BYLAWS
OF
ARAPAHOE RIDGE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

Article I.      GENERAL.

1.1 Purpose of Bylaws. These Bylaws are adopted for the regulation and management of the affairs of Arapahoe Ridge Homeowners Association, Inc. ("Association"). The Association has been organized as a Colorado corporation under the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act to act as the Association under the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Arapahoe Ridge ("Declaration"). The Declaration has been executed by KDB Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Declarant") and by Arapahoe Ridge Partners LLC, a Colorado limited liability company as Owner of a portion of the Annexable Property. The Declaration relates to real property in Boulder County, Colorado, which becomes subject to the Declaration ("Common Interest Community").

1.2 Terms Defined in the Declaration. Terms used in these Bylaws which are defined in the Declaration shall have the same meaning and definition as in the Declaration.

1.3 Controlling Laws and Instruments. These Bylaws are controlled by and shall always be consistent with the provisions of the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act, the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act, the Declaration and the Articles of Incorporation of the Association filed with the Secretary of State of Colorado, as any of the foregoing may be amended from time to time.

Article II.     OFFICES.

2.1 Principal Office. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, may fix and may change, from time to time, the location of the principal office of the Association provided that, until such time as suitable quarters can reasonably be obtained within the Common Interest Community, the principal office of the corporation shall be located at 2130 S. Valencia Street, Denver, Colorado 80231, Attention Joan Reid. .

2.2 Registered Office and Agent. The Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act requires that the Association have and continuously maintain in the State of Colorado a registered office and a registered agent whose business office is identical with such registered office. The registered office need not be the same as the principal office of the Association. The initial registered office and the initial registered agent are specified in the Articles of Incorporation of the Association but may be changed by the Association at any time, without amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, by filing a statement as specified by law in the Office of the Secretary of State of Colorado.

Article III.    MEMBERS.

3.1 Members. A "Member," as defined in the Declaration, is a Person, or if more than one, all Persons collectively, who constitute the Owner of a Lot.

3.2 Memberships Appurtenant to Lots. Each Membership shall be appurtenant to the fee simple title to a Lot. The Person or Persons who constitute the Owner of fee simple title to a Lot shall automatically be the holder of the Membership appurtenant to that Lot and the Membership shall automatically pass with fee simple title to the Lot.

3.3 Voting Rights of Members. Each Member shall have the right to cast one vote for each Lot owned by such Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Declarant shall be entitled to select and appoint, in its sole discretion, Directors, in accordance with the provision of Section 5.5 hereof (the "Declarant Control Period"); provided, however, that not later than sixty (60) days after conveyance of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Lots that may be created within the Common Interest Community by Declarant to Owners other than Declarant, at least one Member, and not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Members of the Board of Directors must be elected by Owners other than Declarant and that no later than sixty (60) days after the conveyance of fifty percent (50%) of the Lots that may be created within the Common Interest Community to Owners other than Declarant, not less than thirty-three and one-third percent (331/3%) of the Members of the Board of Directors must be elected by Owners other than Declarant. The Declarant Control Period shall cease on the happening of any of the following events, whichever occurs earlier: (a) when seventy-five percent (75%) of the Lots that may be created within the Common Interest Community have been conveyed to Persons other than Declarant and certificates of occupancy have been issued for residences constructed thereon; (b) two (2) years after the last conveyance of a Lot by Declarant in the ordinary course of business; (c) two (2) years after any right to add new units was last exercised; or (d) when, in its discretion, Declarant so determines.

3.4 Voting by Joint Owners. If there is more than one person who constitutes the Owner of a Lot, each such Person shall be entitled to attend any meeting of Members, but the voting power attributable to the Lot shall not be increased. In all cases in which more than one Person constitutes the Owner of a Lot, including instances in which a Lot is owned by a husband and wife, then, unless written notice to the contrary, signed by any one of such Persons, is given to the Board of Directors of the Association prior to the meeting, only one such Person shall be entitled to cast, in person or by proxy, the vote attributable to the Lot. If, however, more than one Person constituting such Owner attends a meeting in person or by proxy, then such Persons shall designate one Person to vote on behalf of such Owner, and the vote of such person shall be the vote attributable to such Lot.

