E. Proceeds of insurance policies received by the Association shall be distributed to or for the benefit of the beneficial Condominium Unit owners in the following manner: (1) If the damage for which the proceeds were paid is to be repaired or reconstructed, the proceeds shall be paid to defray the costs.

RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR OF CASUALTY DAMAGE; DAMAGE TO COMMON PROPERTY; DAMAGE TO CONDOMINIUM UNITS. A. If any part of the Common Property shall be damaged by casualty, the determination of whether or not to recon- struct or repair it shall be made as follows: (1) Partial destruction shall be destruction of two - thirds (2/3) or less of the building. In the event of partial destruction, the Common Property shall be reconstructed or repaired unless this Declaration is terminated by the unanimous vote of all of the Condominium Unit Owners at a meeting of the members of the Association called and held prior to commencement of such reconstruc- tion or repair. (2) Total destruction shall be destruction of more than two - thirds (2/3) of the building. In the event of total destruction, the Common Property shall not be reconstructed or repaired if, at a meeting which shall be called within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty, or if by such date the insurance loss has not been finally adjusted, then within thirty (30) days after such adjustment, Condominium Unit owners who own three - fourths (3/4) or more of the building vote against reconstruction or repair. (3) Any such reconstruction or repair shall be substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications contained herein. B. If the damage is only to those parts of one or more Condominium Units for which the responsibility for mainten- ance and repair is that of the Unit owner, then the Condomin- ium Unit Owner shall be responsible for reconstruction and repair after casualty. In all other instances, the responsi- bility of reconstruction and repair after casualty shall be that of the Association as follows: 14 (1) Immediately after the casualty causing damage to property for which the Association has the responsibility for maintenance and repair, the Association shall obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the cost to place the damaged property in condition as good as that before the casualty. Such costs may include professional fees and premiums for such bonds as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. (2) When the damage is to both Common Pro- perty and Condominium Units, the insurance proceeds shall be applied first to the costs of repairing the common Property and the balance to the Condo - minium Units. C.' In the event of damage to or destruction of the Boat Slips as a result of fire or other casualty to the extent of less than two - thirds in value of the Boat Slips, the Board of Directors of the Association shall arrange for the prompt repair and restoration of the Boat Slips, and the Board of Directors shall disburse the proceeds of all insurance policies to the contrac- tors engaged in such repair and restoration in appropri ate progress payments. Any payment for repair and restoration in excess of the insurance proceeds shall constitute a Boat Slip Expense. Any reconstruction or repair shall be in accordance with the original plans for the Boat Slips or as the Board of Directors of the Association shall otherwise approve. The determination of whether the damage or destruction "exceeds two - thirds" the value of the Boat Slips for purposes herein stated shall be determined by an ap- praisal of the value of such Boat Slips as of the day immediately preceding the damage obtained by the Board of Directors of the Association from a licensed app er when rtsond restoration as determined by the Hoard of Directors. D. Each Condominium Unit Owner delegates to the Board of Directors of the Association his right to adjust with insurance companies all losses rwherecthe damage is the Association, except in any case restricted to one Condominium Unit. 23. ASSOCIATION TO MAINTAIN REGISTER OF OWNERS AND MORTGAGEES. The Associat on Eli al maintain a Register setting forth the names of the Owners of all of the Condo- minium Units.

