CONDOMINIUM OWNERSHIP

To understand best how your community functions and how it can better serve you,
one should fully understand the condominium concept.

The term "condominium" refers to a form of property ownership rather than a
type of architecture. While used for centuries in Europe, condominium ownership in the
United States only became widespread in the late 1960's.

Just like the owner of a detached single family home, the condominium Unit Owner
is the sole owner of his Unit, holding title in fee simple. But in addition, the condominium
Unit Owner holds an undivided interest in other property including the land upon which
the entire condominium is developed, the parking facilities, gardens, recreation areas,
swimming pools, tennis courts and other community facilities and property. The property
owned in common is referred to as the common elements. Each Unit Owner's share of
ownership is set forth in the Declaration and the Bylaws. These documents were recorded
by the property's developer, Montebello Associates, who is the Declarant under terms of
the Virginia Condominium Act. The share of common element ownership is characterized
as an undivided interest. It is this ownership of an undivided interest in the common
elements which distinguishes condominium ownership from other forms of property
ownership.

The Unit Owners undivided interest in the common elements referred to as a
percentage interest, confers upon the Unit Owner membership in the Unit Owners
Association. The Unit Owners obligation to pay a share of the expenses of operating and
maintaining the common elements is related to the percentage interest pertaining to each
Unit.

Certain common elements are designated as limited common elements. A limited
common element is a portion of the common element set aside for use by less than all of
the Unit Owners. In most cases, a specific limited common element is for the use and
enjoyment of the owner and occupants of just one Unit. The Unit Owner of a Unit to
which a limited common element is assigned has a special right to use the limited common
element as set forth in the condominium instruments. Examples of limited common
elements are assigned garage spaces and balconies.

Some common elements may be designated as reserved common elements. A
reserved common element is a portion of the common elements that may be set aside for
use by any number or all of the Unit Owners by the Board of Directors of the Unit Owners
Association. A reasonable fee may be charged for use of a reserved common element and
use must be in accordance with rules established by the Board. Examples of reserved
common elements are the party rooms and storage bins.

THE MONTEBELLO CONDOMINIUM

Montebello is an original construction condominium developed under the Virginia
Condominium Act. Development was initiated in November, 1979 and completed in June,
1986.

The Public Offering Statement (POS) received by each original purchaser gives
details on the Montebello development. A careful study of the complete POS will give you
a better understanding of your new community.

MONTEBELLO CONDOMINIUM
UNIT OWNERS ASSOCIATION

The Unit Owners Association is the organization responsible for administering the
condominium. Each Unit Owner has a vote in the Association proportionate to the
percentage interest assigned to his/her Unit. Since a large Unit has a greater percentage
interest, the Unit Owner of a large Unit will have a greater vote in the Association. The
vote for each Unit is equal to the percentage interest assigned to the Unit, as listed in the
Bylaws.

The affairs of the Unit Owners Association are administered by the Board of
Directors. The Board oversees the operation of the Association including staff, contractors
and committees. Under the provisions of the Declaration and Bylaws, the Board of
Directors will be elected by, and from, the Unit Owners.

The operation of the Montebello Condominium Unit Owners Association is
governed by the Virginia Condominium Act, the Declaration, the Bylaws, and Rules and
Regulations in that order of legal precedence. The Virginia Condominium Act is one of
the most comprehensive in the nation. A copy is on file at the Association Office as well as
available for review in most Virginia libraries. The Declaration, Bylaws and Rules and
Regulations were provided to all Unit Owners as part of the Public Offering Statement.
The Association may amend the provisions of the Bylaws (and Rules & Regulations) as
provided by Section 55-79 72 of the Virginia Condominium Act and Article 10 of the
Bylaws. Section 5.3 (1) (b) of the Bylaws authorizes the Board of Directors to change and
promulgate the Rules and Regulations.

Under the Bylaws, the Association is required to retain a professional Managing
Agent which will be selected by the Board to perform these duties.

In addition to provisions for a Board of Directors, Managing Agent and Officers,
the Bylaws provide for annual and special meetings of the Association, annual budget
formulation, common expense assessments, common restrictions of the use of Units and





-3-
1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5

common elements, common element insurance and other matters affecting the occupancy
and operation of the condominium. The Bylaws also require the Board of Directors to
establish a Covenants Committee to assure that the condominium shall always be
maintained in a manner: (1) providing for visual harmony and soundness of repair; (2)
avoiding activities deleterious to the esthetics or property values of the condominium; (3)
furthering the comfort of the Unit Owners, their guests and tenants; and (4) promoting the
general welfare and safety of the condominium community.

ASSOCIATION RESPONSIBILITIES

The Montebello Condominium Unit Owners Association is responsible for
providing many services to the Owners and occupants of Montebello. These
responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE

GROUNDS

Association responsibility for grounds include: seeding, fertilizing, mowing,
trimming, mulching, pruning and planting on the common elements of the community.
Clean-up of the grounds is also the responsibility of the Association. However, the owners
and occupants are responsible for "housecleaning" their own patio areas.

SNOW

The Association provides snow removal service for the common element walks,
parking and private streets. While the Association will make every reasonable effort to
remove snow from the common element sidewalks, it clearly cannot accomplish total
removal in all places at once -- especially while snowfall or sleet is still in progress.

The Association is not responsible for shoveling the snow from, behind the parked
vehicles after the plows are finished plowing the main roads of the community or in aisles
between vehicles. Snow shovels will be available for residents to check out from the
Association Office during normal hours of operation. A photo I.D. must be surrendered as
deposit to check out a snow shovel.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE

This service includes roof repair, exterior caulking, repair of sidewalks, street and
curb repair and maintenance of recreational facilities, lighting repair, painting exterior
portion of entrance doors, etc.

With some exceptions, all exterior maintenance is the responsibility of the
Association. Please do not paint, alter, install plants, or otherwise perform any work on
the exterior of the building or the grounds unless the proposed changes have been
approved by the Covenants Committee. Necessary forms are available in the Association
Office. If you notice an item which requires service, or appears to be a violation of the
community's design standards, please notify the Association Office.

