TO: ALL SHAREHOLDERS DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

Woodstock Sublet Policy

As most of you are aware, a shareholder entered into litigation against the Corporation in 2009 in

connection with the Corporation’s sublet policy. The policy specifically prohibited apartments that

were sold or otherwise transferred after October 2002 from being sublet. The sublet policy was made

by the Board of Directors in 2002 in an effort to increase the owner occupancy rate of the building. It

was successful - over the past 11 years, the owner occupancy of our cooperative has increased from

30% to 65%. It is important to note that the policy improved the quality of life in the cooperative,

and it made the cooperative more credit worthy because many financial institutions mandate that

cooperatives /condominiums have an owner occupancy rate of at least 60%.

After a lengthy five year legal process, the court has determined that the Cooperation’s ‘no sublet

policy’ for shareholders purchasing after 2002 violates the Business Corporation Law which requires

that all shares in the same class must be equal.

As a result of the court’s decision, the Board consulted with other co-op Boards and with legal

counsel regarding sublet policies. The court’s decision necessitates a change in Woodstock’s overall

sublet policy. The court’s decision also presented the Board with the opportunity to make overdue

adjustments to some of the financial aspects of the old policy. Many of the items that bring income

into the building were based on fixed values and not tied to market value and therefore had not been

adjusted to current rates for many years. Fixed values have not allowed fees to keep pace with the

increased costs of running the building.

Effective immediately, the Board has adopted an open sublet policy for all units (except for sponsor

units or units occupied by rent-regulated tenants, as noted below) within the building. All apartments

will be permitted to be sublet for renewable one year terms, upon submission of the complete sublet

package and approval of the application and the proposed tenant by the Board of Directors. All

shareholders who are subletting their apartment(s) will be charged a monthly sublet fee of 30% of

the monthly maintenance fee. For example, if your monthly maintenance is $600, the monthly sublet

fee will be $180.00.

Please note the following regarding the new policy:

For existing sublet apartments where there is a lease currently in effect: The new policy and

sublet fee will apply for all future renewal leases whether the lease is renewed with the

existing tenant or a new tenant when the current lease expires. Should an existing tenant

move out before the expiration of the lease, the policy will apply to any request for a new

sublet.

For new sublets: Any shareholder who wishes to sublet an apartment will be subject to the

new policy and must submit a sublet application package and will be charged the sublet fee at

a rate of 30% of maintenance per unit, per month, billed monthly.

For existing sublet apartments where there is an expired lease and a renewal application has

not been submitted: Any apartment which does not have a current approved lease (upon the

date of this letter) must immediately comply with the new sublet policy. The shareholder has

until October 1, 2014 to submit a sublease package with the new lease and all required fees

Page 4: IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY … · 2017-07-10 · For new sublets: Any shareholder who wishes to sublet an apartment will be subject to the new policy and must

and documentation. If a package is not submitted within the deadline, the matter will be sent

to legal to commence proceedings to remove the tenant and the “failure to have an approved

lease” penalty will be in effect at the rate of $250 per month in addition to the 30% sublet fee

until the lease is renewed. This charge is without prejudice to the Board’s right to institute

legal proceedings if the shareholder fails to apply to renew the lease within the October 1,

2014 deadline. Please note this applies to expired leases only – not illegal sublets, which are

discussed below.

We are instituting the following new policies effective upon the date of this letter:

For all sublets: Failure to pay any/all fees on time for 3 consecutive months will result in the

Board referring the matter to Corporate counsel to commence eviction proceedings. The

shareholder will be charged all incurred costs. In addition to eviction proceedings, the Board

reserves the right to impose a 2 year probationary period during which the owner may not

sublet the apartment.

The Board reserves the right to alter sublet fees, or any other aspects of this policy, at any

time, which would be effective as above upon renewal of an existing approved lease or

immediately if there is no existing lease.

All tenant leases are required to be one year.

If a subletting tenant moves out of an apartment before the lease expires, sublet fees will

NOT be pro-rated; the shareholder will be responsible to pay the sublet fees for the

remainder of the lease.

The Board reserves the right to deny sublet applications in its reasonable business judgment

as authorized by Paragraph 15 of the Proprietary Lease without explanation.

