d) Ownership of Common Areas and Facilities. The Common Areas and Facilities contained in the Project are described and identified in Article V, Section d) of this Declaration. Said Common Areas and Facilities shall be owned by the Unit Owners as tenants in common. No percentage of undivided ownership shall be separated from the Unit to which it is appurtenant; and, even though not specifically mentioned in the instrument of transfer, such a percentage of undivided ownership interest shall automatically accompany the transfer of the Unit to which it relates.

The percentage of undivided ownership in the Common Areas and Facilities shall be as set forth in Section f) hereinbelow and in Appendix B attached hereto. Said percentage of undivided ownership shall apply and be for all purposes, including voting and the allocation of Common Expense assessments among the Unit Owners.
e) Use of Common Areas and Facilities. Except with respect to Limited Common Areas and Facilities, each Unit Owner may use the Common Areas and Facilities in accordance with the purpose for which they are intended, but subject to the Declaration, the Bylaws and all other house rules and regulations. This right of use shall be appurtenant to and run with each Unit.
f) Computation of Undivided Interest. Each Unit has an equal percentage of undivided ownership interest in the Common Areas and Facilities, said ownership interest being appurtenant to each Unit. A Unit Owner's percentage of ownership interest in the Common Areas and Facilities shall be the same for all purposes, including voting and assessment of Common Expenses.
a) As set forth in greater detail in Appendix E hereto, all lessees, tenants, invitees and other non-Unit Owner occupants of a Unit shall comply in all respects to the provisions of the Declaration, Bylaws and all other house rules and regulations and all leases, rental and other agreements shall be in writing and so clearly state, as well as that failure of the lessee, tenant or other occupant to comply with the terms of said documents shall be a default under the lease, rental and/or any other agreement.
b) A Unit Owner desiring to lease or rent a Unit for any amount or period of time, shall disclose that fact in writing to the Association at least ten (10) days before presenting a lease to a potential lessee or renter of the Unit and, at the same time, shall supply the Association with a copy of the exact lease form for the Association’s review of the form’s compliance with this Article of the Declaration. The Association will also at that time require that the prospective lessee or renter, before executing a lease for a Unit in the Condominium Project, understand the operation of the Condominium Project and therefore meet with the Management Committee or its designee, tour the Condominium Project and receive such information concerning the operation of the Condominium Project and the obligations of a lessee of a Unit therein as the Association determines is appropriate.
c) If the Association determines that a lessee, tenant or other non-Unit Owner occupant has failed to comply with any of the conditions of any of the documents discussed in section a) hereinabove, the Association may, at its option and without waiving any rights if it does not, take the following actions:
1) The Association may notify the Unit Owner by certified mail advising him of the alleged violation by the lessee, tenant or other occupant.
2) The Unit Owner would then have twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice to investigate and correct the alleged breach by the lessee, tenant or other occupant and correct the alleged breach, advise the Association that a violation has not occurred or otherwise amicably settle the situation with all concerned.
3) If after twenty (20) days the Association believed that the alleged breach is not cured, may be repeated or its solution has not been satisfactorily settled on, it may institute on its own behalf or derivatively by the Unit Owner on behalf of the Association an action for eviction against the lessee, tenant or other occupant of the Unit and simultaneously, or separately, one for money damages against the same and the Unit Owner for breach of the conditions in question. The relief provided for in this section may be by summary proceedings and the Association may hold any or all of the parties involved liable for any and all damages to the Common Areas and Facilities caused by the lessee, tenant or other occupant of the Unit in question or by any of their family, servants, guests or invitees.
d) If a Unit Owner is in arrears to the Association for any Common Expense or other assessments, the Association may give written notice of the arrearage to the lessee, tenant or other occupant occupying the Unit in question and the lessee, tenant or other occupant shall, after receiving the notice, deduct from his rental or lease payments due to the Unit Owner the arrearage and future assessments as they fall due and pay them to the Association. These deductions shall not constitute a breach of the lease, rental or other agreement by the lessee, tenant or other occupant of the Unit in question.
e) No Unit Owner shall be permitted to lease or rent his Unit for transient or hotel purposes or for one continuous period of more than twelve months without the prior written permission of the Management Committee. The Declarant may, however, at its sole discretion and under its sole auspices lease or rent any of the Units owned by it for any amount of time.
a) An Owner or Owners of one or of two or more adjoining Units or of adjoining Units previously combined, shall have the right, upon the approval of a two-thirds majority of the Association and the Mortgagees of said Unit or Units, to combine or separate one or two or more adjoining Units or portions thereof and to alter or amend the Declaration and Map to reflect such combination or separation.
b) Such amendments may be accomplished by the Unit Owner or Owners recording an amendment or amendments to this Declaration, together with an amended Map or containing the same information with respect to the altered Units as required in the initial Declaration and Map with respect to the initial Units. All costs and expenses required in such amendments shall be borne by the Unit Owner or Owners desiring such combination or separation.
c) All such amendments to the Declaration and Map must be approved by attorneys employed by the Management Committee to insure the continuing legality of the Declaration and the Map. The cost of such review by the attorneys shall be borne by the Owner or Owners wishing to combine or separate the Units.
d) Any amendment of the Declaration or Map pursuant to this Article IX shall reflect the changes occasioned by the alteration. Such changes shall include a change in the percentage of undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities which are appurtenant to the Unit or Units involved in the alterations. The remaining combined Unit, if two or more Units are totally combined, will acquire the total of the percentage of undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities appurtenant to the Units that are combined as set forth in Appendix B. If a portion of one Unit is combined with another, the resulting Units shall acquire a proportionate percentage of the total undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities of the Units involved in the combination on the basis of area remaining in and between the respective, combined Units. If a Unit or a previously combined Unit is separated into two Units the resulting Units shall acquire a proportionate percentage of the total undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities of the original Unit or combined Unit on the basis of floor area in the two resulting Units. The percentage of undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities appurtenant to all other Units shall not be changed with respect to any combination or separation unless such a change is agreed upon by a two-thirds majority of the Association. All such amendments must, in all instances, be consented to by the Management Committee and also by a two-thirds majority of the Association.
For the five (5) years following the recordation hereof, the Declarant reserves the right to change the interior design and interior arrangement of any Unit and to alter the boundaries between Units, so long as the Declarant owns the Units so altered. Any change of the boundaries between Units or of Common Areas shall be reflected by an amendment of this Declaration and of the Map which may be executed by the Declarant alone, notwithstanding the procedures for amendment described in Article XXVIII of this Declaration. However, no such change shall increase the number of Units nor alter the boundaries of the Common Areas and Facilities without amendment of this Declaration and of the Map in the manner described in Article XXVIII of this Declaration.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, until Declarant ceases to be a Unit Owner or the expiration of five (5) years after the date on which this Declaration is filed for record in the office of the County Recorder of Salt Lake County, Utah, whichever first occurs (hereinafter referred to as the "Occurrence"), Declarant shall have the following rights in furtherance of any sales, promotional, or other activities designed to accomplish or facilitate the construction and/or sale of all Units owned by Declarant:

12) To own, purchase or lease, hold and sell or otherwise dispose of, on behalf of the Unit Owners, items of personal property necessary to or convenient in the management of the business and affairs of the Association and the Management Committee and in the operation of the Property, including without limitation furniture, furnishings, fixtures, maintenance equipment, appliances, and office supplies.
13) To keep adequate books and records.
