Until the first meeting of the Unit Owners pursuant to Section 1(a) of Article III of these By-Laws, the Board shall consist of three (3) persons designated by Regent's Park Associates. The first Board of Managers will resign and cause the President of the Condominium to call the first annual meeting of Unit Owners within sixty (60) days of the First Closing whereupon the Board will consist of four (4) persons designated by Sponsor and two (2) persons elected or designated, as the case may be, by the other Unit Owners. Notwithstanding, and in addition to the foregoing, the Garage Unit Owner (whether Sponsor or otherwise) shall have the right, at all times, to designate one member of the Board of Managers. The foregoing shall be the composition of the Board elected at any annual meeting where the total of the Common Interests of the Owners of all Unsold Units is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%); but not longer than five (5) years after the first closing of title to a Unit. At any annual meeting where the total of the Common Interests of the Owners of all Unsold Units is less than fifty percent (50%) Sponsor shall not exercise voting control of the Board. However, the Sponsor shall at all times, in the event it owns one or more residential Units, have the right to designate one member of the Board.

All members of the Board shall be owners or mortgagees of Units, or, in the case of partnership Owners, shall be members, employees, agents or designees of such partnership, and in the case of corporate Owners, shall be officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents or designees of such corporation, or in the case of fiduciary Owners or mortgagees, shall be the fiduciaries or officers, employees, agents or designees of such fiduciary or mortgagee, or in the case of the Sponsor, shall be agents or designees of the Sponsor, or of its partners or affiliates.

Section 2. Election and Term of Office.  The term of office of the members of the Board elected by Unit Owners, other than the Sponsor or its designee, at the first meeting of the Unit Owners held pursuant to Section 1(a) of Article III of the By-Laws shall expire on the date of the second meeting of the Unit Owners held pursuant to Section 1(b) of Article III of the By-Laws. Until the total of the Common Interests of the Owners of all Unsold Units is less than fifty percent (50%). but not longer than five (5) years after the first closing of title to a Unit, the members of the Board elected by the Unit Owners shall serve for a term of one year. Except as provided in Section 1(d) of Article III. the term of office of two members of the Board elected at the first annual meeting of the Unit Owners where the total of the Common Interests of the Owners of Unsold Units is less than fifty percent (50%) shall be fixed at three (3) years, the term of office of two members of the Board shall be fixed at two (2) years and the term of office of two members of the Board shall be fixed at one (1) year. The member of the Board designated by the owner of the Garage Unit will serve for one year. The nominees for the Board receiving the highest number of votes at the meeting for the election of members thereof shall serve for the longest terms. At the expiration of the initial term of office of each member of the Board elected at the second meeting of the Unit Owners, his successor shall be elected to serve for a term of three (3) years. The members of the Board shall hold office until their respective successors shall have been elected by the Unit Owners.

Such special meeting may be held and the necessary vote may be taken even if the members present at such meeting may constitute less than a quorum, and each person so elected shall be a member of the Board until the next annual meeting of the Unit Owners, at which meeting a successor shall be elected for such member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, vacancies of members designated or elected by the Sponsor shall be filled only by the Sponsor and all other vacancies shall be filled only by the remaining members of the Board not designated or elected by the Sponsor or Garage Unit Owner, as the case may be.

Any one or more members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time.

The liability of any Unit Owner arising out of any contract made by the Board, or out of the aforesaid indemnity in favor of the members of the Board, shall be limited to such proportion of the total liability thereunder as his interest in the Common Elements bears to the interests of all the Unit Owners in the Common Elements.

Every agreement made by the Board or by the managing agent or by the manager on behalf of the Condominium shall provide that the members of the Board, or the managing agent, or the manager, as the case may be, are acting only as agents for the Unit Owners and shall have no personal liability thereunder (except as Unit Owners) and that any liability thereunder shall be limited to such proportion of the total liability thereunder as his interest in the Common Elements bears to the interest of all Unit Owners in the Common Elements.
