This Section 10.5 shall not be construed as an independent source of authority for the Association to incur expense, but shall be construed to prescribe the manner of assessing expenses authorized by other sections of this Declaration. Any amounts assessed pursuant to this Section shall be assessed to Owners according to their Allocated Interests for Common Expenses, subject to the right of the Association to assess only against the Owners of affected Residential Units any extraordinary maintenance, repair or restoration work on fewer than all of the Residential Units shall be borne by the Owners of those affected Residential Units only, and any extraordinary insurance costs incurred as a result of the value of a particular Owner's Residential Unit or the actions of a particular Owner (or his agents, servants, guests, tenants or invitees) shall be borne by that Owner. Notice in writing of the amount of such Special Assessments and the time for payment of the Special Assessments shall be given promptly to the Owners, and no payment shall be due less than ten (10) days after such notice shall have been given.
Section 10.6 Default Assessments. All monetary fines assessed against an
Owner pursuant to the Association Documents, or any expense of the Association which is the obligation of an Owner or which is incurred by the Association on behalf of the Owner pursuant to the Association Documents, shall be a Default Assessment and shall become a lien against such Owner's Residential Unit which may be foreclosed or otherwise collected as provided in this Declaration. Notice of the amount and due date of such Default Assessment shall be sent to the Owner subject to such Assessment at least ten (10) days prior to the due date.
Section 10.7 Effect of Nonpayment; Assessment Lien. Any Assessment installment, whether pertaining to any Annual, Special or Default Assessment, which is not paid on or before its due date shall be delinquent. If an Assessment installment becomes delinquent, the Association, in its sole discretion, may take any or all of the following actions:
  1. Assess a late charge for each delinquency in such amount as the Association deems appropriate;
  2. Assess an interest charge from the due date at the yearly rate of eighteen percent (18%), or such other lawful rate as the Executive Board may establish;
  3. Suspend the voting rights of the Owner during any period of delinquency;
  4. Suspend the rights of the Owner, and the Owner(s family, guests, lessees and invitees, to use Common Element facilities during any period of delinquency;
  5. Accelerate all remaining Assessment installments so that unpaid Assessments for the remainder of the fiscal year shall be due and payable at once;
  6. Bring an action at law against any Owner personally obligated to pay the delinquent Assessments; and
  7. Proceed with foreclosure as set forth in more detail below.
Assessments chargeable to any Residential Unit shall constitute a lien on such Residential Unit. The Association may institute foreclosure proceedings against the defaulting Owner's Residential Unit in the manner for foreclosing a mortgage on real property under the laws of the State of Colorado. In the event of any such foreclosure, the Owner shall be liable for the amount of unpaid Assessments, any penalties and interest thereon, the cost and expenses of such proceedings, the cost and expenses for filing the notice of the claim and lien, and all reasonable attorneVs fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the lien. The Association shall have the power to bid on a Residential Unit at foreclosure sale and to acquire and hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same.
Section 10.8 Personal Obligation. Each Assessment against a Residential Unit is the personal obligation of the person who owned the Residential Unit at the time the Assessment became due and shall not pass to successors in title unless they agree to assume the obligation. No Owner may exempt himself from liability for the Assessment by abandonment of his Residential Unit or by waiver of the use or enjoyment of all or any part of the Common Elements, if any. Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments, any penalties and interest thereon, the cost and expenses of such proceedings, and all reasonable attorneys fees in connection therewith shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the Assessment lien provided in this Declaration.
Section 10.9 Payment by Mortgagee. Any Mortgagee holding a lien on a Residential Unit may pay any unpaid Assessment payable with respect to such Residential Unit, together with any and all costs and expenses incurred with respect to the lien, and upon such payment that Mortgagee shall have a lien on the Residential Unit for the amounts paid with the same priority as the lien of the Mortgage.
Section 10.10 Statement of Status of Assessment Payment. Upon payment of a reasonable fee set from time to time by the Executive Board and upon fourteen (14) days' written request to the Association's registered agent by personal delivery or certified mail, first-class postage prepaid, return receipt, any Owner, designee of Owner, Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee or prospective purchaser of a Residential Unit shall be furnished with a written statement setting forth the amount of the unpaid Assessments, if any, with respect to such Residential Unit. Unless such statement shall be issued by personal delivery or by certified mail, first class postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the inquiring party (in which event the date of posting shall be deemed the date of delivery) within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the request, the Association shall have no right to assert a lien upon the Residential Unit over the inquiring party's interest for unpaid Assessments which were due as of the date of the request.
Section 10,11 Maintenance Accounts; Accounting. If the Association delegates powers of the Executive Board or its officers relating to collection, deposit, transfer or disbutsement of Association funds to other persons or to a manager, then such other persons or manager must (a) maintain all funds and accounts of the Association separate from the funds and of other associations managed by the other person or manager, (b) maintain all reserve and working capital accounts of the Association separate from the operational accounts of the Association, and (c) provide to the Association an annual accounting and financial statement of Association funds prepared by the manager, a public accountant or a certified public accountant.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 11.1 The Role of the Executive Board. Except as provided in Section 8.2, in the event of damage to or destruction of all or part of any Common Elements improvement, or other property covered by insurance written in the name of the Association under Article 9, the Executive Board shall arrange for and supervise the prompt repair and restoration of the damaged property (the property insured by the Association pursuant to Article 9 is sometimes referred to as the "Association-Insured Property").
Section 11.2 Disbursement of Funds for Repair and Reconstruction. The insurance proceeds held by the Association and the amounts received from the Special Assessments provided for above, constitute a fund for the payment of the costs of repair and reconstruction after casualty. It shall be deemed that the first money disbursed in payment for the costs of repair and reconstruction shall be made from insurance proceeds, and the balance from the Special Assessments. If there is a balance remaining after payment of all costs of such repair and reconstruction, such balance shall be distributed to the Owners in proportion to the contributions each Owner made as Special Assessments, the remainder to be divided among the Residential Units first to the Mortgagees and then to the Owners, as their interests appear.
ARTICLE 12

