Section 8.16 Priorities. If a Mortgagee or other purchaser obtains title by reason of a foreclosure of a Mortgagee encumbering a Unit, such purchaser, and its successor or assigns,
shall not be liable for any Assessment, a notice of assessment for which was recorded in the Madison County Recorder subsequent to the date when such Mortgage was recorded in that office.
It is understood, however, that the above shall not be construed to prevent the Board from claiming and recording liens to secure the payment of such Assessments and from foreclosure
on such liens as provided by law, but such lien shall be subordinate to such prior recorded Mortgage.
Section 8.17 Assignment of Rents. If any Owner who is renting its Unit shall default for a period of one (1) month in the payment of any Assessments, the Board may, at its option, and
for so long as such default shall continue, demand and receive from any tenants thereof any portion of the rent due or becoming due, and to the extent such rent is paid to the Association
such tenant shall be discharged of liability to the Owner.

Section 9.14 Communication. All Owners shall designate a single person to communicate with the Board or Property Manager on matters relating to the operations, business and affairs of
the Association, including, but not limited to, matters related to the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Common Area. All communications by the Owner and its employees, agents,
and tenants to the Board or Property Manager shall be through such designated person. In the event that a Property Manager has been retained, the Owners agree to communicate all issues
relating to the operations, obligations, business, and affairs of the Association to the Property Manager directly, and the Owners shall not communicate on any matter related to the
operations, business, and affairs of the Association, including, but not limited to, the maintenance or operation of the Common Area, to the individual Board
members, the Declarant or any contractors or workers on the Property unless specifically directed otherwise by the Board, the Declarant or Property Manager. The Owners agree that the
provisions of this Section are a material consideration in their decision to acquire a Unit in the Project, and repeat violations of the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to
be a nuisance subject to recovery of damages or for negative or affirmative injunctive relief.
ARTICLE 10 ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
Section 10.1 Architectural Control. Until the last Unit has an occupied structure constructed thereon, the Declarant shall have the sole right to exercise the rights, obligations and
powers of the Board set forth in this Section 10.1. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2.1, no Improvement or landscaping shall be commenced, built, constructed, placed, or maintained
upon any Unit, nor shall any exterior addition, change, or alteration of any existing Improvements be made, until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, configuration,
height, materials, location, and such other detail as the Board may require, shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Board as to the harmony of the external design
and location in relation to surrounding structures and topography and as to conformity with requirements of this Declaration. In the event the Board fails to approve, disapprove, or
specify the deficiency in such plans, specifications and location within thirty (30) days after submission to the Board in such form as they may require, it shall be deemed approved.
Design Requirements. The size and location of the building envelope on each Unit shall be determined by Declarant. The exterior surfaces of each occupied structure shall have such colors
as may be approved by the Board. No fences will be allowed other than those constructed by the Declarant or approved by the Board.
Discretion of the Board. The Board shall have the right to refuse to approve any design, plan, or color for Improvements, construction, or alterations which, in its opinion, are not
suitable or desirable for any reason, aesthetic or otherwise. The Board may not approve any such design, plan, or color if it violates any provision of the City Code of the City of
Rexburg. In so passing on such design, the Board shall have the privilege in the exercise of its discretion to take into consideration the suitability of the proposed structure or alteration,
the materials of which it is to be built, and the exterior color scheme in relation to the site upon which it is proposed to be erected. The Board may also consider whether the design
of the proposed structure or alteration is in harmony with the surroundings, the effect of the structure or alteration when viewed from the adjacent or neighboring property, and any
and all other factors which, in the Board’s opinion, shall affect the desirability of such proposed Improvement, structure, or alteration. Actual construction shall comply with the
plans and specifications approved.
Rules. The Board is hereby authorized to adopt rules and regulations to govern its procedures and the requirements for making submissions and obtaining approval as the Board deems appropriate
and in keeping with the spirit of due process of law. The Board is further hereby empowered to adopt such rules and regulations as it shall deem appropriate, consistent with the provisions
of this Declaration, pertaining to matters of design, materials, colors, and aesthetic interests. Any such rules and regulations may be amended from time to time, in the sole discretion
of the Board. The failure of the Board to adopt any such rules and regulations shall not form the basis for an attack upon the exercise of Board’s discretion, it being the intent of
this Declaration to provide the Board with as broad discretion as is permissible under the law.
Fees. The Board may establish, by its adopted rules, a fee schedule for an architectural review fee to be paid by each Owner submitting plans and specifications for approval. No submission
for approval will be considered complete until such fee has been paid. Such fee shall not exceed such reasonable amount as may be required to reimburse the Board for the costs of professional
review of submittals and the services of a consultant to administer the matter to its completion, including inspections which may be required.