INTERIOR MAINTENANCE

TRASH REMOVAL

The Service room next to the elevators provides a chute for most trash. The chute
empties to a compactor located on level B-3. The chute should be used only during the
hours 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Please do not deposit in the chute lighted cigarettes, etc., or any
flammable material. All newspapers from Montebello are being recycled. Collect your
newspapers and remove anything that is not printed in newsprint, (i.e. Sunday glossy
supplement, plastic bag in which advertisements are delivered). Deposit your newspapers
on the shelves in each trash room. Recycling bins are located on the B3 level of each
building. They will be removed by the Housekeeping personnel. If you have special trash
considerations, call the Association for arrangements. An outside contractor will pick up
the trash from the B-3 level trash room every day except Sunday and holidays.
Association employees will clean the service rooms on each floor.

PEST CONTROL

An exterminator company will make weekly visits to Montebello and will visit the
Unit upon request. As part of your services, specific arrangements must be made at the
Association Office to arrange access. A permit slip must be filled out if access is to be
permitted during the resident's absence.

HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

The common area systems are maintained by the Association to provide heat,
ventilation and air conditioning to the corridors, elevator vestibules and lobbies. A
separate paragraph below will discuss the Unit heating, ventilation and air conditioning
system.

DRAINS

The common area building drain system will be periodically cleared by the
Association. Sewer drain backups are also an Association responsibility if not caused by a
negligent act of a Unit Owner.

FIRE SAFETY

Common area fire protection equipment will be monitored and maintained by the
Association. A list of handicapped residents will be maintained in each building fire
control room for emergency use during a full or partial building evacuation.

LIGHT BULBS

The Association will replace common area light bulbs as required in the lobbies,
corridors, garages, parking areas, etc.

MISCELLANEOUS REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

Exhibit B to the Bylaws describes maintenance responsibilities for Montebello and
distinguishes responsibilities between the Association and Unit Owner. This Exhibit B is
included for reference as an attachment to this document. (Attach.)

IN-UNIT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

The Montebello Condominium Unit Owners Association provides and supports an
In-Unit Service Program whereby a Unit Owner may make use of the expertise of the
Association staff and materials to facilitate prompt repairs within a Unit. The guidelines
and procedures for this program are included as an attachment to this document.

UTILITIES

Electrical service to the Units is separately metered and billed to Unit Owners. Hot
water is gas heated, the gas being paid as a common expense by the Association. Water
and Sewer charges are also paid as a common expense by the Association.

LAUNDRY FACILITIES

Heavy duty laundry equipment is provided on the B-2 level of each high rise
building to supplement the Unit equipment. This equipment is owned and maintained by
the Association.

The equipment in the laundry rooms is coin-operated. The Association has set the
price for the laundry equipment, trying only to cover the expense of offering this service.
The Association receives revenue from the laundry rooms, but has to pay the costs of
maintaining and providing utilities for the laundry equipment, heating, cooling and
lighting of the rooms. Maintenance of the machines is the responsibility of the Association.
Additional operating information and instructions are located in the laundry rooms.







-7-


1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5



STORAGE FACILITIES

Each high rise unit has individual storage bins located on levels B-1, B-2 or B-3.
These bins are considered reserved common elements and are the responsibility of the
Unit Owner to keep orderly and clean. Each bin is individually numbered and assigned.
The responsibility for bulb replacement and keeping the storage room corridors clean is
that of the Association. Access to the storage rooms is limited between the hours 8 a.m. and
10 p.m daily and the Unit Owner's storage room key will provide room access. It is the
residents responsibility to secure individual storage bins and to periodically check the
status of the bin and its condition.


THE ASSOCIATION ASSUMES NO LIABILITY, AND SPECIFICALLY DISAVOWS
ANY RESPONSIBILITY, FOR ANY ITEM(S) PLACED IN STORAGE BY A UNIT
OWNER OR TENANT OF A UNIT AT MONTEBELLO.


RESALE ASSISTANCE

Under the Virginia Condominium Act, Unit Owners are required to provide
certain information to the resale purchaser. To assist the selling Unit Owner, the
Association will compile and provide the information required by the Virginia Act for a
fee, as provided in the Condominium Act. Contact the Association Office in writing when
this certificate is required, giving a minimum of ten (10) days notice and enclose a fee of
$100.00.


COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Recreational, social, cultural and educational activities are coordinated by the
Community Activities Program Manager. The Community Activity Program Manager is
an Association employee. Information on these programs will be available at the
Association Office in the Community Center and through articles from time to time in the
community newsletter. With exception of the activities office overhead, most social and
cultural aspects of this program will be self-supporting.

MAIL

Though located in Fairfax County, the post office designation is Alexandria. The
branch post office (zip code 22303) is the Jefferson Manor Post Office located at 5908
North Kings Highway across from the Huntington Metro Station, (telephone 960-4440).
Mail to high rise Unit Owners/Residents will be deposited in boxes located in the lobby
area. Keys are issued to all owners. The Association does not have access to the
mailboxes. Replacement keys are not available from the Association. Problems with
mailboxes have to be resolved with the U.S. Postal Service. Outgoing mail may be
deposited in the U.S. Mail outlets on each floor.

PARCEL POST LOCKERS

There are Parcel Post Lockers in the lobby of each building. These lockers will be
utilized by the United States Postal Service. All other deliveries such as United Parcel
Service (UPS), Federal Express, etc., will only deliver directly to the Unit. The lockers are
of various sizes and should accommodate daily parcel deliveries. However, during peak
holiday periods, residents may have to pick up their packages from the Jefferson Manor
Post Office. Parcels that are too large for the lockers will be left at the post office. The
locker system works as follows: a) The Postman will put the parcel in a numbered locker
b) The key to that locker will be placed in the residents mailbox c) The resident will use
that key to access the locker and remove their packages d) The resident will leave the key
in the locker lock for the postman the next day.

MAIL FOR MANAGEMENT

Mail for the Board or committees, Association correspondence (in unit service
payments) may be dropped in the Association Correspondence slot located in the lobby of
each building and will be picked-up once a week. Please put name, building number, and
Unit number on in unit service checks and make payable to: Montebello Condominium
Unit Owners Association. Notices of monthly Unit assessments whether on EFT
(electronic fund transfer) or coupons are mailed to all Unit Owners annually.

MASTER TV ANTENNA SYSTEM (MATV)

Each Unit room (living area) has an outlet for access to the building master TV
antenna system (MATV). All original owners were issued a cable to connect their TV to
the wall receptacle. Maintenance of MATV is the responsibility of the Association and any
requests for maintenance should be directed to the Association Office after ascertaining
that the problem is not in your individual set or connection.

