mentioned herein.
Any complaint which alleges a violation of the Declaration, By-Laws or Rules and Regulations must be
made in writing and shall contain substantially the same information as that set forth in the Witness
Statement attached hereto as Exhibit "C". No verbal complaints will be acted upon. At a minimum the
complaint shall set forth:
• The name, address and phone number of the complaining witness.
 The homeowner's name and address where the person or resident complained of resides, if
known.
 The specific details or description of the alleged violation, including the date, time and location
where the alleged violation occurred.
 A statement by the complaining witness that he or she will cooperate in the enforcement
procedures and will provide testimony at any hearing or trial which may be necessary.
• The signature of the complaining witnesses and the date on which the complaint is made.
When a complaint is made pursuant to the above, the owner shall be notified of the alleged violation by
the association or its duly authorized agents. In cases where the owner is not the resident, both the owner
and the resident will be notified. The notification shall be in a manner prescribed by the Board in a form
similar to that, which is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" (hereafter called Notice of Violation).
In the event the alleged violation is not the first violation by the owner, or in the event the violation is
such that serious, immediate or irreparable consequences may occur by delay, the Board may elect to
forward the matter to the Association's attorney for appropriate action. All legal expenses and costs
incurred will be assessed to the owner's account, if the owner or resident is found in violation of the
Rules and Regulations.
The Association's attorney if contacted regarding the violation, shall send such notices, make such
demands and take such actions as are necessary to protect the interests of the Association in accordance
with the provisions of the Declaration, By-laws or Rules and Regulations of the Association.
If any owner charged with a violation either believes that no violation has occurred or that he has been
wrongfully or unjustly charged hereunder, the owner must proceed as follows:
 Within ten (10) business days after the Notice of Violation has been served on the homeowner
pursuant to the provisions herein, the homeowner must submit, in writing, a request for a hearing
concerning the violation. A hearing may be requested by completing the Request for a Hearing
Form, which is included as part of Exhibit "D" (Notice of Violation) and returning it to the
Managing Agent.
Page 11
 If a request for a hearing is filed, a hearing on the complaint shall be held before the Board.
The hearing shall be conducted no later than four (4) weeks after delivery of the written request,
prior to a scheduled Board meeting where possible.
 At any such hearing, the Board shall hear and consider the argument, evidence or statements
regarding the alleged violation, first from any person or persons having direct knowledge of the
alleged violation and then from the alleged violator and any witnesses on his behalf. Following a
hearing and due consideration, the Board shall issue its decision regarding the alleged violation.
If the Board has found the complaint to be made in bad faith, the complaining party will be
assessed any administrative fees and any expenses incurred by the Association in relation to the
bad faith complaint. The decision of the Board shall be made by majority vote and shall be final
and binding on the homeowner and the Association.
 Payment of any charges, costs or expenses made pursuant to the provisions contained herein
shall not become due and owing until the Board has completed its decision. Notification of the
Board's decision shall be made in writing using the form on Exhibit “E”.
 If no request for a hearing is filed within ten (10) business days, a hearing will be considered
waived, the allegations in the Notice of Violation shall be deemed admitted by default, and
appropriate fines shall be imposed. The owner shall be notified by the Association of any such
decision, in writing, as if a hearing had been conducted by the Board.
If an owner is found to have violated personally or is otherwise liable for a violation of any of the
provisions of the Declaration, By-Laws or Rules and Regulations of the Association, the following shall
occur:
 If found to be responsible for a first violation of a given provision of the Declaration, Bylaws or
Rules and Regulations, the home owner shall be notified of the finding by the Board that a first
violation has occurred. The first violation, at the discretion of the Board, may be considered a
warning that, if any further violations occur, a fine for the violation will be imposed. In the
alternative, the Board may elect to assess a fine, after considering the factors including, but not
limited to the length of time the violator has owned a home or resided on the property, whether
the violation was committed by the owner, and if not, the extent of control the owner had or
should have had over the violator's conduct, the familiarity of the violator with the regulation,
the severity of the violation and other appropriate factors. In addition, any legal expenses
incurred by the Association or any actual damages repaired at the Association's expense may be
imposed.
 If found responsible for a second or continuing violation of the same provision of the
Declaration, By-Laws, or Rules and Regulations, the owner shall be notified of the finding by
the Association or its duly authorized agent. The owner shall also be assessed a fine.
Page 12

