negligence. The Association shall indemnify and hold harmless and defend each of the Directors
against any and all liability to any person, firm or Association arising out of contracts made by the
25
Board on behalf of the Condominium or the Association, unless any such contract shall have been
made in bad faith or contrary to the provisions of the Declaration or Bylaws. It is intended that
the Directors shall have no personal liability with respect to any contract made by them on behalf
of the Condominium or the Association and that in all matters the Board is acting for and on behalf
of the Owners as their agent. The liability of any Owner arising out of any contract made by the
Board or out of the aforesaid indemnity in favor of the Directors shall be limited to such percentage
of the total liability or obligation thereunder as is equal to his Percentage Interest. Every contract
made by the Board or the Managing Agent on behalf of the Condominium or the Association shall
provide that the Board of Directors and the Managing Agent, as the case may be, are acting, as
agent for the Owners and shall have no personal liability thereunder, except in their capacity as
Owners (if applicable) and then only to the extent of their Percentage Interest.
Section III.15 Additional Indemnity of Directors. The Association shall indemnify, hold
harmless, and defend any person, his heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, made a party to any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director of the Association,
against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him
in connection with the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
therein, except as otherwise specifically provided herein in relation to matters as to which it shall
be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Director is liable for gross negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duties. The Association shall also reimburse to any such
Director the reasonable costs of settlement or of judgment rendered in any action, suit or
proceeding, if it shall be found by a majority of the Percentage Vote that such Director was not
guilty of gross negligence or misconduct. In making such findings and notwithstanding the
adjudication in any action, suit or proceeding against a Director, no Director shall be considered
or deemed to be guilty of or liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties
where, acting in good faith, such Director relied on the books and records of the Association or
statements or advise made by or prepared by the Managing Agent of or any officer or employee,
or any accountant, attorney or other person, firm or Association employed by the Association to
render advice or service unless such Director had actual knowledge of the falsity or incorrectness
of such statements; nor shall a Director be deemed guilty of or liable for negligence or misconduct
by virtue of the fact that he failed or neglected to attend a meeting or meetings of the Board of
Directors.
Section I.01 Transactions Involving Affiliates. No contract or other transaction between
the Association and one or more of its Directors, or between the Association and any Person
(including Declarant and/or shareholders or members of Declarant) in which one or more of the
Directors are directors, officers, partners, or employees or are pecuniarily or are otherwise
interested, directly or indirectly, shall be void or voidable because such Director or Directors are
present at the meeting of the Board that authorizes or approves the contract or transaction, or
because his or their votes are counted for such purpose if:
(a) the contract or transaction is between the Association and Declarant or any
affiliate of Declarant and entered into prior to the Applicable Date; or

majority thereof or noted in the minutes, and the Board authorizes, approves, or ratifies

vote sufficient for the purpose; or

the time it is authorized, ratified, approved or executed.
1. Affiliated or interested Directors may be counted in
determining the presence of the quorum at any meeting of the Board that
authorizes, approves or ratifies any contract or transaction, but, following
the Applicable Date, may not vote thereat to authorize any contract or
transaction in which they are so affiliated or so interested.
Section III.16 Bonds. The Board of Directors may require the Managing Agent, Treasurer
and such other officers or employees of the Association as the Board deems necessary to provide
surety bonds, indemnifying the Association against larceny, theft, embezzlement, forgery,
misappropriation, wrongful obstruction, willful misapplication, and other acts of fraud or

reason by the Board. The expense of any such bonds shall be a Common Expense.

ARTICLE V
Assessments
Section V.01 Annual Accounting. Annually, after the close of each fiscal year of the
Association and prior to the date of the annual meeting of the Association next following the end
of such fiscal year, the Board shall cause to be prepared and furnished to each Owner a financial
statement prepared by a certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants then
serving the Association, which statement shall show all receipts and expenses received, incurred
and paid during the preceding fiscal year.