Waivers. The approval of any plans, drawings, or specifications for any Improvement, alteration, or for any matter requiring the approval of the Board, shall not be deemed a waiver of
any right to withhold approval of any similar plan, drawing, specifications, or matters subsequently submitted for approval.
Non-Liability of Board Members. Neither the Board nor any member thereof, nor its duly authorized Property Manager or Board representative, nor the Declarant, shall be liable to the
Association or to any Owner for any loss, damage, or injury arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of the Board’s duties hereunder, unless due to the willful misconduct
of the Board. The Board shall review and approve or disapprove all plans submitted to it for any proposed Improvement, alteration, or addition solely on the basis of aesthetic considerations
and the overall benefit or detriment which would result to the immediate vicinity and to the Project generally. The Board shall take into consideration the aesthetic aspects of the
architectural designs, placement of building, landscaping, color schemes, exterior finishes, materials, and similar features, but shall not be responsible for reviewing, nor shall its
approval of any plan or design be deemed approval of any plan or design from the standpoint of structural safety or conformance with building or other codes.
Section 10.2 Improvements by the Declarant.
Exemption from Architectural Control. Any Improvement, sign or landscaping commenced, built, constructed, placed, or maintained on the Property or any Unit by the Declarant shall be
exempt from the requirements of Section 10.1.

any site improvement plans, upon obtaining the approval of the City of Rexburg, Idaho.

of the Declarant shall be free from defects in the original materials and workmanship, as hereinafter defined, for one (1) full year from the date said Improvement was substantially
complete (the “Limited Warranty”). Defective materials and/or workmanship shall be materials or workmanship not substantially in accordance with the construction standards commonly
used in the industry. The Declarant shall have the right to determine that materials and methods to be used in making repairs under the Limited Warranty and to determine whether an
Improvement should be repaired or replaced. THE LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY PROVIDED BY DECLARANT. NO OTHER WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, OR UNDERTAKING, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

DISCLAIMED. SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, DECLARANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. The Limited Warranty does not included remedies for damage to the Improvements caused by normal wear and tear during normal usage, casualty, acts of God, use for a purpose
for which the Improvements were not intended, improper or insufficient maintenance, modifications performed by others, or abuse. The Limited Warranty does not include damage or injury
of any kind or nature whatsoever resulting from mycotoxins, mold, fungal spores, or volatile organic compounds. The Declarant shall assign all manufacturer’s warranties related to the
Common Area Improvements to the Association.
Construction Activities by Declarant. The Declarant shall have the right and easement to use the Common Area (including, but not limited to, the parking areas) for construction staging
and construction activities. The Declarant shall have the right to restrict the Owner’s access to or use of any Common Area so used when necessary, in their opinion, for safety, security
or convenience. The Owners understand and agree that the Declarant will conduct construction activities on the Property during normal business hours and the Owners waive any claim of
nuisance or disruption from such activities. Declarant shall have the right to use all Common Area power and water for its construction, repair, and maintenance activities without reimbursement
to the Association. The Association and Declarant shall also have the right to use any exterior water spigot or power outlet on any Unit for construction, repair, and maintenance activities
without reimbursement to the Owner, provided that such use is not, in the Board’s sole discretion, excessive or wasteful.

through an Owner, shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Section 10.2 except through the Association. The Association shall only have the right to enforce the obligations
in this Section 10.2 against the Declarant, and shall have no right to enforce such obligations against the Declarant’s members, managers, officers, agents, employees, or contractors.
ARTICLE 11 INSURANCE
Section 11.1 Types of Insurance. The Association may obtain and keep in full force and effect at all times the following insurance coverage provided by companies duly authorized to do
business in Idaho. The provisions of this Article shall not be construed to limit the power or authority of the Association to obtain and maintain insurance coverage in addition to
any insurance coverage required hereunder in such amounts and in such forms as the Association may deem appropriate from time to time. The Association may secure and maintain at all
times the following insurance and bond coverage:
The Association may obtain a property insurance policy covering any Association owned property, providing as a minimum fire and extended coverage and all other coverage in the kinds
and amounts commonly required by private institutional mortgage investors for projects similar in construction, location, and use on a replacement cost basis in an amount not less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value (based upon replacement cost).
The Association may obtain a commercial general liability insurance policy covering all of the Association owned facilities in an amount not less than
$1,000,000.00. Such insurance policy shall contain a severability of interest endorsement which shall preclude the insurer from denying the claim of an Owner because of negligent acts
of the Association or other Owners. The scope of coverage must include all other coverage in the kinds and amounts required by private institutional mortgage investors for projects
similar in construction, location and use.