 If found to be responsible for any violation, including a first violation, the notice of decision
may also require the owner to correct any damage or any unauthorized condition on the property
for which the owner has been found responsible, to pay the costs of any repairs which have
previously been made, and to pay any legal expenses and costs incurred by the Association as a
result of the violation. The Board will permit the owner to make repairs only after approving the
particular work to be done, the materials to be used, the contractor and any other considerations
deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board. The homeowner must provide all plans,
specifications and other documents or items requested by the Board in order to review the work
to be done.
 In the event any violation has resulted in damage to any common area property, which has not
yet been repaired, or has resulted in any damage or any unauthorized condition of the property,
the owner will be given one notice of violation to correct the damage or architectural violation.
The Board will permit the owner to make repairs only after approving the particular work to be
done, the materials to be used, and the contractor selected so as to preserve the Association's
warranties and rights while holding the home owner responsible for payment. If the damage of
violation has not been corrected within ten (10) business days after a second notice of a finding
of violation, the Association will proceed to have the violation corrected, and the owner will be
assessed for the full cost of labor and materials required.

own time and expense, and in order to compensate the Association for the administrative expenses
involved in obtaining and supervising any such correction, the Association will assess any owner who
forces the Association to correct a violation, with the cost of labor and materials, as well as an
administrative charge of Seventy-Five Dollars ($75.00) plus time and expenses of the Management
Company.
Page 13

such charges are due. Failure to make the payment on time shall subject the owner to all of the legal or
equitable remedies necessary for the collection thereof. All charges imposed hereunder shall be added to
the owner's account, shall become a special assessment against the home and shall be collectible as a
common expense in the same manner as any regular or special assessment against the home.
Time is of the essence of this policy. Notices are deemed served either:
1. By personal delivery at the time of delivery, or
2. Two (2) days after deposit in the United States mail, provided that notice has been sent both
by regular first class and by certified mail-return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the
owner at the last known address, or to such other addresses the owner shall have previously
filed with the Board, and further provided that either the return receipt has been signed and
returned or that the notice sent by regular mail has not been returned to the Association
undelivered. For homes held in Trust, the notices may be sent either to the address of the
Trustee, or to such address as has been provided to the Association by the Trustee or the
beneficial owner of the Trust.
. The remedies herein are not exclusive, and the Board may, in addition, take any action provided at law,
in equity, or in Declaration and By-Laws to prevent or eliminate violations thereof of the Rules and
Regulations of the Association.

cutting, which shall be furnished by the Association) and watering the grass and other
landscaping on the Owner's Lot, and (ii) maintenance, repair and replacement of the driveway
located on the Owner's Lot to the extent not maintained b the Association as rovided under

Owner's La t e Owner is responsible for maintaining hereunder in good condition and
repaIr or the appearance of such portions is not of the quality ofthat of other Lots in the

time, then the Board may, in its discretion, take the following action:
(i) advise the Owner of the work which must be done and allow the Owner at
least twenty (20) days (or less in the case of an emergency) to cause the work to be done;
and
(ii) if the work is not done to the satisfaction of the Board, in its sole judgment,
then the Board may seek injunctive relief, levy a fine and/or cause such work to be done
and the cost thereof shall be a Charge payable by the Owner to the Association upon
demand.
3.04 CERTAIN UTILITY COSTS: Certain utility costs incurred in connection with the
use, operation and maintenance of the Premises may not be separately metered and billed to the
Association. If the cost for any such utility is metered and charged to a Lot rather than being
separately metered and charged to the Association, then the following shall apply:
(a) Ifin the opinion of the Board, each Owner is sharing in a fair and equitable
manner the cost for such service, then no adjustment shall be made and each Owner shall
pay his own bill; or
(b) If in the opinion of the Board, the Owner of a Home is being charged
disproportionately for costs allocable to the Community Area, then the Association shall
pay, or reimburse such Owner, an amount equal to the portion of the costs which in the
reasonable determination of the Board is properly allocable to the Community Area and
the amount thereof shall be Community Expenses hereunder.
Any determinations or allocations made hereunder by the Board shall be final and binding on all
parties.
3.05 DAMAGE BY RESIDENT: If, due to the act or omission of a Resident of a Home,
or ofa household pet or guest or other authorized occupant or invitee of the Owner ofa Lot,
damage shall be caused to the Community Area and maintenance, repairs or replacements shall

shall pay for such damage and such maintenance, repairs and replacements, as may be
determined by the Board, to the extent not covered by insurance carried by the Association.

