RECITALS The Declarant heretofore executed and recorded that certain Declaration of Belle Vista Condominium, dated February 12, 2004, recorded in Book 16780, Pages 275 — 364, in the office of the Register of Deeds for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the "Declaration") for the purpose of submitting to the condominium form of ownership under the North Carolina Condominium Act certain real property described therein under the name "Belle Vista Condominium". The Declarant and the other parties who are signatories to this First Amendment own all of the Units within Belle Vista Condominium, and now desire to amend the Declaration in the manner hereinafter set forth. AMENDMENT The Declarant and the other parties to this First Amendment hereby amend the Declaration as follows: ].. By adding thereto a new Paragraph 1.10(A) to read as follows: 1.10(A) "Carport" shall have the following meaning: There may be located on the Property with the Condominium certain improvements consisting of a roof stricture which encloses vehicular parking spaces and attached storage sheds. Any such improvements are identified on the Plat as being a "Carport Structure". As used in this Declaration, the terrn "Carport" shall mean each individual portion of such Carport Structures that consists of the parkingspace for an individual vehicle and the storage shed that is appurtenant to such parking space. The portion of the roof of such structure located above such individual parking space shall also be a part of the particular Carport. Each Carport shall be identified and demarcated by a number that shall be displayed on the portion of the structure containing such Carport. 2. By adding the following sentence to Paragraph 1.28 thereof: That portion of the Property consisting of the individual Carports shall constitute Limited Common Elements that shall. be allocated specially to certain Units in the manner provided for in this Declaration. C:\WINNI'\Profiles\rmckenzie\Temporary Internet Piles\OLK2\GCVX011.DOC 3. By adding the following sentence to end of Paragraph 1.32 thereof: The term "Plat" shall also refer to the survey plat depicting additional phases of the Condominium that shall be recorded by the Declarant in connection with the exercise of its Special Declarant Right to add Additional Property to the Condominium pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3.3 hereof. 4. By adding the following paragraphs to Paragraph 2.9 thereof: In the event that the Declarant shall exercise its right under Paragraph 2.15 hereof to construct any Carports on the Property, each such Carport shall be initially allocated to Unit Number 04108 Thereafter, for so long as the Declarant shall remain the owner of such Unit Number 04108 any such Carport may be reallocated to another Unit either (a) by an amendment to this Declaration executed by the Declarant and the owner of the Unit to which such Carport is to be thereby reallocated, or (b) by being reallocated to another Unit in the deed of conveyance by which the Declarant shall convey such Unit to the owner thereof. After any Carport constructed on the Property by the Declarant pursuant to Paragraph 2.15 hereof shall have been so reallocated by the Declarant, said Carport may be reallocated in the manner provided for the same in § 47C-2-108(b) of the Act. In the event that any Carports shall have been constructed on any portion of the Additional Property at the time said portion of the Additional Property shall be added to the Condominium through the exercise by the Declarant of its Special Declarant Rights pursuant to Paragraph 3.3 hereof, then such Carports shall be allocated to the Unit or Units so specified in the Amendment to this Declaration which Declarant shall have executed for the purpose of exercise its Special Declarant Right so as to add such portions of the Additional Property to the Condominium. Thereafter, any such Carport may be reallocated to another Unit either (a) by an amendment to this Declaration executed by the Declarant and the owner of the Unit to which such Carport is to be thereby reallocated, or (b) by being reallocated to another Unit in the deed of conveyance by which the Declarant shall convey such Unit to the owner thereof. Thereafter, such Carport may be reallocated in the manner provided for the same in §47C-2-108(b) of the Act. Any deed of conveyance for a Unit which shall be executed by the Declarant, and which shall allocate a Carport as a Limited Common Element to such Unit, shall be deemed to be an amendment to the Declaration for purposes of in §47C-2-108(b) of the Act. 5. By adding thereto a new section 2.15 thereof to read as follows: 2.15 Construction of Carports. Notwithstanding any provision of the Act or this Declaration which shall provide to the contrary, the Declarant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to construct Carports on the Property. Any such Carport as the Declarant shall elect to construct on the Property shall be located within the portion of the Property C:\WINNT\Profiles\rrnckenzie\Temporary Internet Files \OLK2\GCVXo1LDOC 2 depicted on the Plat as being