3.5 Resolution of Voting Disputes. In the event of any dispute as to the entitlement of any Member to vote or as to the results of any vote of Members, the Board of Directors of the Association shall act as arbitrators and the decision of a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors shall, when rendered in writing, be final and binding as an arbitration award and may be acted upon in accordance with the Colorado Uniform Arbitration Act of 1975, as the same may be amended; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have no authority or jurisdiction to determine matters relating to the entitlement of Declarant to vote or relating to the manner of exercise by Declarant of its voting rights. No dispute as to the entitlement of any Member to vote shall postpone or delay any vote for which a meeting of Members has been duly called pursuant to the provisions of these Bylaws and a quorum is present.

3.6 Suspension of Voting Rights. The Board of Directors may suspend, after Notice and Hearing, the voting rights of a Member during any period of breach by such Member of any provision of the Declaration or of any Rule or Regulation adopted by the Association including, but not limited to, the failure to pay any assessment pursuant to the Declaration, and for a period of up to 10 days following the cure of any such breach by such Member; provided, however, such Notice and Hearing shall not be required where a Member has failed to pay any assessment levied in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration.

3.7 Determination of Member Voting Percentage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, only Members whose voting rights are in good standing (e.g., voting rights which have not been suspended as provided herein) shall be entitled to vote on Association matters. In accordance therewith, any and all provisions contained herein requiring the approval of a requisite percentage of Members of the Association shall be deemed satisfied when the requisite percentage of Members entitled to vote has been met.

3.8 Transfer of Memberships on Association Books. Transfers of Memberships shall be made on the books of the Association only upon presentation of evidence, satisfactory to the Association, of the transfer of ownership of the Lot to which the Membership is appurtenant. Prior to presentation of such evidence, the Association may treat the previous owner of the Membership as the owner of the Membership entitled to all rights in connection therewith, including the rights to vote and to receive notice.

3.9 Assignment of Voting Rights to Tenants and Mortgagees. A Member may assign his right to vote to a tenant occupying his Lot or to a Mortgagee of his Lot for the term of the lease or the Mortgage and any sale, transfer or conveyance of the Lot shall, unless otherwise provided in the document of sale, transfer or conveyance, be subject to any such assignment of voting rights to any tenant or Mortgagee. Any such assignment of voting rights and any revocation or termination of any assignment of voting rights shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Secretary of the Association.
 

Article IV. MEETINGS OF MEMBERS.

4.1 Place of Members' Meetings. Meetings of Members shall be held at the principal office of the Association or at such other place, within or convenient to the Common Interest Community, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors and specified in the notice of the meeting.

4.2 Annual Meetings of Members. Annual meetings of the Members shall be held in October of each year beginning in 1996 on such day and at such time of day as is fixed by the Board of Directors and specified in the notice of meeting. The annual meetings shall be held to transact such business as may properly come before the meeting.

4.3 Special Meetings of Members. Special meetings of the Members may be called by the Board of Directors of the Association, the president of the Association or by Members holding not less than 20% of the total votes of all Members entitled to vote, excluding votes of Declarant, or by Members holding not less than 20% of the total votes of all Members entitled to vote, including votes of Declarant. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of Members except as indicated in the notice thereof.

4.4 Record Date. For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Members or in order to make a determination of such Members for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Association may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of Members. The record date shall be not more than 50 days prior to the meeting of Members or the event requiring a determination of Members.

4.5 Notice of Members' Meetings. Written notice stating the place, day and hour or any meeting shall be delivered not less than 10 nor more than 50 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary of the Association or the officers or persons calling the meeting, to each Member entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice of an annual meeting shall identify any matter which it is known may come before the meeting including, but not limited to, the general nature of any proposed amendment to the Declaration or Bylaws, any Budget changes, and any proposal to remove an officer or member of the Board of Directors. The notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the Member at his address as it appears on the records of the Association, with postage thereon prepaid. Such notice may be posted in a conspicuous place in the Common Interest Community, such as on a notice board outside the principal office of the Association, and such notice shall be deemed to be delivered to any Member upon such posting if such Member has not furnished an address for mailing of notice to the Association.