any Lot or any part of the Home which is visible from outside the Home by an Owner without the
prior written consent of the Board and compliance with applicable ordinances of the
Municipality. If an addition, alteration or improvement which requires Board consent hereunder
is made to a Lot by an Owner without the prior written consent of the Board, then the Board may,
in its discretion, take any of the following actions:
(a) Require the Owner to remove the addition, alteration or improvement and
restore the Lot to its original condition, all at the Owner's expense; or
(b) If the Owner refuses or fails to properly perform the work required under (a),
the Board may cause such work to be done and may charge the Owner for the cost thereof
as determined by the Board.
3.08 BACKUP SPECIAL SERVICE AREA: The Municipality may establish a Special
Service Area to serve as what is commonly referred to as a "Backup Special Service Area", to
give the Municipality the power to levy taxes to pay the cost of maintaining the Community Area
if the Association fails to do so and the Municipality chooses to furnish such services.
3.09 ADDITIONAL SERVICES: In addition to the services required to be provided by
the Association, the Association may furnish services relating to the use and maintenance of a
Lot or Lots such as, for example, maintenance of landscaping on the Lot, in addition to grass
cutting, or maintenance or repairs to the Home or driveway or walkways on the Lot and may
charge the cost of providing such services to the Owner or Owners who benefit from the service.
The Board may charge the Owner of each Lot which receives any such service for the reasonable
cost of providing such service, which may be allocated in equal shares for each of the Lots which
is served, or on such other reasonable basis as the Board may deem appropriate. Any amount
charged to an Owner for services furnished pursuant to this Section shall be due and payable at
such time or times as designated by the Board and failure to pay any such amount shall give rise
to a lien provided for in Section 7.01.
3.10 STORMW ATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES. The Board may from time to
time revise the maintenance plan which is attached hereto as Exhibit C ("Maintenance Plan"), as
necessary, relating to those portions of the Community Area which are designated on the Final
Plat as being either "Wetlands" or "Buffer Areas" or which constitute "Stormwater
Management Facilities." Any portions of the Community Area which are designated as
Wetlands or Buffer Areas or which constitute Stormwater Management Facilities shall be
maintained exclusively by the Association in compliance with the Maintenance Plan. No
Wetlands or Buffer Areas or Stormwater Management Facilities shall be altered without prior
written consent of the Board and the Municipality. The Board shall not permit, cause or
authorize any modification, alteration or improvement to be made to any portion of the Wetlands,
Buffer Areas or Stormwater Management Facilities without complying with applicable laws,
regulations and rules governing such areas, including, without limitation, the Maintenance Plan.

liability insurance, including liability for injuries to and death of persons, and property damage,
in such limits as it shall deem desirable, and workmen's compensation insurance and other
liability insurance as it may deem desirable, insuring each Owner, the Association, its directors
and officers, the Declarant, the managing agent, if any, and their respective employees and
agents, as their interests may appear, from liability resulting from an occurrence on or in
connection with, the Community Area. The Board may, in its discretion, obtain any other
insurance which it deems advisable including, without limitation, insurance covering the
directors and officers from liability for good faith actions beyond the scope of their respective
authorities and covering the indemnity set forth in Section 5.06. Such insurance coverage shall
include cross liability claims of one or more insured parties.

funds resulting from fraudulent or dishonest acts of any employee of the Association or of any
other person handling funds of the Association may be obtained by the Association in such
amounts as the Board may deem desirable.
(c) The premiums for any insurance obtained under this Section shall be Community
Expenses.
(a) Each Owner ofa Lot shall be responsible for and shall procure fire and all risk
coverage insurance upon such Owner's Home for not less than the full insurable replacement
value thereof under a policy or policies of insurance with such company or companies, in such
form, and for such premiums and periods as he may determine to be appropriate. Any such
policy shall contain waivers of subrogation with respect to the Association and its directors,
officers, employees and agents (including the managing agent), occupants of the Home, the
Declarant or shall name such parties as additional insured parties, as their interests may appear.
Each Owner shall also be responsible for his own insurance on the contents of his Home and
furnishings and personal property therein.
(b) Each Owner shall deliver to the Board a certificate of insurance certifying that a
policy of insurance covering such Owner's Home, as required under this Section, is in effect, and
that said policy shall not be cancelled or materially changed except upon ten (l0) days' prior
written notice thereof to the Board. In the event an Owner fails to procure or keep in effect a
policy of insurance, as required under this Section and provide proof thereof to the Board, then
the Board may on behalf of and as agent for such Owner procure such insurance on the Owner's
Home with a company, in-a form, for a premium and period as determined by the Board to be
appropriate and the cost thereof shall be a Charge hereunder payable by the Owner to the
Association upon demand.