The Owner of each Condominium Unit shall also notify the Association of the parties holding any mortgage on any Condominium Unit, the amount of such mortgage and the re- cording information necessary to identify the mortgage. The holder of any mortgage upon any Condominium Unit may notify the Association of the existence of any mortgage and the Association shall register in its records all pertinent information relating thereto. 24. ASSESSMENTS: LIABILITY, LIEN AND ENFORCEMENT. The Association is given the authority to administer the opera- tion and management of the Condominium as being in the best interest of the Owners of all Condominium Units. To properly administer the operation and management of the Condominium, the Association will incur for the mutual benefit of all of the Owners of Condominium Units, costs and expenses (herein "common expense "). To provide the funds necessary for such proper operation, management and capital improvement, the Association has been granted the right to make, levy and collect assessments against the Unit Owners and their Condo- minium Units. In furtherance thereof, the following provi- sions shall be operative and binding upon the Owners of all Condominium Units: A. All assessments levied against the Unit Owners and their Condominium Units shall be uniform and, unless specifi- cally otherwise provided for herein, all assessments made by the Association shall be in such an amount that any assess- ment levied against a Unit Owner and his Condominium Unit shall bear the same ratio to the total assessment made against all Unit Owners and their Condominium Units as the undivided interest in Common Property appurtenant to each Condominium Unit bears to the total undivided interest in Common Property appurtenant to all Condominium Units. Should the Association be the owner of a Condominium Unit or Units, the assessment which would otherwise be due and payable to the Association by the Owner of such Unit or Units, reduced by the amount of income which may be derived from the leasing of such Unit or Units by the Association, shall be appor- tioned and assessment therefor levied ratably among the Owners of all Units which are not owned by the Association, based upon their proportionate interests in Common Property exclusive of the interests therein appurtenant to any Unit or Units owned by the Association. B. Assessments provided for herein shall be payable in monthly installments, or in such other manner as the Board of Directors of the Association shall determine and shall commence when determined by the Board of Directors. C. The Board of Directors of the Association shall establish an Annual Budget in advance for each fiscal year (which shall correspond to the calendar year, except that in the initial year of operation of the Condominium, the fiscal 16 �. ,�� Bcad41 ;,-i el year shall commence with the closing of the sale of the first Condominium Unit). Such budget shall project all expenses for the forthcoming year which may be required for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the Condominium, including a reasonable allowance for contingencies and reserves, such budget to take into account anticipated income which is to be applied in reduction of the amounts required to be collected as an assessment each year. The Board of Directors shall keep separate, in accordance with paragraph "D" hereof, items relating to operation and maintenance from items relating to capital improvements. Upon adoption of such Annual Budget by the Board of Directors of the Associa- tion, copies shall be delivered to each Owner of a Condomin- ium Unit and the assessment for said year shall be esta- blished based upon such budget, although the non - delivery of a copy of it to each Owner shall not affect the liability of any owner for such assessment. Should the Board of Directors at any time determine that the assessments levied are insuf- ficient to pay the costs of operation and management of the Condominium, or in the event of emergencies, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to levy such additional assessments as it may deem necessary. D. The Board of Directors of the Association, in establishing the Annual Budget for operation, management and maintenance of the Condominium, shall designate a sum to be collected and maintained as a reserve fund for replacement of and capital improvements to the Common Property (herein "Capital Improvement Fund ") for the purpose of enabling the Association to replace structural elements and mechanical equipment constituting a part of the Common Property, and the replacement of personal property constituting a portion of the Common Property held for the joint use and benefit of the Owners of Condominium Units. The amount to be allocated to the Capital Improvement Fund may be established by the Board of Directors who shall collect and maintain a sum reasonably necessary to anticipate the need for replacement of Common Property. The amount collected for the Capital Improvement Fund shall be maintained in a separate account by the Associ- ation and shall be used only to make capital improvements to Common Property. Any interest earned on the Capital Improve- ment Fund may be expended for current operation and mainten- ance. E. All funds collected by the Association shall be treated as the separate property of the Association, and such funds may be applied by the Association to the payment of any expense of operating and managing the Condominium, or to the proper undertaking of all acts and duties imposed upon it by this Declaration, the Articles of incorporation and the By -laws of the Association. Although all funds and common surplus, including other assets of the Association, and any increments thereto or profits derived therefrom or from the leasing or use of Common Property, shall be held for the 17 t .