© At the completion of the work, the Joined-Unit Owner shall notify the Trustees in writing that the work has been completed in all respects and that all bills for labor and materials in connection therewith have been paid in full, and such notice shall be accompanied by a written verification of such architect that the work has been completed in all respects and that the performance of such work has not impaired the structural integrity of the building. During such time as the units are physically connected, the Joined-Unit Owner and his successors in title to such units shall have an easement for himself and those lawfully occupying such units, to pass and repass through the common areas and facilities which separated such units from each other prior to the work which is the subject of this section of this Master Deed.

Thereafter, the units which were formerly physically connected may again be sold, conveyed, mortgaged or otherwise transferred or alienated as separate units.

Each present and future unit owner, by accepting delivery of his unit deed, shall be deemed to have expressly assented to the provisions of this Section 21 of this Master Deed. 22. This Master Deed may not be amended so as to change the use of the buildings to other than residences and a residential motel without first complying fully with the Town of Dennis Zoning By-Law and obtaining a permit from the appropriate Town of Dennis permit granting authority if, at the time the use is to be changed, a permit is required. 23.

Common Expenses and Profits (a) Commencing on the date of the recording of the Master Deed, each Unit Owner shall be liable for Common Expenses and shall be entitled to common profits of the Condominium in the same proportion as his beneficial interest in this Trust bears to the aggregate beneficial interest of all the other Unit Owners. The Trustees may at any time or times distribute common profits among the Unit Owners in such proportions. The Trustees shall at all times establish and maintain an adequate reserve fund for the periodic maintenance, repairs and replacement of improvements to the common areas and facilities which the Trust may be obligated to maintain, and such reserve fund shall be funded by regular assessments for Common Expenses, and such fund shall not be deemed to be common profits available for distribution. (b) In addition to the foregoing, (and not in substitution thereof) to ensure that this Trust will have the funds to meet unforeseen expenditures or to purchase any additional equipment or services, there may be a working capital fund at least equal to two (2) months' estimated common charges for each unit. Any amounts paid into this fund shall not be considered as advance payments of regular assessments. Each unit's share of the working capital funds shall be collected at the time the sale of the unit is closed. © The Trustees shall from time to time, and at least annually, prepare a budget for the Condominium, determine the amount of the common charges payable by the unit owners to meet the common expenses of the Condominium, and to allocate and assess such common charges and expenses among the unit owners according to their respective common interest.

The common expenses may also include such amounts as the Trustees may deem proper for the operation and maintenance of the Condominium, including without limitation, an amount for working capital of the Condominium, for a general operating reserve, for a reserve fund for replacements and to make up any deficit in the common expenses for any prior year. The common expenses may also include such amounts as may be require for the purchase or lease by the Trustees or its designee, corporate or otherwise, on behalf of all unit owners, of any unit whose owner has elected to sell or lease such unit or of any unit which is to be sold at a foreclosure or other judicial sale. The Trustees shall advise all unit owners, promptly, in writing, of the amount of common charges and expenses payable by each of them, respectively, as determined by the Trustees, as aforesaid, and shall furnish copies of each budget on which said common charges and expenses are based, to all unit owners and when requested to their mortgagees. (d) All Unit Owners shall be obligated to pay the common charges, special common charges and insurance costs assessed and fines levied by the Trustees pursuant to the provisions of these By-Laws and the Master Deed at such time or times as the Trustees shall determine. No unit owner shall be liable for the payment of any part of the common charges assessed against his unit subsequent to a sale, transfer or other conveyance by him (made in accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws) of such unit. In addition, any Unit Owner may, subject to the terms and conditions specified in these By-Laws, provided that his unit is free and clear of liens and encumbrances other than the statutory lien for unpaid common charges, convey his unit to the Trustees, or its designee, corporate or otherwise, on behalf of all other Unit Owners, and in such event be exept from common charges thereafter assessed. (e) The Trustees shall assess common charges against the unit owners from time to time and at least annually and shall take prompt action to collect any common charge, insurance cost, special common charge or fine due from any Unit Owner which remains unpaid for more than thirty (30) days from the due date for payment thereof. (f) In the event of default by any Unit Owner in paying to the Trustees the common charges as determined by or fines levied by the Trustees, such Unit Owner shall be obligated to pay interest at a rate to be determined by the Trustees, not in excess of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, on such common charges from the due date thereof, together with all expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the Trustees in any proceeding brought to collect such unpaid common charges.

