-11-
was completed in December of 1973. 2 . The POMPANO AEGEAN structure will adjoin and in certain areas connect with the PHASE I structure. However, the POMPANO ATLANTIS - PHASE I and the POMPANO AEGEAN will each constitute a separate condominium and each condominium will be operated by its own condominium association. 3 . Common Elements ( a ) Common elements shall include everything contained within the definition thereof set forth in Article II, Section 5 above. The term "common elements", when used throughout this Declaration, shall mean both common elements and limited common elements, unless the context otherwise specifically requires. ( b ) Restraint upon partition. Recognizing that the proper use of an apartment unit by any owner or owners is dependent upon the use and enjoyment of the common elements in common with the owners of all other apartment units, and that it is in the interest of all owners of apartment units that the ownership of the common elements be retained in common by the owners of apartment units in the con- dominium, it is declared that the percentage of the undivided interest in the common elements appurtenant to each apartment unit shall remain undivided and no owner of any apartment unit shall bring or have any right to bring any action for partition or division. ( c ) Ownership. Each of the Owners of a condominium unit shall own an undivided interest in the common elements, which said undivided interest, stated as percentages is set forth on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof and marked Exhibit 2. The aforesaid undivided interest shall be conveyed with each respective condominium unit, and such undivided interest cannot be changed, altered or amended, and the Developer, its grantees, successors or assigns, covenants and agrees that the undivided interest in the common elements, and the fee title to the respective condominium unit conveyed therewith shall not be separated or separately conveyed, and each said undivided interest shall be deemed to be conveyed or encumbered with the respective condominium unit even though the description in the instrument of conveyance or encumbrance may refer only to the fee title to the condominium unit or condominium parcel. 4 . Limited Common Elements, as the term is used herein, shall mean and comprise that portion of the common elements consisting of separate and desig- nated areas as specifically identified on Exhibit 3 attached hereto, as to each of which said areas, a right or exclusive use for parking purposes and storage area is hereby reserved as an appurtenance to a particular apartment unit. 5 . Easements. Easements are reserved through the condominium property as may be required for utility services in order to adequately serve the condo- minium and to adequately serve lands other than the condominium property now or hereafter owned by the Developer which are adjacent to or in the vicinity of the condominium property; provided, however, easements through an apartment shall only be according to the plans and specifications for the building containing the apartment or as the building is actually constructed, unless approved, in writing, by the apartment owner. ARTICLE IV THE UNITS 1 . Unit Designations. POMPANO AEGEAN will have 240 condominium apartment units. Each apartment unit has been assigned a numerical designation as described in Exhibit 3 attached hereto. The locations and boundaries of each apartment unit

-12-
are more particularly described in Exhibit 3. 2 . Unit Boundaries. Each unit shall include that part of the building containing the unit that lies within the boundaries of the unit, which bound- aries are as follows: ( a ) Upper and lower boundaries. The upper and lower boundaries of the unit shall be the following boundaries extended to an intersection with the perimetrical boundaries: ( i ) Upper boundary - the horizontal plane of the upper surfaces of the ceiling slab; ( i i ) Lower boundary - the horizontal plane of the upper surfaces of the floor slab. ( b ) Perimetrical boundaries. The perimetrical boundaries of the apartment shall be the following boundaries extended to an intersection with the upper and lower boundaries: ( i ) Exterior building walls - the intersection vertical planes adjacent to and which include the exterior of the outside walls of the apart- ment building bounding unit and fixtures thereon, and when there is attached to the building a balcony, loggia, terrace, canopy, stairway or other portion of the building serving only the apartment being bounded, such boundaries shall be the intersecting vertical planes adjacent to and which include all of such structures and fixtures thereon. ( i i ) Interior building walls - the vertical planes of the center line of walls bounding an apartment extended to intersections with other perimetrical boundaries with the following exceptions: ( A ) When walls between apartments are of varying thickness, or abut a column or shaft, the plane of the center line of a bounding wall shall be extended to an intersection with the connecting bound- ing plane without regard to the plane of the center line of an intervening column or shaft. ( B ) When walls of different thickness abut with a flush side so that their center lines do not intersect, the plane of the center line of the thinner wall shall be extended into the thicker wall for a dis- tance which is one-half the thickness of the thinner wall, and the boundary shall thence run at a right angle to the plane of the center line of the thicker wall. 3 . Appurtenances to Apartments. The owner of each apartment unit shall own a share and certain interests in the condominium property, which share and interests are appurtenant to his apartment, including but not limited to, the following items that are appurtenant to the several apartments as indicated. ( a ) Common elements and common surplus. The undivided share in the land and other common elements and in the common surplus which are appurtenant to each apartment unit as set forth hereafter in Exhibit 2 attached hereto.