��r rr�r ��s W ii �■ i i �r.■ri i iii ■■�■ .. � ��■ ■ --r3 -F _t.> U� e� #�i� :,,vp,•AyY�; Y.: �r •��"�sr --' .•.�• _ t �v:Yu -v '• - Tit - .s. ^ cra+is . __: }v..� benefit of the members of the Association, no member of the Association shall have the right to assign, hypothecate, pledge or in any manner transfer his membership interest therein, except as an appurtenance to his Condominium Unit. When the Owner of a Condominium Unit shall cease to be a member of the Association, the Association shall not be required to account to such Owner for any share of the fund or assets of the Association, or which may have been paid to the Association by such owner, as all funds which any Owner has paid to the Association shall constitute an asset of the Association which may be used in the operation and management of the Condominium. F. The payment of any assessment or installment thereof shall be in default if such assessment or installment is not paid to the Association within thirty (30) days of its due date. When in default, the delinquent assessment or delinquent installment thereof due to Association shall bear interest at twelve percent (12 %) until paid in full to the Association. G. The Owner or owners of each Condominium Unit shall be personally liable, jointly and severally, to the Associa- tion for the payment of all assessments, regular or special, which may be levied by the Association against such Condomin- ium Unit while such party or parties arc Owner or Owners of a Condominium Unit. In the event that any Unit Owner or Owners are in default in payment of any assessment or installment owed to the Association, such Unit owner or Owners shall be Personally liable, jointly and severally, for interest on such delinquent assessment or installment thereof as above Provided, and for all costs of collecting such assessment or installment and interest thereon, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether suit be brought or not. H. No Owner of a Condominium Unit may exempt himself from liability for any assessment levied against him or his Condominium Unit by waiver of the use of enjoyment of any of the Common Property, or by abandonment of the Condominium Unit or in any other way. I. Recognizing that proper operation and management of the condominium requires the continuing payment of costs and expenses therefor, and that such proper operation and main- tenance results in benefit to all of the Owners of Condomin- ium Units, and that the payment of such common expenses represented by the assessments levied and collected by Association is necessary in order to preserve and protect the investment of each Unit Owner, the Association is hereby granted a lien upon each Condominium Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in Common Property, which lien shall secure the funds due for all assessments now or hereafter levied against the owner of each such Condominium Unit, which lien shall also secure all costs and expenses, including a 18 n544is 23 reasonable attorney's fee, which may be incurred by the Association in enforcing this lien upon said Condominium Unit. The lien granted to the Association may be foreclosed in the same manner that real estate deeds of trust and mortgages may be foreclosed in the State of North Carolina, and in any suit for the foreclosure of said lien, the Associ- ation shall be entitled to reasonable rental from the Owner of any Condominium Unit from the date on which the payment of any assessment or installment thereof became delinquent, and shall be entitled to the appointment of a Receiver for said Condominium Unit. The lien granted to the Association shall further secure such advances for taxes, and payments on account of superior mortgages, liens or encumbrances which may be required to be advanced by the Association in order to preserve and protect its lien, including interest at twelve (12 %) percent on any such advances so made. All persons, who shall acquire any interest in the ownership of any Condomin- ium Unit, or who may be given or acquire a mortgage, lien or other encumbrance thereon, are hereby placed on notice of the lien rights granted to the Association, and shall acquire such interest in any Condominium Unit expressly subject to such lien rights. J. The lien herein granted to the Association shall be enforceable from the time of recordinq a claim of lien in the Public Records of Catawba County, North Carolina, which claim shall state the description of the Condominium Unit encum- bered thereby, the name of the record owner, the amount due and the date when due. The claim of lien shall be recordable any time after default and the lien shall continue in effect until all sums secured by said lien shall have been fully paid. Such claims of lien shall include only assessments which are due and payable when the claim of lien is recorded, plus interest, costs, attorney's fees, advances to pay taxes and prior encumbrances and interest thereon. it shall be signed and verified by an officer or agent of the Asso- ciation. Upon full payment of all sums secured by such claim of lien, it shall be satisfied of record. The lien provided for herein shall be subordinated to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust. Any person, firm or corporation acquiring title to any Condominium Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in Common Property by any foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or judicial sale, shall be liable and obligated only for assessments as shall accrue and become due and payable for said Condominium Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in common Property subsequent to the date of acquisition of such title, and it shall not be liable for the payment of