[continuation of 14.18(5)(b)] shall be approved in the manner elsewhere required for further improvement of the Common Elements.

(c) Adjustment of Shares in Common Elements: The shares in the Common Elements appurtenant to the Units that continue as part of the Condominium shall be adjusted to distribute the ownership of the Common Elements among the reduced number of Unit Owners. This shall be done by restating the shares of continuing Unit Owners in the Common Elements as percentages of the total of the numbers representing the shares of these Owners as they exist prior to the adjustment.

(d) Assessments: If the amount of the award for the taking is not sufficient to pay the market value of the condemned Unit to the Owner and to condition the remaining portion of the Unit for use as part of the Common Elements, the additional funds required for those purposes shall be raised by Assessments against all of the Unit Owners who will continue as Owners of Units after the changes in the Condominium affected by the taking. The Assessments shall be made in proportion to the shares of those Owners in the Common Elements after the changes effected by the taking.

(e) Arbitration: If the market value of a Unit prior to the taking cannot be determined by agreement between the Unit Owner and mortgagees of the Unit and the Association within thirty (30) days after notice by either party, the value shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the existing rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that the arbitrators shall be two (2) appraisers appointed by the American Arbitration Association who shall base their determination upon an average of their appraisals of the Unit; and a judgment of special performance upon the decision rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of arbitration proceedings shall be assessed against all Unit Owners in proportion to the shares of the Owners in the Common Elements as they exist prior to the changes effected by the taking.

(6) Taking of Common Elements: Awards for the taking of Common Elements shall be used to make the remaining portion of the Common Elements useable in the manner approved by the Board of Administration; provided that if the cost of the work shall exceed the balance of the funds from the awards for the taking, the work shall be approved in the manner elsewhere required for further improvement of the Common Elements. The balance of the awards for the taking of the Common Elements, if any, shall be distributed to the Unit Owners in the shares in which they own the Common Elements after adjustment of these shares on account of the condemnation. If there is a mortgage of a Unit, the distribution shall be paid jointly to the Owner and the mortgagees of the Unit.

(7) Amendment of Declaration: The changes in Units, in the Common Elements and in the ownership of the Common Elements that are affected by condemnation shall be evidenced by an amendment of this Declaration that need be approved by two-thirds (2/3) of all Unit Owners whose ownership of the Common Elements are affected by such condemnation.

Article XVSale or Transfer

15.01 In the event any Unit Owner wishes to sell or transfer his Unit, the Association shall have the option to purchase said Unit, upon the same conditions as are offered by the Unit Owner to a third person. Any attempt to sell said Unit without prior approval of the Association shall be deemed a breach of this Declaration, shall be wholly null and void, and shall confer no title or interest whatsoever upon any purchaser, tenant or lessee; provided, however, any deed may be validated by [continues on next page]
