Violations ofRules,Regulations and By-Laws

When a written, signed complaint ofa violation is received by the management company,the property manager will make a determination ifa violation exists. If it is determined that a unit owner/resident may be in violation ofthese Rules and Regulations, the property manager will notify the unit owner/resident by mail detailing the noncompliance. To avoid penalties, the unit owner must:

1. Correct the non-compliance or, ifthe non-compliance cannot reasonably be corrected within seven(7)day,inform the manager in writing prior to expiration ofthe seven (7)day period,that the non-compliance will be corrected, stating a schedule to do so. Ifthe Unit Owner seeks a correction period longer than seven (7)days,the property manager will turn the matter over to the Board of Governors for determination. The Board may concur with the proposed schedule, or establish a schedule for compliance with the unit owner/resident.

2. Alternatively, the unit owner/resident may request a hearing before the Board to either request an exception, or to argue that he or she is in compliance. The decision ofthe Board to determine compliance, to grant or refuse an exception, and to establish a date for compliance, will be final.

If any non-compliance for any violation of the Master Deed, Rules and Regulations, or Trust Documents is not corrected with the time allowed, the unit owner/resident shall be billed a penalty of $10.00 (ten dollars) each day until the noncompliance is corrected. No additional notice needs to be sent.

Fines assessed pursuant to this section shall be due and payable with the next maintenance fee and if the non-compliance persists, with succeeding maintenance fees, legal fees and expenses incurred by the Association to enforce this section shall be borne by the unit owner/resident.

The unit owner/resident shall be charged the fine(s) on behalf oftheir guests and/or lessees in case of violation.

The Board of Governors, its agents, or its management company has the right to remedy any violation and charge the unit owner/resident responsible for any expense incurred. Fines that remain unpaid over 60 days, together with all costs and expenses of collections, including reasonable attorney fees, will constitute a lien on the unit as provided by Massachusetts General Law,Chapter 183A. Any rule found to be invalid does not invalidate any remaining rules in this document.

Condominium fees and all other applicable charges are due on the first day of each month with a fifteen (15)day grace period. Any and all payments received will be applied to the oldest charges first. Unit owners are required to send their payments in full and on time even if an invoice or coupon is not received.

Any unit owner whose payment has not been received in full and on time resulting in an outstanding balance of twenty five (S25.00) dollars or more, will automatically be assessed a late fee of twenty five ($25.00) dollars. A Notice of outstanding charges notice will be sent by the managing a gent shortly after the fifteenth(15)of each month, including any late fees and/or other charges that have been assessed to the account of each unit owner.

If any unit owner wishes to dispute any charge(s) on his/her account, except for condominium fees and/or Budget Amendments, then he/she must:

a) Pay the stated charges in full. Otherwise the unit owner's request to dispute the charge(s) will be denied and the charges will remain on the unit owner's account

b) Submit a written request within thirty (30) days of receipt of said notice stating why the disputed charges should be waived. Furthermore, it is the unit owner's responsibility to ensure that the managing agent has received such request and to find out when the next Board of Governors will meeting be held.

c) After receiving the unit owner's written request, the managing agent will acknowledge receipt of such request from the unit owner, as well as of the date of the next Board of Governor's meeting the request will be presented to the Board. In addition, the unit owner may attend the meeting in person to answer any questions from the Board. After the Board meeting,the managing agent will notify the unit owner in writing ofthe Board decision. Ifthe Board approves the unit owner's request, then the unit owner's account will be credited for that specific amount and the unit owner's next monthly invoice will reflect the credit, or if the Board denies the unit owner's request,the unit owner will be deemed to have exhausted all further appeals and will remit payment in full as originally invoiced.

d) The managing agent shall have no authority to waive late fees and/or any other charges without the approval ofthe majority ofthe Board of Governors.

These Revised Rules and Regulations are effective as of June ,2019 and will remain in force until rescinded or as amended by the Board of Governors.

