The Association may, in its sole discretion,but shall not be obligated to,provide certain security <br /> and fire protection measures, and maintain or support certain other activities within the Project <br /> designed to make the Project safer than it might otherwise be. Provided, however, should the <br /> Association provide, maintain or support any such measures or activities, then neither the <br /> Association, Declarant, nor any successor of Declarant shall in any way be considered insurers or <br /> guarantors of security or fire protection within the Project, and neither the Association, Declarant <br /> nor any successor of Declarant shall be held liable for any loss or damage by reason or failure to <br /> provide or take any security or fire protection measures or for the ineffectiveness of any such <br /> measures undertaken.

Condemnation <br /> . Whenever all or part of the Common Areas shall be taken or condemned by any authority having <br /> the power of eminent domain, all compensation and damages for and on account of such taking <br /> shall be paid to the Association. The Association, acting through the Board, shall have the right <br /> to negotiate and litigate the issues with respect to taking and compensation affecting the Common <br /> Areas,without limitation on the right of the Owners to represent their own interests. Each Owner, <br /> by his acceptance of a deed to a Lot or other portion of the Property, hereby appoints the <br /> Association as his attorney-in-fact to negotiate, litigate or settle on his behalf all claims arising <br /> from the condemnation of the Common Areas. All compensation and damages paid to the <br /> Association on account of such a taking shall be used to restore the Common Areas,provided such <br /> restoration is possible, with the excess, if any, to be retained by the Association and applied to <br /> future operating expenses by the Board,in its sole discretion. Nothing herein is to prevent Owners <br /> whose Lots or other property are specifically affected by the taking or condemnation from joining <br /> in the condemnation proceedings and petitioning on their own behalf for consequential damages <br /> relating to loss of value of the affected Lots or other property, or Improvements, fixtures or <br /> personal property thereon, exclusive of damages relating to the Common Areas. In the event that <br /> the condemnation award does not allocate consequential damages to specific Owners, but by its <br /> terms includes an award for reduction in value of Common Areas, Lots or other property without <br /> such allocation, the award shall be divided between affected Owners and the Association, as their <br /> interests may appear, by the Board in its sole discretion. <br /> Article X <br /> EASEMENTS AND OTHER RIGHTS <br /> Declarant and the Association and their successors and assigns, in addition to any other easements <br /> granted or reserved herein, shall have the following non-exclusive easements on, upon, over, <br /> across,through and under the Property.
