The Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use the Deposit to settle due outstanding rent payments. Tenant authorizes Landlord to use the Deposit to cover the expenses of obtaining construction permits for additional construction works requested by Tenant, provided such permits are not included in either the Rent or the Service or Condominium Fee. If all or part of the Deposit were used by the Landlord for any of the aforementioned items, the Tenant shall have an obligation to reinstate the used amount within five (5) calendar days following notice of its use by the Landlord, unless such use is made upon termination of the Lease Agreement, in which case the remnant, if any, shall be returned by the Landlord to the Tenant in the thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which this Lease Agreement is terminated, provided prior verification that all utilities bills corresponding to the Tenant are fully paid.

FIRST CHAPTER: SCOPE AND TERM

 

FIRST ARTICLE: General obligatory nature: This Condominium and Administration Bylaw is obligatory to all the joint owners, lessees, occupants or holders under any title derived from the property in condominium, as well as any visitors to whom it may apply. Also, it will be obligatory on the successors of those rights or people who are entitled thereto under any title, lessees or subleases, as well as anybody, either individual or corporation, who under private contract or court ruling should acquire the property, possession thereof, the use and enjoyment of any of the subsidiary properties resulting from the Condominium, which shall be governed by Law, as well as the terms and conditions of the Deed of Constitution of the Condominium. Condominio Coyol is planned in such manner that each one of its subsidiary properties may be constructed and subjected to different stages of development which shall be independent one from others, each of which subsidiary properties shall be capable of being converted into the parent property of an independent condominium, without thereby losing its nature as a subsidiary property to the Condominium, in other words, all of the stages of development will always be connected as part of a general whole which shall enjoy the same services and shared areas. Consequently, the Bylaw of each one of the independent condominiums which will be constituted by each of the subsidiary properties shall be in complete harmony and uniformity with this Condominium and Administration Bylaw, which shall be generally applied and abided by the Condominium, and its stipulations shall prevail in the case of discrepancy, omission or confusion, over the stipulations of the Condominium and Administration Bylaw of the independent condominiums that are constituted by each one of the subsidiary properties that make up the Condominium, since they, even if they become the parent properties of new independent condominiums, shall conserve their nature as subsidiary properties to Condominio Coyol.

SECOND ARTICLE: Irrevocability: Should there exist any reserved private contract subscribed between the persons indicated in the preceding article which in any manner modifies, alters, or revokes the legal system established by Law and this Bylaw, it shall be found null for all purposes and shall lack validity in regard to the Joint Owners of the Condominium and in regard to third parties, as well as any stipulation of the internal administration regulation of each one of the independent condominiums which may be constituted by the subsidiary properties of the Condominium which modify, alter, revoke the stipulations of this Bylaw, unless otherwise established in these Bylaws. Expressly excluded from this provision are the documents that are mentioned in the Twenty-Ninth and Thirty Third Article of this Bylaw, which are acknowledged as valid and binding on all the joint owners.

 

THIRD ARTICLE: Reforms: This Bylaw shall be duly approved and enter in effect from the moment in which the Condominium is registered in the Public Registry. Any reform to this Bylaw, as well as the emission of new text shall correspond solely and exclusively to the Joint Owners Meeting, by unanimous decision of all the Condominium owners, according to the provision of Article 27, Paragraph 5, of the Law. In accordance with the above, any reform or draft of a new Bylaw must be verified by public deed and registered in the Public Registry, if such procedure is possible.

 

SECOND CHAPTER. PRIVATE ASSETS AND SHARED
 ASSETS.

 

FOURTH ARTICLE: Private Assets: The Condominium consists of fifty four subsidiary properties which are described as land for the construction of office buildings, industrial or commercial units, and which make up the private area of the Condominium suitable for construction. Each one of the subsidiary properties has been identified by means of a lot number, as appears on the corresponding blueprint as well as in the deed of constitution. The joint owners acquire, together with the subsidiary or private assets, the right to use the shared elements and areas that are defined by Law and this Bylaw, as well as those entitlements and obligations which are acknowledged and imposed by this Bylaw. In such manner that each one of the joint owners may hold and derive from the entitlement that they may have over the subsidiary property understood to be the private area, the right to enjoy all of those elements of the Condominium that are stipulated for shared use and are necessary for its existence and conservation.

