The mere acquisition of title to or rental of any of the condominium units (herein referred to as "units") of the Condominium or the act of occupancy of the said units will signify that these By-Laws and the provisions thereof are accepted, ****Unofficial and Unrecorded***** ratified and will be complied with by any persons so acquiring title, renting, or otherwise occupying a unit.

SECTION 1. Expenses, Assessments.

(a) Each unit owner shall be liable for annual assessments, or installments thereof, for common expenses for operation and maintenance of the condominium that come due while such unit owner is the owner of a unit, in proportion to his percentage interest in common expenses and common profits. Such expenses shall include but not be limited to, all types of insurance, and the costs of operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Condominium and the common elements thereon. The Board of Directors shall, with approval of the Council, set a monthly installment for each unit in an amount sufficient to provide for its share of all such current expenses, reasonable reserves for future expenses of administration, and such other expenses as the Board of Directors may deem proper, subject to adjustment from time to time, as they may deem necessary. Such monthly installment and any other assessment installment shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of every month. Any installment not paid within 30 days of the due date is delinquent. A late charge of 1/10 of the delinquent installment shall be imposed if the delinquency continues for at least 15 calendar days. In addition, any delinquent installment shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half per cent (1.5%) per month accruing from thirty (30) days following the date due until paid together with such interest. The Board of Directors in its discretion may accelerate the remaining balance due on any annual ****Unofficial and Unrecorded***** assessment in the event of a delinquency in the payment of any installment of such assessment. Any delinquent installment, late charge or interest due shall constitute a lien on the unit. Such lien shall be evidenced by a statement of condominium lien recorded in the Land Records of Garrett County, Maryland. Such statement shall include a description of the unit, the name of the unit owner and the amount due, and shall be signed and verified by the Chairman and Treasurer of the Council. In any suit to foreclose the lien against any unit owner, the Council may represent itself through the Manager, if any, or the Board of Directors in like manner as any mortgagee of real property. The Manager, if any, or the Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Council, shall have the power to bid for and acquire such unit at a foreclosure sale. Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid common element expenses, late charges and interest shall be maintainable. Such recovery shall include all costs and reasonable attorney's fees. Such suits shall not foreclose or waive any lien obtained by the Council for the nonpayment of such common element expenses. Once such a lien has been asserted, the unit owner shall not be entitled to any vote on any matter submitted to the Council unless and until such assessment, together with all interest, charges and costs thereon, has been paid in full.

(b) In addition, if it be so determined by a majority of the Board of Directors that a given unit has caused excess expense to the Condominium, the Board of Directors is hereby empowered to impose a supplemental assessment against such unit in such amount as the Members of the Board of Directors determines will compensate the Condominium for such excess expense. Excess expense includes, but is not limited to repairing damage caused to the condominium or increased insurance costs as a result of actions by the Owner, his tenants, guests, agents, contractors or employees. Such special assessment shall bear interest and be collected as the regular assessment described in Subsection (a) hereof and shall constitute a lien until paid.

SECTION 3. Maintenance and Repair.

(a) Every unit owner must perform promptly all maintenance and repair work within his own unit. If the omission of such work would be detrimental to the Condominium or to any other unit, then he shall be liable for damages incurred by reason of his failure to perform such work. If such work is not commenced, and thereafter diligently pursued by the unit owner within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor from the Board of Directors, then the Board of Directors, its agents, servants and employees may enter the unit and perform the work at the expense of the unit owner, which expense shall be added to, and become due and payable with and as a part of, the owner's next monthly assessment payment due to the Council.

(b) Except for those areas which the council is required to maintain and repair hereunder (if any), each unit owner shall at the unit owner's expense keep the interior of his unit and its equipment and appurtenances in good order, condition, and repair in a clean and sanitary condition, and shall do all redecorating, painting and varnishing which may at any time be necessary to maintain the good appearance and condition of the unit. In addition to decorating and keeping the interior of the unit in good repair, the unit owner shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of any plumbing fixtures, water heaters, interior lighting fixtures, refrigerators, air-conditioning equipment, dishwashers or ranges that may be in, or connected with the unit.

The unit owner shall also, at the unit owner's expense, keep the balcony and the interior of the said patio and storage shed and any other limited common elements which are appurtenant to his unit in a clean and sanitary condition and be responsible for the routine maintenance thereof.5 The Council of Unit Owners shall not be responsible to the unit owner for loss or damage by theft or otherwise of articles which may be stored by the unit owner in the balcony, patio, storage shed or unit.

5 Filed25-Jun2008Liber1376page216 ****Unofficial and Unrecorded***** The unit owner shall promptly discharge any lien which may hereafter be filed against his condominium.

(c) The Council of Unit Owners shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the roofs, exterior walls, foundations, doors and window components of the buildings on an as needed basis as determined by the Board of Directors for the sound operation and appearance of the Condominium. Exterior walls shall include from the exterior surface of the walls to the interior surface of the drywall, but not paint or wall covering on the drywall. The cost of such maintenance, repair and replacement shall be a Common Expense. However, damage to the drywall caused by the Owner or occupant, either intentionally or by negligence, will be the owner’s responsibility to correct. The Council of Unit Owners shall not be required to make any upgrades or additions to any unit components and such changes are the sole responsibility of the Unit Owner after approval by the Board. 6

(d) Maintenance, repair and replacement responsibilities are outlined in Table 1 attached hereto and such Table is hereby adopted as though fully restated herein. 7

SECTION 4. Use and Alteration of Units.

(a) A unit owner shall not subdivide or make structural modifications or alterations to the interior or exterior of his unit, or replace windows or otherwise make any changes to the exterior appearance of the unit (whether by enclosing, painting or other treatment of any balcony or window trim) without first having notified the Board of Directors in writing through the Manager, if any, or through the Chairman, if no Manager is employed, and having first obtained the written approval thereof by the Board of Directors. The Board shall have the obligation to answer within a sixty (60) day period. Proposals for modifications or alterations shall be accompanied by any materials, plans or specifications which may reasonably be requested by the Board. The time to respond does not commence until the Board receives all requested materials. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require removal and/or restoration of any modification, alteration or treatment in a unit which did not receive prior written Board of Directors approval. In evaluating requests, the Board of Directors will be guided by the basic principle of maintaining the harmony of design and appearance of the condominium and assuring the reserve capacity of common service systems.

(b) In order to maintain uniform appearance, Owners shall ensure that after October 1, 2007, all window coverings installed that are visible to the exterior shall be brown, wood-tone,8 neutral white or off- white color subject to review by the Board of Directors.