4. Process and Procedure.

In the event of a violation of these rules, the Board may bring an action for declaratory relief with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or any court having jurisdiction over the matter. The Association shall he entitled to fines, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses if these rules are found to have been violated and if the unit owner or resident does not correct the violation within twenty-one (21) days of the finding of a violation.

8. If any of these provisions are ruled to be invalid, the remainder of these rules shall remain in full force and effect. In addition, if any of the provisions contained in this resolution are ruled to create unreasonable costs, unreasonable delay or prevention of an acceptable quality signal by a resident or unit owner in violation of the FCC Orders and Rules, then such provisions shall be void but the remainder of these rules shall remain in full force and effect.

9. The Board may amend this Resolution from time to time as it deems necessary.

10.This Resolution supersedes any Resolutions promulgated by the Trustees relating to antennas and satellite dishes and in the event of a conflict, this Resolution shall control and prevail.

In all other respects the Rules and Regulations as hereby amended by the Resolution are hereby ratified and affirmed.

As part of the common expenses, the Board of Governors shall include an amount estimated for the operation, care, upkeep, maintenance, repair, and replacement and financing of the Facility.

SECTION 2— PAYMENT OF COMMON CHARGES

All Unit Owners shall pay the monthly and special common charges when assessed by the Board of Governors, pursuant to the provisions of the By-Laws of the Association.

No Unit Owner shall be liable for the payment of any part of the common charges assessed against his Unit subsequent to a sale, transfer or other conveyance by him, duly recorded in the Middlesex South District Registry of Deeds, including conveyance to the Association.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any lien of the Association for common expense assessments or other charges becoming payable on or after the date or recordation of the first mortgage on any Unit shall be subordinate to said mortgage. In addition, any fees, late charges, fines or interest, which may be levied by the Association in connection with unpaid assessments, shall be subordinate to said mortgage.

B. A lien for common expense assessments shall not be affected by any sale or transfer of a Unit, except that a sale or transfer pursuant to a foreclosure of a first mortgage may extinguish a subordinate lien for assessments which became payable prior to such sale or transfer, subject to the applicable provisions of Chapter 183A, as amended. Any such delinquent assessments, which are so extinguished, may be reallocated assessed to all Unit estates as a common expense. Any such sale or transfer pursuant to a foreclosure shall not relieve the purchaser or transferee of a Unit from liability for, nor the Unit from the lien of, any assessment made thereafter. 24

26

may determine, provided that such use does not interfere with the use and enjoyment of any other Unit, which conditions may, without limitation, included a requirement that the Unit Owners so benefited pay, as additional common expenses, such costs of said common areas as the Board of Governors granting said exclusive use to require payment of any such costs as a condition of such exclusive use shall not preclude those Board of Governors, or any successor Governors, from imposing reasonable additional common expenses for the exclusive use of said common areas. Unless otherwise provided in writing signed by a majority of the Board of Governors and recorded with the Middlesex South District Registry of Deeds, such rights of exclusive use of common areas shall be personal to the Unit Owners to whom granted and shall terminate when such Unit Owners no longer own the Units so benefited.

SECTION 1- CONSTITUTION

Number of Governors: The number of governors which shall constitute the whole Board of Governors, shall be at lease three (3) and not more than five (5) persons as shall be determined by vote of Unit Owners entitled to not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the beneficial interest hereunder. Each Governor shall be a Unit Owner. In the event that a corporation or other legal entity is a member of the Association, it may designate one or more natural persons who shall be eligible to serve as governor. In any event, however, each governor shall hold office until such time as his successor has been elected and qualified, except in the event of death, resignation and suspension of membership or sale of the Unit in the Condominium, which renders such person ineligible to be governor.