4.6 Proxies. A Member entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Member or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact and filed with the Chairman of the meeting prior to the time the proxy is exercised. Any proxy may be revocable by attendance of a Member in person at a meeting or by revocation in writing filed with the Chairman of the meeting prior to the time the proxy is exercised. A proxy shall automatically cease upon the conveyance by a Member of the Lot of the Member and the transfer of the Membership on the books of the Association. No proxy shall be valid: (a) 60 days after the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy; and in any event, for no more than 11 months after the date of its execution; (b) unless the signatures of the Members providing the proxy are notarized; (c) unless the proxy contains the signature of all Members entitled to vote such interest; and (d) unless the proxy states the specific purpose and the specific meeting for which it was granted. Any form of proxy furnished or solicited by the Association and any form of written ballot furnished by the Association shall afford an opportunity thereon for Members to specify a choice between approval and disapproval of each matter or group of related matters which is known at the time the form of proxy or written ballot is prepared, may come before the meeting and shall provide, subject to reasonably specified conditions, that if a Member specifies a choice with respect to any such matter, the vote shall be cast in accordance therewith.

4.7 Quorum at Members' Meetings. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, and except as hereinafter provided with respect to the calling of another meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of Members entitled to cast at least ten percent (10%) of the votes of all Members entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of such Members. Members present in person or by proxy at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of Members so as to leave less than a quorum. If the required quorum is not present in person or by proxy at any such meeting of Members, another meeting may be called, subject to the notice requirements hereinabove specified, and the presence, in person or by proxy, of Members entitled to cast at least five percent (5%) of the votes of all Members, shall, except as may be otherwise provided in the Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, constitute a quorum at such meeting.

4.8 Adjournments of Members' Meetings. Members present in person or by proxy at any meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, for a total period or periods of not to exceed 30 days after the date set for the original meeting. At any adjourned meeting which is held without notice other than announcement at the meeting, the quorum requirement shall not be reduced or changed, but if the originally required quorum is present in person or by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

4.9 Vote Required at Members' Meetings. At any meeting, if a quorum is present, a majority of the votes present in person or by proxy and entitled to be cast on a matter shall be necessary for the adoption of the matter, unless a greater proportion is required by law, the Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

4.10 Order of Business. The order of business at any meeting of Members shall be as follows: (a) roll call to determine the voting power represented at the meeting; (b) proof of notice of meeting or waiver of notice; (c) reading of minutes of preceding meeting; and (d) the conducting of the business for which the meeting was called.

A waiver of notice of any meeting of Members, signed by a member, whether before or after the meeting, shall be equivalent to the giving of notice of the meeting to such Member. Attendance of a Member at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, shall constitute waiver of notice of such meeting except when the Member attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

4.14 Action of Members Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken or which may be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent, in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the Members entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

5.4 Number of Directors. The initial number of Directors of the Association shall be three. The number of Directors shall be increased in accordance with these Bylaws provided that the number of Directors shall not be less than three and no decrease in number shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

The Director elected by the Members other than Declarant shall not be subject to removal by Declarant acting alone and shall be elected for a term of one (1) year or until the happening of the event described in subparagraph (c) below, whichever is shorter. If such Director's term expires or such Director is removed prior to the happening of the event described in subparagraph (c) below, a successor shall be elected by the Members other than Declarant for a like term.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the time Members, other than Declarant, own fifty percent (50%) of the Lots which may be created within the Common Interest Community, or whenever Declarant earlier determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Board of Directors shall be increased to five (5) Directors. In accordance with the foregoing, the Association shall call a special meeting at which time the Members, other than Declarant, shall elect two (2) Directors. The remaining three (3) Directors shall be appointed by Declarant. The Directors elected by the Members other than Declarant shall not be subject to removal by Declarant acting alone and shall be elected for a term of one (1) year or until the happening of the event described in subparagraph (d) below, whichever is shorter. If such Directors' terms expire or such Directors are removed prior to the happening of the event described in subparagraph (d) below, successors shall be elected by Members other than Declarant for a like term.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the time the Declarant's Control Period terminates as provided herein, the Association shall call a special meeting at which time the Members, including Declarant, if Declarant is the owner of any Lots, shall elect all five (5) Directors. The Directors elected by the Members, including Declarant, shall serve until the first annual meeting following the termination of the Declarant Control Period. If such annual meeting occurs within thirty (30) days after termination of the Declarant Control Period, this subparagraph shall not apply and Directors shall be elected in accordance with subparagraph (e) below.

(e) At the first annual meeting of the membership after termination of the Declarant's Control Period, the five (5) Directors shall be elected as follows: Directors shall be elected by the Members, including Declarant, if Declarant is the owner of any Lot in the Common Interest Community. Three (3) Directors shall be elected for a term of two (2) years, and two (2) Directors shall be elected for a term of one (1) year. At the expiration of the initial term of office of each member of the Board of Directors and at each annual meeting thereafter, a successor shall be elected to serve for a term of two (2) years.

