forming the boundaries of such Owner's Unit and the surfaces of all walls, ceilings, floors, and
doors within such boundaries. Each Owner shall also have the right, to construct partition walls,
fixtures, and improvements within the boundaries of such Owner's Unit; provided however, that
such partition walls, fixtures and improvements (a) shall comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, and building codes, (b) shall not interfere with facilities necessary for the support, use,
or enjoyment of any other part of the Project or any other Unit, if a shared facility, (c) shall not
impair the structural soundness or integrity of the Building in which it is located, and (d) shall not

including without limitation, interior walls, windows, ceilings, floors, and permanent fixtures and
appurtenances thereto, in a clean and sanitary condition and in a state of good repair. In the event

and in the event that the Owner of such Unit shall fail to correct such condition or state of
disrepair promptly following written notice from the Board of Directors, the Board in behalf of the
Association shall have the right, at the expense of the Owner and without liability to the Owner for
trespass or otherwise, to enter said Unit and correct or eliminate said unsanitary or unclean

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, two or more Units may be utilized by the Owner or
Owners thereof as if they were one Unit. To the extent permitted in the written consent of the
Association, any walls, floors, or other structural separations between any two such Units, or any
space which would be occupied by such structural separations but for the utilization of the two
Units as one Unit, may, for as long as the two Units are utilized as one Unit, be utilized by the
0
Owner or Owners of the adjoining Units, except to the extent that any such structural separations
are necessary or contain facilities necessary for the support, use, or enjoyment of other parts of the
Project. At any time, upon the request of the Owner of one of such adjoining Units, any opening
between the two units which, but for joint utilization of the two Units, would have been occupied
by structural separation, shall be closed, at the equal expense of the Owner or Owners of each of
the two Units and the structural separations between the two Units shall thereupon become the
common areas.
4.4 Title. Title to a Condominium within the Project may be held or owned by any person
or entity, or any combination thereof, and in any manner in which title to any other real property

each Unit as shown in said Exhibit C shall have a permanent character and shall not be altered (a)
except with the unanimous written consent of all Owners expressed in an amendment to this
Declaration duty recorded, or (b) except to the extent necessary to allow for the expansion of the
project as provided in Article 16 of this Declaration and the Condominium Act. Except as
otherwise provided in this Declaration, any Owner shall be entitled to nonexclusive use of the
Common Areas in any manner that does not hinder or encroach upon the rights of other Owners
and is not contrary to any rules and regulations promulgated by the Association.
4.6 Inseparability. Title to no part of a Condominium within the Project may be separated
from any other part thereof, and each Unit and the undivided interest in the Common Areas
appurtenant to each Unit shall always be conveyed, devised, encumbered, and otherwise affected
only as a complete Condominium. Every devise, encumbrance, conveyance, or other disposition
of a Condominium, or any part thereof, shall be construed to be a devise, encumbrance,
conveyance, or other disposition, respectively, of the entire Condominium, together with all
appurtenant rights created by law or by this Declaration, including appurtenant rights created by
law or by this Declaration, including appurtenant membership in the Association as hereinafter set
forth.
4.7 No Partition. The Common Areas shall be owned in common by all of the Owners, and
no Owner may bring any action for the partition thereof.
4.8 Separate Mortgages by Owners. Each Owner shall have the right separately to
mortgage or otherwise encumber such Owner's Condominium. No Owner shall attempt to or shall
have the right to mortgage or otherwise encumber the Cormnon Areas or any part thereof, except
the undivided interest therein appurtenant to such Owner's Condominium. Any mortgage or other
encumbrance of any Condominium within the Project shall be subordinate to all of the provisions
of this Declaration, and in the event of foreclosure the provisions of this Declaration shall be
binding upon any Owner whose title is derived through foreclosure by private power of sale,
judicial foreclosure, or otherwise.
4.9 Separate Taxation. Each Condominium within the Project including each Unit and
appurtenant undivided interest in the Common Areas, shall be deemed to be a parcel and shall be
assessed separately for all taxes, assessments, and other charges of the State of Idaho or of any
political subdivision or of any special improvement district or of any other taxing or assessing
authority. For purposes of such assessment, the valuation of the Common Areas shall be
apportioned among the Units in proportion to the undivided interests in Common Areas
appurtenant to such Units. All such taxes, assessments, and other charges on each respective
Condominium shall be separately levied against the Owner thereof. No forfeiture or sale of any
Condominium for delinquent taxes, assessments, or other governmental charges shall divest or in
any way affect the title to any other Condominium.
4.10 Mechanics' Liens. No labor performed or material famished for use in connection
with any Unit with the consent or at the request of an Owner or his agent or subcontractor shall
create any right to file a statement of mechanic's lien against the Unit of any other Owner not
expressly consenting to or requesting the same or against any interest in the Common Areas,
except the undivided interest therein appurtenant to the Unit of the Owner for whom such labor
shall have been performed and such materials shall have been furnished.
4.11 Description of Condominium. Every contract for the sale of a Condominium and
every other instrument affecting title to a Condominium within the Project may describe a Unit by
its identifying letter or symbol as indicated in this Declaration or as shown on the Map. Such
description will be construed to describe the Unit, together with its appurtenant undivided interest
in the Common Areas, and to incorporate all of the rights incident to ownership of a
Condominium within the Project and all of the limitations on such ownership.
ARTICLE 5. EASEMENTS