Terms of Governors. The term of each Governor shall be for a period of two (2) years from the annual meeting of Unit Owners at which such Governor is elected. Such terms shall be on a staggered basis so that insofar as possible in each year the terms of approximately one half of the Governors will expire. (To that end, at the initial election at an annual meeting after adoption of this amendment, two Governors shall be elected for a term of one year and three Governors shall be elected for a term of two years, which shall be determined by lot). A Governor whose term has expired shall continue in office until a successor is elected or appointed as hereinafter provided.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF we, the undersigned being a majority of the Governors of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium Association having first received the affirmative vote of the Unit Owners entitled to at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 % %) of the Beneficial Interest have set our hands and seals this P11- day of r ,2008.

ARTICLE IX INSURANCE

SECTION 1. INSURANCE.

The Governors and the Unit Owners shall obtain and maintain the following insurance policies:

A. Casualty Insurance. The Governors shall obtain and maintain, to the extent reasonably obtainable and permitted by applicable law, socalled master policies of casualty insurance providing fire-with-extended coverage and so-called all risk coverage insurance, insuring the Condominium, including, without limitation, the Common Areas and Facilities, all of the Units with all fixtures, additions, alterations and improvements thereof, all heating and cooling equipment and other service machinery, apparatus, equipment and installations comprised in the Common Areas and Facilities, and also all such portions normally deemed to constitute part of the buildings and customarily covered by such insurance, but not including any furniture, furnishings or household and personal property belonging to and owned by individual Unit Owners or Tenants, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof (as that term is used for insurance purposes), subject to such reasonable deductible as the Governors may determine, and which shall include, if available at a reasonable cost, so-called Agreed Amount, Inflation Guard, Construction Code and Replacement Cost Endorsements. The Governors may purchase a so-called "blanket" policy covering all of the buildings, if there be more than one, if they deem it advisable. In determining full replacement value, the Governors may reasonably rely upon the advice of the insurer or their agent. The name of the insured under such policy shall be stated in form, substance and effect similar to the following: "Governors of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium Association for use and benefit of the Unit Owners of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium and their mortgagees as their interests may appear". Such insurance shall contain the standard mortgagee clause and shall name the Governors as Insurance Trustees for the use and benefit of all Unit Owners of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium and their mortgagees as their interest may appear, with losses payable to and adjusted by the Governors as Insurance Trustees in accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws. The Governors may insure against such other hazards or risks of casualty as the Governors from time to time in their discretion shall determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, vandalism, malicious mischief, windstorm and water damage, earthquake, flood and machinery explosion or damage.

2

B. Liability Insurance. The Governors shall obtain and maintain, to the extent obtainable and/or applicable, master policies of insurance with respect to the Common Areas and Facilities for the benefit and protection of the Association and all Unit Owners for:

(i) comprehensive public liability insurance in such limits as the Governors may, from time to time, determine but in no case less than $1,000,000/$1,000,000 in coverage, covering the Association, the Governors, the Property Manager, if any, and each Unit Owner with respect to liability arising out of ownership, maintenance or repair of the Common Areas and Facilities of the Condominium, such insurance providing for cross claims by the coinsureds, and containing a "severability of interest" endorsement which shall preclude the insurer from denying the claim of a Condominium Unit Owner because of negligent acts of the Association, the Governors or other Unit Owners, and other provisions commonly referred to as a "Special Condominium Endorsement" or its equivalent; (ii) workmen's compensation and employee's liability insurance; (iii) if applicable, boiler and machinery insurance in such limits as the Governors may, from time to time, determine but in no case less than $2,000,000 or the insurable value of the building(s) housing the boiler or machinery, whichever is less;

(iv) non-owned automobile liability insurance with the same limits as item (i) and (v) such other liability insurance as the Governors may from time to time deem appropriate and desirable, including non-owned automobile liability insurance.

