Under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, if Tenant(s) default with any provision of the Lease Agreement, or the statutory obligations, Landlord may terminate the Lease Agreement, and may apply all or part of the security deposit to the payment of accrued rent and the amount of any damages which have been suffered, which includes but is not limited to physical damages, appropriate charges to Tenant(s) not previously reimbursed to Landlord, actual damages for breach of the Lease Agreement, attorneys fees and costs. Within forty five (45) days after termination of the tenancy and return of possession of the premises by Tenant(s) to Landlord, Landlord will provide Tenant(s) with an itemized listing of all deductions made from the security deposit, and with payment of amount due Tenant(s). If Tenant(s) comply with all terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement and with the applicable statutory obligations, Landlord will return to Tenant(s) the security deposit, together with any accrued interest as is required by law, within forty five (45) days after termination of the tenancy and return of possession of the premises to Landlord by Tenant(s). b. Forwarding Address. Tenant(s) must provide Landlord written notice prior to vacating the apartment premises of the forwarding address so that Landlord can forward to Tenant(s) the security deposit disposition statement prior to the end of the forty five (45) day statutory period. If Tenant(s) fail to give notice of a forwarding address, Landlord will send the security deposit statement to the last known address of Tenant(s), but will retain the security deposit refund, if any, until Tenant(s) notify Agent of the appropriate address. c. Multiple Tenants. Where more than one Tenant signed the Lease Agreement, a violation or deduction to be made is joint and several, and the Landlord is not liable for any understanding that may exist between two or more Tenant(s) as to the portion of the security deposit that one Tenant may be entitled to, as opposed to another Tenant. Landlord will draw one check, payable to all Tenants jointly, and forward same to the forwarding address provided to Landlord by written notice as required herein. d. Move-Out Inspection. Under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, the Landlord must make reasonable efforts to provide Tenant(s) with notice of a right to be present at the time of the move-out inspection. Landlord will include in the vacating notice sufficient language to inform Tenant(s) of this right to be present. Tenant(s) must make a written request to Landlord to be present at such an inspection, and Landlord will notify Tenant(s) of the inspection times which must occur within 72 hours of the termination of the tenancy.

Tenant(s) have no right to apply the security deposit to the rental payment for the last month of the term of this Lease Agreement. f. Landlord s Successor Obligated for Security Deposit. If Landlord in any way transfers its interests in the premises, or if Agent transfers the management of the premises to a third party, Agent may transfer the security deposit to the transferee and is thereafter released from all liability for the return of the security deposit to Tenant(s). If such a transfer occurs, Tenant(s) agree to look to the transferee solely for the return of the security deposit and to release Landlord and/or Agent, as may be appropriate, from all obligations, and liability relating thereto. g. Physical Damages to Premises. The Damage Addendum, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, establishes a tentative schedule of standard deductions to be utilized by Landlord in assessing charges against Tenant(s) for physical damages done to the apartment, with the exception of reasonable wear and tear. Landlord reserves the right to alter the said schedule if the repair costs should become higher than those listed thereon. Landlord further reserves the right to assess against Tenant(s) for such damages the actual costs of the materials and repairs, if there is a variance between the tentative schedule and the actual bill for such materials and repairs. The Damage Addendum also establishes the tentative schedule for charges to be made by Landlord against Tenant(s) during the term of the tenancy for any damages as may occur. 3. RENT. a. Rent Payments. The total rent for the initial term of this agreement is as set out in Paragraph 1(e) and (f) of this Lease Agreement. Additionally, all payments (with the exception of the security deposit) from Tenant to Landlord required under the terms of this lease, including court costs, late fees and damages pursuant to section 2(g) of this lease agreement, shall be deemed rent. The monthly rental payments are payable in advance, without demand, and in full without proration or setoff, on the first day of each calendar month at the office of the Agent, or at such other places as Landlord may designate by advance written notice to Tenant(s). In the case of multiple Tenants, Landlord shall accept only one payment for the monthly rent. b. Late Payment. If the rental payment is received by Landlord after the fifth (5th) day of any calendar month, a late penalty of five percent (5%) of the amount of the monthly rental will be assessed against the Tenant(s). Any rental payment received after legal action has been initiated by the Landlord will be accepted with reservation and will be applied to delinquent rent due, but will not affect any legal action instituted by the Landlord against the Tenant(s) to recover delinquent rent and possession of the premises. c. Returned Checks. If a rent payment made by check is returned by a bank for any reason (including, but not limited to, insufficient funds, errors on the check, and a stop-payment order), Tenant(s) shall be subject to a service charge of $25.00 in addition to other charges set forth below. Tenant(s) shall replace the returned check with a money order, certified check, or cashier s check payable to the Landlord. Landlord is not required to redeposit a returned check. If Tenant(s) check is returned after the 5th day of the month or if Tenant(s) check is not made good prior to the 5th day of the month in the form of a money order, certified check or cashier s check, the payment shall be considered late, and in addition to the above charges, Tenant shall pay the late fee as provided for in Section 3(b) of this Lease Agreement. Landlord reserves the right to require future rent payments to be in the form of a money order or certified check. 4. INSPECTION AND CONDITION OF THE APARTMENT.