Section V.02 Proposed Annual Budget. Annually, on or before the date of the annual
meeting of the Association, the Board of Directors shall cause to be prepared a proposed annual
budget for the current fiscal year estimating the total amount of the Common Expenses for the
current fiscal year and shall furnish a copy of such proposed budget to each Owner at or prior to
the time the notice of such annual meeting is mailed or delivered to such Owners. The proposed
annual budget shall be submitted to the Owners at the annual meeting of the Association for
adoption and, if so adopted, shall be the basis for the Regular Assessments (as that term is defined
below) for the current fiscal year. At the annual meeting of the Owners, the budget may be
approved in whole or in part or may be amended in whole or in part by a majority of the Percentage
Vote; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual meeting of the Owners be adjourned
until an annual budget is approved and adopted at such meeting, either the proposed annual budget
or the proposed annual budget as amended. The annual budget, the Regular Assessments and all
sums assessed by the Association shall be established by using generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis. The annual budget and the Regular Assessments shall, in
addition, be established to include the establishment and maintenance of a replacement reserve
fund for capital expenditures and replacement and repair of the Common Areas, as hereinafter
described.
3. The failure or delay of the Board of Directors to prepare a proposed
annual budget and to furnish a copy thereof to the Owners shall not constitute a
waiver or release in any manner of the obligations of the Owners to pay the
Common Expenses as herein provided whenever determined. Whenever, whether
before or after the annual meeting of the Association, there is no annual budget
approved by the Owners as herein provided for such current fiscal year, the Owners
shall continue to pay Regular Assessments based upon the last approved budget or,
at the option of the Board, based upon one hundred five percent (105%) of such last
approved budget as a temporary budget
Section V.03 Regular Assessments. The annual budget as adopted by the Owners shall,
based on the estimated cash requirement for the Common Expenses in the current fiscal year as
set forth in said budget, contain a proposed assessment against each Condominium Unit based on
the Percentage Interest of each Condominium Unit. Immediately following the adoption of the
annual budget, each Owner shall be given written notice of such assessment against his respective
Condominium Unit (“Regular Assessments”). In the event the Regular Assessment for a particular
fiscal year is initially based upon a temporary budget, such Regular Assessment shall be revised,
within fifteen (15) days following adoption of the final annual budget by the Owners, to reflect the
25
assessment against each Condominium Unit based upon such annual budget as finally adopted by
the Owners. The aggregate amount of the Regular Assessments shall be equal to the total amount
of expenses provided and included in the final annual budget, including reserve funds as provided
in this Article V. The Regular Assessment against each Condominium Unit shall be paid in
advance in equal monthly installments, commencing on the date of conveyance of the
Condominium Unit and on the first day of each month thereafter. Payment of the monthly
installments of the Regular Assessment shall be made to the Board of Directors or the Managing
Agent, as directed by the Board of Directors; provided, however, Owners may elect to pay monthly
assessments semi-annually or annually, in advance. At the election and option of the Owners by a
majority of the Percentage Vote, the Regular Assessment may be required to be paid by the Owners
in advance in one annual installment rather than monthly or semi-annual installments. In the event
the Regular Assessment for a particular fiscal year of the Association was initially based upon a
temporary budget then,
(a) if the Regular Assessment based upon the final annual budget adopted by
the Owners exceeds the amount of the Regular Assessment based upon the temporary
budget, that portion of such excess applicable to the period from the first day of the current
fiscal year to the date of the next payment of the Regular Assessment which is due shall be
paid with such next payment and such next payment and all payments thereafter during
such fiscal year, shall be increased so that the Regular Assessment as finally determined
shall be paid in full by the remaining payments due in such fiscal year, or
(b) if the Regular Assessment based upon the temporary budget exceeds the
Regular Assessment based upon the final annual budget adopted by the Owners, such
excess shall be credited against the next payment or payments of the Regular Assessment
coming due until the entire amount of such excess has been so credited;
1. provided, however, that if an Owner had paid his Regular
Assessment either semi-annually or annually, in advance, then the
adjustments set forth under (a) or (b) above shall be made by a cash payment
by, or refund to, the Owner on the first day of the second month following
the determination of the Regular Assessment based upon the annual budget
finally adopted by the Owners.