C. Fidelity Coverage. The Governors shall obtain fidelity coverage against dishonest acts on the part of the Governors, the Property Manager, if any, employees or volunteers responsible for handling funds belonging to the Association or administered by the Governors. This fidelity insurance shall name The Villages at Quail Run Condominium Association as the named insured and shall be written in an amount equal to the maximum amount that will be in the custody of the Association at any one time, but in no event less than three months Common Expenses plus all reserves. In connection with such coverage, an appropriate endorsement to the policy to cover persons who serve without compensation shall be added if the policy would not otherwise cover volunteers.

D. Directors And Officers Liability Insurance. The Governors shall obtain Directors and Officers Liability Insurance in such amounts and upon such terms as they deem appropriate, but at least equal to their general liability policy limits provided above.

E. FHLMC And FNMA Insurance Requirements. If the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or the Federal National

3

Mortgage Association (FNMA) or any other so-called Secondary Mortgage Market Agency holds any interest in one or more mortgages on Units of which the Governors have received notice, the Governors shall obtain and maintain, to the extent reasonably obtainable, such other insurance as may be required from time to time by whichever of FHLMC, FNMA or other holds any interest in one or more mortgages on Units. All such policies shall be in such amounts and contain such terms as may be required from time to time by whichever of FHLMC, FNMA or other holds such interest.

F. Unit Owners' Insurance. Unit Owners shall carry insurance for their own benefit insuring their furniture, furnishings and other personal property located within their respective Units or its appurtenances, and for such as is not covered by the Condominium master policies - particularly any deductible — and that they ensure that the existence and application of the deductible on the Condominium master policy shall be treated as if there was no insurance coverage for the purposes of the application of any so-called other insurance clause on a Unit Owner's individual policy; provided that all such policies shall contain waivers of subrogation and further provided that the liability of the carriers issuing insurance obtained by the Governors shall not be affected or diminished by reason of any such additional insurance carried by any Unit Owner, or if so effected, it shall be deemed that the Unit Owners' insurance coverage has been assigned to the Association to the extent of such effect. Unit Owners shall in all events maintain liability insurance covering damage to the Property in such reasonable amounts as the Governors may determine and, upon request, provide evidence thereof to the Governors.

G. Terms And Conditions Of Policies. Policies for casualty insurance, and to the extent applicable, such other policies of insurance, shall provide:

(i) that the insurance company waive any right of subrogation against the Governors, their agents and employees, and the Unit Owners, their respective employees, agents, tenants and guests to the extent they are not specifically obligated hereunder; (ii) that the insurance shall not be prejudiced by any act or neglect of any Unit Owners or occupants or any other person or firm (including employees and agents of the Governors) when such act or neglect is not within the control of the Governors (or Unit Owners collectively) or by failure of the Governors (or Unit Owners collectively) to comply with any warranty or condition with regard to any portion of the premises over which the Governors (or Unit Owners collectively) have no control; (iii) that such policies may not be cancelled or substantially modified without at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice to all Unit Owners and mortgagees of Units to whom certificates of insurance have been issued; (iv) that recovery thereunder

4

shall not be affected on account of the availability of proceeds under any policies obtained by individual Unit Owners covering their Units; and (v) if obtainable, that the company shall waive any right it may have under the policy to repair or restore damage should the Unit Owners elect to terminate the Condominium because of such damage.

Such insurance policies may provide for a reasonable deductible from the coverage thereof as determined by the Governors in their sole discretion. In the event of any loss which relates in part to insurable portions of a Unit, or Units, and/or in part to the Common Elements, the Governors shall apportion the deductible amount directly proportional to the amount of such loss related to such Unit, or Units, and/or the amount of the loss related to the Common Areas and Facilities. Where such loss is solely to a Unit, the deductible amount shall be borne solely by the Unit Owner thereof. Where such loss is solely to the Common Elements, such shall be borne from the common funds. Additionally, all costs of adjusting and/or administering a loss shall be so apportioned and deducted from the insurance proceeds.