CONDEMNATION

Section 12.1 Rights of Owners. Whenever all or any part of the Common Elements shall be taken by any authority having power of condemnation or eminent domain or whenever all or any part of the Common Elements is conveyed in lieu of a taking under threat of condemnation by the Executive Board acting as attorney-in-fact for all Owners under instructions from any authority having the power of condemnation or eminent domain, each Owner shall be entitled to notice of the taking or conveying. The Association shall act as attorney-in-fact for all Owners in the proceedings incident to the condemnation proceeding, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Section 12.2 Partial Condemnation; Distribution of Award; Reconstruction. The award made for such taking shall be payable to the Association for the benefit of the Owners and Mortgagees and, unless otherwise required under the Act, the award shall be disbursed as follows:
If the taking involves a portion of the Common Elements on which improvements have been constructed, then, unless within sixty (60) days after such taking Declarant and Owners who represent at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes of all of the Owners shall otherwise agree, the Association shall restore or replace such Common Elements so taken on the remaining land included in the Common Elements to the extent lands are available for such restoration or replacement in accordance with plans approved by the Executive Board. If such Common Elements are to be repaired or restored, the provisions in Article 11 above regarding the disbursement of funds in respect to casualty damage or destruction which is to be repaired shall apply. If the taking does not involve any Common Elements, or if there is a decision made not to repair or restore, or if there are net funds remaining after any such restoration or replacement is completed, then such award or net funds shall be distributed equally among the Residential Units, first to the Mortgagees and then to the Owners, as their interests appear.
Section 12.3 Complete Condemnation. If all of the Property is taken, condemned, sold or otherwise disposed of in lieu of or in avoidance of condemnation, then the regime created by this Declaration shall terminate, provided that the approval is first obtained of fifty-one percent (51%) of First Mortgagees of Residential Units subject to First Mortgages (which percentage is measured by votes allocated to such Residential Units), and the portion of the condemnation award attributable to the Common Elements shall be distributed as provided in Section 11.2 above.
ARTICLE 13

Acceptance by a grantee of a deed or other instrument of conveyance or any other instrument conveying any portion of the Property shall constitute appointment of the Association as the grantee's attorney-in-fact, and the Association shall have full authorization, right and power to make, execute and deliver any contract, assignment, deed, waiver or other instrument with respect to the interest of any Owner which may be necessary to exercise the powers granted to the Association as attorney-in-fact.