2. The Regular Assessment for the current fiscal year of the
Association shall become a lien on each separate Condominium Unit as of
the first day of each fiscal year (if the fiscal year is the calendar year,
January 1 of each calendar year shall be the lien date) of the Association,
even though the final determination of the amount of such Regular
Assessment may not have been made by that date. The fact that an Owner
has paid his Regular Assessment for the current fiscal year in whole or in
part based upon a temporary budget and thereafter, before the annual budget
and Regular Assessment are finally determined, approved and adjusted as
herein provided, sells, conveys or transfers his Condominium Unit or any
interest therein, shall not relieve or release such Owner or his successor as
owner of such Condominium Unit from payment of the Regular Assessment
for such Condominium Unit as finally determined, and such Owner and his
25
successor as owner of such Condominium Unit shall be jointly and severally
liable for the Regular Assessment as finally determined. Any statement of
unpaid assessments furnished by the Association pursuant to Section 8.02
hereof prior to the final determination and adoption of the annual budget
and Regular Assessment for the year in which such statement is made shall
state that the matters set forth therein are subject to adjustment upon
determination and adoption of the final budget and Regular Assessment for
such year, and all parties to whom any such statement may be delivered or
who may rely thereon shall be bound by such final determinations.
Quarterly or monthly (if so determined by the Board) installments of
Regular Assessments shall be due and payable automatically on their
respective due dates without any notice from the Board or the Association,
and neither the Board nor the Association shall be responsible for providing
any notice or statements to Owners for the same.
Section V.04 Special Assessments. From time to time, Common Expenses of an unusual
or extraordinary nature or not otherwise anticipated may arise. At such time and without the
approval of the Owners, unless otherwise provided in these Bylaws, the Declaration or the Act,
the Board of Directors shall have the full right, power and authority to make special assessments
during any fiscal year which, upon resolution of the Board, shall become a lien on each
Condominium Unit, prorated in accordance with each Condominium Unit's Percentage Interest
(“Special Assessment”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Special
Assessments may be made by the Board of Directors from time to time to pay for capital
expenditures, to pay for the cost of any repair or reconstruction of damage caused by fire or other
casualty or disaster to the extent insurance proceeds are insufficient therefor under the
circumstances described in the Declaration.
Section V.05 Failure of Owner to Pay Assessments. Each Owner shall be personally
liable for the payment of all Regular and Special Assessments. Where the Owner constitutes more
than one person, the liability of such persons shall be joint and several.
(a) If any Owner shall fail or refuse to make any such payment of any
assessment when due, the amount thereof shall constitute a lien on the Condominium Unit
of the Owner, and upon the recording of notice thereof by the Association, such lien shall
be constituted upon such Owner's Condominium Unit prior to all other liens and
encumbrances, recorded or unrecorded, except only
(i) taxes, special assessments and special taxes theretofore or thereafter
levied by any political subdivision or municipal Association of this State and other
25
State or Federal taxes which by law are a lien on the interest of such Owner prior
to pre-existing recorded encumbrances thereon, and
(ii) encumbrances on the interest of such Owner recorded prior to the
date such notice is recorded, which by law would be a lien thereon prior to
subsequently recorded encumbrances.
(b) The Association shall send a notice, postage prepaid, to any such
encumbrancer whose encumbrance was recorded prior to the time of recording the notice
of lien provided for in this section, at the address shown in the recorded encumbrance;
provided that if such encumbrancer has furnished the Association with another address
then such other address shall be used, and said Association shall not foreclose its said lien
until at least thirty (30) days after the date of depositing such notice in the United States
mails, postage prepaid, to the address of such encumbrancer.
(c) Any encumbrancer holding a lien on a Condominium Unit may pay any
Common Expenses payable with respect to such Condominium Unit and, if so provided in
an encumbrance, may add the amount of such payment to the unpaid balance secured by
his lien, and such added amount shall have the same priority and lien rights as the unpaid
balance to which added.
(d) The lien provided for in this section shall be in favor of the Association and
shall be for the benefit of all other Owners, and may be foreclosed by an action brought in
the name of the Association in a manner under the laws of the state governing mechanic's
liens and materialmen's liens and as provided under the Act. The Association, acting on
behalf of the Owners, shall have the power to bid on the interest so foreclosed at foreclosure
sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same; and to subrogate so much
of its right to such lien as may be necessary or expedient to an insurance company which
will continue to give total coverage in spite of nonpayment of such defaulting Owner's
portion of the premium.