H. Insurance Appraisal. The Governors may obtain an appraisal of the full replacement cost of the property to be insured in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, without deduction for depreciation, for the purpose of determining the amount of insurance to be maintained pursuant to this Section and/or may rely thereon, or upon the advice of the Association's insurance agent as to the amount of necessary coverage. If the Governors in their discretion deem it necessary, they shall upon notification of improvements to be made to a Unit by a Unit Owner increase the insurance coverage afforded by said master policy.

I. Governors As Insurance Trustees. The Governors (i) shall have exclusive authority to negotiate all losses as herein provided for, (ii) shall collect and receive all loss insurance proceeds, and (iii) shall hold, use, apply and disburse the same in accordance with the applicable provisions of these By-Laws for the benefit of the Unit Owners and their respective mortgagees. With respect to losses which affect portions or elements covered by such insurance of more than one Unit and/or the Common Elements to different extends, the proceeds relating thereto shall be used, applied and disbursed by the Governors in their judgment in a fair and equitable manner, primarily based upon the relative losses.

J. Authorized Insurance Representative. Notwithstanding any of the forgoing provisions and requirements to the contrary relating to physical damage or liability insurance, there may be named as an insured, on behalf of the Governors, the Governors' authorized representative, including any Governor, with whom such Governors may enter into any Insurance Trust

5

Agreement or any successor to such Governors (each of whom shall be referred to herein as the "Insurance Trustee"), who shall have exclusive authority to negotiate losses under any policy providing such physical damage or public liability insurance. Each Unit Owner appoints the Governors, or any Insurance Trustee or substitute Insurance Trustee designated by the Governors, as his attorney-in-fact for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining and administering such insurance, including without limitation the collection and appropriate disposition of the proceeds thereof; the negotiation of losses and execution of releases of liability; the execution of all documents; and the performance of all other acts necessary to accomplish such purpose.

K. Notification Of Mortgagees. The Governors, shall, when requested by mortgagees of Units, give written notice to such mortgagees of such loss to the Common Areas and Facilities, or to the Unit mortgaged, as the mortgagee requests.

L. Certificates Of Insurance. Certificates of insurance with proper mortgagee endorsements, when requested, shall be issued to Unit Owners or their designees. The Governors may charge a reasonable fee for issuing such certificates.

M. Notification To Governors Of Improvements. Each Unit Owner shall notify the Governors in writing of all improvements to his/her Unit (except personal property other than fixtures) which exceed a total value of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars within twenty (20) days after the commencement of construction or installation of such improvement, and upon receipt of such notice, the Governors shall notify the insurer under any casualty policy obtained pursuant to this Section of such improvements and shall, if necessary, purchase additional casualty insurance in such amounts as may be required under this Section. Any premium increase caused by insuring such improvements may be assessed to the Owner of the improved Unit as a Common Expense attributable to such Unit. No Unit Owner shall be entitled to receive insurance proceeds for repair, replacement or restoration of any such improvement not so reported to the Governors, unless otherwise consented to the Governors.

N. Waiver Of Claims. To the extent the Governors maintain the casualty insurance herein provided for, the Unit Owners shall be precluded from making any claim against the Association and/or its Governors for property damage to the Units and/or the property of the Unit Owner kept within the Condominium and the Unit Owners shall look solely to such property insurance as they may personally maintain.

Condominium fees and all other applicable charges are due on the first day of each month with a fifteen (15) day grace period. Any and all payments received will be applied to the oldest charges first. Unit Owners are required to send their payments in full and on time even if an invoice or coupon is not received.

Any Unit Owner whose payment has not been received in full and on time resulting in an outstanding balance of Twenty Five (525.00) Dollars or more, will automatically be assessed a late fee of Twenty Five (525.00) Dollars. A Notice of Outstanding Charges ("Notice") will be sent by the Managing Agent shortly after the Fifteenth (151h) of each month, including any late fees and/or other charges that have been assessed to the account of each Unit Owner.

