Note: If the actual or anticipated date of commencement of condominium operation is
delayed more than six months from the budget year projected in the offering plan, the plan must
be amended to include a revised budget disclosing current projections. If such amended
projections exceed the original projections by twenty -five (25%) per cent or more, the sponsor
must offer all purchasers the right to rescind and a reasonable period of time that is not less than
fifteen (15) days of the date of presentation to exercise the right, whether or not the sponsor
offers to guarantee the previous budget projection. Sponsor must return any deposit or down
payment to purchasers who rescind within a reasonable period of time. Sponsor may not declare

11. Reserve Fund ($3,000)
Replacement reserves for capital expenditures and deferred maintenance are budgeted ,
which is approximately ten percent (10%) of the budget. There can be no assurance that such
fund will be sufficient to pay for major capital repairs or replacement items, which may be
needed within the first five years of condominium operation. If additional funds are required
over and above these funds, it may be necessary to increase Common Charges or separately
assess all Unit Owners. In the event of any material change in the budget, this Offering Plan will
be amended. This projection is based upon the experience of the budget expert in the
management of similar buildings.

Each Unit Owner shall have an obligation to pay Common Charges and Special
Assessments when due. Except as set forth in the Notes to Schedule B and as otherwise
provided in the By -Laws, Common Charges for each Unit shall be determined by multiplying
that Unit’s percentage of Common Interest by the total annual net expenses incurred or
anticipated to be incurred for those items listed in Schedule B herein, together with the expense

at a later date or with respect to a subsequent failure to pay within the designated time.
The failure to make prompt payment of Common Charges or Special Assessments when due
shall subject the Unit Owner to a late charge as described in the By -Law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Sponsor, any Sponsor -designee and any partner of any entity affiliated directly or
indirectly with Sponsor shall not be subject to the late charge. The Sponsor will cause the Board
of Managers to file a lien as provided for in Section 339 -aa of the Real Property Law on Units in
which Sponsor is more than 30 days in arrears of Common Charges while it is in control of the
Board of Managers.
No Unit Owner shall be liable for the payment of any part of the Common Charges
assessed against his or her Unit subsequent to a sale, transfer, or other conveyance made by him
or her of his or her Unit, with appurtenant Common Elements, in accordance with the

managers may be deducted only from the working capital fund. The approximate amount of such
adjustment is $1,000 or about one half of one month’s common charges. The net adjustments for
prepaid expenses, if in favor of the sponsor, are to be paid by deduction of the prepaid amount
from the working capital fund. There will be a minimum working capital fund of $1,500

Owners for the amount of such deficiency in proportion to their respective Common Interests
and all proceeds of such Special Assessment shall become part of the Trust Funds. If,
conversely, the Trust Funds shall prove to be more than sufficient to discharge the cost and
expense of performing the Work, such excesses shall be paid to all Unit Owners in proportion to
their respective Common Interests, except that no payment shall be made to a Unit Owner until
there has first been paid, out of said Unit Owner’s share of such excess, such amounts as may be
necessary to reduce unpaid liens on the Unit Owner’s Unit (other than mortgages that are not
Permitted Mortgages) in the order of priority of such liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

In the event of a proposed sale of any Unit, the Board of Managers (for so long as the Board of
Managers is still paying such real estate taxes, water charges and sewer rents as agent for the
Unit Owners) shall, upon the written request of the selling Unit Owner, execute and deliver to
the purchaser of such Unit or to such purchasers title company, a letter agreeing to promptly pay

Board of Managers shall submit to each Unit Owner, and, if so requested, to any Permitted

contained in Section 2.5 hereof, to levy Special Assessments to meet the Common Expenses. All
Special Assessments shall be levied against all Unit Owners in proportion to their respective
Common Interest and may be payable either in one lump sum or in installments, as the Board of
Managers shall determine, provided, however, that the Board of Managers shall give each Unit
Owner not less than 15 days’ written notice prior to the date upon which such Special
Assessment, or the first installment thereof, shall be due and payable, which notice shall set
forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and purposes thereof. The Board of Managers shall have

thereof at such time or times (but not less than annually) as the Board of Managers shall
determine. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, Common Charges shall be
payable in installments on the first day of every month in advance. To the extent permitted by
Law, the Board of Managers shall have a lien on each Unit, on behalf of all Unit Owners, for
unpaid Common Charges and Special Assessments assessed against such Unit. Such lien,
however, shall be subordinate, to the extent required by Law, to any liens for real estate taxes
assessed against such Unit and to any sums unpaid on a Permitted First Mortgage of record

the owner of a Unit shall be liable for the payment of all Common Charges and any Special
Assessments accrued and unpaid against such Unit prior to his or her acquisition thereof, except
that, to the extent permitted by Law, a Permitted First Mortgage acquiring title to a mortgaged
Unit or a purchaser at a mortgage foreclosure sale hold with respect to a Permitted First
Mortgage shall not be liable and such mortgaged Unit shall not be subject to a lien, for the

obligation to pay Common Charges and Special Assessments with respect to Unsold Units shall
not exceed the amount by which the actual operating costs of the Condominium (including
reserves authorized hereunder) shall exceed the sum of the Common Charges and Special
Assessments levied on Unit owners (other than Sponsor).
Section 6.3 Statement of Common Charges . The Board of Managers shall promptly provide a
written statement of all unpaid Common Charges due from any Unit Owner upon its receipt of a
written request therefor from such Unit Owner. In addition, each Unit Owner shall be permitted
to examine books of account of the Condominium at reasonable times on weekdays.

late charges, interest, costs and expenses and rentals shall be added to and shall constitute
Common Charges or Special Assessments payable by such Unit Owner.
(C) In any action brought by the Board of Managers to foreclose a lien on a Unit because
of unpaid Common Charges, the Board of Managers shall have, on behalf of all Unit Owners, the
power to purchase such Unit at the foreclosure sale thereof and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage ,
convey, or otherwise deal with such Unit (but not to vote the votes appurtenant to the Unit). In
the event that the net proceeds received on such foreclosure (after deduction of all legal fees and
disbursements, advertising costs, brokerage commissions, court costs and other costs and
expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith) shall be insufficient to satisfy the defaulting

purchase, the Board of Managers may levy a Special Assessment against each Unit Owner (other
than the Offeree Unit Owner) in accordance with the terms of paragraph (C) of Section 6.1
hereof and/or the Board of Managers may, in its discretion, finance the acquisition of such Unit;
provided, however, that no such financing may be secured by an encumbrance on or a
hypothecation of any portion of the Property other than the Unit to be purchased together with its
Appurtenant Interests and apportioned Limited Common Element, if any. In addition, if the
Outside Offeror was to seems or to take title to the Unit subject to the Offeree Unit Owner’s
existing mortgage or mortgages pursuant to the Sale or Lease Agreement, the Board of Managers
may purchase the Unit and assume or take title thereto subject to such mortgage or mortgages, as

(B) No Unit Owner shall execute any mortgage or other document mortgaging,
pledging or hypothecating title to his or her Unit without including therein its Appurtenant
Interests, it being the intention to prevent any severance of such combined ownership. Any
mortgage or other instrument purporting to affect one or more of such interests without including
any such interests shall be deemed and taken to include the interest or interests so omitted, even
though the latter shall not be expressly mentioned or described therein.
(C) Any mortgage covering a Unit shall be substantially in the form of the New York
statutory form of mortgage, except for such changes or
