2GOVERNANCE AT SEA COLONYCondominium Associaons There are 30 condominium associaons in Sea Colony, called Phases. Each condominium associaon has an elected Council of homeowners who employs a Managing Agent. ResortQuest Property Management manages all Phases except Edgewater House, which is managed by Legum and Norman. More informaon on your specic condo can be found in the governing documents you received at selement and from your Phase Council and Property Manager. Sea Colony Recreaonal Associaon Addionally, all homeowners are members of the Sea Colony Recreaonal Associaon, Inc., (SCRA), which has an elected volunteer Board of Directors composed of homeowners, and is organized to maintain, operate and administer Sea Colony’s common areas, all amenies, Safety and Security and other community facilies. The SCRA Board employs ResortQuest as its managing agent. Every homeowner is a member of SCRA, which is responsible for all of the community amenies such as the Promenade, the beach, tennis center and courts, indoor and outdoor pools, tness centers, community meeng rooms, playgrounds, parks, transportaon system, Westway Drive, year-round safety and security and all related equipment and systems. Sea Colony’s website, www.SeaColony.com has nearly everything you may want to know about the community, schedules, acvies and meengs. Owners need to create a sign-in and password on the Owners tab to view community documents, commiee and Board schedules, meeng minutes and other owner-exclusive informaon. The Board of Directors conducts open meengs and owners are invited to aend. Councils & Recreaonal Board Your condominium associaon and the SCRA are each overseen by a council consisng of volunteer owners elected by owners. Your council members include at a minimum, a president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer. The total number of council members varies by Phase and might include advisors and associate members. There are 7 SCRA directors. The Council and SCRA get its authority from the governing documents and has all the powers and dues necessary for the administraon of the condominium and Sea Colony common amenies.Welcome to Sea Colony - a unique community that has provided family fun and delight for owners, guests and visitors since it rst opened in 1972.

5FINANCIAL INFORMATION (cont.)Insurance1. Sea Colony has secured a single “master” insurance policy (MIP) which covers all Condominium Associaon (“Phase”) buildings and the Sea Colony Recreaonal Associaon, Inc. (SCRA) buildings and amenies (pools, Promenade, playgrounds, tness and tennis centers, etc.). Flood coverage for buildings is also provided under the MIP unless your building is in a special hazard ood zone, in which case a Naonal Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policy has been purchased. The premium cost of the MIP is shared among all of the insured enes (the 30 Phases and SCRA). Currently, the property deducble is $50,000 per occurrence for all covered losses except “Named Storms” (hurricanes), for which the deducble is $1 million. Since absorbing a large deducble within a single Phase could be dicult, SCRA has established a deducble fund, the escrowed funds for which are derived from the owners of Sea Colony’s 2202 condominium units paid by the Phases along with their allocated insurance premium, which is, therefore, included in your assessments. This plan eecvely limits the deducble exposure for any single Sea Colony unit owner in the event of a large property claim. Sea Colony also purchases various other policies (Crime, Directors and Ocers liability) which also are paid for proporonally by the Phases or SCRA, and are, therefore, also included in your assessment. If you have quesons, consult your governing documents and Phase insurance agreements, contact your Property Manager or send an email to Insurance@SeaColony.com.2. Flood InsuranceAs previously noted, ood insurance policies are purchased on all Sea Colony buildings, as required, and the cost thereof is included in the condo fees paid by the owners of condos in the aected building(s). Please note these policies cover only the building, not the contents of individual condos, coverage for which can be purchased by owners as needed or desired. Owners may receive requests from their mortgage holders to provide proof of ood insurance for their building. Email all such requests to Sea Colony’s insurance broker, Alliant Insurance Services, at SeaColony@Alliant.com and copy Insurance@SeaColony.com. Alliant’s customer service team will then send proof of ood insurance to the lender, and if requested, to the owner, too.3. ALL Sea Colony unit owners are required by their Phase Code of Regulaons to purchase an individual property and liability policy (which usually comes in the form of an HO-6 Condominium policy), the minimum limits of which may vary depending upon your Phase. In most cases, owners are responsible for everything “inside the box” of the walls of their condo (from the inside surface of the drywall) - paint, wallpaper, appliances, mechanicals, doors, oor coverings, kitchen cabinets (Except West Phase XIX), wall le, plumbing xtures, furniture, personal property, etc. Your individual Phase Code of Regulaons documents (Amendment Change - Arcle VI, Secons 2 and 3) denes what is covered and by whom, important informaon to provide to your insurance agent in placing the correct amount of coverage. What To Do If Your Condo Sustains Damage Please nofy your property manager of any claim being made.Exterior damage - contact your Property Manager, who will then iniate the process of ling a claim on Sea Colony’s MIP.Interior damage - contact your insurance agent/carrier and le a claim, regardless of the presumed source of the damage or where you think liability should be assigned. Your insurance company can then make a formal determinaon on the validity of the claim and the extent of damages, and coordinate with other insurance carriers, if appropriate to do so. Minimum Required Property Coverage - $50,000 per unit in all Phases EXCEPT East Phase V ($100,000).Minimum Required Liability Coverage - $100,000 per unit in all Phases EXCEPT East Phase V ($300,000).These limits are minimums; you can purchase higher limits at your discreon. If you rent your unit, you may be requuired to carry higher limits.Loss Assessment Coverage - Most standard HO-6 policies include $1,000 for Loss Assessment. Higher limits are available at what is usually a minimal cost. Should you ever be assessed aer a loss, this is the coverage that would help pay for that expense. Coverage is recommended but not required. Loss of Use CoverageCoverage for Loss of Use is recommended but not required for owners who rent their unit. Your insurance agent should be able to explain and secure these coverages for you.Loss of Income CoverageCoverage for Loss of Income is recommended but not required for owners who rent their unit. Your insurance agent should be able to explain and secure these coverages for you.