The Association may obtain liability insurance affording coverage for the acts, errors and omissions of its directors and officers, including members of any committees as may be appointed
from time to time by the Board in such amount as may be reasonable in the premises.
The Association may purchase workmen’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance and all other similar insurance with respect to employees of the Association in the amounts and
in the forms now or hereafter required by law.
The Association may obtain bonds and insurance against such other risks, of a similar or dissimilar nature, as it shall deem appropriate with respect to the protection of the Property,
including any personal property of the Association located thereon, its directors, officers, agents, employees, and association funds.
Section 11.2 Insurance Provisions. The following additional provisions shall apply with respect to all insurance policies obtained by the Association:
Insurance secured and maintained by the Association shall not be brought into contribution with insurance held by the individual Owners or their Mortgagees.
Each policy of insurance obtained by the Association shall, if possible, provide a waiver of the insurer’s subrogation rights with respect to the Declarant, the Association, the Owners
and their respective owners, officers, servants, agents and guests; that it cannot be canceled, suspended, or invalidated due to the conduct of any agent, officer or employee of the
Association without a prior written demand that the defect be cured; that any other insurance clause therein shall not apply with respect to insurance held individually by the Owners.

ARTICLE 12
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 12.1 Association as Attorney in Fact. Each and every Owner hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Association as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place,
and stead for the purpose of dealing with the Improvements on the Common Area upon damage or destruction as provided in this Section or a complete or partial taking as provided in the
next Section below. Acceptance by any grantee of a deed or other instrument of conveyance from Declarant or from any Owner shall constitute appointment of the 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, assignment, deed, waiver, or
other instrument with respect to the interest of any Owner which may be necessary or appropriate to exercise the powers granted herein to the Association as attorney-in-fact.
Section 12.2 Estimate of Damages or Destruction. As soon as practical after an event causing damage to or destruction to any part of the Common Area, the Association shall,
unless such damage or destruction shall be minor, obtain an estimate or estimates that it deems reliable and complete of the costs of repair and reconstruction of that part of the Common
Area so damaged or destroyed. “Repair and reconstruction” as used in this Section shall mean restoring the damaged or destroyed Improvements to substantially the same condition in which
they existed prior to the damage or destruction.
Section 12.3 Repair and Reconstruction. As soon as practical after obtaining estimates, the Association shall diligently pursue to completion the repair and reconstruction of the damaged
or destroyed Improvements. As attorney-in-fact for the Owners, the Association may take any and all necessary or appropriate action to effect repair and reconstruction, and no consent
or other action by any Owner shall be necessary. Assessments of the Association shall not be abated during any period of insurance adjustments and repair and reconstruction.
Section 12.4 Funds for Repair and Reconstruction. The proceeds received by the Association from any property insurance shall be used for the purpose of repair and reconstruction. If
the proceeds of the insurance are insufficient to pay the estimated or actual cost of such repair and reconstruction, the Association may assess and collect in advance from all Owners
a Special Assessment sufficient to provide funds to pay such estimated or actual costs of repair and reconstruction. Further Assessments may be made in like manner if the amounts collected
prove insufficient to complete such repair and reconstruction.
Section 12.5 Disbursement of Funds for Repair and Reconstruction. The insurance proceeds held by the Association and the amounts received from the Special Assessments constitute a fund
for the payment of the costs of repair and reconstruction after casualty. It shall be deemed that the first money disbursed in payment for the costs of repair and reconstruction shall
be made from insurance proceeds, and the balance from the Special Assessments. If there is a balance remaining after payment of all costs of such repair and reconstruction, such balance
shall be distributed to the Owners in proportion to the contributions each Owner made as a Special Assessment to the Association under this Section or, if no Special Assessments were
made, then in equal shares per Unit, first to the Mortgagees and then to the Owners, as their interests appear.
Section 12.6 Decision Not to Rebuild. If Owners representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total allocated votes in the Association and two-thirds (2/3) of the Mortgagees (based upon
one (1) vote for each Mortgage owned) of the Units agree in writing not to repair and reconstruct and no alternative Improvements are authorized, then and in that event the damaged
Common Area shall be restored to its natural state and maintained as an undeveloped portion of the Common Area by the Association in a neat and attractive condition, and any remaining
insurance proceeds shall be distributed in equal shares per Unit, first to the Mortgagees and then to the Owners, as their interests appear.
