| (xxi) | all loading bays, docks and other areas. |
All Shared Facilities shall be subject to such regulation and restrictions as may be imposed from time to time by Shared Facilities Manager in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shared Facilities (1) include all areas and/or facilities comprising the Shared Facilities Unit, except for any areas or facilities, which, although located in or comprising a part of the Shared Facilities Unit, constitute Unit Exclusive Facilities; (2) include all of the airspace located outside the exterior of the Structures (irrespective of whether such airspace is part of a Unit); and (3) do not include (and expressly exclude) the Tower B Shared Facilities. The Shared Facilities (or portions thereof) may be graphically depicted on the Project Facilities Plans, but the failure of the Project Facilities Plans to identify or depict portions of The Properties as Shared Facilities shall not change the nature of such portions of The Properties as Shared Facilities. Shared Facilities Manager shall confirm whether specific areas or facilities are part of the Shared Facilities upon written request of any Owner to do so.

In the event that any Unit is submitted to the condominium or other collective form of ownership, it shall nevertheless be deemed a single Unit hereunder, as more particularly described in Section 8.7 of this Declaration. It is contemplated (but without imposing any obligation) that The Properties shall ultimately contain the following Units (but not all of the following need in fact be added to The Properties and the listing set forth below shall not limit Declarant’s right to create additional Units, eliminate any of the listed Units or change any Units): |
| (i) | the “Residential Unit” which is legally described and/or depicted on Exhibit “B” attached hereto; |
| (ii) | the “Tower A Commercial Unit” which is legally described and/or depicted on Exhibit “B” attached hereto; |
| (iii) | the “Hotel Unit” which is legally described and/or depicted on Exhibit “B” attached hereto, including without limitation the Tower B Shared Restrooms and the Encroachment Improvements; |

Declaration of Covenants
| (vvv) | “Unit Exclusive Facilities” shall mean and refer to those areas and/or facilities within one or more Units of The Properties (referred to herein as the “Burdened Unit”) that are intended for the benefit and exclusive use (subject to the rights, if any, of any Governmental Authority and Shared Facilities Manager) of the Owner of another Unit and/or the Condominium Units in such other Unit (referred to herein as the “Benefitted Unit”) to the exclusion of the Owners of the other Units. The Unit Exclusive Facilities shall be subject to such regulation and restrictions as may be imposed from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration. The Unit Exclusive Facilities shall include, as applicable and without limitation, the following areas and/or facilities, as and to the extent same exist from time to time and as modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time: |
| (i) | any drainage, utility, mechanical, electrical, telephonic, telecommunications, plumbing and other systems serving one Unit exclusively (but not any other Unit), including without limitation, all water and sanitary sewer system facilities, and all wires, conduits, pipes, ducts, transformers, cables, generators and other apparatus used in the drainage system and the delivery of the utility, mechanical, telephonic, telecommunications, electrical, plumbing and/or other services; |
| (ii) | any heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems serving one Unit exclusively (but not any other Unit), including, without limitation, compressors, air handlers, ducts, chillers, cooling towers and other apparatus used in the delivery of HVAC services; |
| (iii) | any lobbies, bicycle storage rooms and mail rooms serving one Unit exclusively (but not any other Unit); |

| (v) | all trash rooms and any and all trash collection and/or disposal systems serving one Unit exclusively (but not any other Unit), provided that any trash collection areas which terminate in the loading bay areas are subject to the control of and any restrictions imposed by Shared Facilities Manager; |
| (vi) | all Mechanical Rooms serving one Unit exclusively (but not any other Unit), including without limitation Fire Pump Rooms, Fire Command Rooms, Water Pump Rooms, Electrical Rooms, Generator Rooms, Fuel Tank Rooms, FPL Vault Rooms and pool equipment rooms; |

| (viii) | all monument, interior, exterior and/or other signage identifying a Unit exclusively (but not any other Unit) that is not part of the project-wide directional signage system and/or otherwise included in Shared Facilities. |
Declaration of Covenants
For the avoidance of doubt, the Unit Exclusive Facilities shall not include any areas and/or facilities of The Properties included in the Shared Facilities or Tower B Shared Facilities under this Declaration. However, although the Shared Facilities generally serve more than one Unit, the Shared Facilities may include certain areas and/or facilities that serve one Unit exclusively. This may be the case due to a variety of reasons, including, inter alia, the significance of the area and/or facility in question to the integrated nature of The Properties from a safety or aesthetic perspective and/or economic or other efficiencies that may be achieved by including such areas in the Shared Facilities. Accordingly, if and to the extent any areas and/or facilities of The Properties that serve only one Unit are included in the Shared Facilities, such areas and/or facilities shall not be part of (and shall be excluded from) the Unit Exclusive Facilities irrespective of whether same serve one Unit exclusively. The Unit Exclusive Facilities may be graphically depicted on the Project Facilities Plans, but the failure of the Project Facilities Plans to identify or depict portions of The Properties as Unit Exclusive Facilities shall not change the nature of such portions of The Properties as Unit Exclusive Facilities. Shared Facilities Manager shall confirm whether specific areas or facilities are part of the Unit Exclusive Facilities upon written request of any Owner of a Unit benefitted or burdened thereby to do so.
| (www) | “Unit Specific Declaration” shall mean the declaration of covenants, conditions, easements and/or restrictions and all other documents necessary or required to submit portions of The Properties to the condominium or cooperative form of ownership or other collective ownership structure, as amended and supplemented from time to time. To the extent that any portion of The Properties is subject to more than one Unit Specific Declaration, the Unit Specific Declaration encumbering the greatest portion of The Properties shall be deemed the Unit Specific Declaration hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such declarations. This Declaration is not and shall not be deemed a Unit Specific Declaration. |
| (xxx) | “Unit Specific Manager” shall mean any entity created or to be created to administer specific portions of The Properties and common areas or common elements lying within such portions pursuant to a Unit Specific Declaration. In instances where the Unit Specific Declaration references an association to govern the common elements and/or common areas of the Submitted Unit governed by the Unit Specific Declaration and does not have any other entity performing similar functions, then the Unit Specific Manager shall be the condominium or property owners’ association named in the applicable Unit Specific Declaration. To the extent that the Unit Specific Declaration does not establish an association to govern the common elements and/or common areas of the Submitted Unit governed by the Unit Specific Declaration, or establishes an association and another entity performing similar functions, then in such instances, the Unit Specific Manager shall be deemed to be the entity designated to perform such functions and not the named association, if any. In the event of any doubt as to the Unit Specific Manager for a particular Unit or under a particular Unit Specific Declaration, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the authority to make the determination, and the opinion of Shared Facilities Manager shall be binding and conclusive. |
| 1.2 | Interpretation. The provisions of this Declaration shall be interpreted by Shared Facilities Manager. Any such interpretation of Shared Facilities Manager which is rendered in good faith shall be final, binding and conclusive if Shared Facilities Manager receives the confirming consent of Declarant (to the extent Declarant is not the same entity as Shared Facilities Manager). The provisions of this Declaration shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes herein expressed with respect to the efficient operation of The Properties, the preservation of the values of the Units and Structures and the protection of Declarant’s and Shared Facilities Manager’s rights, benefits and privileges herein contemplated. As provided elsewhere in this Declaration, Shared Facilities Manager duties and obligations under this Declaration shall be subject in all events to receipt of funds necessary to perform same (through Assessments or as otherwise provided herein) and Shared Facilities Manager shall have no personal obligation to fund any sums needed to perform such duties and obligations. |
Declaration of Covenants
2. | PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THIS DECLARATION; ADDITIONS THERETO |
| 2.1 | Legal Description. The initial real property which is and shall be held, transferred, sold, conveyed and occupied subject to this Declaration is located in the County, and is more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof, all of which real property (and all improvements thereto), together with additions thereto, but less any withdrawals therefrom, is herein referred to collectively as “The Properties”. |
| 2.2 | Supplements to The Properties. Declarant may from time to time subject other land to the provisions of this Declaration by Supplemental Declarations, which shall not require the consent of the existing Owners or any mortgagee other than that, if any, of the land intended to be added to The Properties, and thereby add to The Properties and/or to any particular Unit (provided the joinder of the applicable Unit Owner is obtained). To the extent that such additional real property shall be made a part of The Properties, reference herein to The Properties shall be deemed to be a reference to all of such additional property where such reference is intended to include property other than that legally described in Exhibit “A”. Nothing herein, however, shall obligate Declarant to add any real property to the initial portion of The Properties, to develop any such future additional real property under a common scheme, nor to prohibit Declarant from rezoning, replatting, recording a covenant in lieu of unity of title and/or changing plans with respect to such future additional real property. A Supplemental Declaration may vary the terms of this Declaration by addition, deletion or modification so as to reflect any unique characteristics of a particular portion of The Properties identified therein; provided, however, that no such variance shall be directly contrary to the uniform scheme of development of The Properties. |
| 2.3 | Declarant’s Right to Modify Project Facilities. Subject to Section 2.6, Declarant shall have the right (but not the obligation), by Supplemental Declaration executed by Declarant and Shared Facilities Manager (and joined in by Declarant’s Mortgagee) to eliminate or supplement the Project Facilities by removing or adding additional facilities or to designate any additional portions of Paseo de la Riviera as Shared Facilities or Unit Exclusive Facilities hereunder (or redesignate any portion of same among any types of Project Facilities, whether from among the existing types, or any future type of Project Facilities which Declarant (together with Shared Facilities Manager) may elect to establish). Notwithstanding the designation of the Project Facilities, Declarant (together with Shared Facilities Manager) shall have the right, from time to time, to expand, alter, relocate and/or eliminate the Project Facilities, or any portion thereof, without requiring the consent or approval of any Owner, any Unit Specific Manager or any member/Owner of a Submitted Unit (including, without limitation, any and all owners or mortgagees of the Condominium Units, if any, established within any Unit). In furtherance of the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.6, Declarant also reserves the absolute right at any time, and from time to time, to construct additional facilities upon or adjacent to the Project Facilities and to determine whether same shall be deemed Shared Facilities or Unit Exclusive Facilities and/or the type of Shared Facilities (i.e. serving all Units or specific Units) or Unit Exclusive Facilities (i.e., serving a particular Unit exclusively). |
Declaration of Covenants
| 2.4 | Declarant’s Right to Withdraw Property. Subject to Section 2.6 Declarant reserves the right to amend this Declaration unilaterally at any time, without prior notice and without the consent of any person or entity (other than Declarant’s Mortgagee and the Owner(s) of the property being removed if other than Declarant), for the purpose of removing certain portions of The Properties (including, without limitation, Units, Unit Exclusive Facilities and/or Shared Facilities, or portions of any of the foregoing) then owned by Declarant or its affiliates from the provisions of this Declaration to the extent included originally in error or as a result of any changes whatsoever in the plans for The Properties desired to be effected by Declarant; provided, however, that such withdrawal is not unequivocally contrary to the overall, uniform scheme of development for The Properties. |
| 2.5 | Subdivision of Units. Subject to the provisions hereof, a Unit may be subdivided by Supplemental Declaration executed by the Declarant, Shared Facilities Manager and the Owner and any mortgagee of the subdivided Unit, without the consent of any other existing Owners or mortgagees. To the extent that any Unit shall be subdivided, reference herein to the Units shall be deemed to include all of the Units, including the newly subdivided Units, unless otherwise indicated in the Supplemental Declaration. All Owners, by acceptance of a deed or other conveyance of their Units, shall be deemed to have automatically consented to any such subdivision of other Units, and shall evidence such consent in writing if requested to do so by Declarant, Shared Facilities Manager or the Owner of the subdivided Unit at any time (provided, however, that the refusal to give such written consent shall not obviate the general and automatic effect of this provision). Any Supplemental Declaration effectuating a subdivision of a Unit as contemplated herein shall describe with particularity the extent to which each portion of the subdivided Unit shall have use rights in and to the Project Facilities (and/or be liable for any costs relating to the Project Facilities). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provision is not intended to apply to the subdivision of a Unit through a Unit Specific Declaration, which shall be governed by the other provisions of this Declaration applicable to collective ownership structures. |
| 2.6 | Limitations on Supplements, Modifications and Withdrawal by Declarant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5, Declarant shall not remove, alter, relocate, re-designate or subdivide any portion of The Properties or the Project Facilities to the extent that same will result in the denial to any Owner or any Condominium Unit Owner of legal pedestrian and/or vehicular access (direct or by easement) to and from the Owner’s Unit or shall result in the termination of any utility and/or mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, life safety, monitoring, information and/or other systems located in and/or comprising the Project Facilities and serving said Owner’s Unit, or shall compromise the structural integrity of the Structure or otherwise impair the easements of support granted herein (without otherwise providing reasonably equivalent substitutions for same). Furthermore, no such removal, alteration, relocation or re-designation shall (a) encumber or materially affect any portion of The Properties not previously encumbered or affected by such Project Facilities without the consent or joinder of the Owner(s) of such portion (if other than Declarant) and its or their mortgagee(s), or (b) eliminate or materially and adversely affect Unit Exclusive Facilities without the consent or joinder of the Owner of the applicable Benefitted Unit (if other than Declarant) and its mortgagee(s). |
Declaration of Covenants
| 2.7 | Modification of Project Facilities by Shared Facilities Manager. Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation), by Supplemental Declaration executed by Shared Facilities Manager and Declarant’s Mortgagee to supplement the Project Facilities by adding additional facilities or to designate additional portions of Paseo de la Riviera as Project Facilities hereunder (or redesignate any portion of same among any types of Project Facilities, whether from among the existing types, or any future type of Project Facilities). Notwithstanding the designation of the Shared Facilities or Unit Exclusive Facilities, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right, from time to time, to expand, alter, relocate and/or eliminate the Project Facilities, or any portion thereof, without requiring the consent or approval of any Owner, any Unit Specific Manager or any member/Owner of a Submitted Unit (including, without limitation, any and all owners or mortgagees of any Condominium Units established within any Unit). Shared Facilities Manager shall have the further right to designate portions of the Shared Facilities (including without limitation elevators, trash facilities and loading bay areas) as exclusive to particular Unit(s), and/or to designate special use and/or priority rights with respect to any portion of the Shared Facilities to particular Units, and/or to establish rules and regulations with respect to any portion of the Shared Facilities, including without limitation rules prohibiting Owners or Condominium Unit Owners from accessing particular Shared Facilities with pets, limiting the hours of operation and allocating exclusive or non-exclusive use rights to the Units during particular periods of time and with respect to particular Shared Facilities (including without limitation elevators, trash facilities and loading bay areas). No such alteration, relocation, elimination or re-designation by Shared Facilities Manager hereunder shall deny any Owner legal pedestrian access (direct or via easement) to and from the Owner’s Unit, nor terminate any utility and/or mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, life safety, monitoring, information and/or other systems located in and/or comprising the Project Facilities and serving said Owner’s Unit, nor compromise the structural integrity of the Structure or otherwise impair the easements of support granted herein (without otherwise providing equivalent substitutions for same). Furthermore, no such removal, alteration, relocation or re-designation by Shared Facilities Manager shall (a) encumber or materially affect any portion of The Properties not previously encumbered or affected by such Project Facilities without the consent or joinder of the Owner(s) of such portion and its or their mortgagee(s), or (b) eliminate or materially and adversely affect Unit Exclusive Facilities without the consent or joinder of the Owner of the applicable Benefitted Unit and its mortgagee(s). The foregoing shall not, however, preclude the temporary cessation of services as reasonably necessary to effect repairs to any such systems. |
| 2.8 | Designation of Project Facilities. Without limiting the generality of Section 1.2, in the event that Shared Facilities Manager determines, in its reasonable judgment, that a particular portion of The Properties is or is not part of the Project Facilities or a specific type thereof (i.e., Shared Facilities or Unit Exclusive Facilities), such determination shall be binding and conclusive. Furthermore, in the event of any doubt, conflict or dispute as to whether any portion of The Properties is or is not part of the Shared Facilities or Unit Exclusive Facilities under this Declaration, Shared Facilities Manager may, without the consent of any Unit Specific Manager or then existing Owners or mortgagees, record in the public records of the County, a Supplemental Declaration resolving such issue and such Supplemental Declaration executed by Shared Facilities Manager and Declarant (if separate legal entities) shall be dispositive and binding. |
| 2.9 | Legal Description of Units. The legal descriptions and graphic depictions of the Units in this Declaration may be adjusted and/or modified to comport to as-built Structures and to correct manifest errors. The legal descriptions and graphic depictions of the affected Units shall be modified by Supplemental Declaration executed by Declarant, Shared Facilities Manager, the Owner of the affected Units and its or their mortgagees (without the consent of any other Owners or mortgagees). All Owners, by acceptance of a deed or other conveyance of their Units, shall be deemed to have automatically consented to any such modification of the legal descriptions and graphic depictions for the purposes provided herein, and shall evidence such consent in writing if requested to do so by Declarant, Shared Facilities Manager or the Owner of the affected Units at any time. Moreover, each Owner shall be and is hereby deemed to have appointed Declarant as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any instruments or documents on its behalf that may be necessary or desirable to effect any of the foregoing actions, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and is deemed to be coupled with an interest. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 2.10 | Unification of Certain Units. Notwithstanding that each of the Residential Unit and Parking Unit is a separate Unit under this Declaration, the Owner of such Units may at any time encumber such Units with a unity of title or other similar instrument, the effect of which is to require that title to the Residential Unit and Parking Unit must be owned by a single Owner and utilized as a single Unit, subject to the prior written consent or joinder of the holder of (a) any Mortgage against such Units, and (b) a security interest in the membership interests in the Owners of such Units, but only if such security interest was in effect at the time of the recordation of this Declaration. In the event that ownership and utilization of the Residential and Parking Unit is unified in a single Owner as hereinabove provided, such unification of the Residential Unit and Parking Unit may be terminated and released by written instrument executed by the Owner of such Units, without the consent, joinder or agreement of any other Owner. Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict the Owner of the Residential Unit or Parking Unit from submitting its Unit or portions thereof to the condominium or cooperative form of ownership or other collective ownership structure and allowing for the sale of individual units therein as elsewhere provided in this Declaration, provided that, in such event, references in this Section 2.10 to Owner of such Units shall mean the Unit Specific Manager for such Submitted Units. |
3. | GENERAL RIGHTS AND EASEMENTS IN PROJECT FACILITIES |
| 3.1 | Rights and Easements in Shared Facilities. Subject to all of the other provisions of this Declaration, each Owner of a portion of The Properties (including, if applicable, any Condominium Unit Owner and its and their Permitted Users), shall have limited rights to use, benefit from and enjoy the Shared Facilities (as same may exist from time to time) for their intended purposes (as reasonably determined by Shared Facilities Manager) in common with all other Owners of a portion of The Properties (and their Permitted Users), but in such manner as may be reasonably regulated by Shared Facilities Manager and in accordance with Legal Requirements. A non-exclusive easement is hereby reserved (and declared and created) over, under and upon such portions of the Shared Facilities as may be designated, in writing, from time to time by Shared Facilities Manager for the use, benefit and enjoyment of any Shared Facilities that may be constructed thereon from time to time in favor of all Unit Owners, including Condominium Unit Owners, and their Tenants and Permitted Users. |