5.6 Removal of Directors. Except as set forth in Section 5.5, at any meeting of Members, the notice of which indicates such purpose, any Director may be removed, with or without cause, by vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Members of the Association entitled to vote and a successor may be then and there elected to fill the vacancy thus created.

5.7 Resignation of Directors. Any Director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the President, to the Secretary or to the Board of Directors stating the effective date of such resignation. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make the resignation effective.

5.8 Vacancies in Directors. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall, unless filled in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.6 or by election at a special meeting of Members, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors may be present. Any Director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy shall be elected or appointed for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office. Except as provided herein, a Directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors shall be filled only by vote of the Members.

5.9 Executive Committee. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors in office, may designate and appoint an Executive Committee, which shall consist of three or more Directors and which, unless otherwise provided in such resolution, shall have and exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors except authority with respect to the matters specified in the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act and the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act as matters which such committee may not have and exercise the authority of the Board of Directors.

5.10 Other Committees of Association. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors in office, may designate and appoint one or more other committees, which may consist of or include Members who are not Directors. Any such committee shall have and exercise such authority as shall be specified in the resolution creating such Committee except such authority as can only be exercised by the Board of Directors.

5.11 General Provisions Applicable to Committees. The designation and appointment of any committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any individual Director, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law. The provisions of these Bylaws with respect to notice of meeting, waiver of notice, quorums, adjournments, vote required and action by consent applicable to meetings of Directors shall be applicable to meetings of committees of the Board of Directors.

No prior notice of the annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be necessary if the meeting is held on the same day and at the same place as the annual meeting of Members at which the Board of Directors is elected or if the time and place of the annual meeting of the Board of Directors is announced at the annual meeting of such Members.

6.3 Other Regular Meetings of Directors.

Subject to Declarant's right to disapprove actions in Section 5.6 hereof, any action required to be taken or which may be taken at a meeting of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the Directors.

Article VIII.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICIALS AND AGENTS.

8.1 Certain Definitions. A "Corporate Official" shall mean any Director, officer or Tribunal Member, as hereinafter defined, and any former Director, officer or Tribunal Member of the Association. A "Corporate Employee" shall mean any employee and any former employee of the Association. "Expenses" shall mean all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, liabilities, obligations, judgments and any amounts paid in reasonable settlement of a Proceeding. "Proceeding" shall mean any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether threatened, pending or completed, and shall include appeals.

8.2 Right of Indemnification. The Association shall indemnify any Corporate Official and any Corporate Employee against any and all Expenses actually and necessarily incurred by or imposed upon him to the fullest extent provided by law. The right of indemnification shall not extend to any matter as to which such indemnification would not be lawful under the laws of the State of Colorado.

8.3 Standards of Conduct. The Association shall indemnify any Corporate Official and any Corporate Employee against liability incurred in or as a result of the Proceeding if the Corporate Official or Corporate Employee: (i) conducted himself or herself in good faith; (ii) reasonably believed (A) in the case of a Director acting in his or her official capacity, that his or her conduct was in the Association's best interests, or (B) in all other cases, that the Corporate Official's or Corporate Employee's conduct was at least not opposed to the Association's best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Corporate Official and Corporate Employee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

8.4 Settlement. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the Corporate Official or Corporate Employee did not meet the applicable standards of conduct as set forth in subsection 8.2(a).

8.5 Indemnification Prohibited. The right of indemnification shall not extend to matters as to which the Corporate Official or Corporate Employee: (i) has been adjudged liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Corporate Official's or Corporate Employee's duty to the Association; or (ii) in connection with any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee, in which the party was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee (even if the Association was not thereby damaged). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Association shall indemnify such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee if and to the extent required by the court conducting the Proceeding, or any other court of competent jurisdiction to which such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee has applied, if it is determined by such court, upon application by such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee, that despite the adjudication of liability in the circumstances in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection 8.3 or whether or not the party met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in subsection 8.2(a), and in view of all relevant circumstances, the Corporate Official or Corporate Employee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems proper in accordance with the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Code.

