1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Accept the Amended Mammoth Creek HOA CC&R’s
Meeting Date: July 12, 2023
Prepared by: Kim Cooke, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:

Accept the Amended Mammoth Creek HOA CC&R’s
BACKGROUND:

The Mammoth Creek HOA CC&Rs were recently amended and approved by a vote of the owners. The Attorney for the Mammoth Creek HOA subsequently requested Town staff facilitate acceptance by Town Council because Section 13.4 of the 2009 CC&R's contains the requirement for Town Council approval of any material CC&R amendments. The updated CC&Rs represent a rewrite of the 2009 CC&R's, which is a material amendment.

The Town does not enforce CC&Rs and is not typically involved in the review or acceptance of revisions or updates to existing HOA CC&Rs. Section 13.4 of the 2009 CC&Rs will be replaced by Section 10.4 of the updated CC&Rs as shown below:
 2009 Version Section 13.4. states, “Any Amendment to this Declaration which would substantially and materially change any of the terms and conditions of the use restrictions, maintenance requirements, architectural provisions, insurance provisions, mortgagee protection provisions and amendment provisions or this Article, other than changes that reflect new laws that control, shall require written consent of the County of Mono or Town of Mammoth Lakes, California, depending on which has jurisdiction.”
 Updated Version Section 10.4 states, “This Declaration may be amended only by the affirmative vote or written consent of Members representing a majority of the Voting Power of the Association. However, the percentage of Voting Power necessary to amend a specific clause shall not be less than the prescribed percentage of affirmative votes required for action to be taken under that clause. Any amendment must be certified in a writing executed and acknowledged by the president or vice president of the Association and recorded in the office of the Mono County Recorder. All amendments affecting matters within the regulatory power of the Town of Mammoth Lakes must be approved by the attorney for the Town of Mammoth Lakes. No amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the holder of any Mortgage of record prior to the recordation of such amendment.” ANALYSIS:

The new language included within the updated CC&Rs eliminates the requirement for Town Council to accept any future updates or amendments to the Mammoth Creek

Page 33 of 254 ends

2 CC&R’s. This revision provides greater flexibility to the HOA board in overseeing its operations and is consistent with Zoning Code Section 17.04.030 – Agreements. Staff has reviewed and compared the CC&R versions to ensure the updates are appropriate and maintain the necessary provisions that are required for common interest developments located in the Town.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The request is consistent with Municipal Code Section 17.04.030 – Agreements, which states, “The provisions of the Zoning Code are not intended to abrogate any easements, covenants, or other existing agreements which are more restrictive than the provisions of this Zoning Code.”

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT, DIVISION OF PROPERTY,

AND CREATION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS

2.1 Description of Project: The project is a condominium project consisting of the land, Condominiums and all other improvements located thereon in accordance with the Condominium Plan.

2.2 Division of Property: The property is divided as follows:

A. Units: Each of the Units as separately shown, numbered and designated in the Condominium Plan consists of the space bounded by and contained within the interior unfinished surfaces of the perimeter wall studs, floors, ceilings, windows, window frames, doors and door frames and trim, of each Unit, each of such spaces being defined and referred to herein as a "Unit". Drywall shall be a part of the Unit. Bearing walls located within the interior of a Unit are Common Area, not part of the Unit, except for the finished surfaces thereof. Fireboxes are Common Area, excepting only the fascia thereof, which are part of the Unit. Exposed beams in ceilings shall not be part of the Unit except for finished surfaces thereof. Each Unit includes the utility installations located within or without its boundaries that the Owner has exclusive use of, including, without limitation: hot water heaters, wall and radiant heaters and lighting fixtures which are located entirely within the Unit they serve. However, wall heaters shall be cleaned at the behest and cost of the Association, notwithstanding that they are not Common Area. Each Unit includes both the portions of the building so described and the airspace so encompassed. The Unit does not include those areas and those things which are defined as “Common Area" in Section

1.6. Each Unit is subject to such encroachments as are contained in the building, whether the same now exist or may be later caused or created in any manner referred to in Section 10.5. In interpreting deeds and Condominium Plans, the then existing physical boundaries of a Unit in the project, when the boundaries of the Unit are contained within a building, or of a Unit reconstructed in substantial accordance with the original plans thereof, shall be conclusively presumed to be its boundaries rather than the boundaries expressed in the deed or Condominium Plan, regardless of settling or lateral movement of the building and regardless of minor variance between boundaries shown on the plan or deed and those of the building. Each Unit shall have appurtenant to it nonexclusive rights of ingress, egress, and support through the Common Area subject to the rights of each Owner in any Restricted Common Area appurtenant to that Owner's Condominium.

Page 49 of 254 ends

6 Each Owner shall have, as appurtenant to the Owner's Unit, an equal undivided interest in the Common Area. Each includes a Unit and such undivided interest in the Common Area. The Common Interest appurtenant to each Unit is permanent in character and cannot be altered without the consent of all of the Owners affected, as expressed in an amended declaration. Such undivided Common Interest cannot be separated from the Unit to which it is appurtenant, and any conveyance or transfer of the Unit includes the undivided Common Interest, the Owner's membership in the Association, and any other benefits or burdens appurtenant to that Owner's Condominium.

B. Common Areas: The remainder of the property constitutes and shall be referred to herein as "Common Area" or "Common Areas", and includes, without limitation, all of the elements set forth in Section 1.6.

Each Owner may use the Common Area in accordance with the purposes for which it is intended without hindering the exercise of or encroaching on the rights of any other Condominium Owners, subject to the rights of each Owner in any Restricted Common Area appurtenant to that Owner’s Condominium.

C. Restricted Common Areas: The following described portions of the Common Area, referred to as "Restricted Common Areas", are set aside and allocated for the exclusive use of the Owner of the Condominium to which they are attached or assigned by Unit number as shown on the Condominium Plan, and are appurtenant to that Condominium:

1. Exterior windows and doors, and any screens for such windows and doors;

2. Front porches, and first and second floor decks.

3. The Fireboxes within a Unit, excepting only the fascia thereof.

D. Inserts and flues: In the event the Town of Mammoth Lakes, or any other governmental entity, requires the installation of inserts and/or flue pipes into Fireboxes, then the cost of such installation shall be borne by the Owner(s) of the subject Unit, notwithstanding that the Fireboxes (with the exception of the fascias thereof) are, and shall remain Common Area.

2.3 Rights of Entry and Use: The Units and Common Area (including Restricted Common Area) shall be subject to the following rights of entry and use:

A. The right of the agents or employees of the Association to enter any Unit as necessary in an emergency.

B. The right, but not the obligation, of the agents or employees of the Association to enter any Unit that is either unoccupied, or being rented on a transient basis, monthly to perform a safety check as described in the Rules and Regulations of the Association.

Page 50 of 254 ends

7 C. The right of the Association agents or employees to enter any Unit to cure any violation of this Declaration or the Bylaws, provided that the Owner has received notice and a hearing as required by the Bylaws (except in the case of an emergency) and the Owner has failed to cure the violation or take steps necessary to cure the violation within thirty (30) days after the finding of a violation by the Association.

D. The access rights of the Association to inspect, maintain, repair or replace improvements or Property located in the Common Area as described in Section 5.2(D).

E. The rights of the Owners and the Association to install, maintain, repair, or replace utilities as described in Article VI.