The Owners of the Benefitted Units shall have easements with respect to the Unit Exclusive Facilities serving such Benefitted Units as more particularly described in Section 4.8. |

Additionally, Shared Facilities Manager reserves the right from time to time to (i) limit the right to use certain Shared Facilities and/or Unit Exclusive Facilities (such as, by way of example and not limitation, Mechanical Rooms, elevators, trash facilities and loading bay areas) to Owners only, or to Owners and Condominium Unit Owners only, and not their Tenants, vendors, service providers or other Permitted Users, (ii) to designate portions of the Shared Facilities as exclusive to particular Units, and/or (iii) to designate special use and/or priority rights with respect to any portion of the Shared Facilities to particular Units. |
| (d) | The right of Shared Facilities Manager to engage third parties (such as property management companies, consultants and other vendors) to perform and carry out its obligations under this Declaration (or in furtherance thereof) and/or any ongoing obligations under the Project Encumbrances, the cost of which shall be included in Shared Facilities Costs. |
| (e) | The right of Shared Facilities Manager to have and use, and to require the Unit Owners to grant to Shared Facilities Manager, general (“blanket”) and specific easements over, under and through the Shared Facilities and/or the Unit Exclusive Facilities as necessary or desirable to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Declaration. |

Declaration of Covenants
| 3.4 | Easements Appurtenant. The rights and easements provided in this Article 3 shall be appurtenant to and shall pass with the title to each Unit benefitted thereby, but shall not be deemed to grant or convey any ownership interest in the Shared Facilities or the Unit Exclusive Facilities subject thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any systems, equipment and other facilities located within or comprising the Unit Exclusive Facilities, to the extent installed by the Owner of the Benefitted Unit served thereby, shall be deemed to be the property of such Benefitted Unit Owner as provided in Section 6.8. |
| 3.5 | Project Facilities Rules and Regulations. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.3, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to establish, from time to time, rules and regulations regarding the easements granted herein and/or the use of the Shared Facilities and Unit Exclusive Facilities, including, without limitation, rules and regulations (a) allocating exclusive or non-exclusive use rights to the Units or Phases during particular periods of time and/or with respect to particular Shared Facilities, and (b) granting the right to temporarily close or restrict use of Project Facilities, as Shared Facilities Manager may reasonably determine, whether for maintenance purposes, due to an emergency situation or event of force majeure, for security reasons or for any other purpose expressly permitted under this Declaration or otherwise; provided, however, that in no event shall any Owner (including, without limitation, Condominium Unit Owners and/or their Tenants and/or other Permitted Users) be denied legal access to and from a publicly dedicated street and the applicable Unit/Condominium Unit. |
| 3.6 | Use of Roofs. Notwithstanding the inclusion of roofs within the Shared Facilities or certain Units, Declarant hereby reserves and grants to Shared Facilities Manager the exclusive right to regulate and approve the use of the roof surfaces and/or the placement or installation of any structures, facilities or improvements on the roof of any Structure within The Properties, including without limitation (a) signs or antennas, dishes or any other receiving, transmitting, monitoring and/or other equipment or facilities of any kind or nature, (b) solar equipment, (c) areas for public or private access, such as rooftop decks or patios, and (d) utilities and enclosures for rooftop utilities, such as HVAC and other mechanical equipment, all as Shared Facilities Manager may deem necessary, desirable or acceptable from time to time, without requiring approval from any Owner (except, with respect to roofs above a Structure that are part of a Unit and not the Shared Facilities, the approval of the Owner of such Unit shall also be required), but subject to compliance with all Legal Requirements, the Project Encumbrances, Insurance Requirements, the Project Standard and such rules and regulations as may be established from time to time by Shared Facilities Manager. Expenses incurred by Shared Facilities Manager in connection with the use of the roof shall be borne by the Unit Owner benefitted by such use, provided that if such use benefits more than one Unit, then such expenses shall be included in Shared Facilities Costs or allocated to the Units so served as reasonably determined by Shared Facilities Manager. Any consideration paid or received for such rooftop installations shall be the sole property of the Owner of the Unit upon which same have been installed. If a commercial use is made of any roof that does not benefit any of the Units, the costs incurred in connection with such commercial use (such as the installation of equipment) shall not be borne by the Unit Owners. To the extent services are provided to any Unit (or portion thereof) or Condominium Unit within a Unit from rooftop facilities or equipment (such as antennas or dishes providing telecommunications services), such Unit or Condominium Unit shall be responsible for the charges therefor, unless same are billed to Shared Facilities Manager, in which case Shared Facilities Manager shall allocate to or among the Units in the same manner as other expenses incurred by Shared Facilities Manager under this Section. |

All such signage and artwork shall be subject to and comply with Legal Requirements, the Project Standard, Project Encumbrances, guidelines and criteria adopted from time to time by Shared Facilities Manager for Paseo de la Riviera (and the applicable Unit Owner with respect to its Unit), and such rules and regulations as may be established from time to time by Shared Facilities Manager. Any consideration paid or received for signage located on the exterior façade of any Unit shall be the sole property of the applicable Unit Owner upon which same have been installed. No Owner of a Unit shall place or install any signage within the interior of or on the exterior of any other Unit without the prior written consent of the Owner of the Burdened Unit and Shared Facilities Manager, whereupon such signage shall be deemed part of the Unit Exclusive Facilities of the Benefitted Unit. Once interior or exterior signage has been approved by the Owner of the Burdened Unit and Shared Facilities Manager as hereinabove provided, the Owner of the Benefitted Unit shall have the right and obligation to access, maintain, repair and replace such signage as part of the Unit Exclusive Facilities hereunder; subject, however, to any conditions of such approval and Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to install directional signage as part of the project-wide directional signage system, other project identification signage and other signage that may be required by Legal Requirements on the exterior façade and/or within the public areas of any individual Unit; provided, however, that such signage shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the affected Unit and shall be consistent with the Project Standard. |

To the extent the alteration requires access to or affects areas or facilities that benefit another Unit, the Unit Owner performing such alteration shall provide reasonable advance written notice to the Owner of such affected Unit and shall coordinate and stage all work with such Owner, subject to any reasonable rules and security measures required by such Owner. The Owners shall work together in good faith to effect the intent of this provision. |
Declaration of Covenants

| (f) | To the extent any alteration requires plans under applicable Legal Requirements or plans are otherwise prepared, the Unit Owner performing such alteration shall provide copies of the as-built plans to Shared Facilities Manager (and, if the alteration affects areas or facilities located in or that benefit another Unit, to the Owner of such Unit). |
| (g) | All costs associated with any alteration hereunder shall be promptly and fully paid for by the Unit Owner performing same. Without limiting the foregoing, no Owner shall permit any liens to attach to another Unit or the Project Facilities as a result of its work and the Owner performing the alteration shall either bond over or pay and discharge any lien so attaching within twenty (20) days after the earlier of notice of the lien or demand by the Owner of such other Unit or Shared Facilities Manager. Any Unit Owner whose act or omission forms the basis for a lien on another Unit shall indemnify and save the Owner of such Unit and Shared Facilities Manager harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting therefrom. If a Unit Owner shall fail to obtain within such twenty (20) day period the requisite release or transfer of any lien claim, then Shared Facilities Manager (or the Owner of the liened Unit, if Shared Facilities Manager does not pursue same) may, at its option, secure the release of the lien claim by any means available, including bonding or settlement, whereupon the defaulting Unit Owner shall, within ten (10) days after demand, reimburse Shared Facilities Manager or the other Unit Owner, as applicable, for the latter’s costs and expenses incurred in securing the lien release, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Interest shall accrue at the Default Rate on the amount of any such reimbursement obligation not paid within ten (10) days after demand. Notices by any party under this paragraph shall be provided to Shared Facilities Manager, the Owner performing the alteration and any Owner of a liened Unit. |
| (h) | The Unit Owner performing the alteration shall be solely liable for all costs and expenses, and any Losses, incurred, caused or occasioned by its acts or omissions, the acts or omissions of its Permitted Users, as well as the acts or omissions of its contractors, service providers, agents and representatives who cause any damage to any other Unit (or any portion thereof), and shall indemnify and hold the Owner of such damaged Unit, any affected Condominium Unit Owner, Shared Facilities Manager, Declarant and Declarant’s Mortgagee, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, tenants, mortgagees, contractors, agents and affiliates (as applicable), harmless from and against any and all Losses in any way whatsoever connected with the alteration contemplated herein. |
| (i) | In addition to the foregoing, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to establish non-discriminatory rules and restrictions on any and all persons performing alterations with respect to any Unit, including, without limitation, restricting the hours during which construction and/or repair work may be performed (including limiting jack hammers and other noisy work to specific hours designated by Shared Facilities Manager), imposing noise abatement requirements, restricting access of contractors to certain areas, designating specific staging areas, restricting access by trucks and construction vehicles, and requiring a security deposit or other collateral to protect against damage to the Shared Facilities or any Structure that may be caused during such work, which rules and regulations may be modified from time to time. Such rules may also establish procedures and standards for the submission and review of any matter that requires Shared Facilities Manager’s approval, and for inspection and final approval of any completed work pursuant to an approval of Shared Facilities Manager hereunder. In addition, in order to assure that all work by any Owner is performed to the Project Standard, each Unit Owner agrees to contract with Shared Facilities Manager and/or a vendor or contractor first approved by Shared Facilities Manager to perform any alteration hereunder. |
Declaration of Covenants
| (j) | With respect to any alterations, improvements or other work in progress, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to establish requirements and guidelines for the protection of all such work in progress from acts of God and other force majeure events such as (but not limited to) hurricanes, floods, acts of terrorism or war, civil disturbances and other events that would reasonably be anticipated to damage such work in progress or impact same in a way that would potentially threaten or place at risk the health, safety or welfare of any Owner or Permitted User or the property of any of the foregoing, or adversely impact other portions of The Properties. |
| 5.4 | Review of Alterations. Each Owner desiring to make any alterations for which approval of Shared Facilities Manager must be obtained shall submit all plans and specifications for the proposed alteration to Shared Facilities Manager. Shared Facilities Manager may condition its approval as it deems appropriate, and may require submission of additional plans and specifications (or more detailed plans and specifications); studies, reports and/or evaluations and any other materials from pre-approved consultants and other professionals confirming and detailing the potential effects (whether short-term or long-term) of such alterations on the Shared Facilities or any other portion of The Properties; and/or other information prior to approving or disapproving the material submitted. Review of any plans and specifications relating to alterations and any other activities of Shared Facilities Manager in connection with any Owner’s alterations shall be solely and exclusively for Shared Facilities Manager’s benefit. No person shall, under any circumstances, be a beneficiary of Shared Facilities Manager’s requirements hereunder. Shared Facilities Manager may freely waive any of its requirements hereunder at any time if, in Shared Facilities Manager’s sole discretion, it desires to do so. In particular, but without limitation, Shared Facilities Manager makes no representations and assumes no obligations to any Owners or any third parties concerning the quality of the construction of any alterations. In addition, Shared Facilities Manager shall not be liable to any Owner or its Permitted Users or any other party for any Losses suffered or claimed by any Owner or its Permitted Users or any other party on account of any defects in such plans, or the failure of such plans or the alterations to comply with the Project Encumbrances, any Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirement. Any approval tendered by Shared Facilities Manager shall under all circumstances be interpreted in a manner consistent with this limitation of Shared Facilities Manager’s liability. With respect to any alterations that require Shared Facilities Manager’s approval under this Article, each Owner shall pay Shared Facilities Manager a construction oversight fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of the alterations, provided that if such cost exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) the construction management fee shall be equal to three percent (3%) of such total costs to compensate Shared Facilities Manager’s for its services. In addition, each Owner shall promptly upon request therefor reimburse Shared Facilities Manager for the amount of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by it (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and reasonable fees and expenses of any architects, engineers and other design professionals) in connection with Shared Facilities Manager’s response to any requested approval of any proposed alterations. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 5.5 | Unit Exclusive Facilities. The Owner of the Burdened Unit shall not make alterations to the Unit Exclusive Facilities within the Burdened Unit, or to the Burdened Unit that would impede in any material way the Benefitted Unit Owner’s use of the Unit Exclusive Facilities or the benefits afforded by them, without the prior written consent of the Owner of the Benefitted Unit served thereby, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Owner of the Benefitted Unit shall not make alterations to the Unit Exclusive Facilities serving it that would have a material adverse effect (as described in subsection 5.2(g)) on the Burdened Unit in which such facilities are located with the consent of the Owner of such Burdened Unit, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
| 5.6 | Consent to Alterations. In any instance where an Owner’s or Shared Facilities Manager’s approval or consent is required under this Article 5, the request for approval or consent shall state, in bold, upper case letters and 14 point or larger font at the top of the first page of such request, that “THIS IS ______________’S [INSERT NAME OF REQUESTING OWNER] REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OR CONSENT UNDER THE DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND EASEMENTS FOR PASEO DE LA RIVIERA DATED [________________], 20__.

Any request shall be accompanied by all information required hereunder or reasonably requested by such Owner and Shared Facilities Manager (as applicable) to evaluate the requested alteration (and the requesting party shall supplement its request with such additional information as needed to comply with the foregoing). Approval or consent shall be deemed granted hereunder if the affected Owner and Shared Facilities Manager (as applicable) fail to object or deny such approval or consent within thirty (30) days after such request is made and all additional information requested is received. |

Shared Facilities Manager shall have the power to incur, by way of contract or otherwise, expenses general to all or applicable portions of The Properties, or appropriate portions thereof, and Shared Facilities Manager shall then have the power to allocate portions of such expenses among the Unit Owners and/or the Unit Specific Managers, based on such formula as may be adopted by Shared Facilities Manager or as otherwise provided in this Declaration or any Supplemental Declaration. The portion so allocated to a Unit Specific Manager shall be deemed a general expense thereof, collectible through its own assessments. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for Assessments by non-use (whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Shared Facilities or abandonment of the right to use the Shared Facilities. |

Shared Facilities Manager may waive its right to approve vendors hereunder at any time if, in Shared Facilities Manager’s sole discretion, it desires to do so. In addition, Shared Facilities Manager’s failure to enforce the requirements set forth in this subsection shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or restrict Shared Facilities Manager’s right to enforce same in the future, nor shall Shared Facilities Manager be liable to any Owner or its Permitted Users or any third parties on account of such failure to enforce such requirements. |
| (c) | Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to delegate maintenance responsibilities for certain portions of Shared Facilities (such as, by way of example and not limitation, landscaping, roofs, signage and the like) located within, appurtenant to or designated for the exclusive use of any Unit or Units to the Owner(s) of such Unit or Units on a temporary or permanent basis as may be determined by Shared Facilities Manager.

Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict the right and ability of any Unit Owner who has been delegated maintenance responsibilities hereunder for any portion of the Shared Facilities to agree to perform (or cause the performance of) such maintenance obligations jointly or on a cooperative basis. |

The Owner having failed to perform its maintenance duties shall be liable to Shared Facilities Manager for the costs of performing such remedial work and shall pay a surcharge of not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of the applicable remedial work, all such sums being payable upon demand and to be secured by the lien provided for in Article 15 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Shared Facilities Manager shall have all of the same rights to bring an action at law against the Owner having failed to perform its maintenance duties, to record a claim of lien against such Owner’s Unit, to foreclose such lien, and/or to exercise any and all other remedies under this Declaration or applicable law, as are available to Shared Facilities Manager with respect to an Owner’s failure to pay any Assessments under Article 15 hereof. No bids need be obtained for any of the work performed pursuant to this Section and the person(s) or company performing such work may be selected by Shared Facilities Manager in its sole discretion.

| 7.12 | Post Tension Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, inasmuch as the improvements constructed within The Properties have utilized post tension cables and/or rods, absolutely no penetration shall be made to any floor, roof or ceiling slabs without the prior written consent of Shared Facilities Manager and review of the as-built plans and specifications for such improvements to confirm the approximate location of the post tension cables and/or rods. The plans and specifications for such improvements shall be maintained by Shared Facilities Manager. Each Owner, by accepting a deed or otherwise acquiring title to a Unit or Condominium Unit shall be deemed to: (i) have assumed the risks associated with post tension construction, and (ii) agree that the penetration of any post tension cables and/or rods may threaten the structural integrity of the improvements. Each Owner hereby releases Shared Facilities Manager, Shared Facilities Owner and Declarant, its and their partners, contractors, architects, engineers, and its and their officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, from and against any and all liability that may result from penetration of any of the post tension cables and/or rods. |
| 7.13 | Hurricane Evacuation Procedures. Upon notice of approaching hurricanes, all furniture, plants and other movable objects must be removed from any sidewalks, balconies, terraces and/or other outdoor areas. IN THE EVENT THAT AN EVACUATION ORDER IS ISSUED BY ANY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, ALL OWNERS MUST PROMPTLY COMPLY WITH SAID ORDER. Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right from time to time to establish hurricane preparedness and evacuation policies, and each Owner shall fully comply with same (and shall cause its Tenants and other Permitted Users to do so as well). |
| 7.14 | Pool Deck Restrictions. The Residential Unit Owner shall be bound by and comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of the City (including without limitation the City’s Codes and Ordinances) and any other applicable Governmental Authority relating to noise and nuisance, and shall implement and enforce policies, rules, regulations and limitations with respect to noise and nuisance on the pool deck and other Amenities Areas located within its Unit in accordance with such Legal Requirements. The Residential Unit Owner agrees to include binding provisions in its rental or other occupancy agreements with Tenants and other Permitted Users of the Residential Unit to compel enforcement of such policies, rules, regulations and limitations. The Residential Unit Owner further agrees to install and maintain a sound-attenuating fabric and/or other sound dampening material as well as shrubbery concealing such fabric or material from view along the southern perimeter of the Amenities Area located within the Residential Unit. Shared Facilities Manager shall also have the right, from time to time, to establish rules and regulations regarding the use and operation of the pool decks and other Amenities Areas within the Units, including without limitation provisions limiting noise and lighting on pool decks (e.g., limiting lighting to downcast lighting only after certain hours) and permitted hours of use/operation, provided same are implemented and enforced in a non-discriminatory manner with respect to all pool decks and other comparable Amenities Areas located on The Properties. In the event the Residential Unit Owner fails to maintain and operate its pool deck or other Amenities Areas in accordance with this provision or any such rules and regulations, Shared Facilities Manager shall have all rights and remedies available to it under this Declaration, including Section 6.10 and Article 9 hereof. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 7.15 | Additional Restrictions. Declarant may from time to time impose additional restrictions on The Properties or any portion thereof by Supplemental Declaration executed by Declarant and Shared Facilities Manager without the consent or joinder of any person or entity (other than Declarant’s Mortgagee and the Owner(s) of the encumbered property if other than Declarant), whereupon such additional restrictions shall encumber and be binding upon the portions of The Properties stated therein. |
| 7.16 | Variances. Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right and power to grant variances from the provisions of this Article 7 and from Shared Facilities Manager’s rules and regulations for good cause shown, as determined in the reasonable discretion of Shared Facilities Manager. Grounds for granting a variance may include, without limitation, changes in circumstances, Legal Requirements, other construction or uses on The Properties or nearby land, or bona fide good faith error in submission or review of documents or materials. In considering requests for variances, Shared Facilities Manager may take into account the pattern of development, consistency in treatment of requests for variances, and the relationship between the cost to the Owner of the variance not being granted and the importance of the covenant from which a variance is being sought. Shared Facilities Manager may require the submission of such documents and items (including, without limitation, written request for and a detailed description of the variance requested), as it reasonably considers appropriate, in connection with its consideration of a request for a variance. If Shared Facilities Manager approves such request for a variance, Shared Facilities Manager shall evidence such approval, and grant its permission for such variance, only by written instrument, addressed to the Owner of the portion of The Properties relative to which such variance has been requested, describing the applicable covenant(s) and the particular variance requested, expressing the decision of Shared Facilities Manager to permit the variance, describing (when applicable) the conditions (which may be affirmative and/or negative in nature) on which the variance has been approved signed by Shared Facilities Manager. Any request for a variance will be considered disapproved for the purposes hereof in the event of either (a) written notice of disapproval from Shared Facilities Manager; or (b) failure by Shared Facilities Manager to respond to the request for variance within thirty (30) days following its submission. Any variance granted or denied by Shared Facilities Manager shall not preclude Shared Facilities Manager from granting or denying a variance in any other circumstance, and no variance granted as aforesaid shall alter, waive or impair the operation or effect of the provisions of this Article 7 in any instance in which such variance is not granted, nor shall same alter, waive or impair the operation or effect of any restrictions, requirements or provisions contained in any Project Encumbrances then in effect (which shall remain in full force and effect unless and until a waiver or variance is granted in accordance with the provisions thereof). Shared Facilities Manager shall not be liable to any Owner, Permitted User or any other party with regard to any variance granted hereunder, nor shall Shared Facilities Manager be responsible for the failure of any Owner, Permitted User or any other party to comply with the provisions of this Article 7. |
| 7.17 | Non-Conversion Provision. Each Owner, by acceptance of a deed or other conveyance of any portion of The Properties, shall be deemed to understand, covenant and agree that it will not designate, or convert, any Unit or other portion of The Properties to residential condominium form of ownership prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the statute of repose set forth in Section 95.11(3)(c), Florida Statutes, or (ii) December 31, 2030 (the “Non-Conversion Termination Date”). Declarant may (but shall not be obligated to) record a separate restrictive covenant against The Properties that prohibits the conversion of any portion of The Properties into residential condominium form of ownership through the Non-Conversion Termination Date. Additionally, if any Owner sells its Unit to a third party prior to the Non-Conversion Termination Date, such Owner shall record a restrictive covenant against the Unit that prohibits the conversion of the Unit into residential condominium form of ownership through the Non-Conversion Termination Date, at the time such Owner closes on the sale of its Unit. The form of restrictive covenant shall be provided to Declarant and Shared Facilities Manager for review and approval prior to recordation of same, with the final recorded restrictive covenant to be provided to Declarant and Shared Facilities Manager promptly following recordation in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. Each Owner shall indemnify and hold Shared Facilities Manager, Declarant and Declarant’s Mortgagee, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, tenants, mortgagees, contractors (including without limitation the general contractor, architect and engineers who furnished services in connection with the initial construction of the Structures), agents and affiliates (as applicable), harmless from and against any and all Losses in any way whatsoever arising out of or connected with such Owner’s failure to comply with the terms of this Section. The Non-Conversion Termination Date is not a fixed date under Section 95.11(3)(c), Florida Statutes and is dependent upon certain conditions. Once the Non-Conversion Termination Date is known, can be determined or actually occurs, Declarant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to record notice of such date and/or modifications or extensions of such date as Declarant deems appropriate, by Supplemental Declaration or other recorded instrument. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 7.18 | Declarant Exemption. In order that the development of The Properties may be undertaken and The Properties established as a fully occupied community, no Owner, nor any Unit Specific Manager shall do anything to interfere with Declarant’s activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Declaration shall be understood or construed to: |
| (a) | Prevent Declarant, its successors or assigns, or its or their contractors or subcontractors, from doing on any property owned by them whatever they determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the completion of the development of The Properties, including without limitation, the alteration of its construction plans and designs as Declarant deems advisable in the course of development and/or enlargement (and in that regard, all models or sketches showing plans for development of The Properties, as same may be expanded, may be modified by Declarant at any time and from time to time, without notice); or |
| (b) | Prevent Declarant, its successors or assigns, or its or their contractors, subcontractors or representatives, from erecting, constructing and maintaining on any property owned or controlled by Declarant, or its successors or assigns or its or their contractors or subcontractors, such structures as may be reasonably necessary for the conduct of its or their business of completing said development and establishing The Properties as a community and disposing of the same by sale, lease or otherwise; or |
| (c) | Prevent Declarant, its successors or assigns, or its or their contractors or subcontractors, from conducting on any property owned or controlled by Declarant, or its successors or assigns, its or their business of developing, subdividing, grading and constructing improvements in The Properties and of disposing of Units and/or Structures therein by sale, lease or otherwise; or |
| (d) | Prevent Declarant, its successors or assigns, from determining in its sole discretion the nature of any type of improvements to be initially constructed as part of The Properties and/or on other real property subsequently added to The Properties; or |
| (e) | Prevent Declarant, its successors or assigns or its or their contractors or subcontractors, from maintaining such sign or signs on any property owned or controlled by any of them as may be necessary in connection with the operation of any Units owned by Declarant (its successors or assigns) or the sale, lease or other marketing of Units and/or Structures, or otherwise from taking such other actions deemed appropriate; or |
Declaration of Covenants
| (f) | Prevent Declarant, or its successors or assigns from filing Supplemental Declarations which modify or amend this Declaration, or which add or withdraw additional property as otherwise provided in this Declaration; or |
| (g) | Prevent Declarant from subdividing any Unit owned by it into more than one Unit, or submitting any Unit(s) owned by it (or any Unit(s) created by such subdivision) and/or any improvements within any such Unit(s) to the condominium or cooperative or other collective form of ownership; or |
| (h) | Prevent Declarant from modifying, changing, re-configuring, removing or otherwise altering any improvements located within The Properties. |
In general, Declarant shall be exempt from all restrictions set forth in this Declaration to the extent such restrictions interfere in any matter with Declarant’s plans for construction, development, use, sale or other disposition of The Properties or any part thereof.
| 8. | SHARED FACILITIES MANAGER AND UNIT SPECIFIC MANAGERS |
| 8.1 | Preamble. In order to ensure the orderly development, operation and maintenance of The Properties as a unified project, including the Units subject to the administration of Unit Specific Managers as integrated parts of The Properties, this Article has been promulgated for the purposes of (a) giving Shared Facilities Manager certain powers to effectuate such goal, (b) providing for intended (but not guaranteed) economies of scale, (c) establishing the framework of the mechanism through which the foregoing may be accomplished, and (d) requiring special types of covenants to accurately reflect the maintenance and use of Units where certain types of improvements are constructed within The Properties. Nothing contained herein shall necessarily suggest that Declarant will or will not, in fact, construct particular types of improvements nor shall anything herein contained be deemed an obligation to do so. |
| 8.2 | Cumulative Effect; Conflict. The covenants, restrictions and provisions of this Declaration shall be cumulative with those of the Unit Specific Declarations for Submitted Units and Shared Facilities Manager may, but shall not be required to, enforce the latter; provided, however, that in the event of conflict between or among this Declaration and such Unit Specific Declarations, or any articles of incorporation, bylaws, rules and regulations, policies or practices adopted or carried out pursuant thereto, those of the Unit Specific Declarations shall be subject and subordinate to this Declaration. The priority of this Declaration shall apply to, but not be limited to, the payment of and liens for assessments created in favor of Shared Facilities Manager and the Unit Specific Managers as provided for herein. As to any Unit Specific Manager which is a condominium association, no duties of the association hereunder shall be performed or assumed by Shared Facilities Manager if Legal Requirements require that such duties be performed by the Unit Specific Manager. |
| 8.3 | Compliance with Declaration. Each Unit Specific Manager shall: |
| (a) | include in its annual budget an aggregate annual amount sufficient to pay its allocated share of Shared Facilities Costs under this Declaration as common expenses, and levy regular and special assessments against the Condominium Units in the Submitted Unit sufficient to pay as and when due such aggregate annual amount of common expenses owed by it under this Declaration; |
Declaration of Covenants
| (b) | levy and collect special assessments against the Condominium Units in the Submitted Unit sufficient to cover any other monetary obligation of the Unit Specific Manager under this Declaration, including without limitation payment obligations under any indemnities, the obligation to pay Taxes, the cost of any required maintenance and repairs, the amount of any shortfall in Insurance Proceeds from a casualty or the award from a condemnation, reimbursement obligations after a default by the Unit Specific Manager or Submitted Unit and the like; |
| (c) | comply with each and every obligation under this Declaration applicable to the Owner of its Unit; and |
| (d) | cause each Condominium Unit Owner to comply with the terms and conditions of this Declaration and the applicable Unit Specific Declaration (to the extent not in conflict with the terms hereof), and take any and all action available to such Unit Specific Manager under such Unit Specific Declaration, at law and in equity (including without limitation an action for specific performance and seeking injunctive relief) to ensure that each such Condominium Unit Owner complies with the terms and conditions of this Declaration and such Unit Specific Declaration (to the extent not in conflict with the terms hereof). |
| 8.4 | Collection of Assessments; Payment Priority. The Unit Specific Managers shall, initially, collect all assessments and other sums due Shared Facilities Manager and the applicable Unit Specific Manager from the Condominium Unit Owners and/or other members of the Submitted Unit. The Unit Specific Manager will remit the assessments so collected to the respective payees pursuant to such procedures as may be adopted by the Unit Specific Manager, provided that the sums so collected by the Unit Specific Manager shall be applied first to the Assessments of Shared Facilities Manager and then to the assessments of the collecting Unit Specific Manager and other payees in payment of the obligations for which such sums were so collected. For the avoidance of doubt, any sums collected by a Unit Specific Manager shall be applied in the foregoing order of priority irrespective of any other obligations or liabilities whatsoever of the Unit Specific Manager. |
Subject to the priority of disbursements of collected lump sums as provided above, all regular and special assessments, interest, late charges, recovered costs of collection and other extraordinary impositions shall be remitted to the respective entity imposing same separate and apart from the priorities established above. All fidelity bonds and insurance maintained by a Unit Specific Manager shall reflect any duties performed by it pursuant hereto and the amounts to be received and disbursed by it and shall name Shared Facilities Manager as an obligee/insured party for so long as its Assessments are being collected and remitted by the Unit Specific Manager. Shared Facilities Manager may, from time to time by sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the affected Unit Specific Manager(s), change the procedures set forth in this Section 8.4 in whole or in part. In the event of any change in Assessment collection procedures elected to be made by Shared Facilities Manager, the relative priorities of assessment remittances and liens (i.e., Shared Facilities Manager first and the applicable Unit Specific Manager last) shall nevertheless still remain in effect, as shall Shared Facilities Manager’s ability to modify or revoke its elections from time to time.
| 8.5 | Additional Expense Allocations. In addition to the other expenses payable by Unit Specific Managers hereunder, Shared Facilities Manager may, by written notice given to the affected Unit Specific Manager at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Unit Specific Manager’s fiscal year, allocate and assess to the Unit Specific Manager a share of the expenses incurred by the Shared Facilities Unit Owner or Shared Facilities Manager (as applicable) which are reasonably allocable to the Unit Specific Manager and/or the portion of The Properties within its jurisdiction (e.g., for utilities which are billed to the Shared Facilities Unit Owner or Shared Facilities Manager, but serve in certain instances, only a Submitted Unit). In such event, the expenses so allocated shall thereafter be deemed common expenses of the Submitted Unit payable by the Unit Specific Manager (with assessments collected from the Condominium Unit Owners and/or other members of the Submitted Unit) to Shared Facilities Manager. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 8.6 | Non-Performance of Unit Specific Manager Duties. The following provisions shall apply in the event of non-performance by a Unit Specific Manager of its duties hereunder: |
| (a) | In the event of a failure of a Unit Specific Manager to comply with any of its obligations hereunder, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the same rights against the Unit Specific Manager, any Condominium Unit Owners and/or other members of the Submitted Unit, and its and their Permitted Users, as are available to Shared Facilities Manager with respect to other Owners and their Permitted Users under this Declaration, including without limitation Article 9. |
| (b) | In the event of a failure of a Unit Specific Manager to budget or assess the Condominium Unit Owners or other members of the Submitted Unit for expenses as provided under Sections 8.3 or 8.5, or to remit to Shared Facilities Manager all amounts collected by it for payment of such Unit Specific Manager’s Assessments, then, in addition to (and without waiving) any other right or remedy available to Shared Facilities Manager under this Declaration, at law or in equity, Shared Facilities Manager shall be entitled to pursue and specially assess the Condominium Unit Owners or other members of the Unit Specific Manager and their Condominium Units directly for the sums due (such special assessments, as all others, to be secured by the lien provided for in this Declaration). |
| (c) | In addition to the foregoing, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2 of this Declaration, in the event that any Unit Specific Manager fails to perform any duties delegated to, or required of, it under this Declaration, or to otherwise be performed by it pursuant to its own Unit Specific Declaration, articles of incorporation, bylaws or related documents, which, in the case of the Unit Specific Declaration (or related governing documents), constitutes a breach by the Unit Specific Manager of its duties under this Declaration, and such failure continues for a period in excess of thirty (30) days after Shared Facilities Manager’s giving notice thereof, then Shared Facilities Manager may, but shall not be required to, assume such duties. In such event, the Unit Specific Manager shall not perform such duties unless and until such time as Shared Facilities Manager directs it to once again do so. Alternatively, Shared Facilities Manager may apply for the appointment of a receiver in accordance with Legal Requirements to take control of the responsibilities of the Unit Specific Manager, and Shared Facilities Manager shall be entitled to the appointment of such a receiver as a matter of right, who shall perform the obligations of the Unit Specific Manager under this Declaration and the Unit Specific Declaration as necessary to comply with the terms hereof. In such event, the receiver shall have all rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Florida and any other applicable Legal Requirements, subject to the approval of the court in any receivership proceeding. |
Declaration of Covenants
| (d) | Shared Facilities Manager shall be entitled to inspect the books and records of any Unit Specific Manager, including without limitation ownership and financial records, as necessary or desirable to exercise and/or enforce its rights under this Section 8.6. |
| 8.7 | General Provisions Regarding Submitted Units. The following general provisions shall apply to Submitted Units: |
| (a) | As provided in Section 1.1 of this Declaration, a single Unit or Structure shall not lose its character as such for the purposes of this Declaration by virtue of being subdivided into condominium, cooperative or other collective ownership Condominium Units by a Unit Specific Declaration. As also provided in Section 1.1, the Unit Specific Manager for a Unit/Structure submitted to such form of ownership shall be deemed to be the Owner of such Submitted Unit, even though same may not actually be the owner of the Unit/Structure (or any portion thereof). Notwithstanding the fact that the Unit Specific Manager of a Submitted Unit shall be deemed to be the Owner of such Submitted Unit, the easements of use and enjoyment granted hereunder to Owners shall be deemed to also be granted to the constituent members of the Submitted Unit and the owners of the various portions of the applicable Submitted Unit (and their Tenants and other Permitted Users as and to the extent permitted under this Declaration and the Unit Specific Declaration governing the Submitted Unit). |
| (b) | For the purposes of complying with and enforcing the standards of maintenance contained herein, the building comprising the Submitted Unit shall be treated as a Structure, with the Unit Specific Manager to have the maintenance duties of an Owner with respect to such Structure and any appurtenant facilities as set forth herein. |
| (c) | Each Unit Specific Manager shall be jointly and severally liable with the Condominium Unit Owners in its Unit for any violation of the use restrictions set forth in this Declaration or of rules and regulations of Shared Facilities Manager. Each Unit Specific Manager shall also be liable and responsible for its compliance and the compliance by the Condominium Unit Owners in its Submitted Unit (and its and their Permitted Users) with the covenants, restrictions and requirements of this Declaration. Accordingly, while Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right (exercisable at its sole option) to proceed against each Condominium Unit Owner for a violation of this Declaration, it shall also have a direct right to do so against the Unit Specific Manager (even if the violation is not caused by the Unit Specific Manager or by all of the Condominium Unit Owners). |
| (d) | With respect to a Submitted Unit that is a condominium, assessments levied hereunder against such Submitted Unit shall be but a single lien on the entirety of such Unit and shall be payable by the Owner thereof (i.e., the Unit Specific Manager therefor), but same shall not be deemed to be a common expense of such condominium. Notwithstanding the provisions of 718.121(3) of the Florida Statutes, inasmuch as this Declaration and the lien created hereby shall be recorded prior to the recording of any relevant Unit Specific Declaration, it is intended that 718.121(1) of the Florida Statutes shall not be operative as to such lien and each applicable Condominium Unit Owner of a Submitted Unit that is a condominium shall be deemed to have ratified and confirmed same by the acceptance of the deed to such Condominium Unit. |
| 8.8 | Multiple Unit Specific Declarations. To the extent that any portion of The Properties is subject to more than one Unit Specific Declaration, the rights of Shared Facilities Manager hereunder shall be cumulative and shall apply with respect to all Unit Specific Managers under such Unit Specific Declarations. |
Declaration of Covenants
9. | COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT |
| 9.1 | Compliance by Owners. Every Owner and its Tenants and Permitted Users shall comply with the restrictions and covenants set forth herein and any and all rules and regulations which from time to time may be adopted by Shared Facilities Manager (as to the Project Facilities or with respect to Paseo de la Riviera). To the extent the rules and regulations adopted by Shared Facilities Manager from time to time are more restrictive than the rules adopted by Unit Specific Managers, the rules and regulations of Shared Facilities Manager shall control. |
| 9.2 | Enforcement. Failure of an Owner and its Tenants and/or other Permitted Users to comply with such restrictions, covenants or rules and regulations shall be grounds for immediate action which may include, without limitation, an action to recover sums due for damages, an action for specific performance or seeking injunctive relief, or any combination thereof. Following such breach, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to suspend such Owner’s (and its Tenants’ and/or other Permitted Users’) rights of use of Project Facilities; provided, however, that no Owner shall be denied (i) legal pedestrian access to and from the Owner’s Unit and/or Condominium Units, as applicable, or (ii) use of any utility and/or mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, life safety, monitoring, information and/or other systems located in the Shared Facilities or the Unit Exclusive Facilities and serving said Owner’s Unit and/or Condominium Unit, as applicable, or (iii) the use and benefit of the easements of support granted herein (without otherwise providing equivalent substitutions for same). The offending Owner (whether such offense be caused by the Owner, a Condominium Unit Owner or its or their Permitted Users) shall be responsible for all costs of enforcement including attorneys’ fees actually incurred and court costs (and including fees incurred in bankruptcy or probate proceedings, if applicable, and through any applicable appeals). |
| 9.3 | Fines. In addition to all other remedies, and to the maximum extent lawful, in the sole discretion of Shared Facilities Manager, a fine or fines may be imposed upon an Owner for failure of an Owner, a Condominium Unit Owner or their respective Tenants and/or other Permitted Users to comply with any covenant, restriction, rule or regulation applicable to the Project Facilities, if such failure continues for a period in excess of five (5) business days after giving notice thereof to such Owner. In such event, Shared Facilities Manager may impose a fine, relating back to the initial date of the breach, in the amount of $250.00/day from the initial occurrence of the breach for the first breach and $500.00/day from the initial occurrence of the subsequent breach for each subsequent breach; subject, however, to (and in all cases not to exceed) the maximum limits permitted by law from time to time. Fines shall be paid not later than five (5) days after notice of the imposition or assessment of the penalties. Fines shall be treated as an Assessment subject to the provisions for the collection of Assessments, and the lien securing same, as set forth herein. All monies received from fines shall be allocated as directed by Shared Facilities Manager. The foregoing fines shall not be construed to be exclusive, and shall exist in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Shared Facilities Manager may be otherwise entitled under this Declaration, at law or in equity; provided, however, any penalty paid by the offending Owner shall be deducted from or offset against any damages which Shared Facilities Manager may otherwise be entitled to recover under applicable Legal Requirements from such Owner. |
| 9.4 | Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies set forth in this Article are in addition to any and all rights and remedies available at law, in equity and/or permitted under any other provision of this Declaration, all of which are intended to be, and shall be, cumulative. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 10.1 | Mortgagee Protection. The following provisions are added hereto (and to the extent these added provisions conflict with any other provisions of the Declaration, these added provisions shall control): |
| (a) | Shared Facilities Manager shall be required to make available to all Owners and the holder of any mortgage (a “Mortgage”) on any Unit, and to insurers and guarantors of any such Mortgage, for inspection, upon written request, during normal business hours or under other reasonable circumstances, current copies of this Declaration (with all amendments). |
| (b) | Any holder, insurer or guarantor of a Mortgage on a Unit shall be entitled, upon written request, to receive notice from Shared Facilities Manager of (i) an alleged material default by the Owner of such Unit in the performance of such Owner’s obligations under this Declaration, including without limitation the failure to pay Assessments on such mortgaged Unit, which default is not cured within sixty (60) days after Shared Facilities Manager has actual knowledge of such default, (ii) any condemnation or casualty loss affecting a substantial portion of the Shared Facilities, (iii) the occurrence of a lapse, cancellation or substantial modification of any insurance policy or fidelity bond maintained by Shared Facilities Manager, and (iv) any proposed action which requires the consent of a specified number of Mortgage holders, if any. |
| (c) | Any holder, insurer or guarantor of a Mortgage on a Unit shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay Assessments and/or other charges that are delinquent and have resulted or may result in a lien against any portion of such Unit and receive reimbursement from its mortgagor. |
| (d) | Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage and related documents (and to the extent permitted by applicable law), any holder, insurer or guarantor of a Mortgage on a Unit shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay the Taxes and/or other Tax-related costs allocated to such Unit that are delinquent and have resulted or may result in a lien against such Unit and, in any such case, receive reimbursement from its mortgagor. |
| (e) | Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage and related documents (and to the extent permitted by applicable law), any holder, insurer or guarantor of a Mortgage on a Unit shall have the right (but not the obligation) to procure the insurance required of the Owner of such Unit under this Declaration and to perform such Owner’s maintenance and other obligations hereunder, and to receive reimbursement of costs incurred in connection therewith from its mortgagor. |
| (f) | Any holder, insurer or guarantor of a Mortgage on a Unit shall be entitled, upon written request, to estoppel certificates as contemplated by Sections 15.10 and 16.6. |
| (g) | Each Owner of a Burdened Unit agrees to cooperate with any reasonable requests for notice from any holder, insurer or guarantor of a Mortgage on a Benefitted Unit with respect to the Unit Exclusive Facilities located in such Burdened Unit and serving such Benefitted Unit, provided that such requests (for notice or otherwise) are comparable to the notices and information required to be provided by Shared Facilities Manager under the foregoing provisions. |
Declaration of Covenants
Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict the rights and remedies of Shared Facilities Manager under this Declaration in the event of a default by any Owner, Condominium Unit Owner or Unit Specific Manager.
11. | INSURANCE ON SHARED FACILITIES AND UNITS |
| 11.1 | Insurance. Insurance obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Article 11 shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Article. |
| 11.2 | Purchase, Custody and Payment. |
| (a) | Purchase. All insurance policies required to be obtained by Shared Facilities Manager hereunder shall be issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in Florida or by surplus lines carriers offering policies for properties in Florida, and shall be rated in the latest edition of Best’s Insurance Guide (or its successor, and if such guide becomes unavailable, then a comparable rating guide selected by Shared Facilities Manager) not less than A-:VIII (or its reasonable equivalent). Said policies must otherwise satisfy the requirements of the mortgage held by Declarant’s Mortgagee on the date hereof as well as the ongoing insurance requirements under the Project Encumbrances that are the responsibility of the Shared Facilities Unit Owner or Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to the terms thereof or this Declaration. |
| (b) | Named Insured. The named insured under the property insurance policies to be maintained by Shared Facilities Manager shall be Shared Facilities Manager, (i) individually (or such designee as may be designated by Shared Facilities Manager), (ii) as agent for the Owners of the Units covered by the policies, without naming them, and (iii) as agent for the holders of any mortgage on a Unit, without naming them, except as otherwise provided herein. The Owners and the holders of any mortgage on any Unit (if required by the holder thereof) shall be named additional insureds with respect to all liability policies maintained by Shared Facilities Manager to the extent permitted by industry standards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Declarant’s Mortgagee shall be named an additional insured on all liability policies and a loss payee on all property insurance (including windstorm and flood) policies maintained by Shared Facilities Manager. The foregoing shall not, however, preclude the inclusion by Shared Facilities Manager of others as additional insureds. |
| (c) | Custody of Policies and Payment of Proceeds. All policies obtained by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article 11 shall provide that payments for losses made by the insurer shall be paid to Shared Facilities Manager, as agent and attorney-in-fact in accordance with Section 11.8, and Declarant’s Mortgagee (if required by Declarant’s Mortgagee), as their interests may appear. |
| (d) | Copies to Mortgagees. One copy of each insurance policy, or a certificate evidencing such policy, and all endorsements thereto, shall be furnished by the insurer upon request by the policy holder to the holders of any mortgage on a Unit or a Condominium Unit. Copies or certificates shall be furnished not less than ten (10) days prior to the beginning of the term of the policy, or not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each preceding policy that is being renewed or replaced, as appropriate. |
Declaration of Covenants
| (e) | Personal Property and Liability. Except as specifically provided herein, Shared Facilities Manager shall not be responsible to Owners to obtain insurance coverage upon the property lying within the boundaries of their respective Units, including, but not limited to, any Owner’s personal property, nor insurance for any Owners’ personal liability and expenses, nor for any other risks not otherwise required to be insured in accordance herewith. |
| 11.3 | Coverage. Shared Facilities Manager shall maintain insurance covering the following: |
| (a) | Property. The Shared Facilities Unit, together with all fixtures, building service equipment, personal property and supplies constituting the Shared Facilities and the Structure and roofs of the Hotel Unit and Amenities Areas (collectively the “Insured Property”), shall be insured for the full replacement value thereof to the extent commercially practicable and available at commercially reasonable rates, subject to industry standard exclusions and excluding costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings; provided, however, that Windstorm, Flood, Earthquake and other insurance for extraordinary hazards or special coverages may be in amounts that reflect maximum probable loss or other commercially reasonable amounts for the Market Area that are less than full replacement value as may be determined from time to time by Shared Facilities Manager, subject to industry standard exclusions.

