                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LESSOR&#8217;S AND LESSEE&#8217;S RIGHTS WHEN GOODS BECOME ACCESSIONS (§
8.2A-310)

1. Goods are &#8220;accessions&#8221; when they are installed in or affixed to
other goods.

2. The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract entered into
before the goods became accessions is superior to all interests in the whole
except as stated in subsection (4) of this section.

3. The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract entered into at
the time or after the goods became accessions is superior to all subsequently
acquired interests in the whole except as stated in subsection (4) of this
section but is subordinate to interests in the whole existing at the time the
lease contract was made unless the holders of such interests in the whole have
in writing consented to the lease or disclaimed an interest in the goods as part
of the whole.

4. The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract described in
subsection (2) or (3) of this section is subordinate to the interest of:

   a. A buyer in the ordinary course of business or a lessee in the ordinary
   course of business of any interest in the whole acquired after the goods
   became accessions; or

   b. A creditor with a security interest in the whole perfected before the lease
   contract was made to the extent that the creditor makes subsequent advances
   without knowledge of the lease contract.

5. When under subsections (2) or (3) and (4) of this section a lessor or a
lessee of accessions holds an interest that is superior to all interests in the
whole, the lessor or the lessee may (a) on default, expiration, termination, or
cancellation of the lease contract by the other party but subject to the
provisions of the lease contract and this title, or (b) if necessary to enforce
his or her other rights and remedies under this title, remove the goods from the
whole, free and clear of all interests in the whole, but he or she shall
reimburse any holder of an interest in the whole who is not the lessee and who
has not otherwise agreed for the cost of repair of any physical injury but not
for any diminution in value of the whole caused by the absence of the goods
removed or by any necessity for replacing them. A person entitled to
reimbursement may refuse permission to remove until the party seeking removal
gives adequate security for the performance of this obligation.
