Corporation in a separate interest bearing account or accounts with one or more banks or savings
and loan associations authorized to conduct business in Hamilton County or Marion County,
Indiana selected from tinle to time by the Board. 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 meeting of the
Corporation at which the budget is to be acted upon, there is no annual budget approved by the
Owners as herein provided for the current fiscal year, the Owners shall continue to pay Regular
Assessment,> based upon the last approved budget or, at the option of the Board, based upon one
hundred and twenty percent (120%) of such last approved budget, as a temporary budget. Any vote
on an increase of the prior year budget in excess of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the total
costs shall require approval of the Owners of fifty-one percent (51 %) of the Lots.
Section 9.3. Regular Assessments. The annual budget as adopted by the O~'11ers shall,
based on the estimated cash requirement for the Common Expenses in the fiscal year covered
thereby as set forth in said budget, contain a proposed assessment against each Lot, which shall be
the same amount for each Lot. Immediately following the adoption of the annual budget, each
Owner shall be given written notice of the assessment against this respective Lot (herein called the
"Regular Assessment"). In the event the Regular Assessment for a particular fiscal year is initially
Woodhall Declamtion (3)
30
based upon a temporary budget, such Regular Assessment shall be revised, within fifteen (15) days
following the adoption of the fmal annual budget by the Owners, to reflect the assessment against
each Lot based upon such annual budget as fmally 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 fmal annual budget, including the reserve funds as hereinabove provided. The Regular
Assessment against each Lot shall be paid in full in advance by a date specified by the Board which
date shall not be earlier than fifteen (15) days after the written notice of such Regular Assessment is
given to the Owners. However, at the option of the Board, the Regular Assessment against each
Lot may be paid in advance in equal quarterly installments commencing on the first day of the first
month of each fiscal year and quarterly thereafter through and including the fITst day of the last
quarter of such fiscal year. Payment of the Regular Assessment, whether in one payment or in
quarterly installments, shall be made to the Board of Directors or the Managing Agent, as directed
by the Board of Directors. In the event the Regular Assessment for a particular fiscal year of the
Corporation was initially based upon a temporary budget,
(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, whether annual or quarterly, shall be
increased so that the Regular Assessment as finaUy 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, whether annual or quarterly, until the entire amount of such excess has
been so credited;
provided, however, that if an Owner had paid his Regular Assessment in full in advance, then the
adjustments set forth lll1der (a) or (b) above shall be made by a payment by, or refund to, the Owner
on the first day of the second month following the detenl1ination of the Regular Assessment based
upon the annual budget finally adopted by the OVlrners. The Regular Assessment for each fiscal
Woodhall Declaration (3)
31
year of the Corporation shall become a lien on each separate Lot as of the fIrst day of each fiscal
year of the Corporation, even though the [mal 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 almual budget and Regular Assessment are [mally detennined, approved and
adjusted as herein provided, sells, conveys or transfers his Lot or any interest therein, shall not
relieve or release such Owner or his successor as owner of such Lot from payment of the Regular
Assessment for such Lot as fmally determined, and such Owner and his successor as owner of such
Lot shall be jointly and severally liable for the Regular Assessment as finally determined. Any
statement of unpaid assessments furnished by the Corporation pursuant to Section 10.2 prior to the
fmal detennination and adoption of the annual budget and Regular Assessment for the year with
respect to 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. Annual or quarterly (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 of the Corporation, and neither the Board nor the
Corporation shall be responsible for providing any notice or statements to Owners for the same.
Section 9.4. 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 this Declaration, the Articles, the By-Laws or the Act,
the Board of Directors shall have the full right, power and authority to make special assessments
which, upon resolution of the Board, shall become a lien on each Lot, prorated in equal shares
(herein called "Special Assessment"). Any Special Assessment in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00) per Lot shall require the approval of the Owners of fifty-one percent (51 %) of the
Lots. 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 and to pay for the
Woodhall Declaration (3)
32
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 this
Declaration, but Special Assessments may not be made prior to the Applicable Date to pay for
Common Expenses or other items to be paid by Regular Assessments.
Section 9.5. Failure of Owner to Pay Assessments; Lien.