(e) Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid assessments shall be
maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same.
(f) The Board shall further have the power to suspend the voting rights of a
member during any period in which such members shall be in default in the payment of
any assessment levied by the Association.
(g) Any payment for assessments not made when due shall bear interest at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date the same shall become due until
the date the same is paid. It shall further be the obligation of any party who shall fail to pay
any assessment or assessments when due to reimburse the Association for all expenses
incurred as a result of such failure to pay, including all expenses incurred by the
Association in the collection of the same, and including further, but not limited to, all costs
of overhead, accounting and legal expenses incurred with respect to, arising out of, or
occasioned by the said failure to pay.
25
(h) In the event any person shall acquire or be entitled to the issuance of a tax
deed, public trustee's deed, sheriffs deed, commissioner's deed, etc., the interest so acquired
shall be subject to all the provisions of this Declaration and to the terms, provisions,
covenants, conditions, and limitations contained in the Declaration, the Bylaws of the
Association and any restrictions or exceptions affecting such interest then in force.
Section V.06 Reserve for Replacements. The Board of Directors shall cause to be
established and maintained a reserve fund for replacements by the allocation and payment to such
reserve fund not less often than annually of an amount determined by the Board to be sufficient to
meet the costs of periodic maintenance, repair, renewal and replacement of the Common Areas
and Limited Common Areas, including, but not limited to, painting or otherwise maintaining the
exterior of buildings and resurfacing, repairing or replacing streets, parking areas, sidewalks, roofs,
landscaped areas and other facilities and appurtenances. In determining the amount of such reserve
fund, the Board shall take into consideration the expected useful life of such Common Areas and
Limited Common Areas, projected increases in the cost of materials and labor, interest to be earned
by such funds, and the advice of Declarant, the Managing Agent and consultants the Board may
employ. Such fund shall include an amount to cover any and all insurance deductibles. Such fund
shall be conclusively deemed to be a Common Expense. Such fund shall be deposited in an interest
bearing account with a bank or savings and loan association authorized to conduct business in
Indianapolis, Hamilton County, Indiana. The reserve for replacements may be expended only for
the purpose of effecting the periodic maintenance, repair, renewal or replacement of the Common
Areas and Limited Common Areas and related equipment. The Board shall annually revise the
adequacy of the reserve fund. The proportionate interest of any Owner in any reserve for
replacements shall be considered an appurtenance of his Condominium Unit and shall not be
separately withdrawn, assigned, transferred or otherwise separated from the Condominium Unit to
which it appertains and shall be deemed to be transferred with such Condominium Unit.
Section V.07 General Operating Reserve. The Board of Directors may establish and
maintain a reserve fund for general operating expenses of a nonrecurring nature by the allocation
and payment to such reserve fund not less frequently than annually of such amount as the Board
in its discretion determines to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such fund shall be
conclusively deemed to be a Common Expense. Such fund shall be deposited in an interest bearing
account with a bank or savings and loan association authorized to conduct business in Marion
County or Hamilton County, Indiana. The general operating reserve fund may be expended only
for operating contingencies of a non-recurring nature. The proportionate interest of any Owner in
any reserve fund for general operating expenses shall be considered an appurtenance of his
Condominium Unit and shall not be separately withdrawn, assigned or transferred or otherwise
separated from the Condominium Unit to which it appertains and shall be deemed to be transferred
with such Condominium Unit.
Section V.08 Regular Assessments Prior to Applicable Date. The purpose of this section
is to provide for the maintenance and upkeep of the Condominium and for the payment of the
Common Expenses during the period prior to the Applicable Date. Accordingly, and
notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Declaration, these Bylaws, the Act or
otherwise, prior to the Applicable Date the annual budget and all Regular Assessments and Special
Assessments shall be established solely by the Initial Board.
