DSCC-57520\2494968.2 23 September 17, 2021 <br />8.7 Restoration of Partition Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the <br />damage has rendered any Condominium uninhabitable and (i) within one (1) year of the date of the <br />occurrence of the damage, the Association has not elected to repair the damage under the provisions of <br />Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5 or, if so, has not commenced and diligently pursued the repair work; or (ii) the <br />Association has not commenced and diligently pursued the sale of the Development as authorized under <br />Section 8.6, the restriction against partition described in Section 2.9 shall be null and void and any Owner <br />may bring a partition action under the authority of Civil Code section 6656 or any successor statute thereto. <br />8.8 Rebuilding Contract. If there is a determination to restore, the Association or its authorized <br />representative shall obtain bids from at least two licensed and reputable contractors and shall accept the <br />repair and reconstruction work from whomever the Association determines to be in the best interests of the <br />Members. The Association shall have the authority to enter into a written contract with the contractor for <br />such repair and reconstruction, and the repair and reconstruction funds shall be disbursed to the contractor <br />according to the terms of the contract. The Association shall take all steps necessary to assure the <br />commencement and completion of authorized repair and reconstruction at the earliest possible date. Such <br />construction shall be commenced no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the event requiring <br />reconstruction and shall thereafter be diligently prosecuted to completion. Such construction shall return <br />the Development to substantially the same condition and appearance in which it existed prior to the damage <br />or destruction. <br />8.9 Condemnation. If there is a total sale or taking of the Development, meaning a sale or <br />taking (i) that renders more than fifty percent (50%) of the Condominiums uninhabitable (such determination <br />to be made by the Association in the case of a sale and by the Court in the case of a taking) or (ii) that <br />renders the Development as a whole uneconomical as determined by the vote or written consent of seventy- <br />five percent (75%) of those Owners and their respective first Mortgagees whose Condominiums will remain <br />habitable after the taking, the right of any Owner to partition through legal action as described in Section 2.9 <br />shall revive immediately. However, any determination that a sale or taking is total must be made before <br />the proceeds from any sale or award are distributed. The proceeds of any such total sale or taking of the <br />Development, together with the proceeds of any sale pursuant to any partition action, after payment of all <br />expenses relating to the sale, taking or partition action, shall be paid to all Owners and to their respective <br />Mortgagees as their interests appear in proportion to the ratio that the fair market value of each Owner’s <br />Condominium bears to the fair market value of all Owners’ Condominiums. <br />In the case of a partial sale or taking of the Development, meaning a sale or taking that is not a <br />total taking as described above, the proceeds from the sale or taking shall be paid or applied in the following <br />order of priority; and any judgment of condemnation shall include the following provisions as part of its <br />terms: <br />(i) to the payment of the expenses of the Association in effecting the sale or to any <br />prevailing party in any condemnation action to whom such expenses are awarded by the Court to be paid <br />from the amount awarded; then <br />(ii) to Owners and their respective Mortgagees as their interests may appear whose <br />Condominiums have been sold or taken in an amount up to the fair market value of such Condominiums <br />as determined by the Court in the condemnation proceeding or by an independent, qualified appraiser <br />selected by the Association, less such Owner’s share of expenses paid pursuant to the preceding <br />subsection (i) (which share shall be allocated on the basis of the fair market value of the Condominium). <br />After such payment, the recipient shall no longer be considered an Owner, and the Association or <br />individuals authorized by the Association acting as attorney-in-fact of all Owners shall amend the <br />Condominium Plan, the subdivision map (if necessary), and this Declaration to eliminate from the <br />Development the Condominium so sold or taken and to adjust the undivided ownership interests of the <br />remaining Owners in the Common Area based on the ratio that each remaining Owner’s undivided interest <br />bears to all of the remaining Owners’ undivided interest in the Common Area; then <br />(iii) to any remaining Owner and to his or her Mortgagees, as their interests may <br />appear, whose Condominium has been diminished in fair market value as a result of the sale or taking
