Third, all equipment located within the walls, floors or ceilings immediately contiguous to a Unit and exclusively serving such Unit shall be deemed to "exclusiyely service" such Unit (e.g., a fan coil unit, fuse box and smoke and fire system dedicated to but not located within a Unit). In furtherance of the foregoing, all of the following shall expressly not be deemed to "comprise" or be "contained" in or "exclusively service" a Unit. ..:. .., r Amended Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions For Cedar Springs Meadows Condominiums 12 of 39 0921.526 000893 (d) Equipment. All equipment that does not exclusively serve a single Unit (e.g., multiple fan cooling unit, hot water circulating pump, fire protection system, roofs, elevators, hallways, fire escape stairs, railing and fences, foundations and slabs, each of which serves more than one Unit); (i) All items not within a Unit which are part of the physical structure that creates and/or supports a Unit (e.g., studs, beams, fasteners, connectors, nails, screws, nuts, bolts, junction boxes, insulation, exterior siding, pipes, ducts, chutes, flues, conduits, sub-floors, ceilings and drywall, exterior doors and windows); and (ii) All items which are part of a utility distribution system (e.g., water lines, sewer pipes, ducts and vents, electrical lines, connectors and boxes, and gas lines). For clarification, the items in this category are part of a system that deliyers utilities to a Unit, but does not include the fixture or other items designed to operate when certain utilities are deliyered through such systems (e.g., an exhaust fan or light fixture). As an example of the foregoing repair and maintenance obligations, if (subsequent to any applicable warranty period) the exhaust fan referred to above breaks, the Unit Owner shall be responsible for its repair. If, however, the exhaust fan fails to operate because of a faulty wire located within the wall of the Unit, then the Unit Owner will not be responsible for the repair (because, in fact, it is not the exhaust fan that is faulty but rather the wire delivering electrical current to such exhaust fan that is faulty in accordance with Section 5. 1 (d)(iii) and because such faulty wire is not within the Private Residence Unit). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all items not deemed to "comprise" or be "contained" in a Unit under the foregoing provisions thatrequire repair as a result of prior alterations or other actions by a Unit Owner (or a predecessor Unit Owner) or such Unit Owner's Permittees or Permitted Users shall also be the responsibility of such Unit Owner to repair (e.g., if a Unit Owner is installing shelYing in his or her Unit and in so doing damages electrical wires within the wall of such Unit, if a Unit Owner remoyes or modifies a water line within the walls of his or her Unit and in so doing damages such water lines, or if a Unit Owner causes the plumbing to back up, then such Unit Owner shall be responsible for repairing the damaged electrical wires, repairing the altered water line (if it ever requires repair), and cleaning out the plumbing). 5.2 Specific Powers and Duties of the Condominium Association.