F. The encroachment easements described in Section 10.5.

G. The rights of Owners to make improvements or alterations authorized by Civil Code section 4760(a)(2), as that section may be amended over time, subject to the provisions of Section 7.11 to the extent applicable.

2.4 Owner's Right and Obligation to Maintain and Repair: Except for those portions of the project which the Association is required to maintain and repair, each Condominium Owner shall, at his sole cost and expense, maintain and repair his or her Unit keeping the same in good condition. Each Owner shall bear the cost of maintenance, repair and replacement of the following items within or serving such Owner's Unit, among others (as applicable): interior surfaces of all perimeter and interior walls, ceilings and floors (including carpeting and tile when completed in compliance with section 7.18, wall paper, paint or other covering); garbage disposals, hot water heaters, ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, light fixtures and any and all other appliances of any nature whatsoever; heating and ventilating equipment exclusively servicing such Unit (although such equipment may be located in part outside such Unit); interior doors, including all hardware thereon; light bulbs; plumbing and other fixtures of any nature whatsoever; "built-in" features; and decorative features, and any furniture and furnishings. Owners shall take all reasonable steps to avoid risk of harm to other Units including, without limitation, maintaining sufficient heat to avoid frozen pipes, maintaining water heaters in good repair to avoid flooding, and using precautions to avoid fires when emptying ashes from fireboxes and when using those barbeques permitted by Section 7.16.

All electric utilities serving individual Units shall be separately metered and shall be the expense of each individual Owner. Electric utilities serving the general common elements shall be a Common Expense of the Association. In addition, each Owner shall keep those portions of the Restricted Common Area to which he has exclusive easements rights clean and neat. Each Owner shall have the exclusive right to paint, plaster, panel, tile, wax, paper, or otherwise refinish and decorate the inner surfaces of the walls, ceilings, floors, window frames and doors bounding his Unit, except that second floor flooring modifications are subject to the provisions of Section 7.18.

In the event an Owner fails to maintain the interior of his Unit in a manner which the Board deems necessary to preserve the appearance and value of the property, the Board may notify the Owner of the work required and request it be done within sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice.

Page 51 of 254 ends

8 In the event the Owners fails to carry out such maintenance within said period, the Board may, following notice and hearing as provided in the Bylaws, cause such work to be done and the costs thereof shall immediately be paid by such Owner to the Association and until paid shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (but no greater than the maximum rate authorized by law).

2.5 Partition Prohibited: The Common Areas shall remain undivided as set forth above. Except as provided by Civil Code section 4610, as that section may be amended over time, or authorized under Section 9.9, no Owner shall bring any action for partition of the Common Areas, it being agreed that this restriction is necessary in order to preserve the rights of the Owners with respect to the operation and management of the project. Judicial partition by sale of a single Condominium owned by two (2) or more persons and division of the sale proceeds is not prohibited hereby, but partition of title to a single Condominium is prohibited.

ARTICLE III

ASSOCIATION, ADMINISTRATION, MEMBERSHIP

AND VOTING RIGHTS

3.1 Association to Manage Common Areas: The management of the Common Area shall be vested in the Association in accordance with this Declaration and the Bylaws. The Owners of all the Condominiums covenant and agree that the administration of the project shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration, and of the Articles and Bylaws and Rules of the Association.

3.2 Board of Directors: The Association shall be governed by a Board of Directors, who shall be elected in accordance with the Bylaws of the Association. The Board of Directors shall have all authority to govern and manage the affairs of the Association consistent with applicable law, this Declaration and the Bylaws.

3.3 Membership: The Owner of a Condominium shall automatically, upon becoming the Owner of same, be a Member of the Association, and shall remain a Member thereof until such time as the ownership ceases for any reason, at which time the membership in the Association shall automatically cease. Membership shall be held in accordance with this Declaration, the Articles and Bylaws of the Association.

3.4 Transferred Membership: Membership in the Association shall not be transferred, encumbered, pledged, or alienated in any way, except upon the sale or encumbrance of the Condominium to which it is appurtenant, and then only to the purchaser, in the case of a sale, or Mortgagee, in the case of an encumbrance of such Condominium. On any transfer of title to an Owner's Condominium, including a transfer on the death of an Owner, membership passes automatically with title to the transferee.

A Mortgagee does not have membership rights until it obtains title to the Condominium by foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof. Any attempt to make a prohibited transfer is

Page 52 of 254 ends

9 void. No Member may resign his or her membership. On notice of a transfer, the Association shall record the transfer on its books.

3.5 Voting Rights: Each Unit shall be entitled to cast one vote on each question presented to the membership. Except as herein or in the Bylaws provided to the contrary, a vote of a simple majority of the Voting Power of the Association shall decide each question, provided that a quorum as defined in the Bylaws exists.

3.6 Notification of Sale of Unit: Concurrently with the consummation of the sale of any Unit or any portion thereof, under circumstances which the transferee becomes an Owner thereof, the transferee shall notify the Board in writing of such sale. Such notification shall set forth (i) the name of the transferee(s) and transferor(s), (ii) the number of the Unit being transferred, (iii) the transferee's mailing and street addresses and, (iv) the date of sale. Prior to receipt of such notification, any and all communications or notices from the Association, the Board or any agents thereof shall be deemed to be duly made and given to the transferee if duly and timely made and given to said transferee's transferor.

ARTICLE IV

ASSESSMENTS

4.1 Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments: Each Owner of any Condominium by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, covenants and agrees: (1) to pay to the Association Regular Assessments or charges, and Special Assessments for purposes permitted herein, such Assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided; and (2) to allow the Association to enforce any assessment lien established hereunder by nonjudicial proceedings under a power of sale or by any other means authorized by law. The Regular and Special Assessments, together with interest, late charges, collection costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a charge on the Condominium and shall be a continuing lien upon the Condominium against which each such Assessment is made, the lien to become effective upon recordation of a notice of delinquent assessment. Each such Assessment, together with interest, late charges, collection costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Condominium at the time when the Assessment fell due. No Owner shall be exempt from liability for payment of Assessments by waiver of the use or enjoyment of any of the Common Areas or by the abandonment of the Owner's Condominium.

4.2 Purpose of Assessments: The Assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the economic interests, recreation, health, safety, and welfare of the Owners in the project, and to provide insurance, improvement, and maintenance of the Common Area for the common good of the project.

Page 53 of 254 ends

10 4.3 Assessments:

A. Regular Assessments: The Board shall establish and levy Regular Assessments in an amount that the Board estimates will be sufficient to raise the funds needed to perform the duties of the Association during each fiscal year, such Assessments to be determined for each Condominium in accordance with the calculation set forth in Section 4.6 of this Declaration. Subject to the provisions of this Declaration, the Board may change the amount of Regular Assessments or the frequency of the billing of such Assessments at any time.

The Regular Assessment shall include a portion for reserves in such amounts as the Board in its discretion considers appropriate to meet the costs of the future repair, replacement or additions to the major components that the Association is obligated to maintain and repair. Reserve funds need not be deposited in a separate account, but must be separately accounted for on the books of the Association. Except as provided in Section 12.3 of the Bylaws, Section 5.2(O) of this Declaration and Civil Code sections 5510(b) and 5515 as those sections may be amended over time, reserve funds may not be expended for any purpose other than repairing, replacing or adding to the major components that the Association is obligated to maintain without the consent of Owners holding a majority of the Voting Power at a duly held meeting or by written ballot.