(g) In any action brought by the Trustees to foreclose a lien on a unit because of unpaid common charges, The Trustees, acting on behalf of all Unit Owners, shall have power to purchase such unit at the foreclosure sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, vote the votes appurtenant to, convey or otherwise deal with the same. A suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid common charges shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same. (h) The Trustees shall promptly provide any Unit Owner so requesting the same in writing, with a written statement of all unpaid common charges due from such Unit Owner. The Trustees may make a reasonable charge for any certificates requested from them.

3 Book 6743, Page 161-162-163 3. Insurance (a) The Trustees shall be required to obtain and maintain, to the extent obtainable, the following insurance: (1) fire insurance with the extended coverage insuring the buildings (but not including flooring, carpeting, drapes, wallcovering, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, or other personal property supplied to or installed by Unit Owners), and covering the interests of the Trustees and all Unit Owners and their mortgagees, as their interests may appear, in such amount as shall from time to time be determined by the Trustees, which shall endeavor to maintain such coverage at an amount equal to the full replacement value of the insured property, exclusive of foundations; (2) workmen's compensation insurance; (3) public liability insurance in such amounts and with such coverages as the Trustees shall from time to time determine, but at least covering each Trustee of the Trust, the managing agent, the manger and each Unit Owner (with cross liability endorsement to cover liabilities of the Unit Owners as a group to a Unit Owner); and (4) such other insurance as the Trustees may from time to time in their discretion determine. All such policies shall provide that adjustment of loss shall be made by the Trustees and that the net proceeds thereof shall be payable to the Trustees, as insurance Trustees for the benefit of all Unit Owners and their respective mortgagees, whose interest shall be endorsed upon such policies as appropriate. (b) All policies of casualty or physical damage insurance shall insofar as practicable provide (1) that such policies may not be cancelled, terminated or substantially modified as to the amount of coverage of risks covered without at least twenty (20) days prior written notice to the insured, (2) that, notwithstanding any provisions thereof which give the insurer the right to elect to restore damage in lieu of making a cash settlement, such election may not be exercisable without the approval of the Trustees and may not be exercisable if in conflict with the terms of said Chapter 183A, the Master Deed or these By-Laws. (3) for waiver of subrogation as to any claim (except claims involving arson or fraud) against the Association, the Trustees, the managing agent or managers, or other agents or employees, and the Unit Owners and their respective employees,

agent and guests, (4) for waivers of any defense based upon the conduct of any insured, and (5) in substance and effect that the insurer shall not be entitled to contribution as against any casualty insurance which may be purchased separately by Unit Owners. © Upon written request of any mortgagee of a Unit, a duplicate original or certificate of each policy of physical damage insurance and of all renewals thereof, together with proof of payment or premiums, shall be delivered to such mortgagee at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the then current policy or policies. (d) Unit Owners may carry insurance for their own benefit insuring their flooring, carpeting, wallcoverings, fixtures, furniture, furnishings and other personal property, and their own public liability, provided that all such policies shall contain waivers of subrogation; and further provided that the liability of the carriers issuing insurance obtained by the Trustees shall not be affected or diminished by reason of any such additional insurance carried by any Unit Owner. (e) Upon notification of improvements to be made to a unit, the Trustees shall promptly notify the insurer of the Condominium and increase the amount of coverage on the aforementioned master policy by an amount at least equal to the value of the improvements made by the Unit Owner. Any increase in insurance premiums resulting from the increase in coverage as aforesaid shall be paid by the Unit Owner as an addition to his share of the common expenses of the Condominium. 4. Rebuilding and Restoration (a) In the event of damage to or destruction of the common areas and facilities as a result of fire or other casualty (unless Subsection (f) of this Section is applicable), or, in the event of damage

