Workers (including single workers) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
United States Department of Labor (1957-59=100) hereinafter referred to as
"Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index." The rent for each lease year,
or part thereof should the term sooner expire, shall be increased by an amount
which shall bear the same proportion to the rent as the Bureau of Labor
Statistics Consumer Price Index for the calendar year preceding the commencement
of such one-year period bears to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price
Index for the year of the commencement date of this Lease. These increases are
cumulative from year to year. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics changes the form

parties agree that payments hereunder shall be calculated from the most recent
cost of living index statistics published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

which continues for ten (10)
9
days after Lessor serves a written notice upon Lessee specifying such default,
or if lessee defaults in any one or more of the events referred to in (2) or (3)
above, then upon Lessor's serving a fifteen-day (15-day) written notice upon
Lessee specifying the nature of said default and upon the expiration of said
fifteen (15) days, if Lessee shall have failed to comply with or remedy such
default, or if said default or omission complained of shall be of such a nature
that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said fifteen-day
(15-day) period, and if Lessee shall not have diligently commenced curing such
default within such fifteen-day (15-day) period, and shall not thereafter with
reasonable diligence and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such default,
then Lessor may serve a written fifteen-day (15-day) notice of cancellation of
this Lease Agreement upon Lessee and upon the expiration of said fifteen (15)
days, this Lease Agreement and the term hereunder shall end and expire as fully
and completely as if the date of expiration of such fifteen-day (15-day) period
were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this Lease
Agreement and the term thereof and Lessee shall then quit and surrender the
demised premises to Lessor but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter
provided.
(b) If the fifteen-day (15-day) notice of cancellation provided for in
(a) hereof shall have been given and the term shall expire as aforesaid; or if
Lessee shall make default after ten (10) days notice and the payment of the rent
set forth herein or any item of additional rent herein mentioned, then and in
any of such events, Lessor may without further notice re-enter the demised
premises either by force or otherwise and dispossess Lessee by summary
proceedings or otherwise, and the legal representatives of Lessee or other
occupant of the demised premises and remove their effects and hold the premises
as if this Lease Agreement had not been made, but Lessee shall remain liable
hereunder as hereinafter provided and Lessee hereby waives the service of notice
of intention to re-enter or institute legal proceeding to that end.
Section 16.2 Rent Deficiency.
In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration and/or
dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the rent and additional rent
shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, or
dispossess together with such expenses as Lessor may incur for legal expenses,
attorney's fees, brokerage, and/or putting the demised premises in good order or
for preparing the same for re-rental; (b) Lessor may re-let the premises or any
part or parts
10
thereof, either in the name of Lessor or otherwise for a term or terms, which
may at Lessor's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise
have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease Agreement and may grant
concessions or free rent and/or (c) Lessee or the legal representatives of
Lessee shall also pay Lessor's liquidated damages for the failure of Lessee to
observe and perform said Lessee's covenants herein contained, any deficiency
between the rents and additional rents hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be
paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected or to be collected on
account of the lease or leases of the demised premises for each month of the
period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this
Lease Agreement. The failure or refusal of Lessor to re-let the premises or any
part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Lessee's liability for damages
although Lessor shall be under a duty to exercise diligence and good faith in an
effort to re-let the same and mitigate Lessor's damages. In computing such
damages, there shall be added to said deficiency such expenses as Lessor may
incur in connection with re-letting such as legal expenses, attorney's fees,
brokerage, and for keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing
the same for re-letting. Any such damages shall be paid in monthly installments
by Lessee on the rent date specified in this Lease Agreement and any suit
brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not
prejudice in any way the rights of Lessor to collect the deficiency for any
subsequent month or months by a similar proceeding. Lessor may at Lessor's
option make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in the
demised premises as Lessor in Lessor's sole judgment considers advisable and
necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises; and the making of
such alterations and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release
Lessee from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Lessor shall in no event be liable
in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises provided Lessor
makes a good faith effort to re-let the same, or in the event that the demised
premises are re-let for failure to collect the rent thereunder provided
reasonable diligence is used in an attempt to collect such rent. Any such action
against Lessee may be an action for the full amounts of all rents and damages
suffered or to be suffered by Lessor. In the event of a breach or threatened
breach by Lessee of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Lessor shall
have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law
or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not
herein provided for. Mention in this Lease Agreement of any particular remedy
shall not
11
preclude Lessor from any other remedy, in law or in equity, the foregoing
remedies and rights of Lessor are cumulative. Lessee hereby expressly waives
any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future
laws in the event of Lessee being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or
in the event of Lessor obtaining possession of the demised premises, by
reason of the violation by Lessee of any of the covenants and conditions
of this Lease Agreement or otherwise.
Section 16.3 Default by Lessor.
Should Lessor default in Lessor's duty to pay taxes,
insurance, and debt service payments to Crestar Bank and in its obligation to
maintain the roof, Lessee shall have and enjoy, in addition to any other rights
under this Lease or under common law or by statute, have and enjoy the right to
divert rent payments hereunder from Lessor to pay directly taxes, insurance
required to be maintained by Lessor, bank payments at Crestar Bank or to
necessary roof repairs. Provided, however, the Lessee's right to divert rent
payments for roof repairs shall be conditioned upon Lessee's reasonable notice
to Lessor of the necessity for repairs and upon Lessor's failure to make
such repairs in a commercially reasonable time.

