The Uniform Building Code defines a�i exit--'A continuous and unobstructed means of e9ress to a public way, a��d shall include intervening doors, doorways, corridors, exterior exit balconies, ramps, skairreys, smoke�proof enclosures, horizontel exits, exit passage rays, exit courts, and yards' (Sec. 3301(b)). 1'he Uniform Building Code requires that--'the second story shall be provided with not less then tr+o exits Mhen the occupant load is ten or more' (Sec. 3303(a)) end 'occupants on floors above the second story and in basertients shall have access to not less th�an two separate exits from the floor or basement' (Sec. 3303(a)).
