(b) An undivided share in the assets of the association.
(c) The exclusive right to use that portion of the common areas as may be provided by the cooperative documents.

(e) Any other appurtenances provided for in the cooperative documents.
(2) Each unit owner is entitled to the exclusive possession of his or her unit. The unit owner is entitled to use the common areas in accordance with the purposes for which they are intended, but no use may hinder or encroach upon the rights of other unit owners.