parking areas and landscaping within the parking areas. Accordingly, all portions of the parking areas on the Property and the landscaping within such parking areas constitute real estate which may be allocated subsequently as Limited Common Elements. The parking areas on the Property and the landscaping within such parking areas may be allocated subsequently as Limited Common Elements. in the event that the Declarant shall exercise such right, upon the completion of construction of such Carports, the Declarant shall file with the register of deeds of Mecklenburg County a new Plat of the Property depicting such Carports, which Plat shall replace and supersede the Plat identified on Exhibit C hereto, which the Declarant filed at the time of the recording of this Declaration, 6. By deleting the first three sentences of Paragraph 5.9 thereof, and by substituting, in lieu thereof, the following: The only vehicles that may be parked on the Property (including, without limitation, within the Carports) are passenger vehicles in operating condition with their then current license plates and, if applicable, operating stickers attached. Such vehicles may include pick-up trucks having a load bearing capacity of no more than one-half ton. Every such vehicle shall be parked only in a Carport or parking space marked as such. 7. By inserting the parenthetical phrase ("other than the Carports") after the words "particular parking spaces", as the same appear in the last sentence of Paragraph 5.9 of the Declaration. 8. By adding to Paragraph 7.2 thereof, a new paragraph (c) to read as follows: (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of the costs and expenses associated with the maintenance, repair, renovation, restoration and replacement of any Carport shall be specifically assessed against, and shall be paid by, the owner of the Unit to which such Carport was allocated at the time such costs and expenses were made or incurred, unless such costs are paid for with the proceeds of insurance maintained by the Association. The owner of any Unit to which any Carport has been allocated as a Limited Common Element shall be liable for a special monthly assessment which shall be Levied by the Board for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a reserve fund to be used for the repair and replacement of such Carport on a periodic basis. All of the costs and expenses associated with the maintenance, repair, renovation, restoration and replacement of any Carport and which are not paid out of the funds contained in such reserve fund, shall be added to and become a part of the assessment to which the owner of the Unit to which such Carport is allocated is subject, and, unless it is determined otherwise by the Board, shall be due and payable at the time the next installment of such assessment shall be due and payable." Except as modified and amended hereby, the Declaration shall otherwise remain in full force and effect pursuant to its terms.

The Common Expenses shall include, without limitation: the expenses, costs and charges incurred in connection with the administration, operation and management of the Condominium property; all amounts which shall be the obligation of the Association pursuant to the Community Declaration and the Easement Agreement; the cost of maintenance, repair, replacement and restoration of the Common Elements, or any part thereof; the cost of all insurance premiums on all policies of insurance required to be or which have been obtained by the Board pursuant to the ,provisions of the Declaration; such amounts as the Board may deem proper for the convenience, comfort and well being of the Unit Owners, and for the operation, management and maintenance of the Property, including, without Iimitation, an amount for working capital of the Condominium, for a general operating reserve, for a reserve fund for replacement or improvement to the Common Elements and those Limited Common Elements the Association is obligated to maintain, and to make up any deficit in the Common Expenses for any prior year; in proper cases, the cost of administration and of maintenance and repair of the Limited Common Elements; and any other expenses lawfully agreed upon. C117ocuments and Settingsldfowler\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Filcs1OLKIARevised Belle Vista Bylaws 4-25-061.00C 12 In establishing a reserve fund for replacements, the Board shall take into account the number and nature of replaceable assets, the expected life of each asset and the expected repair or replacement cost. The Board shall then set the required capital contribution in an amount sufficient to permit meeting by equal annual installments over the applicable period the projected capital needs of the Association with respect to both amount and timing. Within 30 days after adoption by the Board of any proposed budget for the Condominium, the Board shall provide a summary of the budget to all Unit Owners and shall give notice of a date for a meeting of the Unit Owners to consider ratification of the budget not less than 14 nor more than 30 days after mailing of the summary and notice.

