STOCK PURCHASE AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT


This STOCK PURCHASE AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT, dated as of November 3, 2000
(this "Agreement"), is made and entered into by and among READING ENTERTAINMENT,
INC., a Nevada corporation ("Reading"), FA, INC., a Nevada corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Reading ("FA"), CITADEL HOLDING CORPORATION, a Nevada
corporation ("Citadel"), and CRAIG CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("Craig"
and, collectively with Reading, FA and Citadel, the "Stockholders"), on the one
hand, and NATIONAL AUTO CREDIT, INC., a Delaware corporation ("NAC" or the
"Company"), on the other hand.

WHEREAS, certain disputes and differences have arisen between the Company
and Sam J. Frankino, a former executive officer and current director and
stockholder of the Company ("Frankino"), and certain of his affiliates
(collectively, the "Frankino Parties"), which disputes have resulted in
litigation styled National Auto Credit, Inc. v. Sam J. Frankino, C.A. No. 17973
and Sam J. Frankino v. David L. Huber, et al., C.A. No. 17984, both pending in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (collectively referred to herein
as the "Actions"); and

WHEREAS, the Frankino Parties and the Company wish to enter into a
settlement agreement in the form attached as Attachment A to this Agreement (the
------------
"Settlement Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, (i) all disputes
between the Company and the Frankino Parties, including the Actions, will be
settled without the admission of fault by any of them and (ii) the Company will
repurchase all of the shares of common stock, par value $.05 per share, of the
Company ("Company Common Stock") beneficially owned by the Frankino Parties; and

WHEREAS, the Stockholders own an aggregate of 10,055,000 shares of Company
Common Stock (the "Common Shares") and 100 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.05 per share, of the Company (the "Preferred
Shares" and, together with the Common Shares, the "Shares") and, absent the
repurchase by the Company of certain of the Shares, as contemplated hereby, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Agreement would
have the effect of vesting ownership of shares representing a majority of the
voting power of the Company in the Stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Stockholders support the execution of the Settlement Agreement
by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby and desire to assist the Company in its efforts to resolve
the disputes between it and the Frankino Parties, including the Actions; and

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Company desires to acquire
from FA and FA is willing to sell to the Company Five Million Two Hundred
Seventy-Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Nine (5,277,879) of the Common
Shares and all 100 of the Preferred Shares (collectively, the "Subject Shares"),
upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, such that at
the time of the purchase of the Subject Shares, and after

giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, the
Stockholders shall own an aggregate of 33% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis (based on the number of shares
of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof, assuming the
prior exercise, conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of any options,
warrants, rights to acquire and securities convertible into or exchangeable for
such Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof, and after
taking into account the repurchase by the Company of the Common Shares owned by
the Frankino Parties, which repurchase is occurring simultaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement); and

WHEREAS, the Stockholders are willing to agree to certain restrictions
regarding the shares of the Company Common Stock they will continue to own
following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the promises
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Stockholders and the Company
hereby agree as follows:

1. Repurchase of Subject Shares.

the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Closing"), which

Company, and the Company shall acquire from FA, the Subject Shares at a purchase
price equal to the sum of (a) Seven Million Nine Hundred Sixteen Thousand Nine
Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars and Fifty Cents ($7,916,968.50) ($1.50 per Subject
Share) and (b) an interest factor accruing from April 5, 2000 to the date of the
Closing at the simple annual rate of 12% (collectively, the "Purchase Price").

(b) At the Closing (A) the Company shall deliver to FA (i) the
Purchase Price, in immediately available United States Dollars, by wire transfer
to a bank account designated by FA, and (ii) an irrevocable instruction to its
transfer agent to issue a certificate representing 1,484,368 Common Shares,
representing the Common Shares in excess of the Subject Shares represented by
the Certificate (defined hereinbelow), duly executed by the Company in
contemplation of delivery of the same to FA at Closing hereunder (the "Excess

"Certificate") representing 6,762,247 Common Shares, duly endorsed or
accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank and otherwise in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company for transfer on the books of the Company
and (ii) such other instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by
the Company to evidence its purchase of the Subject Shares. At the Closing,
subject to the delivery of the Purchase Price in accordance with this Paragraph,
FA shall simultaneously sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the
Company, and the Company shall purchase, acquire and accept from FA, good and
valid title to the Subject Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges
or other encumbrances (collectively, "Liens").
