             318      and facilities on the basis of par value unless the declaration:
             319          (a) prohibits the creation of any units not substantially identical to the units depicted on
             320      the condominium plat recorded pursuant to Subsection 57-8-13 (1); or

             325          (2) (a) Interests in the common areas and facilities may not be allocated to any units to
             326      be created within any convertible land or within any additional land until a condominium plat

             328          (b) Simultaneously with the recording of the supplemental condominium plat required
             329      under Subsection (2)(a), the declarant shall execute and record an amendment to the
             330      declaration which reallocates undivided interests in the common areas and facilities so that the
             331      units depicted on the supplemental condominium plat shall be allocated undivided interests in
             332      the common areas and facilities on the same basis as the units depicted on the condominium
             333      plat that was recorded simultaneously with the declaration pursuant to Subsection 57-8-13 (1).
             334          (3) If all of a convertible space is converted into common areas and facilities, including
             335      limited common areas and facilities, then the undivided interest in the common areas and


             336      facilities appertaining to the convertible space shall afterward appertain to the remaining units
             337      and shall be allocated among them in proportion to their undivided interests in the common
             338      areas and facilities. The principal officer of the unit owners' association or of the management
             339      committee, or any other officer specified in the declaration, shall immediately prepare, execute,
             340      and record an amendment to the declaration reflecting the reallocation of undivided interest
             341      produced by the conversion.
             342          (4) (a) If the expiration or termination of any lease of a leasehold condominium causes
             343      a contraction of the condominium project which reduces the number of units, or if the
             344      withdrawal of withdrawable land of a contractible condominium causes a contraction of the
             345      condominium project which reduces the number of units, the undivided interest in the common
             346      areas and facilities appertaining to any units so withdrawn shall afterward appertain to the
             347      remaining units, being allocated among them in proportion to their undivided interests in the
             348      common areas and facilities.
             349          (b) The principal officer of the unit owners' association or of the management
             350      committee, or any other officer specified in the declaration shall immediately prepare, execute,