Illegal sublets (sublets without Board approval) are forbidden. Should the Board become

aware of an illegal sublet, the Board will institute legal proceedings to evict the tenant

immediately and the shareholder will be charged a $1000/mo penalty until the tenant is

evicted. The shareholder will be charged all incurred costs. The Board reserves the right to

impose a 2 year probationary period during which the shareholder may not sublet the

apartment.

All shareholders and tenants must comply with the Corporation’s House Rules. Failure of a

tenant to comply may result in the Board referring the matter to legal counsel to begin

eviction proceedings.

The Board has altered the following administrative fees:

FEE Breakdown NEW POLICY

Application fee for new tenant $350

Per applicant credit report $50

Sublet renewal fee for renewal of lease for existing tenant $175

Non-refundable move-in fee (Not applicable for existing tenants

renewing a lease or furnished apartments that do not require the

use of the service elevator). Can be paid by shareholder or tenant.

$300

Page 5: IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY … · 2017-07-10 · For new sublets: Any shareholder who wishes to sublet an apartment will be subject to the new policy and must

Non-refundable move-out fee, paid by shareholder or tenant $300

Refundable move in damage deposit, paid by shareholder or

tenant

$250

Refundable move out damage deposit, paid by shareholder or

tenant

$250

Failure to have an approved lease (expired lease) fee $250/mo

Illegal sublet fee $1,000/mo

The new policy will apply to all shareholders with the exception of apartments (i) owned by the

Sponsor or (ii) occupied by rent-regulated tenants, whether owned by the Sponsor or by a

shareholder (this is pursuant to the rent guidelines which were incorporated into the offering plan

when the building was converted to a cooperative in 1987). Sponsors have the right pursuant to the

Offering Plan to rent their apartments until their units are sold. Once the rent-regulated tenant moves

out of an apartment owned by a non-sponsor shareholder, the policy will apply to that apartment.

We appreciate your support as we labored over this difficult decision. If you have any questions or

require any additional information, please contact Ben Shuman at 212-484-3788.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors

NOTICE TO ALL SHAREHOLDERS

WOODSTOCK OWNERS CORP. 320 EAST 42

nd STREET

NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10017 Re: Homeowners Insurance Coverage

Dear Shareholder:

All shareholders are reminded of the importance of having Homeowners insurance coverage. In accordance with the proprietary lease, the cooperative corporation is not responsible for any damage to your personal property and/or any improvements you may have made to your apartment even if such damage was caused by a building component or system. In general, if damage is caused by a building system, the cooperative is only responsible to restore to original building standard. For instance, if there is damage to your plaster, paint and wallpaper, the building is only responsible to restore the plaster and furnish a prime coat of paint. Since wallpaper is a shareholder improvement, the coop is not liable to restore such damage.

In addition, damage may be caused by your fixture which would result in a claim against you by either a neighbor or the cooperative or the cooperative's insurance carrier.

Subtenants are also required to have renters' insurance for their personal property. Evidence of such coverage must be submitted to the managing agent prior to the subtenant taking occupancy of the apartment.

The Board of Directors recommends the following shareholder coverage: General Liability coverage in the amount of $300,000 and Property Damage in the amount of $50,000 for contents and $10,000 for fixtures. Of course, each shareholder and/or subtenant should contact their insurance representative to ascertain the appropriate coverage for their individual requirements.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 212-484-3788 or email [email protected]. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Ben Shuman Account Executive Signature of Shareholder

Re: Guest Policy

Dear Shareholder (s):

It has been brought to our attention that there are guests residing in some shareholder

apartments who are unfamiliar to the building staff and Board of Directors.

In an effort to maintain building security, we would like to restate the policy and remind

you of the guidelines when having a guest:

Guests are only permitted to stay for thirty days.

The request must be submitted in person by completing a Visitor

Authorization Form. These forms are located at the Concierge Desk.

Faxes and verbal telephone calls will not be honored.

Guests are not permitted to stay in any apartment if the shareholder is

not present.

The Board of Directors will be pleased to consider any written requests, should you

require any special needs.

We thank you for your cooperation in helping us continue to make the Woodstock a first

class community.

Very truly yours,

Ben Shuman