Such policies may contain reasonable deductible provisions as determined by Shared Facilities Manager, subject to the requirements of Declarant’s Mortgagee. Such coverage shall include Equipment Breakdown Insurance, “Ordinance or Law Coverage,” including coverage for loss to the undamaged portion of the building, demolition costs and increased costs of construction if any of the Insured Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, and shall afford protection against loss or damage by fire and other hazards covered by an “all-risk” policy form, and such other risks as reasonably determined by Shared Facilities Manager from time to time are customarily covered with respect to the buildings, improvements, fixtures and other building equipment, similar to the Insured Property in construction, location and use, including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, subject in all cases to industry standard exclusions. In addition, if any portion of the Insured Property is currently (or at any time in the future is) located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” Shared Facilities Manager shall obtain and maintain flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program as governed by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, with a reasonable deductible determined by Shared Facilities Manager (but not greater than an amount equal to the maximum available under the foregoing laws), and with such excess limits as reasonably determined by Shared Facilities Manager. |
| (b) | Liability. Commercial general liability written on an “occurrence basis” (rather than a “claims basis”) covering loss or damage resulting from any legal liability related to the Insured Property, with a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and a general aggregate limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or such greater amounts as shall be required by Shared Facilities Manager. |

| (i) | Other Insurance. Such other or greater insurance as is required by the mortgage held by Declarant’s Mortgagee as of the date hereof, as well as such other insurance as Shared Facilities Manager shall determine from time to time to be desirable in connection with the Shared Facilities. Subject to Declarant’s Mortgagee’s insurance requirements, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to adjust from time to time the coverage, deductibles and limits/sublimits of all policies of insurance required by this Section 11.3 based on the coverage, deductibles and limits/sublimits typically maintained by owners and required by mortgagees of similar properties in the Market Area. In the event an Owner (or the holder of a Mortgage against its Unit) desires that Shared Facilities Manager maintain additional coverage and/or higher limits than those maintained by Shared Facilities Manager hereunder, then such Owner may request that Shared Facilities Manager obtain and maintain such additional coverages and/or higher limits, at the sole cost and expense of the Owner making such request. |
Declaration of Covenants
Any Owner may, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain additional insurance coverage for the Insured Property (whether the same as or in addition to the insurance described above), provided that the maintenance thereof by such Owner shall not (i) reduce such Owner’s obligation to pay its share of the premiums for the insurance policies maintained by Shared Facilities Manager allocated to its Unit hereunder, or (ii) adversely impact Shared Facilities Manager or any Owner in terms of insurance coverage, expense, reconstruction after casualty or otherwise. In such event, Shared Facilities Manager shall be named as a loss payee on such property insurance (including windstorm and flood) policies maintained by such Owner. Any Owner who procures and maintains additional insurance coverage for the Insured Property under this provision shall provide Shared Facilities Manager with prior written notice of the intent to obtain such insurance and evidence of same (and the renewal or replacement thereof) promptly following the issuance of the policy(ies).
When appropriate and obtainable, each of the foregoing policies shall waive the insurer’s right to: (i) as to property insurance policies, subrogation against Shared Facilities Manager and against the Owners individually and as a group, (ii) pay only a fraction of any loss in the event of coinsurance or if other insurance carriers have issued coverage upon the same risk (and the amount of the insurer’s liability under such policies shall not be reduced by the existence of any other insurance), and (iii) avoid liability for a loss that is caused by an act of Shared Facilities Manager or one or more Owners (or any of its or their respective employees, contractors and/or agents) or as a result of contractual undertakings. Additionally, each policy shall provide that the insurance provided shall not be prejudiced by any act or omissions of individual Owners that are not under the control of Shared Facilities Manager.
| 11.4 | Additional Provisions. All policies of insurance shall provide that such policies may not be canceled or substantially modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to all of the express named insureds, including their respective mortgagees, provided that only ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation due to nonpayment of premium. Prior to obtaining any policy of property insurance or any renewal thereof, Shared Facilities Manager may (and, not less than once every thirty-six (36) months, shall) obtain an appraisal from a fire insurance company, or other competent appraiser, of the full insurable replacement value of the applicable Insured Property (exclusive of foundations and excavation costs), without deduction for depreciation, and recommendations from its insurance consultant as to limits/sublimits for such coverage, for the purpose of determining the amount of insurance to be effected pursuant to this Article. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the insurance coverage required of Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article 11 may be provided through (i) subject to the agreement of Shared Facilities Manager, with respect to property insurance only, a master policy that covers the Insured Property and property insurance required of the Owners (or any one of them) under this Declaration, provided that the cost of such master policy shall be allocated by Shared Facilities Manager, with the assistance of Shared Facilities Manager’s insurance consultant, between the coverage required of Shared Facilities Manager hereunder and such other coverage of the other Owners, and/or (ii) at Shared Facilities Manager’s option, a blanket policy that covers the property and liability insurance set forth above as well as other insurance coverage benefitting Shared Facilities Manager’s affiliates, provided that the cost of such blanket policy shall be allocated by Shared Facilities Manager, with the assistance of Shared Facilities Manager’s insurance consultant, between the coverage required of Shared Facilities Manager hereunder and such other coverage of its affiliates. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 11.5 | Premiums. Premiums upon insurance policies purchased by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article 11 shall be allocated among the Owners in accordance with this Section 11.5 and included among Assessments under this Declaration. Such premiums shall be allocated among and assessed against the Owners and their Units (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit and its Owner) by Shared Facilities Manager, with the assistance of Shared Facilities Manager’s insurance consultant, at Shared Facilities Manager’s option, based on the relative replacement value that each Owner’s Unit bears to the total replacement value of all of the Units (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit) or the square footage of the Units (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit) or based on each Unit’s share of Shared Facilities Costs or a combination thereof, depending on the type of insurance in question. To the extent separate invoices are issued for premiums associated with Shared Facilities Manager’s insurance policies hereunder with respect to any of the Units, such invoices shall be deemed dispositive and the Owners of such Units shall be responsible for the portion of the premium reflected in the invoices applicable to it, with the remaining premiums (if any) to be allocated among the remaining Units not separately invoiced (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit), at Shared Facilities Manager’s option, consistent with the allocation methods provided above depending on the type of insurance. Any separate invoice for the Shared Facilities Unit’s share of premiums shall also be allocated among all of the other Units, at Shared Facilities Manager’s option, based on the allocation methods provided above depending on the type of insurance. Premiums may be financed in such manner as Shared Facilities Manager deems appropriate. Without limiting the terms of this Declaration, Shared Facilities Costs may include, from time to time and at any time, such amounts deemed necessary by Shared Facilities Manager to provide Shared Facilities Manager with sufficient funds to pay insurance premiums at least thirty (30) days before the date the same are due. |
| 11.6 | Share of Proceeds. All property insurance policies obtained by or on behalf of Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article 11 shall be for the benefit of Shared Facilities Manager, the Owners and the holders of any mortgages on Units, as their respective interests may appear. The duty of Shared Facilities Manager shall be to receive Insurance Proceeds and to hold the same (or cause same to be held) in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration for the purposes elsewhere stated herein and for the benefit of the Owners and the holders of any mortgages on the subject Unit(s) (or any leasehold interest therein). |
| 11.7 | Distribution of Proceeds. Proceeds of property insurance policies required to be maintained by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article 11 (the “Insurance Proceeds”) shall be distributed to or for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof in the following manner: |
| (a) | Restoration. If the damaged property for which the Insurance Proceeds are paid is to be Restored, the Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to defray the cost thereof as elsewhere provided herein. Any Insurance Proceeds remaining after defraying such costs shall be distributed to the Owners, with remittances to Unit Owners and their mortgagees being payable jointly to them. Such Insurance Proceeds shall be allocated in the same manner as the Insurance Proceeds are allocated in subsection 11.7(b). |
| (b) | Failure to Restore. If it is determined under Article 12 that the damaged property for which the Insurance Proceeds are paid shall not be Restored, the remaining Insurance Proceeds shall be allocated among the Owners in proportion to the amount of loss suffered by the Units not Restored; provided, however, that if the damage suffered affects fewer than all Owners, the percentage shares shall be pro rata allocated over only those Owners suffering damage from the applicable policies and proceeds in proportion to the amount of loss suffered by each affected Unit Owner (the “Allocated Interests”), and distributed first to the holders of any mortgage on such affected Unit, as their interests may appear, to be applied towards the mortgages encumbering such affected Unit, with the balance, if any, to the applicable Owner(s). |
Declaration of Covenants
| (c) | Partial Restoration. If it is determined under Article 12 that the Hotel Unit and/or Residential Unit shall not be Restored but other portions of the Insured Property will be Restored, the applicable Owner of such Unit shall be entitled to its pro rata share of the Insurance Proceeds in an amount equal to its Allocated Interest, which shall be distributed first to the holders of any mortgage on such affected Unit, as their interests may appear, to be applied towards the mortgages encumbering such affected Unit, with the balance, if any, to the applicable Owner. |
| 11.8 | Shared Facilities Manager as Agent. Shared Facilities Manager is hereby irrevocably appointed as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact for each Owner and for each owner of a mortgage or other lien upon a Unit and for each owner of any other interest in The Properties, subject to the terms of any mortgage held by Declarant’s Mortgagee, to manage and coordinate the adjustment and settlement of all claims arising under property insurance policies purchased by Shared Facilities Manager and the execution and delivery of releases upon the payment of claims, in each case in conjunction with Shared Facilities Manager’s insurance and other consultants. |
| 11.9 | Owners’ Personal Coverage. The insurance required to be purchased by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article 11 shall not cover claims against an Owner due to occurrences occurring within its Unit, nor casualty or theft loss to the contents of or improvements to an Owner’s Unit. It shall be the obligation of the individual Owner, if such Owner so desires, to purchase and pay for insurance as to all such and other risks not covered by insurance required to be carried by Shared Facilities Manager hereunder, provided that each Owner shall, at a minimum, obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, at such Owner’s sole expense, the following insurance coverage: |
| (a) | Property. Property insurance for fire and other hazards on an “all-risk” basis for the replacement value of the improvements within the Unit owned by it, on industry standard forms affording customary coverage, subject to industry standard exclusions, customary and commercially reasonable deductibles and customary limits/sublimits, typically maintained by owners with comparable creditworthiness to the applicable Owner and required by mortgagees of similar properties in the Market Area and otherwise consistent with the Project Standard. |
| (b) | Liability. Commercial general liability insurance written on an “occurrence basis” (rather than a “claims basis”) under which policy each Owner, Declarant and Shared Facilities Manager shall be named as an additional insured, on industry standard forms affording customary coverage, subject to industry standard exclusions, customary deductibles and customary limits/sublimits, typically maintained by owners with comparable creditworthiness to the applicable Owner and required by mortgagees of similar properties in the Market Area, but in no event less a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and a general aggregate limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). |
| (c) | Umbrella Liability. Umbrella or excess following form of insurance policy meeting the requirements of, but providing coverage in excess of, the policy in item (b) above with a limit of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate or such other amount as reasonably determined by Shared Facilities Manager based on customary liability coverage typically maintained by owners with comparable creditworthiness to the applicable Owner for similar properties in the Market Area. |
Declaration of Covenants
| (d) | Worker’s Compensation; Employer’s Liability. Worker’s Compensation and other mandatory insurance, when applicable, covering all persons employed by such Owner in connection with any work done on or about the Unit (or any part thereof) in such amounts and to the extent required by Legal Requirements, and employer’s liability insurance with minimum limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for Bodily Injury – each accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for Bodily Injury by disease and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for Bodily Injury by disease, each employee (or such greater or lesser amounts as is reasonable and customary for the Market Area in light of the nature of each Owner’s business and operations in its Unit). |