If maintenance on the Master Antenna System is required, it may be necessary to
access each unit in a particular tier to troubleshoot, service or repair the MATV. This
repair work will be scheduled in advance and Unit Owners will receive timely notice of
access requirements.

ACCESS CONTROL

1. Access to Montebello is through the controlled access gates off Richmond
Highway. Occupants with an appropriate identification sticker attached to the left side of
the front bumper and in possession of a Gate Control Card or remote control will be
permitted access.

2. Guests, employees, tradespeople, deliverymen and other invitees will be admitted
by the Safety and Access Control (SAC) Department after obtaining proper identification.
Proper identification requires that the security specialist check with the appropriate
occupants, or with the Association Office in the event that the occupant is not at home, to
determine if access should be permitted. If you are expecting ten (10) or more guests,
please provide the Association with an alphabetized list of their names 24 hours in
advance, in order to expedite their admittance to the property.

3. If you are expecting guests, please notify the gatehouse personnel; then, upon
arrival of your guests, they will be admitted. However, if there is no advance notice of an
occupant expecting a guest, the SAC Monitor will phone the appropriate occupant prior to
permitting the guest(s) to enter. In the event the occupant is not at home, the guest(s) will
be turned away.

BUILDING ACCESS

A. Access into the building can be obtained through various doors from the garage
areas, as well as the main lobby and rear service entrance at the ground level. The
COMMON AREA KEY will unlock these doors.

B. Most doorways leading from the garage areas to the building are equipped with
common area locks that can be unlocked by an occupant's COMMON AREA KEY. Entry
to the elevator lobby and stairwells above the B-1 level is accessible only by use of a
common area key.
-10-

1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5


C. A closed circuit TV camera is installed at the front lobby door and rear service
entrance and is monitored on a video camera at the maingate. In the event anyone wishes
to enter these doors without the use of a COMMON AREA KEY, they must be identified
to the SAC Monitor by means of the telephone or intercom system located at these
entrance sites.

D. Guests may obtain entrance only through the front lobby entrance by dialing
the code for the unit they wish to visit on the lobby phone system. Operating instructions
are posted as each building lobby. The resident will press #5 on their touch tone phone,
which will activate the electric lobby door lock and allow guests to enter. Visitors may be
viewed at the lobby door through your TV set (channel 3) if it is connected to the Master
Antenna System.

E. Speed bumps are installed at the entrance to the garages to prevent speeding
vehicles.

F. Inside the building, access can be obtained to the common areas by use of a
COMMON AREA KEY only, and to the Units by use of the UNIT KEY only. The lock
that has been provided on the Unit entrance door has two locking devices. One is referred
to as a night latch and the other as a dead bolt. A key is not required to lock the door by
means of a night latch; however, it is necessary to use the key to operate the dead bolt.

G. The night latch does not provide good security protection; the dead bolt must be
locked in order to obtain the security protection that the lock is made to provide.

H. All residents are requested to extend their full cooperation to ensure that all
common area doors are kept closed. Nothing should be placed in the doors for convenient
access which would prevent their closing.

UNIT ACCESS

A. Every occupant or Unit Owner is expected to cooperate in providing access to
his/her unit.

B. In the event of water leaks, fire, or other emergencies, quick access to Units may
be necessary in order to protect residents and the buildings.

In order to provide for access in such emergencies, if the residents of the Units are
absent, the following keying system has been established:





-11-


1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5

1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5


(1) Each resident, at the time of occupancy, should have keys for the Unit entrance
door lock, keys for the storage bin lock, keys for the storage room, common area keys and
mailbox keys. One Unit key is maintained in the Safety & Access Control Managers
Office and cannot be issued to any unit owner. THESE KEYS ARE USED FOR
EMERGENCY PURPOSES ONLY.

(2) In the event the occupant or Unit Owner has the Unit entrance door lock changed
or installs an additional lock on the Unit entrance door or storage locker, the occupant or
owner must drop off a new copy of the key(s) to the Association Office for the emergency
key cabinet.

(3) Failure to leave a key with the Association Office for the emergency key cabinet
will make the occupant or owner liable for any expense, caused by forcible entry and any
damage to other Units and to the common areas of the Condominium including the repair
of broken doors or locks.

C. If the Condominium engages a contractor to perform repair, improvement, or
preventive work for the benefit of the Unit Owners or occupants, and the performance of
the work requires access to the Units, the occupants thereof may not make unreasonable
demands in providing necessary access. If the Board of Directors finds that an
unreasonable demand on the part of any occupant in such a situation results in additional
cost to the condominium, the additional cost may be assessed against the occupant and/or
owner.

D. As stated above, the emergency key, which must be deposited, is a key for use in
your absence in case of an emergency. For your convenience you may wish to deposit an
extra key with the Association Office. This key will be identified as your Convenience Key
and will be available to you or to those authorized by you on an admit slip. (Some
purposes of a convenience key are permitting access to your Unit if you are not going to be
home for scheduled maintenance work, scheduled deliveries or if you were to be locked out
of your Unit.)

E. Each Unit entrance door in the building is keyed separately. The key for your
Unit door will not open any other door in the building. The common area keys will not
open any Unit entrance door.

RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND ALTERATIONS

A. Each Unit will be used only as the private residence of a Unit Owner, his lessee,
members of his family, guests, and servants.

B. No Unit Owner or occupant may make any structural alteration or change in
electrical or plumbing installations in any Unit or terrace, nor may an occupant install any

without first obtaining written approval of the Board of Directors.

C. No sign of any character shall be erected, posted or displayed upon, in, or from
any condominium unit, common element or limited common element without the prior
consent in writing of the Board of Directors. Identification on doors will be confined to
that standard utilized throughout the project and additional decorations or identifications
shall not be allowed.

PARTY ROOMS

Each high-rise building has a party room for use by the residents. The room is
located on the B-1 level. Reservations and applications for the use of the room will be
made through the Association Office by an adult Unit Owner or a tenant of record. The
maximum capacity in all party rooms is 50 persons. The individual reserving a party
room must be present in the party room for the entire period during which it is in use.
Party room reservations must be accompanied by a non-refundable user fee and a
separate security deposit. See attached fee schedule for exact amounts. After the room is
inspected, the deposit will be returned less any clean-up/repair charges. Party room
reservations cover the use of the party room and existing fixtures only. The individuals
reserving the party room are responsible for the compliance of their guests with all
Association house rules and state and local ordinances including those related to the
consumption of alcoholic beverages. The individual(s) reserving the party room are
responsible for leaving the room in its original condition, including the cleaning of

responsibility or liability for any accident or injury in connection with such use or for any
loss or damage to personal property. Users agree not to hold the Association liable for any
accident or injury resulting from such use. Your common area key will gain you access to

INSURANCE COVERAGE


BETTERMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS

The Board of Directors has obtained insurance to protect the Unit Owners
Association and, to a certain limited extent, the Unit Owners as individuals, as provided in
the Bylaws (Article 6).