The membership of each unit owner in the Association and the interest of each unit owner in the funds and assets and property held or owned by the Condominium Association. ( c ) Automobile Parking Spaces. Automobile parking spaces are set forth in the plot plans attached hereto. Said parking spaces form a part of the limited common elements of this condominium. Each unit owner
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-13-
shall be entitled to the use and occupancy of one automobile parking space. Initial assignment of specific parking spaces to particular units shall be determined by the Developer. Thereafter, or at such earlier time as the Developer may designate, the assignment of parking spaces and all questions relating to parking shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Condominium Association. Parking assignments shall not be recorded. Parking spaces not assigned to particular units or assigned to unit owners who do not own or operate an automobile shall be available for reassignment, and for general use by guests and visitors of all unit owners, as determined by the Board of Directors, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations in respect thereto as spaces shall be considered common elements. 3 . Liability for Common Expenses and Share of Common Surplus. Each apartment unit owner shall be liable for a proportionate share of the common expenses and shall be entitled to a share of the common surplus, as set forth in Exhibit 2 attached. The foregoing right to a share of the common surplus does not include the right to withdraw or require payment or distribution of the same.
4 . Restriction Against Further Subdividing of Apartments and Separate Conveyance of Appurtenant Common Elements, Etc. No apartment unit may be divided or subdivided into a smaller apartment unit than as shown on Exhibit 3 hereto, nor shall any apartment unit, or portion thereof, be added to or in- corporated into any other apartment unit. The undivided interest in the common elements declared to be an appurtenance to each apartment unit shall not be conveyed, devised, encumbered or otherwise dealt with separately from said apartment unit, and the undivided interest in common elements appurtenant to each apartment unit shall be deemed conveyed, devised, encumbered or other- wise included with the apartment unit even though such undivided interest is not expressly mentioned or described in the instrument conveying, devising, encumbering or otherwise dealing with such apartment unit. Any conveyance, mortgage or other instrument which purports to affect the conveyance, devise or encumbrance, or which purports to grant any right, interest or lien in, to or upon an apartment unit shall be null, void and of no effect insofar as the same purports to affect any interest in an apartment unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in common elements, unless the same purports to convey, devise, encumber or otherwise trade or deal with the entire apartment unit. Any instrument conveying, devising, encumbering, or otherwise dealing with any apartment unit which describes said apartment unit by the apartment unit number assigned thereto in Exhibit 3 without limitation or exception, shall be deemed and construed to affect the entire apartment unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the common elements. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or preventing ownership of any apartment unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the common elements by more than one person or entity as tenants in common, joint tenants, or as tenants by the entirety.
ARTICLE V VOTING RIGHTS There shall be one person with respect to each unit ownership who shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of the unit owners. Such person shall be known (and is hereinafter referred to) as a "Voting Member". If a unit is owned by more than one person, the owners of said unit shall designate one of them as the Voting Member, or in the case of a corporate unit owner, an officer or employee thereof shall be the Voting Member. The designation of the Voting Member shall be made as provided by and subject to the provisions and restrictions set forth in the By-Laws of the Association. Each Condominium Unit shall be entitled to one vote. The vote of a Condominium Unit is not divisible.
Note: Paragraph 3 number repeated; should be paragraph 4, and paragraph 4 should be 5.

ARTICLE VI COMMON EXPENSE AND COMMON SURPLUS 1 . Common Expenses. The common expenses of the Condominium shall be shared by the apartment unit owners as specified and set forth in Exhibit 2, The foregoing ratio of sharing common expenses and assessments shall remain, regardless of the purchase price of the Condominium Parcels, their locations, or the building square footage included in each Condominium Unit. 2 . Common Surplus. Any common surplus of the Association shall be owned by each of the apartment unit owners in the same proportion as their percentage ownership interest in the common elements; any common surplus being the excess of all receipts of the Association from this Condominium including, but not limited to, assessments, rents, profits and revenues on account of the common elements of this Condominium over the amount of the common expenses of this Condominium. 3 . Exemption from Common Expense; Developer's Guarantee of Common Expenses. Developer guarantees that the common expenses for the entire period commencing from the date on which title to the first condominium unit is transferred from the Seller to a Purchaser, and ending twelve (12) months thereafter, or at such time as Seller shall turn over control of the Condominium Association to the unit owners, whichever is first, shall not increase over the amount set forth in the proposed initial operating budget for the condominium, as adjusted for inflation as set forth therein. The Seller, therefore, shall not be responsible for the payment of monthly maintenance for units owned by Seller during such period. The Seller, pursuant to its guaranty and pursuant to Chapter 718.116(8)(b) shall pay any amount of common expenses incurred during such guarantee period and not produced by the assessments at the guaranteed level receivable from other unit owners. During the period the Developer has guaranteed the maintenance, the Developer is not required to deposit or pay maintenance assessments for unsold condominium units since the Developer is for such guaranty period required to make up any deficit in the operational expenses of the condominium. Furthermore, during the period of the Developer's guaranty, the Developer will not be required to fund any reserves for replacement or repairs in any amount, nor will the Developer ever be required to fund any deficits in reserves or to pay for any item for which an actual cash expenditure is not required. So long as Developer retains control of the Condominium Association, Developer shall have the right to extend the aforesaid guarantee period by a written instrument executed by the Developer as an amendment hereto and recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida.
ARTICLE VII METHOD OF AMENDMENT OF DECLARATION 1 . Sixty Percent Vote. This Declaration may be amended at any regular or special meeting of the unit owners of this Condominium called or convened in accordance with the By-Laws, by the affirmative vote of Voting Members casting not less than 60% of the total vote of the members of the Association. All amendments shall be recorded and certified, as required by the Condominium Act.
