in the same manner as now provided for corporations. The Depart-
ment shall keep an index of such resident agents. The resident
agent may from time to time be changed by the proper authority of
the regime in the same manner and to the same extent as resident
agents are now replaced for corporations.

(b)    Actions may be brought by service on the resident agent
in actions against any two or more unit owners which arise through
their ownership of such units or arise through any cause relating to
the common elements or of more than one unit.

(c)    Actions may BE brought on behalf of two or more unit owners
as their respective interests may appear by the manager or board
of directors of the regime with respect to any cause of action relating
to the common elements or more than one unit.

(d)    In the event of entry of a final judgment as a lien against
two or more unit owners the unit owners of the separate units may
remove their unit and their percentage interest in the common
elements from the lien thereof by payment of the fractional propor-
tional amounts attributable to each of the units affected, such indi-
vidual payment shall be computed by reference to the percentage of
interest established for each unit in the master deed or declaration.
Upon such partial payment, partial discharge or release, or other
satisfaction, the unit and its percentage interest in the common
elements shall thereafter be free and clear of the lien of such
judgment.

(c) (E) Any partial payment, satisfaction, or discharge, shall not
prevent a judgment creditor from proceeding to enforce his rights
against any other unit and its percentage interest in the common
elements not so paid, satisfied or discharged.

regime provided that repair or improvement liens of a single con-

struction, improvements, or additions to two or more units, or to
the common elements, which are sufficient in value to subject the
same to mechanics' liens as now or hereafter prescribed by law
shall subject the interest of the co-owners to a lien only to the
extent of their percentage interest therein. Required notices of such
lien shall be served on the resident agent as prescribed in § 138 11-123
of this subtitle.

(b)    Liens against the individual unit or against two or more
units for repairs to the common elements may be enforced in a
like manner as provided by law for such enforcement as though
the units were individual parcels of real estate.

(c)    When a lien is filed against two or more units and their
respective percentage interests in the common elements, the unit
owners of the separate units may remove their unit and their percent-
age interests in the common elements appurtenant thereto from the
said lien by payment, or by the filing of a written undertaking
with surety for the payment, of the fractional or proportionate
amounts attributable to each of the units affected. The individual