any assessments which were in default and delinquent at the time it acquired such title. In the event of the acquisition of title to a Condo- minium Unit by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or judicial sale, any assessment for which the party so ac- quiring title shall not be liable shall be absorbed and paid 19 acodM ; by all Owners of all Condominium Units as a part of the common expense, although nothing herein contained shall release the party liable for such delinquent assessment from the payment thereof or the enforcement of collection of such payment by means other than foreclosure. K. Whenever any Condominium Unit may be leased, sold or mortgaged by the Owner thereof, the Association, upon written request, shall furnish to the proposed lessee, pur- chaser or mortgagee, a statement verifying the status of payment of any assessment which shall be due and payable to the Association by such Unit. Such statement shall be executed by any officer of the Association, and any lessee, purchaser or mortgagee may rely upon such statement in concluding the proposed lease, purchase or mortgage trans- action, and the Association shall be bound by such statement. In the event that a Condominium Unit is to be leased, sold or mortgaged at the time when payment of any assessment against the Owner of said Condominium Unit and such Condomin- ium Unit due to the Association shall be in default (whether or not a claim of lien has been recorded by the Association), then the rent, proceeds of such purchase or mortgage pro- ceeds, shall bp applied by the lessee, purchaser or mortgagee first to the payment of any then delinquent assessment or installments thereof due to the Association before the payment of any rent, proceeds of purchase or mortgage pro- ceeds to the Owner of any Condominium Unit who is responsible for payment of such delinquent assessment. In any voluntary conveyance of a Condominium Unit, the purchaser thereof shall be jointly and severally liable with seller for all unpaid assessments against seller made prior to the time of such voluntary conveyance, without prejudice to the rights of the purchaser to recover from seller the amounts paid by purchaser therefor. Institution of a lawsuit to attempt to collect the payment of any delinquent assessment shall not be an election by the Association which shall prevent it from thereafter seeking, by foreclosure action, enforcement of the collection of any sums remaining owing to it, nor shall proceeding by foreclosure to attempt such collection be deemed to be an election precluding the institution of a suit at law to collect any sum then remaining owing to Association. 25. BOAT SLIP ASSESSMENTS: LIABILITY LIED AND ENFORCE- MENT. Eac S i Owner shall contribute, in accordance with tTie formula set forth below, toward the expenses of admini- stration, care of, maintenance and repair of the Boat Slips (i.e., the "Boat Slip Expenses "). Each Slip Owner's share of such expenses shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Slips which the Slip Owner is licensed to use, and the denominator of which is the total number of 20 ccOr:HIS Boat Slips. Due date for payment of such Boat Slip Expenses shall be established by the Board of Directors of the Association and such Boat Slip Expenses shall be collected at least monthly. In order to enforce the collection of the Boat Slip Expenses, the Association shall have lien rights as more fully described below; provided, however, that such lien for unpaid Boat Slip Expenses becoming payable on or after the date of recordation of any mortgage which is a lien on any Unit and all fees, late charges, fines and interest levied by the Association in connection with any such unpaid assessment for Boat Slip Expenses, shall be and is hereby subordinated to the lien of such mortgage. Assessments for Boat Slip Expenses shall commence upon the conveyance of the first Slip. Non - Member Licensees shall be assessed and liable for and shall pay Boat Slip Assessments in the same manner as is hereinabove provided for Slip Owners. No liens shall attach to the interest in a Slip of any Non - Member Licensee for failure to pay the proportionate share of the Boat Slip Expenses assessed against such Non - Member Licensee, but the Association shall have the power, in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Association, to revoke the license of a Non- Member Licensee for failure to pay its proportionate share of Boat slip Expenses. A. The Board of Directors of the Association shall from time to time and at least annually prepare a budget for the Boat Slips, determine the amount of common charges payable by the Slip Owners and Non - Member Licensees to meet the Boat slip Expenses, and allocate and assess such Boat Slip Ex- penses among the Slip Owners and Non - Member Licensees accord- ing to the formula set forth above. Boat Slip Expenses shall include, among other things, the cost of all insurance premiums on all policies of insurance obtained by the Board of Directors of the Association on the Boat Slips. The Boat Slip Expenses shall also include such amounts as the Board of Directors of the Association shall deem proper for the operation and maintenance of the Boat Slips, including without limitation, a reserve fund for periodic aintethece, repair and replacement, and to make up y deficit in Boat Slip Expenses for any prior year. The Board of Direc- tors of the Association shall advise all Slip Owners and Non - Member Licensees promptly and in writing the amount of the Boat Slip Expenses payable by each of them, respectively, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association, as aforesaid, and shall furnish copies of each budget on which such Boat Slip Expenses are based, to all Slip owners and Non- Member Licensees.