2 . Limitations on Amendment. No amendment shall change any Condominium Parcel nor a Condominium Unit's proportionate share of the common expenses or common surplus, nor the voting rights appurtenant to any unit, unless the record owner(s) thereof, and all record owners of mortgages or other voluntarily placed liens thereon, shall join in the execution of the Amendment. No Amendment shall be passed which shall impair or prejudice the rights and priorities of any mortgages, or change the provisions of this Declaration with respect to in- stitutional mortgages or mortgagees of record, nor shall the provisions of
Amendment 5/22/1985 – Bk 12556 Pgs 888, 889
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-15-
Article XII of this Declaration be changed without the written approval of the institutional first mortgagee holding the highest dollar amount of first mortgages encumbering units in this condominium. 3 . Approval of Developer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Declaration may not be amended without the written approval of Developer so long as De- veloper continues to own any unsold units in this condominium. No amendment shall change the rights and privileges of the Developer without the Developer's written approval. 4 . Developer's Rights to Amend. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Article VII, the Developer reserves the right to change the interior design and arrangement of all units, and to alter the boundaries between units, so long as the Developer owns the units so altered; however, no such change shall increase the number of units nor alter the boundaries of the common elements, except the party wall between any Condominium units, without Amendment of this Declaration in the manner hereinbefore set forth. If the Developer shall make any changes in units, as provided in this paragraph, such changes shall be reflected by the Amendment of this Declaration with a survey attached, re- flecting such authorized alteration of units, and said Amendment need only be executed and acknowledged by the Developer and any holders of institutional mortgages encumbering the said altered units. The survey shall be certified in the manner required by the Condominium Act. If more than one unit is concerned, the Developer shall apportion between the units the shares in the common elements appurtenant to the units concerned, and the voting rights, together with appor- tioning the common expenses and common surplus of the units concerned, and such shares of common elements, common expenses and common surplus, and the voting rights of the units concerned shall be duly noted in the Amendment of the Declaration. In addition to the foregoing, so long as Developer retains control of the Condominium Association, Developer shall have the right to amend this Declaration by a written recorded instrument executed by Developer.
ARTICLE VIII THE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION 1 . The operating entity of the Condominium shall be POMPANO AEGEAN CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC., which shall be responsible for the operation of the Condominium; said Association being organized and existing pursuant to the Florida Condominium Act.

( a ) Assessment of the Developer as a unit owner for capital improvements. ( b ) Any action by the Association that would be detrimental to the sales of units by the Developer; provided, however, that an increase in assess- ments for common expenses without a discrimination against the Developer shall not be deemed to be detrimental to the sales of units.
ARTICLE IX BY-LAWS The administration of the Association and the operation of the Condominium property shall be governed by the By-Laws of the Association which are set forth in a document which is annexed to this Declaration, marked Exhibit 5. No modification of or Amendment to the By-Laws of said Association shall be valid unless set forth in or annexed to a duly recorded Amendment to this Declaration. The By-Laws may be amended in the manner provided for therein, but no Amendment to said By-Laws shall be adopted which would affect or impair the validity or priority of any mortgage covering any Condominium Parcel(s), or which would change the provisions of the By-Laws with respect to institutional mortgages or mortgagees without the written approval of all institutional mortgagees of record. No amendment shall change the rights and privileges of the Developer without the Developer's written approval.
ARTICLE X ASSESSMENTS 1 . General. The Condominium Association, through its Board of Directors, shall have the power to fix and determine from time to time the sum or sums necessary and adequate to provide for the common expenses of the Condominium property, and such other sums as are specifically provided for in this Declaration and the By-Laws and the Exhibits attached hereto. The procedure for the deter- mination of all such assessments shall be as set forth in the By-Laws of the Association and this Declaration, and the Exhibits attached hereto. The common expenses shall be assessed against each Condominium Apartment Unit Owner as provided for in Article VI and elsewhere as provided for in this Declaration. 2 . Interest and Late Charges and Attorney's Fees. Maintenance or assessments that are unpaid for over ten (10) days after due date shall bear interest at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum from due date until paid and, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, a late charge of Twenty-Five ($25.00) Dollars shall be due and payable. In the event that the Association employs an attorney to collect any unpaid assessment by suit or otherwise, the delinquent unit owner shall pay a reasonable attorney's fee. So long as the Developer controls the Association, the Developer shall have the right to waive the collection of interest or late payments of maintenance or assessments. 3 . Default in Payment of Assessments; Lien, Foreclosure. The Association shall have a lien on each Condominium Parcel for unpaid assessments and late charges, together with interest thereon, against the apartment unit owner of such Condominium Parcel, together with a lien on all tangible personal property located within said apartment unit, except that such lien upon the aforesaid tangible personal property shall be subordinate to prior bona fide liens of record. Reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Association incident to the collection of such assessments or the enforcement of such lien, together with all sums advanced and paid by the Association 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, shall
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-17-