14) To do all other acts necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Property, including the maintenance and repair of any Unit if the same is necessary to protect or preserve the Property.
d) The Management Committee, with the advice and consent of the Association by a two thirds majority vote of the Association, may delegate to a manager or managing company all of its foregoing powers, duties and responsibilities referred to in Article XII, Section c) above except: the final determination of Common Expenses, budgets and assessments based thereon; the promulgation of house rules and administrative rules and regulations; the power to enter into any contract or debt instrument involving more than $2,000 in any one fiscal year; the opening of bank accounts; the power to purchase, hold, sell, convey, mortgage or lease any Units in the name of the Association or to bring, prosecute and settle litigation. All such reserved actions will need the advice and affirmative consent of at least a two thirds majority of the Association.
e) Members of the Management Committee and the members, officers and any assistant officer, agents and employees of the Association 1) shall not be liable to the Unit Owners as a result of their activities as such for any mistake of judgment, negligence or otherwise, except for their own willful misconduct or bad faith; 2) shall have no personal liability in contract to a Unit Owner or any other person or entity under any agreement, instrument or transaction entered into by them on behalf of the Association in their capacity as such; 3) shall have no personal liability in tort to any Unit Owner or any person or entity direct or imputed, by virtue of acts performed by them, except for their own willful misconduct or bad faith, or acts performed for them in their capacity as such; and 4) shall have no personal liability arising out of the use, misuse or condition of the Property, which might in any way be assessed against or imputed to them as a result or by virtue of their capacity as such.
f) The Unit Owners shall indemnify and hold harmless, any person, his heirs and personal representatives, from and against all personal liability and all expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred or imposed, or arising out or in settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative instituted by any one or more Unit Owners, or any other persons or entities, to which he shall be or shall be threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that he is or was a member of the Management Committee, any other Association committee or an officer or assistant officer, member, agent or employee of the Association, other than to the extent, if any, that such liability or expense shall be attributable to his willful misconduct or bad faith, provided, in the case of any settlement, that the Management Committee shall have approved the settlement, which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled as a matter of law or agreement or vote of Unit Owners or of the Management Committee, or otherwise. The indemnification by the Unit Owners as contained herein shall be paid for by the Management Committee on behalf of the Unit Owners and shall constitute a Common Expense and shall be assessed and collectible as such.
a) The Management Committee shall maintain up-to date records showing the name of each person who is an Owner, the address of such person, and the Unit which is owned by him. In the event of any transfer of a fee or undivided fee interest in a Unit, either the transferor or transferee shall furnish the Management Committee with evidence establishing that the transfer has occurred and that the Deed or other instrument accomplishing the transfer is of record in the office of the County Recorder of Salt Lake County, Utah. The Management Committee may for all purposes act and rely on the information concerning Owners and Unit ownership which is thus acquired by it or, at its option, the Management Committee may act and rely on current ownership information respecting any Unit or Units which is obtained from the office of the County Recorder of Salt Lake County, Utah. The address of an Owner shall be deemed to be the address of the Unit owned by such person unless the Management Committee is otherwise advised. As necessary hereunder, the Association shall notify each insurance company that has issued an insurance policy under Article XXII of the name and address of a new Owner and request that the new Owner be made a named insured under such policy.
Sections b), c), and d) were deleted by amendment in 2012.
e) In order that prospective purchasers of Units understand the operation of the Condominium Project before purchasing a Unit, the Management Committee will require that any prospective purchaser, whether pursuant to Section c) or d) hereinabove, before executing a non-rescindable purchase agreement for a Unit, meet with the Management Committee or its designee, tour the Condominium Project and receive such information concerning the operation of the Condominium Project and the obligations of being a member of the Association as the Management Committee determines is appropriate, in addition to receiving the information required by the Act. At least two weeks before closing of the sale or other transfer of a Unit, the Owner of that Unit shall notify the Management Committee in writing of 1) the Unit being sold; 2) the name and address of the purchaser, the closing agent, and the title insurance company insuring the purchaser's interest; and 3) the expected closing date. The Management Committee shall have the right to notify the purchaser, the title insurance company, and the closing agent of the amount of unpaid assessments and charges outstanding against the Unit, whether or not such information is requested. Promptly upon the conveyance of a Unit, the new Unit Owner shall notify the Association of the date of the conveyance and of that Unit Owner's name and address.
f) All Unit sales and any and all other changes of ownership and/or occupancy of the Units in the Condominium Project are subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act which makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.
The vote attributable to and exercisable in connection with a Unit shall be the percentage of undivided ownership interest in the Common Areas and Facilities which is appurtenant to such Unit. In the event there is more than one Owner of a particular Unit, the vote relating to such a Unit shall be exercised as such Owners may determine among themselves. A vote cast at any meeting by any of such Owners shall be conclusively presumed to be the vote attributable to the Unit concerned unless an objection is immediately made by another Owner of the same Unit. In the event such an objection is made, the vote involved shall not be counted for any purpose whatsoever other than to determine whether a quorum exists.
The maintenance, alteration, replacement and repair of the Common Areas and Facilities shall be the responsibility of the Management Committee and the cost thereof shall be a Common Expense. The Management Committee shall also maintain, alter, replace and repair all roads, parking and storage areas and walkways and conduits, ducts, plumbing and wiring and other facilities for the furnishing of heat, gas, light, power, air conditioning, water and sewer contained in the portions of the Units that service part or parts of the Property other than the Unit in which they are contained. All incidental damages caused to a Unit by the maintenance, alteration, replacement and repair of the Common Areas and Facilities or Utility Services shall be repaired promptly as a Common Expense. The Declarant’s initial estimate of the cost of maintenance, repair, replacement and operation of the Condominium Project’s Infrastructure is shown and detailed in Appendix F hereto.
a) Each Owner of a Unit at his own expense shall keep the interior of such Unit and its equipment and appurtenances in good order, condition and repair and in a clean and sanitary condition, and shall do all redecorating and painting which may at any time be necessary to maintain the good appearance of such Unit. Except to the extent that the Management Committee on behalf of all Unit Owners is protected by insurance against such injury, the Unit Owner shall repair all injury or damages to the Unit, building or buildings caused by the act, negligence or carelessness of the Unit Owner or that of any tenant or subtenant or any member of the Unit Owner's family or of the family of any tenant or subtenant or any agent, employee or guest of the Owner or his tenant or subtenant and all such repairs, redecorating and painting shall be of quality and kind equal to the original work. In addition to decorating and keeping the interior of the Unit in good repair, the Unit Owner shall be responsible for the maintenance and/or replacement of any heating, cooling and hot water equipment, and all parts and piping therefor, plumbing, lighting and communications fixtures and all parts and piping and conduits therefor and all appliances that may be in or used exclusively by his Unit.
b) Each Unit Owner shall be entitled to the exclusive use and possession of his Unit and of the Limited Common Areas and Facilities appurtenant to his Unit and shall be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the same; provided, however, that without the written permission of the Management Committee, or the appropriate architectural review committee, first had and obtained, a Unit Owner shall not make or permit to be made any structural additions, alterations or improvements in or to the Unit and/or any additions, alterations or improvements in or to the exterior of the buildings and/or in or to the Limited Common Areas and Facilities, and shall not paint or decorate any portion of the exterior of the Unit or of the building or parts or portions such as doors, windows and trim thereof in which the Unit is located.
c) The Management Committee, or the appropriate architectural review committee when set up by the Management Committee, shall be obligated to answer any written request by a Unit Owner for approval of a proposed structural addition, alteration or improvement, by painting or otherwise, to or in such Unit Owner’s Unit or Limited Common Areas and Facilities within 45 days after such request and failure to do so within the stipulated time shall constitute a consent by the Management Committee to the proposed structural addition, alteration or improvement. If any application to any governmental authority for a permit to make any such structural addition, alteration or improvement in or to any Unit requires execution by the Association and provided that consent has been given by the Management Committee, then the application shall be executed on behalf of the Association by the Management Committee only, without, however, incurring any liability on the part of the Management Committee or the Association to any contractor, subcontractor or vendor on account of such addition, alteration or improvement, or to any person having claim for injury to person or damage to property arising therefrom. The provision of this sub-section c) shall not apply to Units owned by the Declarant until deeds of conveyance of such Units shall have been recorded. The Declarant shall have the right to make any such alterations or subdivision or combinations of and to such Units, including the reapportionment of percentage of interest, if any, without the consent of the Management Committee and the Management Committee shall execute any such applications required.
d) As hereinabove provided, the Management Committee, by way of other appropriate special committees or otherwise, shall provide for such maintenance and operation of the Common Areas and Facilities as may be reasonably necessary to keep them clean, functional, attractive and generally in good condition and repair. Neither the Management Committee nor the Association shall have any obligations, but may have specific rights hereunder, regarding the maintenance, repair or care of Units and their appurtenant Limited Common Areas and Facilities, these all being the full and complete responsibility of their respective Unit Owner(s).