B. Special Assessments: The Board, at any time, may levy a Special Assessment in order to raise funds for unexpected operating or other costs, insufficient operating or reserve funds, or such other purposes as the Board in its discretion considers appropriate. Except as provided in Sections 4.6(B) and 9.4, Special Assessments shall be allocated among the Units in the same manner and according to the same percentages as Regular Assessments. Special Assessments may be collected in one (1) payment or periodically as the Board shall direct.

4.4 Restrictions on Regular or Special Assessments:

A. Annual increases in Regular Assessments for any fiscal year shall not be imposed unless the Board has complied with paragraphs (1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) of subdivision (b) of Civil Code section 5300 with respect to that fiscal year (addressing notice to Owners of certain financial matters such as budgets and reserve accounts), or has obtained the approval of a majority of a quorum of Members at a Member meeting or election.

B. The Board may not impose a Regular Assessment on any Condominium which is more than 20% greater than the Regular Assessment for the immediate preceding fiscal year or levy a Special Assessment to defray the cost of any action or undertaking on behalf of the Association which in the aggregate exceeds 5% of the budgeted gross expenses of the Association for that fiscal year, without the vote or written assent of Members casting a majority of the votes at a meeting or election of the Association at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this Section 4.4, a "quorum" means more than fifty percent (50%) of the Members of the Association.

Page 54 of 254 ends

11 C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, without membership approval, may increase Regular Assessments or levy Special Assessments necessary for an emergency situation. For purposes of this section, an emergency situation is one of the following:
(1) an extraordinary expense required by an order of a court, (2) an extraordinary expense necessary to repair or maintain the property or any part of it for which the Association is responsible where a threat to personal safety on the property is discovered, or
(3) an extraordinary expense necessary to repair or maintain the property or any part of it for which the Association is responsible that could not have been reasonably foreseen by the Board in preparing and distributing the proforma operating budget, provided, however that prior to the imposition or collection of the Assessment, the Board shall pass a resolution containing written findings as to the necessity of the extraordinary expense involved and why the expense was not or could not have been reasonably foreseen in the budgeting process and the resolution shall be distributed to the Members with the notice of the Assessment.

This Section 4.4 incorporates the statutory requirements of Civil Code sections 5600-5610, as those sections may be amended over time. If these sections of the Civil Code are amended in any manner, this Section 4.4 automatically shall be amended in the same manner without the necessity of amending this Declaration.

4.5 Notice of Assessment Increase: The Association shall provide individual notice pursuant to Civil Code section 4040 to the Members of any increase in the Regular or Special Assessments of the Association, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Assessment becoming due.

4.6 Assessment Calculation:

A. Regular Assessments: All Regular Assessments shall be as determined by the Board and shall be levied among each Unit as follows: One bedroom, .015 percent of the total assessment; one bedroom and loft and two bedroom units, .016 percent of the total assessment; and two bedroom and loft units, .01825 percent of the total assessment.

B. Special Assessments: Except as provided in Sections 4.4 and 4.6(B)(3), all Special Assessments shall be as determined by the Board. All Special Assessments shall be levied among the Units in accordance with the percentages for Regular Assessments set forth in Section

4.6(A), except as follows:

1. Special Assessments may be levied by the Board against an Owner to reimburse the Association for costs incurred in bringing the Owner and such Owner’s Unit into compliance with the project documents.

Page 55 of 254 ends

12 2. Special Assessments may be levied by the Board against an Owner (i) to fund the cost of any repair or replacement of the Common Area (including Restricted Common Area) necessitated, as determined in the discretion of the Board, by the actions of that Owner; and (ii) to fund a modification to Common Area that is requested by an Owner, is limited to that Owner’s Unit only, and is approved by the Board in accordance with Section 7.10. The Board shall have the discretion to require payment of any Special Assessment authorized by this section prior to having any such work done.

3. Special Assessments may be levied against a discrete segment of the Owners (more than one) if approved by both all the Owners and by the Owners to be specially assessed in accordance with Section 5.3(C)(5) for the purpose of approving a modification to Restricted Common Area that benefits only that segment of Owners so long as the Special Assessment is proportionately divided among each of the Owners that benefit from the modifications.

4. Subject to the specific Special Assessment authorizations set forth in Section 4.6(B), the Board shall additionally have the authority to allocate Special Assessments among each Condominium as deemed appropriate by the Board in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. The Board shall notify the Owners in its notice of the Special Assessment of the method used to derive the allocation of each such Special Assessment and the factors relied upon by the Board in arriving at that method. Special Assessments may be allocated differently among categories of Condominiums or may even be allocated differently for each Condominium, so long as the Board’s allocation is within the exercise of its reasonable discretion and based on factors articulated in its notice to the Owners.

5. Special Assessments as described in Section 9.4 (regarding damage or destruction).

4.7 Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments: In accordance with Civil Code section 5650(b), as may be amended from time to time, any Assessment not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall be delinquent, and shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (but no greater than the maximum amount allowed by law) commencing thirty (30) days after the due date until paid, and shall incur a late payment penalty in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the delinquent Assessment or ten dollars ($10), whichever is greater.

4.8 Transfer of Condominium by Sale or Foreclosure: Each holder of a first Mortgage on a Condominium who comes into possession of the Condominium by virtue of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under a first deed of trust, will take the Condominium free of any claims for unpaid Assessments and fees, late charges, fines, or interest levied in connection therewith against the Condominium which accrue prior to the time such holder takes title to the Condominium, except for claims for a pro rata share of such Assessments or charges to all project Condominiums including the mortgaged Condominium, and except for assessment liens recorded prior to the Mortgage.

Page 56 of 254 ends

13 In any transfer of a Condominium a grantor shall remain liable to the Association for all unpaid Assessments against the Condominium up to the date of the record transfer. The grantee shall be entitled to a statement from the Association dated as of the date of record transfer, setting forth the amount of the unpaid Assessments against the grantor due to the Association, and the Condominium so transferred shall not be subject to a lien for unpaid Assessments in excess of the amount set forth in the statement, provided, however, the grantee shall be liable for any such Assessments that become due after the date of the record transfer. Under no circumstances shall transfers not evidenced by the proper recordation of a document of transfer with the Mono County Recorder be effective to alter or discharge the liability of the transferor under this Declaration.

Members of the Association shall remain Members for all purposes until the date of recordation of a valid document of transfer.

4.9 Priorities; Enforcement; Remedies: If an Assessment is delinquent, the Association may record a notice of delinquent assessment and establish a lien against the Condominium of the delinquent Owner prior and superior to all other liens except (1) all taxes, bonds, Assessments, and other levies which, by law, would be superior thereto, and (2) the lien or charge of any prior Mortgage of record made in good faith and for value. The notice of delinquent assessment shall state the amount of the Assessment, collection costs, attorney's fees, late charges, and interest, a description of the Condominium against which the Assessment and other sums are levied, the name of the Record Owner, and the name and address of the trustee authorized by the Association to enforce the lien by sale. The notice shall be signed by any officer of the Association, any attorney of the Association, or any management agent retained by the Association.

An assessment lien may be enforced in any manner permitted by law, including sale by the court, sale by the trustee designated in the notice of delinquent assessment, or sale by a trustee substituted pursuant to Civil Code section 2934(a), as that section may be amended over time. Any sale shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2924, 2924b, 2924c, 2924f, 2924g, and 2924h of the Civil Code, as those sections may be amended over time, or any successor statutes thereto, applicable to the exercise of powers of sale in Mortgages and deeds of trust, or in any other manner permitted by law. Nothing herein shall preclude the Association from bringing an action directly against an Owner for breach of the personal obligation to pay Assessments.