be payable by the unit owner and secured by such lien. The Board of Directors may take such action as it deems necessary to collect assessments by personal action or by enforcing and foreclosing said lien, and may settle and compromise the same if deemed in its best interests. Said lien shall be effective as of date of recording and in the manner provided for by the Condominium Act and shall have the priorities established by said Act. The Association shall be entitled to bid at any sale held pursuant to a suit to foreclose an assessment lien, and to apply as a cash credit against its bid all sums due, as provided herein, covered by the lien enforced. In case of such foreclosure, the unit owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for the Condominium Parcel and plaintiff, in such foreclosure, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect same from the unit owner and/or occupant. 4 . Foreclosure by Institutional Mortgage Holder. Where the mortgagee of an institutional first mortgage of record, or other purchaser of a Condominium unit, obtains title to a Condominium Parcel as a result of foreclosure of the institutional first mortgage, or when an institutional first mortgagee of record accepts a Deed to said Condominium Parcel in lieu of foreclosure, such acquirer of title, its successors and assigns, shall not be liable for the shares of common expenses or assessments by the Association pertaining to such Condominium Parcel, or chargeable to the former unit owner of such parcel, which became due prior to acquisition of title as a result of the foreclosure or the acceptance of such Deed in lieu of foreclosure. Such unpaid share of common expenses or assessments shall be deemed to be common expenses collectible from all of the apartment unit owners, excluding such acquirer, its successors and assigns. 5 . Payment of Delinquent Assessment by Transferee. Any person who acquires an interest in a unit, except through foreclosure of an institutional first mortgage of record, including, without limitation, persons acquiring title by operation of law, including purchasers at judicial sales, shall not be entitled to occupancy of the unit or enjoyment of the common elements until such time as all unpaid assessments due and owing by the former owners have been paid. The Association, acting through its Board of Directors, shall have the right to assign its claim and lien rights for the recovery of any unpaid assessments to the Developer, or to any unit owner or group of unit owners, or to any third party. 6 . Developer shall be exempt from assessments as provided hereinabove in Article VI, Section 3.
ARTICLE XI PROVISIONS RELATING TO SALE OR RENTAL OR OTHER ALIENATION OR MORTGAGING OF CONDOMINIUM UNITS 1 . Sale or Rental of Units - Association to Have Right of First Refusal. ( a ) In the event any apartment unit owner wishes to sell, rent or lease his apartment unit, the Association shall have the option to purchase, rent, or lease said unit, upon the same conditions as are offered by the unit owner to a third person. Any attempt to sell, rent or lease said apartment unit without prior offer to the Association shall be deemed a breach of this Declaration and shall be wholly null and void, and shall confer no title or interest whatsoever upon the intended purchaser, tenant or lessee. ( b ) Should an apartment unit owner wish to sell, lease or rent his apartment unit, he shall, before accepting any offer to purchase, sell, lease or rent his unit, deliver to the Board of Directors of the Association a written notice containing the terms of the offer he has received or which he wishes to accept, the name and address of the person(s) to whom the proposed sale, lease or transfer is to be made, two bank references and three individual references (local, if possible) and such other information (to be requested within five (5) days from receipt of such notice) as may be required by the Board of Directors of the Association. The Board of Directors of the Association
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-18-
is authorized to waive any or all of the references aforementioned. ( c ) The Board of Directors of the Association, within ten (10) days after receiving such notice and such supplemental information as is required by the Board of Directors, shall either consent to the transaction specified in said notice, or by written notice to be delivered to the unit owner's unit (or mailed to the place designated by the unit owner in his notice), designate the Association, or the Association may designate one or more persons then unit owners, or any other person(s) satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Association, who are willing to purchase, lease or rent upon the same terms as those specified in the unit owner's notice. ( d ) The stated designee of the Board of Directors shall have fourteen (14) days from the date of the notice sent by the Board of Directors within which to make a binding offer to buy, lease or rent upon the same terms and conditions specified in the apartment unit owner's notice. Thereupon, the unit owner shall either accept such offer or withdraw and/or reject the offer specified in his notice to the Board of Directors. Failure of the Board of Directors to designate such person(s) or failure of such person(s) to make such offer within the said fourteen (14) day period shall be deemed consent by the Board of Directors to the transaction specified in the unit owner's notice, and the apartment unit owner shall be free to make or accept the offer specified in his notice, and sell, lease or rent said interest pursuant thereto to the prospective purchaser or tenant named therein within ninety (90) days after his notice was given. ( e ) The consent of the Board of Directors of the Association shall be in recordable form, signed by two officers of the Association, and shall be delivered to the purchaser or lessee. Should the Board of Directors fail to act, as herein set forth, and within the time provided herein, the Board of Directors of the Association shall, nevertheless, thereafter prepare and deliver its written approval, in recordable form, as aforesaid, and no conveyance of title or interest whatsoever shall be deemed valid without the consent of the Board of Directors, as herein set forth. ( f ) The sub-leasing or sub-renting of an apartment unit owner's interest shall be subject to the same limitations as are applicable to the leasing or renting thereof. The Association shall have the right to require that a substantially uniform form of lease or sub-lease be used or, in the alternative, the Board of Directors' approval of the lease or sub-lease form to be used shall be required. After approval, as herein set forth, entire apartment units may be rented, provided the occupancy is only by the lessee, his family and guests. No individual rooms may be rented and no transient tenants may be accommodated. ( g ) Where a corporate entity is the owner of a unit, it may desig- nate the occupants of the units as it desires and for such period of time as it desires without compliance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Article XI. The foregoing shall not be deemed an assignment or sub-leasing of a unit and shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of the first paragraph of Article XIII of this Declaration. ( h ) The Association shall have the right to require that sales of Condominium Parcels be effected by a form of Warranty Deed to be supplied by the Association. ( j ) In connection with the sale, mortgage, lease, sublease, or other transfer of a unit in any condominium operated by the Association, the Association shall receive a transfer fee in the amount of $50.00 or such other amount as provided in the Condominium Act, as amended from time to time.
