Section 11: Exempt Property. All properties dedicated to and accepted by a local
public authority and all properties owned by a charitable or nonprofit organization exempt from
taxation by the laws of the State of Wyoming shall be exempt from the Assessments created
herein.
Section 12: Reserve Fund. Upon the sale, transfer, or conveyance of a Unit, the
purchaser or transferee of the Unit shall deposit with the Association as a reserve fund an amount
equal to the quarterly assessment established by the Board of Directors for the year in which the
transfer occurs. If, at any time, an Owner is in default in the payment of any assessments due to
the Association, the Association shall have the right to use said reserve, or as much thereof as
may be necessary, to pay any delinquent amount owed to the Association and to reimburse the
Association for any expenses incurred by the Association in collecting delinquent assessments
from the Owner. In such event, the Owner shall, upon written demand of the Association,
promptly remit to the Association a sufficient amount of cash to restore the reserve to its original
amount. In the event the reserve account is not used to make delinquent payments, then it shall
be refunded to the Owner upon the sale of the Owner's Unit without interest. The Association
shall have the right to commingle the reserve account with other funds of the Association and
shall have no obligation to retain the reserve funds in a separate account or pay interest on the

of the Association against an Owner exceed the reserve account, the Owner shall remain liable
for the payment of the balance of such claims to the Association.
ARTICLE VIII
LIEN FOR NONPAYMENT OF COMMON EXPENSES
Section 1: Liens. Any Assessment, charge, or fee provided for in this Declaration or
any monthly or other installment thereof which is not fully paid within ten (10) days after the
date due shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board
of Directors may assess a late charge thereon. Any Owner who fails to pay any Assessment,
charge, or fee of the Association shall also be obligated to pay to the Association, on demand, all
costs and expenses incurred by the Association, including reasonable attorney's fees, in
attempting to collect the delinquent amount. The total amount due to the Association, including
unpaid Assessments, fees, charges, fines, interest, late payment penalties, costs, and attorney's
fees, shall constitute a lien on the defaulting Owner's Unit. The Association may bring an action,
at law or in equity, or both, against any Owner personally obligated to pay any amount due to the
Association or any monthly or other installment thereof and may also proceed to foreclose its lien
against such Owner's Unit. An action at law or in equity by the Association against a delinquent
Owner to recover a money judgment for unpaid amounts due to the Association or monthly or
other installments thereof may be commenced and pursued by the Association without
foreclosing or in any way waiving the Association's lien.
Section 2: Subordination of Lien to Security Interests. A lien under this section is
prior to all other liens and encumbrances on a Unit except:
(a) Liens and encumbrances recorded before the recordation of this
Declaration.
(b) A First Security Interest on the Unit recorded before the date on which the
Common Expense Assessment sought to be enforced became delinquent.
(c) Liens for real estate taxes and other governmental assessments or charges
against the Unit.
If a holder of a First Security Interest in a Unit forecloses that Security Interest,
the purchaser at the foreclosure sale is not liable for any unpaid Common Expense
Assessments against the Unit that became due before the sale, other than the assessments,
which are prior to the Security Interest under this section of the Declaration. Any unpaid
Common Expense Assessments not satisfied from the proceeds of sale become Common
Expenses collectible from all Unit Owners, including the purchaser. Sale or transfer of
any Unit shall not affect the lien for said assessment charges except that a sale or transfer
HANGARS AT THE REFUGE
DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM OWNERSHIP
AND
DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS
PAGE 11 OF 20
of any Unit pursuant to foreclosure of any First Security Interest, or any proceeding in
lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, or cancellation or forfeiture of any such
executory land sales contracts shall only extinguish the lien of assessment charges which
become due more than six (6) months immediately preceding institution of an action to
enforce either the Association's lien or a Security Interest and statutory liens recognized
under Wyoming law. No such sale, transfer, foreclosure, or other proceeding in lieu
thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall relieve any Unit from liability for any
assessment charges thereafter becoming due, nor from the lien thereof. This section does
not affect the priority of mechanics' or materialmen's liens.
Section 3: Record of Receipts and Expenditures. The Association shall keep detailed
and accurate records in chronological order of all of its receipts and expenditures, specifying and
itemizing the maintenance and repair of expenses of the Common Elements and any other
expenses incurred. Such records and the vouchers authorizing the payments shall be available on
request for examination by the Members and others with an interest such as prospective lenders.
Section 4: Notice to Security Interest. The Board of Directors shall establish Rules
where appropriate, to respond to the request of a holder of a First Security Interest on a Unit for
information of any unpaid assessments on the Units. The information shall be provided for a
reasonable fee.
Section 5: Certificate of Status of Assessments. The Board of Directors shall
establish Rules, where appropriate, to respond to the request of Owners for information
concerning assessments assessed and not paid on their Unit. The Rules shall require a response
within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the written request and may require the payment of a
reasonable fee for each such request. The certificate of assessment may be relied upon by any
purchaser or lender of Owner as true and accurate as of the date of issue.
Section 6: Homestead. The lien of the Association assessments shall be superior to
any homestead exemption as is now or may hereafter be provided by Wyoming or federal law.
The acceptance of a deed to land subject to this Declaration shall constitute a waiver of the
homestead exemption as against said lien.
Section 7: Common Expenses Attributable to Less than All Areas or All Units.
(a) If a Common Expense is caused by the misconduct of a Unit Owner or the
Unit Owner's tenants, guests or invitees, the Association may assess that expense
exclusively against that Unit Owner's Unit, and collect the same as any other assessment
from that owner.
(b) Fees, charges, taxes, impositions, late charges, fines, collection costs and
interest charged against a Unit Owner pursuant to the Declaration are enforceable as
Common Expense Assessments.
ARTICLE IX
INSURANCE
Section 1: Insurance Requirements Generally. Each Owner shall adequately insure
the Owner's Unit. To the extent reasonably available, the Association shall obtain and maintain

the Board of Directors shall cause notice of that fact to be hand delivered or sent, postage
prepaid, by United States mail to all Unit Owners at their respective last known addresses. All