The Management Committee and its duly authorized agents shall have the right to enter any and all of the Units and/or their Limited Common Areas and Facilities in case of an emergency originating in or threatening such Unit or any other part of the Project, whether or not the Unit Owner or occupant thereof is present at the time. The Committee and its duly authorized agents shall also have the right to enter into any and all of said Units at all reasonable times as required for the purpose of making necessary repairs upon the Common Areas and Facilities of the Project or for the purpose of performing emergency installations, alterations or repairs to the mechanical or electrical devices or installations located therein or thereon provided, however, such emergency installations, alterations or repairs are necessary to prevent damage or threatened damage to other Units in the Project; and provided further that the Unit Owner affected by such entry shall first be notified thereof if available and if time permits. Each Unit Owner and/or occupant shall deposit a key to the Unit with the Management Committee or manager to be used for emergency access to the Unit.
a) Each Unit Owner shall pay the Management Committee his allocated portion of the cash requirement deemed necessary by the Management Committee to manage and operate the Condominium Project, that is the Common Expenses, upon the terms, at the time, and in the manner herein provided without any deduction on account of any set off or claim which the Owner may have against the Management Committee or Association. If the Unit Owner shall fail to pay any installment within one month of the time when the same becomes due, the Owner shall pay interest thereon at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from the date when such installment shall become due to the date of the payment therefor; provided, however, that interest on any installment which is six months or more overdue shall increase to eighteen percent (18%) for the period beginning six months after payment is due and continuing until fully paid.
b) The cash requirements above referred to for each year, or portion of the year, are hereby defined and shall be deemed to include an adequate reserve fund for maintenance, repairs and replacement of those Common Areas and Facilities that must be maintained, repaired or replaced on a periodic basis, plus such aggregate sum as the Management Committee from time to time shall determine, in its judgment, is to be paid by all the Owners of the Condominium Project then in existence to enable the Management Committee to pay all estimated expenses and outlays of the Management Committee to the close of such year, growing out of or in connection with the maintenance and operation of such land, buildings, and improvements; which sum may include, among other things, the cost of management, special assessments, fire, casualty, flood, fidelity, public liability and other insurance premiums, common lighting, landscaping and the care of the grounds, repairs and renovations to Common Areas and Facilities, snow removal, wages, water charges, natural gas charges and all other utility services, except telephone, electricity and other services which are separately billed or metered to the individual Units by the utility or party furnishing such service, legal and accounting fees, management fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Management Committee under or by reason of this Declaration, the payment of any deficit remaining from the previous period, the creation of a reasonable contingency or other necessary reserve or surplus fund, as well as all other costs and expenses relating to the Condominium Project. The Management Committee may, from time to time, up to the close of the year for which such cash requirements have been so filed or determined, increase or diminish the amount previously fixed or determined for such year. It may include in the cash requirements for any year, any liabilities or items or expense which accrued or became payable in the previous year, or which might have been included in the cash requirements for a previous year, but were not included therein; and also any sums which the Management Committee may deem necessary or prudent to provide a reserve against liabilities or expenses then accrued or thereafter to accrue although not payable in that year.
c) The portion payable with respect to each Unit in and for each year or for a portion of a year shall be a sum equal to the aggregate amount of such cash requirements for such year, or portion of year, determined as aforesaid, multiplied by the equal percentage of undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities appurtenant to such Unit, as shown in Appendix B. Such assessments, together with any additional sums accruing under this Declaration, shall be payable monthly in advance, or in such payments and installments as shall be established by the Management Committee.
d) The Management Committee shall have discretionary powers to prescribe the manner of maintaining and operating the Condominium Project and to determine the cash requirements of the Management Committee to be paid as aforesaid by the Owners under this Declaration. Every such reasonable determination by the Management Committee within the bounds of the Act, and this Declaration shall be final and conclusive as to the Owners, and any expenditures made by the Management Committee, within the bounds of the Act and this Declaration shall as against the Owner be deemed necessary and properly made for such purpose.
e) If an Owner shall at any time let or sublet his Unit and shall default for a period of one month in the payment of any assessments, the Management Committee may, at its option, so long as such default shall continue, demand and receive from any tenant or sub-tenant of the Owner occupying the Unit the rent due or becoming due and payment of such rent to the Management Committee shall be sufficient payment and discharge of such tenant or sub-tenant and the Owner to the extent of the amount so paid.
f) Each monthly assessment and each special assessment shall be separate, distinct and personal obligations of the Owner(s) of the Unit against which the same is assessed at the time the assessment is made and shall be collectible as such. Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid Common Expenses may be maintained without foreclosure or waiving the lien as described hereafter, securing the same. The amount of any assessment, whether regular or special, assessed to a Unit, plus interest as provided for herein, costs of action and reasonable attorney's fees shall become a lien upon such Unit upon recordation of a Notice of Assessment as provided for by the Act. Said lien for non payment of Common Expenses shall have priority over all other liens and encumbrances, recorded or unrecorded, except only:
1) tax and special assessment liens on the Unit in favor of any assessing unit or special district; and
2) encumbrances on the interest of the Unit Owner recorded prior to the date such notice is recorded which by law would be a lien prior to subsequently recorded encumbrances.
g) A certificate executed and acknowledged by the manager or Management Committee stating the unpaid Common Expenses then outstanding with respect to a Unit shall be conclusive upon the Management Committee and the Owners as to the amount of such indebtedness on the date of the certificate, in favor of all persons who rely thereon in good faith, and such certificate shall be furnished to any Owner or encumbrancee or prospective Owner or encumbrancee of a Condominium Unit upon request, at a reasonable fee initially not to exceed Ten Dollars ($10.00). Unless the request for a certificate of indebtedness shall be compiled within 10 days, all unpaid Common Expenses which become due prior to the date of making of such request shall be subordinate to the lien or interest held by or obtained by the person making the request. Any encumbrancee holding a lien on a Condominium Unit may pay any unpaid Common Expenses payable with respect to such Condominium Unit and upon such payment that encumbrancee shall have a lien on that Unit of the same rank as the lien of his encumbrance for the amounts paid.
h) Upon payment or other satisfaction of delinquent assessments concerning which a Notice of Assessment has been recorded, the Management Committee shall cause to be recorded in the same manner as the Notice of Assessment a further notice stating the satisfaction and release of the lien thereof. Such lien for nonpayment of assessment may be enforced by sale of the Unit by the Management Committee or by a bank or trust company or title insurance company authorized by the Management Committee, such sale to be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the law applicable to the exercise of powers of sale or foreclosure in deeds of trust or mortgages or in any other manner permitted by law. In any foreclosure or sale, the Unit Owner shall be required to pay the costs and expenses of such proceedings including reasonable attorney’s fees.
i) In the event of foreclosure, the Unit Owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for the Condominium Unit and the plaintiff in the foreclosure action shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect the rental without regard to the value of the security. The Management Committee, manager or Association shall have the power to bid on the Condominium Unit at foreclosure or other sale and to hold, lease, mortgage and convey the Condominium Unit.
j) In assessing Unit Owners for capital improvements, no assessment for a single improvement in the nature of a capital expenditure exceeding the sum of $2,000.00 shall be made without the same having been first voted on and approved by at least a two-thirds majority of the Project's undivided ownership interest.
k) In the event of nonpayment of assessed Common Expenses or other assessments, the right of the non-paying Unit Owner(s) to vote his/their Unit’s share pursuant to this Declaration or the Bylaws shall be suspended for all purposes until all such delinquent assessments, together with interest, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, shall have been paid. During such suspension, actions requiring a stated percentage of votes shall be determined without counting the suspended Unit or Units.