Payment of Assessments. All Unit Owners shall be obligated to pay (a) Annual Assessments of Common Expenses assessed by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 6. 1; (b) special assessments to be established and collected as provided herein, and (c) specific assessments against any Unit which are established pursuant to the terms of these Bylaws. Annual Assessments shall be due and payable in monthly installments on the first day of every month. A late payment charge in an amount to be determined by the Board shall be assessed for any installment not paid by the tenth of the month. Any installment not paid during the month in which it is due shall be subject to the late payment charge and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 6,5, and shall constitute a lien on the Unit as provided in Section 6.6. No Unit Owner shall be liable for the payment of any part of the Common Expenses assessed against his Unit subsequent to a sale, transfer or other conveyance by him (made in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration and applicable restrictions of record) of such Unit, together with his interest in the Common Elements (and Limited Common Elements, if any). A purchaser of a Unit shall be jointly and severally liable with the seller for the payment of Assessments assessed against such Unit prior to the acquisition by the purchaser of such Unit only if the purchaser expressly assumes such obligation in writing; provided, however the lien assessed against such Unit shall remain in full force and effect. Any such purchaser shall be entitled to a statement from the Board setting forth the amount of the unpaid Assessments against the seller, and the Unit conveyed shall not be subject to a lien for any unpaid assessments in excess of the amount shown on the statement. Provided, however, that First Mortgagee or other purchaser of a Unit at a foreclosure sale of such Unit or First Mortgagee who takes a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall not be liable for, and such Unit shall not be subject to, a lien for the payment of Common Expenses assessed prior to the foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Such unpaid Common Expenses shall be deemed to be Common Expenses collectible from all of the Unit Owners, including such purchaser, his successors and assigns. 6.3. Special Assessments. The Association may levy Special Assessments for Common Expenses not covered by the Annual Assessment applicable to that year only for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Common Elements, including fixtures and C:1Documents and Settingsldfowler\Local SetlingslTemporary Internet Files\OLKF\Revised Belle Vista Bylaws 4-25-061.DOC 13 personal property related thereto, provided that any such Assessment shall have the assent of two thirds of the Voting Members at a meeting duly called for this purpose. Such Special Assessments shall be charged to the Units according to their Allocated Interests in the Common Elements. In addition, the Board may levy Special Assessments against one or more, but less than all, of the Units to cover repairs or maintenance for which such Unit Owner or Unit Owners are responsible and which they have failed to make, or for repairs or maintenance required of a Unit Owner or Unit Owners which impair the value of the Common Elements or the Unit or Units, or expenses which are incurred in the abatement of or as a result of a violation by a Unit Owner or Unit Owners of the provisions of the Declaration, the Bylaws or the Rules and Regulations, or for fines levied for said violations, or where the Board has purchased a Unit on behalf of one or more Unit Owners. The period of assessment and manner of payment of such assessment shall be determined by the Board. 6.4. Collection of Assessments. The Board shall determine Common Expenses against the Unit Owners from time to time, at least annually, and may, as the Board shall determine, take prompt action to collect any Assessments due from any Unit Owner which remain unpaid for more than 30 days from their due date. The Board shall notify Eligible Mortgage Holders pursuant to the provisions of the Declaration of any amount assessed pursuant to these Bylaws which remains unpaid for more than 60 days from its due date, and in any other case where the Unit Owner of such Unit is in default with respect to the performance of any obligation hereunder for a period in excess of 60 days. 6.5. Default in Payment of Assessment. In the event of default by any Unit Owner in paying any amounts assessed by the Board, such Unit Owner shall be obligated to pay a late payment charge as established by the Board from time to time, and interest at the rate of 18% on such amounts from their due date; together with all expenses, including attorneys' fees (as permitted by law), incurred by the Board in collecting such unpaid sums. If a Unit Owner shall be in default in payment of an installment of an Assessment, including but not limited to, the monthly installment based on the annual budget, the Board may accelerate the remaining installments upon ten days' written notice to such Unit Owner, whereupon the entire unpaid balance of such Assessment shall become due upon the date stated in such notice. The Board may appoint an Adjudicatory Panel composed of five (5) Unit Owners, which may include members of the Board. The Adjudieatory Panel shall have the authority to levy fines not to exceed One Hundred and Fifty ($150.00) per violation for a violation of the Declaration, these Bylaws, or any Rules and Regulations enacted by the Board. Prior to the imposition of any such fine, the Adjudicatory Panel shall send to the defaulting Unit Owner written notice of the proposed fine and notice of the date, time and location for a hearing before the Adjudicatory Panel at which time the defaulting Unit Owner and the panel may present evidence. The notice of hearing shall be delivered personally or sent by certified mail before the hearing date. The Adjudicatory Panel shall provide the defaulting Unit Owner written notice of its decision once it is reached. The fine shall be an assessment secured by a lien under Section 47C-3-116 of the Act. 6.6. Lien and Personal Obligation. Each Assessment provided for in this Article, together with late payment charges, interest and expenses, including attorneys' fees (as permitted C:1Documenis and Settings\dfowler\Local SettingslTemporary Internet Files\OLKF\Reviscd Belle Vista Bylaws 4.25-06I.DOC 14 by law), shall be a charge on and a continuing Iien upon the Unit against which the Assessment is made when a notice of such lien has been filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in the manner provided