hereafter encroach upon any Unit, an easement for such encroachment and for the maintenance of
the same shall and does exist. If any part of a Unit encroaches or shalt hereafter encroach upon the
Common Areas, or upon an adjoining Unit, an easement for such encroachment and for the
maintenance of the same shall and does exist. If any part of the Common Areas or any part of a
Unit shall hereafter encroach on real property now owned by the Declarant outside the boundaries

referred to herein include, but are not limited to, encroachments caused by error in the original
construction of the Building or any Improvements constructed or to be constructed within the

any person utilizing said easement, the Declarant and the person causing the damage shall be
liable to the Association for the prompt repair of such damage. The Declarant may maintain small
and compatible facilities in the Common Areas reasonably necessary to market Units, including
but not limited to sales and management offices, parking areas and advertising signs.

ARTICLE 9. ASSESSMENTS
9.1 Agreement to Pay Assessments. The Declarant, for each Condominium owned by it
within the Project, and for and as the owner of the Project and every part thereof, hereby
covenants and each Owner of any Condominium by the acceptance of instruments of conveyance
and transfer therefor, whether or not it be so expressed in said instruments, shall be deemed to
covenant and agree with each other and with the Association to pay to the Association all
Assessments (annual, special and otherwise) made by the Association for the purposes provided in
this Declaration. Such Assessments shall be fixed, established, and collected from time to time as
provided in this Article 9.
9.2 Annual Assessments. Annual Assessments shall be computed and assessed against all
Condominiums in the Project as follows:
(a) Common Expense. Annual Assessments shall be based upon advance estimates
of the Association's cash requirements to provide for payment of all estimated expenses
arising out of or connected with maintenance and operation of the Common Areas and/or
furnishing utility services and other common items to the Units. Such estimated expenses may
include, among other things, the following: Expenses of management; real property taxes and
special assessments (unless and until the Condominiums are separately assessed); premiums
for all insurance that the Association is required or permitted to maintain hereunder; repairs
and maintenance; wages for Association employees, including fees for a Manager (if any);
utility charges, including charges for utility services to the Units to the extent not separately
metered or billed; legal and accounting fees; any deficit remaining from a previous period;
creation of an adequate contingency reserve, major maintenance reserve, and/or sinking fund;
creation of an adequate reserve fund for maintenance repairs, and replacement of those
Common Areas and Facilities that must be replaced on a periodic basis, and such reserve shall
preferably be funded by monthly payments but if necessary extraordinary special assessments
may be made; and any other expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the
Association for the benefit of the Owners under or by reason of this Declaration. Such shall
constitute the Common Expense, and all funds received from assessments under this Section
9.2(a) shall be part of the Common Expense Fund. A working capital fund must be
established for the initial months of the Project operations equal to at least a two months'
estimated common area charge for each Unit.
(b) Aoaortionment Expenses attributable to the Common Expense or to the Project
as a whole shall be apportioned among and assessed to the Owners in proportion to their
respective undivided interests in the Cormnon Areas. The Declarant shall be liable for the
amount of any assessments against the Condominiums owned by it.
(c) Annual Budget. Annual Assessments shall be determined on the basis of a fiscal
year beginning January 1 of each year and ending the December 31 next following; provided
the first fiscal year shall begin on the date of this Declaration and end on the December 31
next following. On or before December 15 of each year, the Board of Directors shall prepare
and furnish to each Owner, or cause to be prepared and famished to each Owner, an operating
budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The budget shall itemize the estimated expenses of