Fines and penalties for violation of restrictions are not "Assessments", and are not enforceable by assessment lien.

The Association, acting on behalf of the Condominium Owners, shall have the power to bid for the Condominium at foreclosure sale, and to acquire and hold, lease, Mortgage, and convey the same. Where the purchase of a foreclosure Condominium will result in a five percent (5%) or greater increase in Assessments, the purchase shall require the vote or written consent of a majority of the total Voting Power of the Association. During the period a Condominium is owned by the Association, following foreclosure: (1) No right to vote shall be exercised on behalf of the Condominium; (2) no Assessment shall be assessed or levied on the Condominium; and (3) each other Condominium shall be charged, in addition to its usual Assessment, its share of the Assessment that would have been charged to such Condominium had

Page 57 of 254 ends

14 it not been acquired by the Association as a result of foreclosure. Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid Common Expenses, rent, and attorneys' fees shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same.

After acquiring title to the Condominium at foreclosure sale following notice and publication, the Association may execute, acknowledge, and record a deed conveying title to the Condominium which deed shall be binding on the Owners, successors, and all other parties.

The Board may temporarily suspend the voting rights and the right to use recreational facilities of a Member who is in default in payment of any Assessment, after notice and hearing, as provided in the Bylaws.

In acting to collect delinquent Assessments, the Association shall at all times comply with Civil Code sections 5650 through 5740, as those sections may be amended over time.

4.10 Unallocated Taxes: In the event that any taxes are assessed against the Common Area, or the personal property of the Association, rather than against the Condominiums, said taxes shall be included in the Assessments made under the provisions of Section 4.1 and, if necessary, a Special Assessment may be levied against the Condominiums in an amount equal to said taxes, to be paid in two (2) installments, thirty (30) days prior to the due date of each tax installment.

4.11 Exemptions from Assessments: Any Condominium which does not include a structural improvement for human occupancy as the result of one of the circumstances addressed in Article IX shall be exempt from the payment of that portion of any Assessment which is for the purpose of defraying expenses and reserves directly attributable to the existence and use of the structural improvement. The exemption may include:
(1) Roof replacement;
(2) Exterior maintenance;
(3) Walkway and carport lighting;
(4) Refuse disposal, if any;
(5) Domestic water supplied to living Units, if any;
(6) Insurance on completed Units;
(7) Insurance on uncompleted Units.

The foregoing exemption shall be in effect until the earliest of the following events:
(1) A notice of completion of the structural improvements has been recorded;
(2) Occupation or use of the Condominium; or
(3) Completion of all elements of the residential structure which the Association is obligated to maintain.

The Board may adopt a policy regarding payment of deductibles on any insurance coverage and such policy shall be set forth in the Rules. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Association shall pay deductibles required under any insurance claims from Association funds, except if damage is the result of the acts, omissions, negligence or misconduct of an Owner or such Owner’s Invitees, in which case the Owner shall be responsible to pay such deductible and the Association shall levy a Special Assessment against the Owner in such amount in accordance with Article IV.

B. Processing of Claims: The Board may adopt such policies and procedures regarding the filing and processing of claims for damage and destruction to the improvements in the Common Area or any other matters covered by the insurance maintained by the Association as the Board in its discretion shall deem advisable.

8.4 Authority of Board: Each of the Owners, and every other person named or

Page 73 of 254 ends

30 covered as an insured in connection with any of the policies purchased and maintained by the Association, hereby irrevocably delegates to the Board any authority which such Owner may otherwise have to negotiate loss settlements with the insurance carriers who provide such insurance. The Board shall have the sole and exclusive authority and right to negotiate any such loss claim form, release form and/or settlement agreement in connection with the settlement of a loss claim, which shall be binding on all of the Owners, and upon any other person named as an insured on any such policy or policies, but only upon the execution thereof by a majority of the Members of the Board. The Owners and every other person named or insured hereby appoints the Association, by and through the Board, as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any necessary claim form, release form or settlement agreements on their behalf.

8.5 Owner Insurance:

A. All Owners are strongly cautioned that the insurance maintained by the Association does not cover the personal property in the Units or personal liability for damages or injuries occurring in the Units. The insurance maintained by the Association may not cover the entire actual cost of repairing or reconstructing a Unit to the condition existing prior to a casualty, such as building upgrades previously made by an Owner or unique features of a Unit. In addition, without limitation, Owners may be liable for damages to the Common Area or other Units or Owners and the insurance policies maintained by the Association and/or such other Owners may grant to the applicable insurance carriers rights of subrogation against the Owner responsible for the damages (unless otherwise determined by the Board pursuant to Section 8.6).

B. Each Owner shall be required at its sole cost and expense to obtain and maintain real property and personal property insurance which insures the personal property, furniture, furnishings, and decorations within the Unit, any improvements in the Unit, or otherwise protects the Condominium. These are minimum requirements and each Owner is encouraged to discuss his or her appropriate insurance coverage with his or her insurance agent.

C. Each Owner shall also be required, at its sole cost and expense, to obtain and maintain insurance for premises liability which includes protection for bodily injury and property damage, in such types as reasonably determined by the Board based on generally acceptable industry standards or practices in California, as applicable from time to time. The minimum amount of such liability insurance shall be one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or such other amount as the Board may reasonably determine from time to time. Umbrella coverage applicable to a Unit may be counted toward the minimum coverage requirement.

D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Owner shall be entitled to exercise such Owner’s right to acquire or maintain such insurance coverage so as to decrease the amount which the Association, on behalf of all Owners, may realize under any insurance policy which it may have in force on the Common Area at any particular time or to cause any insurance coverage maintained by the Association to be brought into contribution with such insurance coverage obtained by the Owner.

E. Each Owner shall be required to file a copy of the policy or policies required

Page 74 of 254 ends

31 under this section with the Board at the time of the Owner’s purchase of a Unit and shall provide evidence to the Board (or to the manager or other designee of the Board) of the insurance coverage required by this section from time to time as may be requested by or on behalf of the Board.

Because the Owner, and not the Association, is responsible for maintaining insurance coverage for such Owner’s personal property and improvements to the Unit, all of which may not be covered by the Association’s policy on the Common Area, in the event of a casualty loss that results in damage to the Unit or the Owner’s personal property or improvements to the Unit, such Owner shall be required to file a claim against such Owner’s insurance policy. Should the Owner’s best good faith efforts fail to result in full coverage of such a claim, then the Board may elect to submit a claim to the Association’s insurance carrier for any remaining unreimbursed portion of the claim, should the Board determine, in the sole exercise of its discretion, that to do so would be in the best interest of the Association. Neither the Association nor the Board shall have any obligation to review any insurance policies, certificates or similar documents provided by any Owner. Any such review, if conducted, shall be solely for the benefit of the Association and neither the Association nor the Board shall have any liability with respect to the adequacy of coverage obtained by any Owner or any similar matter, including, but not limited to, whether or to what extent Owners comply with this section and whether or to what extent the Board and/or Association enforces the requirements of this section. The Board shall have the authority to adopt Rules in accordance with Section 5.2(C) to monitor and enforce compliance with provisions of this section.

F. In addition, it is recommended that each Owner periodically contact the Board to determine the types and amounts of insurance coverage then being provided pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof, and that each Owner purchase any other policy of insurance which such Owner believes is reasonably necessary to protect such Owner’s separate interest.

