illustrate how the formula in the above table would work, assume that during
calendar year 2002 the only awards made by the Company under the Stock
Incentive Plan were an aggregate of 400,000 stock options and shares of
restricted stock.&#160; Of these, 320,000 (or
80%) were options and 80,000 (or 20%) were restricted shares.&#160; As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, assume that the
Company had outstanding 67,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 units
of limited partnership in DownREITs that may be exchanged for shares of Common
Stock.&#160; Therefore, following the table
above, this means that on December&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company would increase
the number of available shares under the Stock Incentive Plan by multiplying
68,000,000 by 0.94%, (i.e., 639,200 shares of Common Stock would be added to
the number of available shares reserved under the Stock Incentive Plan).</font></p>

Committee may grant Restricted Stock Awards to any participant.&#160; A Restricted Stock Award is an Award
entitling the recipient to acquire, at no cost or for a purchase price
determined by the Committee, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and
conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant (&#147;Restricted
Stock&#148;).&#160; Conditions may be based on
continuing employment (or other business relationship) and/or achievement of
pre-established performance goals and objectives.&#160; In addition, a Restricted Stock Award may be
granted to an employee by the Committee in lieu of a cash bonus due to such
employee pursuant to any other plan of the Company.&#160; In the event of termination of employment
and/or other business relationships by reason of Retirement, then in such event
any Restricted Stock Awards held by the terminated Award holder on the date of
termination shall be automatically vested as of the date of termination
notwithstanding that the provisions of the related Restricted Stock Award may
not provide for such automatic vesting.</font></h2>

business day after the 2003 annual meeting of stockholders shall automatically
be granted on such day 2,500 shares of Restricted Stock, and, thereafter each
Non-Employee Director who is serving as a Director of the Company on the fifth
business day after each annual meeting of stockholders, beginning with the 2004
annual meeting of stockholders, shall automatically be granted on such day a
number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to $100,000 based upon the closing
price of shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
the Grant Date of the preceding year (such number to be rounded to the nearest
whole number).&#160; By way of example it is
noted that the 2003 Grant Date was May 21, 2003 and that the closing stock
price on such date was $43.14, which means that on the 2004 Grant Date each
Non-Employee Director will be granted 2,318 shares of Restricted Stock (i.e,
$100,000/$43.14).&#160; Except as otherwise
provided in the award agreement, such shares of Restricted Stock shall vest
twenty percent (20%) on the date of issuance and twenty percent (20%) on each

granted hereunder shall qualify as an &#147;incentive stock option&#148; as defined in
Section 422 of the Code.&#160; Accordingly,
the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive
stock option under Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be
made of any Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option within the
one-year period beginning on the day after the day of the transfer of such
Option Shares to him or her, nor within the two-year period beginning on the
day after the grant of the Option.&#160; If
the Optionee intends to dispose or does dispose (whether by sale, gift, transfer
or otherwise) of any such Option Shares within these periods, he or she will
notify the Company within thirty (30) days after such disposition.&#160; In addition, no more than $100,000 of the
aggregate fair market value of Stock Options granted under the Plan may become
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year and be
treated as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code.</font></p>

(&#147;Employee&#148;) and AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (&#147;AvalonBay&#148;), dated &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings
set forth in the Unmodified Stock Option Agreement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

convenience of AvalonBay, the Unmodified Stock Option Agreement is in a
standard format commonly used by AvalonBay.&#160;
However, this Addendum to Stock Option Agreement (the &#147;Addendum&#148;)
contains one or more provisions (the &#147;Modifications&#148;) approved by the Board of
Directors of AvalonBay (the &#147;Board&#148;) that are inconsistent with the terms of
the Unmodified Stock Option Agreement.&#160;
The Board approved the Modifications at the time it approved the grant
of the Options to Employee, and for ease of administration the Company is
documenting the grant of the Options with the Modifications by entering into
the Unmodified Stock Option Agreement and this Addendum.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

intending to be legally bound and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, AvalonBay and Employee agree
as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 37.05pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement
between the Company and Employee dated &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
as amended, or pursuant to the terms of a successor agreement or arrangement
(other than the Unmodified Stock Option Agreement), the vesting of Employee&#146;s
stock options is accelerated upon the termination of his employment, then the
following shall apply:&#160;&#160; any Option then
held by Employee may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of
termination (after giving effect to accelerated vesting), for a period of one
(1) year from the date of termination, or until the Expiration Date, if
earlier.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 37.05pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 37.05pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For clarification it is noted that the terms of the
preceding paragraph will not apply if vesting of Employee&#146;s stock options is
not accelerated upon a termination of employment (e.g., if he voluntarily
resigns without a Constructive Termination Without Cause, as defined in the
Employment Agreement).&#160; In such cases,
the period of time following termination in which the Options must be exercised
will be determined by the Unmodified Stock Option Agreement, which generally
provides that the Options will terminate earlier than one year from the date of
termination.</font></p>