Common Expense for such fiscal year, anticipated receipts (if any), and any deficit or surplus
from the prior operating period. The budget shall serve as the supporting document for the
Annual Assessment for the upcoming fiscal year and as the major guideline under which the
Project shall be operated during such annual period. Such budgets shall be unnecessary for
Annual Assessments relative to, or for operation of the Project during, any operating period
ending before January 1, 2004.
11
(d) Notice and Payment. Except with respect to the first fiscal year, the Board of
Directors shall notify each Owner as to the amount of the Annual Assessment against such
Owner's Condominium on or before December 15 each year for the fiscal year beginning on
January 1 next following. Each Annual Assessment shall be payable in twelve equal monthly
installments, one such installment due on the first day of each calendar month during the
fiscal year to which the assessment relates unless the Board of Directors shall determine some
other payment schedule; provided, however, the Annual Assessment for the first fiscal year
shall be based upon such portion of the fust fiscal year and shall be payable in such
installments and at such times as the Association, in the sole discretion of its Board of
Directors, may determine. All unpaid installments of any Annual Assessment shall bear
interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date each such installment
becomes due until paid. In addition, in the event that any installment of any Annual
Assessment is not paid on the date such installment becomes, due, it shall be subject to a
penalty for late payment of three dollars ($3.00) per day from the date each such installment
becomes due until paid. The failure of the Board of Directors to give timely notice of any
Annual Assessment as provided herein shall not be deemed a waiver or modification in any
respect of the provisions of this Declaration, or a release of any Owner from the obligation to
pay such assessment or any other assessment; but the date when the payment shall become
due in such case shall be deferred to a date fifteen (15) days after notice of such assessment
shall have been given to the Owner in the manner provided in this Declaration.
(e) Inadeouate Funds. In the event that the Common Expense Fund proves
inadequate at any time for whatever reason, including nonpayment of any Owner's
assessment, the Board of Directors may on behalf of the Association levy additional
assessments in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 9.3 below, except that the
vote therein specified shall be unnecessary.
9.3 Special Assessments. In addition to the Annual Assessments authorized by this Article
9, the Board of Directors may, on behalf of the Association, levy, at any time and from time to
time, upon the affirmative vote of at least fifty-one percent (5 1%) of the Total Votes of the
Association, Special Assessments, payable over such periods as the Board of Directors may
determine, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction or
reconstruction, unexpected repair or replacement of the Project or any part thereof, or for any
other expenses incurred or to be incurred as provided in this Declaration (including without
limitation Common Expenses). This Section shall not be construed as an independent source of
authority for the Association to incur expenses, but shall be construed to prescribe the manner of
assessing for expenses authorized by other Sections or Articles hereof. Any sums assessed
pursuant hereto shall be assessed to owners in proportion to their respective undivided interests in
the Common Areas. Notice in writing of the amount of each such Special Assessment and the time
for payment thereof shall be given promptly to the Owners; no payment shall be due less than
fifteen (15) days after such notice shall have been given. All unpaid portions of any Special
Assessment shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (151/o) per annum from the date such
portions become due until paid. In addition, in the event that any Special Assessment is not paid
on the date such special Assessment becomes due, it shall be subject to a penalty for late payment
of three dollars ($3.00) per day from the date each such Special Assessment becomes due until
paid. All funds received from assessments under this Section shall be part of the Common
Expense Fund.