Section 12.7 Damage or Destruction Affecting Units. In the event of damage or destruction to any Improvements owned by any Owner, the Owner thereof shall promptly repair and restore
the damaged Improvements to their condition prior to such damage or destruction. If such repair or restoration is not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of
such damage or destruction, or if repair and reconstruction is commenced but then abandoned for a period of more than ninety (90) days, then the Association may impose a fine of not
less than $50.00 per day on the Owner of the Unit until repair and reconstruction is commenced, unless the Owner can prove to the reasonable satisfaction of the Association that such
failure is due to circumstances beyond the Owner’s control.
ARTICLE 13 CONDEMNATION
Section 13.1 Rights of Owners. Whenever all or any part of the Common Area shall be taken or conveyed in lieu of and under threat of condemnation by the Board acting as attorney-in-fact
for all Owners under instructions from any authority having the power of condemnation or eminent domain, each Owner shall be entitled to notice of the taking, but the Association shall
act as attorney-in-fact for all Owners in the proceedings incident to the condemnation proceeding, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Section 13.2 Condemnation; Distribution of Award; Reconstruction. The award made for such partial or complete taking shall be payable to the Association as trustee for all Owners to
be disbursed as follows: If the taking involves a portion of the Common Area on which Improvements have been constructed, then, unless within sixty (60) days after such taking Declarant
and Owners representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Members shall otherwise agree, the Association shall restore or replace such Improvements so taken on the remaining land included
in the Common Area to the extent lands are available therefor, in accordance with plans approved by the Board. If such Improvements are to be repaired or restored, the provisions in
the Section above regarding the disbursement of funds in respect to casualty damage or destruction which is to be repaired shall apply. If the taking does not involve any Improvements
on the Common Area, or if there is a decision made not to repair or restore, or if there are net funds remaining after any such restoration or replacement is completed, then such award
or net funds shall be distributed in equal shares per Unit, first to the Mortgagees and then to the Owners, as their interests appear.
ARTICLE 14 AMENDMENT
Section 14.1 By the Association. Except as set forth in this Declaration with respect to amendments and supplements by the Declarant, and except where a greater percentage is required
by express provision in this Declaration, the provisions of this Declaration may be
amended, modified, clarified, supplemented, added to (collectively, “amendment”) by an instrument in writing signed and acknowledged by the President and Secretary of the Association
certifying and attesting that such amendment has been approved by the vote or written consent of Owners representing a majority of the voting power of the Association, and such amendment
shall be effective upon its recordation with the Madison County Recorder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Article 14 shall require the vote or written consent of
Members holding two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the Association. Such amendments may add to and increase the covenants, conditions, restrictions, and easements applicable to
the Property but shall not prohibit or unreasonably interfere with the allowed uses of any Unit which existed prior to the said amendment. No amendment shall modify or diminish the
rights of the Declarant hereunder without the Declarant’s written consent.
Section 14.2 Effect of Amendment. Any amendment of this Declaration approved in the manner specified above shall be binding on and effective as to all Owners and their respective Units
notwithstanding that such Owners may not have voted for or consented to such amendment and as to all Mortgagees and other holders of a lien or security interest in any portion of the
Project.
Section 14.3 Mortgage Protection. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, no amendment of this Declaration shall operate to defeat or render invalid the rights of a
Mortgagee under a Mortgage made in good faith and for value and recorded prior to the recordation of such amendment; provided, however, that the foreclosure of any such Mortgage shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of this Declaration, as amended.
ARTICLE 15
RIGHTS TO REPURCHASE UNITS
Section 15.1 Right of First Refusal.
If an Owner makes or receives a bona fide offer for the purchase and sale, conveyance, or other transfer of any Unit that does not have a Building constructed or under construction thereon
in accordance with this Declaration, the Owner shall first offer the Unit, in writing, to Declarant on terms and conditions set forth in the offer. Declarant shall have thirty (30)
days after the transmission of such offer to notify the Owner, in writing, that it either (i) agrees to purchase the Unit on the terms of the offer, or (ii) declines to purchase the
Unit. If Declarant declines to purchase the Unit or fails to notify the Owner, in writing, that it agrees to purchase the Unit within such thirty (30) day period, then the Owner shall
be free to sell the Unit to the buyer and on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer for a period of three (3) months after expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Upon the
Owner’s request, Declarant agrees to confirm, in a mutually acceptable writing with acknowledgment, its decision not to purchase the Unit or its failure to notify the Owner
of its decision within the thirty (30) day period set forth above. If the Unit is not sold pursuant to the offer within such three (3) month period, the Owner shall again offer the Unit
to Declarant pursuant to this Section 15.1 in connection with the same offer and any future offers with respect to the Unit.