Each building, including the Units, will be covered by fire and property damage
insurance. The coverage will be "all risk" and in an amount equal to the full replacement
cost of the building (except for the items not normally insured), subject to reasonable
"deductible" limits. This coverage will not insure personal property belonging to a Unit
Owner (furniture, decoration, belongings, etc.). Appliances and fixtures initially installed
by the Declarant are covered by the condominium policy.

Basically, the blanket condominium policy covers your Unit in the condition and
status it was when originally titled. The policy does not cover contents nor betterments
and improvements. Betterments and improvements means, generally, those items which
are fixed in nature such as wall finishes, fixtures, floor coverings, cabinets which are
installed by a Unit Owner after settlement.

If you have financed your Condominium Unit, you are probably required to
properly insure betterments and improvements. Such coverage can easily be added to
your contents insurance.

If you wish to obtain such betterments and improvements coverage, either contact
your own insurance broker or you may wish to contact the Unit Owners Association
broker which is currently:

NATIONWIDE INSURANCE
GRIFFIN-OWENS AGENCY
847 Station Street
HERNDON, VIRGINIA 22170
PHONE: (703) 471-0050

In any event, a "Betterments and Improvements Insurance Data" form has been
provided for your files, for placing necessary coverage and, for the Association records,
should the need arise in the event of a property loss.

Contents and betterments and improvements coverage is normally written on a
depreciated rather than replacement cost basis and antiques, precious jewelry, and fine
art are not standard inclusions of the types of coverage we have been discussing; thus, you
may wish to discuss those items directly with the insurance broker.

The Unit Owners Association and individual Unit Owners are insured against
liability arising from ownership or use of the common elements. This coverage will not
insure an individual Unit Owner against liability arising from an accident or injury
occurring within his/her Unit or liability arising from the willful or negligent act or
omission of the Unit Owner in either a Unit or upon the common elements. The Board of
Directors also maintains appropriate worker's compensation insurance as necessary and
fidelity coverage to protect the Association's finances.

NOTE: UNIT OWNERS SECURING THEIR OWN INSURANCE MUST REFER
TO ARTICLE 6, OF THE BYLAWS TO BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE
CONFLICTS BETWEEN THEIR OWN POLICIES AND THE
ASSOCIATION'S POLICIES IF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE
BYLAWS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.

In the Master Insurance Policy there is a $5,000 deductible. In the event of damage
due to fire or flood the unit owner is responsible for the $5,000 deductible.

HOW THE SERVICES ARE FUNDED


As seen by the listing in the preceding section, the Unit Owners Association
administers many of the services provided the residents of Montebello. Each year the
Association compiles an annual budget. This budget contains the estimates of expenses
which will have to be met in the coming year, based on the services and programs offered
at Montebello. The budget year starts on January 1st and ends December 31st.

The Board of Directors must also include in the budget adequate sums for reserves
to cover unforeseen expenses, working capital, and the major repair or replacement of
common elements. Operating expenses and reserves together make up the common
expenses.

The common expenses, multiplied by your percentage interest, is the annual
assessment on your Unit. This assessment, under the Bylaws, is payable in twelve (12)
monthly installments. Each payment is due on the first day of the month, without notice.

In the event that insufficient funds are budgeted for any given fiscal year, the
Board of Directors may levy an additional assessment to make up the budget deficit.
Conversely, should there be a surplus at the end of the fiscal year, the Board of Directors
may, in its discretion, place the surplus in reserve accounts or refund the surplus to the
Unit Owners by reducing future assessments. Any additional assessment will be payable
by Unit Owners either in a lump sum or in installments, as the Board of Directors
determines.

Although normal common expenses are apportioned among all Unit Owners,
certain common expenses are payable in their entirety by individual Unit Owners. If the
Unit Owners Association must make an emergency repair on behalf of an absent Unit
Owner, for example, the charge for the repair must be paid by the Unit Owner. If any Unit
Owner has a limited common element appurtenant to his/her Unit, that Unit Owner may
be charged, on an individual basis, with the cost of maintenance and repair of the limited
common element by levy of a charge which may be imposed by the Board of Directors. If
any additions, alterations, or improvements to the common elements are requested by
certain Unit Owners and result in benefit to only those Unit Owners, the cost of the
addition, alteration, or improvement may be charged on an individual basis to the
benefited Unit Owners.

All of the amounts assessed against a Unit give rise to a lien on that Unit under the
Bylaws. If the assessments are not paid when due, the Unit Owners Association may effect
the lien by recording a Memorandum of Lien in the Land records. A Unit Owner cannot
dispose of his/her Unit free of the lien until the lien is satisfied by payment of the
assessments secured by the lien and the costs of collection. The Unit Owners Association
may obtain payment of past due assessments by foreclosure of the lien resulting in a forced
sale of the Unit or by suing the Unit Owner. If any assessments are past due for more than
two (2) months, the Board of Directors may accelerate the payments (i.e. declare
immediately due and payable the total amount assessed against the Unit Owner for that
fiscal year but not yet paid).

The Association must notify the lender when a Unit Owner's account is delinquent
60 days or more. Delinquent Unit Owners receive notification from the Association when
their account is 10 days delinquent, 30 days delinquent and 60 days delinquent. If your
billing address is different from your Unit's address, please notify the Association Office.


NOTE: ASSESSMENT PAYMENTS ARE DUE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE
MONTH. A LATE CHARGE WILL BE IMPOSED ON PAYMENTS RECEIVED
AFTER THE TENTH DAY OF THE MONTH.


Checks should be made payable to the Montebello Condominium Unit Owners
Association and include the Unit Owner's name, building and unit number. Checks
should be mailed with the coupons furnished by the managing agent to: The Montebello
Condominium c/o Zalco Realty, Inc., Dept. 0982, McLean, VA 22109-0982. Purchasers
of indoor garage spaces will pay an additional condominium fee for garage maintenance.

HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES AND FIXTURES

GARBAGE DISPOSALS

Specific use and care instructions for the garbage disposals are found in the
operating booklet provided by the manufacturer. In general, all organic materials (such
as vegetables and meats) can be put in the disposal. Do no put any solid objects (cans,
bottles, glass, etc.) in the disposal. Paper should not be put in the unit, as it will clog the
drain. DO NOT PUT ANY LIQUID OR CRYSTAL DRAIN CLEANING AGENT IN
THE DISPOSAL. Such chemicals destroy the rubber gaskets within the unit and cause
flooding of the kitchen.

APPLIANCES

Any repairs to appliances, such as the refrigerator, stove or air conditioning unit,
are the responsibility of the Unit Owner. For your convenience, local authorized service
firms for these appliances are listed below. The Association makes no recommendation

THE MANAGING AGENT

The Montebello Condominium Unit Owners Association has employed Zalco
Realty, Inc. as the Managing Agent to act on its behalf. Zalco Realty has broad experience
in real estate, construction, rental and condominium/cooperative management. Zalco
Realty is currently managing communities similar in concept to that of Montebello.

Zalco brings to the task of managing the Montebello Condominium Unit Owners
Association three attributes to supplement the management capabilities of the Board of
Directors. Zalco has broad expertise in handling the diverse and complex functions of the
Association. The condominium concept is an evolving legal and administrative entity in
American communities. Zalco is able to devote itself to running the Association on a full-
time basis. Zalco's diverse background and capabilities enable it to back-up the
Association staff for emergencies and technical problems. Further information on the
company can be obtained by calling the Zalco office at (301) 495-6600.

LIVING IN YOUR MONTEBELLO HOME

UNIT OWNER/OCCUPANT INFORMATION

The Association maintains a roster of the Unit Owners and Occupants at
Montebello. The roster contains the name, address, and business and home telephone
numbers of the Unit Owners. If a Unit is rented, the roster contains similar information
for the tenants. The Unit Owners or tenants are responsible for keeping this information
current. Please notify the Association Office of any changes.

UNIT ENTRANCE LOCK

The lock that has been provided on the Unit entrance doors has two locking
devices. One is referred to as a night latch and the other as a dead bolt. A key is not
required to lock the door by means of a night latch; however, it is necessary to turn the
knob to operate the deadbolt. The night latch does not provide good security protection;
the dead bolt must be locked in order to obtain the security protection that the lock is
made to provide.

1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5



KEY CONTROLS AND EMERGENCY ACCESS TO UNITS

The resident roster discussed above is to be used to notify you, if possible, when an
emergency exists in your Unit or assigned storage space. However, many emergencies do
not allow for such notification. Action must be taken immediately when a serious threat to
life, limb, or property exists.

Since there is no master key for the Units or storage bins, the Association has
adopted the following policies. The Association has retained copies of the keys for your
Unit and storage bin (if applicable), for use only in emergency situations. The Association
has taken reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized use of your keys. Keys have been
coded and placed in a locked key cabinet. The key matrix which relates a given coded key
to a given address, is kept in a separate locked container. THE CODE DOES NOT
INDICATE THE ADDRESS SERVED BY THAT KEY. EMERGENCY KEYS WILL
NOT BE HANDED OUT EXCEPT TO AUTHORIZED AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES
OF THE ASSOCIATION.

In all non-emergency cases, the Association will give prior notice, by mail or
telephone, of the need to enter the Unit and will make arrangements with the owner or
occupant to gain access.

The Association reserves the right to enhance security by periodically replacing all
common element locks and issuing new keys for the community.


NOTE: IF YOU CHANGE ANY LOCK ON YOUR UNIT OR ASSIGNED
STORAGE BIN, YOU MUST GIVE THE ASSOCIATION A
WORKING COPY OF THE NEW KEY TO THE NEW LOCK. THE NEW
LOCK MUST CONFORM IN APPEARANCE TO THE OLD LOCK.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES

If emergency access is needed and the Unit Owner or tenant has changed the locks
without providing the Association with a working copy of the keys, the owner or tenant
bears all costs related to emergency access to the Unit, and damages caused to that Unit, or
any other Unit or the common elements by the emergency. Any additional liabilities
stemming from the emergency situation will also be born by the Unit Owner or tenant who
does not provide the Association with working keys to the Unit.

LOCKOUT SERVICE

For your convenience, you may leave a convenience key at the Association Office.
In addition to the emergency access key which is retained by the Association. This
convenience key may be used daily from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Mon Fri. and 9:00 a.m.
to 10:30 p.m. Saturday and Sundays to gain access to your Unit if you have locked yourself
out. Outside of these hours, if you are locked out, contact the Safety and Access Control
Monitor at the maingate for assistance in gaining access to your Unit. A reasonable fee as
determined by the Board of Directors will be charged for this service. Fees will be paid by
check made out to Montebello Condominium Unit Owners Association.

ADMITTANCE SERVICE

The Association does not assume responsibility for admitting deliverymen,
tradesmen and other visitors of the owners or tenants. Arrangements can be made at the
Association Office to admit persons to your Unit. In order for the Association staff to give
anyone a key or allow anyone to enter your Unit, a signed admittance slip from the
resident is required. A key must be left for this purpose. The emergency key will not be
used for this purpose. Telephone admits will not be accepted.

PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW IN CASE OF A FIRE
IN THE BUILDING

The Fairfax County Fire Marshal urges each family to pre-plan actions so that
there will be a minimum of confusion in the event of a fire. The following procedures and
information are submitted to assist you in the pre-planning. Please discuss them with the
members of your household.

Within each living Unit an ionization-type smoke detector has been provided which
will provide an audible signal within the living Unit only. It is not connected into the fire
alarm system. Upon activation of this smoke detector, or upon seeing a fire, the resident
should follow the instructions described below:

(1) Persons endangered should evacuate the immediate area at once; close doors
adjacent to the fire.

(2) Notify the Fire Department immediately; the emergency telephone number is
911.

(3) If time and circumstances permit, notify the Maingate operator of the location
of the fire.

(4) Activate the fire alarm system at the nearest manual pull station so the other
occupants can be warned of the fire danger. Become familiar with the location of
the nearest pull station. Activation of the fire alarm system will register at the fire
alarm annunciator panel at the Maingate. The stations activating the systems
should not be pulled unless there is an actual fire. Once the system is sounding, it
serves no useful purpose to pull additional stations. In fact, it makes it more
difficult for the firemen to locate the fire if more than one station has been pulled.

