the appropriate Units, provided that the granting of such additional utility easements or the relocation
of existing utilities will not prevent or unreasonably interfere with the normal conduct of business

mechanic' s lien against any of the Units. Any utility company and its employees and agents shall
have the right of access to each Unit or the Common Elements in furtherance of such easement,

annexed hereto and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article
17, shall to the extent applicable and unless otherwise expressly herein or therein provided to the
contrary, be perpetual and be construed to be covenants running with the Land and with every part
thereof and interest therein, and all of the provisions hereof and thereof shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the owner of all or any part thereof, or interest therein, and his /her /its heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, but the same are not intended
to create, nor shall they be construed as creating, any rights in or for the benefit of the general public.
All present and future owners, tenants, subtenants, licensees, and other occupants of Units shall be
subject to and shall comply with the provisions of this Declaration, the Bylaws and the Rules and
Regulations, as they may be amended from time to time. The acceptance of a deed or conveyance
or the entering into of a lease or the entering into occupancy of any Unit shall constitute an
agreement that the provisions of this Declaration, the Bylaws the Rules and Regulations, as they may
be amended from time to time, are accepted and ratified by such owner, tenant or occupant, and all
of such provisions shall be deemed and taken to be covenants running with the Land and shall bind
any person having at any time any interest or estate in such Unit, as though such provisions were
recited and stipulated at length in each and every deed or conveyance or lease or use and occupancy
agreement thereof.

Declaration and the Bylaws to be insufficient to submit the Property to the provisions of, the
Condominium Act, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Declaration or the Bylaws, as
the case may be, for the purpose of submitting the Property to the provisions of the Condominium

Land. If any provision which is necessary to cause this Declaration and the Bylaws to be sufficient
to submit the Property to the provisions of the Condominium Ownership Act is missing from this
Declaration or the Bylaws, then such provision shall be deemed included as part of this Declaration

Declarant's right to grant utility easements is not affected by this covenant.
18.3 Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, any of the rights, interest and obligations of the
Association and Declarant set forth herein or reserved herein may be transferred or assigned to any
other person or entity; provided, however, that no such transfer or assignment shall relieve the

r
special assessment shall be sent to every owner subject thereto at least thirty (30) days in advance
of the assessment period.
20.5 Annual and special assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Units and may be
collected on a monthly basis. The Association Board of Directors may assess appropriate expenses
on a reasonable pro -rata basis to the Units directly benefitting thereby.
20.6 Written notice of any meeting called for the purpose of taking any action authorized under
paragraphs 20.3 or 20.4 of this Article shall be sent to all members not less than thirty (30) days nor
more than sixty (60) days in advance of the meeting. At the first such meeting called, the presence
of members or of proxies entitled to cast 60 percent (60 of all the votes of each class of
membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may
be called subject to the same notice requirement, and the required quorum at the subsequent meeting
shall be one -half /Z) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting
shall be held more than Sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.
20.7 The annual assessment provided for herein shall commence as to all Units on 30 days after
the filing of this Declaration. The first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number
of months remaining in the year. The Association year shall commence on January 1 and end on

against each Unit at least thirty (30) days in advance of each annual assessment period. Written
notice of the annual assessment shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto at least thirty (30) days
in advance of the assessment period. The due dates shall be established by the Association Board

been paid.
20.8 Any assessment not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear interest from the
due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18 per annum. An Assessment provided for in this
Declaration which is not paid when due shall be delinquent on said date. If any such Assessment is
not paid within thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such delinquency from the Association,
a late charge of Twenty -Five Dollars ($25.00) shall be levied. Further, if the delinquency is not
cured within thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of the same, the Association may bring an action
at law against the Owner(s) personally obligated to pay the Assessment and /or may foreclose its lien
against the property. The Association may bring a suit to recover a money judgment against the
Owner(s) without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same. No Owner may waive or
otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non -use of the Common Area
or abandonment of his/her /its Unit.
20.9 All sums assessed to any Unit pursuant to this Article, together with interest and late charges
thereon as provide herein, shall be secured by a lien on such Unit in favor of the Association upon
recording of the notice of assessment as herein provided. The lien for the assessments provided for
herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any First Mortgage. Sale or transfer of any Unit shall not
affect the assessment lien. The sale or transfer of any Unit pursuant to mortgage foreclosure or any
proceeding in lieu thereof, however, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments
which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Unit from
liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
20.10 To perfect a lien for sums assessed pursuant to this Article, the Association shall prepare a
written notice of assessment setting forth the amount of the assessment, the date due, the amount