Tenant(s) are responsible for obtaining their own electric and gas services, and shall pay any deposits required by these utility companies. Landlord reserves the right to sub-meter these two services. Landlord, through an affiliated company, has sub-metered the water services for which Tenant(s) will receive a monthly billing. Landlord cannot disconnect the water service for nonpayment by Tenant(s), but the monthly billings constitute additional rent, as provided in this Lease Agreement under Paragraph 19.

Tenant(s) agrees to maintain electric service and/or heat in the premises, as the case may be, at all times throughout the tenancy to prevent any damages from occurring to the leased premises. 7. PERSONAL PROPERTY OF RESIDENT(S). a. All personal property placed on the apartment premises, storage rooms, or in any other part of Landlord s property, shall be at the sole risk of Tenant(s) or the parties owning the same, and Landlord shall not be liable for the loss, destruction, theft of, or damage to such property. Tenant(s) hereby agree to maintain at Tenant(s) sole cost and expense, renter s form homeowners insurance coverage providing for personal liability (bodily injury and property damage) coverage with a limit of not less than $100,000 each occurrence and $1,000 in medical payment coverage, with the policy naming Allen and Rocks, Inc., and the owner of the rental community (as stated on the last page of this Lease Agreement) as additional insureds; and further, providing coverage to keep Tenant s personal property on and in the Premises insured for the benefit of Tenant against loss or damage resulting from broad form named perils on a replacement cost basis. b. Any items of personal property which are left in or about the apartment premises, after Tenant(s) vacate the premises will be considered abandoned property and will be disposed of by Agent if not claimed by Tenant(s) within the one month period following the termination of tenancy and delivery of possession, provided that a 10 day notice to the last known address of the Tenant(s), address correction requested, is given pursuant to Section :1 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, the applicable section of the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. 8.

Tenant(s) agree that, during any such absence from the apartment premises, Landlord may enter the apartment at times reasonably necessary to protect the apartment and any property belonging to Landlord on the premises. If Tenant(s) fail to give such notice, Landlord may treat the premises as having been abandoned, and may recover any actual damages sustained. 9. LANDLORD S INABILITY TO DELIVER POSSESSION TO RESIDENTS. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the apartment premises to Tenant(s) on the beginning date of this Lease Agreement, through no fault of the Landlord, Landlord is not liable to Tenant(s) for any damages other than to rebate any rent paid by Tenant(s) in advance and to return any security deposit which has been paid by Tenant(s). If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the apartment unit or provide Tenant(s) with a similar apartment unit acceptable to Tenant(s) within fifteen (15) days of the beginning date of this Lease Agreement, this Agreement can be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant(s) by the giving of notice as provided herein. 10. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Landlord and Agent are not liable for matters outside the dominion or control of Landlord or Agent so long as there is no negligence on their parts, including but not limited to: failure of utilities or services; acts of God; and any injuries or damages to persons or property either caused by or resulting from falling plaster, dampness, overflow, or leakage upon or into the apartment of water, rain, snow, ice, sewage, steam, gas, or electricity, or by any breakage in or malfunction of pipes, plumbing, fixtures, air conditioners, or appliances, or leakage, breakage, or obstruction of soil pipes, nor for any injury or damage from any other cause. Landlord and Agent, in addition, shall not be liable under any circumstances of Tenant(s) failure to provide Landlord with prompt notice of any such conditions existing in the apartment premises, or on the apartment community. Tenant(s) hereby release Landlord and Agent from any and all such liability and to indemnify Landlord and Agent for such losses, with respect to Tenant(s), and all invitees of Tenant(s). 11. CASUALTY DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION. If the premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty of the extent that the Tenant(s) enjoyment thereof is substantially impaired, and Tenant(s) are not at fault for said casualty, than Tenant(s) may immediately vacate the premises and notify Landlord in writing of an intention to terminate the Lease Agreement within fourteen (14) days thereafter. If the premises are only partially uninhabitable, Landlord will make an appropriate abatement of all or part of the rental payment until such time as Landlord can fully restore the premises to its original condition. In the event that Landlord and Tenant(s) cannot agree as to the question of habitability, the decision of the building inspector for the locality where the apartment community is located will control in this regard. Landlord reserves the right to proceed legally to remove Tenant(s) from the premises if same are uninhabitable and unsafe for continued occupancy. If the