8.6 Prior Authorization Required. Any indemnification under Section 8.2 (unless ordered by a court or in accordance with Section 8.5 below) shall be made by the Association only if authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that the Corporate Official or Corporate Employee is eligible for indemnification in the circumstances because such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in subsection 8.2(a) and after an evaluation has been made as to the reasonableness of the Expenses. Any such determination, evaluation and authorization shall be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of such Board, which quorum shall consist of Directors not parties to the Proceeding, or by such other person or body as permitted by law.

8.7 Success on Merits or Otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8, the Association shall indemnify such Corporate Official or Corporate Employee to the extent that such party has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, dismissal without prejudice or settlement without admission of liability, in defense of any Proceeding to which the party was a party against Expenses incurred by such party in connection therewith.

8.8 Advancement of Expenses. The Association may, but shall not be obligated to, pay for or reimburse the Expenses, or a portion thereof, incurred by a party in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding if (a) the party furnishes the Association a written affirmation of such party's good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in subsection 8.2(a)(i); (b) the party furnishes the Association a written undertaking, executed personally or on behalf of such party, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the party did not meet such standard of conduct; and (c) authorization of payment and a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Article have been made in the manner provided in Section 8.4. The undertaking required by clause (b) must be an unlimited general obligation of the party, but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

8.9 Payment Procedures. The Association shall promptly act upon any request for indemnification, which request must be in writing and accompanied by the order of court or other reasonably satisfactory evidence documenting disposition of the Proceeding in the case of indemnification under Section 8.4 and by the written affirmation and undertaking to repay as required by Section 8.5 in the case of indemnification under such Section 8.6. The right to indemnification and advances granted by this Article shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Association denies the claim, in whole or in part, or if no disposition of such claim is made within 90 days after written request for indemnification is made. A party's Expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing such party's right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be paid by the Association.

8.10 Notification to Members. Any indemnification of or advance of Expenses to a Director (but not to any other party) in accordance with this Article, if arising out of a Proceeding by or on behalf of the Association, shall be reported in writing to the Members with or before the notice of the next meeting of Members.

8.11 Authority to Insure. The Association may purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any Corporate Official or Corporate Employee against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him as a Corporate Official or Corporate Employee or arising out of his status as such, including liabilities for which a Corporate Official or Corporate Employee might not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

8.12 Right to Impose Conditions to Indemnification. The Association shall have the right to impose, as conditions to any indemnification provided or permitted in this Article, such reasonable requirements and conditions as may appear appropriate to the Board of Directors in each specific case and circumstances, including, but not limited to, any one or more of the following: (a) that any counsel representing the party to be indemnified in connection with the defense or settlement of any proceeding shall be counsel mutually agreeable to the party and to the Association; (b) that the Association shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control the defense or settlement of any Proceeding made, initiated, or threatened against the party to be indemnified; and (c) that the Association shall be subrogated, to the extent of any payments made by way of indemnification, to all of the indemnified party's right of recovery, and that the party to be indemnified shall execute all writings and do everything necessary to assure such rights of subrogation to the Association.

8.13 Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification provided by this Article shall be in addition to any other rights which a party may have or hereafter acquire under any law, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, any other or further provision of these Bylaws, vote of the Members or Board of Directors, agreement, or otherwise.

8.14 Applicability; Effect. The indemnification provided in this Article shall be applicable to acts or omissions that occurred prior to the adoption of this Article, shall continue as to any party entitled to indemnification under this Article who has ceased to be a Director, officer, or employee of the Association. The repeal or amendment of this Article or of any Section or provision hereof that would have the effect of limiting, qualifying, or restricting any of the powers or rights of indemnification provided or permitted in this Article shall not, solely by reason of such repeal or amendment, eliminate, restrict, or otherwise affect the right or power of the Association to indemnify any person, or affect any rights of indemnification of such person, with respect to any acts or omissions that occurred prior to such repeal or amendment. All rights to indemnification under this Article shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Association and each party covered hereby.

8.15 Indemnification of Agents. The Association shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to indemnify any agent of the Association not otherwise covered by this Article to the fullest extent permissible by the laws of Colorado. Unless otherwise provided in any separate indemnification arrangement, any such indemnification shall be made only as authorized in the specific case in the manner provided in Section 8.3.

8.16 Savings Clause; Limitation. If this Article or any Section or provision hereof shall be invalidated by any court on any ground, or if the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act is amended in such a way as to affect this Article, then the Association shall nevertheless indemnify each party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law or any applicable provision of this Article that shall not have been invalidated.