25
4. Payment of the Regular Assessments prior to the Applicable Date
with respect to each Condominium Unit within each Building that has been
subjected to the Declaration (including Condominium Units in such Building
owned by Declarant) shall commence on the date of the conveyance of the first
Condominium Unit in such Building to a new Owner. In addition, at the initial
closing of each Condominium Unit, the purchaser or new Owner is required to pay
a sum equal to the full Regular Assessment applicable to such Condominium for
two (2) months as his initial contribution to the working capital and reserves of the
Association. Additionally, as provided in Section 5.03, at each closing, the
purchaser of a Condominium Unit shall pay his pro rata share of the Regular
Assessment due in the month of closing. Thereafter, payment of the Regular
Assessment shall be made on the first day of each calendar month.
5. Declarant or its successors in interest, as an Owner, shall be excused
from payment of assessments from the date the Declaration is recorded and expiring
with respect to the Condominium Units owned by Declarant located within a
particular Building committed by the Declaration on the first day of the thirty-sixth
(36th) calendar month following the month in which the closing of the sale of the
first Condominium Unit in such Building occurs; such provision shall also apply to
assessments for Condominium Units owned by Declarant in each additional
Building committed by Supplemental Declaration. Provided, further, that if the
annual expenses of the Association incurred under the assessment procedure exceed
the amount assessed against the other Owners (excluding the Declarant), then the
Declarant or its successor shall pay the excess required during any such thirty-six
(36) month period on an annual basis (the “Declarant’s Shortfall Payments”);
provided, however, if in any subsequent fiscal year funds held by the Corporation
exceed the total of the amount set forth in the annual budget for such fiscal year
plus all reserves established by the Board in the manner set forth above, such excess
amounts shall be disbursed to Declarant (or at the option of the Board credited
against any Assessments owed by Declarant for any Condominium Units owned by
Declarant) until Declarant has been fully reimbursed for the Declarant’s Shortfall
Payments previously made. Prior to the Applicable Date, Declarant shall bear all
expenses incurred with respect to the Property arising out of construction or other
activities on any portion of the Real Estate, including but not limited to road damage
and clean-up of debris caused by construction traffic, connection to any utility lines
or mains located on the Property and damage to, or deterioration of, trees, fences
or other portions of the Property due to construction off site or the state of areas
under development.
6. No less than ten percent (10%) of the Regular Assessment paid prior
to the Applicable Date shall be designated as a reserve fund for maintenance, repair
or replacement of Common Areas that must be repaired and replaced on a periodic
basis as provided in Section 5.06.
7. That portion of the Regular Assessment collected by the Declarant
prior to the Applicable Date applicable to the replacement reserve shall be held by
the Initial Board and, if required, applied to the replacement of the Property. To
25
the extent that such replacement reserve is not so applied, the balance thereof shall
be retained by the Association at the Applicable Date.
Section V.09 Liability of Grantee. In a voluntary conveyance of a Condominium Unit
other than a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the grantee as successor Owner of the Condominium Unit
shall be jointly and severally liable with the grantor for all unpaid assessments by the Association
prior to the time of the grant or conveyance without prejudice to the grantee’s right to recover from
the grantor amounts paid by the grantee therefor. Upon request by an Owner, purchaser or grantee
thereof, or Mortgagee, the Secretary or other authorized officer of the Association or the Managing
Agent shall provide within fifteen (15) days of the written request therefor, a statement of the
amount of current and delinquent assessments by the Association, including fines and charges
against a particular Condominium Unit. The Association may require the Owner to confirm that
the person requesting the statement is a Mortgagee or purchaser or grantee of the Owner. The
recording of such written statement, together with a deed to such Condominium Unit, shall operate
to discharge the Condominium Unit from any lien for any other Regular or Special Assessment
unpaid as of the date of such statement.
Section V.10 Waiver of Lien upon Foreclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Declaration and these Bylaws, any sale or transfer of a Condominium Unit to a
Mortgagee pursuant to a foreclosure of its mortgage or conveyance in lieu thereof, or conveyance
to any Person at a public sale in the manner provided by law with respect to mortgage foreclosures,
shall extinguish the lien of any unpaid installment of any Regular or Special Assessment as to such
installments that become due prior to each sale, transfer or conveyance, but extinguishments of
such lien shall not relieve the prior Owner from personal liability therefor. No such sale, transfer
or conveyance shall relieve the Condominium Unit or the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, or
grantee in the event of conveyance in lieu thereof, from liability for any installments of
Assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien therefor. Such unpaid share of any
Assessments, the lien for which has been divested as aforesaid, shall be deemed to be a Common
Expense, collectible from all owners (including the party acquiring the Condominium Unit from
which it arose), as provided in the Act.