remaining unpaid, the name of the record Owner of the Unit, and a description of the Unit. Such a
notice shall be signed by the Association and shall be recorded in the office of the Lincoln County
Clerk and Ex- Officio Register of Deeds of Lincoln County, Wyoming. No notice of assessment shall
be recorded until there is a delinquency in payment of the assessment. Such lien may be enforced
by sale of the Unit by the Association after failure of the Owner to pay such an assessment in
accordance with its terms, such sale to be conducted in the manner permitted by law in Wyoming
for the exercise of power of sale in mortgages or in any other manner permitted by law. In any such
foreclosure, the Owner shall be required to pay the costs and expenses of such proceeding, the costs
and expenses of filing the notice of assessment and all reasonable attorneys' fees. All such costs and
expenses shall be secured by the lien being foreclosed. The Owner shall also be required to pay to
the Association any assessments against the Unit which shall become due during the period of
foreclosure. The Association shall have the right and power to bid at the foreclosure sale or other
legal sale and to acquire, hold, convey, lease, rent, encumber, use and otherwise deal with the same
as the Owner thereof.
20.11 The Annual Assessments shall include reasonable amounts as determined by the Association
Board collected as reserves for the future periodic maintenance, repair or replacement of all or a
portion of the Common Elements and facilities or any other purpose as determined by the
Association Board. All amounts collected as reserves shall be deposited by the Association Board
in separate bank accounts to be held in trust for the purpose for which they are collected and are to
be segregated and not commingled with any other funds of the Association. Such reserves shall be
deemed a contribution to the capital account of the Association by the members.
ARTICLE 21. INSURANCE
21.1 Comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance shall be purchased by the
Association Board on behalf of the Association and shall be maintained in force at all times, the
premiums thereon to be paid by the Association as a Common Expense. The insurance shall be
carried with reputable companies authorized to do business in the State of Wyoming in such amounts
as the Association Board may determine. The policy or policies shall name as insureds all of the
Owners, the Association and its Board of Directors. The policy or policies shall insure against any
liability to the public or to the Owners, members of their families, agents, employees, invitees,
licensees and tenants, incident to the ownership of a Unit and /or the Common Elements, and

thereafter be maintained in force at all times, the premium thereon to be paid by the Association an
a Common Expense. The policy or policies shall insure against loss from perils therein covered to
all of the improvements in the Project, except such as may be separately insured. Such policy or
policies shall contain extended coverage, vandalism, and malicious mischief endorsements. The
improvements to be insured under this clause shall be continually insured to value, and the policy
or policies shall contain replacement cost insurance. It shall be the duty of Unit Owners to notify
the Association of all significant in -Unit improvements which may be construed to have become a
part ofthe structure. Periodic reappraisals shall be made by the Association Board to insure adequate
coverage. If reasonably available, the policy or policies shall contain a stipulated amount clause, or
determinable cash adjustment clause, or similar clause to permit a cash settlement covering specified
value in the event of destruction and a decision not to rebuild. The policy or policies shall name as

OF
MILES PROFESSIONAL CONDOMINIUM
PAGE 16 OF 26
insured all of the Owners and the Association. The policy or polices shall also cover personal
property owned in common and shall further contain a waiver of subrogation rights by the carrier
as to negligent Owners. It shall be the duty of the Association to annually review the policies in
order that such insurance shall always be in an amount equal to or in excess of 100 Percent (100
of the replacement cost of the insured improvements.
21.3 Unit Owners may carry other insurance for their benefit and at their expense, provide that all
such policies shall contain waiver of subrogation rights, and provided further that the liability of the
carriers issuing insurance obtained by the Association Board shall not be affected or diminished by
reason of any such additional insurance carried by any Unit Owner. Any diminution in insurance
proceeds from policies obtained by the Association Board resulting from the existence of insurance
carried by any Unit Owner shall be chargeable to the owner who acquired such other insurance, who
shall be liable to the Association to the extent of any such insurance diminution and/or loss of
proceeds. Such liability may be enforced as a Special assessment.
21.4 Title in any Unit is declared and expressly made subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
and acceptance by any grantee of a deed or Contract for Deed from the Declarant or from any Owner
shall constitute appointment of the attorney -in -fact herein provided. All Owners irrevocably
constitute and appoint the Association their true and lawful attorney in their names, place and stead
for the purpose to negotiate loss and adjustment on the policy or policies carried under paragraphs
21.1, 21.2, and 21.4 above, to receive, administer and disburse the proceeds of any casualty insurance
payments or "Condemnation Awards" as are paid to the Association, and to execute and deliver such
documents with respect to the interest of the Owner which are necessary and appropriate to exercise
the duties and powers granted under this Article.
21.5 The Association shall receive the proceeds of any casualty insurance payments received on
the policies obtained and maintained pursuant to this Article. The insurance proceeds shall be used
as soon as reasonably possible by the Association for rebuilding, repairing, or otherwise reinstating
the buildings in a good and substantial manner according to the original plan and elevation thereof
or such modified plans conforming to laws and ordinances then in effect as shall be first approved
as herein provided, unless the Association determines not to repair or rebuild the structure. If the
Association determines not to rebuild or repair the structure, the insurance proceeds shall first be
applied to placing the Unit or Units destroyed in an acceptable manner and the remainder shall be
made available to the Owner.
ARTICLE 22. MORTGAGEES
22.1 Unless all the mortgagees have given their prior written approval, the Association shall not:
22.1.1 Change any Unit's Percentage Interest in Common Expenses or in Common
Elements.
22.1.2 Modify the method of determining and collecting assessments or allocating
distributions of casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.

