"Commencement of Assessments" and "Assessments On Condominiums Not Conveyed to Retail Buyers,"
hereby covenants, and each Owner of a Condominium by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it
shall be so expressed in such Deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association all
assessments levied pursuant to the provisions of this Declaration. All assessments, together with interest,
costs, late charges and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a charge on and a continuing lien upon the
Condominium against which each such assessment is made, the lien to become effective upon recordation

44 74-4480 OREGON STREET


DECLARATION - 21 - A Dec_4474-BO_OregonSt.doc
of a Notice of Delinquent Assessment, as provided in this Article. Each such assessment. together with
interest, costs, late charges and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the
Person who was the Owner of such Condominium at the time when the assessment fell due and shall bind
his or her heirs, devisees, personal representatives and assigns. Unlike the lien for delinquent assessments,
the personal obligation for non-delinquent assessments shall not pass to successive Owners, unless
expressly assumed by each such successive Owner. No such assumption of personal liability by a
successive Owner (including a contract purchaser under an installment land contract) shall relieve any
Owner from personal liability for delinquent assessments. If more than one person or entity was the Owner
of a Condominium, the personal obligation to pay such assessment or installment respecting such
Condominium shall be both joint and several.

12.2. FUNDS HELD IN TRUST.


The assessments collected by the Association shall be held by the Association for and on
behalf of each Owner and shall be used solely for the operation, care and maintenance of the Project as
provided in this Declaration. Upon the sale or transfer of a Condominium, the Owner's interest in the funds
shall be deemed automatically transferred to the successor in interest of such Owner.

12.3. PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENTS.


The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the
recreation, health, safety and welfare of all the residents in the Project and for the improvement and
maintenance of the Common Area and for any other maintenance responsibilities of the Association, and to
reimburse the Association for costs incurred in bringing an Owner into compliance with the Project
Documents. The Association shall not use any assessments or Association funds, or otherwise participate,
in any attempt to abate any annoyance or nuisance emanating from outside the physical boundaries of the
Project, or in support of federal, state or local political activities intended to influence governmental action
affecting areas outside of the boundaries of the Project (e.g. endorsement or support of political candidates,
legislative or administrative actions by any governmental agency, or ballot proposals).

12.4. REGULAR ASSESSMENTS.

12.4.1. PAYMENT OF REGULAR ASSESSMENTS.


Regular Assessments for each, iscal year of the Association shall be

Regardless of the number of Members or the amount of assets of the
Association, each year the Board shall prepare, approve and make available to each Member a Budget as
described in the Bylaws. Increases in Regular Assessments shall be subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 11.16 below. For the first fiscal year, the Budget upon which Regular Assessments shall be based

which Regular Assessments are scheduled to commence. Thereafter, the Board shall annually prepare and
approve the Budget and distribute a copy thereof to each Member (or a summary thereof as provided in the
Bylaws), together with written notice of the amount of the Regular Assessment to be levied against the
Owner's Condominium, not less than forty-five (45) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the beginning

budget and otherwise conduct the business of the Association in such manner consistent with federal and
state requirements to qualify for such status.

12.6. NON~WAIVER OF ASSESSMENTS.


If before the expiration of any fiscal year the Association fails to fix Regular Assessments for
the next fiscal year, the Regular Assessment established for the preceding year shall continue until a new
Regular Assessment is fixed.

12.7. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.