It is understood that under the Act each Unit, together with its percentage of undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities in the Project, is deemed a parcel and subject to separate assessment and taxation by each assessing unit and special district for all types of taxes authorized by law. Each Unit Owner will, accordingly, pay and discharge any and all taxes which may be assessed against his Condominium Unit.
a) Each Unit shall be subject to such easements as may be necessary for the installation, maintenance, repair or replacement of any Common Areas and Facilities located within the boundaries of such Unit.
b) In the event that, by reason of the construction, reconstruction, settlement or shifting of any part of a building, any part of the Common Areas and Facilities encroaches or shall hereafter encroach upon any part of any Unit or any part of any Unit encroaches or shall hereafter encroach upon any part of the Common Areas and Facilities or any other Unit, valid easements for such encroachment and the maintenance of such encroachment are hereby established and shall exist for the benefit of such Unit and the Common Areas and Facilities, as the case may be, so long as all or any part of the building containing any such Unit shall remain standing; provided, however, that in no event shall a valid easement for any encroachment be created in favor of any Unit Owner or in favor of the Unit Owners occurring after the date on which this Declaration is recorded.
c) Every deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument may describe a Unit by its identity number and letter designation as set forth in Appendix B and in the Map. Every such description shall be deemed good and sufficient for all purposes and shall be deemed to convey, transfer, encumber or otherwise effect the Unit Owner's corresponding percentage of undivided ownership in the Common Areas and Facilities, as a tenant in common, as set forth in Appendix B even though the same is not exactly mentioned or described.
d) Every deed, lease, mortgage or other similar instrument shall be deemed to include with respect to a Unit nonexclusive easements for ingress and support of said Unit through the Common Areas and Facilities, for the repair of said Unit through all other Units and through the Common Areas and Facilities, and for the use of the patios, yards, storage areas and parking spaces as indicated in Appendix B and the Map and further except and reserve, with respect to the undivided percentage interest in the Common Areas and Facilities, nonexclusive easements appurtenant to all Units for ingress, egress, support and repair and exclusive easements appurtenant to each Unit for the use of the patios, yards, storage areas and parking spaces as set forth in Appendix B and the Map.
e) Declarant and persons it may select from time to time shall have the right of ingress and egress over, upon and across the Common Areas and Facilities and Limited Common Areas and Facilities and the right to store materials therein and to make such other use thereof as may be reasonably necessary incident to the maintenance, refurbishing, development and/or sale of any or all of the Units.
In the event of destruction or damage of part or all of the improvements in the Condominium Project, the procedures of this Article XXI shall apply:
a) If proceeds of the insurance maintained by the Management Committee are alone sufficient to repair or reconstruct the damaged or destroyed improvement, such repair or reconstruction shall be carried out.
b) If less than 75% of the Project's improvements are destroyed or substantially damaged, and if proceeds of the insurance maintained by the Management Committee are not alone sufficient to accomplish repair or reconstruction, restoration shall be carried out and all of the Unit Owners shall be assessed for any deficiency on the basis of their respective appurtenant percentages of undivided ownership interest, said assessment becoming a lien on the Units as provided for in the Act.
c) If 75% or more of the Project's improvements are destroyed or substantially damaged, and if proceeds of the insurance maintained by the Management Committee are not alone sufficient to accomplish restoration, and if the Unit Owners within 100 days after the destruction or damage by a vote of at least 75% of the entire undivided ownership interest in the Project elect to repair or reconstruct the affected improvements, restoration shall be accomplished in the manner directed under Section b) above.
d) If 75% or more of the Project's improvements are destroyed or substantially damaged, if proceeds of the insurance maintained by the Committee are insufficient to accomplish restoration, and if the Unit Owners do not, within 100 days after the destruction or damage and by a vote of at least 75% of the entire undivided ownership interest in the Project, elect to repair or reconstruct the affected improvements, the Management Committee shall promptly record with the Salt Lake County Recorder a notice setting forth such facts. Upon the recording of such notice the provisions of subsections (1) through (4) of Section 57-8 31, Utah Code Annotated (1953) shall apply and shall govern the rights of all parties having an interest in the Project or any of the Units.
e) Any reconstruction or repair which is required to be carried out by this section shall be accomplished at the instance and direction of the Management Committee. Any determination which is required to be made by this section regarding the extent of damage to or destruction of Project improvements shall be made as follows: The Management Committee shall select three M.A.I. appraisers; each the appraisers shall independently arrive at a figure representing the percentage of Project improvements which have been destroyed or substantially damaged; the percentage which governs the application of the provisions of this Article XXI shall be the average of the two closest/appraisal figures; or of all three if the spread between the highest and middle figure and the lowest and middle figure is the same.
a) Hazard Insurance. The Management Committee or Association of Unit Owners shall at all times maintain in force hazard insurance meeting the following requirements:
1) A multi peril type policy covering the entire Condominium Project (both Units and Common Areas and Facilities) shall be maintained. Such policy shall provide coverage against loss or damage by fire and other hazards covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement and by debris removal, cost of demolition, vandalism, malicious mischief, windstorm, water damage, and such other risks as customarily are covered with respect to condominium projects similar to the Project, in construction, location, and use. As a minimum, such policy shall provide coverage on a replacement cost basis in an amount not less than that necessary to comply with any co insurance percentage specified in the policy, but not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable value of the Project based upon replacement cost. Such policy shall include an "Agreed Amount Endorsement" or its equivalent, a "Demolition Endorsement" or its equivalent, and, if necessary or appropriate, an "Increased Cost of Construction Endorsement" or its equivalent, and a "Contingent Liability from Operation of Building Laws Endorsement" or its equivalent.
2) If a steam boiler is or comes to be contained in the Project, there shall be maintained boiler explosion insurance and a broad form policy of repair and replacement boiler and machinery insurance, evidenced by the standard form of boiler and machinery insurance policy. Said insurance shall, as a minimum, provide coverage in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per accident per location.
3) If the Project is or comes to be situated in a locale identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and the sale of flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, a "blanket" policy of flood insurance on the Condominium Project shall be obtained and maintained. The minimum amount of coverage afforded by such policy shall be the lesser of the maximum amount of insurance available under said Act or the aggregate of the unpaid principal balances of the Mortgages affecting the individual Units. Such policy shall be in the form of the standard policy issued by members of the National Flood Insurers Association or in the form of a policy which meets the criteria established by the Flood Insurance Administration.
4) The named insured under each policy required to be maintained by the foregoing items 1), 2), and 3) shall be in form and substance essentially as follows: "The Management Committee and the Association of Unit Owners of the Wasatch Commons Condominium Project, or their authorized representative, for the use and benefit of the individual Owners".
5) Each such policy shall include the standard Mortgagee clause (without contribution) which either shall be endorsed to provide that any proceeds shall be paid to the Management Committee of the Association of Unit Owners for the use and benefit of Mortgagees as their interests may appear or shall be otherwise endorsed to fully protect the interests of Mortgagees. In addition, the Mortgagee clause shall provide that the insurance carrier shall notify each Mortgagee at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any reduction in or cancellation of the policy.