Tenant(s) were at fault as far as the casualty is concerned, Landlord reserves the right to proceed legally against Tenant(s) to recover damages for the said casualty. Where the Tenant(s) are determined by Landlord to be at fault as far as the casualty is concerned, Landlord additionally reserves the right to require the Tenant(s) to vacate the premises immediately, giving up all rights to continue possession of the premises, and the right to terminate the tenancy and remove the Tenant(s) from the premises by the institution of an unlawful detainer action in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the premises, or any part thereof, are taken by a governmental agency or authority, this Agreement may be terminated at the option of the Landlord. Tenant(s) expressly waive the right to participate in any proceeds, and the right to claim any damages as a result of such condemnation. 12. DAMAGE TO PREMISES In case of damage to the Premises by fire or the elements (not caused by the fault, omission, negligence or other misconduct of Tenant, Tenant s family, employees, agents or guests), the Landlord will repair the damage, the rent being suspended only for such time as the Premises, in the sole opinion of Landlord will repair the damage, the rent being suspended only for such time as the Premises, in the sole opinion of Landlord, shall remain untenantable; but if the Premises are so damaged that the Landlord shall decide that it is not advisable to repair the Premises with the Tenant occupying same, this Lease shall terminate and the Tenant shall only be liable for rent to the date of damage. If the damage to the Premises is caused by the fault, omission, negligence or other misconduct of Tenant, Tenant s family, employees, agents or guests, Landlord may terminate Tenant s occupancy of the Premises and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for the rent through what would have been the expiration date of this Lease, or any renewal or extension thereof, had Tenant s possession not been so terminated and shall further remain liable for any other injury or loss incurred by Landlord as a result of such damage, such liability to include a subrogation claim by Landlord s insurer. 13. LANDLORD S RIGHT OF ACCESS TO PREMISES. Agent has the right to enter the Premises at any time by master key or by force, if necessary, to inspect the Premises, to make repairs/alterations to the Premises or elsewhere on Landlord s property, to enforce any provision of this lease Agreement, or to show the Premises to prospective future tenants or purchasers, except where impossible to do so.

3 15. REPRESENTATIONS IN THE APPLICATION. The Lease Agreement was entered into based upon the representations of Tenant(s) contained in the Rental Application. If any of those representations are found to be misleading, incorrect or untrue, Landlord may immediately terminate the Agreement and notify Tenant(s) to vacate the premises. 16. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. If the Landlord is required to pay money or other consideration to Tenant(s), Tenant(s) agree that such financial obligation(s) will be satisfied solely from the Landlord s estate and interest in the apartment community, and the real estate upon which the said premises are situated, and the improvements of which it is a part, or the proceeds thereof, so that Landlord, and its Agent, will incur no individual liability for such financial obligations. 17. NOTICE. All notices shall be given in accordance with Section of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, the applicable provision of the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which provides for written notice to be given by regular mail or by hand delivery, with the party giving notice retaining a certificate of mailing, or delivery of the Notice, as the case may be. Notice to the Landlord or Agent will be given to Allen & Rocks, Inc., Agent for Landlord, at the Rental Office or to such other place as may be specified. Notice to Tenant(s) will be given to the address of the apartment premises. 18. CIVILIAN EMPLOYMENT TRANSFERS. a. Landlord agrees that Tenant(s) may terminate the Lease Agreement if Tenant(s) place of employment changes permanently to a location which is at least thirtyfive (35) miles or more in a direct line from the community. A change in employment may occur either by Tenant(s) being transferred by a present employer, or by Tenant(s) accepting new employment. b. If Tenant(s) so terminate, then Tenant(s) will pay an early termination fee to Agent of one month s rent. c. In order for Tenant(s) notice of termination to be effective, Landlord must receive one full month s written notice to run from the first day of the month to the last day of the same month, in accordance with the notice provisions in the Lease Agreement, in Paragraph #17. d. Tenant(s) agree to provide Landlord with an official confirmation from the employer of the permanent change in employment, which official confirmation shall be provided to Landlord at the time Tenant(s) give notice as provided herein. Nothing herein shall preclude Landlord from confirming such permanent change in employment with employer, as Landlord feels necessary. e. Early termination dates shall be no more than one month prior to the reporting date at the employment location. f. If Tenant(s) fail to vacate the apartment premises on or before the date specified in Tenant(s) notice of termination, Landlord may: i. Declare the termination notice null and void which operates to maintain the Lease Agreement in full force and effect; and ii. Seek reimbursement from Tenant(s) for any expenses or other damages, incurred as a result of Landlord s reliance upon Tenant(s) notice of termination as further specified in Paragraph 20 of this Lease Agreement. g. In addition to the other requirements of this paragraph, notice of termination under these provisions is only operative if Tenant(s) are current in all monthly rental installments to Landlord. 