                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

EXPRESS WARRANTIES (§ 8.2A-210)

1. Express warranties by the lessor are created as follows:

   a. Any affirmation of fact or promise made by the lessor to the lessee which
   relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an
   express warranty that the goods will conform to the affirmation or promise.

   b. Any description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain
   creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the description.

   c. Any sample or model that is made part of the basis of the bargain creates
   an express warranty that the whole of the goods will conform to the sample or
   model.

2. It is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the lessor
use formal words, such as &#8220;warrant&#8221; or &#8220;guarantee,&#8221; or
that the lessor have a specific intention to make a warranty, but an affirmation
merely of the value of the goods or a statement purporting to be merely the
lessor&#8217;s opinion or commendation of the goods does not create a warranty.