If the Board determines that the estimated total amount of funds necessary to defray the
Common Expenses of the Association for a given fiscal year is or will become inadequate to meet expenses
for any reason, including, but not limited to, unanticipated delinquencies. costs of construction, unexpected
repairs, replacement of or new capital improvements on, damage and destruction or condemnation of the
Common Area, the Board shall determine the approximate amount necessary to defray such expenses and,
·if the amount is approved by a majority vote of the Board and does not exceed five percent (5%) of the
budgeted gross expenses of the Association, it shall become a Special Assessment; provided, however that
such limitation shall not apply to Special Assessments levied by the Board to replenish the Association's
reserve account as provided in the Bylaws Section entitled "USE OF RESERVE FUNDS." Except for a
Special Assessment levied pursuant to the Bylaws Section entitled "USE OF RESERVE FUNDS," any
Special Assessment in excess of five percent (5%) of the budgeted gross expenses of the Association shall
be subject to the limitation set forth in the Section below entitled "Limitations on Assessments." The
Board may, in its discretion. prorate such Special Assessment over the remaining months of the fiscal year
or levy the assessment immediately against each Condominium. Unless exempt from federal or state
income taxation, all proceeds form any Special Assessment shall be segregated and deposited into a
Financial Account and shall be used solely for the purpose or purposes of which it was levied or it shall be
otherwise handled and used in a manner authorized by law or regulations of the Internal Revenue Service or
the California Franchise Tax Board in order to avoid, if possible, its taxation as income of the Association.

12.8. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT


In addition to any other assessments provided for hereunder, the Association may levy a
Capital Improvement Assessment for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any
construction or replacement of a capital improvement in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws
Section entitled "Capital Improvements." Capital Improvement Assessments shall be due and payable by all
Owners in such installments and during such period or periods as the Board shall designate. Increase in
Capital Improvement Assessments shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the Section below entitled
"Limitations on Assessments."

12.9. SINGLE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT.


(a) The Board may establish a Single Benefit Assessment for reconstruction, capital
improvements, extraordinary maintenance, or any other cost or expense not otherwise provided for in this
Declaration which will benefit less than all of the Owners, and which will be assessed only against the
Condominiums of those Owners so benefiting.
(b) Except as provided in the paragraph immediately below, such Single Benefit
Assessments may be imposed only by a vote of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Owners of the
Condominiums benefited by the Single Benefit Assessment.
(c) Whenever the Association performs any service or accomplishes any item of repair
or maintenance which is the duty of an Owner to accomplish, but which has not been accomplished by such
Owner, or whenever the Association determines to preempt the performance of a specific Owner of a given
act of maintenance or repair. the Association shall specifically charge the cost thereof, together with any
financing costs and administrative costs incurred by the Association, to the Owner for whom such work was
done. and shall include such additional cost as a Single Benefit Assessment for such Owner(s).

44 74-4480 OREGON STREET


DECLARATION - 23- 'Dec_4474·8D_OregonSt.doc
(d) Each Single Benefit Assessment shall be segregated in the Financial Accounts
solely to the Condominiums which derive the benefit therefrom. In the event that the Association obtains
income directly related to an item which has been assessed as a Single Benefit Assessment, such income
· shall be allocated so as to reduce or offset such Single Benefit Assessment.

12.10. ENFORCEMENT ASSESSMENTS.


The Association may levy an Enforcement Assessment against any Owner who causes
damage to the Common Area or for bringing an Owner or his or her Condominium into compliance with the
provisions of the Project Documents or any other charge designated an Enforcement Assessment in the
Project Documents, together with attorneys' fees, interest and other charges related thereto as provided in
this Declaration. The Board shall have the authority to adopt a reasonable schedule of Enforcement
Assessments for any violation of the Project Documents. If, after Notice and Hearing as required by this
. Declaration and which satisfies Section 7341 of the California Corporations Code, the Owner fails to cure or
continues such violation, the Association may impose an additional fine each time the violation is repeated,
and may assess such Owner and enforce the Enforcement Assessment as herein provided for nonpayment
of an assessment. A hearing committee may be established by the Board to administer the foregoing.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Declaration to the contrary, Enforcement Assessments are
assessments, but they may not become a lien against the Owner's Condominium that is enforceable by a
power of sale under Civil Code Sections 2924, 2924b and 2924c or any successor statute or laws. This
restriction on enforcement is not applicable to late payment penalties for delinquent assessments or charges
imposed to reimburse the Association for loss of interest or for collection costs. including reasonable
attorneys' fees, for delinquent assessments.

12.11. UNIFORM RATE OF ASSESSMENT.


Regular Assessments, Special Assessments and Capital Improvement Assessments shall
be levied at a uniform rate for all Condominiums and may be collected on a monthly basis, or otherwise, as
determined by the Board. Enforcement Assessments and Single Benefit Assessments shall be levied
directly to the individual Condominiums and/or their respective Owners, depending upon whether the
assessment may become a lien against the Condominium, as provided in this Declaration.