2 . Mortgage and Other Alienation of Units. ( a ) An apartment unit owner may not mortgage his unit nor any interest therein without the approval of the Association, except to an insti- tutional mortgagee, as hereinbefore defined. The approval of any other mort- gagee may be upon conditions determined by the Board of Directors of the Association, and said approval, if granted, shall be in recordable form, executed by two officers of the Association.
Amended 3/19/1991 – Bk 18228 Pgs 0195, 0196 Reference for Insertion should have been ( i ) as the last recorded paragraph was (h).

( b ) No judicial sale of an apartment unit nor any interest therein shall be valid unless: ( i ) The sale is to a purchaser approved by the Association, which approval shall be in recordable form, executed by two officers of the Association and delivered to the purchaser; or ( i i ) The sale is a result of a public sale with open bidding. ( c ) Any sale, mortgage or lease which is not authorized pursuant to the terms of the Declaration shall he void, unless subsequently approved by the Board of Directors of the Association, and said approval shall have the same effect as though it had been given and filed of record simultaneously with the instrument it approved. ( d ) The foregoing provisions of this Article XI shall not apply to transfers by a unit owner to any member of his immediate family (viz., spouse, children or parents). ( e ) The phrase "sell, rent or lease", in addition to its general definition, shall be defined as including the transferring of an apartment unit owner's interest by gift, devise or involuntary or judicial sale. ( f ) In the event an apartment unit owner dies and his unit is conveyed or bequeathed to some person other than his spouse, children or parents, or if some other person is designated by the decedent's legal representative to re- ceive the ownership of the Condominium Unit, or if under the laws of descent and distribution of the State of Florida, the Condominium unit descends to some per- son or persons other than the decedent's spouse, children or parents, the Board of Directors of the Association may, within thirty (30) days of proper evidence or rightful designation served upon the President or any other officer of the Association, or within thirty (30) days from the date the Association is placed on actual notice of the said devisee or descendant, express its refusal or acceptance of the individual or individuals so designated as the owner of the Condominium Parcel. ( g ) If the Board of Directors of the Association shall consent, ownership of the Condominium Parcel may be transferred to the person or persons so designated, who shall thereupon become the owner(s) of the Condominium Parcel, subject to the provisions of this Declaration of Condominium and Exhibits attached hereto. ( h ) If, however, the Board of Directors of the Association shall re- fuse to consent, then the members of the Association shall be given an opportunity during thirty (30) days next after said last above mentioned thirty (30) days within which to purchase, or to furnish a purchaser for cash, the said Condominium Parcel, at the then fair market value thereof. Should the parties fail to agree on the value of such Condominium Parcel, the same shall be determined by an ap- praiser appointed by the Senior Judge of the Circuit Court in and for Broward County, Florida, upon ten (10) days' notice, on the petition of any party in interest. The expense of appraisal shall be paid by the said designated person or persons, or the legal representative of the deceased owner, out of the amount realized from the sale of such Condominium Parcel. In the event the members of the Association do not exercise the privilege of purchasing or furnishing a purchaser for said Condominium Parcel within such period and upon such terms, the person or persons so designated may then, and only in such event, take title to the Condominium Parcel; or such person or persons, or the legal representative of the deceased owner, may sell the said Condominium Parcel and such sale shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of the Declaration of Condominium and Exhibits attached hereto. ( i ) The liability of the apartment unit owner under these covenants shall continue, notwithstanding the fact that he may have leased, rented, or sub-let said interest, as provided herein. Every purchaser, tenant or lessee,
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-20-
shall take subject to this Declaration and all Exhibits attached hereto, including the By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation of the Association, as well as the provisions of the Condominium Act. ( j ) Special Provisions re Sale, Leasing, Mortgaging or Other Aliena- tion by Certain Mortgagees and Developer. ( i ) An institutional first mortgagee holding a mortgage on a Condominium Parcel, or the Developer upon becoming the owner of a Condo- minium Parcel through foreclosure, or by Deed in lieu of foreclosure, or whomsoever shall become the acquirer of title at the foreclosure sale of an institutional first mortgage or the lien for common expenses, shall have the unqualified right to sell, lease or otherwise transfer said apartment unit, including the fee ownership thereof, and/or to mort- gage said parcel without prior offer to the Board of Directors of the Association and without the prior approval of the said Board of Directors. The provisons of Section 1 and 2 of this Article XI shall be inapplicable to such institutional first mortgagee or the Developer or acquirer of title, as aforedescribed in this paragraph. ( i i ) The provisions of Sections 1 and 2 of this Article XI shall be inapplicable to the Developer who is irrevocably empowered to sell, lease, rent and/or mortgage Condominium Parcels or units, and portions thereof, to any purchaser, lessee or mortgagee approved by them. The Developer shall have the right to transact any business necessary to consummate sales or rentals of units, or portions thereof, including but not limited to, the right to maintain models, have signs, use the common elements and to show units. The sales office(s), signs, and all items pertaining to sales shall not be considered common elements and shall remain the property of the Developer.