Article X.   NOTICE AND HEARING PROCEDURE.

10.1 Association's Enforcement Rights. In the event of an alleged violation by a Member ("Respondent") of the Declaration, these Bylaws or the Rules and Regulations, the Board of Directors shall have the right, after Notice and Hearing as hereinafter provided, and upon an affirmative vote of a majority of all Directors on the Board, to take any one or more of the following actions: (a) levy a Reimbursement Assessment as provided in the Declaration; (b) suspend or condition the right of said Member and anyone claiming through such Member to the use and enjoyment of any recreational or other facilities operated or maintained by the Association (to the extent any such Person is otherwise entitled to such use); (c) suspend said Member's voting privileges as a Member, as provided in the Declaration; provided, however, that the Board shall be entitled to suspend a Member's voting right without Notice and Hearing in the event such Member fails to pay any assessment levied pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Declaration; (d) levy a fine against such Member in an amount determined by the Board; or (e) Record a Notice of Noncompliance against the Lot of the Respondent. Any such suspension shall be for a period of not more than 30 days for any non-continuing infraction, but in the case of a continuing infraction (such as nonpayment of any Assessment after the same becomes delinquent) such suspension may be imposed for so long as the violation continues. The failure of the Board or the Design Review Committee to enforce the Rules and Regulations, these Bylaws or the Declaration shall not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce the same thereafter. The remedies set forth above and otherwise provided in the Declaration or these Bylaws shall be cumulative and not be deemed exclusive. However, any individual Member must exhaust all available internal remedies of the Association prescribed by these Bylaws and the Rules and Regulations, before that Member may resort to a court of law for relief with respect to any alleged violation by another Member of the Declaration, these Bylaws or the Rules and Regulations, provided that the foregoing limitation pertaining to exhausting administrative remedies shall not apply to the Board or to any Member where the complaint alleges nonpayment of Common Assessments, Special Assessments, or Reimbursement Assessments.

10.2 Written Complaint. A hearing to determine whether enforcement action under the Declaration or these Bylaws should be taken shall be initiated by the filing of a written Complaint by any Member or by any officer or member of the Board of Directors or the Design Review Committee with the President of the Association or other presiding member of the Board. The Complaint shall contain a written statement of charges which shall set forth in ordinary and concise language the acts or omissions with which the Respondent is charged and a reference to the specific provisions of the Declaration, these Bylaws or the Rules and Regulations which the Respondent is alleged to have violated.

10.3 Notice of Complaint and Notice of Defense. A copy of the Complaint shall be delivered to the Respondent in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Declaration, together with a statement which shall be substantially in the following form:

"Unless a written request for a hearing signed by or on behalf of the person named as Respondent in the accompanying Complaint is delivered or mailed to the Board of Directors within 15 days after the Complaint was served upon you, the Board of Directors may proceed upon the Complaint without a hearing, and you will have thus waived your right to a hearing. The request for a hearing may be made by delivering or mailing the enclosed form entitled 'Notice of Defense' to the Board of Directors at the following address: Management & Maintenance, Inc., 2130 S. Valencia Street, Denver, Colorado 80231, Attn: Joan Reid.*** You may, but need not, be represented by counsel at any or all stages of these proceedings. If you desire the names and addresses or witnesses or an opportunity to inspect any relevant writings or items on file in connection with this matter in the possession, custody or control of the Board of Directors, you may contact Joan Reid."

The Respondent shall be entitled to a hearing on the merits of the matter if the Notice of Defense is timely filed with the Board of Directors. The Respondent may file a separate statement by way of litigation, even if he does not file a Notice of Defense.

10.4 Tribunal. The President shall appoint a hearing Committee ("Tribunal") of three natural Persons (the "Tribunal Members") upon receipt of a written Complaint as provided in Section 10.2 of these Bylaws. Members of the Tribunal need not be Members of the Association. In appointing the members of the Tribunal, the President should make a good faith effort to avoid appointing next door neighbors of the Respondent or any Members of the Association who are essential witnesses to the alleged violation giving rise to the Complaint. The decision of the President shall be final, except that the Respondent may challenge any member of the Tribunal for cause, where a fair and impartial hearing cannot be afforded, at any time prior to the taking of evidence at the hearing. In the event of such a challenge, the Board of Directors shall meet to determine the sufficiency of the challenge, without the President voting. If such a challenge is sustained, the President shall appoint another member to replace the challenged member of the Tribunal. All decisions of the Board of Directors in this regard shall be final. The Tribunal shall elect a Chairman and appoint a hearing officer who shall take evidence and ensure that a proper record of all proceedings is maintained. There shall be no liability imposed upon any member of the Tribunal for any loss, damage or injury arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of the duties of the Tribunal unless due to the willful misconduct of the party to be held liable.

