NORTHSHORE PROPERTY OWNERS' ASSOCIATION

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA 91361

November 2011

Dear Property Owners and Residents:

This is an update of the fifth revision of our Northshore Rules and information booklet originally distributed in August 1977, revised in November 1981, June 1984, November 1989 and December 2003, November 2011, and March 2013. Please keep it for reference. Future minor revisions, additions, and/or deletions of these Rules will be provided to owners and should be maintained with this booklet. Architectural Rules are published in a separate pamphlet.

The Northshore Property Owners' Association, incorporated in 1973, is a non-profit corporation, chartered and governed by the laws of the State of California. The corporate powers of this Association are vested in and exercised by a Board of Directors. A secretary, treasurer, and various committee members, as well as block captains, assist the Board in its functions. The Board employs the services of a Property Management Company to oversee in the day-to-day affairs of the Association, and delegates certain powers and duties to the managing agent of the Company.

The Board, all property owners, and residents are governed by a document entitled "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions" ("CC&R's or the Declaration") which was prepared by the developers of Northshore and approved by the State of California Department of Real Estate. Included therein are the By- Laws and Restrictions. In addition, the Board has the power to pass rules having the same force and effect as the CC&R's.

The Board realizes that some of the rules and restrictions may

seem strict to a new resident. However, it is the Board's duty and

responsibility to enforce these rules. The alternative would be a

significant degradation in the standards and property values of our

community.

Our community is unique. Westlake Village, in general, and

Northshore in particular, possess great charm, tranquility, and

natural beauty seldom found elsewhere. It is important for us all to

help maintain this quality of life.

Copies of this booklet are available from our Management

Company and should have been provided to you by the real estate

and/or escrow company when you purchased your Northshore

property.

Sincerely,

NORTHSHORE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Revised August 13, 2013 Page 33

SCHEDULE OF FINES AND PENALTIES

ENFORCEMENT OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

Each violation of the Northshore Property Owners' Association governing documents is an infringement on the rights of all other residents of the community. Some infringements are minimal in the breadth or scope of their impacts. Others are very serious.

The enforcement policy of Northshore Property Owners' Association is intended to reflect the Board of Director's recognition of the various different levels of violations, which can occur within a community association such as ours.

The enforcement procedure, therefore, provides for a range of remedies that may be used to ensure compliance with the governing documents. It shall be the practice of the Association to utilize the lowest level of remedy found to be compatible with the gravity of each violation will promptly cause the violation to be eliminated, Implementation of progressively more rigorous remedies may follow as necessary to resolve the problem.

1. Remedies Available

The Board of Directors shall be empowered to utilize each and every of the following measures against a member for each violation of the Northshore Property Owners' Association governing documents:

A. Issue a Letter of Reprimand B. Suspend Voting Rights or Use of Common or Recreation

Areas C. Impose Monetary Sanctions D. Seek Mediation or Arbitration E. Seek Self Help

F. Commence Legal Action

G. Invoke such other Non-Judicial Remedies as may exist

under Statute from time to time.

2. Duration of Penalt ies

No suspension of the rights and privileges of a member shall

exceed thirty (30) days for any separate violation. In

appropriate situations, the Board may determine that a

continuing violation constitutes a separate violation for each

day of its existence.

The amount of the monetary penalty depends on the

violation category. Two categories of violations exist:

Rule Violations (parking, pets, signs, etc.):

First Offense: Warning Letter

Second Offense: $25 Monetary Penalty

Third Offense and beyond: $50 Monetary Penalty

Continuing Offense: Continuing monetary penalties until

violation is cured (not to exceed $5,000 during any twelve

month period.)

Failure to comply with the architectural guidelines or to

maintain the exterior appearance of the property:

First Offense: Warning Letter

Second Offense: $50 Monetary Penalty

Third Offense and beyond: $100 Monetary Penalty

Continuing Offense Continuing monetary penalty until

violation is cured. (Not to exceed $5,000 during any twelve month period)

Failure to correct a violation in response to a warning letter may result in a single monetary penalty, and/or continuing monetary penalties, which may be imposed on a daily, Weekly or monthly basis as the Board of Directors determines to be appropriate to be effective.