6) Each such policy shall provide that notwithstanding any provision thereof which gives the carrier the right to elect to restore damage in lieu of making a cash settlement, such option shall not be exercisable if in conflict with any requirement of law or without the prior written approval of the Association.
b) Fidelity Insurance. The Management Committee and/or Association shall be authorized to maintain in force fidelity coverage against dishonest acts on the part of managers (and employees of managers), trustees, employees, officers, Management Committee members, other committee members, or volunteers responsible for handling funds belonging to or administered by the Management Committee or Association of Unit Owners. The fidelity bond or insurance shall name the Association as the obligee or insured and shall be written in an amount sufficient to afford the protection reasonably necessary, but in no event less than three (3) month’s worth of gross condominium unit fees plus reserves. An appropriate endorsement to the policy shall be secured to cover persons who serve without compensation if the policy would not otherwise cover volunteers.
c) Liability Insurance. The Management Committee or Association of Unit Owners shall at all times maintain in force a comprehensive policy of public liability insurance covering all of the Common Areas and Facilities. Such insurance shall include a "Severability of Interest Endorsement" or its equivalent which shall preclude the insurer from denying the claim of Owner because of negligent acts of other Owners, the Management Committee, or the Association of Unit Owners. The coverage afforded by such public liability insurance shall include protection against water damage liability and such other risks as are customarily covered with respect to condominium projects similar to the Project in construction, location and use, including non-owned and hired automobile liability. The limits of liability under such insurance shall not be less than $1,000.000.00 for all claims for bodily injury, personal injury and/or property damage arising out of a single occurrence.
d) General Requirements Concerning Insurance. Each insurance policy maintained pursuant to this Article XXII, Section a) through c) shall be written by an insurance carrier which is licensed to transact business in the State of Utah and which has a financial rating by Best’s Insurance Reports of A-X or better. No such policy shall be maintained where: 1) under the terms of the carrier's charter, bylaws or policy, contributions may be required from, or assessments may be made against, a Unit Owner, a Mortgagee, the Management Committee, the Association of Unit Owners, a Unit, the Common Areas, or the Project; 2) by the terms of the carrier's charter, bylaws, or policy, loss payments are contingent upon action by the carrier's board of directors, policyholders, or members; 3) the policy includes any limiting clauses (other than insurance conditions) which could prevent the party entitled from collecting insurance proceeds; or 4) the policy provides that the insurance thereunder shall be brought into contribution with insurance purchased by the individual Unit Owners or the Mortgagees. Each such policy shall provide that: (a) coverage shall not be prejudiced by any act or neglect of the Unit Owners when such act or neglect is not within the control of the Association of Unit Owners or the Management Committee; (b) coverage shall not be prejudiced by any failure by the Association and Management Committee to comply with any warranty or condition with regard to any portion of the Project over which the Association and Management Committee have no control; (c) coverage may not be canceled or substantially modified (including cancellation for nonpayment of premium) without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to any and all insureds named therein, including any Mortgagee named as an insured; and (d) the insurer waives any right of subrogation it might have to any and all claims against the Association, the Management Committee, any Unit Owner, and/or their respective agents, employees or tenants, and any defense it might have based upon co insurance or upon invalidity arising from acts of the insured. If, due to changed circumstances, excessive cost, or any other reason, any of the insurance coverage required to be obtained and maintained under Sections a) through c) of this Article XXII cannot reasonably be secured, with respect to such coverage the Association or the Committee shall obtain and maintain such substitute, different or other coverage as may be reasonable and prudent under the circumstances as they may then exist. The Association’s Management Committee or a special insurance committee will review the Association’s insurance coverage and propose changes and/or modifications thereto on an at least annual basis.
a) From and after the time a Mortgagee makes written request to the Management Committee or the Association of Unit Owners therefor, the Committee or the Association shall notify such Mortgagee in writing in the event that the Owner of the Condominium Unit encumbered by the mortgage held by such Mortgagee neglects for a period of thirty (30) or more days to cure any failure on his part to perform any of his obligations under this Declaration.
b) The lien or claim against a Condominium Unit for unpaid assessments or charges levied by the Management Committee or by the Association of Unit Owners pursuant to this Declaration, or by the Act shall be subordinate to a first Mortgage effecting such Condominium Unit. A Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Condominium Unit pursuant to his Mortgage or a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure shall take the same free of such lien or claim for unpaid assessments or charges, but only to the extent of assessments or charges which accrue prior to foreclosure of the Mortgage, exercise of a power of sale available there under, or deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, except for claims for a pro-rata share of such prior assessments or charges resulting from a pro-rata reallocation thereof to all Condominium Units, including the Condominium Unit in which the Mortgagee is interested. No assessment, charge, lien or claim which is described in the preceding sentence as being subordinate to a Mortgage or as not a burden to a Mortgagee coming into possession pursuant to his Mortgage or a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure shall be collected or enforced by either the Management Committee or the Association from or against a Mortgagee, a successor in title to a Mortgagee, or the Condominium Unit effected or previously effected by the Mortgage concerned, to the extent any such collection or enforcement would prejudice the interests of the Mortgagee or successor in title to the Mortgagee interested in such Unit.
c) Unless all of the Mortgagees, if any, of the individual effected Condominium Units have given their prior written approval, neither the Management Committee nor the Association of Unit Owners shall be entitled, by act, omission, or otherwise:
1) To abandon or terminate the Condominium Project or to abandon or terminate the arrangement which is established by this Declaration and the Record of Survey Map, except as provided in Article XXI hereof in the event of certain destruction or damage;
2) To partition or subdivide any Unit;
3) To abandon, partition, subdivide, encumber, sell or transfer all or any of the Common Areas and Facilities, except for title granting of easements for utilities and similar purposes consistent with the intended use of the Common Areas and Facilities and except as provided in Article XXI hereof in the event of certain destruction or damage;
4) To use hazard insurance proceeds resulting from damage to any part of the Condominium Project, whether to the Units or to the Common Areas and Facilities, for purposes other than the repair, replacement, or reconstruction of such improvements, except as provided in Article XXI hereof in the event of certain destruction or damage;
5) To change the pro rata interests or obligations of any Unit which apply for (a) purposes of levying assessments or charges or allocating distributions of hazard insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or for (b) determining the pro rata share of ownership of each Unit in the Common Areas and Facilities;
6) To alter the provisions of Article XXII hereof in such a way as to diminish the insurance protection required to be afforded to the parties designed to be protected thereby, or to fail to maintain the insurance coverage described therein.
d) Any Mortgagee shall have the right, at its request and expense and upon reasonable notice, to examine the books and records of the Management Committee, of the Association of Unit Owners and of the Condominium Project. From and after the time a Mortgagee makes written request to the Management Committee or the Association of Unit Owners therefore, the Committee or the Association shall furnish to such Mortgagee copies of such annual operating reports and other reports or writings summarizing or reflecting the financial position or history of the Condominium Project as may be prepared for distribution to or use by the Committee, the Association, or the Unit Owners.
e) To the extent the same is reasonably possible and practical and is not inconsistent with the significant interests of the Association of Unit Owners, the Management Committee and the Association shall establish an adequate reserve to cover the cost of reasonably predictable and necessary major repairs and replacements of the Common Areas and Facilities and shall cause such reserve to be funded by regular monthly or other periodic assessments against the Units rather than by special assessments.
f) From and after the time a Mortgagee makes written request to the Management Committee or the Association of Unit Owners therefor, the Committee or the Association shall notify such Mortgagee in writing in the event that there occurs any damage or loss to, or taking or anticipated condemnation of: 1) The Common Areas and Facilities involving an amount in excess of, or reasonably estimated to be in excess of, Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); or 2) Any Unit involving an amount in excess of, or reasonably estimated to be in excess of, One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). Said notice shall be given within ten (10) days after the Management Committee or said Association learns of such damage, loss, taking or anticipated condemnation.
g) In the event another provision or clause of this Declaration deals with the same subject matter as is dealt with in any provision or clause of this Article XXIII, the provision or clause which results in the greatest protection and security for a Mortgagee shall control the rights, obligations, or limits of authority as the case may be, applicable to the Management Committee and Association of Unit Owners with respect to the subject concerned.
h) No amendment to this Article XXIII which has the effect of diminishing the rights, protection or security afforded to Mortgagees shall be accomplished or effective unless all of the Mortgagees, if any, of the affected individual Units have given their prior written approval to such amendment. Any amendment to this Article XXIII shall be accomplished by an instrument executed by the Management Committee and filed for record in the office of the Salt Lake County Recorder. In any such instrument an officer of the Management Committee shall certify that any prior written approval of the affected Mortgagees required by this Article XXIII as a condition to amendment has been obtained.
