Exhibit A
Article VI - Restrictions

December 7, 1990

Section A. No unit in the Condominium Project shall be used for other than single family residence purposes (except that persons not of the same immediate family residing together may occupy a unit with written consent of the Board of Directors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the common elements shall be used only for purposes consistent with the use of single-family residences. A family shall mean one person or a group of two or more persons related by bonds of consanguinity, marriage or legal adoption.

Section B. A co-owner may rent or lease his unit for the same purposes set forth in Section A of this Article VI; provided that written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such lease transaction is obtained from the Board of Directors of the Association in the same manner required in sales transactions as specified in Section M of this Article Vl. No co-owner shall lease less than an entire unit. The terms of all leases, occupancy agreements and other occupancy arrangements shall incorporate, or be deemed to incorporate, all of the provisions of the Condominium Documents. Developer may lease any number of units, in its discretion. Tenants and non co-owner occupants shall comply with all of the conditions of the Condominium Documents and all leases and rental agreements, the Association may give written notice of such arrearage to a tenant occupying a unit pursuant to a lease or rental agreement and the tenant, after receipt of such notice, shall deduct from rental payments due the co-owner such arrearage as well as future assessments as they fall due and pay them directly to the Association. Such deductions shall not be a breach of the lease or rental agreement by the tenant. In the event that the Association determines that a tenant or non co-owner occupant has failed to comply with the conditions of the Condominium Documents, the Association shall take the following action:

(1) The Association shall notify the co-owner, by certified mail, of the alleged violation by the tenant or non co-owner occupant.

(2) The co-owner shall have 15 days after receipt of such notice to investigate and correct the alleged violation or advise the Association that such violation has not occurred.

(3) In the event that the Association, after said 15 day period, believes that the alleged violation has not been cured or maybe repeated, it may on its behalf, or derivatively the co-owners may on the Association's behalf, if the Association is under the control of the Developer, institute an action for eviction against the tenant or non co-owner occupant for such violation. Such relief may be summary proceeding. In addition, the Association may hold both the tenant or non co-owner occupant and the co-owner liable for any damages caused by any violation of the Condominium Documents.

Section C. No co-owner shall make alterations in exterior appearance or make structural modifications to his unit (including interior walls through or in which there exists easements for support or utilities) or make changes in any of the common elements, limited or general, without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors including (by way of example and not as limitation) exterior painting or the erection of antennas, lights, aerials, awnings, doors, windows, shutters or other exterior attachments or modifications or attachments to common element walls between units which in any way impairs sound conditioning provisions. The Board of Directors may approve only such modifications as do not impair the soundness, safety, utility or appearance of the Condominium Project.

Section D. No immoral, improper, unlawful or offensive activity shall be carried on in any unit or upon the common elements, limited or general, nor shall anything be done which may be or become an annoyance or a nuisance to the co-owners of the Condominium Project, nor shall any unreasonably noisy activity be carried on in any unit or on the common elements. No co-owner shall do or permit anything to be done or keep or permit to be kept in his unit or on the common elements anything which will increase the rate of insurance on the Condominium Project without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors and each co-owner shall pay to the Association the increase cost of insurance premiums resulting from any such activity or the maintenance of any such condition.

Section E. No animals, except one dog or one cat which is owned by a co-owner at the time legal or equitable title is conveyed to such co-owner, shall be maintained by any co-owner without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors. Any co-owner who causes any animal to be brought to kept upon the premises of the Condominium Project shall indemnify and hold the Association harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage and liability which the Association may sustain as a result of the presence of such animal within the Condominium Project. No animal may be permitted to run loose at any time upon the common elements and any animal shall at all times be attended by a responsible person while on the common elements, limited or general. The Association may charge all co-owners maintaining animals a reasonable additional assessment to be collected in the manner provided in Article II hereof in the event that the Association determines such assessment necessary to delay the maintenance cost to the Association of accommodating animals within the Condominium Project. The Association shall have the right to require that any pets be registered with it and may adopt such additional reasonable rules and regulations with respect to animals as it may deem proper.