(5) Additional methods of activating the system are accomplished by automatic
devices such as heat and/or smoke detectors located in public areas and automatic
flow switches located in the sprinkler lines for the garage and trash rooms.

(6) Upon activation of the fire alarm system the following will be initiated: a) The
two sets of fire doors on each floor will automatically close. b) All elevators will
immediately return to the first floor and one elevator will be designated for use by
the Fire Department personnel. c) Audible, visual and vocal alerts will be
activated in the three stairwells on all levels of the building. d) Audible, visual and
vocal alerts will be activated in the hallways on the floor where the alarm was
sounded, as well as the floor above and the floor below. In addition, audible and
vocal alerts will be transmitted to all units on these floors. If the danger is real and
should spread beyond the initial floors placed into alarm, the system will
automatically activate the alarms on the next sequence of floors in jeopardy.

-24-
1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5

(7) A two-way voice communication system has been provided at the elevators,
elevator lobbies and exit-way stairs for direct communication with the central fire
control station located in the building lobby area for use by Fire Department
personnel.

(8) To be completely safe, when the fire alarm sounds, evacuate the building in
accordance with the instructions issued over the speakers. When you evacuate, use
the nearest stairway to an exit; DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE
ELEVATORS. They will not be in service.

(9) As you evacuate the building, do not stop in the lobby as you will interfere with
the emergency personnel. Stand well clear of the building.

(10) Once outside the building, clear the immediate area of the building to allow
access for emergency personnel.

(11) If you are physically handicapped or ill, please notify the Association Office
today and give your name and Unit number, so we can send help during an actual
fire. Ensure that the General Manager has the name, address and telephone
number of the person or persons to notify in an emergency.

(12) The most important things to remember:

A. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
B. DO NOT PANIC
C. LEAVE THE BUILDING IN AN ORDERLY MANNER

DOOR ANSWERING SERVICE PROCEDURE

The following instructions will enable you to correctly use your door answering service:

(1) As soon as you have your telephone installed, call the Association Office
and give your telephone number to the office personnel.
(2) When someone calls your number from the front door in order to gain
admittance, be sure to tell them not to hang up the phone until they see
the light illuminated which is activated when you press #5 on your
phone.
(3) When pressing 5, you must hold the button down until you hear the
connection disconnect, approximately 3 seconds.
(4) If you have a problem with the door answering part of your telephone
service, do not call telephone repair, call the Association Office.

Note: Lobby Phone System programming will only be conducted after the move-in fee has
been paid.

PRIVILEGE CARDS

Activities privilege cards are required for access to and use of common facilities at
Montebello. This includes the Community Center. This card can be obtained at the
Association Office for all residents 11 years or older. No cards will be issued to non-
residents. Privilege cards are not transferable. They must be available at all times when
conducting any business at the Association Office and for utilizing the Montebello
common facilities. A reasonable charge as determined by the Board of Directors will be
made for replacement of lost, damaged or stolen cards. When an owner leases his/her
Unit, he/she relinquishes his/her rights to utilization of the recreational facilities. In no
event may both owner and tenant enjoy such privileges.

Any guest using the Community Center must have a guest pass authorized by a
resident and signed and dated by an Association Office employee.

Montebello gate devices will be in the form of a serialized plastic card. This card
must be waved at the gate device in order to operate the lift. The cards are obtained from
the Association Office. Replacement or additional cards may be obtained from the
Association Office for a reasonable fee as determined by the Board of Directors. Request
for replacement or additional cards will be processed no later than the next business day
after receipt. A decal will be issued for all vehicles registered. This decal should be placed
on the front bumper left side (Drivers side front bumper) or on the dash in a clearly visible
manner.

Only one decal will be issued per vehicle per parking space authorized, i.e., one
outside space and the number of interior spaces owned/rented. Two gate control cards
will be issued per unit. Cards will be re-issued periodically to insure security. Note that
the Bylaws provide that "No Unit Owner shall park in the common element parking
spaces more than one vehicle ...(excluding limited common element parking spaces),
without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors." A reasonable fee as
determined by the Board of Directors will be made for replacement of lost or stolen gate
control cards.

SPECIAL CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

KITCHEN CABINETS

A. The cabinet fronts are formica and should be cleaned with mild soap and warm
water only.
DO NOT USE ANY CLEANSERS OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS.

FORMICA TOPS AND STAINLESS STEEL SINKS

To clean formica tops and stainless steel sinks, use mild soap and warm water only.
First wash the surface thoroughly, using a sponge or soft cloth, then rinse with clear warm
water and dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT PLACE HOT PANS ON FORMICA TOPS.

NEO-MARBLE

A. The NEO-Marble installed at Montebello is beautiful and durable, but should be
treated with care.

B. The NEO-Marble is highly resistant to stains from such bathroom products as
iodine, medicines and nail polish. However, care should be taken to remove all items from
the finish as soon as they are spilled.

C. Cleaning should be done with a damp cloth and mild cleanser. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS.


KITCHEN AND BATHROOM FLOORING

A. The floor in your kitchen is Armstrong No-Wax vinyl. The floor covering is
designed to resist scuffs and scratches from normal daily activity. When your
floor starts looking slightly dirty: 1. Sweep or vacuum thoroughly. 2. Use a
sponge mop and warm water, pressing hard enough to loosen the surface dirt.
3. If dirt build-up cannot be removed by damp mopping, use a good floor
cleaner such as Armstrong Once -n- Done No-rinse floor cleaner or Armstrong
Spruce-Up following the label instructions. 4. Although the floor does not
require waxing, to maintain high gloss levels, floor polish should be applied.
NOTE: Solvent based waxes and polishes, including paste wax should not be
used on vinyl floors. After repeated applications of a floor polish, it may be
necessary to strip the old layers of the polish from your floor to restore its
pattern and color clarity.

1 10 0/ /0 04 4/ /0 05 5


B. Your Congoleum bathroom floor is easy to maintain without waxing but we
suggest the following maintenance program: 1. Remove dust and grit particles daily with
light dusting or vacuuming. Dirt and grit, when walked on, is extremely abrasive and can
cause the floor to lose its shine. 2. A mild cleaning solution such as Congoleum Floor
Cleaner or Congoleum Bright 'N Easy No-Rinse Floor Cleaner is recommended for best
results. Follow label instructions for mixing and cleaning. 3. Never use undiluted
chlorine bleach on your floor or allow diluted solutions to remain for long periods on the
floor. 4. Never use single-step cleaner/polish combinations on Congoleum floor coverings.