The Board of Directors will furnish copies of the budget on which the allocations and
assessments of common charges are based to all Unit Owners and mortgagees and
trust deed beneficiaries.
Collection of Assessments. The Board of Directors will assess common charges
against the Unit Owners from time to time, and at least annually, and will advise each
Unit Owner in writing of the amount of Common Charges payable by him /her /it. If
any common charge remains unpaid for more than thirty (30) days from the date due,
the Board of Directors will take prompt action to collect the same.
Section 5.3 Common Surplus. If in any taxable year, the net income of the Unit Owners from
assessments and all other sources except casualty insurance proceeds and other
nonrecurring items exceeds the sum of: (a) total Common Expenses for which
payment has been made or liability incurred within the taxable year; and (b)
reasonable reserves for Common Expenses in the next succeeding taxable year as
may be determined by the Board of Directors, the excess will be returned forthwith

Section 5.4 Liability for Assessments. All Unit Owners are obligated to pay the Common
Charges assessed by the Board of Directors at such times as the board may determine.

under mortgage or deed of trust instruments duly recorded. Any payment by a

will be entitled to a statement from the Board of Directors setting forth the amount
of unpaid common charges due the Association from any seller, and will be entitled
to rely on the statement. The purchaser, mortgagee, or beneficiary will not be liable,
nor will the subject unit be subject to a lien, for any unpaid common charges in
excess of the amount set forth in the statement. A mortgagee, trust deed beneficiary,

expenses will be the responsibility of and will be charged to the individual
Unit Owners.
(c) Each Unit Owner will be responsible for and reimburse the Association for
any expenditures incurred in repairing or replacing any Common Element
damaged through his/her /its fault.

PROJECT: Miles Building
Miles Beverage Inc., 24 E 6` Ave.
Miles CPA, 611 S. Washington
SUBJECT: Designating existing building as Commercial Condominiums
Separation of Occupancies
EXISTING OCCUPANCY DESIGNATIONS:
Unit #1 Miles Beverage Inc.: S -1, moderate hazard storage
Unit 2 Miles CPA: B, Business
REFERENCE: 2006 IBC, Table 508.3.3, Required Separation of Occupancies
PROPOSAL: Designate a part of Unit #1 as Unit #3
As a commercial condominium the building will be designated as mixed
occupancy as it now is since no lot lines will be running through the
building.
If Unit #3's occupancy remains S -1, no modifications are proposed since
there would be no occupancy change.
If Unit #3's occupancy changes to classes B, F -1, or M, again, no
modifications are proposed since classes B, F -1, M and S -1 are all
considered as equal hazard.
If Unit #3's occupancy changes to class A, R, F -2, S -2, or U, a 2 hour
rated fire barrier will need to be constructed between it and Units #1 and
#2.
o Separation between Unit #1 and Unit #3
Install 1 '/z hour fire rated doors in existing doorways
through block wall.
Ensure that wall above block is 2 hour fire rated, which
already extends to underside of roof sheathing. This will
likely require adding 2 layers of 5/8" Type X drywall to
each side.
OCCUPANCY DEFINITIONS:
o Separation between Unit #2 and Unit #3
Ensure that wall is 2 hour fire rated and extends to
underside of roof sheathing. This will likely require adding
2 layers of 5/8" Type X drywall to each side of existing
wall as well as to a new wall framed in the attic up to the
underside of the roof sheathing.
Ensurel that the fireplace vent and all other
mechahical /electrical penetrations are fire rated.