Builder’s risk insurance at any time construction work is being performed on the Unit (or any part thereof) on an All Risk Policy form including “soft costs” in amounts not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full completed value of the improvements, including materials and equipment stored or about the Unit, while in transit to the Unit and while stored away from the Unit. |
| (g) | Automobile Liability. Automobile Liability insurance with a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) covering liability arising out of operation of owned, hired and non-owned vehicles, if such vehicles are used in relation to the operation of the Unit. |
| (h) | Rental Loss and/or Business Income Interruption Insurance. Rental loss and/or business income interruption Insurance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected operating income (in the case of rental loss insurance) and/or 100% of the projected lost net profit, continuing expenses and necessary payroll (in the case of business income interruption insurance) for a period of at least twelve (12) months from the date of a casualty (assuming such casualty had not occurred) and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. |

Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to adjust from time to time the coverage, deductibles and limits/sublimits of all policies of insurance required by this Section 11.9 based on the coverage, deductibles and limits/sublimits typically maintained by owners with comparable creditworthiness to the applicable Owner and required by mortgagees of properties similar to the Units in the Market Area. |
Declaration of Covenants
The amounts and types of insurance required herein shall be adjusted from time to time as necessary to comply with the foregoing requirements and/or the requirements of Declarant’s Mortgagee. All insurance required of or maintained by an Owner under this Article shall be procured from companies authorized to do business in the State of Florida and shall be rated in the latest edition of Best’s Insurance Guide (or its successor, and if such guide becomes unavailable, then a comparable rating guide selected by Shared Facilities Manager) not less than A-:VIII (or such other rating as may be approved by Shared Facilities Manager). The insurance coverage required of each Owner pursuant to this Article may be provided through the coverage of (x) subject to the consent and agreement of Shared Facilities Manager, a master policy carried by Shared Facilities Manager as and to the extent contemplated under Section 11.4 hereof, and/or (y) a blanket policy carried by it, provided that such policy specifically allocates to the Unit covered under such policy the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and the coverage afforded shall not be reduced by reason of the use of such blanket policy, and further provided that such policy contains an aggregate per location endorsement that is not subject to an aggregate policy cap or sublimit and that the requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied. In addition, two or more Owners may mutually agree to maintain a single policy or policies for their respective Units and interests (rather than separate and independent policies), provided that the requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied. Each Owner shall furnish to Shared Facilities Manager, upon the recordation of this Declaration and thereafter prior to the expiration of each policy, certificates of insurance (and, if requested, copies of policies), evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect. The Unit Specific Manager shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining the foregoing insurance following submission of any Unit to a Unit Specific Declaration. The amount of insurance required hereunder shall not be construed to be a limitation of liability on the part of any Owner or Condominium Unit Owner or their respective Permitted Users.
All such policies of insurance shall provide that such policies may not be canceled or substantially modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Shared Facilities Manager and the named insureds, including their respective mortgagees, provided that only ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation due to nonpayment of premium. All such policies shall further provide that the coverage afforded the additional insureds is on a primary and non-contributory basis with any other insurance available to the additional insureds (except for claims under liability policies arising out of the acts or omissions of the additional insured), and if the additional insureds have other insurance that is applicable to the loss, such other insurance will be on an excess basis or contingent basis (subject to the foregoing exception). When appropriate and obtainable, each Owner’s insurance policies shall waive the insurer’s right to: (i) as to property insurance policies, subrogation against Shared Facilities Manager and against the other Owners individually and as a group, (ii) pay only a fraction of any loss in the event of coinsurance or if other insurance carriers have issued coverage upon the same risk (and the amount of the insurer’s liability under such policies shall not be reduced by the existence of any other insurance), and (iii) avoid liability for a loss that is caused by an act of such Owner, Shared Facilities Manager or any other Owner (or any of its or their respective employees, contractors and/or agents) or as a result of contractual undertakings. In the event of any question or dispute as to whether any Owner’s insurance policy complies with the requirements of this Article, such question or dispute shall be submitted to Shared Facilities Manager, who, with the assistance of its insurance consultant, shall render a decision, which decision shall be dispositive of such question or dispute.
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, while Shared Facilities Manager shall use reasonable efforts to maintain copies of the insurance certificates and/or policies received by it, Shared Facilities Manager shall have no obligation to request and/or maintain same, nor shall Shared Facilities Manager have any obligation to take any affirmative action in the event that an Owner (including any Unit Specific Manager) fails to maintain adequate insurance or any insurance specifically required hereunder, including without limitation binding policies on behalf of such Owner (or Unit Specific Manager, as applicable) or taking any other ordinary or extraordinary measures. Each Owner, by acceptance of a deed or other conveyance of a Unit, agrees to indemnify and hold Shared Facilities Manager, Declarant and Declarant’s Mortgagee, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, tenants, mortgagees, contractors, agents and affiliates (as applicable), harmless from and against any and all claims made by any other Owner, any Condominium Unit Owner and its or their Permitted Users, on account of any property damage, personal injury and/or any other Losses of any kind or nature, including without limitation any and all costs and expenses associated with such claims, including inconvenience, relocation and/or moving expenses, lost time, business opportunities or profits, and attorneys’ fees and other legal and associated expenses (through and including all appellate proceedings), arising out of, related to, caused by, associated with or resulting from the failure of such Owner (including any Unit Specific Manager’s) to maintain adequate insurance or the insurance coverages required to be maintained by an Owner pursuant to this Section 11.9.
Declaration of Covenants
Each Owner hereby waives any and all claims and rights of action it may have against the other Owners, Condominium Unit Owners, Shared Facilities Manager, Declarant and Declarant’s Mortgagee, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, tenants, mortgagees, contractors, agents and affiliates (as applicable), with respect to any Losses arising out of any damage to its Unit covered by property insurance required under this Section 11.9, whether or not such insurance was actually in effect, and whether or not such damage was caused by the negligence or other act or omission of the other Owners, Condominium Unit Owners, Shared Facilities Manager, Declarant or Declarant’s Mortgagee, or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, tenants, mortgagees, contractors, agents or affiliates (as applicable).
Given that the systems, equipment and facilities (including without limitation elevator cabs, cables, machinery and equipment; HVAC systems; wires cables generators and other apparatus used in the delivery of the utility services, etc.) located in Unit Exclusive Facilities are the property of the Owner of the Benefitted Unit, such Owner, if it so desires, shall purchase and pay for insurance as to all such property or self-insure such property, and the Owner of the Burdened Unit shall have no obligation to insure same.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the prior approval of Shared Facilities Manager, any insurance required to be maintained by an Owner hereunder may be maintained in whole or in part either under a commercially reasonable plan of self-insurance or self-insured retention, provided that the Owner so self-insuring notifies Shared Facilities Manager of its intent to self-insure, and delivers to Shared Facilities Manager each calendar year and from time to time upon request (i) a copy of its annual report that is audited by an independent certified public accountant and discloses that such Owner has Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) of both tangible net worth and net current assets, and (ii) customary and sufficient evidence of such plan of self-insurance or self-insured retention.
To the extent any deductible is permitted or allowed as a part of any insurance policy carried by an Owner under this Section 11.9, such Owner shall be deemed to be covering the amount thereof under an informal plan of self-insurance; provided, however, that in no event shall any deductible exceed amounts typically maintained by owners with comparable creditworthiness to the applicable Owner and required by mortgagees of properties similar to the Unit in question in the Market Area.
| 11.10 | Benefit of Mortgagees. Certain provisions in this Article 11 are for the benefit of mortgagees of Units and may be enforced by such mortgagees. |
Declaration of Covenants
12. | RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR OF SHARED FACILITIES |
| 12.1 | Application of Provisions. The procedures stated in this Article 12 apply to damage to or destruction of the Insured Property and do not apply to the Restoration of improvements within any Unit or Unit Exclusive Facilities. Each Owner shall be solely responsible for Restoring the improvements within its Unit and any Unit Exclusive Facilities. Each Owner may determine in its discretion whether to Restore the improvements within its Unit or Unit Exclusive Facilities, but such Owner shall complete those repairs that Shared Facilities Manager deems reasonably necessary to avoid further damage to the Insured Property or Unit improvements that are a part of or serve any other Unit, or substantial diminution in value of such other Units, and to protect the Owners from liability from the condition of any of the improvements on The Properties. Any Restoration by any Unit Owner following a fire or other casualty of any kind or nature (including without limitation the reconstruction or repair of Unit Exclusive Facilities) shall be subject to and performed in accordance with the requirements of Article 5. |
| 12.2 | Restoration by Insuring Owner. In the event of damage to or destruction of the Insured Property as a result of fire or other casualty, Shared Facilities Manager shall apply the Insurance Proceeds and all Insurance Deficiency Shares received from Owners to Restoration of the Insured Property, provided that the Insurance Proceeds and all Insurance Deficiency Shares received by Insuring Owner are sufficient to pay for all costs of Restoration of the Insured Property as set forth below (including all hard and soft costs of Restoration), subject to the provisions of Section 12.3; provided, however, that the decision to Restore the structural components of the Residential Unit located above the Parking Unit shall require the consent and joinder of the Residential Unit Owner under the circumstances provided in Section 12.8, and the decision to Restore the structural components of the Hotel Unit (including the Tower B Commercial Unit) shall require the consent and joinder of the Hotel Unit Owner under the circumstances provided in Section 12.8. |
| 12.3 | Deficiency Shares. If the Insurance Proceeds are not sufficient to defray the estimated costs of Restoration by Shared Facilities Manager, or if at any time during Restoration, or upon completion of Restoration, the funds for the payment of the costs of Restoration are insufficient, then Shared Facilities Manager shall not be obligated to Restore the Insured Property, except as follows: |
| (a) | Within thirty (30) days after a casualty (or such longer period of time as may be required in the event of a catastrophic loss, but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such occurrence), Shared Facilities Manager shall notify the Owners affected by the casualty if there are insufficient Insurance Proceeds for Restoration and the share thereof payable by each Owner, which shall be calculated and equitably allocated by Shared Facilities Manager to the Owners in proportion to all of the Owners’ respective Allocated Interests and the amount of available Insurance Proceeds for the affected Insured Property (each Owner’s “Insurance Deficiency Share”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Shared Facilities Unit Owner shall have no responsibility for an Insurance Deficiency Share hereunder, it being understood and agreed that any deficiency in Insurance Proceeds shall be funded by the other Owners affected by the casualty. |
| (b) | Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Insurance Deficiency Share notice described above, each affected Owner shall deposit its Insurance Deficiency Share with the disbursing agent selected pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof and, if any affected Owner does not timely deposit its Insurance Deficiency Share with the disbursing agent, such affected Owner shall be deemed to be in default hereunder. |
Declaration of Covenants
Shared Facilities Manager shall nonetheless proceed with the Restoration of the Insured Property, excluding the portions of the Insured Property required for the Restoration of the Unit of a defaulting Owner, to the extent such partial Restoration can be completed in a manner that complies with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, that Restores the Insured Property to an architectural whole and a standard equal in quality and class to the original work, and that does not impair the structural integrity of the Insured Property, notwithstanding the non-payment of any defaulting Owner’s Deficiency Share. Shared Facilities Manager shall have no liability to a defaulting Owner whatsoever (with any such liability being deemed waived) should Shared Facilities Manager proceed with Restoration pursuant to this paragraph. If any damage to the Insured Property is caused by the act or omission of any Owner, or their invitees, Shared Facilities Manager may assess the costs of repairing the damage exclusively against such Owner to the extent not covered by insurance.
If, due to the non-payment of an Owner’s Deficiency Share, such Restoration cannot be completed in a manner that does not impair the structural integrity of the Insured Property or that meets the other required conditions to Restoration, and the unpaid Insurance Deficiency Share of any Owner is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or less, then Shared Facilities Manager shall complete the Restoration, make reasonable efforts to collect the unpaid Insurance Deficiency Share from the defaulting Owner and, until collected, treat the unpaid Insurance Deficiency Amount as Shared Facilities Costs (with the right to levy Assessments for same), provided that if the total unpaid Insurance Deficiency Share(s) are more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), then Shared Facilities Manager shall notify the other Owners of the Insurance Deficiency Shares not paid and one or more other Owners (each, for purposes of this Section 12.3, a “Paying Owner”) may then (within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice from Shared Facilities Manager) deposit the unpaid Insurance Deficiency Amount with the disbursing agent on behalf of the defaulting Owner and each Paying Owner shall have the immediate right to be reimbursed therefor by the defaulting Owner and without the necessity of any further notice other than notice that the payment has been made, such Paying Owner(s) shall have all rights and remedies available to them at law or in equity, as well as those rights and remedies of Shared Facilities Manager set forth in Sections 6.10 and 15.5 (provided that any lien of such Paying Owner shall be subordinate to any lien in favor of Shared Facilities Manager under the Declaration against the Unit of the defaulting Owner). If the unpaid total Insurance Deficiency Share(s) are in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and no Paying Owner deposits the amount thereof with the disbursing agent, then Shared Facilities Manager shall not be required to Restore the Insured Property.
| 12.4 | Shared Facilities Manager Responsibility. In no event shall Shared Facilities Manager be required to expend or advance any of its own monies to pay for any Restoration, including without limitation, the amount of any deductible, except in its capacity as an Owner of a Unit (if applicable and excluding the Shared Facilities Unit) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. If Shared Facilities Manager is required to Restore the Insured Property as provided above, then Shared Facilities Manager shall proceed with reasonable diligence to Restore the Insured Property, provided that Shared Facilities Manager has received the actual funds, or written assurances satisfactory to Shared Facilities Manager that the necessary funds or proceeds are available, to pay for the costs of Restoration. If Shared Facilities Manager is not obligated to Restore the Insured Property as set forth above, it shall, to the extent Insurance Proceeds and/or Insurance Deficiency Shares are received to pay all such costs, nevertheless promptly clean up the affected Insured Property, remove debris, and remove or repair any damaged Structures therefrom and make such Structures compatible with those portions of the Insured Property remaining undamaged. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 12.5 | Restoration Proceeds. All Insurance Proceeds and Insurance Deficiency Shares, and any other deductible amounts to be deposited by an Owner (collectively, the “Proceeds”) shall be applied to Restoration to the extent Restoration is required in accordance with this Article 12 and shall be deposited with and disbursed through a national title insurance company or other insurance depository arrangement (pursuant to which the Proceeds will be invested in an interest-bearing account) reasonably approved by Shared Facilities Manager and Declarant’s Mortgagee, upon customary terms and conditions for disbursement of construction loans reasonably satisfactory to Shared Facilities Manager and such disbursing agent, which shall provide for the disbursement of Restoration costs on a monthly progress basis; provided, however, that if Restoration is anticipated to cost One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or less, then at the election of the party performing such Restoration (and its mortgagee, if any), the Proceeds may be released to the performing party as work progresses or upon completion of the Restoration upon submission of lien waivers or other evidence of payment for the Restoration work. In the event Shared Facilities Manager conclusively determines that it is not and will not be required to restore the Insured Property under the terms and conditions of this Article 12, or any Proceeds remain after completion of the Restoration, (a) the Insurance Proceeds from such damage or destruction shall be divided among all the Owners benefited by the insurance maintained by Shared Facilities Manager as set forth in subsection 11.7(b); provided, however, that no payment shall be made to an Owner until all mortgages and liens on the Owner’s Unit have first been paid off, from the Owner’s share of such funds in the order of priority of such mortgages and liens, and (b) the Insurance Deficiency Shares shall be reimbursed to the Owner(s) who funded same in proportion to the initial funding. |
| 12.6 | Failure to Restore. If Shared Facilities Manager is obligated to Restore and Shared Facilities Manager does not commence such Restoration work within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) after receipt of the Proceeds required therefor and all applicable permits or does not thereafter use reasonable diligence to complete the Restoration (subject to reasonable extensions for one or more force majeure delays), then the curative rights under Section 15.7 shall apply and any Owner may elect to undertake and complete the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Declaration as if it were named in place of Shared Facilities Manager in all sections concerning such Restoration; provided, however, that (a) any Owner exercising curative rights hereunder shall give written notice as required therein to Shared Facilities Manager and the other Owners, and (b) if more than one Owner makes such election, then all such Owners making such election shall cooperate with each other and with Shared Facilities Manager, and work in good faith, for the common goal of constructing and completing the Restoration on a timely basis and in accordance with this Article and the Project Standard; provided, however, that if the Owner of the Residential Unit and the Hotel Unit make such election, then the Residential Unit Owner shall be the responsible party for the Restoration of the Structure in which the Residential Unit is located on behalf of all Owners in such Structure and the Hotel Unit Owner shall be the responsible party for the Restoration of the Structure in which the Hotel Unit is located on behalf of all Owners in such Structure, and the Owners shall cooperate with the Residential Unit Owner and Hotel Unit Owner in such endeavor. No Owner shall have the right to perform the Restoration under this Section while in default of its obligation to fund the Insurance Deficiency Share. |
| 12.7 | Plans and Specifications. Any Restoration must be made substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications for the original improvements (as subsequently altered in accordance with this Declaration) and then applicable building, zoning and other codes and Legal Requirements; or if not possible, then in accordance with the plans and specifications providing for improvements as nearly as comparable and as commercially practical to the Insured Property as existed prior to the damage. All Restoration shall be completed under the direction of an engineer or architect licensed in Florida or general contractor with not less than ten years’ experience in Florida construction of the nature of the Restoration. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 12.8 | Restoration of Particular Units. In the event the Residential Unit above the Parking Unit is damaged or destroyed as a result of fire or other casualty to an extent exceeding fifty percent (50%) of its replacement cost at the time of its destruction, any determination to Restore the structural components of the Residential Unit shall require the consent and joinder of the Residential Unit Owner, which determination shall be rendered within a reasonable period of time following the casualty, but in no event later than the date such determination may be required by Shared Facilities Manager in its reasonable discretion. In the event the Structure in which the Hotel Unit and Tower B Commercial Unit are located is damaged or destroyed as a result of fire or other casualty to an extent exceeding fifty percent (50%) of its replacement cost at the time of its destruction, any determination to Restore the structural components of the Hotel Unit and Tower B Commercial Unit shall require the consent and joinder of the Hotel Unit Owner, which determination shall be rendered within a reasonable period of time following the casualty, but in no event later than the date such determination may be required by Shared Facilities Manager in its reasonable discretion. If either the Residential Unit or the Structure in which the Hotel Unit and Tower B Commercial Unit are located is damaged or destroyed as a result of fire or other casualty to an extent that is less than fifty percent (50%) of its replacement cost at the time of the casualty, such Units and Structures shall be Restored as provided in Section 12.2 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and irrespective of whether the Residential Unit Owner or Hotel Unit Owner determines not to Restore its Unit when permitted to do so hereunder, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to make and complete (or to require the Owner of any damaged Unit to make and complete) any repairs that Shared Facilities Manager deems reasonably necessary to secure the damaged Unit (including the structural components of the Residential Unit and Hotel Unit), to avoid further damage to the Insured Property or any improvements that serve any other Unit or substantial diminution in value of such other Units, to protect all Owners from liability from the condition of any of the improvements on The Properties (due to unsafe conditions or otherwise), to preserve the aesthetics of Paseo de la Riviera, and to ensure that the remaining portions of The Properties continue to meet the Project Standard. The foregoing actions may include razing and removing the damaged improvements (and, in the case of the Hotel Unit, removing the foundations, filling the site with dirt covered with topsoil and leaving it as a level, safe vacant lot) if warranted by the extent of the casualty. In the event the Residential Unit or Hotel Unit are not Restored, (i) neither Shared Facilities Manager nor any other party responsible for Restoration of the Insured Property shall be required to Restore any portion of the Insured Property, the existence of which is dependent upon the Restoration of the Residential Unit or Hotel Unit (e.g., cantilever structures connecting such Units), (ii) the Residential Unit Owner and the Hotel Unit Owner (and the Tower B Commercial Unit Owner in the event the Tower B Commercial Unit is not restored) shall nevertheless remain obligated to pay its respective Insurance Deficiency Share to the extent required to pay the cost to Restore the Insured Property that will be Restored, (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Shared Facilities Manager shall not be required to maintain or repair certain Shared Facilities to the extent such Shared Facilities solely benefit the Residential Unit, Hotel Unit or the Tower B Commercial Unit, if and to the extent such Units are not Restored, and (iv) following Restoration of the Insured Property, the allocation of Shared Facilities Costs under Section 15.3 (x) to any Unit that will not be Restored shall be reduced to zero and (y) to the Units that will be Restored (other than the Shared Facilities Unit and Parking Unit, which shall remain zero) shall be proportionately adjusted. |
| 12.9 | Restoration by Unit Owners. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the terms of Section 12.8, Shared Facilities Manager may delegate responsibility for Restoration of portions of the Insured Property to the Owner thereof (e.g., the Structure of a Unit), in which event such Unit |
Declaration of Covenants
Owner shall undertake and complete the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Declaration as if it were named in place of Shared Facilities Manager in all sections concerning such Restoration. If the Structure of the Residential Unit is damaged and either the Residential Unit Owner consents to the Restoration or the Structure is required to be Restored pursuant to Section 12.8, Shared Facilities Manager may only delegate responsibility for Restoration of the Structure in which the Residential Unit is located to the Residential Unit Owner. If the Structure of the Hotel Unit is damaged and either the Hotel Unit Owner consents to the Restoration or the Structure is required to be Restored pursuant to Section 12.8, Shared Facilities Manager may only delegate responsibility for Restoration of the Structure in which the Hotel Unit is located to the Hotel Unit Owner. All Owners shall cooperate with each other and with Shared Facilities Manager, and work in good faith, for the common goal of constructing and completing all such Restoration on a timely basis and in accordance with the Project Standard. Any reconstruction or repair by any Unit Owner following a fire or other casualty of any kind or nature (including without limitation the reconstruction or repair of the Insured Property owned by it pursuant to this Section, interior improvements to its Unit, Unit Exclusive Facilities or otherwise) shall be subject to and performed in accordance with the requirements of Article 5.
| 12.10 | Benefit of Mortgagees. Certain provisions in this Article 12 are for the benefit of mortgagees of Units and may be enforced by any of them. |
| 13.1 | Effect of Taking. The taking of portions of the Shared Facilities by the exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be deemed to be a casualty, and, subject to the terms of this Declaration, the awards for that taking shall be deemed to be Insurance Proceeds on account of the casualty. Even though the awards may be payable to Owners, the Owners shall deposit the awards with Shared Facilities Manager; and in the event of failure to do so, in the discretion of Shared Facilities Manager, a charge shall be made against a defaulting Owner in the amount of such Owner’s award, or the amount of that award shall be set off against the sums hereafter made payable to that Owner. |