ARTICLE XII INSURANCE PROVISIONS 1 . LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Board of Directors of the Association shall obtain public liability and property damage insurance covering all of the common elements of the Condo- minium and insuring the Association, the unit owners and the common unit owners, as its and their interests appear, in such amounts and providing such coverage as the Board of Directors of the Association may determine from time to time, provided that the minimum amount of coverage shall be $100,000/$300,000/$10,000. Premiums for the payment of such insurance shall be paid by the Board of Directors of the Association, and such premiums shall be charged as a common expense. 2 . CASUALTY INSURANCE. ( a ) Purchase of Insurance. The Association shall obtain fire and extended coverage insurance and vandalism and malicious mischief insurance in- suring all of the insurable improvements within and leased by the Condominium, including personal property owned by the Association, in and for the interests of the Association, all unit owners and their mortgagees, as their interests may appear, in a company acceptable to the standards set by the Board of Directors of the Association in an amount equal to the maximum insurable replacement value, as determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Association. The premiums for such coverage and other expenses in connection with said insurance shall be paid by the Association, and shall be charged as a common expense. The Company or companies with whom the Association shall place its insurance coverage, as provided in this Declaration, must be good and responsible com- panies authorized to do business in the State of Florida. ( b ) Mortgage Approval. The institutional first mortgagee holding
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-21-
the greatest dollar amount of first mortgages encumbering Condominium units in this condominium shall have the right to approve the policies and the com- pany or companies who are the insurers under the insurance placed by the Association, as herein provided, and the amount thereof. The insurance company or companies must be authorized to do business in the State of Florida. Further, the institutional first mortgagee holding the greatest dollar amount of first mortgages encumbering condominium units in this condominium shall have the right to approve the Insurance Trustee, which Trustee must be a bank located in Broward County, Florida, having trust powers; and the right to approve the Insurance Agent and location of the Insurance Agent, which Insurance Agent shall have an office located in Dade, Broward or Palm Beach Counties. The rights to approval mentioned above shall always be given to the institutional first mortgagee holding the greatest dollar amount of first mortgages encumber- ing condominium units in this condominium property, and in the absence of the action of said mortgagee, then the Association shall have the said rights, without qualification. ( c ) Loss Payable Provisions - Insurance Trustee. All policies purchased by the Association shall be for the benefit of the Association, and all unit owners and their mortgagees, as their interests may appear. However, the Insurance Trustee shall be the named insured and it shall not be necessary to name the Association or the unit owners; however, mortgagee endorsements shall be issued. Such policies shall be deposited with the Insurance Trustee (as hereinafter defined), who must first acknowledge that the policies and any pro- ceeds thereof will be held in accordance with the terms hereof. Said policies shall provide that all insurable proceeds payable on account of loss or damage shall be payable to the Insurance Trustee, which may be any bank in Florida with trust powers as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Association, which Trustee is herein referred to as the "Insurance Trustee", subject, however, to the paramount right of the institutional mortgagee specified in the preceeding paragraph to designate and appoint the Insurance Trustee. The Insurance Trustee shall not be liable for the payment of premiums nor for the failure to collect any insurance proceeds, nor for the form or content of the policies. The sole duty of the Insurance Trustee shall be to receive such proceeds as are paid and hold the same in trust for the purposes elsewhere stated herein, and for the benefit of the Association and the unit owners and their respective mortgagees, in the following shares, but such shares need not be set forth upon the records of the Insurance Trustee: ( i ) Common Elements. Proceeds on account of damage to common elements - an undivided share for each unit owner, such share being the same as the undivided share in the common elements appurtenant to his unit. ( i i ) Condominium Units. Proceeds on account of Condominium Units shall be in the following undivided shares: ( 1 ) Partial Destruction. When units are to be repaired and restored, for the owners of the damaged units, in proportion to the cost of repairing the damage suffered by each unit. ( 2 ) Total Destruction of Condominium improvements, or where "very substantial" damage occurs and the Condominium improve- ments are not to be restored, as provided hereinafter in this Article, for the owners of all Condominium units, each owner's share being in proportion to his share in the common elements appurtenant to his Condominium unit. ( i i i ) Mortgages. In the event a mortgagee endorsement has been issued as to a unit, the share of the unit owner shall be held in trust for the mortgagee and the unit owners as their interests may appear; provided, however, that no mortgagee shall have any right to determine or participate in the determination as to whether or not any damaged property shall be reconstructed or repaired.