by Article 8, Chapter 44, of the North Carolina General Statutes, provided such notice of lien shall not be recorded until such sums assessed remain unpaid for a period of 30 days after the same shall become due. Said notice of lien shall also secure all Assessments against the Unit becoming due thereafter until the lien has been satisfied. Said lien may be foreclosed in the manner as a deed of trust .on real property. In addition, each Unit Owner shall be personally liable for any Assessment against his Unit becoming due and payable while he is the Unit Owner of such Unit. 6.7. Priority of Assessment Lien. The lien of the Assessments provided for in this Article shall be prior and superior to all other liens except (a) ad valorem taxes and (b) all sums unpaid on deeds of trust, mortgages or other encumbrances against the Unit prior to the docketing of the Assessment lien. The sale or transfer of any Unit shall not affect the Assessment lien against such Unit. Provided, however, the sale of a Unit pursuant to the foreclosure sale or execution sale instituted by a superior lien holder or conveyance to Mortgagees by deed in lieu of foreclosure shall extinguish the inferior Assessment lien against the subject Unit but no such sale or transfer shall relieve each Unit from liability for any Assessments thereafter becoming due or for any future Iien in connection therewith. The Association shall share in the excess, if any, realized by the sale of any Unit pursuant to a foreclosure or action instituted by a superior lien holder, to the extent of its lien. 6.8. Unit Owners Non -Use. No Unit Owner may exempt himself from liability for Assessments and his other obligations to the Association by waiver of the use or enjoyment of any portion of the Common Elements or by the abandonment or sale of his Unit. 6.9. Foreclosure of Liens for Unpaid Assessments. The Board, acting on behalf of the Association, or on behalf of any one or more individual Unit Owners, if so instructed, shall have the power to purchase such Unit at the foreclosure sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, vote the votes appurtenant to, convey or otherwise deal with the same, subject, however, to applicable restrictions of record. A suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments shall be maintainable without foreclosure or waiver of the Assessment lien. Where a First Mortgagee or the purchaser of a Unit obtains title to the Unit as a result of foreclosure of a mortgage, such purchaser, its successors and assigns, shall not be liable for the share of the Common Expenses or Assessments by the Board chargeable to such Unit which became due prior to the acquisition of title to such Unit by such purchaser. Such unpaid share of Common Expenses or Assessments shall be deemed to be a Common Expense collectible from all Unit Owners, including such purchaser, its successors and assigns. 6.10. Statement of Common Expense. The Board shall promptly provide to any Unit Owner so requesting in writing a written statement of all unpaid charges due from such Unit Owner, for which it may impose a reasonable charge at its discretion. 6.11. Abatement and Enjoinment of Violations by Unit Owners. The violation of any rule or regulation adopted by the Board, the breach of any Bylaw contained herein, or the breach of any provision of the Declaration, shall give the Board the right; in addition to any other rights set forth in these Bylaws: (a) to enter the Unit in which, or as to which, such violation or breach exists, and to make any repairs, and to summarily abate and remove, at the expense of the C:IDocuments and Settingsldfowler\Local SellingslTemporary Internet Ciles1OLKF1itevised Belle Vista Bylaws 4-25-061.DOC 15 defaulting Unit Owner, any structure, thing, or condition which may exist therein contrary to the intent and meaning of the provisions hereof, and the Board shall not thereby be deemed guilty in any manner of trespass, but no items of construction shall be altered or demolished pursuant to this authority before judicial proceedings are instituted; (b) to enjoin, abate, or remedy by appropriate legal proceedings, either at law or in equity, at the expense of the defaulting Unit Owner, the continuance of any such breach; (c) in any case of flagrant or repeated violation by a Unit Owner, to require such Unit Owner to give sufficient sureties for his future compliance with such Condominium documents; or (d) after notice and an opportunity to be heard, to levy reasonable assessments and fines in accordance with Sections 47C-3-107 and 47C-3-107.1 of the Act for such violations. The failure of the Board or Adjudicatory Panel to so act with respect to any such violation or breach shall not be deemed a waiver of the Board's or Adjudicatory Panel's right to act with respect to the same or any other breach. 6.12. Maintenance and Repair. (a) Each Unit Owner shall maintain, repair, and replace, at his sole cost and expense, all portions of his Unit which may become in need of maintenance, repair, or replacement, including the components of the heating and air conditioning system within and appurtenant to each Unit, if any, all bathroom and kitchen fixtures and appliances, light fixtures, interior, non-loadbearing walls, doors, floors, ceilings, carpeting, drapes and other items within the Unit, whether structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary (other than maintenance of and repairs to any Common Elements not specifically set forth herein contained therein and not necessitated by the negligence, misuse or neglect of the Unit Owner, his employees, guests, agents, servants, lessees, invitees or contractors).

The Unit Owner shall be in said instance required to pay such portion of the costs of such maintenance, repair and replacement as shall exceed the amount of the applicable insurance proceeds. If the Unit Owner does not make those repairs to be made by him within 30 days from written demand by the Board, the same may be repaired by the Board, and the cost thereof shall be assessed against the Unit owned by the subject Unit Owner. (b) The Association, through its Board, shall maintain, repair and replace all portions of the Common Elements and Limited Common Elements (except as provided in Section 6.12(a) above or in the Declaration) which shall require same, whether located inside or outside of the Units (unless necessitated by the negligence, misuse or neglect of a Unit Owner, his employees, guests, agents, servants, lessees, invitees or contractors, in which case such expense shall be charged to such Unit Owner, or unless herein provided to the contrary), and the cost thereof shall be charged to all the Unit Owners as a Common Expense.