4

Book 6743, Page 163-64 to or destruction of any unit as a result of fire or other casualty, whether or not the common areas and facilities have been damaged or destroyed (unless Subsection (f) of this Section is applicable), the Trustees shall promptly adjust the loss, arrange for the prompt repair or restoration of the same, and disburse the proceeds of all insurance policies in payment of all costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with such repair or restoration in appropriate progress payments and with appropriate retainage. All insurance proceeds paid to the Trustees as Insurance Trustees, on account of any casualty shall be dedicated first to the repair or restoration of the loss, and any application of said proceeds by the Trustees on account thereof shall be prior to the application of such proceeds for any other purposes. (b) In the event the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to cover the cost of repairs to the common areas and facilities and the units, the proceeds will be first allocated to the cost of repairs to the common areas and facilities and the balance, if any, to the cost of repairs to the

Page 36: New Master Deed - beachfrontcondo.org · 06/10/2013  · period ending three (3) years next after the date on which this Master Deed is recorded, the easement, license, right and

units in proportion to the cost of all repairs to the respective units as determined by the insurer or by independent appraisal. To the extent the proceeds allocated as aforesaid are insufficient to cover the cost of repairs to the common areas and facilities, the balance of the cost of such repairs will be assessed against all Unit Owners as a Common Expense. To the extent the proceeds allocated as aforesaid are insufficient to cover the cost of repairs to the units, the balance of the cost of such repairs to each unit will be assessed against all Unit Owners as a Common Expense. © Whenever the estimated cost of repair or restoration exceeds, as to any one casualty or occurrence, on the basis of any independent appraisal, the sum of twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars, then the Trustees shall retain a registered architect or registered engineer, who shall not be directly or indirectly, a Unit Owner or an employee or agent of any Unit Owner, or a Trustee or an employee or agent of any of the Trustees, or the manger, if any, or any employee or agent of such manager, to supervise the work of repair or restoration and no sums shall be paid by the Trustees on account of such repair or restoration except upon certification to them by such architect or engineer that the work for which payment is being made has been completed in a good and workmanlike in accordance with approved plans and specifications and that the estimated total cost of completion of said repair or restoration, less amounts theretofore advanced, does not exceed the undisbursed proceeds of insurance as augmented by funds obtained by any assessment or assessments levied or chargeable to the Unit Owners as a Common Expense.

(d) The Trustees may perform emergency work essential to the preservation and safety of the Condominium, including all parts of the buildings and the common areas and facilities and the units, or the safety of persons, or required to avoid the suspension of any essential service to the Condominium, including all parts of the buildings and the common areas and facilities and the units, without having first engaged an architect or engineer, adjusted the loss or obtained proceeds of insurance.

(e) Subject always to the prior rights of the Unit Mortgagees, if there shall have been a

repair or restoration pursuant to the foregoing and the amount of insurance proceeds shall have exceeded the cost of such repair or restoration, then the excess of such insurance proceeds, if any, shall be added to the Condominium's reserve fund, or, at the option of the Trustees, divided among all the Unit Owners in proportion to their respective interests in the common areas and facilities.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of fire or other casualty, the loss exceeds

ten (10%) percent of the value of the Condominium, including all parts of the buildings and the common areas and facilities and the units prior to the casualty, and: (1) if seventy-five (75%) percent of the Unit Owners do not agree within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the casualty to proceed with repair or restoration, the Condominium, including all units, shall be subject to partition at the suit of any Unit Owner. Such suit shall be subject to dismissal at any time prior to entry of an order to sell if an appropriate agreement to rebuild is filed. Subject always to the prior rights of the Unit Mortgagees, the net

