3 DE LA SALLE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION RULES AND REGULATIONS Revised June, 2012 The Board of Directors has developed these Rules and Regulations in an effort to promote and maintain high standards of community living at De La Salle. By virtue of owning a condominium at DeLaSalle, Unit Owners are obligated to abide by these Rules and Regulations at all times. It is the responsibility of all Unit Owners to become familiar with these Rules and Regulations and to use their best efforts to ensure they are observed by family members, guests, visitors, tenants, outside contractors and any person over whom the Unit Owner exercises control or supervision. Enforcement of these rules will be handled by the Property Manager and the Board of Directors, and violations may result in the imposition of penalties, as determined by the Board of Directors. The following statement, taken from a Community Association Institute publication, sets forth an important concept underlying these Rules and Regulations. (The Community Association Institute, or CAI, is a national organization that serves community-living associations and is a source of valuable information.) "In a common-interest community, owners cannot do whatever they want. That's the nature of common-interest living. When you live in a common-interest community you agree to abide by rules and restrictions. You live close to your neighbors, you share common facilities, and you sacrifice certain freedoms voluntarily to protect property values and reduce nuisances. "Rules and restrictions can seem petty and invasive to residents. But they serve a purpose. They prevent nuisance problems and preserve aesthetic harmony. Reasonable restrictions, consistently enforced over time, preserve property values and maintain a high quality of life for residents." A second, and similar, underlying concept is included in Article 2.4 of the De La Salle Declaration, an important formation document dated May 5, 1982 which set forth how the Association was formed and how it would operate. This Article reads as follows: "No Unit Owner shall use, or suffer or permit the use of, any Unit in any way which will cause discomfort, inconvenience, or annoyance to any other Unit Owner or occupant of the property." With the above as a conceptual framework, the Board of Directors adopted these Rules and Regulations following approval of the Association at its Annual Meeting on June 26, Revisions to this document were proposed by the Board and approved by the Association at the Annual Meeting held on June 16,

4 The defined terms used herein are taken from the Declaration and the By-Laws, with one addition. The terms "Owners and Guests," and Owner and Guest" shall include Unit Owners, their family members, guests, visitors, tenants, outside contractors and any person over whom the Unit Owner should exercise control or supervision. 1. Activities. (See Rule 18 also). Bicycle riding is not permitted on any grassy areas of the property and is permitted on the asphalt roadway only for egress from and ingress to the Property and its buildings. Ball playing, and games of any type are permitted only in areas designated as "play areas" by the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The washing of vehicles is not permitted on the Property. Bicycles must be stored in the Units or in areas designated by the Board for that purpose. Climbing trees, roller skating, skate boarding, roller blading, golf practice and similar activities are prohibited on the property. The use of guns or weapons of any kind is strictly prohibited on the property. Proper attire is required at all times and, except in the pool area, shall be defined as including a top, such as a shirt or blouse, and shorts. Proper attire at the pool is defined as a conventional swimsuit (see Rule 26). No picnicking is allowed in the grassy areas of the Property and sunbathing is permitted at the pool only (see Rule 34). 2. Animals. Unit Owners may have one household pet. Renters and tenants may not have pets, except upon application in advance and with permission as determined by a majority vote of the Board. A guest of a Unit Owner may bring one pet onto the Property, but any overnight stay by such a pet is allowed only by application in advance and with permission of the Board. Pets must be under control at all times when brought onto Common Areas. Pets should be walked at the edges of the Property, and pet owners must clean up after them, disposing of all waste in the dumpster immediately. Larger dogs should be walked off the Property whenever possible. While handling pets, their owners must be respectful of DeLaSalle property (including lawns and shrubs) and other residents. When outside, no pet may be left unattended. Unit Owners are responsible for assuring that a pet does not cause or create a nuisance, disturbance or annoying noise. If such a situation persists, the Unit Owner will be subject to warnings and fines, as determined by the Board. Removal of the pet will be a last resort, but may be required for repeated offenses, at the sole discretion of the Board. Domesticated varieties of dogs, cats, and birds are considered normal household pets. No animals which are not normal household pets, no snakes or other reptiles, and no insects of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept in any Unit or in the Common Elements, and no household pet shall be kept, bred or maintained for commercial purposes. 4