G. So long as Owners are in compliance with the insurance provisions of this section, then in the event of a loss covered by the Association’s insurance such Owners shall be entitled to proportionately share in any excess insurance proceeds after rebuilding of Common Area in accordance with each Unit’s proportionate allocation of Assessments as set forth in Section

4.6 to the extent such proceeds are allowed to be used for rebuilding of interior fixtures, cabinets and similar property. Owners not in compliance shall not be so entitled.

8.6 Additional Provisions Regarding Insurance Policies:

A. Subrogation: The Board shall determine from time to time whether and the extent to which the insurance maintained by the Association shall provide that the Association has rights of subrogation against Owners, occupants of the Condominiums and Mortgagees, or whether such rights of subrogation shall be waived. If required by the Board, all insurance maintained by an Owner shall contain a waiver of subrogation as to the Association and its officers, directors and Members, the other Owners, occupants of the Condominiums, and Mortgagees, and all Owners are deemed to have waived on behalf of their respective insurance carriers any such subrogation rights.

B. Optional Provisions: To the extent economically practical and available at reasonable premiums, as determined by the Board, any insurance maintained by the Association

Page 75 of 254 ends

32 shall:

1. Cross-Liability: Contain a cross-liability or severability of interest endorsement insuring each insured against liability to each other insured.

2. Decision to Repair: Provide that the insurer issuing such insurance policy agrees to abide by the decision of the Association whether or not to repair, reconstruct or restore all or any damaged or destroyed portion of the Common Area.

3. No Escape Clause: Contain “no escape” or “other insurance” clause that would cause such policy to become void in whole or in part or cause any proceeds payable thereunder to be reduced, setoff, apportioned, prorated or otherwise brought into contribution with or by reason of separate insurance obtained by any Owner or such Owner’s Mortgagee.

4. Valuation of Improvements: Provide that only improvements made or installed by the Association shall affect the valuation of the buildings or improvements on the property for co-insurance purposes.

5. Power to Adjust Losses: Provide that the Board or its authorized agent or representative shall have the exclusive authority to adjust any and all losses covered by said policy.

6. Vacancy: Provide that the insurance obtained pursuant to this article shall not be prejudiced by reason of the vacancy or non-occupancy of any one or more Units, provided that this Declaration (as it may be amended from time to time) is in force and the project is operating as a condominium project.

7. Association as Trustee: Provide that all insurance proceeds obtained pursuant to the Association’s master insurance policy be payable to the Association as trustee to be held and expended as provided in this Declaration for the benefit of the Owners and their respective Mortgagees as their interests may appear.

8.7 Limitation of Liability Regarding Insurance: The Association, and its directors and officers, shall have no liability to any Owner or Mortgagee if, after a good faith effort, it is unable to obtain the insurance required hereunder, because the insurance is no longer available or, if available, can be obtained only at a cost that the Board in its sole discretion determines is unreasonable under the circumstances, or if the Members fail to approve any increased Assessment needed to fund the insurance premiums. In such event, the Board shall immediately notify each Owner and any eligible first Mortgagee entitled to notice that the insurance will not be obtained or renewed. Furthermore, as to any insurance to be obtained or maintained by the Association hereunder, provided that such policies will not be voided or impaired thereby, the Owners hereby waive and release all claims against the Association, the Board, Association employees, and other Owners with respect to any loss covered by such insurance.

Page 76 of 254 ends

33 8.8 Notice of Change in Insurance Coverage: The Association shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide individual notice pursuant to Civil Code section 4040 to all Members if any of the policies described in the annual budget report described in Section 12.1 of the Association’s Bylaws have lapsed, been cancelled, and are not immediately renewed, restored or replaced, or if there is a significant change, such as a reduction in coverage or limits or an increase in the deductible, as to any of these policies. If the Association receives any notice of nonrenewal of a policy described in such annual budget report, the Association shall immediately notify its Members if replacement coverage will not be in effect by the date the existing coverage will lapse.

ARTICLE IX
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION; EMINENT DOMAIN

9.1 Initial Board Determination; Notice:

A. In the event of damage to any Common Area or to any portion of a Unit or its Restricted Common Area, equipment or appliances covered by the Association’s insurance policy, the Board shall promptly, and to the extent possible, within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, make the following determinations with respect thereto, employing such contractors, architects, and/or consultants as the Board deems advisable and necessary:

1. The nature and extent of the damage, together with an inventory of the improvements and property directly affected thereby.

2. A reasonably reliable estimate of the cost to repair the damage, which estimate shall, if reasonably practicable, be based upon two (2) or more firm bids obtained from responsible contractors.

3. The expected insurance proceeds, if any, to be available from insurance covering the loss based on the amount paid or initially offered by the insurer.

4. The amount, if any, by which the estimated cost of repair exceeds the expected insurance proceeds, and the amount of the Assessments that would have to be made against each Unit if the excess cost were to be paid as a Common Expense.

B. The Board shall promptly, and in all events within thirty (30) days after the date of damage, file a proof of loss claim with the insurance company if the loss is covered by insurance and abide by all terms and conditions of its insurance policies, unless the Board determines it would not be in the best interest of the Association to file a proof of loss claim. The Board shall then provide each Owner with written notice describing the damage and summarizing the initial Board determinations in relation to the damage. If the damage affects a material portion of the project, the Board shall also send the notice to each eligible first Mortgagee; and if the damage affects a Unit, the Board shall send the notice to the eligible first Mortgagee of that Unit.

If the Board fails to do so within such thirty (30) day period, any Owner or eligible first Mortgagee

Page 77 of 254 ends

34 may give the notice required under this section.

9.2 Reconstruction Without Election by Owners: In the event of damage to or destruction of any improvements, if the available proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to Article VIII are sufficient to cover not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the estimated cost of repair or reconstruction thereof, the same shall be promptly repaired and rebuilt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:

A. Such damage or destruction renders the entire project or some material portion thereof unfit for habitation; and
B. Within ninety (90) days after the date that the Board notifies the Members that it has determined the amount of insurance proceeds likely to be available for rebuilding will satisfy the requirements of the first sentence of this section 9.2, and not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Voting Power at a duly constituted and called annual or special meeting of the Members determine that such reconstruction shall not take place, then such reconstruction shall not occur and the provisions of Section 9.6 shall apply.

9.3 Repair or Reconstruction by Consent of Owners: If the proceeds of such insurance are less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the costs of repair or reconstruction, such repair or reconstruction may nevertheless take place if at least fifty percent (50%) of the Units requiring repair or reconstruction elect to rebuild; otherwise the provisions of Section 9.6 shall apply.

9.4 Assessments; Use of Reserves: In the event of a determination to rebuild pursuant to Section 9.2 the Board shall have the authority to levy a Special Assessment against the Owners in such amount as necessary to pay for the costs of rebuilding which exceed the insurance proceeds available. In the event of a determination to rebuild pursuant to Section 9.3, the Board shall have the authority to levy a Special Assessment against the damaged or destroyed Units (only) in such amount as necessary to pay for the cost of rebuilding which exceed insurance proceeds available, except that the amount of the Association’s reserves proportionally attributable to the square footage of the Units suffering damage or destruction shall first be expended for this cost. Either way such Special Assessment shall be computed on the basis of the calculation set forth in Section

4.6(A) for those Units subject to the Special Assessment, and shall be due and payable in full within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof unless otherwise determined by the Board. In the event of damage or destruction to a building which does not contain Units, then the Board shall have the authority to levy a Special Assessment against all of the Units in such amount as necessary to pay for the cost of rebuilding which exceeds insurance proceeds available. Such Special Assessment shall be computed on the basis of the calculation set forth in Section 4.6(A) referenced hereinabove and shall be due and payable in full within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof unless otherwise determined by the Board.