If any Unit Owner wishes to dispute any charge(s) on his/her account, except for Condominium Fees and/or Special Assessments, then he/she must:

I. Pay the stated charges in full. Otherwise the Unit Owner's request to dispute the charge(s) will be denied and the charges will remain on the Unit Owner's account.

After receiving the Unit Owner's written request, the Managing Agent will acknowledge receipt of such request to the Unit Owner, as well as the date when such request will be

ARTICLE IX INSURANCE

SECTION 1. INSURANCE.

The Governors and the Unit Owners shall obtain and maintain the following insurance policies:

A. Casualty Insurance. The Governors shall obtain and maintain, to the extent reasonably obtainable and permitted by applicable law, so-called master policies of casualty insurance providing fire-with-extended coverage and so-called all risk coverage insurance, insuring the Condominium, including, without limitation, the Common Areas and Facilities, all of the Units with all fixtures, additions, alterations and improvements thereof, all heating and cooling equipment and other service machinery, apparatus, equipment and installations comprised in the Common Areas and Facilities, and also all such portions normally deemed to constitute part of the buildings and customarily covered by such insurance, but not including any furniture, furnishings or household and personal properly belonging to and owned by individual Unit Owners or Tenants, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof (as that term is used for insurance purposes), subject to such reasonable deductible as the Governors may determine, and which shall include, if available at a reasonable cost, so-called Agreed Amount, Inflation Guard, Construction Code and Replacement Cost Endorsements. The Governors may purchase a so-called "blanket" policy covering all of the buildings, if there be more than one, if they deem it advisable. In determining full replacement value, the Governors may reasonably rely upon the advice of the insurer or their agent. The name of the insured under such policy shall be stated in form, substance and effect similar to the following: "Governors of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium Association for use and benefit of the Unit Owners of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium and their mortgagees as their interests may appear". Such insurance shall contain the standard mortgagee clause and shall name the Governors as Insurance Trustees for the use and benefit of all Unit Owners of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium and their mortgagees as their interest may appear. with losses payable to and adjusted by the Governors as Insurance Trustees in accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws. The Governors may insure against such other hazards or risks of casualty as the Governors from time to time in their discretion shall determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, vandalism, malicious mischief, windstorm and water damage, earthquake, flood and machinery or damage.

B. Liability Insurance. The Governors shall obtain and maintain, to the extent obtainable and/or applicable, master policies of insurance with respect to the Common Areas and Facilities for the benefit and protection of the Association and, all Unit Owners for:

(i) comprehensive public liability insurance in such limits as the Governors may, from time to time, determine but in no case less than $1,000,000/1,000,000 in coverage, covering the Association, the Governors; the Property Manager, if any, and each Unit Owner with respect to liability arising out of ownership, maintenance or repair of the Common Areas and Facilities of the Condominium, such insurance providing for cross claims by the co insureds, and containing a "severability of interest" endorsement which shall preclude the insurer from denying the claim of a Condominium Unit Owner because of negligent acts of the Association, the Governors or other Unit Owners, and other provisions commonly referred to as a "Special Condominium Endorsement" or its equivalent; (ii) worker's compensation and employee's liability insurance; (iii) if applicable, boiler and machinery insurance in such limits as the Governors may, from time to time, determine but in no case less than $2,000,000 or the insurable value of the building(s) housing the boiler or machinery, whichever is less; (iv) nonowned automobile liability' insurance with the same limits as item (1) and (y) such other liability insurance as the Governors may from time to time deem appropriate and desirable, including 'non-owned ' automobile liability insurance.

C. Fidelity Coverage. The Governors shall obtain fidelity coverage against dishonest acts on the part of the Governors, the Property Manager, if any, employees or volunteers responsible for handling funds belonging to the Association or administered by , the Governors. This fidelity insurance shall name The Villages At Quail Run Condominium Association as the named insured and shall be written in an amount equal to the maximum amount that will be in the custody of the Association at any one time, but in no event less than three months Common Expenses plus all reserves. In connection with such coverage, an appropriate endorsement to the policy to cover persons who serve without compensation shall be added if the policy would not otherwise cover volunteers.