PLUMBING TRIM AND ACCESSORIES

The plumbing trim and accessories in your bathroom were designed for beauty and
durability. The only care required for these fixtures is an occasional light cleaning with a
solution of mild soap and warm water applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Then it should
be rinsed well with warm water and dried thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not
use gritty or abrasive cleaners or strong detergents, as they may damage the finish of the
fixtures.

FIBERGLASS TUBS AND SHOWERS

A. TO CLEAN -- Your tub/shower stall can be maintained by REGULAR
CLEANING. Even in hard water areas, the designer surface will not show water spots as
readily as shiny fixtures. However, soap scum and mineral deposits can build up rapidly
on any bathing fixture. These deposits make cleaning more difficult, thus a regular
cleaning procedure is recommended.
B. REGULAR CLEANING - For best results, Owens-Corning recommends
using ZUD with a vegetable brush or 'Soft Scrub'. Both are available in area
supermarkets.
C. SOAP SCUM AND MINERAL DEPOSIT CLEANING - For tough cleaning
problems, Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner may be used -- just follow manufacturer's directions.
D. UNUSUAL STAINS -- For stains contact the local Owens-Corning
representative.
E. CAUTION -- Do not use metal scouring pads, razor blades or other sharp
tools for removing foreign material. Rubber gloves should be used when cleaning with
caustic materials.

WINDOW, TERRACE AND TERRACE DOOR CLEANING

Montebello does not provide for cleaning Unit windows, terraces or terrace doors. This
work can be performed by the occupant or by an outside service contractor.

OPERATION OF THE UNIT HEATING VETILATING & AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS HVAC UNIT.

(1) The heating and cooling in the Montebello Condominium Unit is provided by
individual heat pumps and the components of which are located in the HVAC room in
your Unit and on the roof.

(2) Heating and cooling is controlled by setting the thermostat in your Unit.

OPERATION OF UNIT HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (HVAC)

Your heating/cooling unit provides certain basic flexibility in its operation.
Understanding the components will assist you in operating it to your greatest comfort.

Each thermostat has two switches located on top of it. One switch can be set on
"cool", "off", "heat" or "emergency" as desired. The other is the fan control that may be
set for "on" or "automatic". In the "on" position the fan runs continuously. The
thermostat controls only the heating and cooling in this position. In the "automatic"
position the fan runs as necessary to maintain the temperature setting on the thermostat.
The thermostat also has two lights "aux heat" and "emer heat". The aux heat light, when
lit, indicates you are using electric heating in addition to your heat pump. You should
expect this condition if the outside temperature is below 35. This condition is when your
Unit is most expensive to operate and in the interest of energy savings should be
minimized.

The emergency switch (top right side) allows you to switch off normal heat pump
operation (HEAT) and bring on the supplementary electric heat you need in case of a heat
pump malfunction. When the switch is in position, the indicator emergency light glows
and you are heating ONLY WITH ELECTRIC HEAT.

DO NOT USE EMERGENCY HEAT UNLESS THE HEAT PUMP CANNOT BE
OPERATED. FULL ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF THE HEAT PUMP CANNOT BE
REALIZED DURING EMERGENCY HEAT OPERATION.

IF POWER FAILURE OCCURS WHILE HEAT PUMP IS IN HEATING MODE AND
FAILURE LASTS FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS, PLACE SYSTEM SWITCH IN
EMERGENCY HEAT POSITION FOR 24 HOURS. AT THE END OF 24 HOURS, SET
THERMOSTAT FOR NORMAL HEAT PUMP OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR HEAT PUMP.

INFORMATION ON AIR HANDLERS

Your HVAC unit is composed of two separate pieces of equipment. One we will
call your air handler which is located in your Unit. This air handler houses the blower
(fan), and electric heating and fuses, cooling coil and filters, and humidifier, if you have
this extra.

The other one-half of your heat pump is the compressor. It is located on the roof.
Heating or cooling is pumped from the compressor to your air handler for distribution in
your home. The portion of your system on the roof will not be accessible to residents. If
trouble should occur, it will most likely be on the roof portion so it is most important that
your HVAC unit have regular service as recommended by the "Carrier Co.", the
equipment manufacturer.

To give you the best and most reasonable service we have contracted to provide you
with a service contract for preventive maintenance of your HVAC unit the year round, the
cost of which would be included in your monthly assessment.

This preventive maintenance program will include two visits yearly to your unit as
explained below. Additional service and parts will be available at your cost.

It is important that you NEVER operate your heat pump without air filters and to
inspect and replace them at least quarterly. The service contract will replace your filter
twice yearly. You will be provided two additional filters at 90 day intervals to be replaced
by the Unit occupant. This is a very simple operation. At the bottom front of your air
handler are two thumb screws. Upon removing these screws, a 2" cover will come off
exposing the filter. Pull it out, sliding it into a large paper bag to avoid spilling dirt.
Install new filter and replace cover.

PETS

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Unit Owners are permitted to keep pets subject to the provisions of the Declaration,
Bylaws, Rules and Regulations of the Condominium and the animal control codes of
Fairfax County. Article V, Section 8(a) (8) of the Bylaws permits only one "small, orderly
domestic pet" in any Unit.

This permits only one dog, cat or caged bird in a Unit, unless the Board of
Directors has specifically approved more pets in a particular Unit.

ALL PETS MUST BE REGISTERED WITH THE ASSOCIATION OFFICE AND DOGS
& CATS MUST RECEIVE A MONTEBELLO PET TAG.

Registration is required in order to notify a pet owner if the animal is injured or
found, and to identify possible problem animals.

Stray animals should be reported to the Association Office for possible
identification, prior to contacting the County Animal Control Unit.

Pets must be transported in the service elevator and passenger elevator only if the
service elevator is unavailable for a continuing period. In light of possible health problems
of some residents, i.e., allergy or phobia, pets other than Seeing Eye Dogs should not be
transported in any passenger elevator in which a passenger or a person awaiting use of the
elevator objects to the presence of the pet in the elevator.

Pets are not permitted in the community center, the snack bar and lounge, the
terrace, the swimming pools, the tennis courts or such other areas as are designated as no
pet areas.

No person should make food available for pets other than their own, unless
permission has been obtained from the animal's owner.

