1. The real property is conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value before the recordation of a broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien.

If part of the common elements is acquired by eminent domain,  the portion of the award attributable to the common elements taken shall be paid to the association for the benefit of the unit owners. Unless the declaration provides otherwise,  any portion of the award attributable to the acquisition of a limited common element shall be equally divided among the owners of the units to which that limited common element was allocated at the time of acquisition.