| 13.2 | Determination Whether to Reconstruct. The effect of the taking shall be addressed in the manner provided for determining whether damaged property will be Restored after casualty. For this purpose, the taking by eminent domain also shall be deemed to be a casualty and the provisions of Article 12 shall apply as though fully set forth herein (including without limitation the provisions thereof relating to disbursements of excess Proceeds, funding of deficits in Proceeds through Insurance Deficiency Shares and requirements for consent of the Residential Unit Owner and Hotel Unit Owner, as applicable), provided that any decision to Restore shall be to restore the affected improvements to the nearest whole architectural structure taking into consideration the nature and extent of the condemnation. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 14.1 | Assessment of The Properties. The Structures on The Properties constitute a “multiple parcel building”, each Unit constitutes a “parcel” and this Declaration constitutes a “recorded instrument” within the meanings set forth in Section 193.0237 of the Florida Statutes. As such, The Properties and Units shall be assessed for Taxes and each Unit shall be assigned a separate tax folio number, in accordance with that Section. Since The Properties consist of a multiple parcel building containing separate ownership parcels that are vertically located, in whole or in part, on or over the same land, the value of the land underlying the Units shall not be separately assessed and shall be allocated among and included in the just value of all the Units (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit) in the same proportion that the just value of the improvements comprising each Unit (other than the Shared Facilities Unit) bears to the total just value of all improvements (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit) in Paseo de la Riviera, as provided in Section 193.0237 of the Florida Statutes, unless a different method of valuing the land underlying the Units in a project consisting of multiple parcel buildings is required by Legal Requirements (in which case, such method shall be followed). If the Tax folio number for any Unit erroneously includes portions of another Unit, the Owners of such Units shall work cooperatively and in good faith to correct such error with the County Property Appraiser. |
| 14.2 | Payment of Taxes. Except for Taxes assessed against the Shared Facilities Unit, Taxes assessed against or relating to any Unit shall not be included in the Shared Facilities Costs, and each Owner shall be obligated to pay such Taxes with respect to its Unit without contribution from any other Owner. Taxes associated with Unit Exclusive Facilities shall be paid by the Owner of the Burdened Unit in which such facilities are located, unless there is a separate Tax bill for such Unit Exclusive Facilities and/or the property located therein, in which case the Owner of the Benefitted Unit served by such facilities shall pay same. Taxes assessed against the Shared Facilities Unit shall be handled and paid for as provided in Section 14.3. |
| 14.3 | Taxes Against Shared Facilities. It is intended that any and all Taxes against the Shared Facilities Unit or Shared Facilities shall be (or have been, because the purchase prices of the Units and Structures have already taken into account the value of the Shared Facilities), assessed against and payable as part of the Taxes of the applicable Units within The Properties. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Taxes are assessed directly against the Shared Facilities Unit or Shared Facilities, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the exclusive right to protest or appeal same, including Taxes on any improvements and any personal property located thereon. In such event, all such Taxes (and any costs of any protest or appeal thereof) shall be included as part of the expenses of the Shared Facilities which are assessed by Shared Facilities Manager (in part, for the benefit of the Shared Facilities Unit Owner) against each of the Units and shall be shared among the Units (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit), at Shared Facilities Manager’s option, based on (a) the assessed or appraised value of each Unit (other than the Shared Facilities Unit) relative to the total assessed or appraised value of all Units (excluding the Shared Facilities Unit), as determined by the County Property Appraiser, or (b) each Unit’s share of Shared Facilities Costs. Further, if Taxes are assessed directly against the Shared Facilities Unit or Shared Facilities, without limiting the terms of this Declaration, Shared Facilities Costs may include such amounts deemed necessary by Shared Facilities Manager to provide it with sufficient funds to pay such Taxes at least thirty (30) days before the date the same are due. |
Declaration of Covenants
15. | PROVISIONS REGARDING SHARED FACILITIES COSTS |
| 15.1 | Maintenance Expenses. Shared Facilities Manager shall maintain in good repair, and shall replace as often as necessary, the Shared Facilities as provided in other provisions of this Declaration, all such work to be done as determined and ordered by Shared Facilities Manager. Each Owner, by acceptance of a deed or other conveyance of any portion of The Properties, shall be deemed to have agreed that the level of service and quality of maintenance and repair shall be commensurate, in the opinion of Shared Facilities Manager, with the Project Standard. All work by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Article and pursuant to Article 6 related to the foregoing and/or with respect to the Shared Facilities shall be paid for through Assessments (either general or special) imposed in accordance herewith. In the event that any Unit Owner requests Shared Facilities Manager to repair or replace any portions of that Owner’s Unit other than the Shared Facilities which would not otherwise fall under Shared Facilities Manager’s responsibilities, then Shared Facilities Manager may do so as long as all costs and expenses thereof are paid by the applicable Unit Owner. Likewise, any repair or other work to the Shared Facilities necessitated by the misuse, negligence or other action or inaction of an Owner or its Tenants or Permitted Users shall be paid for by the Owner causing the damage. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for Assessments to Shared Facilities Manager by non-use (whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Shared Facilities or abandonment of the right to use same. If, due to the non-payment of Assessments by any Owner, Shared Facilities Manager does not have sufficient funds to perform the maintenance, repair and replacement obligations required of it under this Declaration, then Shared Facilities Manager shall reduce or cease maintaining, repairing or replacing the Unit owned by the defaulting Owner or the Shared Facilities that benefit such Unit only (e.g., washing windows on the exterior of such Unit) and use the Assessments collected from the Owners of the other Units to perform the maintenance, repair and replacement obligations of Shared Facilities Manager hereunder with respect to such Units, (a) to the extent reasonably feasible, (b) subject to applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, and (c) provided that, in the reasonable judgment of Shared Facilities Manager, the failure to perform such maintenance, repairs or replacements will not diminish or jeopardize any other Units or Shared Facilities or otherwise adversely impact such Units, the Shared Facilities or The Properties generally. Shared Facilities Manager shall have no liability to the defaulting Owner whatsoever (with any such liability hereby being deemed waived) should Shared Facilities Manager exercise its rights under the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Shared Facilities Manager shall be excused and relieved from any and all maintenance, repair and/or replacement obligations under this Article to the extent that the funds necessary to perform same are not available through the Assessments imposed and actually collected. Shared Facilities Manager shall have no obligation to fund and/or advance any deficit or shortfall in funds needed by Shared Facilities Manager in order to properly perform the maintenance, repair and/or replacement obligations described herein. |
| 15.2 | Ongoing Developer Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the obligations of Shared Facilities Manager under the provisions of this Declaration, Shared Facilities Manager shall (a) assume or otherwise be responsible for Declarant’s and its affiliates’ ongoing responsibilities to the County, the City, any other Governmental Authority or any other party with respect to The Properties as a whole or more than one Unit thereof or the Shared Facilities, including without limitation such obligations of Declarant or its affiliates under the Project Encumbrances (except with respect to the obligations under the Project Encumbrances that are the responsibility of an Owner thereunder or under this Declaration, which shall remain with the applicable Owner), and (b) indemnify and hold Declarant and Declarant’s Mortgagee, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, tenants, contractors, agents and affiliates (as applicable), harmless with respect thereto in the event of Shared Facilities Manager’s failure to fulfill those responsibilities. Any and all costs and/or expenses incurred by Shared Facilities Manager in assuming and/or performing any of such obligations and under the foregoing indemnity shall be part of the Shared Facilities Costs assessed against all Unit Owners (including Condominium Unit Owners) in the manner provided by this Article. In the event of doubt as to whether obligations under the Project Encumbrances (or any particular obligation thereunder) is the responsibility of Shared Facilities Manager or any Owner, the decision of Shared Facilities Manager in such regard shall be final and conclusive. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 15.3 | Assessment to Shared Facilities Manager; Allocations. Declarant (and each party joining in any Supplemental Declaration) hereby covenants and agrees, and each Owner of a Unit (including, without limitation, a Condominium Unit Owner) or any portion thereof, by acceptance of a deed therefor or other conveyance thereof, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed or other conveyance, shall be deemed to covenant and agree, to pay to Shared Facilities Manager annual Assessments and charges for the operation and insurance of, and for payment of expenses (and real estate and personal property Taxes) allocated or assessed to or through or otherwise incurred by the Shared Facilities Unit Owner or Shared Facilities Manager, of and/or for the ownership, maintenance, management, operation and insurance of the Shared Facilities, the establishment of reasonable reserves for the replacement of same, the establishment of a fund to pay legal costs and expenses of Shared Facilities Unit Owner or Shared Facilities Manager, capital improvement Assessments, special Assessments and all other charges and Assessments hereinafter referred to or imposed by Shared Facilities Manager in connection with the repair, replacement, improvement, maintenance, management, operation and insurance of, and taxes on, the Shared Facilities (collectively, the “Shared Facilities Costs”), all such Assessments to be fixed, established and collected from time to time as herein provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shared Facilities Costs shall also be deemed to include: (i) any and all costs and expenses (including rent) relating to or incurred by Shared Facilities Unit Owner or Shared Facilities Manager under the Project Encumbrances, (ii) rent incurred by Shared Facilities Manager (whether directly or by reimbursement to third party managers) for property management offices located within or outside The Properties and used or occupied by Shared Facilities Manager or other property manager(s) providing services to the Shared Facilities, (iii) any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees in all legal proceedings commenced by or against Shared Facilities Manager) incurred by Shared Facilities Manager in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Declaration, including without limitation any indemnity obligations of Shared Facilities Manager under this Declaration, (iv) a management fee payable to Shared Facilities Manager (or its designee) not to exceed twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the other Shared Facilities Costs, (v) in connection with any construction performed by or under the supervision of Shared Facilities Manager, a construction oversight fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of the work, provided that if such cost exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) the construction management fee shall be equal to three percent (3%) of such total costs to reimburse Shared Facilities Manager for such services, and (vi) any and all costs and expenses incurred by Shared Facilities Manager and/or its agents or designees related to employment of property management personnel, including managers, janitors, handymen, carpenters, engineers, electricians, plumbers, guards, cleaners and/or other personnel (including amounts incurred for wages, salaries and other compensation for services, payroll, social security, unemployment and similar taxes, workmen’s compensation insurance, disability benefits, pensions, hospitalization, retirement plans and group insurance, uniforms and working clothes and the cleaning thereof, and expenses imposed on Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement), for services in connection with the maintenance, management and operation of the Shared Facilities, and personnel engaged in supervision of any of the persons mentioned above; provided, however, that the costs of employing personnel who work less than full-time in connection with the maintenance, management and operation of the Shared Facilities shall be equitably adjusted. The annual Assessment, capital improvement Assessment and special Assessment, together with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof (including any costs of any collection agency, receiver’s fees, filing fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and costs of protecting the lien, shall be a charge on each Unit, and shall be a continuing lien upon each Unit and upon all improvements thereon, from time to time existing as herein provided. Each such Assessment, together with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall also be the personal obligation of all persons who own any fee interest in any Unit (or any portions thereof), at the time when the Assessment fell due and all subsequent Owners and fee owners and Condominium Unit Owners thereof until paid, except as provided in Section 15.6. Reference herein to Assessments shall be understood to include reference to any and all of said charges whether or not specifically mentioned. |
Declaration of Covenants
Shared Facilities Costs allocable to the Shared Facilities shall be allocated among the Units as follows, subject to reasonable adjustments by Shared Facilities Manager as hereinafter provided:
Unit | | Share of Shared Facilities Costs | |
| | | |
Residential Unit | | | 38.50 | % |
| | | | |
Hotel Unit | | | 50.75 | % |
| | | | |
Tower A Commercial Unit | | | 9.65 | % |
| | | | |
Tower B Commercial Unit | | | 1.10 | % |
| | | | |
Parking Unit | | | 0.00 | % |
| | | | |
Shared Facilities Unit | | | 0.00 | % |
| | | | |
TOTAL | | | 100 | % |
The foregoing allocations shall be subject to reasonable adjustments by Shared Facilities Manager from time to time (based on, inter alia, relative or intensity of use of the Shared Facilities by the Owners and their respective Permitted Users, actual consumption or expense and/or other relevant factors), which adjustments shall be made by Supplemental Declaration executed by Shared Facilities Manager and the Declarant’s Mortgagee, provided that the percentage share of Shared Facilities Costs allocated to any Submitted Unit that is a residential condominium shall not be increased following the creation of the condominium. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the allocations set forth above, (a) to the extent any utility or other charges are part of the costs attributable to the Shared Facilities and those charges are separately metered to particular Units or otherwise can reasonably be allocated to the particular Units based upon actual consumption as determined by Shared Facilities Manager’s engineer or consultant, then in such event, such utility or other charges shall be allocated based upon actual consumption, rather than by the percentage allocations described above (b) premiums for insurance policies purchased by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to this Declaration shall be allocated among the Units as provided in Section 11.5, (c) if Taxes are assessed directly against the Shared Facilities Unit or Shared Facilities (rather than being paid as part of the Taxes applicable to the other Units), Taxes with respect to the Shared Facilities shall be allocated and assessed as provided in Section 14.3, (d) if special elements or architectural features added to a Unit increase the Shared Facilities Costs in excess of the costs that would be incurred without such elements or features, then in such event, such excess costs shall be allocated to and paid solely by the Unit Owner whose Unit contains such special element or architectural feature, (e) with respect to personnel providing services in connection with the maintenance, management and operation of the Shared Facilities who also provide services for the benefit of particular Unit(s) or portions thereof that are not part of the Shared Facilities, the costs and expenses of such personnel in providing such services to such Unit(s) shall be allocated to such Unit(s), and (f) if, under any other provision of this Declaration, any other costs are allocated to the Unit Owners (or any one or more of them) on a basis other than the manner set forth in this Section, then such costs shall be allocated by Shared Facilities Manager to such Unit Owners as so provided in such other provisions. All such charges, premiums, Taxes and other costs nevertheless are and shall remain Assessments (irrespective of how same are allocated among the Units), subject to Shared Facilities Manager rights and remedies set forth in this Article 15 in the event any Owner fails to pay same as required herein.
Declaration of Covenants
| 15.4 | Levying Assessments. Shared Facilities Manager shall budget and adopt Assessments for Shared Facilities Manager’s general expenses for the Shared Facilities Costs based, in part, upon Shared Facilities Manager’s reasonable projections of the intensity of use of the applicable Shared Facilities for the period subject to the budget. In addition to the regular and capital improvement Assessments which are or may be levied hereunder, Shared Facilities Manager shall have the right to collect reasonable reserves for the replacement of the applicable Shared Facilities (or any components thereof) and to levy special Assessments to fund expenses which Shared Facilities Manager does not reasonably anticipate having sufficient funds to cover, or special Assessments or impose other charges against an Owner(s) to the exclusion of other Owners for the repair or replacement of damage to any portion of the applicable Shared Facilities (including, without limitation, improvements and landscaping thereon) caused by the misuse, negligence or other action or inaction of an Owner or its Tenants or Permitted Users. Any such special Assessment shall be subject to all of the applicable provisions of this Article including, without limitation, lien filing and foreclosure procedures and late charges and interest. Any special Assessment levied hereunder shall be due within the time specified by Shared Facilities Manager in the action imposing such Assessment. Further, funds which are necessary or desired by Shared Facilities Manager for the addition of capital improvements (as distinguished from repairs, maintenance, replacement and/or relocation) relating to the applicable Shared Facilities and which have not previously been collected as reserves or are not otherwise available to Shared Facilities Manager (other than by borrowing) shall be levied by Shared Facilities Manager as Assessments against the applicable Unit Owners entitled to use of (or benefiting from) the particular component of the applicable Shared Facilities. The annual regular Assessments provided for in this Article shall commence on the first day of the month next following the recordation of this Declaration and shall be applicable through December 31 of such year. Each subsequent annual Assessment shall be imposed for the year beginning January 1 and ending December 31. The annual Assessments shall be payable in advance in monthly installments, or in annual, semi- or quarter-annual installments if so determined by Shared Facilities Manager (absent which determination they shall be payable monthly). The Assessment amount (and applicable installments) may be changed at any time by Shared Facilities Manager from that originally stipulated or from any other Assessment that is in the future adopted by Shared Facilities Manager. The original Assessment for any year shall be levied for the calendar year (to be reconsidered and amended, if necessary, at any appropriate time during the year), but the amount of any revised Assessment to be levied during any period shorter than a full calendar year shall be in proportion to the number of months (or other appropriate installments) remaining in such calendar year. Shared Facilities Manager shall fix the date of commencement and the amount of the Assessment against the Units for each Assessment period, to the extent practicable, at least thirty (30) days in advance of such date or period, and shall, at that time, prepare a roster of the Units and Assessments applicable thereto which shall be kept in the office of Shared Facilities Manager and shall be open to inspection by any Owner. Written notice of the Assessment shall thereupon be sent to every Owner subject thereto twenty (20) days prior to payment of the first installment thereof, except as to special Assessments. In the event no such notice of the Assessments for a new Assessment period is given, the amount payable shall continue to be the same as the amount payable for the previous period, until changed in the manner provided for herein. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 15.5 | Effect of Non-Payment of Assessment; the Personal Obligation; the Lien; Remedies of Shared Facilities Manager. If the Assessments (or installments) provided for herein are not paid on the date(s) when due (being the date(s) specified herein or pursuant hereto), then such Assessments (or installments) shall become delinquent and shall, together with late charges, interest on the late amount at the Default Rate and the cost of collection thereof (including any costs of any collection agency, receiver’s fees, filing fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and any costs for protection of the lien, as herein provided, thereupon become a continuing lien on the Unit and all improvements thereon which shall bind such property in the hands of the then Owner, the Owner’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 15.6 to the contrary, the personal obligation of an Owner to pay such Assessment shall pass to such Owner’s successors in title and recourse may be had against either or both. If any installment of an Assessment is not paid within ten (10) days after the due date, at the option of Shared Facilities Manager a late charge not greater than the amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of such unpaid installment may be imposed (provided that only one late charge may be imposed on any one unpaid installment and if such installment is not paid thereafter, it and the late charge shall accrue interest as provided herein but shall not be subject to additional late charges; provided further, however, that each other installment thereafter coming due shall be subject to one late charge each as aforesaid) and Shared Facilities Manager may bring an action at law against the Owner(s) personally obligated to pay the same, may record a claim of lien (as evidence of its lien rights as hereinabove provided for) against the Unit on which the Assessments and late charges are unpaid and all improvements thereon, may foreclose the lien against the applicable portion of the Unit and all improvements thereon on which the Assessments and late charges are unpaid in like manner as foreclosure of a mortgage lien, or may pursue one or more of such remedies at the same time or successively, and attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred in preparing and filing the claim of lien and the complaint, if any, and prosecuting same (including costs of any collection agency), in such action shall be added to the amount of such Assessments, late charges and interest secured by the lien, and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include all such sums as above provided and attorneys’ fees actually incurred together with the costs of the action, through all applicable appellate levels (and including fees incurred in bankruptcy or probate proceedings, if applicable). Failure of Shared Facilities Manager (or any collecting entity) to send or deliver bills or notices of Assessments shall not relieve Owners from their obligations hereunder. Shared Facilities Manager shall have such other remedies for collection and enforcement of Assessments as may be permitted by applicable law. All remedies are intended to be, and shall be, cumulative. |
| 15.6 | Subordination of Lien. The lien of the Assessments provided for in this Article shall be subordinate to real property Tax liens, but shall not be subordinate to any other liens or encumbrances against The Properties or any portion thereof recorded after the date of recordation of this Declaration, including without limitation any Mortgage on The Properties or any portion thereof. Each Owner, regardless of how title to its Unit has been acquired, including by purchase at a foreclosure sale or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is liable for all Assessments which come due while it is the Unit Owner. Additionally, each Owner is jointly and severally liable with the previous owner of the Unit for all unpaid Assessments that came due up to the time of transfer of title, provided that, for purposes hereof, the term “previous owner” does not include Shared Facilities Manager if Shared Facilities Manager acquires title to a delinquent Unit through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. Any unpaid Assessment which cannot be collected as a lien against any Unit by reason of the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be an Assessment divided equally among, payable by and a lien against all Units subject to Assessment by Shared Facilities Manager. |
| 15.7 | Curative Right. Declarant, for all Units now or hereafter located within The Properties, hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each Owner of any Unit by acceptance of a deed therefor or other conveyance thereof, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed or other conveyance, shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree, that it shall be the obligation of Shared Facilities Manager to maintain, repair and replace the Shared Facilities in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in the event (and only in the event) that Shared Facilities Manager fails to maintain the applicable Shared Facilities as required under this Declaration, any affected Unit Owner shall have the right to perform such duties; provided, however, that, except in the case of an emergency (in which case such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances shall be required) same may only occur after thirty (30) business days’ prior written notice to Shared Facilities Manager and provided that Shared Facilities Manager has not effected curative action within said thirty (30) business day period (or if the curative action cannot reasonably be completed within said thirty (30) business day period, provided only that Shared Facilities Manager has not commenced curative actions within said thirty (30) business day period and thereafter diligently pursued same to completion). To the extent that a Unit Owner must undertake maintenance responsibilities as a result of Shared Facilities Manager’s failure to perform same, then in such event, but only for such remedial actions as may be necessary, the Unit Owner shall be deemed vested with the Assessment rights of Shared Facilities Manager hereunder for the limited purpose of obtaining reimbursement from the Owners for the costs of performing such remedial work and the easement rights of Shared Facilities Manager for the limited purpose of carrying out such remedial actions. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 15.8 | Priority of Liens. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, any Assessment sums collected shall be applied first to the Assessments of Shared Facilities Manager, and then to those of the collecting Unit Specific Manager, as more particularly provided in Section 8.4. Any lien of a Unit Specific Manager for assessments created or established by or pursuant to a Unit Specific Declaration shall be subordinate to the liens of Shared Facilities Manager for Assessments under this Declaration against The Properties or any portion thereof, irrespective of the order in which such liens may be filed in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, within ten (10) days following request, Unit Specific Manager shall execute such further instruments subordinating its liens for assessments under the Unit Specific Declaration to the liens of Shared Facilities Manager under this Declaration. If any Unit Specific Manager fails to execute any subordination or other agreement required by this Section promptly as requested, such Unit Specific Manager shall be deemed to have irrevocably constituted and appointed Shared Facilities Manager as its attorney-in-fact to execute such instrument in such Unit Specific Manager’s name, place and stead, it being agreed that such power is coupled with an interest in Shared Facilities Manager and is accordingly irrevocable. As more particularly provided therein, any Assessments and liens of the Hotel Unit Owner under Section 6.3(e) shall be subject and subordinate to the Assessments and liens of Shared Facilities Manager under this Declaration. |
| 15.9 | Financial Records. Shared Facilities Manager shall maintain financial books and records showing its actual receipts and expenditures with respect to the maintenance, operation, repair, replacement, alteration and relocation of the Shared Facilities, including the then current budget and any then proposed budget (the “Facilities Records”). The Facilities Records need not be audited or reviewed by a Certified Public Accountant. Any Owner shall have the right to inspect the Facilities Records once per calendar year at the offices of Shared Facilities Manager, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Shared Facilities Manager, provided that any such inspection shall be limited to the Facilities Records pertaining to the immediately preceding and current calendar year only (and not any other calendar years). |

