DSCC-57520\2494968.2 24 September 17, 2021 <br />disproportionately to any diminution in value of all remaining Condominiums but, as of a date immediately <br />after any announcement of condemnation, in an amount up to the disproportionate portion of the total <br />diminution in value; then <br />(iv) to all remaining Owners and to their respective Mortgagees, as their interests may <br />appear, the balance of the sale proceeds or award in proportion to the ratio that the fair market value of <br />each remaining Owner’s Condominium bears to the fair market value of all remaining Owners’ <br />Condominiums as determined by the Court in the condemnation proceeding or by an independent, qualified <br />appraiser selected by the Association. <br />8.10 Dispute Resolutions. If there are any disputes regarding the rights and/or duties of the <br />Owners or the Association under this Article 8, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute <br />resolution procedures in Article 11. <br />ARTICLE 9 <br />Rights of Mortgagees <br />9.1 Lender Definitions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the following terms as used in <br />this Article 9 shall have the definitions contained in this Section 9.1. An “institutional” Mortgagee is a first <br />Mortgagee that is: (i) a federally or state chartered or licensed bank or savings and loan association; (ii) a <br />mortgage company or other entity chartered or licensed under Applicable Laws whose principal business <br />is lending money on the security of real property or investing in such loans; (iii) an insurance company; or <br />(iv) a federal or State agency or instrumentality. A “first Mortgage” or “first Mortgagee” is one having a <br />priority as to all other Mortgages encumbering the same Condominium or other portions of the <br />Development. <br />9.2 Encumbrance. Any Owner may encumber his or her Condominium with a Mortgage or <br />Mortgages. <br />9.3 Rights of Institutional Mortgagees. Any institutional Mortgagee who obtains title to a <br />Condominium pursuant to the remedies provided in the first Mortgage, including judicial foreclosure or <br />nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale (but excluding voluntary conveyance to the first Mortgagee), <br />shall take the Condominium free of any obligation to pay any assessments that were delinquent as of the <br />date the institutional Mortgagee acquired title to the Condominium, including any interest, penalties or late <br />charges in connection therewith. The institutional Mortgagee as Owner of the Condominium shall be <br />obligated to pay any assessments that were not delinquent as of the date the institutional Mortgagee took <br />title to the Condominium and all future assessments levied against the Condominium as long as the <br />institutional Mortgagee remains in title, including any special assessments levied by the Association to raise <br />operating or reserve funds needed because of uncollected delinquent assessments, as long as the special <br />assessment is allocated among all the Condominiums as provided in Section 6.8. <br />9.4 Subordination. Any assessment lien established under the provisions of this Declaration <br />is expressly made subject to and subordinate to the rights of any Mortgagee under a Mortgage that <br />encumbers all or any portion of the Development or any Condominium made in good faith and for value <br />and recorded before the recordation of a notice of delinquent assessment. No assessment lien shall in any <br />way defeat, invalidate or impair the obligation or priority of such Mortgage unless the Mortgagee expressly <br />subordinates in writing its interest to such lien. If any Condominium is encumbered by a Mortgage made <br />in good faith and for value, the foreclosure of any assessment lien cannot operate to affect or impair the <br />lien of any Mortgage recorded prior to the recordation of the notice of delinquent assessment. Upon the <br />foreclosure of any prior-recorded Mortgage, any lien for delinquent assessment shall be subordinate to the <br />Mortgage lien; and the purchaser at the foreclosure sale shall take title free of the assessment lien. By <br />taking title, the purchaser shall be obligated to pay only assessments or other charges that were not <br />delinquent at the time the purchaser acquired title or that were levied by the Association on or after the date <br />the purchaser acquired title to the Condominium. Any subsequently-levied assessments or other charges <br />may include previously-unpaid assessments, provided all Owners, including the purchaser and its <br />successors and assigns, are required to pay their proportionate share of such unpaid assessments.