In the event that eminent domain proceedings are commenced against the Project or any portion thereof, the provisions of 57 8 32.5, Utah Code Annotated (Supp. 1975) shall apply. The Management Committee shall give written notice of such proceedings to all Mortgagees of record. No first lien priority of any Mortgagee shall be diminished or otherwise disturbed by virtue of such proceedings.
The Management Committee, with the advice and consent of the Association by a two thirds majority vote of the Association, shall have the power to adopt and establish by resolution, such Project management, operational, administrative and/or house rules and regulations as it may deem necessary for the maintenance, operation, management and control of the Project. The Management Committee may, also with the advice and consent of the Association by a two thirds majority vote of the Association, from time to time by resolution alter, amend and repeal such rules. When a copy of any amendment or alteration or provision for repeal of any rule or rules has been furnished to the Unit Owners, such amendment, alteration or provision shall be taken to be a part of such rules. Unit Owners shall at all times be notified of and obey such rules and see that they are faithfully observed by those persons over whom they have or may exercise control and supervision, it being understood that such rules shall apply and be binding upon all Unit Owners and their lessees, tenants, subtenants or other occupants of the Units and their guests, servants and invitees.
Each Unit Owner, lessee, tenant, subtenant or other occupant of a Unit and their guests, servants and invitees shall comply with the provisions of the Act, this Declaration, the Bylaws, and the house rules and any other administrative rules and regulations and decisions made and issued pursuant thereto, all agreements and determinations lawfully made and/or entered into by the Management Committee or the Association of the Unit Owners, when acting in accordance with their authority, and any failure to comply with any of the provisions thereof shall be grounds for administrative fines to be levied by the Management Committee or the Association or an action by the Management Committee or Association or other aggrieved party for injunctive relief or to recover any loss or damage and reasonable attorney’s fees resulting therefrom.
Each member of the Association, the Management Committee or of any other Association committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Association of Unit Owners against all costs, expenses and liabilities whatsoever, including without limitation, attorney's fees reasonably incurred by him in connection with any proceeding in which he may become involved by reason of his being or having been a member of the Association, said Management Committee or other committee; provided, however, the foregoing indemnification shall not apply if the expense or liability involved resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the member.
a) In addition to the amendment provisions contained in Articles IX and X above, but subject to the terms of Article XXIII, this Declaration and/or the Map may be amended upon the affirmative vote or approval and consent of not less than seventy five percent (75%) of the undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities. Any amendment so authorized shall be accomplished by recordation of an instrument executed by the Management Committee. In said instrument the Management Committee shall verify that the vote or consent required by this Article XXVIII has occurred.
b) Within five (5) years from the recording date hereof, Declarant reserves the right to amend the Declaration if required by the Federal National Mortgage Association or by some other governmental agency or lending institution, provided that such amendment does not materially affect the rights of Unit Owners.
c) The Management Committee may, from time to time and without the hereinabove set forth formalities, amend Appendix B to reflect any change in assignments of parking stalls or storage areas; provided, however, that the effected Unit Owners, if any, join in the execution of such an amendment.
In any case in which the Act or this Declaration requires the vote of a stated percentage of the Project's undivided ownership interest for authorization or approval of a transaction, such requirement may be fully satisfied by obtaining, with or without a meeting, consents in writing to such transaction from Unit Owners who collectively hold at least the stated percentage of undivided ownership interest. The following additional provisions, shall govern any application of this Article XXIX:
a) all necessary consents must be obtained prior to the expiration of ninety (90) days after the first consent is given by any Owner;
b) any change in ownership of a Unit which occurs after consent has been obtained from the Owner having an interest therein shall not be considered or taken into account for any purpose; and
c) unless the consents of all Owners having an interest in the same Unit are secured, the consent of none of such Owners shall be effective.
a) The person to receive service of process in the cases provided herein or in the Act is Michael Polacek, whose current address is 743 East 200 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84102. Said person or his address may be changed by the recordation by the Management Committee of an appropriate instrument.
b) Any notice permitted or required to be delivered as provided herein may be delivered either personally or sent by telephonic facsimile or by mail. If delivery is made by mail, it shall be deemed to be delivered twenty four (24) hours after a copy of the same has been deposited in the U.S. postal service, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Delivery by facsimile shall be deemed completed upon receipt of verification that the facsimile was received. Notice to Unit Owners shall be addressed to each Unit Owner at the address given by such Unit Owner to the Management Committee for the purpose of service of such notice or to the Unit of such Unit Owner if no such address has been given to the Management Committee.

All present and future Unit Owners, Mortgagees, lessees, tenants, subtenants and occupants of Units and their servants, guests and invitees and any other persons who may use the facilities of the Project in any manner are subject to the Declaration, these Bylaws and all house rules and any other rules and/or regulations made pursuant hereto and any amendment thereof. The acceptance of a deed or conveyance or the entering into of a lease or the act of occupancy of a Unit shall constitute an agreement that the provisions of the Declaration and these Bylaws, and any house or other rules and regulations made pursuant thereto, as they may be amended from time to time, are accepted, ratified and will be complied with.
2.1. The administration of the Property on behalf of the Association shall be conducted by a Management Committee (also sometimes referred to as the "Board of Trustees") of five natural individuals. The Management Committee shall have the power to adopt and establish, with the advice and consent of the Association as shown by a two thirds majority vote of the Association, by resolution, such Project management and operational and administrative rules and regulations as it may deem necessary for the maintenance, operation, management and control of the Wasatch Commons Condominium Project, and the Management Committee may from time to time, and with the advice and consent of the Association as shown by a two-thirds vote of the majority of the Association, by resolution, alter, amend, and repeal such rules and regulations. Unit Owners shall at all times obey such rules and regulations and use their best efforts to see that they are faithfully observed by their lessees and any other persons over whom they have or may exercise control or supervision, it being clearly understood that such rules and regulations shall apply and be binding upon all Unit Owners of the Condominium Project and their families, servants, guests, invitees and lessees. Provisions of the Act pertaining to the rules and regulations are incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed a part hereof.
2.2. The Management Committee shall be responsible for the maintenance, control, operation and management of the Project in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Declaration under which the Project was established and submitted to the provisions of the Act, these Bylaws and such rules and regulations as the Association may adopt from time to time as herein provided, and all agreements and determinations lawfully made and entered into by the Association.
2.3. Beginning with the first annual meeting and at every annual meeting thereafter, the Association shall elect, by a two thirds majority vote of the Association, the members of the Management Committee as necessary to fill positions of the members of the Management Committee whose terms have ended or are ending or otherwise need to be filled for the forthcoming year. At least thirty (30) days prior to any annual meeting of the Association, the existing Management Committee may elect from the Unit Owners a nominating committee of not less than three (3) members, none of whom shall be members of the then Management Committee, who shall recommend to the annual meeting one nominee for each position on the Management Committee to be filled at that particular annual meeting. Nominations for positions on the Management Committee may also be made at the annual meeting or by petition filed with the secretary of the Association at least seven (7) days prior to the annual meeting of the Association, which petition shall be signed by ten (10) or more Unit Owners and signed by the nominee named therein indicating his willingness to serve as a member of the Management Committee, if elected. Members of the Management Committee shall be required to be Unit Owners, and must be natural individuals and residents of the State of Utah.