19. CANCELLATION. Landlord or Tenant(s) may terminate this Agreement effective at the end of the initial term of this Agreement or at the end of any subsequent term, upon one full month s written notice to vacate to run from the first day of the month to the last day of the same month. Tenant(s), in addition to providing sufficient notice to Landlord of an intention to terminate, must be current in rental payments; must surrender possession of the apartment premises in good condition, with the exception of reasonable wear and tear; and must pay for all damages or assessments for damages made by the Landlord against the Tenant(s) in accordance with the schedule for physical damages contained in the Damage Addendum, other provisions of this agreement, or as Landlord shall see fit. If no such notice to cancel is given, the term of this Lease Agreement shall be extended for self-renewing one-month terms until either party gives notice to cancel in accordance herewith, unless terminated in accordance with any other applicable provision of this Lease Agreement, or Virginia Law. 20. ACTION BY LANDLORD UPON DEFAULT BY TENANT(S). Under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, in Section of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, the Landlord may terminate during the term of the Lease upon one of the following: a. Material Noncompliance by Tenant(s) Failing to Pay Rent When Due. The Tenant(s) rent is due and payable on the first (1st) day of each calendar month. If Tenant(s) fail to pay such rent due after Landlord has served a five (5) day material noncompliance notice for failure to pay rent, Tenant(s) are in default, and Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement in accordance with law. b. Material Noncompliance by Tenant(s) Which Can Be Remedied Within 21 Days. If Tenant(s) commit this type of material noncompliance, Landlord may serve on Tenant(s) a material noncompliance notice stating that if Tenant(s) do not remedy the specified non-compliance(s) within twenty-one (21) days, if the noncompliance(s) be remediable at all, the Landlord will terminate this Lease Agreement in thirty (30) days. c. Material Noncompliance by Tenant(s) Previously Remedied, But Repeated by Tenant(s). If Tenant(s) have been served with a prior written notice which required Tenant(s) to remedy a breach, and Tenant(s) remedied such breach, where Tenant(s) intentionally commit a subsequent breach of a like nature as the prior breach, Landlord may serve on Tenant(s) a thirty (30) day Termination Notice. Such notice must make reference to the prior breach of a like nature and state that the lease will terminate in thirty (30) days for the reasons stated therein which constitute a good cause for termination of the tenancy. d. Material Noncompliance By Tenant(s) Which Cannot Be remedied/illegal Drug Violations. If Tenant(s) commit a material noncompliance which is not remediable, Landlord may serve on Tenant(s) a termination notice stating that the Lease will terminate in thirty (30) days for the reasons stated therein which constitute a good cause for termination of the tenancy. If a breach of Tenant(s) obligations under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, or the Lease Agreement involves or constitutes a criminal or willful act, which is not remediable and which poses a threat to health or safety, the Landlord may terminate the Lease Agreement immediately and proceed to obtain possession of the premises as provided in Section of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. Tenant(s) acknowledge that any actions which involve or constitute a criminal or willful act, including but not limited to possession or distribution of illegal drugs and crimes against persons or property, will result in immediate termination separate and apart from any criminal proceedings which may be applicable. Under Virginia law, Tenant(s) are responsible for the acts or conduct of their guests, invitees or occupants, which includes but is not limited to illegal drug and other criminal activity. Landlord will aggressively enforce the Lease Agreement and all available remedies under local, state and federal laws to address illegal drug and other criminal activity in and about the apartment community. e. Material Noncompliance By Tenant(s) Which Can Be Remedied By Repairs, Cleaning, or Replacement. If Tenant(s) commit a material noncompliance which could be remedied by repair, cleaning, or replacement, Agent may place Tenant(s) on notice that Landlord is going to make the repair, cleaning or replacement on a certain date, and that the itemized bill for same will be submitted to Tenant(s) as an obligation and due and payable as rent within the time frame Landlord specifies in written notice to Tenant(s) f. Acceptance of Rent With Reservation. Unless Landlord accepts the rent with reservation, and gives a written notice to Tenant(s) of such acceptance, acceptance of periodic rental payments with knowledge of material noncompliance by the Tenant(s) constitutes a