(a) No Owner may exempt himself from paying Regular Assessments and Special
Assessments, or from contributing toward the expenses of administration and of maintenance and
repair of the Conunon Areas and items deemed Common Areas for purposes of maintenance, and
toward any other expense lawfully agreed upon, by waiver of the use or enjoyment of the Common
Areas or by abandonment of the Lot belonging to him. Each Owner shall be personally liable for
the payment of all Regular and Special Assessments against his or her Lot. Where the Owner
constitutes or consists of more than one Person, the liability of such Persons shall be joint and
several. If any Owner shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment of any Regular Assessments
or Special Assessments against his Lot when due, the lien for such Assessment on the Owner's Lot
and Dwelling Unit may be filed by the Board for and on behalf of the Corporation in the manner
provided by law for a conunon law lien and foreclosed by the Board for and on behalf of the
Corporation in the same manner as a mortgage on real property or as otherwise provided or
permitted by law. Upon the failure of an Owner to make timely payments of any such Regular
Assessments Of Special Assessments, when due, the Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the
entire balance of the unpaid Assessments and declare the same immediately due and payable,
notwithstanding any other provisions hereof to the contrary. In any action to foreclose the lien for
any Assessments, the Owner and any occupant of the Lot and Dwelling Unit which are the subject
of such action shan be jointly and severally liable for the payment to the Corporation of reasonable
rental for such Lot and Dwelling Unit, and the Board shall be entitled to the appointment of a
receiver for the purpose of preserving the Lot and Dwelling Unit and to collect the rentals and other
profits therefrom for the benefit ofthe Corporation to be applied to the unpaid Regular Assessments
or Special Assessments. TIle Board may, at its option, bring a suit to recover a money judgment for
Woodhall Declaration (3)
33
any unpaid Regular Assessment or Special Assessment without foreclosing (and without thereby
being deemed to have waived) the lien securing the same. In any action to recover a Regular
Assessment or Special Assessment, or any other debts, dues or charges owed the Corporation,
whether by foreclosure or otherwise, the Board, for and on behalf of the Corporation, shall be
entitled to recover from the Owner of the respective Lot and dwelling Unit all of the costs and
expenses of such action incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) and
interest from the date such Assessments or charges were due, until paid, at a rate equal to the
"prime interest rate" then in effect as publicly quoted or published by a national bank or other
source selected by the Board of Directors.
(b) Notwithstmding anything contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Declaration,
the Articles or the By-Laws, any sale or transfer of a Lot and Dwelling Unit to a Mortgagee
pursuant to a foreclosure on its mortgage or conveyance in lieu thereof, or a conveyance to any
Person at a public sale in tbe manner provided by law with respect to mortgage foreclosures, shall
extinguish the lien of any unpaid installment of any Regular Assessment or Special Assessment or
other charges as to such installments which became due prior to such sale, transfer or conveyance;
provided, however, that the extinguishment of such lien shall not relieve the prior owner from
personal liability therefor. No such sale, transfer or conveyance shall reliever the Lot and Dwelling
Unit or the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, or grantee in the event of conveyance in lieu thereof,
from liability for any installments of Regular Assessments or Special Assessments or other charges
thereafter becoming due or from the lien therefor. Such unpaid share of any Regular Assessments
or Special Assessments or other charges, the lien for which has been divested as aforesaid, shall, if
not collected from the party personally liable therefor, be deemed to be a Common Expense.
collectible from all Owners (including the party acquiring the subject Lot and Dwelling Unit from
which it arose).

contained herein, in the Articles, in the By-Laws, in the Act or otherwise, until the Applicable Date
the annual budget and all Regular Assessments and Special Assessments (except as limited under
Woodhall Declaration (3)
34
the last sentence in Section 9. I) shall be established by the Initial Board without meeting of or
concurrence of the Owners. The agency, power of attorney and proxy granted to the Declarant by
each Owner pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be deemed to cover and include each Owner's right to
vote on and approve the annual budget and any Regular Assessments and Special Assessments until
the Applicable Date.
Further, until the Applicable Date and notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else
contained herein, no Regular Assessments, Special Assessments or other charges shall be owed or
payable by Declarant with respect to any Lot or other portion of the Real Estate o\\-ned by Declarant
while the same is owned by Declarant, nor shall any such Assessments or charges become a lien on
any such Lot or other portion of the Real Estate owned by Declarant, unless the Common Expenses
exceed the Regular Assessments of Lot Owners prior to the Applicable Date, whereby Declarant
shall pay any deficiency. Assessments against a Lot shall commence to accrue :from the date each
Lot is conveyed by Declarant to an Owner other than Declarant, and a prorated portion of the
Regular Assessment for the balance of the fiscal year of the Corporation against each Lot so
conveyed by Declarant shall be paid by each purchaser upon such conveyance.