D. Directors And Officers Liability Insurance. The Governors shall obtain Directors and Officers Liability Insurance in such amounts and upon such terms as they deem appropriate, but at least equal to their general liability policy limits provided above.

E. FHLMC And FNMA Insurance Requirements. If the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or any other socalled Secondary Mortgage Market Agency holds any interest in one or more mortgages on Units of which the Governors have received notice, the Governors shall obtain and maintain, to the extent reasonably obtainable, such other insurance as may be required from time to time by whichever of FHLMC, FNMA or other holds any interest in one or more mortgages on Units. All such policies shall be in such amounts and contain such terms as may be required from time to time by whichever of FHLMC, FNMA or other holds such interest.

F. Unit Owners' Insurance. Unit Owners shall carry insurance for their own benefit insuring their furniture, furnishings: and other personal property located within their respective Units or its appurtenances, and for such as is. not covered by the Condominium master policies - particularly any deductible - and that they ensure that the existence and application of the , deductible on the Condominium master policy shall be treated as if there was no insurance coverage for the purposes of the application of any so-called other insurance clause on a Unit Owner's individual policy; provided that all such policies shall contain waivers of subrogation and further provided that the liability of the carriers issuing insurance obtained by the Governors shall not be affected or diminished by reason of any such additional insurance carried by any Unit Owner, or if so effected, it shall be deemed that the Unit Owners' insurance coverage has been assigned to the Association to the extent of such effect. Unit Owners shall in all events maintain liability insurance covering damage to the Property in such reasonable amounts as the Governors may determine and, upon request, provide evidence thereof to the Governors.

G. Terms And Conditions Of Policies. Policies for casualty insurance, and to the extent applicable, such other policies of insurance, shall provide: (i) that the insurance company waive any right of subrogation against the Governors, their agents and employees, and the Unit Owners, their respective employees, agents, tenants and guests to the extent they are not specifically obligated hereunder; (ii) that the insurance shall not be prejudiced by any, act, or neglect of any: Unit Owners

or occupants or any other person or firm (including employees and agents of the Governors) when such act or neglect is not within the control of the Governors (or Unit Owners collectively) or by failure of the Governors (or Unit Owners collectively) to comply with any warranty or condition with regard to any portion of the premises over which the Governors (or Unit Owners collectively) have no control; (iii) that such policies may not be canceled or substantially modified without at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice to all, Unit Owners and mortgagees of Units to whom certificates of insurance have been issued; (iv) that recovery thereunder shall not be affected on account of the availability of proceeds under any policies obtained by individual Unit Owners covering their Units; and (v) if obtainable, that the company shall waive any right it may have under the policy to repair or restore damage should the Unit Owners elect to terminate the Condominium because of such damage. Such insurance policies may provide for a reasonable deductible from the coverage thereof as determined by the Governors in their 'sole discretion. In the event of any loss which relates in part to insurable portions of a Unit, or Units, and/or in part to the Common Elements, the Governors shall apportion the deductible amount directly proportional to the amount of such loss related to such Unit, or Units, and/or the amount of the loss related to the Common Areas and Facilities. Where such loss is solely to a Unit, the deductible amount shall be borne solely by the Unit Owner thereof. Where such loss is solely to the Common Elements, such shall be borne from the common funds. Additionally, all costs of adjusting and/or administering a loss shall be so apportioned and deducted from the insurance proceeds.

H. Insurance Appraisal. The Governors may obtain an appraisal of the full replacement cost of the property to be insured in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, without deduction for depreciation, for the purpose of determining the amount of insurance to be maintained pursuant to this Section and/or may rely thereon, or upon the advice of the Association's insurance agent as to the amount of necessary coverage. If the Governors in their discretion deem it necessary, they shall upon notification of improvements to be made to a Unit by a Unit Owner increase the insurance coverage afforded by said master policy.