5 3. Alterations/Changes to Common Elements. Without the prior written consent of the Board and except as provided in Rule 11 regarding allowed furnishings and decorations, no Unit Owner shall: (a) hang, place, affix or display anything on the outside walls, doors, windows, roofs, railings, patios, terraces, balconies or porches; prohibited items include, but are not limited to, any sign, awning, canopy, shutter, fan, ventilator, air conditioning unit or device, grill, window guard, shelter, radio or television antenna, satellite dish, towels or any projection; (b) make any alterations, decorations, repairs or replacements to the Common Elements; or (c) paint, stain, or otherwise change the color of any exterior portion of any building, including, without limitation, any entrance door to Units. Provided however, that the placement of radio antennas, television antennas or satellite dishes shall be subject to the provisions of the Federal Communications Commission s Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule (47 C.F.R. Section ), as the same may be applicable. 4. Board Approval. Any Board consent or approval required under these Rules and Regulations shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All such approvals will be in writing, and the Unit Owner is expected to retain a copy of any such approval. Any such consent or approval may be supplemented, revised or withdrawn at any time without notice by resolution of the Board. 5. Storage Building. The building, which was formerly the Association office, shall be available for storing bicycles, mopeds and motor scooters (see the Parking Policy regarding the parking of mopeds and scooters). No other items may be stored in this building without the prior written permission of the Board. Mopeds and motor scooters must be completely drained of gasoline before storage. 6. Owner Compliance. Each Unit Owner shall comply with and conform to all applicable laws of the State of Rhode Island, all ordinances of the City of Newport, all condominium documents, including but not limited to the Declaration, the By-Laws and the Rules and Regulations of the Association and shall indemnify the Association and the other Unit Owners from any and all actions, demands, fines, penalties, charges, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by the Association and other Unit Owners as a result of any noncompliance or nonconformance therewith if such noncompliance or nonconformance arises by reason of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Unit Owner. 7. Handling Rules Violations. The Board will determine if a violation of these Rules and Regulations has occurred and will inform the Unit Owner (and/or the tenant, if applicable) of the specifics of the violation (''Notice of Rules Violation"). The Board will also determine if the Unit Owner (or the tenant) should be fined and the amount of the fine, and the Board will send a ''Notice of Fine. Note that the Board may choose to act through the Property Manager when sending out a Notice of Rules Violation or a Notice of Fine. Any fine will be billed to the Unit Owner or to the tenant if the unit is leased, with a copy sent to the Unit Owner. If a tenant fails to pay a fine, the Unit Owner is ultimately responsible for payment. Fines are due upon receipt of the Notice of Fine, even if the Unit Owner is requesting a hearing for which, see below. 5