waiver of the Landlord s right to terminate the Lease. If the Landlord has given the Tenant(s) written notice that the periodic rental payments have been accepted with reservation, the Landlord may accept full payment of all rental payments, damages and other fees and still be entitled to receive an order of possession terminating the Lease, as provided in Section of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, the applicable provision of the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Any rental payment received after judgment and possession has been granted to Landlord against Tenant(s), but prior to eviction, will be accepted with reservation, and will be applied to the judgment amount, including the late charges, applicable costs and attorney s fees, but will not affect the pending eviction pursuant to the order of possession granted by a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the acceptance of the said amount with reservation in no way creates a new landlord/tenant relationship with the Tenant(s). g. Remedies Available to Agent Upon Termination of Lease Agreement. Upon termination of the Lease Agreement, Landlord may, in addition, seek a money judgment against Tenant(s) for any physical damages there may be to the apartment premises, or any part of the apartment community. Landlord may further seek a money judgment for any actual damages sustained as a result of Tenant(s) default and breach of the Lease Agreement, as provided by Virginia law. Upon termination of the Lease Agreement, Landlord may treat the security deposit as provided in other provisions of this Lease Agreement, and appropriate addenda hereto. 21. HOLDOVER STATUS. If the vacating date has passed due to a termination of the Lease Agreement, and Tenant(s) remain in possession of the apartment premises, Tenant(s) are liable for the damages sustained by Landlord by the Tenant(s) holding over, including but not limited to storage, hotel, meals, mileage, etc., payable to the new tenant, or at Landlord s election, a daily flat rate charge which reflects the expenses to be incurred by a new tenant who has received approval from Landlord to incur such expenses within guidelines set by Landlord, for each day after the vacating date Tenant(s) stay in possession of the premises. If Tenant(s) hold over, Tenant(s) are responsible for the payment of the then current monthly fair market rent for the entire month and for any subsequent months thereafter until Landlord is able to gain legal possession of the subject premises. 22. RENT INCREASES. After the initial term of this Agreement, Landlord may raise the monthly rental by giving a written notice to Tenant(s) of the increased amount at least two months prior to the effective date of the increase. The rent increase is effective as to the one-month renewal terms after the effective date of the said increase unless Tenant(s) cancels this Agreement in accordance with Paragraph 19 of the Lease Agreement. 23. WAIVING OF BREACH NOT GENERAL WAIVER. If Landlord waives a noncompliance by Tenant(s) with the Lease Agreement, or with applicable law, such waiver shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any subsequent breach of noncompliance, and this Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 24. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. Each Tenant signing this Lease Agreement shall be jointly and severally responsible for each and every obligation under the Lease Agreement, as well as for compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances. 25. SUBORDINATION. This Agreement is subject to all present, or future, mortgages or deeds of trust, affecting the apartment premises. Upon request, Tenant(s) will execute any necessary documents to subordinate this Agreement to any such mortgage or deed of trust. 26. SEVERABILITY. If any provisions of this Agreement are in violation of the law or equity, it is agreed that the remaining provisions are in full force and effect. Page 3 of 5

Landlord, as an equal opportunity housing provider, does not discriminate against Tenant(s) in the provision of services, or in any other manner, on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, age, national origin, familial status, elderliness, or handicap. 28. REASONABLE ATTORNEY S FEES. For purposes of this Agreement, if Tenant(s) noncompliance with this Lease Agreement or applicable law causes Landlord to employ an attorney at law, Tenant(s) agree to pay reasonable attorneys fees, which will constitute at least twenty-five percent (25%) of any amounts sued for by Landlord, or if a non-rent violation is involved, reasonable attorneys fees computed on a hourly basis as billed to Landlord by their attorneys at law. 29. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant(s) agree that the Rules and Regulations, which are incorporated by reference herein and any other reasonable rules and regulations subsequently adopted by Landlord which do not substantially modify this Lease Agreement, and of which Tenant(s) receive reasonable notice, will be a part of this Lease Agreement. Any noncompliance with, or violation of the Rules and Regulations will, therefore, constitute a noncompliance with, or a violation of, this Lease Agreement. 30. AGENCY. Landlord hereby appoints Allen & Rocks, Inc. as its authorized agent with full and complete authority to engage in all aspects of the business of the apartment community, and to act for the Landlord in all respects which relate to this Lease Agreement. 31.