The parties intend that the first right of refusal set forth in this Section
shall not fail as a result of an Owner extending an offer which, by its terms, cannot be matched by Declarant, such as an exchange. Therefore, if Declarant is unable to perform under
any of the terms (except for the payment of money) of any offer extended by the Owner, then Declarant shall have the right to purchase the Unit for cash at a price that is the cash
equivalent of said offer. The “cash equivalent” is the cash price that fairly represents the fair market value of the Unit as evidenced by the offer in question and as determined by
the parties, or if no agreement, then as determined by an independent appraisal by an appraiser mutually acceptable to the parties, or if no mutually acceptable appraiser is found,
then one appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
This Section 15.1 shall not apply to any transfer of a Unit to any third party related to the Owner through blood or marriage or to any entity owned (in whole or in part) and controlled
by the Owner.
Declarant shall have the right to assign its rights under this Section 15.1 for any particular offer to the Association or any Member at any time.
Section 15.2 Option to Repurchase.
If, upon the third anniversary of Declarant’s first conveyance or transfer of a Unit to an Owner, the Unit does not have a Building constructed or under construction thereon in accordance
with this Declaration, the Declarant shall have the right, at any time thereafter until construction of a Building has been commenced on the Unit, to notify the Owner of such Unit that
Declarant may be interested in repurchasing said Unit on the same price, terms, and conditions as the Owner acquired the Unit. Upon such notification from Declarant, the Owner shall
notify Declarant, in writing, of the exact price, terms, and conditions of the Owner’s acquisition of the Unit. If Declarant is unable to perform under any of the terms (except for
the payment of money) of any offer extended by the Owner, then Declarant shall have the right to purchase the Unit for cash at a price that is the cash equivalent of said offer. The
“cash equivalent” is the cash price that fairly represents the fair market value of the Unit as evidenced by the offer in question and as determined by the parties, or if no agreement,
then as determined by an independent appraisal by an appraiser mutually acceptable to the parties, or if no mutually acceptable appraiser is found, then one appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Declarant shall have thirty (30) days after the transmission of the Owner’s notification (and resolution of any issues related to the amount
of any cash equivalence) to notify the Owner, in writing, that it either (i) agrees to purchase the Unit on the terms provided, or (ii) declines to purchase the Unit.
Declarant shall have the right to assign its rights under this Section 15.2 for any particular Unit to the Association or any Member at any time.
Section 15.3 Closing; Further Actions. In the event of the exercise of any of the rights set forth in this Article 15, the Declarant and Owners agree to proceed to the closing of such
transaction in good faith, and agree to take such steps and extend such courtesies as may be commercially reasonable to facilitate such closing. The parties shall take such further
actions reasonably necessary to complete or confirm the transactions contemplated, including but not limited to the execution any and all documents necessary to consummate the closing
of the transaction with acknowledgment or affidavit, if necessary.
ARTICLE 16
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 16.1 Notices. Any notices permitted or required to be delivered as provided herein shall be in writing and may be delivered either personally, by mail, or by email. If delivery
is made by mail, it shall be deemed to have been delivered seventy-two (72) hours after the same has been deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to any Person
at the address given by such Person to the Association for the purpose of service of such notice, or to the residence of such Person if no address has been given to the Association.
Such address may be changed from time to time by notice in writing to the Association, as provided in this Section.
Section 16.2 Enforcement and Non-Waiver.
Right of Enforcement. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Owner of any Unit shall have the right to enforce any or all of the provisions hereof against any property within the Project
and Owners thereof.
Violations and Nuisances. The failure of any Owner of a Unit to comply with any provision hereof, or with any provision of the Articles or Bylaws of the Association, is hereby declared
a nuisance and will give rise to a cause of action in the Declarant, the Association, or any Owner for recovery of damages or for negative or affirmative injunctive relief or both.
However, any other provision to the contrary notwithstanding, only Declarant, the Association, the Board, or a duly authorized agent of any of them, may enforce by self- help any of
the provisions hereof only if such self-help is preceded by reasonable notice to the Owner.
Violation of Law. Any violation of any state, municipal, or local law, ordinance, or regulation pertaining to the ownership, occupation, or use of any property within the Project is
hereby declared to be a violation of this Declaration and subject to any or all of the enforcement procedures set forth in this Declaration and any or all enforcement procedures in
law and equity.
Section 16.3 Remedies Cumulative. Each remedy provided herein is cumulative and not exclusive.
Section 16.4 Non-Waiver. The failure to enforce any of the provisions herein at any time shall not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce any such provision.
Section 16.5 Interpretation. The provisions of this Declaration shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose of creating a uniform plan for the development and operation of
the Project. This Declaration shall be construed and governed under the laws of the State of Idaho.