Section V.11 Initial Budget and Assessments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein in the Declaration, the Act, other applicable statutes or otherwise, until the
Applicable Date, the annual budget and all Regular Assessments and Special Assessments shall
be established by the Initial Board without meetings of or concurrence of the Owners. A power of
attorney and proxy coupled with an interest is reserved to the Declarant and is granted to the
Declarant by each Owner and shall be deemed to cover and include each Owner's right to vote on
and approve the initial annual budget and any Regular Assessments and Special Assessments until
the Applicable Date.
Section V.12 Maintenance and Repairs. Every Owner shall promptly perform all
maintenance and repairs within the Owner's Condominium Unit which, if neglected, would affect
the value of the Property. In addition, each Owner shall furnish and shall be responsible at his
own expense for the maintenance, repairs and replacements of his Condominium Unit and Limited
Common Areas exclusive to his Condominium Unit, and all equipment serving the same. Such
maintenance, repairs and replacements which each Owner is responsible to make personally and
at his own expense include, but are not necessarily limited to: water lines, gas lines, plumbing and
25
electric lines which service the Owner's Condominium Unit only and are located within exterior
walls of the Condominium Unit including any lines in the area from below the floor to above the
roof if they are within an extension of the exterior walls of the Condominium Units; all partitions
and interior walls, ceilings and floors; appliances, to include garbage disposals, dishwashers,
stoves, ranges and refrigerators, telephones, air conditioning and heating equipment (whether
located wholly or partially inside or outside the Condominium Unit), doors, screens, and windows
(including exterior and interior of all glass and screen surfaces), lamps, and interior and exterior
grouting and/or caulking and all other accessories appurtenant to the Condominium Unit or
belonging to the Owner thereof. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this paragraph, all lawn
mowing, landscaping and other similar maintenance within the Common Areas shall be provided
as an expense of the Association. No Owner shall in any way cut or fertilize lawns, shrubs or other
items of landscaping or attempt to maintain or replace same in any manner whatsoever. The
Association will provide personnel for these purposes.
8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, due to the willful, intentional or
negligent acts or omissions of an Owner or a member of his family, or of a guest,
tenant or other occupant or visitor of such Owner, damage shall be caused to the
Common Areas or to a Condominium Unit or Limited Common Area owned by or
reserved for the use of others, or if maintenance, repairs or replacements shall be
required thereby which would otherwise be a Common Expense, then such Owner
shall pay for such damage and such maintenance, repairs and replacements, as may
be determined by the Association, unless such loss is covered by the Association's
insurance with such policy having a waiver of subrogation clause. Maintenance,
repairs and replacements to the Common Areas or the Condominium Units or any
Limited Common Areas shall be subject to the rules and regulations adopted from
time to time by the Board.
9. To the extent that equipment, facilities and fixtures within any
Condominium Unit shall be connected to similar equipment, facilities or fixtures
affecting or serving other Condominium Units or any Common Areas or Limited
Common Areas, then the use thereof by the Owner of such Condominium Unit shall
be subject to the rules and regulations adopted from time to time by the Board. The
authorized representatives of the Association or Board of Directors, or the
Managing Agent for the Association, shall be entitled to reasonable access to any
Condominium Unit as may be required in connection with maintenance, repairs or
replacements of or to the Common Areas or Limited Common Areas or any parts
thereof, or any equipment, facilities or fixtures affecting or serving other
Condominium Units or any Common Areas or Limited Common Areas.

at least a six (6) month period and shall have a written lease, and such lease shall provide
that the lease is subject to the provisions of the Declaration, the Bylaws and the rules and
regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, and any failure of the lessee to comply
with the terms of such documents shall be a default under the lease. A copy of each such
lease and the name of tenant shall be delivered to the Board of Directors promptly upon
execution.
(b) No additional buildings, temporary structures, utility buildings or tents shall
be erected or located on the Property other than the Buildings designated in the Declaration
or a supplement or amendment to the Declaration, and shown on the Plans or plans filed

painted, remodeled or replaced without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors.