2.4. Members of the Management Committee shall serve for a term of two (2) years; provided, however, that two members of the Management Committee elected at the first annual meeting shall serve for an initial term of one (1) year and the three other members shall serve for initial terms of two (2) years. Thereafter, all Management Committee members elected shall serve for a two year term. The terms of no more than three members will end each year. The members of the Management Committee shall serve until their respective successors are elected, or until their death, resignation or removal. Any member of the Management Committee who fails to attend three consecutive Management Committee meetings or fails to attend at least 25% of the Management Committee meetings held during any calendar year shall forfeit his membership on the Management Committee, unless his absence is agreed to by prior written consent of the Management Committee.
2.5. Any member of the Management Committee may resign at any time by giving written notice to the president of the Association, or to the remaining Management Committee members. Any member of the Management Committee may be removed from membership on the Management Committee by a two thirds majority vote of the Association. Whenever there shall occur a vacancy on the Management Committee due to death, resignation, removal or any other cause, the remaining members shall elect a successor member to serve until the next annual meeting of the Association, at which time said vacancy shall be filled by the Association for the unexpired term, if any.
2.6. The members of the Management Committee shall receive no compensation for their services unless expressly approved by a two-thirds majority of the Association; provided, however, that any member of the Management Committee may be employed by the Association in another capacity and receive compensation for such employment.

The Management Committee shall have the powers, duties and responsibilities with respect to the Property as contained in the Act, the Declaration and these Bylaws.
2.8. The meetings of the Management Committee shall be held at such places within the State of Utah as the Management Committee shall determine and shall be open to any and all members of the Association. Four (4) members of the Management Committee shall constitute a quorum, and if a quorum is present, the decision of a majority of those present shall be the act of the Management Committee.

The meeting for the election of officers shall be held at the first meeting of the Management Committee immediately following the annual meeting of the Association.
2.9. Regular meetings of the Management Committee may be held without call or notice but their time and place will be communicated to the Association by posting notification of the same in a prominent position in the Project's Common Areas and Facilities.
2.10. Special meetings of the Management Committee may be called by the president or by any two Management Committee members. The person or persons calling a special meeting of the Management Committee shall, at least ten (10) days before the meeting, give notice thereof by any usual means of communication. Such notice need not specify the purpose for which the meeting is called; if an agenda is prepared for such a meeting, the meeting need not be restricted to discussions of those items listed on the agenda.
2.11. Any member of the Management Committee may, at any time, waive notice of any meeting of the Management Committee in writing, and such waiver shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance by a member of the Management Committee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except if a Management Committee member attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called. If all the members of the Management Committee are present at any meeting of the Management Committee, no notice shall be required and any business may be transacted at such meeting.
2.12. Until a date five (5) years from the recording of the Declaration, or until Units to which three- fourths (3/4) of the appurtenant undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities have been conveyed, whichever occurs first, the Declarant, or some other person or persons selected or to be selected by Declarant, may appoint and remove four (4) members of the Management Committee and all officers of the Association, or, at Declarant's option, may exercise the powers and responsibilities otherwise assigned by the Declaration, these Bylaws, and the Act to the Association. The first annual meeting of the Association shall be held within 120 days of the happening of the first event described in the preceding sentence, at which time the Association shall elect the initial members of the Management Committee.
2.13. If the Unit Owners' Association or Management Committee is not in existence or does not have officers at the time of the creation of the Project, the Declarant shall, until there is an Association or Management Committee with these officers, have the power and responsibility to act in all instances where the Act or the Declaration requires action by the Unit Owners' Association, the Management Committee, or any of the officers of them. The provisions of this subsection 2.13 shall be strictly construed to protect the rights of the Unit Owners.
2.14. After the election of the members of the Management Committee at the first annual meeting of the Association, Declarant may execute, acknowledge and record an affidavit stating the names of the members of the newly elected Management Committee. Thereafter, any two (2) persons who are designated of record as being members of the most recent Management Committee, regardless of whether or not they shall still be members, may execute, acknowledge and record an affidavit stating the names of all of the members of the then current Management Committee. The most recently recorded of such affidavits shall be prima facie evidence that the persons named therein are all of the incumbent members of the Management Committee and shall be conclusive evidence thereof in favor of all persons who rely thereon in good faith.
2.15. The Management Committee may carry out through a Project Manager any of its functions which are properly the subject to delegation. Any Manager so engaged shall be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Management Committee, shall be responsible for managing the Project for the benefit of the Management Committee and the Association, and shall, to the extent permitted by law and the terms of the agreement with the Management Committee, be authorized to perform any of the functions or acts required or permitted to be performed by the Management Committee itself. Any agreement for professional management of the Project which may be entered into by the Management Committee or the Association shall call for a term not exceeding two (2) years and shall provide that such management agreement may be terminated by the Management Committee or by the Association upon not in excess of ninety (90) days written notice.
2.16. Copies of all house rules and all other rules and regulations adopted by the Management Committee and/or the Association shall be delivered to all Unit Owners at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date thereof, as well as prominently posted within the Project's Common Areas and Facilities.
2.17. The fiscal year shall be determined by the Management Committee.

3.4. Robert's Rules of Order (latest edition) shall govern the conduct of the Association's and any committee's meetings when not in conflict with the Declaration or these Bylaws.
4.1. All officers of the Association shall be elected by and serve at the will of the Management Committee. The officers shall be a president, secretary and treasurer. The Management Committee may appoint such other assistant officers as the Management Committee may deem necessary. Each officer shall be required to be a Unit Owner and a member of the Management Committee. No officer shall receive compensation for serving as such.
4.2. The president shall be the chief executive of the Management Committee and shall preside at all meetings of the Association and of the Management Committee and may exercise the powers ordinarily allocable to the presiding officer of an association, including the appointment of committees. The president shall exercise general supervision over the Project and its affairs. He shall sign on behalf of the Association all conveyances, mortgages and contracts of material importance to its business. He shall do and perform all acts which the Management Committee may require.
4.3. The secretary shall keep minutes of all proceedings of the Management Committee and of the meetings of the Association and shall keep such books and records as may be necessary and appropriate for the records of the Association and the Management Committee. In the absence or inability of the president, the secretary shall perform the functions of the president.
4.4. The treasurer shall be responsible for the fiscal affairs of the Association, but may, with agreement from the Management Committee, delegate the daily handling of funds and the keeping of records to a manager or managing company.
5.1. All assessments for Common Expenses shall be made in accordance with the general provisions of Article XVIII of the Declaration.
5.2. At least ten (10) days prior to each annual meeting of the Association, the Management Committee shall estimate the Common Expenses and capital contributions for the upcoming year and present a written budget for the upcoming fiscal year to the Association for the approval and ratification, at the annual meeting, by a two- thirds majority of the Association's members. The estimated capital contributions may include such amounts as the Management Committee may deem proper for general working capital, for the general operating reserve, for a reserve fund for replacements and major maintenance and shall take into account any expected income, surplus or deficit in the Common Expenses for any prior year. These estimated capital contributions and Common Expenses shall be presented at the annual meeting and thereafter shall be assessed on a monthly basis to the Unit Owners in proportion to their equal percentage of undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities as set forth in the Declaration. If the estimated Common Expenses prove inadequate for any reason, including nonpayment of any Unit Owner's assessments, the Management Committee may, by resolution duly adopted by a two-thirds majority vote of the Association, make any other, additional, special or extra assessments, which shall be assessed to the Unit Owners in the same manner as the estimated Common Expenses. Each Unit Owner shall be obligated to pay to the Management Committee assessments made pursuant to this paragraph on or before the first day of each month, or in such other reasonable manner as the Management Committee shall designate. The funds received by the Management Committee from assessments shall be kept in either capital accounts or in the Common Expense fund and shall be expended by the Management Committee only in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Declaration and these Bylaws.
5.3. Every determination by the Management Committee with respect to Common Expenses and common expenditures necessary to maintain the Project, that is made within the bounds of the Act, the Declaration, and these Bylaws, shall be final and conclusive as to the Unit Owners and shall be deemed necessary and properly made for such purposes.
5.4. The rights, duties and functions of the Management Committee set forth in this paragraph shall be exercised by Declarant until thirty (30) days after the first annual meeting of the Association.