-22-
( d ) Distribution of Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance policies received by the Insurance Trustee shall be distributed to or for the benefit of the beneficial owners and expended or disbursed after first paying or mak- ing provision for the payment of the expenses of the Insurance Trustee in the following manner: ( i ) Reconstruction or Repair. If the damage for which the proceeds were paid is to be repaired and restored, the remaining proceeds shall be paid to defray the cost thereof, as elsewhere provided. Any proceeds remaining after defraying such costs shall be distributed to the beneficial owners, all remittances to unit owners and their mortgagees being payable jointly to them. This is a covenant for the benefit of any mortgagee of a unit and may be enforced by said mortgagee. Said remittances shall be made sole- ly to an institutional first mortgagee when requested by such institutional first mortgagee whose mortgage provides that it has the right to require application of the insurance proceeds to the payment of reduction of its mortgage debt. ( i i ) Failure to Reconstruct or Repair. If it is determined in the manner elsewhere provided that the damage for which the proceeds are paid shall not be repaired or restored, the proceeds shall be disbursed to the beneficial owners; remittances to unit owners and their mortgagees being payable jointly to them. This is a covenant for the benefit of any mortgagee to a unit and may be enforced by such mortgagee. Said remittances shall be made solely to an institutional first mortgagee when requested by such institutional first mortgagee whose mortgage provides that it has the right to require application of the insurance proceeds to the payment of its mortgage debt. In the event of loss or damage to personal property belonging to the Association and should the Board of Directors of the Association determine not to replace such personal property as may be lost or damaged, the proceeds shall be disbursed to the beneficial owners as surplus in the manner elsewhere stated herein. ( i i i ) Certificate. In making distribution to unit owners and their mortgagees, the Insurance Trustee may rely upon a certi- ficate of the Association, as to the names of the unit owners and their respective shares of the distribution, approved in writing by an attorney authorized to practice law in the State of Florida, a title insurance company or abstract company authorized to do business in the State of Florida. Upon request of the Insurance Trustee, the Association shall forthwith deliver such certificate. ( e ) Loss Within a Single Unit. If loss shall occur within a single unit or units without damage to the common elements and/or the party wall be tween units, the provisions of Article XII, Section 2, Paragraph (f) below shall apply. ( f ) Loss Less than "Very Substantial". Where a loss or damage occurs within a unit or units, or to the common elements, or to any unit or units and the common elements, but said loss is less than "very substantial" (as hereinafter defined), it shall be obligatory upon the Association and the unit owner(s) to repair, restore and rebuild the damage caused by said loss. Where such loss or damage is less than "very substantial": ( i ) The Board of Directors of the Association shall promptly obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the cost of repairing and restoration. ( i i ) If the damage or loss is limited to the common elements with no or minimum damage or loss to any individual units, and if such damage or loss to the common elements is less than $5,000.00, the insurance proceeds shall be endorsed by the Insurance Trustee
Copyright© 2014-2019 Ray Tucker, REALTOR® 954-317-3987 DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
-23-
over to the Association, and the Association shall promptly contract for the repair and restoration of the damage. ( i i i ) If the damage or loss involves individual units including the recreation unit encumbered by institutional first mortgages, as well as the common elements, or if the damage is limited to the common elements alone, but it is in excess of $5,000.00, the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed by the Insurance Trustee for the repair and restoration of the property upon the written direction and approval of the Association; pro- vided, however, that upon the request of an institutional first mortgagee, the written approval shall also be required of the in- stitutional first mortgagee owning and holding the first recorded mortgage encumbering a Condominium unit, so long as it owns and holds any mortgage encumbering a Condominium unit. At such time as the aforesaid institutional first mortgagee is not the holder of a mortgage on a unit, then this right of approval and desig- nation shall pass to the institutional first mortgagee having the highest dollar indebtedness on units in the Condominium property. Should written approval be required, as aforesaid, it shall be said mortgagee's duty to give written notice thereof to the Insurance Trustee. The Insurance Trustee may rely upon the certificate of the Association, and the aforesaid institutional first mortgagee's written approval, if said institutional first mortgagee's approval is required as to the payee and the amount to be paid from said proceeds. All payees shall deliver paid bills and waivers of mechanics' liens to the Insurance Trustee and execute any affidavit required by law or by the Association, the aforesaid institutional first mortgagee and the Insurance Trustee, and deliver same to the Insurance Trustee. In addition to the foregoing, the institutional first mortgagee whose approval may be required, as aforedescribed, shall have the right to require the Association to obtain a Completion, Performance and Payment Bond in such form and amount and with a bonding company authorized to do business in the State of Florida as is acceptable to the said mortgagee. ( i v ) Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Association shall have the right and obligation to negotiate and contract for the repair and restoration of the premises. ( v ) If the net proceeds of the insurance are insufficient to pay for the estimated cost of restoration and repair (or for the actual cost thereof if the work has actually been done), the Associa- tion shall promptly, upon determination of the deficiency, levy a special assessment against all apartment unit owners in proportion to the apartment unit owner's share in the common elements for that portion of the deficiency as is attributable to the cost for re- storation of the common elements, and against the individual owners for that portion of the deficiency as is attributable to his individual apartment unit; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of the Association finds that it cannot determine with reasonable certainty the portion of the deficiency attributable to a specific individual damaged unit(s), then the Board of Directors, shall levy an assessment for the total deficiency against all of the apartment unit owners' share in the common elements, just as though all of said damage had occurred in the common elements. The special assess- ment funds shall be delivered by the Association to the Insurance Trustee, and added by said Insurance Trustee to the proceeds available for the repair and restoration of the property. ( v i ) In the event the insurance proceeds are sufficient to pay for the cost of restoration and repair, or in the event the insurance proceeds are insufficient but additional funds are raised by special assessment within ninety (90) days after the casualty so that sufficient