Section 9.7. Initial Working Capital and Start-Up Fund. Upon the closing of the initial
conveyance of each Lot by Declarant to another Person, the purchaser of such Lot shall pay to the
Corporation, in addition to any other amounts then owed or due to the Corporation, as a
contribution to its working capital and start-up fund, an amount equal to one-sixth (l/6th) of the
then current annual Regular Assessment against such Lot, which payment shall be non-reftmdable
and shall not be considered as an advance payment of any Assessment or other charge owed the
Corporation with respect to such Lot. Such working capital and start-up fund shall be held and
used by the Corporation for payment of, or reimbursement to Declarant for advances made to pay,
expenses of the Corporation for its early period of operation of the Real Estate, to enable the
Corporation to have cash available to meet unforeseen expenditures, or to acquire additional

Insurance
Section 11.1. Casualty Insurance. lbe Corporation shall purchase a master casualty
insurance policy affording fire and extended coverage insurance insuring the Common Areas in an
amount consistent with the full replacement value of the improvements, if any, which, in whole or
in part, comprise the Common Areas. If the Board of Directors can obtain such coverage for
reasonable amounts they shall also obtain "all risk" coverage. The Board of Directors shall be
responsible for reviewing at least annually the amount and type of such insurance and shall
purchase such additional insurance as is necessary to provide the insurance required above. If
deemed advisable by the Board, the Board may cau."e such full replacement value to be determined
by a qualified appraiser. The cost of any such appraisal shall be a Conunon Expense. Such
insurance coverage shall name the Corporation as the insured, for the benefit of each Owner (to the
extent, if any, that individual Owners have an independent interest in the property covered thereby).
All proceeds payable as a result of casualty losses sustained which are covered by insurance
purchased by the Corporation as hereinabove set forth shall be paid to it or to the Board of
Directors. In the event that the Board of Directors ha" not posted surety bonds for the faithful
performance of their duties as such Directors or if such bonds do not exceed the funds which will
come into its hands, and there is danlage to a part or all of the Common Areas resulting in a loss,
the Board of Directors shall obtain and post a bond for the faithful performance of its duties in an
amount to be determined by the Board, but not less than 150% of the loss, before the Board shall be
entitled to receive the proceeds of the insurance payable as a result of such loss. The sole duty of
the Board in connection with any such insurance proceeds shall be to receive such proceeds as are
paid and to hold the same for the purposes elsewhere stated herein, and for the benefit of the
Owners. The proceeds shall be used or disbursed by the Corporation or the Board, as appropriate,
only in accordance with the provisions oftrns Declaration.
Woodhall Dec1aratinn (3)

extent the same are obtainable) contain provisions that the insurer (a) waives its right to subrogation
as to any claim against the Corporation, the Board of Directors, its agents and employees, Owners,
their respective agents and guests, and (b) waives any defense based on the invalidity arising from
the acts of the insured, and providing further, if the Board of Directors is able to obtain such
insurance upon reasonable terms (i) that the insurer shall not be entitled to contribution against
casualty insurance which may be purchased by individual Ov.'I1ers, and (ii) that notwithstanding any
provision thereof giving the insurer an election to restore damage in lieu of a cash settlement, such
option shall not be exercisable in the event the Corporation does not elect to restore.
Section 11.2. Public Liability Insurance. The Corporation shall also purchase a master
commercial public liability insurance policy in such amount or amOlUlts as the Board of Directors
shall deem appropriate from time to time, but in any event with a minimum combined limit of
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Such commercial public liability insurance policy shall cover all of
the Common Areas and shall insure the Corporation, the Board of Directors, any committee or
organ of the corporation or Board, any Managing Agent appointed or employed by the Corporation,
all persons acting or who may come to act as agents or employees of any of the foregoing with
respect to the Real Estate, all Owners of Lots and all other persons entitled to occupy any Lot or
Dwelling Unit. Such public liability insurance policy shall contain a "severability of interest"
clause or endorsement which shall preclude the insurer from denying the claim of an Owner
because of negligent acts of the Corporation or other Owners.