12.12. EXCESSIVE ASSESSMENTS OR FEES.


The Board may not impose or collect an assessment or fee that exceeds the amount
necessary to defray the costs for which it is levied.

12.13. COMMENCEMENT OF ASSESSMENTS; DUE DATES.

amount of the Regular Assessment for each fiscal year after the first fiscal year shall be distributed to each
Owner not less than forty-five (45) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year,
together with a copy of the approved Budget for that fiscal year, as more fully described in Section 11.4.2
entitled "BUDGETING." The foregoing notwithstanding, the failure of the Board to comply with the foregoing
notice provisions shall not affect the validity of any assessment levied by the Board.
The due dates for the payment of assessments shall normally be established as monthly
installments due on the first day of each month unless some other due date and/or payment schedule is
established by the Board.

44 74-4480 OREGON STREET


DECLARATION - 24- • Dec_4474-BO_OregonSt.doc
12.15. FAILURE TO FIX ASSESSMENTS.
The omission by the Board to fix the assessments hereunder before the expiration of any
fiscal year, for that or the next year, shall not be deemed either a waiver or modification in any respect of the
provisions of this Declaration or a release of the Owner from the obligation to pay the assessments or any
installment thereof for that or any subsequent year, but the assessment fixed for the preceding year shall
continue until a new assessment is fixed.

12.16. LIMITATIONS ON ASSESSMENTS.


(a) The Board of Directors of the Association shall not impose or collect an assessment,
· penalty, or fee that exceeds the amount necessary for the purpose or purposes for which it is levied. Annual

which in the aggregate exceed five percent (5%) of the budgeted gross expenses of the Association
for that fiscal year without the approval of Owners constituting a quorum casting a majority of the votes at a
meeting or election of the Association conducted in accordance with Chapter 5 (commencing with Section
7510) of Part 3 of Division 2 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code and Section 7613 of the Corporations Code.

(c) Any increases authorized under this Section shall not be imposed unless the Board
has complied with the budgetary requirements set forth in the Bylaws with respect to the fiscal year for which
an assessment is levied. For the purpose of calculating whether an increase to Regular Assessments
exceeds twenty percent (20%), the term "Regular Assessments" shall be deemed to include the amount
assessed against each Condominium by the Association as a Regular Assessment plus any amount paid by
Declarant as a subsidy pursuant to any subsidy agreements, to the extent such subsidy payments offset any

appropriate. Nothing in this Section shall require the Board either to abate or reduce the Regular
Assessments, The foregoing notwithstanding, neither an abatement nor a reduction in Regular Assessments

NOTICE
ASSESSMENTS AND FORECLOSURE

This notice outlines some of the rights and responsibilities of owners of property
in common interest developments and the associations that manage them.
Please refer to the sections of the Civil Code indicated for further information. A
portion of the information in this notice applies only to liens recorded on or after
January 1, 2003. You may wish to consult a lawyer if you dispute an
assessment.

ASSESSMENTS AND NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE


The failure to pay association assessments may result in the loss of an owner's
property without court action, often referred to as nonjudicial foreclosure. When
using nonjudicial foreclosure, the association records a lien on the owner's
property. The owner's property may be sold to satisfy the lien if the lien is not
paid. Assessments become delinquent 15 days after they are due, unless the
governing documents of the association provide for a longer time. (CIVIL CODE
§§1366and 1367.1)

In a nonjudicial foreclosure, the association may recover assessments,


reasonable costs of collection, reasonable attorney's fees, late charges, and
interest. The association may not use nonjudicial foreclosure to collect fines or
penalties, except for costs to repair common areas damaged by a member or a
member's guests, if the governing documents provide for this. (CIVIL CODE
§§1366 and 1367.1)
The association must comply with the requirements of Section 1367.1 of the Civil
Code when collecting delinquent assessments. lf the association fails to follow
these requirements, it may not record a lien on the owner's property until it has
satisfied those requirements. Any additional costs that result from satisfying the
requirements are the responsibility of the association. (CIVIL CODE § 1367.1)