Section F. The common elements, limited or general, shall not be used for storage of supplies, materials, personal property or trash or refuse of any kind, except as provided in duly adopted Rules and Regulations of the Association. Trash receptacles shall be maintained in areas designated therefor at all times and shall not be permitted to remain elsewhere on the common elements except for such short periods of time as may be reasonably necessary to permit periodic collection of trash. The common elements shall not be used in any way for drying, shaking or airing of clothing or other fabrics. Automobiles may only be washed in areas approved by the Association. In general, no activity shall be carried on nor condition maintained by a co-owner either in his unit or upon the common elements, which spoils the appearance of the Condominium Project.

Section G. Sidewalks, yards, landscaped areas, driveways, roads, parking areas and porches shall not be obstructed in any way nor shall they be used for purposes other than those for which they are reasonably and obviously intended. No bicycles, vehicles, chairs, or benches may be left unattended on or about the general common elements. Use of any recreational facilities in the Condominium Project may be limited to such times and in such manner as the Association shall determine by duly adopted regulations.

Section H. No house trailers, commercial vehicles, boat trailers, boats, camping vehicles, camping trailers, snowmobiles, snowmobile trailers or vehicles other than automobiles, vans and pick-up trucks driven for personal use may be parked or stored upon the premises of the Condominium Project, unless approved by the Board of Directors or unless parked in an area specifically designated therefor by the Association. Commercial vehicles and trucks shall not be parked in or about the Condominium Project (except as above provided) unless while making deliveries or pickups in the normal course of business. Each co-owner shall park such automobile, van or pick-up truck in the spaces provided therefor. Co-owners shall, if required by the Association, register with the Association all automobiles maintained by them within the Condominium Project.

Section I. No co-owner shall use or permit the use of any firearms, air rifles, pellet guns, B-B guns, bow and arrows or other similar dangerous weapons, projectiles or devices anywhere on or about the Condominium Project by any occupant, agent, employee, invitee, guest or member of his family.

Section J. No signs or other advertising devises shall be displayed which are visible from the exterior of a unit or on the common elements, including "For Sale" signs, without the prior written approval of the Association.

Section K. Reasonable rules and regulations consistent with the Act, the Master Deed and these Bylaws, concerning the use of the common elements may be made and amended from time to time by any Board of Directors of the Association, including the first Board of Directors (or its successors elected by the Developer) prior to the First Annual Meeting of members held as provided in Article I hereof. Copies of all such regulations and amendments thereto shall be furnished to all co-owners and shall become effective thirty (30) days after mailing or delivery thereof to the designated voting representatives of each co-owner. Any regulation or amendment may be revoked at any time by the affirmative vole of more than fifty (50%) percent of all co-owners in number and in value except that the co-owners may not revoke any regulation or amendment prior to said First Annual Meeting of members.

Section L. The Association or its duly authorized agents shall have access to each unit and any limited common elements appurtenant thereto from time to time, during reasonable working hours, upon notice to the co-owner thereof, as may be necessary for the maintenance, repair or replacement of any of the common elements. The Association or its agents shall also have access to each unit and any limited common elements appurtenant thereto at all times without notice as may be necessary to make emergency repairs or to prevent damage to the common elements or to another unit. It shall be the responsibility of each co-owner to provide the Association with a means of access to his unit and any limited common elements appurtenant thereto during all periods of absence and, in the event of the failure of such co-owner to provide a means of access, the Association may gain access in such a manner as may be reasonable under the circumstances and shall not be liable to such co-owner for any necessary damage to his unit and any limited common elements appurtenant thereto caused thereby or for repair or replacement of any doors or windows damages in gaining such access.

Section M. No co-owner may dispose of a unit or any interest therein by sale or lease without the prior written approval of the Association, which approval shall be obtained in the manner hereinafter provided:

(1) A co-owner intending to make a sale or lease of a unit, or any interest therein, shall give written notice of such intention delivered to the Association at its registered office and shall furnish the name and address of the intended purchaser or lessee and such other information as the Association shall reasonably require. At the time of giving such notice, such co-owner shall also furnish the Association with copies of all instruments setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. The giving of such notice shall constitute a warranty and a representation by such co-owner to the Association and to any purchaser or lessee produced by the Association that the co-owner believes the proposed sale or lease to be bona fide in all respects. The selling or leasing co-owner shall be responsible to the Association for any damages suffered by it in exercising its rights hereunder and, in the event that any proposed sale is not bona fide, such damages may include (by way of example and not as limitation) the difference between the price or rent paid by the Association for the unit and the fair market or rental value thereof.