Section ]] .3. Other Insurance. The Corporation shall also obtain any other insurance
required by law to be maintained, including but not limited to worker's compensation, and such
other insurance as the Board of Directors may from time to time deem necessary, advisable or
appropriate, including but not limited to, liability insurance on vehicles owned or leased by the
Corporation and officers' and directors' liability policies. Such insurance coverage shall also
provide for and cover cross liability claims of one insured party against another insured party. Such
insurance shall inure to the benefit of each Owner, the Corporation, the Board of Directors and any
Woodhall Declaration (3)
38
Managing Agent acting on behalf of the Corporation. Each O,;yner shall be deemed to have
delegated to the Board of Directors his or her right to adjust with the insurance companies all losses
under the policies purchased by the Board of Directors the proceeds of which are payable to the
Board or the Corporation.
Section 11.4. General Provisions. The premiums for all insurance hereinabove described
shall be paid by the Corporation as part of the Common Expenses. When any such policy of
insurance hereinabove described has been obtained by or on behalf of the Corporation, written
notice of the obtainment thereof and of any subsequent changes therein or tennination thereof shall
be promptly furnished to each Owner or Mortgagee whose interest may be affected thereby, which
notice (accompanied by copies of such policies of any changes thereto, or certificates indicating the
coverages included therein) shall be furnished by the officer of the Corporation who is required to
send notices of meetings of the Corporation.
In no event shall any distribution of insurance proceeds be made by the Board of Directors
directly to an Owner where there is a mortgagee endorsement on the certificate of insurance or
insurance policy as it applies to such Owner's share of such proceeds. In such event any remittances
shall be to the Owner and his Mortgagee jointly. The same method of distribution shall also apply
to the distribution of any condemnation awards in connection with any taking of any of the
Common Areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any distribution of
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards be made by the Corporation to any Owners or
Mortgagees if to do so would be in violation of the Act or if the same would constitute a
distribution of earnings, profits or pecuniary gain to the members of the Corporation; in any such
event, any such insurance proceeds of condemnation awards shall be retained by the Corporation
for use in the payment of its expenses of operation.
Section 11.5. Insurance by Owners. Each Owner shall be solely responsible for and may
obtain such additional insurance as he deems necessary or desirable, at his own expense, affording
coverage upon his or her personal property, his or her Lot, his or her Dwelling Unit, the contents of
his or her Dwelling Unit, his or her personal property stored anywhere on the Real Estate, and for
Woodhall Declaration (3)

subrogation as referred to in the foregoing provisions for the master casualty insurance policy to be
obtained by the Corporation.

In the event of damage to or destruction of any of the Common Areas due to fire or any
other casualty or disaster, the Corporation shall promptly cause the same to be repaired and
reconstructed. The proceeds of insurance carried by the Corporation, if any, shall be applied to the
cost of such repair and reconstruction.
If the insurance proceeds, if any, received by the Corporation as a result of any such fITe or
any other casualty or disaster are not adequate to cover the cost of repair and reconstruction of the
Common Areas, or in the event there are no insurance proceeds, the cost for restoring the damage
and repairing and reconstruQ.ting the Common Areas so damaged or destroyed (or the costs thereof
in excess of insurance proceeds received, if any) shall be assessed by the Corporation against all of
the Owners in equal shares. Any such amounts assessed against the Owners shall be assessed as
part of the Common Expenses and shall constitute a lien from the time of assessment as provided
herein.
For purposes of this Article, repair, reconstruction and restoration shall mean construction
or rebuilding the Common Areas to as near as possible the same condition as they existed
immediately prior to the damage or destruction.
Immediately after a fIre or other casualty or disaster causing damage to any property fOf
which the Board of Directors or Corporation has the responsibility of maintenance and repair
hereunder, the Board shall obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the cost to place the damaged
property in a condition as good as that before the casualty. Such costs may include professional
fees and premiwns for such bonds as the Board of Directors desires or deems necessary.
Encroachments upon any Lot which may be created as a result of such reconstruction or
repair of any of the Common Areas shall not constitute a claim or basis of a proceeding or action by
Wondhall Declaration (3)
40
the Owner upon whose Lot such encroachment exists, provided that such reconstruction was either
substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications or as the Common Areas were
originally constructed.