9.5 Obligation of Board When Rebuilding:

A. Obtaining Bids: The Board shall utilize such construction consultants,

Page 78 of 254 ends

35 architects and other professionals as it shall determine are reasonably necessary in connection with its obligations under this article. Unless the estimated cost of repair is less than $100,000.00, the Board shall make reasonable efforts to obtain bids from at least two (2) reputable contractors, and if a determination to rebuild is made in accordance with Sections 9.2 or 9.3, the Board shall award reconstruction work to the bidder the Board reasonably believes is best qualified to perform the work at a reasonable price; provided, however, that the Board shall not be required or authorized to award such contract until it has sufficient monies, whether from insurance proceeds or the collection of Special Assessments, with which to pay the cost of reconstruction as reflected by the bid to be accepted by the Board. Unless the estimated cost of repair is less than $100,000.00, all insurance proceeds, Special Assessments and other monies allocated for the repair or rebuilding, including any borrowings by the Association, shall be deposited with a financially sound, reputable commercial lending institution or escrow company experienced in the disbursement of construction funds. The Board, upon awarding said contract, shall thereafter be authorized to cause the disbursement of monies to the contractor in accordance with said contract from time to time as construction progresses, utilizing the available insurance proceeds and the Special Assessments levied and collected by the Board in accordance with this article, and in accordance with customary construction disbursement procedures, in coordination with applicable insurers and any first Mortgagees.

B. Time Period and Manner of Reconstruction: The Board shall take all steps necessary or appropriate to assure the commencement and completion of such reconstruction at the earliest practicable date. All reconstruction shall be in accordance with the Condominium Plan and the original plans of construction of the project (if available) subject to any different building codes and standards then in effect, unless an alternative plan is approved by a majority of the Voting Power and taking into consideration the availability and expense of labor and materials in the original construction of the improvements.

C. If the cost of repair or reconstruction is $100,000 or less, the Board shall disburse the available funds for the repair and reconstruction under such procedures as the Board deems appropriate under the circumstances.

9.6 Determination Not to Rebuild and to Sell Project: If the improvements are not repaired or rebuilt in accordance with the provisions of Sections 9.2 or 9.3, any insurance proceeds available for such rebuilding (after payment of the costs of mitigating hazardous conditions on the project, making provision for the continuance of public liability insurance to protect the interests of the Owners until the project can be sold, and complying with all other applicable legal or regulatory requirements) shall be divided and disbursed among the Owners in the same proportions as those relating to each Owner’s responsibility for Regular Assessments in accordance with Section 4.6. Disbursements to Owners shall be subject to the rights of Mortgagees. Any unpaid Assessments of an Owner, together with interest charges attributable thereto, shall be paid to the Association before the distribution of any insurance proceeds to an Owner. If the project is sold, the sale proceeds shall be distributed to all Owners (subject to the rights of Mortgagees) in the same proportions as those relating to each Owner’s responsibility for Regular Assessment in accordance with Section 4.6. For the purpose of effecting a sale under this section, each Owner hereby grants to the Association an irrevocable power of attorney to sell the entire project for the

Page 79 of 254 ends

36 benefit of the Owners, to terminate this Declaration and to dissolve the Association.

9.7 Interior Damage:

A. General Provisions: Restoration and repair of any damage occurring under the conditions addressed in this article to the betterments and improvements of any individual Unit shall be made by and at the individual expense of the Owner of such Unit (unless there are insurance proceeds to cover such item pursuant to Article VIII) and, in the event of a determination to rebuild after partial or total destruction, shall be completed as promptly as practical and in a lawful and workmanlike manner, and subject to the approval of the Board to the extent otherwise required under Section 7.11 or other provisions hereof.

B. Specific Provision - Earthquake Damage to Drywall: In the event of earthquake damage to the plaster and drywall in a Unit, the Owner shall be solely responsible for repair or replacement thereof, at the Owner’s discretion.

9.8 Negotiations with Insurer: The Board shall have full authority to negotiate in good faith with representatives of the Association’s insurer of the improvements or any other portion of the Common Area, and to make a settlement with the insurer for less than full insurance coverage on the damage to the improvements or any other portion of the Common Area. Any settlement made by the Board in good faith shall be binding upon all Owners.

9.9 Condemnation: The Association shall represent the Owners in any eminent domain or condemnation proceedings or in negotiations, settlements, and agreements with any condemning authority for the taking or acquisition (a “Taking”) of the Common Area or any part thereof. In the event of a Taking of any or all of the Common Area, the award or proceeds of settlement shall be payable to the Association, or any trustee appointed by the Association, for the use and benefit of the Owners and their Mortgagees as their interests may appear. In the event of an award for the taking of any Condominium, the Owner of such Condominium shall be entitled to receive the entire award, and after acceptance thereof such Owner and such Owner’s Mortgagee shall be divested of an interest in the project if such Owner shall vacate his or her Condominium as a result of such taking. The Voting Power of the remaining Owners shall decide whether to rebuild or repair the project, or take other action. The remaining portion of the project shall be resurveyed, if necessary, and this Declaration shall be amended to reflect such taking and to readjust proportionately the percentages of the undivided interests of the remaining Owners and the assessment calculation set forth in Section 4.6. In the event of a taking of any part of the Common Area, the Association shall participate in the negotiations, and shall propose the method of division of the proceeds of condemnation, where the Condominiums are not valued separately by the condemning authority or by the court. Proceeds of condemnation shall be distributed among Owners and their respective Mortgagees according to the relative values of the Condominiums affected by the taking, said values to be determined by the method provided in Section 9.6. If there is a substantial taking of the project, as determined by the Board, the Voting Power of the Owners may terminate the legal status of the project as a condominium project and, if necessary, bring a partition action under Civil Code section 4610, as that section may be amended over time.

The proceeds from the partition sale shall be distributed to the Owners (subject to the rights of

Page 80 of 254 ends

37 Mortgagees) in proportion to the values of their Condominiums as determined under the method described in Section 9.6.

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Failure by the Association or by any Owner to enforce any covenant or restriction herein contained shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter. The prevailing party in any proceeding by or against the Association or any Owner as described hereinabove shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

10.2 Invalidity of Any Provision: Should any provision or portion hereof be declared invalid or in conflict with any law of the jurisdiction where this project is situated, the validity of all other provisions and portions hereof shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.

10.3 Term: The covenants and restrictions of this Declaration shall run with and bind the property, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Association or the Owner of any property subject to this Declaration, their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, for a term of twenty (20) years from the date of recordation of this Declaration, after which time they shall be automatically extended for periods of twenty (20) years, unless an instrument in writing, signed by the number of the then Owners of the Condominiums required by the terms of this Declaration has been recorded within the year preceding the beginning of each successive period of twenty (20) years, agreeing to terminate the same.

10.4 Amendments: This Declaration may be amended only by the affirmative vote or written consent of Members representing a majority of the Voting Power of the Association.