ARTICLE XIX. OPTION GRANTED LESSEE
Section 19.1
Lessee shall have the option to purchase the property from
Lessor at the end of the fifth (5th) year of the lease term, at the end of the
tenth (10th) year of the lease term, at the end of the fifteenth (15th) year of
the lease term, and at the end of the lease term. If Lessee desires to exercise
the option to purchase, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing not less than six
(6) months prior to the expiration of the term of years designating the option
dates. For example, if Lessee desires to exercise its option to purchase the
property at the end of the fifth (5th) year of the lease, then, Lessee shall so
notify Lessor, in writing, which writing shall be delivered to Lessor, at least
six (6) months prior to the expiration of the fifth (5th) year. If Lessee
delivers a timely notice to Lessor of its exercise of its option to purchase,
the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to reach an agreeable
purchase price. If the parties cannot reach an agreeable purchase price, either
party may elect to have the purchase price determined in accordance with this
paragraph. If the parties cannot agree upon a purchase price and either party
nevertheless wishes to proceed with Lessee's purchase, then the purchase price
shall be determined by the average of two appraisals of the property with one
appraisal being performed by an appraiser of Lessor's choice and one appraisal
being performed by an appraiser of Lessee's choice. Such appraisers shall be
persons experienced and knowledgeable in the field and each party shall bear the
expense of the appraisal conducted by such party. The average of the two
appraisals shall equal the purchase price unless either party elects to have the
purchase price determined by the addition of another appraisal, in which event
such party shall solely bear the cost of such
13
appraisal and the appraisal shall be conducted by a third party selected by the
two appraisers selected by the parties. Upon the completion of such appraisal,
the appraisal amount shall be added to the other two appraisals and the average
so determined shall equal the purchase price and shall be binding upon both of
the parties. In the event the Lessee exercises the option to purchase, then
Lessee shall tender the purchase price within thirty (30) days of the
determination of the purchase price in accordance with this paragraph.
Section 19.2
Lessee shall have the right to make alterations to the
premises. Such right shall be conditioned upon Lessee obtained
Lessor's approval, which said approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Lessee's request for Lessor's approval shall be in writing and Lessor's response
to Lessee shall be in writing. If alterations are made by Lessee, at Lessee's
expense, and said alterations increase the value of the property, such increase
in value shall be taken into account in determining the purchase price of the
property. To the extent that Lessee's improvements to the leased premises
enhance or increase the purchase price which Lessee must pay Lessor for such
leased premises, then Lessee shall receive a reduction in the purchase price
determined in accordance with Section 19.1 of Article XIX. The amount of the
reduction in the purchase price on account of Lessee's improvements or
alterations shall depend upon the cost of the improvement or alteration, the
nature of the improvement or alteration, and the date such improvement or
alteration is made and the extent, if any, to which such alteration is
depreciated by Lessee. Such reduction in purchase price shall be determined
initially by negotiation between the parties and if the parties cannot reach an
acceptable determination between themselves, the same shall be determined by the
appraisers appointed in accordance with Section 19.1 of Article XIX.
Section 19.3
Upon the exercise of the option granted Lessee in Section 19.1
of Article XIX, the parties shall prorate real estate taxes in the year of the
exercise of the option. Upon closing of the transaction, Lessor shall be
responsible to deliver to Lessee a deed, in proper form to be approved by
Lessee's attorney, conveying the property in fee simple with general warranty of
title from Lessor to Lessee. Lessor shall furnish Lessee with the deed at
Lessor's cost and Lessor shall pay such recording costs of the deed as are
customary for grantors or sellers to pay
14
Under Virginia law. Lessee shall be responsible to obtain and pay for such title
insurance or examination of title as Lessee may deem necessary.
ARTICLE XX. SUBORDINATION
Section 21.1

the terms and conditions of Lessor's deed of trust as executed with Lessor's
lending institution and is further subject to the security interest of that
lending institution.