Upon the request of any Unit Owner or its mortgagee, Shared Facilities Manager shall furnish an estoppel certificate confirming such information as may be reasonably requested by such parties, such as the amount and status of payment of Assessments, whether this Declaration has been amended or supplemented (and, if so, identifying the amendments and/or supplements), and whether such Owner or its Permitted Users are in compliance with this Declaration. The estoppel certificate shall be based on the actual knowledge of Shared Facilities Manager without independent investigation. Shared Facilities Manager may establish a reasonable fee to be charged to reimburse it for the cost of preparing any certificates hereunder. |
| (a) | Collection of Transient Use Fee. In furtherance of the purpose and intent of this Declaration and, among other things, in order to offset the economic burden that may be incurred by the Hotel Unit Owner due to the transient nature of the use of the Hotel Unit and the impact of such use on the Shared Facilities and the Hotel Unit (including without limitation high traffic areas of Paseo de la Riviera and the Amenities Area), Hotel Unit Owner may impose and collect from Permitted Users of the Hotel Unit that are hotel guests a daily “Transient Use Fee”, which, once imposed shall be paid by such Permitted Users to the Hotel Unit Owner any time a room in the Hotel Unit is occupied by the Permitted User for all or a portion of a calendar day, except as otherwise provided herein. If the Transient Use Fee is imposed hereunder, the payment of the Transient Use Fee shall be a precondition to the occupancy of a room in the Hotel Unit by any Permitted User, unless waived by Hotel Unit Owner. At the discretion of Hotel Unit Owner, the Transient Use Fee may also be imposed by the Hotel Unit Owner as a precondition to the use by a Permitted User of any other portion of the Hotel Unit or access to the Amenities Area or any services provided within the Hotel Unit. No Transient Use Fee shall be imposed or collected by Hotel Unit Owner prior to the date that is six (6) full calendar months following the date of recordation of this Declaration anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. |
| (b) | Amount of Transient Use Fee. The Transient Use Fee shall be imposed daily in an amount determined by the Hotel Unit Owner from time to time in accordance with this Section. Unless otherwise determined by Hotel Unit Owner, the Transient Use Fee shall remain fixed from the date such Transient Use Fee is imposed until December 31st of the calendar year in which the Transient Use Fee is imposed. As of January 1st of the following calendar year, the Transient Use Fee may be increased or decreased by an amount to be determined by Hotel Unit Owner in its discretion. Hotel Unit Owner may use the proceeds of the Transient Use Fee to pay Hotel Unit Owner’s share of Shared Facilities Costs under this Declaration or for such other uses and purposes as Hotel Unit Owner shall deem appropriate. To the extent the Transient Use Fee is paid to Shared Facilities Manager, same shall offset Hotel Unit Owner’s share of Shared Facilities Costs on a dollar-for-dollar basis under this Article 15. |
| (c) | Enforcement. If the Transient Use Fee is imposed as provided herein, Hotel Unit Owner shall be permitted to exercise any and all rights available at law and/or in equity to enforce payment of, and to collect, the Transient Use Fee. In addition, in the event of non-payment of the Transient Use Fee, Hotel Unit Owner shall have the same remedies with respect to any defaulting Permitted Users as are available to Shared Facilities Manager for the collection of installments of Assessments to the fullest extent feasible, including without limitation, the right to impose late fees or late interest charges. |
Declaration of Covenants
| (d) | Limitations. There shall be no amendment to this Section 15.11, without the prior approval of Hotel Unit Owner. |
| 15.12 | Shared Facilities Manager Consent; Conflict. The provisions of this Article 15 shall not be amended, modified or in any manner impaired and/or diminished, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Shared Facilities Manager, provided that any amendment or modification to Section 15.11 shall also require the prior written consent of Hotel Unit Owner. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article 15, and the provisions of any other Section of this Declaration addressing the same subject matter, the provisions of this Article 15 shall prevail and govern. |
| 16. | PROVISIONS REGARDING PARKING UNIT |
| 16.1 | General. Declarant hereby grants and reserves unto the Parking Unit Owner exclusive control of the Parking Unit and the right at any time, and from time to time, to grant easements over, under and upon the Parking Unit, and the exclusive right at any time, and from time to time, to grant or assign to specific Structures, Units or Condominium Units, or any Owner, Condominium Unit Owner, Unit Specific Manager or other party, the right to use (by easement, license or other agreement) one or more of the parking spaces within the Parking Unit on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, as may be determined by Parking Unit Owner in its sole discretion. Accordingly, all of the parking areas located within the Parking Unit are and shall be (a) subject to the exclusive control of the Parking Unit Owner, (b) on an assigned or unassigned, first-come first-serve basis as may be determined by the Parking Unit Owner in its sole discretion, and (c) subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Article 16 and any rules and regulations promulgated by the Parking Unit Owner. The Parking Unit Owner shall have the right to permit persons other than Owners of Units to use the Parking Unit or portions thereof. The Parking Unit Owner shall have the further right, from time to time, to establish rules and regulations regarding the use of the Parking Unit or portions thereof, including without limitation provisions for the involuntary removal of any violating vehicles, and the fees/rates charged for use of the Parking Unit and for services (if any) offered from the Parking Unit. The Parking Unit Owner shall provide each Owner with rights to park in the Parking Unit not fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice of the adoption of any new rules and regulations by the Parking Unit Owner. All fees collected by the Parking Unit Owner for the use of the Parking Unit or any portion thereof shall be retained by the Parking Unit Owner and shall not constitute income or revenue of any other Owner (and/or be utilized to offset any Shared Facilities Costs). The Parking Unit Owner may suspend any Owner’s right to use parking space(s) during any period when payments for such parking space(s) from that Owner are delinquent. Temporary guest parking shall be permitted only as determined by the Parking Unit Owner, and only within spaces and areas, if any, clearly designated for such purpose. |
| 16.2 | Requirement for Separate Agreement. No Unit or the Owner thereof (or its Permitted Users) shall have the right to use any parking spaces within the Parking Unit unless such Owner first reaches a written agreement with the Parking Unit Owner with respect to, inter alia, the extent of use to be allowed such Owner (and its Permitted Users), whether such use will be on an assigned or unassigned, first come first serve basis, and the obligation of such Owner to contribute towards the expenses of the Parking Unit or otherwise compensate the Parking Unit Owner. The rights and obligations of each Owner of a Unit shall be subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in the written agreement between the Parking Unit Owner and such Owner, which written agreement may be in the form of a Supplemental Declaration or easement, assignment, instrument or other agreement of any kind. Such rights and obligations shall pass with title to such Unit, Structure or Condominium Unit, unless otherwise provided in said written agreement. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 16.3 | Easements for Use. Subject to such rules and regulations as may be established from time to time by the Parking Unit Owner as hereinabove provided, a non-exclusive easement for vehicular ingress and egress is hereby reserved (and declared and created) over, under and upon the driveways, accessways, ramps and other portions of the Parking Unit as are necessary to access any portion of the Parking Unit to which the Owner of a Unit has use rights (if any) pursuant to a written agreement in favor of the applicable Unit Owner, including Condominium Unit Owners (and its and their respective Permitted Users). The Parking Unit Owner shall have the right to specifically limit the scope of the easements herein granted pursuant to separate agreement. |
| 16.4 | Maintenance of Parking Unit. The Parking Unit Owner shall, at its sole cost, maintain the Parking Unit, any elevator serving the Parking Unit exclusively (if any), any Parking Unit access control or revenue-related equipment (including any electrical and communications/data equipment and/or utilities serving the Parking Unit or such equipment), and any and all other improvements now or hereafter located in, on or otherwise comprising the Parking Unit. Such maintenance obligations shall include, without limitation, sweeping, striping, power washing, janitorial, trash removal and disposal; vermin extermination; maintenance of all Parking Unit signage (including identification signage, directional signage, way-finding signage and signage required by applicable Legal Requirements for the Parking Unit that is not part of the Shared Facilities); non-structural concrete repairs, patching and resurfacing interior walls (including painting and wall covering); and maintaining and repairing parking stalls, ramps and drive aisles, utility systems, equipment, machinery and fixtures within the Parking Unit (including without limitation, the lighting fixtures serving the Parking Unit, but excluding the Master Life Safety Systems and lighting that is part of a project-wide lighting scheme) and utility lines serving such utility systems, equipment, machinery and fixtures exclusively (but excluding any of the foregoing that constitutes Shared Facilities), all in accordance with the Project Standard, Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. The Parking Unit Owner shall reasonably cooperate with Shared Facilities Manager to coordinate service vendors for maintenance and repair of the Parking Unit to the extent that Shared Facilities Manager contracts with vendors for the same services for the Shared Facilities. |
| 16.5 | Access. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Shared Facilities Manager shall not have any responsibility for the day to day operation of the Parking Unit, including without limitation, security services (such as security guards or security cameras), parking control equipment or parking revenue equipment for the Parking Unit. The Parking Unit Owner may, but shall not be obligated to, employ its own security personnel for the Parking Unit (who may be independent contractors) and may implement such other reasonable security measures or parking control equipment in the Parking Unit deemed necessary by the Parking Unit Owner for the operation of the Parking Unit. Shared Facilities Manager and the Parking Unit Owner shall cooperate and coordinate with each other (at no out of pocket expense) with respect to security efforts of either party within The Properties. Further, the Parking Unit Owner shall cooperate with reasonable access control measures implemented by Shared Facilities Manager after hours. Neither Declarant, nor Shared Facilities Manager nor Parking Unit Owner guarantee or warrant, expressly or impliedly, any security measures, system or services that may be implemented or installed within The Properties or that any such measures, system or services will prevent intrusions or other losses or occurrences, regardless of whether or not such measures, system or services are designed to monitor same. |
| 16.6 | Estoppel Certificates. Upon the request of any Unit Owner with use rights to the Parking Unit (or its mortgagee), Parking Unit Owner shall furnish an estoppel certificate confirming such information as may be reasonably requested by such parties with respect to its use of the Parking Unit, such as the amount and status of payment of fees and expenses allocated to its Unit (whether as assessments or other charges), if any, for use of the Parking Unit, and whether such Owner or its Permitted Users are in compliance with the provisions of this Declaration or any separate agreement governing such use of the Parking Unit. The estoppel certificate shall be based on the actual knowledge of the Parking Unit Owner without independent investigation. The Parking Unit Owner may establish a reasonable fee to be charged to reimburse it for the cost of preparing any certificates hereunder. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 16.7 | Subordinate Rights; Consent. The rights of the Parking Unit Owner under this Article shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of Shared Facilities Manager under this Declaration.

