association and the builder have entered into a settlement agreement
or the matter has otherwise been resolved regarding alleged defects
in the common areas, alleged defects in the separate interests that
the association is obligated to maintain or repair, or alleged
defects in the separate interests that arise out of, or are
integrally related to, defects in the common areas or separate
interests that the association is obligated to maintain or repair,
where the defects giving rise to the dispute have not been corrected,

   (1) A general description of the defects that the association
reasonably believes, as of the date of the disclosure, will be
corrected or replaced.
   (2) A good faith estimate, as of the date of the disclosure, of

disclosed to the members of the association and shall retain any
privilege attached to the original disclosures.
   (c) Disclosure of the information required pursuant to subdivision
(a) or authorized by subdivision (b) shall not waive any privilege
attached to the information.
