charged first against such reserve. If said annual budget proves inadequate for any reason,

budget or adjusted budget, the Owners shall continue to pay the monthly assessment charges at

for working capital. Such an advance payment shall not relieve an Owner from making the

any unused portion thereof. Such reserves shall, at all times, remain as capital of the

costs, shall be added to the assessment lien amount. All anlOunts unpaid may be evidenced by a
statement executed by the Association and recorded in the Office of the Clerk and Recorded of
Pitkin County, Colorado. The assessment lien shall be a continuing lien upon the Townhome
Condominium Unit against which any assessment is made. The assessment lien is prior to all
other liens ands encumbrances on a Townhome Condominium Unit except: (I) liens and
encumbrances recorded before the recordation of the Declaration; (2) the lien of a First
Mortgagee on the Townhome Condominium Unit recorded before the date on which the
assessment sought to be enforced became delinquent; and (3) liens for real estate taxes and other
governmental assessments or charges against the Condominium Unit.

amount equal to the assessment based on the periodic budget adopted by the Association which
would have become due, in the absence of any acceleration during the six months immediately
preceding institution, by either the Association or any party holding a lien senior to the
assessment lien, of an action or a non-judicial foreclosure either to enforce or to extinguish the
lien, In no event shall the priority afforded by this Subsection to such lien for assessments exceed
one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the average monthly assessment during the immediately
preceding fiscal year, multiplied by six. This Article does not prohibit an action to recover sums

lieu of foreclosure, or cancellation or forfeiture shall only extinguish the Association's lien to the
extent required by the Act. No such sale, transfer, foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu thereof

prejudice to such party's right to recover any of such amounts paid from the former Owner.

judgment by the Association without foreclosing or waiving any lien securing the same. Subject
to Section 11.17 above, a First Mortgagee of a Townhome Condominium Unit shall not be liable
for any such assessment, charge, fine or penalty and the lien for any such assessments, charges,
fines or penalties shall be junior to the lien of a First Mortgagee on a Townhome Condominium

the office of the County Clerk and Recorder of Pitkin County, Colorado, prior to the time a
notice oflien for failure to pay any such amount is recorded in such office by the Association.

of that fact to be hand delivered or sent prepaid by United States mail to all Townhome
Condominium Unit Owners,
17.4 Specific Provisions. Insurance policies carried pursuant to Sections 17.1 and 17.2 must

with respect to liability arising out of such Townhome Condominium Unit Owner's interest in
the Common Elements or membership in the Association; the insurer waives its rights to
subrogation under the policy against any Townhome Condominium Unit Owner or member of
such Owner's household; no act or omission by any Townhome Condominium Unit Owner,
unless acting within the scope of such Unit Owner's authority on behalf of the Association, will
void the policy or be a condition to recovery under the policy; and if, at the time of a loss under
the policy, there is other insurance in the name of a Townhome Condominium Unit Owner
covering the same risk covered by the policy, the Association's policy provides primary
insurance.

Section 17.1(a) and Section 17.2 must be adjusted with the Association, but the insurance
proceeds for that loss shall be payable to any insurance trustee designated for that purpose, or

Condominium Unit Owners and lienholders as their interests may appear. Subject to the
provisions of Section 17.8, the proceeds must be disbursed first for the repair or restoration of the

procedures relating to the submittal of claims, responsibility for deductibles, and any
other matters of claims adjustment. To the extent the Association settles claims for
damages to real property, it shall have the authority to assess negligent Townhome
Condominium Unit Owners causing such loss or benefitting from such repair or
restoration all deductibles paid by the Association. In the event that more than one
Townhome Condominium Unit is damaged be a loss, the Association in its reasonable
discretion may assess each Townhome Condominium Unit Owner a pro-rata share of any
deductible paid by the Association.

not obviate the need for Townhome Condominium Unit Owners to obtain insurance for their
own benefit.

described in Sections 17.1 and 17.2 of this Article shall issue certificates or memoranda of