The obligation of a Slip owner or Non - Member Licensee to pay the Boat Slip Expenses assessed during his ownership of such Slip is a personal obligation and shall not pass to any purchaser of the license to use such Slip unless expressly assumed by such purchaser. D. The Board of Directors of the Association shall assess Boat Slip Expenses against the Slip owners and Non - Member Licensees from time to time and at least monthly and shall take prompt action to collect any Boat Slip Expenses which remain unpaid for more than 30 days after the due date for payment thereof. The Board of Directors of the Associa- tion shall notify the holder of any first lien security interest in any Boat Slip license (of which it has notice) for which any Boat Slip Expenses assessed pursuant to this Declaration remain unpaid for more than 30 days from the due date for payment thereof and in any other case where the Slip owner or Non - Member Licensee of such Boat Slip is in default with respect to the performance of any other obligation hereunder for a period in excess of 30 E.

The Board of Directors of the Association shall be permitted to revoke the license of a Non - Member Licensee for non - payment of Boat Slip Expenses as herein permitted and in accordance with procedures therefor set forth in the License agreement whereby a Non - Member Licensee acquires the right to use a Boat Slip. The Board of Directors of the Association shall also have the right to impose on Non - Member Licensees uniform late payment charges for delinquent Boat Slip Expense payments, which charges shall also be recoverable by the pro- ceedings specified above, and the Board of Directors shall have the further right to commence or to continue any pro- ceedings permitted hereby against a Non - Member Licensee for non- payment of Boat Slip Expenses notwithstanding the revocation of the license relating thereto. After revocation of the license of a Non - Member Licensee, the Board of Direc- tors of the Association shall have the right to resell such license on such terms and conditions as it shall in good faith deem proper and to deduct from the proceeds or revenue of such sale all the reasonable costs, fees and expenses of whatever nature incurred by the Association in the revocation of such license and in the repair or refurbishing, if any, of the Slip for which such license has been revoked, together with all theretofore uncollected Boat Slip Expenses relating thereto. The remain- der of such revenue or proceeds, if any, shall be paid to the former Non - Member Licensee by the Board of Directors of the Association as and when received. G. All Boat slip Expenses, together with the interest and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as provided for herein, shall be a charge on and a continuing lien upon the Unit of the Unit owner against whom the assess- ment for Boat Slip Expenses is made, which such lien shall be prior to all other liens excepting only (a) tax liens on the Unit in favor of any assessing authority, (b) all sums unpaid on mortgages of record against the Unit prior to the docket- ing of such lien and (c) materialmen's and mechanics' liens. such lien shall become effective when a notice thereof has been filed in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court for Catawba County, North Carolina, provided such notice of lien shall not be recorded until such sums assessed remain unpaid for a period of not more than 30 days after the same shall become due. Such notice of lien shall also secure all assessments against the Slip owner becoming due until the lien has been satisfied. in addition, each Slip owner shall be personally liable for any such assessment. No Slip Owner may exempt himself from such liability by the abandonment or transfer of his Slip. 23 aGOx14IS ., : 28 H. In any action brought by thn Board to foreclose on a Unit because of unpaid Boat Slip Expenses, the Unit owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for the use of his Slip, and the plaintiff in such foreclosure action shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect the same.

In the event a mortgagee or other purchaser (other than the Association) purchases and takes title to a Unit as a result of a foreclosure, or proceedings held in lieu of foreclosure by the Mortgagee, with respect to the first mortgage on such Unit, such purchaser, his successors and assigns, shall not be liable for the share of the assessment for Boat Slip Expenses which became due prior to the acquisi- tion of title to such Unit by such purchaser. however, such unpaid share of Boat Slip Expenses shall be deemed as general Boat Slip Expenses collectible pro rata from all of the Slip Owners including such purchaser, his successors and assigns. J. In the event of revocation of the license of a Non - Member Licensee, no subsequent licensee of the Boat Slip subject to such revoked license shall be liable for the share of the assessment for Boat Slip Expenses which became due prior to revocation of such .license. However, such unpaid share of Boat Slip Expenses shall be deemed as general Boat Slip Expenses collectible pro rata from all of the remaining Slip Owners and Non - Member Licensees including such subse- quent licensee, his successors and assigns. K. The Hoard of Directors of the Association shall promptly provide any Slip owner or Non - Member Licensee so requesting the same in writing, with a written statement of all unpaid Boat Slip Expenses due from such Slip Owner or Non - Member Licensee.