6 At a Unit Owner's request, the Board shall schedule a hearing to discuss a rules violation with the Unit Owner. Such hearing must be requested by the Unit Owner within ten (10) days of receipt of a Notice of Rules Violation, and the Board will use its best efforts to schedule the hearing within twenty (20) days of receipt by the Board of the Unit Owner's request. At the hearing, the Unit Owner may request to have the Board explain the exact nature of the rules violation and the owner may present any explanation or helpful information in his/her defense. Following such hearing, the Board will make a fmal determination with respect to the violation and any resulting penalties. 8. Fines for Late Payment. The Board may levy fines for late payment of any charges, assessments or fines if payment is not received by the 30th day after the due date. The late payment fine for common charges and other assessments shall be $25 for payments which are 30 days delinquent, $50 for 60 days delinquent, $75 for 90 days delinquent, etc. The Board shall determine fines for the late payment of all other amounts due to the Association. Failure to correct a continuing violation of Association Rules and Regulations (or the requirements of the DeLaSalle Declaration or By-Laws) or subsequent violations of a similar nature may result in additional and increasing fines being assessed, in the sole discretion of the Board. If a fine remains unpaid for 60 days from the due date, the Board may, in its sole discretion, require a deposit of $500 to be paid by the delinquent Unit Owner. Failure to pay amounts due to the Association may result in the Association's recording of a lien against the Unit. 9. Complaints. If a Unit Owner (or tenant) believes that a rules violation has occurred, the Unit Owner should call the Property Manager or a member of the Board. The Unit Owner should describe in detail the nature of the violation, the time, the place and any other relevant supporting information. It is important that all of this information be made available to the Property Manager or the Board member. In the case of an especially serious, unusual or continuing violation, the Board may call the complaining Unit Owner to seek additional information or to confirm facts and circumstances. All complaints will be held in the strictest confidence. 10. Children. Children twelve years of age or under must be under the supervision of a responsible adult at all times. No child shall be permitted to play or loiter in hallways, walkways, stairways, grassy areas, parking areas and driveways, or in any other Common Elements, except in designated "play areas." 11. Decorating/Furnishing Limited Common Elements and Entry Areas. A. Decks, porches and terraces, which are Limited Common Elements appurtenant to a unit, may be furnished/decorated as follows: (i) (ii) Porch furniture and live plants are permitted. Porch furniture shall include customary items such as tables, an umbrella, chairs and similar items. Towels and wet clothing may not be left to dry on outside furniture. Hanging plants are allowed only on the Derham porches, the Cottage porch and the Townhouse lower terraces. Specifically not allowed are skirts on deck railings, plant stands 6

7 higher than normal railing height, and decorative items which would normally not be considered porch furniture or plants. B. Wreaths are permitted on Unit entry doors. In the area immediately outside a Unit entry door, which is a Common Element, one or two modest decorative items or plants are permitted. C. Conceptually, rule 11 is intended to encourage tasteful, modest furnishings and decorative items which, in the opinion of the Board, meet the goal of aesthetic harmony. This rule is intended to discourage excessive, loud or garish items or decorative statements. Obviously, what is tasteful or excessive is subjective and difficult to define. As a guideline, if multiple Unit Owners inform the Board of a situation they feel is excessive, loud or garish in appearance, the Board will take this into consideration in deciding if the situation, taken as a whole, meets the standard set forth in this rule. 12. Electricity. No electrical appliance or device that causes unusual overloading may be used in any Unit. 13. Employees of DeLaSalle Service Contractors. Unit Owners may not direct, supervise or in any manner attempt to assert control over employees of any service contractor engaged by the Association or the Board. Unit Owners may not ask such employees to provide any assistance or do any work for the Unit Owner during such employee's regular hours of work for the service contractor. 14. Employees of Unit Owners and Guests. Employees and domestic help of Unit Owners may not gather or lounge anywhere in the Common Elements. 15. Consumption of Food and Beverages; Cooking. No food or beverages shall be consumed in the Common Elements. Consumption of food and beverages is permitted on decks, porches and terraces which are Limited Common Elements appurtenant to a unit. Consumption of beverages in the pool area is permitted and governed by the pool rules. Outdoor grills are not allowed anywhere except on the surface provided for them in the pool area, unless specific written permission is granted by the Board. Such permission shall not be granted for a grill on or near any flammable surface, such as a wooden porch or deck. 16. Disposal of Garbage and Trash. The refuse dumpster is available for Unit Owners and occupants to discard household trash and garbage, in appropriate plastic bags or containers. The dumpster must not be used for discarding excessively large items, such as old carpeting or furniture, or construction debris. Items of this nature should be disposed of at the Newport Dump. Outside contractors are not permitted to use the dumpster. The Common Elements shall be kept free and clear of rubbish, debris, discarded furniture or appliances, and other unsightly materials, and no garbage cans, wastebaskets or storage containers shall be placed in hallways, stairways, or on staircase landings. 7