-24-
funds are on hand to fully pay for such restoration and repair, then no mortgagee shall have the right to require the applica- tion of insurance proceeds to the payment of its loan; provided, however, that this provision may be waived by the Board of Directors of the Association, in favor of any institutional first mortgagee upon request therefor at any time. To the extent that any insurance proceeds are required to be paid over to such mortgagee, the apart- ment unit owner shall be obliged to replenish the funds so paid over, and said apartment unit owner and his unit shall be subject to special assessment for such sum. ( g ) “Very Substantial” Damage. As used in this Declaration, or any other context dealing with this Condominium, the term "very substantial" damage shall mean loss or damage whereby three-fourths (3/4ths) or more of the total unit space in the condominium is rendered untenantable, or loss or damage whereby seventy-five (75%) percent or more of the total amount of insurance coverage (placed as per Article XII, Section 2, Paragraph (a)) becomes payable. Should such "very substantial" damage occur, then: ( i ) The Association shall promptly obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the cost of repair and restoration thereof. ( i i ) The provisions of Article XII, Section 2, Paragraph (f) ( v i ) shall not be applicable to any institutional first mortgagee who shall have the right, if its mortgage so provides, to require appli- cation of the insurance proceeds to the payment or reduction of its mortgage debt. The Board of Directors of the Association shall ascertain as promptly as possible the net amount of insurance pro- ceeds available for restoration and repair. ( i i i ) Thereupon a membership meeting shall be called by the Board of Directors of the Association to be held not later than sixty (60) days after the casualty to determine the wishes of the membership with reference to the abandonment of the Condominium project, subject to the following: ( 1 ) If the net insurance proceeds available for restoration and repair, together with the funds advanced by apartment unit owners to replace insurance proceeds paid over to institutional first mortgagees, are sufficient to cover the cost thereof so that no special assessment is required, then the Condominium property shall be restored and repaired, unless two- thirds (2/3rds) of the unit owners of this Condominium shall vote to abandon the Condominium project, in which case the Condominium property shall be removed from the provisions of the law by the recording of an instrument terminating this Condominium in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida, which said instrument shall further set forth the facts effecting the termination, certi- fied by the Association and executed by its President and Secretary. The termination of the Condominium shall become effective upon the recording of said instrument and the unit owners shall there- upon become owners as tenants in common in the property; i.e., the real, personal, tangible and intangible personal property, re- maining structures of the Condominium and their undivided interests in the property shall be and the same as their undivided interests in the common elements of this Condominium prior to its termination, and the mortgages minimum prior to its termination, and the mortgages and liens upon Condominium Parcels shall become mortgages and liens upon the undivided interests of such tenants in common, with the same priority as existed prior to the termination of the Condo- minium. ( 2 ) If the net insurance proceeds available for restora- tion and repair, together with funds advanced by apartment unit

-25-
owners to replace insurance proceeds paid over to institutional first mortgagees, are not sufficient to cover the costs thereof so that a special assessment will be required, and if a majority of the unit owners of this Condominium vote against such special assessment and to abandon the Condominium project, then it shall be so abandoned and the Condominium property removed from the pro- visions of the law and the Condominium terminated, as set forth above, and the unit owners shall be tenants in common in the property in such undivided interests, and all mortgages and liens upon the Condominium Parcels shall encumber the undivided interests of such tenants in common, as is provided above. In the event a majority of the unit owners of this Condominium vote in favor of special assessments, the Association shall immediately levy such assessment and, thereupon, the Association shall proceed to negotiate and contract for such repairs and restoration subject to the pro- visions of Paragraph (f), Sub-sections (iii) and (iv) above. The special assessment funds shall be delivered by the Association to the Insurance Trustee and added by said Trustee to the proceeds available for the restoration and repair of the property. The proceeds shall be disbursed by the Insurance Trustee for the repair and restoration of the property as provided in Paragraph (f), Sub- section (iii) above. To the extent that any insurance proceeds are paid over to such mortgagee and in the event it is determined not to abandon the Condominium project and to vote a special assessment, the apartment unit owner shall be obliged to replenish the funds so paid over to his mortgagee, and said apartment unit owner and his unit shall be subject to special assessment for such sum.

Each individual apartment unit owner shall be responsible for pur- chasing, at his own expense, liability insurance to cover accidents occurring within his own unit and for purchasing insurance upon his own personal property. 6 .

In the event that the Covenants Enforcement Committee determines an instance of such probable cause, it shall report same to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall thereupon provide written notice to the person alleged to be in violation, and the owner of the unit which that person occupies if that person is not the owner, of the specific nature of the alleged violation and of the opportunity of a hearing before the Covenants Enforcement Committee upon a request made within five (5) days of the sending of the notice.

Any party at the hearing may be represented by counsel. ( c ) Subsequent to any hearing , or if no hearing is timely requested and if no acknowledgement or promise is timely made, the Board of Directors shall determine whether there is sufficient evidence of a violation or violations as provided herein. If the Board of Directors determines that there is sufficient evidence, it may levy a fine for each violation in the amount provided herein. ( d ) Nothing herein shall be construed as a prohibition of or the limitation of the right of the Board of Directors to pursue other means to enforce the provisions of the various condominium and Association’s documents, including but not limited to, legal action for damages or injunctive relief.