(c) Nothing shall be done or kept in any Condominium Unit or in the Common
Areas or Limited Common Areas which will cause an increase in the rate of insurance on
the Building or the contents thereof. No Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in
his Condominium Unit or in the Common Areas or Limited Common Areas which will
result in a cancellation of insurance on the Building or any part of the Common Areas or
Limited Common Areas or contents thereof, or which would be in violation of any law or
ordinance or the requirements of any insurance underwriting or rating bureau.
(d) No nuisance shall be permitted and no waste shall be committed in any
Condominium Unit or in the Common Areas or Limited Common Areas.

including cats, must be under the control of the Owner, on a leash, or confined to the
Condominium Unit or the Limited Common Area exclusively appurtenant thereto. An
Owner shall be fully liable for any injury or damage to persons or property including the
Common Areas or Limited Common Areas, caused by his pet. The Board may adopt such
rules and regulations regarding pets as it may deem necessary from time to time including,
but not limited to, a requirement that any Owner desiring to bring a pet on the Property
shall deposit with the Board a security deposit in an amount to be determined by the Board
to cover any damage that may be caused by such pet to the Common Areas and Li mited
Common Areas.
(g) Nothing shall be done or permitted in any Condominium Unit which will
impair the structural integrity of the Building or which would structurally change the
Building or which would affect the exterior appearance of any Condominium Unit, except
as otherwise provided in the Declaration or these Bylaws. No Condominium Unit shall be
used in any unlawful manner, in violation of the zoning laws in effect in Hamilton County,
Indiana, or in any manner which might cause injury to the reputation of the Condominiums
or the Association or which might be or cause a nuisance, annoyance, inconvenience or
damage to other Owners and occupants of Condominium Units or neighboring property,
including without limiting the generality of the foregoing noise by the use of any musical

Section VI.02 Enforcement. The Declarant, the Board or, in a proper case, an Aggrieved
Owner, shall have the right of enforcement of all restrictions and regulations adopted pursuant to
this Article VI. An “Aggrieved Owner” shall mean an Owner whose rights are affected or
infringed by any such alleged failure to comply with the provisions of the Declaration, Bylaws or
any decision of the Association or its Board of Directors in a manner diffe rent from the rights of
all other Owners. Any Owner who alleges that he is an “Aggrieved Owner” shall first notify the
Board of Directors of such Owner’s aggrieved status and request a special meeting of the Board
of Directors to be held within thirty (30) days of such request (or within seven (7) days in an
emergency situation) to establish to the Board and the Association that such owner is “aggrieved”
within the meaning hereof, prior to the commencement of any right of action commenced
hereunder. Any costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, may be recovered from any Owner
for violation thereof, however, any reservation of right to the use of summary abatement or similar
means to enforce restrictions against a Condominium Unit or its use shall require that judicial
proceedings be instituted before any items of construction can be altered or demolished.
10. These Bylaws, including all restrictions set forth herein and the rules
and regulations may be enforced by injunctive relief, specific performance or the
imposition of reasonable monetary fines and suspension of use and voting
privileges. These powers, however, shall not be construed as limiting any other
legal means of enforcing the use restrictions or rules and regulations of the
Association. Any fines so imposed shall be considered an assessment against the
Condominium Unit and may be collected in the manner provide for collection of
other assessments. In addition to the foregoing, if any person shall fail to maintain
its Condominium Unit in a reasonably safe and sanitary condition, the Association
may, at the Board’s option, and after thirty (30) days written notice to the Owner,
perform any clean-up, repair and/or replacement to cure any such condition, and all
costs and expenses reasonable incurred by the Association, plus interest thereof at
the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, shall be reimbursed to the
Association by such Owner within thirty (30) days after the work has been
completed. The Association may levy a special assessment against any such
Condominium Unit, which may be enforced in accordance with these Bylaws.