8 17. Guests and Visitors. Unit Owners are responsible for the conduct of their family members, guests, visitors, tenants, outside contractors, etc. and any damage caused by them to the condominium Property. The number of guests a Unit Owner may have at any time is not limited to a specific number. The limit is based on a concept of reasonableness, taking into account the size of the Unit, the length of stay, the use of condominium facilities (such as the pool and the tennis court), and the use of condominium grounds. The determination of reasonableness will be made by the Board, as required. (Tenants' guests are addressed in Rule 27.) 18. Insurance. Nothing shall be done or kept in any Unit or in the Common Elements which, in the opinion of the Board, is likely to cause an increase in the premium cost of the Association's insurance. No Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done, or kept, in his/her unit, or in the Common Elements, which would result in the cancellation of the Association's insurance or any part thereof or contents thereof, or which would be in violation of any law. No Unit Owner shall keep in his/her Unit, or allow to be used therein, any flammable, combustible or explosive material, chemical or substance, or other material or substance deemed to be hazardous, except such chemicals which are normally used for household purposes. 19. Keys. A duplicate set of keys to each Unit must be deposited with the Property Manager. Failure to comply with this regulation may result in a Unit Owner being financially responsible for any costs incurred in gaining entrance as the result of an emergency. No Unit Owner shall change or add any lock on any exterior door without depositing a duplicate key with the Property Manager. 20. Landscaping. No Unit Owner shall make any alterations or additions to the landscaping outside his/her Unit or on any of the Common Elements, except with the prior written consent of the Board. 21. Maintenance. Each Unit Owner shall maintain his/her Unit such that the Unit is at all times in good order and in good state of repair. The Unit Owner shall also keep any deck, porch or terrace appurtenant to his/her unit in a neat and clean manner.

9 23. Offensive Activity. No offensive activity shall be carried on in any Unit or in the Common Elements; nor shall anything be done therein, either willfully or negligently, which may cause disturbance to the other Unit Owners or occupants.

No Owner and/or Guest shall play any musical instrument or operate any electronic device (television, radio, etc.) on the Property at a level or volume that will disturb any other Owner and/or Guest. 24. Unit Owner Construction Projects. When a Unit Owner is undertaking a construction project of any kind, the Unit Owner is responsible for assuring that outside contractors do whatever is necessary to minimize noise, debris and any construction-related activity which would unreasonably infringe on neighboring Unit Owners' quiet enjoyment of their Units and the Property. Construction involving any discernable noise must take place between 8 am and 6 pm, Monday through Friday, and not on legal holidays. Without the prior written permission of the Board, a Unit Owner will not be permitted to undertake a "major" construction project during the period from May 15 through September 15. The Board will consider a project to be "major" if it requires such things as a dumpster or storage pod, the set up of power tools outside the unit for more than a few days, or the parking of multiple contractor vehicles on the property at one time. (For additional restrictions on Alterations and Improvements performed by a Unit Owner, see section 8.4.C of the By-Laws.) 25. Plumbing. All plumbing and sanitary systems in the buildings shall be used only for the purpose for which they were constructed. Any damage resulting from misuse thereof shall be the responsibility of the Unit Owner in whose unit the cause of the damage originated. 9

13 DE LA SALLE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION PARKING POLICY A. Introduction. Parking is limited to use by Owners and Guests. Each Unit Owner is responsible for adhering to the Parking Policy. Unit Owners are also responsible for notifying family members, guests, visitors, tenants, outside contractors, etc. regarding parking regulations included in this policy. Failure to adhere to the prescribed parking regulations will result in the imposition of penalties, described below, as determined by the Board. B. Permitted Parking. 1. Only licensed motor vehicles displaying current license plates and in regular use may be parked on the Property. Storage of vehicles on the Property is not permitted. (The term "motor vehicle" or "vehicle" excludes motor scooters, which are addressed separately below.) 2. Vehicles must be parked in designated parking spaces only, one vehicle per space. Except for the loading/unloading provision noted below, no vehicle may be parked in an area which is not an assigned space. 3. In order to facilitate loading/unloading of large or heavy items, a vehicle may be temporarily "parked" in an area which is convenient to the Unit but not an assigned parking space. The length of time so parked should be kept to a reasonable minimum and the vehicle should not be left unattended for any period of time. 4. Assigned parking spaces are for registered motor vehicles. Motor scooters, however, should not be parked in assigned parking spaces unless the Unit Owner has only one vehicle (the motor scooter) on the Property. The Board will provide a designated parking space for motor scooters. 5. In the May to September period, contractors or service providers doing work for a Unit Owner should park in the unit owner's assigned space. To provide for this, the unit owner should move his/her vehicle(s) to lesser-used guest spaces or off the Property. 13