In no event shall the monetary penalties for a continuing rule violation exceed $5,000 during any twelve month period. In no event shall the monetary penalties for an architectural guidelines or maintenance of the exterior appearance of the property violation exceed $5,000 during any twelve month period. If the continuing violation is not cured by the time the monetary penalties accumulate to the maximum amount, the Association may elect to take legal action to cure the violation. The imposition of such monetary penalties shall be subject to the notice and hearing procedures described below.

Total monetary penalties, which may be imposed for identical repeated separate violations of any provision of the governing documents shall not exceed:

1.) $5,000 for a rule violation; or

2.) $5,000 for an Architectural guideline or maintenance of the exterior of the property, violation during any twelve month period.

The suspensions and sanctions provided for herein are intended to be cumulative, and may be imposed singly and/or in such combination as the Board determines to be appropriate to be effective. The Association has the right to

pursue one or more remedies simultaneously. The selection

of one remedy does not preclude the Association's right to

pursue others.

All monetary sanctions imposed by the Board shall be due

and payable on the day such discipline has become final.

Any monetary sanction which remains unpaid thirty (30)

days after it has become due shall bear interest at such terms

and at such rates as are provided from time to time by statute

for unpaid assessments.

4. Procedure

No suspension action shall be taken against any person or

any lot nor shall any monetary sanction be imposed except in

accordance with fair and reasonable procedures, which

procedure shall include all of the following:

A. Notice: When the Board of Directors is to meet, to

consider or impose discipline upon a member, the

person(s) and/or lots subject to discipline shall have been

given notice in writing, delivered personally or by first

class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the most recent

address maintained on the Association's books for such

person or lot, advising the nature of the violation alleged

to exist, the section or sections of the governing

documents alleged to be violated, the possible discipline

which might be imposed for each violation found to

exist, and that the person has the right to a hearing on the

matter before the Board. Such notice shall be given at

least ten (10) days prior to meeting.

B. Hearing: Any person subject to proposed discipline by

the Board shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to

be heard concerning the alleged violation and/or any

discipline which may be imposed. Any such person may appear in person or by submitting a written statement. Any such person may be represented at the hearing by counsel, but in no event shall the Association or the Board be responsible for any costs or fees incurred by any person in connection with any appearance by such counsel. Formal rules of evidence need not apply at any hearing conducted by the Board; rather the Board shall be entitled to consider any and all evidence that it deems to be relevant to any issue or matter presented by the alleged violation.

C. The Board may take any matter under submission for later decision. If the Board imposes discipline on a member, the Board shall inform the person subject to proposed discipline of the disciplinary action resulting from any hearing conducted hereunder, in writing, by either personal delivery or first-class mail within fifteen (15) days following the action.

D. No discipline shall become effective until ten (10) days after the decision of the Board has been delivered to or deposited in the mail to the person(s) affected thereby.

E. The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose discipline "conditionally" upon the finding of a violation. Any such conditionally imposed discipline shall describe with specificity the event or action which will relieve the discipline from being imposed finally, or upon the happening of which the discipline will be imposed finally, or upon the happening of which the discipline will be imposed finally.

5. Use of Other Remedies

Revised August 13, 2013 Page 33

A. Self Help may be utilized at any time that it is determined that such remedy is immediately needed to protect the health, safety or general welfare of the community, or when it is determined by the unanimous vote of the Board of Directors that the remedy is appropriate in view of the violation sought to be corrected.

B. Unless legal action is needed to abate a serious violation which has already begun to occur, or to prevent a serious violation which is threatened to occur, it shall be the policy of the Association to invite a person to engage in Alternative Dispute Resolution through mediation or arbitration whenever feasible prior to commencement of any legal action.