(2) Within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice of intention to sell or lease, the Association shall either approve the transaction or furnish a purchaser or lessee (as the case may be) satisfactory to it and give notice thereof to the selling or leasing co-owner who will immediately execute a control of sale or lease upon terms as favorable to the selling or leasing co-owner as the terms furnished with the notice. During said twenty (20) day period, the Association shall have the right to show the unit to prospective purchaser and lessees. A purchaser or lessee furnished by the Association may have not less than thirty (30) days subsequent to the date of his approval by the Association within which to close the transaction. Such selling or leasing co-owner shall be bound to consummate the transaction with such purchaser or lessee as may be approved and furnished by the Association. In the event of a sale, the approval of the Association shall be in recordable form, signed by any authorized officer of the Association. In the event of a sale, the approval of the Association shall be in recordable form, signed by any authorized officer of the Association, and shall be delivered to the purchaser. Failure of the Association to either approve such sale or lease or to furnish an appropriate substitute purchaser of lessee within such twenty (20) day period for any reason whatsoever shall be deemed to constitute approval; following which the Association shall, nevertheless, prepare and deliver written approval, which in the even of a sale shall be in recordable form.

(3) In the event that a sale or lease transaction in consummated between a co-owner and any proposed purchaser or lessee upon any basis other than as disclosed to the Association, the Association shall then have the same rights to disapprove the transaction and to furnish a purchaser or lessee satisfactory to it as are expressed in subsections (1) and (2) of this Section M, and such rights to disapprove and to furnish a purchaser or lessee shall expire twenty (20) days after the Board of Directors receive knowledge at a director's meeting of the actual terms of the transaction or one (1) year after consummation of the original transaction, whichever occurs first.

(4) The Developer shall not be subject to this Section M in the sale or lease of any unit following establishment of the Condominium Project. Furthermore, Developer hereby reserves the right to retain any units either for its own use and enjoyment, or for the purpose of the rental thereof.

(5) This Section M shall not apply to a public or private sale held pursuant to foreclosure of a first mortgage lien on any unit.

(6) The holder of any first mortgage lien covering any unit in the Condominium

Project which comes into possession of the unit covered by such mortgage pursuant to the remedies provided in the mortgage, foreclosure of the mortgage or deed (or assignment) in lieu of foreclosure, shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section M.

Section N. No co-owner shall perform any landscaping or plant any trees, shrubs or flowers or place any ornamental materials upon the common elements without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors.

Section O. No unsightly condition shall be maintained upon any balcony, porch or patio, and only furniture and equipment consistent with ordinary balcony, porch or patio use shall be permitted to remain there during seasons when such areas are reasonably in use, and no furniture or equipment of any kind shall be stored on balconies, porches or patios during seasons when such areas are not reasonably in use.

Section P. Each co-owner shall maintain his unit and any limited common elements appurtenant thereto for which he has maintenance responsibility in a safe, clean and sanitary condition. Each co-owner shall also use due care to avoid damaging any of the common elements including (by way of example and not as limitation) the telephone, water, gas, plumbing, electrical, cable television or other utility conduits and systems and any other elements in any unit which are appurtenant to or which may affect any other unit. Each co-owner shall be responsible for damages or costs to the Association resulting from negligent damage to or misuse of any of the common elements by him, or by his family, guests, lessees, agents or invitees, unless such damages or costs are covered by insurance carried by the Association in which event there shall be no such responsibility (unless reimbursement to the Association is excluded by virtue of a deductible provision, in which even the responsible co-owner shall bear the expense to the extent of the deductible amount). Any damages or costs to the Association may be assessed to and collected from the responsible co-owner in the manner provided in Article II hereof.

Section Q. Neither the restrictions contained in this Article VI, nor those of the Association adopted in furtherance of its powers and purposes set forth herein and in its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws as the same may, from time to time, be amended, shall apply to the commercial activities or signs or billboards, if any, of the Developer during the development and sales period as hereinafter defined. For the purposes of this Section, the development and sales period shall be deemed to continue so long as Developer owns any unit which he offers for sale. Until all units in all phases of the Condominium Project are sold by Developer, Developer shall have the right to maintain a sales office, a business office, a construction office, model units, storage areas, reasonable parking incident to the foregoing and such access to, from and over the Condominium Project as may be reasonable to enable development and sale of the entire Condominium Project by Developer. Developer shall restore the areas so utilized to habitable status upon termination of such use.