Any amendment must be certified in a writing executed and acknowledged by the president or vice president of the Association and recorded in the office of the Mono County Recorder. All amendments affecting matters within the regulatory power of the Town of Mammoth Lakes must be approved by the attorney for the Town of Mammoth Lakes.

10.5 Encroachment Rights: If any portion of the Common Area encroaches on any Unit or any part thereof, or if any portion of a Unit encroaches on any Common Area, due to minor engineering errors, minor errors in original construction, reconstruction, repair, settling, shifting, or movement of the building, or any other cause, the Owner of the encroachment shall have the

Page 81 of 254 ends

38 right to maintain, repair, or replace the encroachment, as long as it exists, and the rights and obligations of Owners shall not be altered in any way by said encroachment, settlement, or shifting; provided, however, that no right shall be created in favor of an Owner or Owners if said encroachment occurred due to the intentional conduct of said Owner or Owners. In the event a structure is partially or totally destroyed, and is then repaired or rebuilt, the Owners agree that minor encroachments over adjoining Units or Common Area shall be permitted and that there shall be appropriate rights for the maintenance of said encroachment so long as they shall exist.

10.6 Rights of Lenders: No breach of any of the covenants, conditions and restrictions herein contained, nor the enforcement of any lien provisions herein, shall render invalid the lien of any first Mortgage (meaning a Mortgage with first priority over any other Mortgage) on any Condominium made in good faith and for value, but all of said covenants, conditions and restrictions shall be binding on and effective against any Owner whose title is derived through foreclosure or trustee's sale, or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision in any documents to the contrary, First Lenders shall have the following rights:

A. Copies of Project Documents: The Association shall make available to Condominium Owners and First Lenders, and to holders, insurers or guarantors of any first Mortgage, current copies of the Declaration, Bylaws, Articles or other Rules concerning the project, and the books, records, and financial statements of the Association. "Available" means available for inspection and copying, upon at least ten days' prior written request, during normal business hours or under other reasonable circumstances. The party requesting such records shall pay to the Association, in advance, the actual out of pocket expenses estimated to be incurred by the Association for the production of those records, including, but not limited to, the cost of staff time (whether the staff time be incurred by employees of the Association or by independent agents of the Association, for example, the accountant or attorney of the Association). Within a reasonable amount of time after the production is complete, a reconciliation of the actual cost compared to the amount of the advance deposit shall be made, and the party requesting the records shall either be refunded the difference, or shall pay the difference to the Association, as the case may be. In addition, parties requesting copies of such records shall pay to the Association in advance an amount equal to the actual cost of the copies to the Association.

B. Audited Statement: The holders of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of first Condominium Mortgages shall be entitled, on written request, to have an audited financial statement for the immediately preceding fiscal year prepared at their expense if one is not otherwise available. Such statement shall be furnished to the requesting Mortgagees within a reasonable time following such request.

C. Notice of Action: On written request to the Association, identifying the name and address of the Eligible Mortgage Holder or Eligible Insurer or Guarantor, and the Condominium number or address, such Eligible Mortgage Holder or Eligible Insurer or Guarantor will be entitled to timely written notice of: (1) Any condemnation loss or any casualty loss which affects a material portion of the project or any Condominium on which there is a first Mortgage held, insured or guaranteed by such Eligible Mortgage Holder or Eligible Insurer or Guarantor, as applicable; (2) any default in performance of obligations under the project documents or

Page 82 of 254 ends

39 delinquency in the payment of Assessments or charges owed by an Owner of a Condominium subject to a first Mortgage held, insured, or guaranteed by such Eligible Mortgage Holder or Eligible Insurer or Guarantor, which remains uncured for a period of sixty (60) days; (3) any lapse, cancellation, or material modification of any insurance policy or fidelity bond maintained by the Association; and (4) any proposed action which would require the consent of a specified percentage of Eligible Mortgage Holders as specified in Section 10.6(D). The Association shall discharge its obligation to notify eligible holders or Eligible Insurers or Guarantors by sending written notices required herein to such parties, at the address given on the current request for notice, in the manner prescribed by Section 10.8.

D. Consent to Action:

1. Except as provided by statute or by other provision of the project documents in case of substantial destruction or condemnation of the project:
a. The approval of Eligible Mortgage Holders holding
Mortgages on Condominiums which have at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes of Condominiums subject to Eligible Holder Mortgages shall be required to terminate the legal status of the project as a condominium project.
b. The approval of Eligible Mortgage Holders holding
Mortgages on Condominiums which have at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the vote of the Condominiums subject to Eligible Holder Mortgages shall be required to add or amend any material provisions of the project documents which establish, provide for, govern, or regulate any of the following: (i) voting; (ii) Assessments, assessment liens or the priority of such liens; (iii) reserves for maintenance, repair and replacement of the Common Area(s) (or Units if applicable); (iv) insurance or fidelity bonds; (v) rights to use of Common Areas; (vi) responsibility for maintenance and repair of the several portions of the project; (vii) expansion or contraction of the project or the addition, annexation, or withdrawal of property to or from the project (except as provided in paragraph D.1 above); (viii) redefinition of boundaries of any Condominium; (ix) reallocation of the interests in the general or restricted Common Areas; (x) convertibility of Units into Common Areas or of Common Areas into Units; (xi) leasing of Condominiums; (xii) imposition of any right of first refusal or similar restriction on the right of a Condominium Owner to sell, transfer, or otherwise convey his or her Condominium; (xiii) any provisions which are for the express benefit of Mortgage holders, Eligible Mortgage Holders, or Eligible Insurers or Guarantors of first Mortgages on Condominiums; and (xiv) restoration or repair of the project (after a hazard damage or partial condemnation) in a manner other than specified herein. c. An addition or amendment to such document shall not be considered material if it is for the purpose of correcting technical errors, or for clarification only.

An Eligible Mortgage Holder who received a written request to approve additions or amendments who does not deliver or post to the requesting party a negative response within thirty (30) days shall be deemed to have approved such request, provided the notice was delivered by certified or registered mail, with a return receipt requested.

Page 83 of 254 ends

40 2. Except as provided by statute in case of condemnation or substantial loss to the Condominiums and/or common elements of the condominium project, unless Eligible Mortgage Holders holding Mortgages on Condominiums which have at least two-thirds (2/3) of the vote of the Condominiums subject to Eligible Holder Mortgages have given their prior written approval, the Association and/or the Owners shall not be entitled to:
a. By act or omission, seek to abandon or terminate the condominium project (except for abandonment or termination provided by law in the case of substantial destruction by fire or other casualty or in the case of a taking by condemnation or eminent domain);
b. Change the pro rata interest or obligations of any individual Condominium for the purpose of: (i) levying Assessments or charging or allocating distributions of hazard insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, or (ii) determining the pro rata share of ownership of each Condominium in the (Condominium) Common Area; c. Partition or subdivide any Condominium;
d. By act or omission, seek to abandon, partition, subdivide, encumber, sell or transfer the Common Area. (The granting of easements for public utilities or for other public purposes consistent with the intended use of the Common Area by the Condominium project shall not be deemed a transfer within the meaning of this clause); e. Use hazard insurance proceeds for losses to any
Condominium property (whether to Condominiums or to Common Area) for other than the repair, replacement or reconstruction of such Condominium property.