In case of an accident involving an animal, the person involved should seek out all
possible assistance and notify the animal's owner as soon as possible. Each pet owner is
responsible for the appropriate and sanitary disposal of their dead pet.

NOTE: NO ANIMAL MAY BE LEASHED TO ANY STATIONARY OBJECT ON THE
COMMON ELEMENTS. OWNERS ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE ACTIONS OF THEIR PETS, AND FOR ANY DAMAGE OR PHYSICAL
INJURY THEY MAY CAUSE.

PIT BULLS

Absolutely no pit bulls shall be kept in any Unit or upon the common elements of
Montebello or brought on to the property at any time. For this purpose, the term pit bull
is defined as any dog which is entirely or part American Pit Bull Terrier or American
Staffordshire Terrier or any combination thereof, including any related breeds.

DOG/CATS

All dogs must have a current Fairfax County registration and rabies tag, which will
be attached to a collar or harness worn by the dog. All dogs and cats will be issued a
Montebello pet tag as the time of registration. Pets must be leashed or under the control
of the owner at all times while on the common elements and the leash shall be of a length
that insures that the pet is under full control at all times. At no time shall any pet be
leashed to any stationary object on the common elements.

Owners are responsible for removing their pet's waste from the common elements,
and shall make every effort to avoid traffic patterns where pets are permitted to relieve
themselves.

Every female dog, while in estrus, shall be kept confined in her owner's Unit in such
a manner that she will not be in contact with another dog, except for intentional non-
commercial breeding purposes. The owner will not permit the dog to become a nuisance
by attracting other animals.

NOTE: THE BYLAWS PROHIBIT COMMERCIAL BREEDING
ACTIVITIES IN UNITS OR ON THE COMMON ELEMENTS.

PUBLIC NUISANCES

A complaint will be filed and appropriate action taken against pet owners if their
animal damages, soils, or defecates on the common elements and the owner takes no action
to remove the offending material.

Excessive noise created by the animal will also cause action to be taken. Any
attacks by an animal will be grounds for action.

DEALING WITH A PROBLEM PET

If a neighbor's pet becomes a problem, you should do the following:

--Document the problem as completely as possible. This includes identification of
the animal and the owner and a complete description of the problem.

--Try to work out a solution with the animal's owner.

--If personal attempts at a solution fail, contact the Association Office to file a
written complaint. This complaint should contain all of the facts listed in the first
step, where possible, as well as a brief description of informal steps taken to solve
the problem.

The Association will treat your complaint as confidential, unless you wish
differently. The first step after a complaint is filed will be to reach an informal agreement.

If that is not possible, the General Manager of the Association will refer the matter
to the Covenants Committee for appropriate action, under Special Resolutions process.

Penalties for violation of applicable local ordinances may be enforced by the
locality without regard to any remedies pursued by the Association.

MOVES AND BULKY DELIVERIES OR REMOVALS

Personal property, other than hand baggage and packages, must be transported in
the service elevator through the rear service entrance at the B3 level of each building.
Permission for the use of the service elevator for moving large items must be obtained
from the Association Office in advance. If the resident will not be home, prior
arrangements should be made at the Association Office by means of an admit slip for
access to the Unit.

No move in/outs to or from any Unit may be made until a written permit for that
purpose is obtained from the Association Office Management, who are authorized to
prohibit any moves for which such advance arrangements have not been made.

There is a move-in/move-out fee imposed on all Units. The amount of this fee is set
by the Board of Directors. See attached fee schedule. All fees are payable to the
Montebello Condominium Unit Owners Association and must be received prior to move-in
and issuance of gatecards, parking decals, identification cards, lobby phone programming
or entry of information into the resident database system.

Move In/Outs are restricted to the hours between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday. A $200 refundable cash deposit is due on the day of the move in/out. If
all rules are followed and property left undamaged, deposit will be returned. There will be
no moves scheduled for the weekends or on holidays.

STORAGE CUBICLES

Each Unit has a storage cubicle assigned to it. Please contact the Association Office
for assistance in locating your storage bin.

Unit Owners using common element storage areas are required to keep their bins
locked. The Association assumes no responsibility for the safety of any item in storage.
Access to the storage room during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. is by use of the storage
area key issued at settlement.

Storage Room Keys may be purchased through the Association Office for a
reasonable fee as determined by the Board of Directors. Requests for new or additional
keys will be processed no later than the next business day after receipt of request.

BULLETIN BOARDS

Bulletin boards are located on the B-1, B-2, and B-3 levels opposite the elevators.
One board is designated for official Association information, the other boards will be used
for general community information, personals, real-estate sales and miscellaneous
posting. An additional bulletin board for official Association business is located adjacent
to the mailboxes in the lobby.

FEE

The Fee Schedule for services is set forth on page 37. All Unit Owners receiving
services under this program will be billed for such services on the following day.
Payments are due upon receipt. A delinquent Unit Owner shall be ineligible to participate
in the In-Unit Service Program for three (3) months from the date of that billing.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO ASSOCIATION GENERAL MANAGER

In order to effectively administer the In-Unit Service Program, the Board has
delegated the authority to conduct the In-Unit Service Program to the Association
General Manager. All requests for services under the In-Unit Service Program must go
through the Association Office. A written record of all requests under the program shall
be maintained by the Association Office, and the Association General Manager shall
submit to the Board as part of the regular management report a summary of activities
under the program.

USE OF ASSOCIATION EMPLOYEES

Association employees may only enter a Unit to perform a service under this
program upon the instruction and direction of the Association General Manager and with
a written work order in their possession. Therefore, no Unit Owner may make any direct
request of employees to perform services, and all employees are directed to decline such
requests. Any employee found to be in violation of this requirement is subject to
immediate review and possible dismissal.

WORK PRIORITIES

Except in an emergency where life, limb, or property are threatened, the routine
work and services of the Association (which are for the benefit of all Unit Owners) shall
take priority over an individual Unit Owner's request for service under the In-Unit
Service Program. The Association General Manager shall schedule work under the In-
Unit Service Program, in his/her best judgement, to meet the needs of both the Association
and Unit Owners participating in the In-Unit Service Program.

CHANGES IN THE IN-UNIT SERVICE PROGRAM

The Board reserves the right to change the Fee Schedule and to add to, delete, or
otherwise change any of the services or procedures relative to the In-Unit Service
Program. Such change shall be communicated to the Unit Owners affected as the Board
shall at the time determine.