Section VI.03 Compliance with Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Every Owner,
Mortgagee, lessee or other occupant of a Condominium Unit shall comply strictly with the
covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Declaration, with the Bylaws and with the
Rules and Regulations in relation to the use and operation of the Property. A violation committed
by any persons residing in, occupying or visiting a Condominium Unit at the behest or with the
implied or express permission of the Owner or any other occupant of the Condominium Unit, or
committed by any agent, employee, business invitee, or contractor of the Owner or of any person
occupying a Condominium Unit shall be attributed to that Condominium Unit and the Owner
thereof. Failure to comply with any of said covenants, conditions and/or restrictions shall be
grounds for withdrawal by the Board of Directors of privileges with respect to the use of any of
the Common Areas by any defaulting Owner and by his tenants, invitees, guests and all members
of his family and/or his tenant’s family. An action seeking a declaratory judgment, the recovery
25
of sums due for damages, or injunctive relief, or any or all of them may be maintained by the Board
of Directors or by an interested party who has obtained the prior written consent of the Board of
Directors against any Owner, or any person entitled to occupy a Condominium Unit who refuses
to comply or threatens to refuse to comply with any provisions of the Declaration, the Bylaws, the
rules and regulations, or any other document establishing ownership or control over any part of
the Property. One or more Owners may bring a class action on behalf of all Owners.
11. After giving not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to an
Owner who has not complied, and after giving such party the opportunity to be
heard by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall have the right to
impose a fine of not more than One Hundred Dollars ($100) for the second violation
attributable to a particular owner in a calendar year against the Owner and the
Condominium Unit in which such Owner holds an ownership interest. For a third
violation attributable to the same Owner in the same calendar year (whether or not
this third violation involves the same terms or provision of the above -described
condominium instruments as the first or second violations), the Board of Directors,
after giving the above-described notice and opportunity to be heard, may levy a fine
against that Owner and the Condominium Unit in which each Owner holds an
ownership interest in an amount not in excess of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150).
For the fourth and every subsequent such violation of said condominium
instruments by the same Owner in the same calendar year, the Board of Directors,
after giving the above-described notice and opportunity to be heard, may levy a fine
against that Owner and the Condominium Unit in which such Owner holds an
ownership interest in double the amount of the fine for the immediately preceding
violation in that calendar year.
12. All fines described above, any fines imposed by the Board of
Directors and any and all expenses incurred by the Association in enforcing any of
the terms and provisions of the condominium instruments, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, may be levied as a Special Assessment against the Owner in
question and his Condominium Unit.
13. Any action brought by the Association hereunder may be brought in
its own name, in the name of its Board of Directors or in the name of the Managing
Agent. In any case of flagrant or repeated violation by an Owner, he may be
required by the Board of Directors to give sufficient surety or sureties for his future
compliance with the covenants, conditions and restrictions contained in the
Declaration, the Bylaws, and the rules and regulations.
Section VI.04 Right of Entry. All Owners and occupants of a Condominium Unit shall be
deemed to have granted the right of entry thereto to the Board or any person authorized b y the
Board in case of any emergency originating in or threatening his Condominium Unit or the

or their representatives when so required, to enter his Condominium Unit for the purpose of
performing installations, alterations or repairs to the mechanical or electrical services, or to make
structural repairs, provided that requests for entry are made in advance and that such entry is at a
25
time reasonably convenient to the Owner. In case of emergencies, such right of entry shall be
immediate.
Section VI.05 Right of Board to Adopt Rules and Regulations. The Board may
promulgate such additional rules and regulations regarding the operation of the Property, including
but not limited to the use of the Common Areas and Limited Common Areas, as it may deem
necessary from time to time and such rules as are adopted may be amended by a vote of a majority
of the Board, and the Board shall cause copies of such rules and regulations and all amendments
thereto to be delivered to and mailed promptly to all Owners. In the event of any conflict between
such rules and regulations of the Board and restrictions contained in these Bylaws, the restrictions
in the Bylaws shall control.
Section VI.06 Interpretation of Bylaws and Covenants. The Board of Directors shall have
the power, authority and obligation to determine all matters affecting or relating to the
interpretation, application and enforcement of the Bylaws and the Restrictive Covenants set forth
in this Article VI of the Bylaws. Any decision or determination made by the Board pursuant to its
powers and obligations as set forth in this Section shall be deemed binding upon all parties and all

conditions of the Declaration and/or Bylaws.