E. Priority of Liens: Each holder of a first Mortgage on a Condominium who comes into possession of the Condominium by virtue of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under a first deed of trust, will take the Condominium free of any claims for unpaid Assessments and fees, late charges, fines, or interest levied in connection therewith against the Condominium which accrue prior to the time such holder takes title to the Condominium, except for claims for a pro rata share of such Assessments or charges to all project Condominiums including the mortgaged Condominium, and except for assessment liens recorded prior to the Mortgage.

F. Distribution of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds: No provision of the project documents gives an Owner, or any other party, priority over any rights of first Mortgagees in the case of a distribution to Condominium Owners of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards for losses to or taking of Condominiums and/or Common Area.

G. Restoration or Repair: Any restoration or repair of the project, after a partial condemnation or damage due to an insurable hazard, shall be performed substantially in accordance with the Declaration and the original plans and specifications, unless other action is

Page 84 of 254 ends

41 approved by Eligible Mortgage Holders holding Mortgages on Condominiums which have at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the votes of Condominiums subject to Eligible Holder Mortgages.

H. Termination: Any action to terminate the legal status of the project after substantial destruction or a substantial taking in condemnation of the project property requires the approval of Eligible Mortgage Holders holding Mortgages on Condominiums which have at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the votes of Condominiums subject to Eligible Holder Mortgages.

I. Reallocation of Interests: No reallocation of interests in the Common Areas resulting from a partial condemnation or partial destruction of the project may be effected without the prior approval of Eligible Mortgage Holders holding Mortgages on all remaining Condominiums whether existing in whole or in part, and which have at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the votes of such remaining Condominiums subject to Eligible Holder Mortgages.

10.7 Enforcement of Owners' Compliance: Each Owner, tenant, or occupant of a Condominium shall comply with the provisions of this Declaration, and (to the extent they are not in conflict with this Declaration), the Articles and Bylaws, and the decisions, resolutions and Rules of the Association or the Board, as lawfully amended from time to time.

If there are two or more Owners of any Unit, the Owners shall share liability for the assessments imposed on a joint and several basis.

incurred in carrying out its duties and obligations (called "Operating Expenses") and for fulfilling the responsibility of the Association with regard to maintenance, repairs and replacement of the major components that the Association is obligated to maintain, repair and replace (called " Reserves".)
No Owner shall be relieved of an Assessment or any part thereof by reason of his/her failure to use the Common Area.

Upon the sale or transfer of any Condominium by any Owner, the Owner's interest in the funds held by the Association shall terminate and shall be deemed automatically transferred to the successor-transferee of such Owner.

Section 4.3. Limits on Annual/Regular Assessments and Special Assessments.

Under California law, and as reasonably required by need, the Board may for any fiscal year increase the annual Regular Assessments up to twenty percent (20%) without a vote of the membership and/or impose Special Assessments which in the aggregate do not exceed five percent (5%) of the budgeted gross expenses for that fiscal year. For any increase or Assessment that exceeds these limitations, except an Emergency Assessment defined below, the Board must obtain the approval of a majority of a quorum of the Members. A "quorum" for this purpose (defined by Civil Code Section 1366) is more than half of the Members.

Section 4.4. Emergency Assessments. In the event the Board is required to make any expenditure, the necessity for which was not foreseen at the commencement of the fiscal year, or if the Board's original estimate of the annual assessment is inadequate and there are not sufficient funds available in the Operating Account, the Board may levy any additional assessment to cover the costs. The requirements of Notice to Owners, Open Board Meeting and findings found in Civil Code Section 1366 must be satisfied.

Section 4.5. Reconstruction/Capital Improvement Assessments. These are Special Assessments and subject to the same limitations as stated in Section 4.3 above, and as otherwise described and limited in this Restated Declaration and by California law.

Section 4.6. Reimbursement Assessment. The Board may impose a Reimbursement Assessment against any Unit and the Owner thereof for any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Association, needed to perform or enforce any responsibility or duty of such Owner under this Restated Declaration that the Owner fails to perform, in violation of the Governing Documents. Owner shall first be given notice of the obligation and a reasonable time in which to cure the deficiency or violation.

Any Reimbursement Assessment shall be payable within thirty (30) days after notice to the Owner or at a later date as may be specified by the Board.

Section 4.7. Enforcement Assessment ("Fine"). The Board may levy an Enforcement Assessment upon an Owner and his/her residence Unit by the Association for failure to comply with the Governing Documents, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing before the Board under Article XI of the Bylaws is offered to the Owner. The Board may establish reasonable Rules regarding repeated Assessments for continual or recurring violations and shall adopt and circulate a policy to the Owners setting forth fines to be charged.

These Assessments are not subject to collection through non-judicial foreclosure processes. All other remedies are available

Section 4.8. Imposition of Assessments at Times Other Than With Budget Distribution. In the event the Board is required to make any expenditure during the year, the necessity for which was not foreseen at the commencement of the fiscal year, or if the Board's original estimate of the annual Assessment is inadequate and there are not sufficient funds available in the operating fund, the Board may levy an increase in Regular Assessments or impose a Special Assessment in amounts allowed by law (subject to the aggregate limits of the Civil Code Section 1366), with appropriate notice as required by law (not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days before the due date of the Assessment).

Section 4.9. Notice and Rate of Assessment. Annual, Regular, and Special Assessments that are levied by the Board shall be allocated among each Condominium in pro rata shares as follows:

Each Owner of a Plan A Unit .015 - one bedroom units
Each Owner of Plan B, D & F Units .016 - one bedroom w/ loft and two bedroom units
Each Owner of Plan C, E & G Units .01825 - two bedrooms w/ loft units The proportionate shares of the separate Owners of the respective Units for all Reconstruction Assessments shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of floor area in the Unit Owner's Unit, including second floor area computed from the dimensions of the floor area of the Unit as the same is shown on the Condominium Plan and the denominator of which shall be the number of square feet of floor area in the Units in the Project.

However there may be situations for Special Assessments which if approved by the Unit Owners would result in a Special Assessment being imposed that is equal for all owners.

An example is the replacement of exterior front doors or any other expense where the identifiable cost would be equal for each Unit.

Assessments may be collected on a monthly basis.

Reimbursement and Enforcements Assessments shall be levied upon the Unit Owner/Condominium on an individual basis, and shall be due and payable as specified by the Board.

Section 4.10. Association Bank Accounts. All Assessments collected by the Board shall be deposited in FDIC-insured accounts selected by the Board of Directors of the Association, which accounts shall be clearly designated as MAMMOTH CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION accounts. The Board shall have the control of said accounts and shall be responsible to the Owners for maintenance of accurate records thereof all the time. Funds may be withdrawn from any reserves account only upon written signature of two appropriately authorized members of the Board. The Board shall adopt a policy with regard to signatures for release of operations expenditures. 10 RESTATED DECLARATION

In the event of a default payment of any Assessment and in addition to any other remedies herein or by law provided, the Association may enforce each such obligation as follows:
(a) By suit or suits at law to enforce each such Assessment obligation. Any request for judgment in any such action shall include a sum expended for attorney's fees and related collection costs. The Association shall have the special rights specified and afforded by Code of Civil Procedure Section 116.540 to proceed in Small Claims Court to collect delinquent assessments if the junsdictional limits do not preclude it.

(c) By lien and judicial foreclosure, under the jurisdiction of the Superior Court.

If there is a sale, a certificate of sale shall be executed and acknowledged by an authorized officer of the Association or by the person conducting the sale. A deed upon foreclosure shall be executed in like manner. For a period of 90 days after the sale, the I!
