                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CASUALTY TO IDENTIFIED GOODS (§ 8.2A-221)

If a lease contract requires goods identified when the lease contract is made,
and the goods suffer casualty without fault of the lessee, the lessor or the
supplier before delivery, or the goods suffer casualty before risk of loss
passes to the lessee pursuant to the lease agreement or § 8.2A-219, then if:

a. The loss is total, the lease contract is avoided; and

b. The loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as to no longer conform
to the lease contract, the lessee may nevertheless demand inspection and at his
or her option either treat the lease contract as avoided or, except in a finance
lease that is not a consumer lease, accept the goods with due allowance from the
rent payable for the balance of the lease term for the deterioration or the
deficiency in quantity but without further right against the lessor.