Each Owner shall keep its address updated with Shared Facilities Manager and shall have the right to designate a different address from time to time by notice similarly given to Shared Facilities Manager, with a specific direction to update the records of Shared Facilities Manager, at least thirty (30) days before the effective date thereof.

Declaration of Covenants
| 17.8 | Assignment Option. Shared Facilities Unit Owner shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to establish a Florida not-for-profit corporation (the “Successor Corporation”), and to designate the Successor Corporation as Shared Facilities Manager hereunder. Upon such designation by the Shared Facilities Unit Owner, the Successor Corporation shall be Shared Facilities Manager for purposes of this Declaration, unless and until another entity shall be designated as Shared Facilities Manager by Shared Facilities Unit Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration. The sole members of the Successor Corporation shall be the Unit Owners, whose membership interests and voting interests shall be equivalent to and in the same percentage as each Unit Owner’s proportionate share of Shared Facilities Costs under Section 15.3.

| 17.10 | Standards for Consent, Approval and Other Actions. Whenever this Declaration shall require the consent, approval, completion, substantial completion, or other action by Declarant or its affiliates, or Shared Facilities Manager, (a) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such consent, approval or action may be withheld in the sole and unfettered discretion of the party requested to give such consent or approval or take such action, and shall not be deemed given unless granted in writing by the party receiving the request, and (b) all matters required to be completed or substantially completed by Declarant or its affiliates shall be deemed so completed or substantially completed when such matters have been completed or substantially completed in the reasonable opinion of Declarant. Without limiting the foregoing, no consent or approval shall be granted if the matter or action that is the subject of the consent or approval is not consistent with the Project Standard in the reasonable judgment of Shared Facilities Manager. |

NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, HAVE BEEN GIVEN OR MADE BY DECLARANT, SHARED FACILITIES MANAGER, SHARED FACILITIES UNIT OWNER, PARKING UNIT OWNER OR ITS OR THEIR AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SHARED FACILITIES, THE PARKING UNIT OR ITS OR THEIR PHYSICAL CONDITION, ZONING, COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBDIVISION, SALE, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, COST OF MAINTENANCE, TAXES OR REGULATION THEREOF, EXCEPT (A) AS SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS DECLARATION OR IN DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY BE FILED BY DECLARANT FROM TIME TO TIME WITH APPLICABLE REGULATORY AGENCIES, AND (B) AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EACH OWNER RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT IN A STRUCTURE THE SIZE OF THAT ON THE PROPERTIES, IT IS TYPICAL TO EXPECT BOWING AND/OR DEFLECTION OF MATERIALS. ACCORDINGLY, INSTALLATION OF FINISHES MUST TAKE SAME INTO ACCOUNT. FURTHER, EACH OWNER RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING SCHEME FOR THE BUILDING MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE ILLUMINATION. ACCORDINGLY, INSTALLATION OF WINDOW TREATMENTS SHOULD TAKE SAME INTO ACCOUNT. AMONG OTHER ACTS OF GOD AND UNCONTROLLABLE EVENTS, HURRICANES AND FLOODING HAVE OCCURRED IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE PROPERTIES ARE EXPOSED TO THE POTENTIAL DAMAGES FROM FLOODING AND FROM HURRICANES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FROM STORM SURGES AND WIND-DRIVEN RAIN.

EACH OWNER IS HEREBY ADVISED THAT CERTAIN MOLDS, MILDEW, TOXINS AND/OR FUNGI MAY BE, OR IF ALLOWED TO REMAIN FOR A SUFFICIENT PERIOD MAY BECOME, TOXIC AND POTENTIALLY POSE A HEALTH RISK. BY ACQUIRING TITLE TO A CONDOMINIUM UNIT AND/OR UNIT, OR PORTIONS THEREOF, EACH OWNER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EACH CONDOMINIUM UNIT OWNER, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ASSUMED THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MOLDS, MILDEW, TOXINS AND/OR FUNGI AND TO HAVE RELEASED SHARED FACILITIES MANAGER, SHARED FACILITIES UNIT OWNER AND DECLARANT FROM ANY AND LIABILITY RESULTING FROM SAME. |
Declaration of Covenants
AS TO SUCH WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, AND TO OTHER CLAIMS, IF ANY, WHICH CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AFORESAID MATTERS, ALL INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING THEREFROM ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. ALL OWNERS, BY VIRTUE OF ACCEPTANCE OF TITLE TO THEIR RESPECTIVE UNITS AND/OR STRUCTURES (WHETHER FROM DECLARANT OR ANOTHER PARTY) SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AUTOMATICALLY WAIVED ALL OF THE AFORESAID DISCLAIMED WARRANTIES AND INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
| 17.15 | Covenants Running With The Land. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding and without limiting the generality (and subject to the limitations) of Section 17.1 hereof, it is the intention of all parties affected hereby (and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns) that these covenants and restrictions shall run with The Properties and with title to The Properties. Without limiting the generality of Section 17.5 hereof, if any provision or application of this Declaration would prevent this Declaration from running with The Properties as aforesaid, such provision and/or application shall be judicially modified, if at all possible, to come as close as possible to the intent of such provision or application and then be enforced in a manner which will allow these covenants and restrictions to so run with The Properties; but if such provision and/or application cannot be so modified, such provision and/or application shall be unenforceable and considered null and void in order that the paramount goal of the parties (that these covenants and restrictions run with The Properties as aforesaid) be achieved. |
| 17.16 | Development Rights. All Development Rights in excess of the Development Rights required to develop and construct, and/or remaining after the development and construction of the Units that comprise, Paseo de la Riviera are and shall be deemed owned by the Shared Facilities Unit Owner and appurtenant to the Shared Facilities Unit, but shall not be deemed included in or part of the Shared Facilities under any circumstances. Shared Facilities Unit Owner shall have the right, at its option and in its sole discretion, to transfer such excess or remaining Development Rights (or any portion thereof or interest therein) from time to time and at any time to any other person or entity without any duty or obligation to account for such transfer to any Unit Owner or other party under this Declaration. The proceeds of such transfer shall be personal to Shared Facilities Unit Owner and shall not be applied to or used to offset Shared Facilities Costs. |
| 17.17 | Declaration Controls. This Declaration is the Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements for Paseo de la Riviera referred to and defined as part of the “Master Agreements” under the Existing Declaration. The rights and easements established by the Existing Declaration have been further defined in and are subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of this Declaration and any and all rules, regulations, guidelines, criteria and other requirements contained herein or promulgated pursuant hereto, all as contemplated by the Existing Declaration. The Existing Declaration is part of the Project Encumbrances and, therefore, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Declaration relating to Project Encumbrances. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations set forth in the Existing Declaration and this Declaration, this Declaration shall govern and control in all instances; provided, however, that Paseo de la Riviera shall at all times be maintained and operated as a single development and building site for zoning purposes. |
Declaration of Covenants
| 17.18 | CPI. Whenever specific dollar amounts are stated in this Declaration or any exhibits hereto, unless limited by Legal Requirements or the specific text hereof (or thereof), such amounts shall increase from time to time by application of a nationally recognized consumer price index chosen by Shared Facilities Manager (rounded, in the case of insurance, to the closes $1,000 increment), using the date this Declaration is recorded as the base year. In the event no such consumer price index is available, Shared Facilities Manager shall choose a reasonable alternative to compute such increases. In no event shall increases under this provision occur more frequently than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the recording of this Declaration and each fifth (5th) anniversary thereafter. |
| 18. | DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER DOCUMENT GOVERNING OR BINDING THE PROPERTIES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “GOVERNING DOCUMENTS”), NEITHER DECLARANT, SHARED FACILITIES MANAGER, SHARED FACILITIES UNIT OWNER OR PARKING UNIT OWNER SHALL BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR, OR IN ANY MANNER A GUARANTOR OR INSURER OF, THE HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF ANY OWNER, OCCUPANT OR USER OF ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, RESIDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, GUESTS, INVITEES, AGENTS, SERVANTS, CONTRACTORS OR SUBCONTRACTORS OR FOR ANY PROPERTY OF ANY SUCH PERSONS.

| (b) | NEITHER DECLARANT, SHARED FACILITIES MANAGER, SHARED FACILITIES UNIT OWNER OR PARKING UNIT OWNER IS EMPOWERED NOR ESTABLISHED TO ACT AS AN ENTITY WHICH ENFORCES OR ENSURES THE COMPLIANCE WITH THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, STATE OF FLORIDA, THE COUNTY, THE CITY AND/OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY OR THE PREVENTION OF TORTIOUS ACTIVITIES; AND |
| (c) | ANY PROVISIONS OF THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS SETTING FORTH THE USES OF ASSESSMENTS WHICH RELATE TO HEALTH, SAFETY AND/OR WELFARE SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND APPLIED ONLY AS LIMITATIONS ON THE USES OF ASSESSMENT FUNDS AND NOT AS CREATING A DUTY OF THE RECIPIENT OF SUCH ASSESSMENT FUNDS TO PROTECT OR FURTHER THE HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF ANY PERSON(S), EVEN IF ASSESSMENT FUNDS ARE CHOSEN TO BE USED FOR ANY SUCH REASON. |
EACH OWNER (BY VIRTUE OF ACCEPTANCE OF TITLE TO ITS UNIT) AND EACH OTHER PERSON HAVING AN INTEREST IN OR LIEN UPON, OR MAKING ANY USE OF, ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTIES (BY VIRTUE OF ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST OR LIEN OR MAKING SUCH USES) SHALL BE BOUND BY THIS ARTICLE AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AUTOMATICALLY WAIVED ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST DECLARANT, SHARED FACILITIES MANAGER, SHARED FACILITIES UNIT OWNER OR PARKING UNIT OWNER ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH ANY MATTER FOR WHICH THE LIABILITY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PARTIES HAS BEEN DISCLAIMED IN THIS ARTICLE.
