the cost and expense thereof is a lien against the unit owner's ownership interest, which the Association may assert and collect in the same manner as the Association may assert and collect a lien against a unit owner's ownership interest for nonpayment of assessments. The right of the Association to assert and collect upon a lien is not exclusive but is in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Association in this Declaration, the Bylaws, the rules, in law, and in equity for recovery of the cost and expense so incurred.

(3) Effect of Insurance or Construction Guarantees. The fact that the Association or any unit owner may be entitled to the benefit of any guarantees of material and workmanship furnished by any contractor or subcontractor responsible for any construction defects, or to benefits under any policies of insurance coverage for construction guarantees or insurance coverage, does not excuse any delay by the Association or any unit owner in performing its or their obligations set forth in this Declaration, the Bylaws, or the rules.

(4) Interpretation of Maintenance Obligations. Any conflict between the maintenance provisions of this Section 12, Paragraph k and any other provision of this Declaration or the Bylaws (including Bylaws Article Five, Section Seven) is to be interpreted in favor of the maintenance obligations as stipulated in this Section 12, Paragraph k. In the event of any uncertainty or good faith dispute as to whether the Association or an individual unit owner is responsible for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of a given item, the Board's determination, exercised in good faith, as to whether any particular maintenance, repair, or replacement to be made is the Association's responsibility, the individual unit owner's responsibility, or the Association's and unit owner's shared responsibility in such proportion as the Board so determines, is final, provided that the Board's determination must thereafter be consistently followed. When the Association maintains, repairs, or replaces any item the

(b) All maintenance, repairs, and replacements to the common elements, whether located inside or outside individual units, in accordance with Declaration Section 12, Paragraph k, will be the responsibility of the Association board of managers and will be charged to all unit owners as common expenses unless such maintenance, repairs, or replacements are necessitated by the negligence or misconduct of individual unit owners, in which case such expenses will be the responsibility of and will be charged to such individual unit owners.

INSERT a new DECLARATION SECTION 25·17, entitled "Management, Maintenance, Repairs, Alterations, and Improvements." Said new addition to be added on Page 11 of the Declaration, as recorded at Stark County Records, Instrument No. 200212020097801, is as follows:
