The Condominiums were established as a condominium by the Declaration in accordance with article 1301a of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes, the state statute that was later codified as chapter 81 of the Texas Property Code, which statute is known as the Texas Condominium Act. The Unit Owners amended the Declaration and the Bylaws to be governed by chapter 82 of the Texas Property Code, which statute is known as the Texas Uniform Condominium Act and is referred to herein as TUCA.
L.1.c.Association. [RC item 2] is a Texas nonprofit corporation formed to be the “council of co-owners” (also known as the “Association”) governing the Condominiums.

ii.Terms of Sale Set Forth in Condominium Termination Agreement. The termination agreement sets forth the terms of sale of the property comprising the former condominium.
iii.Owner’s Sales Proceeds Percentage per TUCA Appraisal. The proceeds of the sale shall be distributed by the Association to the Unit Owners pursuant to an independent appraisal by an appraiser (the “TUCA Appraiser”) of the fair market value (the “TUCA Appraisal”) determining each Unit Owner’s share of the proceeds of the sale (the “Owner’s Sales Proceeds Percentage”).

L.1.e.On Termination, Title to Property Vests in Association as Trustee. Section 82.068 of the Texas Property Code (TUCA), a copy of which section is attached as an exhibit to the Condominium Termination Agreement [attached to this Contract as Exhibit F], provides that upon termination of a condominium pursuant to a condominium termination agreement, title to the real property constituting the condominium vests in the Association as trustee for the holders of all interests in the Units with the power to effect the sale of the property of the condominium free and clear of the Condominium Documents and the condominium regime created thereby.

vii.Disbursement of Funds. The Title Company will pay at Closing out of the Purchase Price, for the Association’s account, the expenses to be paid at Closing by the Association and will apply any prorations allocable to Seller to the remainder of the Purchase Price. Thereafter, in accordance with TUCA, the Title Company will apportion between the Unit Owners the remainder of the Purchase Price on the basis of each Unit Owner’s interest, as determined by the appraisal completed in accordance with TUCA, and from such apportioned Purchase Price, the Title Company will pay any mortgage or deed of trust, assessments due the Association, other liens encumbering each Unit Owner’s Unit, and other costs necessary to resolve any Schedule C matters on the Title Commitment with regard to each such Unit Owner. The remainder of the apportioned amounts after those payments, subject to any required IRS withholding (20 percent if the particular Unit Owner does not provide a nonforeign affidavit), will be paid to each respective Unit Owner.