5.5. The failure by the Management Committee before the expiration of any year, to estimate the Common Expenses as required herein, shall not be deemed a waiver or modification in any respect of the provisions of the Declaration or these Bylaws or a release of the Unit Owners from the obligation to pay any past or future assessments, and the estimated Common Expenses fixed for the previous and current year shall continue until a new estimate is fixed.
5.6. Amendments to this paragraph 5 shall be effective only upon a two-thirds majority written consent of the Unit Owners.
5.7. No Unit Owner may exempt himself from liability for Common Expenses by waiver of the use or enjoyment of any of the Common Areas and Facilities or by abandonment of his Unit.
5.8. The treasurer shall keep detailed records of all receipts and expenditures, including expenditures affecting the Common Areas and Facilities, specifying and itemizing the maintenance, repair and replacement expenses of the Common Areas and Facilities and any other expenses incurred. Such record shall be available for examination by the Unit Owners during regular business hours. In accordance with the actions of the Management Committee assessing common expenses against the Units and Unit Owners, the treasurer shall keep an accurate record of such assessments and of the payments thereof by each Unit Owner.
5.9. All Common Expense assessments and any other, special, additional, or extra assessments shall be a separate, distinct and personal liability of the Owner of the Unit at the time each such assessment is made. The Management Committee shall have the rights and remedies contained in the Act and in the Declaration to enforce the collection of any such assessments.
5.10. Any person who shall have entered into a written agreement to purchase a Unit shall be entitled to obtain a written statement from the treasurer setting forth the amount of unpaid assessments charged against the Unit and its Owners, and if such statement does not reveal the full amount of the unpaid assessments as of the date it is rendered, neither the purchaser nor the Unit shall be liable for the payment of an amount in excess of the unpaid assessments shown thereon, provided that the former Unit Owner grantor shall remain so liable. Any such excess which cannot be promptly collected from the former Unit Owner grantor shall be reassessed by the Management Committee as a Common Expense to be collected from all Unit Owners, including without limitation the purchaser of the Unit, his successors and assigns. The new Unit Owner shall and the former Unit Owner shall not be liable for any assessments made after the date of transfer of title to a Unit, even though the Common Expenses for the expenses incurred or the advances made by the Management Committee for which the assessment is made relate in whole or in part of any period prior to that date.
5.11. In the event that title to a Unit is transferred at sheriff's sale pursuant to execution upon any lien against the Unit, the Management Committee shall give notice in writing to the sheriff of any unpaid regular and/or special, extra or additional assessments for Common Expenses which are a lien against the Unit, and for any expenses of or advances by the Management Committee which have not theretofore been reduced to a lien, both of which shall be paid out of the proceeds of the sale in the order of priority to which they are entitled and in any event prior to the distribution of any balance to the former Unit Owner against whom the execution was issued. Any such unpaid assessments which cannot be promptly collected from the former Unit Owner, or from the sales proceeds, shall be reassessed by the Management Committee as a Common Expense to be collected from all of the Unit Owners, including the purchaser who acquired title at the sheriff's sale, his successors and assigns. To protect its rights to collect unpaid assessments for Common Expenses which are a lien against a Unit, and for any other assessments, expenses of and advances by the Management Committee, the Management Committee may on behalf of all the Unit Owners, purchase the Unit at sheriff's sale, provided such action is authorized by the affirmative vote of a two thirds majority of the members of the Association.
5.12. In addition to the statements issuable to purchasers of Units, the Management Committee shall provide a current statement of unpaid assessments for Common Expenses and for any expenses of and advances by the Management Committee in respect of the Unit, to the Unit Owner, to any person who shall have entered into a binding agreement to purchase the Unit and to any Mortgagee on request at reasonable intervals.
5.13. In all cases where, all or part of any assessments for Common Expenses and for any expenses of and advances by the Management Committee cannot be promptly collected from the persons or entities liable therefor under the Act, Declaration or Bylaws, the Management Committee shall reassess the same as a Common Expense, without prejudice to its rights of collection against such persons or entities.
6.1. If any action is brought by one or more but less than all Unit Owners on behalf of the Association and recovery is had, the plaintiff's expenses, including reasonable counsel's fees, shall be a Common Expense; provided, however, that if such action is brought against the Unit Owners or against the Management Committee, the officers, employees, or agents thereof, in their capacities as such, with the result that the ultimate liability asserted would, if proved, be borne by all the Unit Owners, the plaintiff's expenses, including counsel fees, shall not be charged to or borne by the other Unit Owners, as a Common Expense or otherwise.
6.2. Complaints brought against the Association, the Management Committee or the officers, employees or agents thereof, in their respective capacities as such, or the Property as a whole, shall be directed to the Management Committee, which shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Unit Owners and any Mortgagees and shall be defended by the Management Committee, and the Unit Owners and Mortgagees shall have no right to participate other than through the Management Committee in such defense. Complaints against one or more, but less than all Unit Owners shall be directed to such Unit Owners, who shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Management Committee and to the Mortgagees affecting such Units, and shall be defended by such Unit Owners.
6.3. All conflicts between the Association, the Management Committee or any other special committee or Unit Owners and one or more of the same will be settled as amicably and expeditiously as possible by the full Association and pursuant to its then existing conflict resolution procedures and guidelines. If that fails to resolve the dispute, a local mediation service will be first employed and paid for in equal shares by each of the parties to the dispute and by the Association in order to try to settle the same.
The violation of any house rule or administrative rule or regulation adopted by the Association or the Management Committee or the breach of any provision contained herein, or the breach of any provision of the Declaration or the Act, shall give the Management Committee the right, in addition to any other rights set forth in these Bylaws and/or the Declaration and/or the Act:
(i) To enter the Unit in which or as to which such violation or breach exists and to similarly abate and remove, at the expense of the defaulting Unit Owner, any structure, thing or condition that may exist therein contrary to the intent and meaning of the provisions hereof, and the Management Committee shall not thereby be deemed guilty in any manner of trespass; or
(ii) To fine administratively and/or to enjoin, abate or remedy by appropriate legal proceedings, either at law or in equity, the continuance of any such breach.
8.1. The books and accounts of the Association and of the Management Committee shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures under the direction of the treasurer.
8.2. At the close of each accounting year, the books and records of the Management Committee shall be reviewed by a person or firm approved by the Unit Owners. Report of such review shall be prepared and submitted to the Unit Owners at or before the annual meeting of the Unit Owners; provided, however, that a certified audit by a certified public accountant approved by the Unit Owners shall be made if Owners representing at least seventy five (75) percent of the undivided interest in the Common Areas and Facilities determine to require the same. Any accounting procedure costs relating to the Project and/or the Association's books would be a Common Expense.
8.3. The books and accounts of the Association shall be available for inspection at the office of the Association by any Unit Owner or his authorized representative during regular business hours. All other books and records of the Association, names and addresses officers, committee members, and Unit Owners, minutes of Owner and committee meetings, and other pertinent documents, shall also be available at the office of the Association for inspection or copying by any Unit Owner.
The Management Committee and/or the Association, by resolution, may designate one or more special committees, each committee to consist of two (2) or more Unit Owners or their lessees, which to the extent provided in said resolution, shall have and may exercise the powers set forth in said resolution. Such special committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by the Management Committee or the Association. Such special committees shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Association and/or the Management Committee when required. The members of such special committee or committees designated shall be appointed by the Management Committee, the Association or the president. The Management Committee, Association or the president may appoint Unit Owners or their lessees to fill vacancies on each of said special committees occasioned by death, resignation, removal or inability to act for any extended period of time.
These Bylaws may be altered or amended in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as apply with respect to an amendment of the Declaration.
The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision or portion hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
The captions herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way to define, limit or describe the scope of these Bylaws nor the intent of any provision hereof.
These bylaws shall take effect upon recording of the Declaration of which they are a part.