14 C. Owner-Assigned Spaces and Owner Use of Guest Spaces. 1. Each Unit Owner will be assigned one parking space by the Board.

The Property Manager will provide Unit Owners with "DeLaSaIle Owner Stickers" which must be affixed to the windshield of the Unit Owner's vehicle(s). 3. A Unit Owner is permitted to park a maximum of two motor vehicles (excluding motor scooters) on the property. (Including family members, guests, visitors, outside contractors, etc., the maximum is three. See D.3. below.) 4. When Unit Owners and Guests are parking one motor vehicle on the Property, that vehicle must be parked in the Unit Owner's assigned space. When parking two motor vehicles, the Unit Owner's assigned space and a guest space may be used. In the case where two motor vehicles associated with a Unit are parked on the Property and one is driven away, the guest space must be vacated first, i.e. Unit Owners and Guests shall be prohibited from parking a motor vehicle in a guest space when the Unit Owner's assigned space is vacant. D. Guest Spaces. 1. Each Unit Owner will be provided with two guest parking tags for use by guests. The guest parking tag must be hung from the rear view mirror (or displayed on the dashboard) when parking in a guest space. 2. Guests may park in the Unit Owner's assigned space or a guest space. If the Unit Owner's space is vacant, the guest should park in the Unit Owner's space. 3. The maximum number of motor vehicles which Unit Owners and Guests may park on the Property is three (see C.3 above). E. Renter's Spaces. 1. Renters will be issued two parking tags (supplied by the owner) during the orientation meeting held at the start of the lease period. Any renter's motor vehicle parked on the Property must display a parking tag, and both tags must be returned to the owner at the end of the lease period. 2. The maximum number of motor vehicles that may be parked on the Property by the renters of a Unit and their guests is three. 3. All of the parking rules set forth above in items B., C. and D. apply to renters. 4. It is the responsibility of Unit Owners to make their renters aware of the parking regulations and to assist, when requested, in enforcing these regulations. 5. If a tenant or renter is fined for a parking rules violation and the fine is not paid when due, parking privileges for that Unit may be suspended by the Board. Ultimate responsibility for the payment of fines rests with the Unit Owner. 6. Unit Owners' parking privileges are invalid during a lease period and their permits (parking stickers) may not be given to renters or tenants for their use. 14

15 F. Violations and Enforcement. 1. Each Unit Owner must monitor his/her Unit's assigned space. Regular monitoring will also be done by the Property Manager and members of the Board. 2. Violations of these parking regulations by Owners and Guests will be handled as follows: --first offense a written warning --second offense a fine --subsequent offenses additional fines, towing of improperly parked vehicles at the vehicle owner's expense and/or suspension of parking privileges for a period of time, as determined by the Board. 3. Parking rules will be strictly enforced from mid-may through mid-september when the parking lots are extremely crowded. In the remaining months of the year, some flexibility will be allowed, but Unit Owners and Guests must be respectful of each other and must comply with the general intent of these parking policies at all times. 4. If a resident finds an unauthorized vehicle parked in his/her assigned space, the resident should: --leave a polite note on the windshield and try to contact the person parking in the space; and, if unsuccessful, --call the Property Manager and report the incident, giving the car make and license number. The Property Manager will arrange to have the unauthorized vehicle towed within 24 hours. In certain circumstances, such as those involving a repeat offender, the Property Manager will have the vehicle towed immediately. 15