9.4 Lien for Assessments. All sums assessed to Owners of any Condominium within the
Project pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, together with penalties and interest thereon as
provided herein, shall be secured by a lien on such Condominium in favor of the Association. To
evidence alien for sums assessed pursuant to this Article 9, the Board of Directors may prepare a
written notice of lien setting forth the amount of the assessment, the date due, the amount
remaining unpaid, the name of the Owner of the Condominium, and a description of the
Condominium. Such a notice shall be signed and acknowledged by a duly authorized officer of the
association and may be recorded in the office of the County Recorder of Madison County, State of
Idaho. No notice of lien shall be recorded until there is a delinquency in payment of the
12
assessment. Such lien may be enforced by sale or foreclosure conducted in accordance with the
provisions of law applicable to the exercise of powers of sale or foreclosure in deeds of trust or
mortgages or in any other manner permitted by law. In any such foreclosure, the Owner shall be
required to pay the costs and expenses of such proceeding (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
and such costs and expenses shall be secured by the lien being foreclosed. The Owner shall also be
required to pay to the Association any assessments against the Condominium which shall become
due during the period of foreclosure, and all such assessments shall be secured by the lien being
foreclosed. The Board of Directors shall have the right and power in behalf of the Association to
bid in at any foreclosure sale, and to hold, lease, mortgage, or convey the subject Condominium in
the name of the Association. Such a lien for Assessments shall not be affected by any sale or
transfer of a Unit, except that a sale or transfer of a Unit pursuant to a foreclosure of a First
Mortgage shall extinguish a subordinate hen for Assessments which became payable prior to such
sale or transfer. Any such sale or transfer pursuant to a foreclosure shall not relieve the purchaser
or transferee of a Unit from liability for, nor the Unit so sold or transferred from the lien of, any
Assessments thereafter becoming due.
9.5 Personal Obligation 'on of Owner. The amount of any Annual or Special Assessment
against any Condominium shall be the personal obligation of the Owner of such Condominimn to
the Association. Suit to recover a money judgment for such personal obligation shall be
maintainable by the Association without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same. No
Owner may avoid or diminish any such personal obligation by waiver of the use and enjoyment of
any of the Common Areas or by abandonment of his Condominium or by waiving any services or
amenities provided for in this Declaration. In the event of any suit to recover a money judgment
for unpaid assessments hereunder, the involved Owner shall pay the costs and expenses incurred
by the Association in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees. The personal
obligation for delinquent Annual or Special Assessments shall not pass to successors in title or
interest to an Owner unless assumed by such successors.
9.6 Amendment of Article. This Article 9 shall not be amended unless Owners of all
Condominiums in the Project unanitnously consent and agree to such amendment in a duly
recorded instrument.

negotiate losses under these policies and to perform such other functions as are necessary to
accomplish this purpose;

obtain insurance at the Owner's own expense providing such other coverage upon such Owner's
Condominium, such Owner's personal property, such Owner's personal liability, and covering
such other risks as such Owner may deem appropriate provided that each such policy shall provide

any grantee of a deed from the Declarant or from any Owner shall constitute an appointment by
said grantee of the Association as such grantee's attorney in fact as herein provided. As attorney in
fact, the Association shall have full and complete authorization, right and power to make, execute,
and deliver any contract, deed, or other instrument with respect to the interest of an Owner in
which may be necessary or appropriate to exercise the powers herein granted.

determined by the Board of Directors and all voting rights and the undivided interest
in the Common Areas appertaining to such Unit shall be reduced in proportion to the