 

FIFTH ARTICLE: Shared Assets: Shared assets will be understood to be civil infrastructure works, such as: vehicular access ways and on-site concrete or paved roads, sidewalks and gutters with their respective curbs, the storm-water system, sewer system, potable water system, electrical power distribution system and exterior lighting grid, telephone and fiber optic network, irrigation system of share areas, waste water treatment plant, green areas and parks, power and telecom control room, water wells pump & control room, surveillance and vehicular access control stations, and perimeter fence, as well as any other urban development required according to law in keeping with the type of industrial or commercial development to be executed in the Condominium, as well as those set forth in Article Ten of the Law. Likewise and under Article 27 of the Law, shared assets will be those which are qualified as such by the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting, even if they are not so by nature, or also those originated out of the necessity, security, health, access, ornamentation and conservation of the Condominium.

 

SIXTH ARTICLE: The relationship between private and shared assets: No joint owner may be limited in the rational use and enjoyment of shared things, nor may any person allege entitlement to greater use of those things because the percentage of ownership of a private area may exceed that of other joint owners in accordance with the provisions of Law. The rights of each joint owner in regard to shared things may not be pledged, encumbered, attached, or transferred to separate dominion, as they are inherent property rights of the subsidiary property and are consequently inseparable therefrom. The pecuniary liability of the joint owner in regard to shared assets shall be determined on the basis of the percentage of developed privately-owned area that the owner’s subsidiary property represents with regard to the overall area of the Condominium, and renouncement of the use and enjoyment of shared things, be it express or implied, shall not relieve the

 

3

 

joint owner from responsibility in regard to the conservation and reconstruction of said assets, or even from the payment of maintenance fees, together with any obligation derived from the Condominium Property System, meaning that the joint owners’ liability in regard to shared assets are inalienable. Those assets for shared use and enjoyment may be subject to leasing, prior agreement of the Condominium Joint Owners Meeting by a vote which shall not represent less than two thirds of the total value of the Condominium.

 

SEVENTH ARTICLE: Use of shared assets: The owners are obligated to ensure the due use of the shared assets of the Condominium, as well as to notify the Administrator of any situation, fact or act which jeopardizes the security and conservation of those assets. Each joint owner, lessee, Occupant or holder, or any individual or corporation which occupies a subsidiary property, independently from the owner thereof, shall be responsible for damages caused to shared things through fault or negligence, or by its tenants, employees, salespeople, or visitors, and they will be liable to cover the costs incurred for repairs, failing which the sanctions set forth herein will be applied. Also, all of the Joint Owners, lessees, Occupants and holders under any title shall abstain from all acts, even within their own property, which impede or lessen the efficiency of the operation or use of the shared areas.

 

EIGHTH ARTICLE: Improvements to shared assets and maintenance: Under Article 30 of the Law, the Administrator is responsible on behalf of the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting for the care and surveillance of the shared assets and services, the care and operation of the installations and general services, as well as of all of the conservation processes of the Condominium. Furthermore, the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting may set the corresponding guidelines for the Administrator to perform his/her duties, and particularly regarding the care of the shared assets. Improvements to the shared assets shall be approved in the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting according to Article 14 of the Law in the following manner: a) Necessary improvements shall be approved by owner votes representing a simple majority of the value of the Condominium, and b) Useful improvements, by owner votes representing two thirds of the value of the Condominium. The Joint Owners, lessees, Occupants or holders, under any title, are obligated to permit and support the annoyance caused by maintenance work in shared and private areas, as well as conservation work and repairs. Consequently, the access and throughway of the people in charge of overseeing, directing and performing such work shall be allowed in all of the areas of the Condominium that are involved in maintenance. The Administrator, on his/her part, shall implement all pertinent measures to ensure that the maintenance work produces as little annoyance or damage as possible.

 

THIRD CHAPTER. GOVERNING AND ADMINISTRATION BODIES

 

NINTH ARTICLE: On the Condominium Owners’ General Meeting, meetings, convocation and quorum: The Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting, is the Supreme Body of the Condominium and therefore its governing body, and its decisions are binding on all the joint owners, lessees, occupants or holders, under any title, of the subsidiary properties or areas of the Condominium.

Quorum to call order of the Meeting on the First Summon will be accounted by those joint owners representing a minimum of two thirds of the total value of the Condominium, and by any number of joint owners present for the Second Summon. All summons shall be issued in writing and with acknowledgment of receipt by any adult person in his/her right mind who may be working at the domicile of the Joint Owners which they notified to the Condominium Administrator for that purpose.

