrator but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only BP Commercial Funding Trust III, Series SPL-VI, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and a Lender, as the case may be, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Administrator, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either express or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and any person or entity claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, and (d) under no circumstances shall Administrator be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of BP Commercial Funding Trust III, Series SPL-VI, in its capacity as Administrative Agent or a Lender, hereto or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by BP Commercial Funding Trust III, Series SPL-VI, in its capacity as Administrative Agent or a Lender, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the other related documents or otherwise.

Section 12ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

12.1Appointment of Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Administrative Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Loan Documents, and take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

12.2Rights as a Lender. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder is also a “Lender”, such Person shall have the same rights and powers in such capacity(ies) as any other Person in such capacity(ies) and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender.

12.3Exculpatory Provisions. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(a)No Fiduciary Duties. Shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

161

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(b)No Obligations Regarding Certain Actions. Shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Documents, as applicable); provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and

(c)Disclosure Obligations. Shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(d)Limitation on Liability. Shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.1 and Section 11.6(c)); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties under the terms of the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default, unless and until Borrower, any other Loan Party, or a Lender provides written notice to Administrative Agent describing such Default.

(e)No Further Inquiry. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default; (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

(f)Reimbursement by Lenders; Indemnification.

(i)If Borrower for any reason fails to pay when due any amount that it is required to pay under Section 6.1(o) to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Indemnified Lender Party of Administrative Agent, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Indemnified Lender Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Percentage Shares (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Indemnified Lender Party of Administrative Agent acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(ii)Each Lender, severally and not (A) jointly or (B) jointly and severally, agrees to reimburse and indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or any other Loan Party), ratably according to its respective Percentage Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 12.3(f)(ii) of the total outstanding Obligations

162

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Advances shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with its Percentage Share immediately prior to such date of the total outstanding Obligations), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 12.3(f) shall survive the Discharge of Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

12.4Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a specified Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts it selects and shall not be liable for any action it takes or does not take in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

12.5Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents it appoints. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the actions or inactions of any sub-agent.

12.6Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank, or a Lender or a participant which would qualify as an Eligible Assignee, or an Affiliate of any such bank, or an Affiliate of a Lender or a participant which would qualify as an Eligible Assignee; provided, that no consultation of Borrower shall be required at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a

163

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)At any time, the Required Lenders may, by notice in writing to Borrower and to the Person that is then the Administrative Agent, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 6.1(o) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

12.7Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a)Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)Each Lender acknowledges that, in addition to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may be engaged in other transactions with any of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and each Lender hereby waives any conflict that may result from Administrative Agent acting as an administrative agent under other credit facilities with Parent and/or any of its Affiliates or as a direct or indirect equity holder of Parent.

164

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

12.8Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 6.1(o)) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 6.1(o). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

12.9Collateral Matters.

(a)Directions by Lenders. Each Lender hereby, irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent: (i) to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of such Person; (ii) without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any such Person from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (iii) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (A) upon the Discharge of Secured Obligations; (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any asset sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (C) subject to Section 11.6(c), if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.9.

(b)Certain Actions by Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 12.9(a)(iii) and Section 12.9(a)(iv), Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release or subordination of Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided that: (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms that, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty; and (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with

165

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(c)No Obligations Regarding Certain Actions. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or in any of the Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section 12.9 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders.

(d)Appointment of Lenders as Agents. Each Lender hereby appoints each other such Person as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s or such Person’s security interest in assets that, in accordance with Article 9 or Division 9 (as applicable) of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should any such Person (other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Person shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

(e)Credit Bidding. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at any time upon the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations in any foreclosure sale relating to the Collateral. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Laws to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

(f)Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender authorizes and instructs Administrative Agent to enter into the Specified Collection Accounts Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Lenders and to take all actions (and executed all documents) required (or deemed advisable) by it in accordance with the terms of the Specified Collection Accounts Intercreditor Agreement as in effect on the Initial Advance Date.

12.10Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Advances, the Commitments or this Agreement,

166

[Aaron’s] ABL Agreement

(ii)the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