Book 6743, Page 165-166 proceeds of the partition sale together with any common funds shall be divided in proportion to the Unit Owners' respective undivided ownership in the common areas and facilities. Upon such sale, the Condominium shall be deemed removed from the provisions of Chapter 183A of the Massachusetts General Laws; (2) if seventy-five (75%) percent of the Unit Owners agree to proceed with the necessary repair or restoration, the cost of rebuilding of the Condominium, in excess of any available funds, including the proceeds of any insurance, shall be a Common Expense, provided, however, that if such excess cost exceeds ten (10%) percent of the value of the Condominium including all parts of the buildings and the common areas and facilities and the units, prior to the casualty, any Unit Owner who did not so agree may apply to the Superior Court of Barnstable County on such notice to the Trustees and Unit Owners as the Court shall direct, for the order directing the purchase of his unit by the Trustees at the fair market value thereof as approved by the Court. The cost of any such purchase shall be a Common Expense. 5. Condemnation If more than ten (10%) percent of the Condominium is taken under the power of eminent domain, the taking shall be treated as a "casualty loss", and the provisions of Secti0on 17 of Chapter 183A of Massachusetts General Laws shall apply. Where one or more units have been substantially altered or rendered unusable as a result of a partial taking, and the unit owners vote to restore and continue the Condominium to the provisions of Section 17 of said Chapter 183A, the Trustees shall have the authority to acquire the remaining portions of such units, for such price as the Trustees shall determine, provided that any unit owner of such remaining portion who does not agree with such determination may apply to the Superior Court, Department of the Trial Court in Barnstable County on such notice to the Trustees ads the Court shall direct, for an order directing the purchase of such remaining portion at the fair market value thereof as approved by the Court. In the event of a total or partial taking under the powers of eminent domain, the unit owners shall be represented by the Condominium acting through the Trustees. In the event of a partial taking, the award shall be allocated to the respective unit owners according to their undivided interest in the common areas and facilities, except as to such portion or portions of the award which are attributable to direct or consequential damages suffered by particular units, which shall be payable to the owners of such units or their mortgagees, as their interests may appear. In the case of a total taking of all units and the common areas and facilities, the entire award shall be payable to the Trustees to be distributed to the unit owners in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the common areas and facilities. 6. Improvements by Trustees Whenever any addition, alterations or improvements to the common areas and facilities shall be required by law, the Trustees shall make and pay for the same as a common expense. If and whenever the Trustees shall propose to make any other improvement to (as opposed to maintenance, repair and replacement of ) the common areas and facilities of the Condominium or

Page 38: New Master Deed - beachfrontcondo.org · 06/10/2013  · period ending three (3) years next after the date on which this Master Deed is recorded, the easement, license, right and

shall be requested in writing by five or more of the unit owners to make any such improvement, the Trustees shall submit the same to the unit owners. (a) If fifty (50%) percent or more but less than seventy-five (75%) percent in interest of the Unit Owners agree to make an improvement to the common areas and facilities, the cost of such improvement shall be borne solely by the owners so agreeing. (b) Seventy-five (75%) percent or more in interest of the unit owners may agree to make an improvement to the common areas and facilities and assess the cost thereof of all unit owners as a common expense, but if such improvement shall cost in excess of ten (10%) percent of the then value of the condominium, any unit owner not so agreeing may apply to the Superior Court Department of the

6 Book 6743, Page 166-67-68 Trial Court in Barnstable County, on such notice to the Trustees as the Court shall direct, for an order directing the purchase of his unit by the Trustees at fair market value thereof as approved by the Court. The cost of any such purchase shall be a common expense. © 1. No unit owner shall make any interior or exterior structural addition, alteration or improvements in or to his unit, without the prior written consent thereto of the Trustees, nor any other addition, alteration or improvement in or to his unit without prior written notice to the Trustees of any and all work to be done by him to his unit, the value of which exceeds on thousand ($1000.00) dollars. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the nature of the improvement and the value thereof. Each unit owner, upon request by the Trustees shall also submit to the Trustees such further information relating to said improvement as the Trustees shall reasonable require. 2. The Trustees shall have the obligation to answer any written request by a unit owner for approval of a proposed structural addition, alteration or improvement in or to such unit owner's unit, within twenty (20) days after such request, and failure to do so within the stipulated time shall constitute a consent by the Trustees to the proposed addition, alteration or improvement. Any application to any department of the Town of Dennis or to any other governmental authority for a permit to make an addition, alteration or improvement in or to any unit may be made by the Trustees or the unit owner without, however, incurring any liability on the part of the Trustees or any of them to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman on account of such addition, alteration or improvement, or to any person having any claim for injury or damage to property arising therefrom. 7. Rules and Regulations (a) The Trustees may adopt Rules and Regulations governing the details of the operation and use of the common areas and facilities, and containing such restrictions on, and requirements,

© Any Trustee or Unit Owner may, at any time, waive notice of any meeting in writing and such waiver shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance by a Trustee or Unit Owner without objection to lack of notice at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice by such Trustee or Unit Owner of notice of such meeting. If all of the Trustees are present at any meeting of the Trustees, or if all of the Unit Owners are present at any meeting of the Unit Owners, respectively, no notice shall be required and any business may be transacted at such meeting of the Trustees, or Unit Owners, respectively.