will result in the cancellation of insurance on such Owner's Home, any other Home, or the
Community Area.

which the Owner is required to carry insurance hereunder, the Owner thereof shall, within a
reasonable time after such damage or destruction, repair or rebuild the Home in substantial and
workmanlike manner with materials comparable to those used in the original structure, and in
conformity in all respects to the laws or ordinances regulating the construction of buildings in
force at the time of such repair or reconstruction. When rebuilt, the exterior of the Home shall be
substantially similar to, and its architectural design and landscaping shall be in conformity with,
the surrounding Homes which are not so damaged or destroyed. The Owner shall not be relieved
of his obligation to repair or rebuild his Home under this Subsection (a) by his failure to carry
sufficient insurance or the fact that proceeds received by the Owner from his insurer are not
sufficient to cover the cost thereof.
(b) In the event that any Owner shall fail, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of
damage or destruction referred to in Subsection (a), to perform the necessary repair or rebuilding,
then, the Board may cause such repairs or rebuilding to be performed in the manner as provided
in Subsection (a) and the cost thereof shall be a Charge hereunder payable by the Owner to the
Association upon demand.
4.04 OWNER RESPONSIBILITY: In addition to the coverage described in Section 4.02

above with respect to his Home, each Owner shall obtain his own personal liability insurance to
the extent not covered by the liability insurance for all of the Owners obtained as part of the
Community Expenses as above provided, and the Board shall have no obligation whatsoever to
obtain any such individual insurance coverage on behalf of the Owners.
4.05 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: The Association and each Owner hereby waives
and releases any and all claims which it or he may have against any Owner, including relatives of
an Owner, the Association, its directors and officers, Declarant, the managing agent, if any, and
their respective employees and agents, for damage to the Homes, the Community Area, or to any
personal property located in the Homes or the Community Area caused by fire or other casualty,
to the extent that such damage is covered by fire or other forms of casualty insurance, and to the
extent this release is allowed by policies for such insurance. To the extent possible, all policies
secured by the Board under Sections 4.01(a) and (b) and by each Owner under Section 4.02 shall
contain waivers of the insurer's rights to subrogation against any Owner, relatives of an Owner,
the Association, its directors and officers, the Declarant, the managing agent, if any, and their
respective employees and agents.
4.06 CONDEMNATION: In the case ofa taking or condemnation by competent

authority of any part of the Community Area, the proceeds awarded in such condemnation shall
be paid to the Association and such proceeds, together with any Community Area Capital
Reserve being held for such part of the Community Area, shall, in the discretion of the Board,
either (i) be applied to pay the Community Expenses, (ii) be distributed to the Owners and their
respective mortgagees, as their interests may appear, in equal shares, or (iii) be used to acquire
additional real estate to be used and maintained for the mutual benefit of all Owners, as
Community Area under this Declaration. Any acquisition by the Association pursuant to this
Section of real estate which shall become Community Area hereunder shall not become effective
unless and until a supplement to this Declaration, which refers to this Section and legally
describes the real estate affected, is executed by the President of the Association and Recorded.

corporation, partnership or other legal entity, then the Voting Member for the Lot shall be
designated by such Owner or Owners in writing to the Board and if in the case of multiple
individual Owners no designation is given, then the Board at its election may recognize an
individual Owner of the Lot as the Voting Member for such Lot.
5.04 BOARD: Subject to the rights retained by the Declarant under Section 9.05, the
Board shall consist of that number of members provided for in the By-Laws, each of whom shall
be an Owner or Voting Member.
5.05 VOTING RIGHTS: Prior to the Turnover Date, all of the voting rights at each
meeting of the Association shall be vested exclusively in the Declarant and the Owners shall

gross negligence. It is intended that the foregoing indemnification shall include indemnification
against all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, counsel fees, amounts of judgments
paid and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or other
in which any such director may be involved by virtue of such person being or having been such

proceeding to be liable for criminal conduct, gross negligence or fraud in the performance of his
duties as such director or officer, or (ii) any matter settled or compromised, unless, in the opinion