At least 30 days prior to recording a lien on an owne;'s sepa;ate interest, the


association must provide the owner of record with certain documents by certified
mail. Among these documents, the association must send a description of its
collection and lien enforcement procedures and the method of calculating the
amount. It must also provide an itemized statement of the charges owed by the
owner. An owner has a right to review the association's records to verify the
debt. (CIVIL CODE § 1367.1)

4474-4480 OREGON STREET


DECLARATION -27- 'Dec_4474-BO_OregonSt.doc
If a lien is recorded against an Owner's property in error, the person who
recorded the lien is required to record a
lien release within 21 days, and to
provide an owner certain documents in this regard. (CIVIL CODE § 1367.1)
The collection practices of the Association may be governed by state and federal
laws regarding fair debt collection. Penalties can be imposed for debt collection
practices that violate these laws.

PAYMENTS
When an owner makes a payment, he or she may request a receipt, and the
association is required to provide it. On the receipt, the association must indicate
the date of payment and the person who received it. The association must
inform owners of a mailing address for overnight payments. (CIVIL CODE
§§1367.1 and 1367.1)
An owner may dispute an assessment debt by giving the board of the association
a written explanation, and the board must respond within 15 days if certain
conditions are met. An owner may pay assessments that are in dispute in full
under protest, and then request alternative dispute resolution. (CIVIL CODE
§§1366.3 and 1367.1)
An owner is not liable for charges, interest, and costs of collection, if it is
established that the assessment was paid properly on time. (CIVIL CODE
§§1367.1)

MEETINGS AND PAYMENT PLANS


An owner of a separate interest that is not a time~share may request the
association to consider a payment plan to satisfy a delinquent assessment. The
association must inform owners of the standards for payment plans, if any exist.
(CIVIL CODE §§1367.1)

The board of the directors must meet with an owner who makes a proper written
request for a meeting to discuss a payment plan when the owner has received a
notice of a delinquent assessment. These payment plans must conform with the
payment plan standards of the association, if they exist. (CIVIL CODE §§1367.1)

12.22.2. MONETARY PENALTIES AND FEES.


If the Association adopts or has adopted a policy imposing any monetary
penalty, including any fee, on any Member for a violation of the Project Documents, including any monetary
penalty relating to the activities of an Invitee, the Board shall adopt and distribute to each Member. by
personal delivery or first~class mail, a schedule of the monetary penalties that may be assessed for those
violations, which shall be in accordance with authorization for Member discipline contained in Section 9.5.1
above entitled "ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS." and Section 10.4 above entitled "NOTICE AND HEARING.";
provided, however, no such monetary penalty may be characterized or treated as an assessment which may
become a lien against the Owner's subdivision interest enforceable by a sale of the interest in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 2024, 2024(b) and 2024(c) of the California Civil Code. The Board, however.
shall not be required to distribute any additional schedules of monetary penalties unless there are changes
from the schedule that was previously adopted and distributed to the Members.

12.23.1. RIGHT TO ENFORCE ASSESSMENTS.


The right to collect and enforce assessments is vested in the Board acting
for and on behalf of the Association. The Board or its authorized representative, can enforce the obligations

comply with the Project Documents, or (c) as a disciplinary measure in bringing the Member and his or her
Condominium into compliance with the governing instruments of the Association, may not be characterized
nor treated as an assessment which may become a lien against the Member's Condominium enforceable by
a sale thereof conducted in accordance with the provisions of Civil Code Sections 2924, 2924(b), 2924(c)
and 1367, or any successor statute or law. The limitation in the preceding sentence however, does not apply
to any additional charges.

assessments which are made against all Condominiums.

an amount equal to said taxes, to be paid in two (2) installments, thirty {30) days prior to the due date of each
tax installment, or as otherwise may be established by the Board.

deposited all monies paid to the Association and from which disbursements shall be made, as provided
herein, in the performance of functions by the Association under this Declaration and the Bylaws. The

Documents, the Association may bring an action in its own name and/or in the name of the Owner to have
