All insurance coverage obtained by the Board shall comply with the following requirements, unless the Board, in the exercise of its fiduciary responsibility, determines that a particular requirement should be waived: (a) The Association shall arrange for an annual review of the sufficiency of its insurance coverage by one or more qualified Persons, at least one of whom must be familiar with insurable replacement costs in the area.

(b) The policies may contain a reasonable deductible and the amount thereof shall not be subtracted from the face amount of the policy in determining whether the policy limits satisfy the requirements of Section 6.3(a). In the event of an insured loss, the deductible shall be treated as a Common Expense or a Village Expense in the same manner as the premiums for the applicable insurance coverage. However, if the Board reasonably determines, after notice and an opportunity to be heard in accordance with the By -Laws, that the loss is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of one or more Owners, their guests, invitees, or lessees, then the Board may assess the full amount of such deductible against such Owner(s) and their Units as an Individual Assessment.

Permit Update Form: I see on the NC Secreta?y of Stage's site that W-2wltn Spring Industry, LLC merged into Chinaway Corporate Development, LLC in 2017. At 'Chat point, Wealth Spring was no longer a valid entity and its assets becalm` represented by a new name, Cliinae�,ay. Any permits issued to Wealth Spring can submit the Permit Update Form. This is just en administrative exercise to formally change t:ie pet! -nit to the modified corpora€:e name. Any other corporations wish mergers would follow this same pattern. If there are several permits issued to Wealth Spring, then you can just submit one form and attch a list of affected permits. 2. Permit Transfer Application: If it wasn't just a matter of the name of a company changing or a merger that esse;itially changed the name of the company, then you have to normally transfer the permit to the appropriate entity. Though transfers tend to create a feeling of dread because they tend to get complicated this particular situation should not be that difficult. If there are the same people on boi:h sides of the transfer, then they can submit wetter with the application indicating that they villI take the transfer of the permit "as is': without., an inspection. It should also state that they understand that, as the incoming permittee, they will become responsiblc for anything that noods to be done to Loring the project into compliance if anytihinZ: were to come tip. If your goal is to get ,all the permits into the same name (or as few as possible), this is the best path forward. Eventually you will have to transfer the permits to the HOA. At that point we will have to do the full transfer process where we look at a!I the documents (deed restrictions, O&M, certifications, etc), do the field inspection, aemonstrate that at least 50 of the lots have been sold, document that the imperious area constructed is at or below the permitted amount, and demonstrate that all of the common areas have been needed to the HOA. So, you will want to Idea that in mind as you move forward. But, you don't need al! cf thy_. to transfer between tv,ro companies that are owned by the same "people" who are willing to accept liability under one of their different LLCs. ! opcfWy that nlakes sense; but if you have questions please let me know. Also, since there arc so many permits I do not have a place to iilie this email.

W d, all sugAtIous wiW sus an attaacftw ?o Good afternoon Kelly: After doing some research, at the time of the sale and purchase in July of 2013 as a result of Sea Trail Corporation bankruptcy, a few dif ierent entities were set up and the properties at Sea Trail were deeded to these newly created entities — all of which had the same owners. The golf course tracks were deeded to Chinaway Corporate Development, LLC. Additional property related to resort operations (Jones Byrd Clubhouse/Convention center tract, and some additional vacant tracts) were deeded to Wealth Spring Industry, LLC. Chinaway and Wealth Spring later merged with Chinaway being the surviving company. Additional vacant tracts and lots as well as the declarant rights were initially deeded incorrectly to Sunrise Corporate Development Limited ('Sunrise Limited'), and should have been deeded to Sunrise Corporate Development Holdings, LLC. This correction of ownership was made in December, 2013 to Sunrise Corporate Development Holdings ("Sunrise Holdings') via deed. The assignment of declarants rights also took place effective the same day with Sunrise Holdings named as the Declarant as described in the Sea Trail Master Declaration. During our discussions about the Sea Trail permits over the past few years with your department and East Coast Engineering, we talked about the corrections that needed to be made during this process, with the end desire being the consolidation of the numerous permits into just three permits: One for Chinaway, One for Sunrise Holdings, and one for the Sea Trail Plantation Master Association (as permits get transferred from declarant to HOA). We want to get things straightened out, with the end result being the reduction of the number of permits. Due to the incorrect initial conveyance to Sunrise Limited, the permits were in the name of Sunrise Limited. Sunrise limited owns nothing here and Sunrise Holdings is the owner and declarant. We were notified of an expired permit -The Village at Royal Poste Road permit SW8 960124 - and I have had some correspondence with Georgette. It is in the incorrect name of Sunrise Limited, and should be Sunrise Holdings. We need to figure out what the process of renewal will be and how to proceed with it, as well at the other permits. I have attached a listing of the permits that I believe are affected by this. So, we need some guidance on how to proceed with the Royal Poste Road renewal, as well as correcting the entity name for the remainder of the permits. As always, we appreciate your assistance.

Zhu <izhu2!seatraH.com> Subject: RE: [External] Sea Trail questions Dana, Here are the answers to your questions: 1. State S''Lormvvater permits are issued to a specific entity until it is formally transferred to another corporation or to an HOA. You will have to work out the specific language in your declarations with your lawyers. I am not sure what to do about that. There are two transfer laws that govern the specific transfer requirements. SL2011-256 is the rule that governs transferring to HOAs. SL2013-121 is the one we use! when the perm.ittee is MIA and the new owner wants the old permit. Each permit also has language about transfers. The specific language has changed over the years, but it is similar to 'this permit is not transferable except after notice to and approval by the Division." 2. There are a couple of ways to approach this depend'.ng on the circumstances: a. If the permitted land was deeded from one Sea Trail company to Gnother: In this case we would have to form-711y transfer the permit to the new entity. b. If tiie name of the company changcd: In this case, we would just need the Permit Information Update Form ; nd a list of permits it applies to, nt_wL.L/deLci,.nc.gov/aboul -,/divisionsit?nei-v-:-niii,-�ral-land- r:csources ener -mineral-land.-rulesr'storrnwater-!2,,-o :ram/post-construction. c. If there was just an error originally: If there was an error and some permits were issued to the wrong entity when Sea Trail took over, then we can do a correction. I think the best thing to do is to draft up a summary of what specifically what happened and a list of affected permits.

Do.ne� dick links or open attachments sales you verify: Send aV suspicious email as an attachment to Good afternoon Kelly: Thank you for reaching out and assisting with answering a few questions we have. One is a more general question, and I imagine you have dealt with HOA turnovers before. Our owner would like to understand that process as it relates to stormwater permits that would still be in the declarant name at the time of HOA turnover. With that said: 1. The owner of the remaining undeveloped land is also the declarant with regard to the Master Homeowners Association. That Master Declaration states that the declarant control ends in either one of three ways: By a date in 2024, or if declarant voluntarily relinquishes control, or if the declarant owns less than 20 units, platted or planned but unplatted. Our question is at the time of any of these occurrences, what happens to the stormwater permits? The declarant would be leaving the property and no longer the declarant, so do the stormwater permits then belong to the Master Association? As a result of the previous bankruptcy of Sea Trail Corporation, the new entity that purchased Sea Trail formed a couple of different companies at that time. There appears to have been some confusion over the correct entity on the stormwater permits. Sunrise Corporate Development LTD was initially incorrectly named as the declarant and stormwater permit holder, when it should have been Sunrise Corporate Development Holdings, LLC, which is the correct declarant entity. Both are companies that were only affiliated with the Sea Trail properties. This is something that will require correction and we would like to know how to go about doing that. Thank you for your assistance with these questions.