10.5 Notice of Hearing. The Tribunal shall serve a Notice of Hearing, as provided herein, on all parties at least 10 days prior to the hearing, if such hearing is requested by the Respondent. The hearing shall be held no sooner than 30 days after the Complaint is mailed or delivered to the Respondent as provided in Section 10.3 of these Bylaws. The Notice of Hearing to the Respondent shall be substantially in the following form but may include other information:

"You are hereby notified that a hearing will be held before a Tribunal appointed by the President of Arapahoe Ridge Homeowners Association, Inc. at _____________________ ____________, Colorado _______, on the ______ day of ______________, 19__, at the hour of _______, upon the charges made in the Complaint served upon you. You may be present at the hearing, may but need not be represented by counsel, may present any relevant evidence, and will be given full opportunity to cross-examine all witnesses testifying against you. You are entitled to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, documents or other items by applying to the Board of Directors of the Association."

10.6 Hearing.

(f) Oral evidence shall be taken only on oath or affirmation administered by an officer of the Association. The use of affidavits and written interrogatories in lieu of oral testimony shall be encouraged by the Tribunal.

(g) Each party shall have these rights: to call and examine witnesses; to introduce exhibits; to cross-examine witnesses on any matter relevant to the issues; to impeach any witness; and to rebut the evidence against him. If respondent does not testify in his own behalf, he may be called and examined as if under cross-examination.

(h) The hearing need not be conducted according to technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses. Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of evidence in which responsible Persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rule which might make improper the admission of such evidence over objection in civil action. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be admissible over objection in civil actions. The rules of privilege shall be effective to the extent that they are otherwise required by statute to be recognized at the hearing, and irrelevant and unduly repetitive evidence shall be excluded.

(i) Neither the accusing Member nor the Respondent must be in attendance at the hearing. The hearing shall be open to attendance by all Members of the Association to the extent of the permissible capacity of the hearing room.

(j) In rendering a decision, official notice may be taken at any time of any generally accepted matter within the Declaration, these Bylaws, the Rules and Regulations, or the working of the Association. Persons present at the hearing shall be informed of the matters to be noticed by the Tribunal, and these matters shall be made a part of the record of proceedings.

(k) The Tribunal may grant continuances on a showing of good cause.

(l) Whenever the Tribunal has commenced to hear the matter and a member of the Tribunal is forced to withdraw prior to a final determination by the Tribunal, the remaining members shall continue to hear the case and the hearing officer shall replace the withdrawing member.

10.7 Decision. If the Respondent fails to file a Notice of Defense as provided in Section 10.3 of these Bylaws, or fails to appear at a hearing, the Tribunal may take action based upon the evidence presented to it without notice to the Respondent. However, the Respondent may make any showing by way of mitigation. The Tribunal will prepare written findings of fact and recommendations for consideration by the Board of Directors. The Tribunal shall make its determination only in accordance with these Bylaws. After all testimony and documentary evidence has been presented by the Tribunal, the Tribunal shall vote by secret written ballot upon the matter, with a majority of the entire Tribunal controlling. Disciplinary action and levy of a Reimbursement Assessment under the Declaration, these Bylaws or Rules and the Regulations shall be imposed only by the Board of Directors and in accordance with the findings and recommendations of the Tribunal. The Board of Directors may adopt the recommendations of the Tribunal in their entirety or the Board may reduce the proposed penalty and adopt the balance of the recommendations. In no event shall the Board impose more stringent enforcement action than recommended by the Tribunal. The decision of the Board shall be in writing and shall be served and posted in the same manner as the findings and recommendations of the Tribunal. The decision of the Board shall become effective 10 days after it is served upon the Respondent, unless otherwise ordered in writing by the Board of Directors. The Board may order a reconsideration at any time within 15 days following service of its decision on the involved persons, on its own motion or on petition by any party. However, no action against the Member arising from the alleged violation shall take effect prior to the expiration of the later of (a) 15 days after the Member's receipt of the Notice of Hearing; or (b) five days after the hearing required herein.