Governors As Insurance Trustees. The Governors (i) shall have exclusive authority to negotiate all losses as herein provided for, (ii) shall collect and receive all loss insurance

proceeds, and (iii) shall hold, use, apply and disburse the same in accordance with the applicable provisions of these By-Laws for the benefit of the Unit Owners and their respective mortgagees respect to losses _which affect portions or elements covered by such insurance of more than one Unit and/or the Common Elements to different extends, the proceeds relating thereto 'shall be' used, applied and disbursed by the Governors in their judgment in a fair and equitable manner, primarily based upon the relative losses.

J. Authorized Insurance Representative. Notwithstanding any of the forgoing provisions and. requirements, to the contrary relating to physical damage or liability insurance, there may be named as an insured, on behalf of the Governors, the Governors' authorized representative, including any Governor, with whom such Governors may enter into any Insurance Trust Agreement or any successor to such Governors (each of whom shall be referred to herein as the "Insurance Trustee"), who shall have exclusive authority to negotiate losses under any policy providing such physical damage or public liability insurance. Each Unit Owner appoints the Governors, or any Insurance Trustee or substitute Insurance Trustee designated by the Governors, as his attorney-in-fact for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining and administering such insurance, including without limitation the collection and appropriate disposition of the proceeds thereof; the negotiation of losses and execution of releases of liability; the execution of all documents; and the performance of all other acts necessary to accomplish such purpose:

K. Notification Of Mortgagees, The Governors, shall, when requested by mortgagees of Units, give written notice to such mortgagees of such loss to the Common Areas and Facilities, or to the Unit mortgaged, as the mortgagee requests.

L. Certificates Of Insurance. Certificates of insurance with proper mortgagee endorsements, when requested, shall be issued to Unit Owners or their designees. The Governors may charge a reasonable fee for issuing such certificates.

M. Notification To Governors Of Improvements. Each Unit Owner shall notify the Governors in writing of all improvements to his/her Unit (except personal property, other than fixtures) which exceed a total value of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars within twenty (20). days after the commencement of construction or installation of such improvement, and upon receipt of such notice, the Governors shall notify the insurer under any casualty policy obtained pursuant to this Section of such improvements and shall, if necessary, purchase additional casualty insurance in such amounts

as may be required under this Section. Any premium increase caused by insuring such improvements may be assessed to the Owner of the improved Unit as a Common Expense attributable to such Unit. No Unit Owner shall be entitled to receive insurance proceeds for repair, replacement or restoration : of any such improvement not so reported to the Governors,, unless otherwise consented to the Governors.

N. Waiver Of Claims. To the extent the Governors maintain the casualty insurance herein provided for, the Unit Owners shall be precluded from making any claim against the Association and/or its Governors for property damage to the Units and/or the properly of the Unit Owner kept within the Condominium and the Unit Owners shall look solely to such property insurance as they may, personally maintain.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF we, the undersigned being a majority of the Governors of The Villages at Quail Run Condominium Association having first received the affirmative vote of the Unit Owners entitled to at least sixty-six and two thirds percent (66 2/3 %) of the Beneficial Interest have set our hands and seals this 21' day of January . 2009. , Governor

11) The Board had a discussion about electric vehicles at VQR since they are increasing in popularity. Electric or Hybrid vehicles are ok to plug in if they can use the 115V 15amp plug in your garage. VQR cannot support or accommodate fully electric vehicles that require 240V. The breaker box in each unit is rated for 125A 110V service. The maximum load can be 100 Amps. Also, the wire gauge in the unit and underground cannot support the 208/240V needed for charging vehicles. In order to support this all underground wiring would have to be changed, the Breaker box would need to be upgraded to 200A service and the meter boxes on the main panel would have to change.

The next Board meeting will be held at 9:00 A.M. on Tuesday 18 July 2023 at the Community Center.
