(d) Assessments to pay a judgment against the association shall be made only against the time-shares in the time-share property at the time the judgment was entered, in proportion to their time-share expense liabilities.

(e) If any time-share expense is caused by the misconduct of any time-share owner, the association may assess said expense exclusively against his time-share.

(f) If time-share expense liabilities are reallocated, time-share expense assessments and any installment thereof not yet due shall be recalculated in accordance with the reallocated time-share expense liabilities.

(g) Any amount identified in the budget as an amount to be reserved for the repair or replacement of the time-share unit or the furnishings, equipment and appliances located therein, shall be segregated by the managing entity, held in trust and used only for the specified purpose for which the reserve was collected unless the time-share owners, at a meeting of time-share owners, or pursuant to either section thirty-three or thirty-four determine to spend said funds for other purposes.