5

 

of the registered subsidiary properties of the Condominium.

SEVENTH CHAPTER: MISCELLANEOUS:

 

TWENTY-NINTH ARTICLE: General regulation which the joint owners shall abide: In view that the Condominium is an Industrial Park subject to the Free Zone System, and that on the date when it was subjected to the Condominium Property System it obtained the respective approvals from the regulatory public agencies, such as, without limitation, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Promotora de Comercio Exterior PROCOMER, the National Environmental Technical Secretariat SETENA, the General Customs Service, the Ministry of Health, “INVU”, “WAS” and the institutions that provide approval for the Condominium Property System, the joint owners who acquire a subsidiary property in the Condominium also acquire a property subject to the general inalienable regulations regarding the nature, use, structural and organizational make-up of the Condominium which they must abide by at all times. Consequently, the Joint Owners are obligated to abide by the stipulations contained in the Law and Bylaw, those of the Internal Rules of Operation of Zona Franca Coyol S.A., as approved by PROCOMER and the Coyol Free Zone Master Plan a copy of which

 

20

The Administrator will provide the joint owners with an information pamphlet that will contain this Bylaw, the Internal Rules of Operation of Zona Franca Coyol S.A., the Coyol Free Zone Master Plan, and the environmental commitments acquired by the Condominium before SETENA. Nevertheless, no joint owner may allege ignorance of the stipulations and regulations to which he/she/it is subject because of the fact that the Administrator does no provide such information, since the joint owner, upon acquiring the property and consequently all of the obligations specified in this Bylaw, will be subject to strict compliance and it shall be his/her/its individual obligation to be duly informed and gather the regulations that have been mentioned. Breach by the joint owner of any of the stipulations that govern the Condominium will be put before the Condominium Owners’ General Meeting, which will determine the measures and sanctions that will be imposed on the respective joint owner.

 

THIRTIETH ARTICLE: On the affectation of the subsidiary properties to the Condominium Property System: In view of the legal nature of this Condominium, that is, that each subsidiary property represents a stage of construction and each one of them may be submitted individually to the Condominium Property System thus creating Independent Condominiums which will be joined by the shared areas of Condominio Coyol, the owners of the subsidiary properties which wish to submit their property to the Condominium Property System under the Law, shall abide and ensure compliance with the terms, conditions and provision contained in this Bylaw by the joint owners, lessees, occupants or holders, under any title, of the resulting Independent Condominiums. Likewise, they shall include in their own regulations all obligations that as Joint Owners of this Condominium they have accepted and acquired. Breach of the stipulations herein will be considered a serious violation of this Bylaw and will empower the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting to demand compliance.

 

THIRTY-FIRST ARTICLE: Modification of the Bylaw: Any modifications of this Bylaw, be it total or partial, may only be executed by the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting according to Law and by means of resolutions taken by unanimous vote of all the owners or joint owners of the Condominium. Every modification must be registered in the Public Registry and shall be informed by Administration to the joint owners. The Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting will be the only responsible body to interpret this Bylaw, and such interpretation will be binding on the parties. To determine if the interpretation is reasonable or not, the opinion in that regard specified in writing by the legal advisors of the Condominium’s Legal counsel will suffice. The lack of validity or efficiency of one or more of the stipulations of this Bylaw will not cause the lack of validity and effect of the remaining stipulations hereof.

 

THIRTY-SECOND ARTICLE: Extinguishment of the Condominium Property System: The extinguishment of the Condominium Property System may take place by resolution of the Condominium Joint Owners’ Meeting, by unanimous vote of all the subsidiary property owners of the Condominium, providing that such extinguishment does not disobey other legislation related to the subject, particularly in regard to the possible remaining lots or units. The extinguishment of the system will take effect from its registration in the Public Registry. In that case, the entries of the parent property and subsidiary properties will be cancelled in the Condominium Properties Section and the new immovable

 

21

Cytyc will not be jointly liable with the Joint Owners, to pay fees generated from the non compliance or damages as established in Article 23, Section i) above, when they are not attributable to Cytyc; nor will Cytyc assume any Joint Owner obligation that is not contemplated in Cytyc Lease Agreement. Also Cytyc may not be evicted from filial properties 23 and 24, for the non compliance by the Joint Owners of its obligations to repair damages to shared areas and services of the Condominium, if the such damages are not attributable to Cytyc. If any such damages are attributable to Cytyc, Cytyc will have to repair in accordance with the Lease Agreement.