ARTICLE SIX
Assessments
6.01 PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENTS: The assessments levied by the Association shall

be exclusively for the purposes of promoting the recreation, health, safety, and welfare of
members of the Association, to administer the affairs of the Association, to pay the Community
Expenses, and to accumulate reserves for any such expenses.
6.02 ASSESSMENTS: Each year on or before December 1, the Board shall adopt and
furnish each Owner with a budget for the ensuing capital year, which shall show the following
with reasonable explanations and itemizations:
(b) The estimated amount, if any, to maintain adequate reserves for Community
Expenses;
(c) The estimated net available cash receipts from the operation and use of the
Community Area, plus estimated excess funds, if any, from the current year's
assessments;
(d) The amount of the "Community Assessment" payable by the Owners of Lots,
which is hereby defined as the amount determined in (a) above, plus the amount
determined in (b) above, minus the amount determined in (c) above;
-
(e) That portion of the Community Assessment which shall be payable by the
Owner of each Lot which is subject to assessment hereunder each month until the next
Community Assessment or revised Community Assessment becomes effective, which
monthly amount shall be equal to the Community Assessment, divided by the number of
Lots, divided by twelve (12), so that each Owner shall pay equal Community
Assessments for each Lot owned.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply with respect to the period prior to the Turnover Date. Any budget prepared by the Board
prior to the Turnover Date shall be based on the assumptions that (i) the Development has been
fully constructed as shown on Declarant's then current plan for the Development ("Current
Development Plan") and (ii) all proposed Homes have been sold and are occupied. The Current
Development Plan shall be kept on file with the Association and may be modified from time to
time by Declarant. Prior to the Turnover Date, each Owner (other than the Declarant) shall pay
as the Owner's monthly share of the Community Assessment an amount equal to the budgeted
Community Expenses divided by the number of proposed Homes on the then Current
Development Plan, divided by twelve (12) so that each Owner (other than Declarant) will pay,
with respect to each Lot owned, a monthly Community Assessment equal to what such Owner
would be paying with respect to the Owner's Lot if the Development were fully constructed
pursuant to the Current Development Plan and all proposed Homes have been built and are
occupied .. Declarant shall not be obligated to pay any Community Assessments to the
Association prior to the Turnover Date. However, if with respect to the period commencing on
the date of the Recording of this Declaration and ending on the Turnover Date, the amount of
Community Assessments and working capital contributions under Section 6.07 payable by
Owners (other than Declarant) less the portions thereof which are to be added to Reserves is less
than the Community Expenses actually incurred with respect to such period, then the Declarant
shall pay the difference to the Association. From time to time prior to the Turnover Date, the
Declarant shall deposit with the Association amounts which reasonably approximate Declarant's
obligation hereunder as estimated by the Declarant. A final accounting and settlement of the
amount, if any, owed by Declarant to the Association or by the Association to the Declarant, as
the case may be, shall be made as soon as practicable after the Turnover Date.
6.03 PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT: On or before the 1st day of January of the ensuing
calendar year, and on the first day of each month thereafter until the effective date of the next
annual or revised Community Assessment, each Owner of a Lot which is subject to assessment
shall pay to the Association, or as the Board may direct, that portion of the Community
Assessment which is payable by each Owner of a Lot under Section 6.02( d). For purposes
hereof, a Lot shall only be subject to assessment hereunder from and after such time as an
occupancy certificate has been issued by the Municipality with respect to the Home constructed
thereon.
6.04 REVISED ASSESSMENT: If the Community Assessment proves inadequate for

any reason (including nonpayment of any Owner's assessment) or proves to exceed funds
reasonably needed, then the Board may increase or decrease the assessment payable under Sec-
tion 6.02(d) by giving written notice thereof (together with a revised budget and explanation for
the adjustment) to each Owner not less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the revised
assessment.
6.05 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT: The Board may levy a special assessment as provided
in this Section (i) to pay (or build up reserves to pay) expenses other than Community Expenses
incurred (or to be incurred) by the Association from time to time for a specific purpose including,
without limitation, to make alterations, additions or improvements to the Community Area, or
any other property owned or maintained by the Association; or (ii) to cover an unanticipated
deficit under the prior year's budget. Any special assessment shall be levied against all of Lots in
equal shares. No special assessment shall be adopted without the affirmative vote of Voting
Members representing at least two-thirds (2/3) ofthe votes cast on the question and only those
Owners of Lots against which the proposed special assessment shall be levied may vote on the
question. The Board shall serve notice of a special assessment on all Owners by a statement in
writing giving the specific purpose and reasons therefor in reasonable detail, and the special
assessment shall be payable in such manner and on such terms as shall be fixed by the Board.
Any assessments collected pursuant to this Section (other than those to cover an unanticipated
deficit under the prior year's budget) shall be segregated in a special account and used only for
the specific purpose set forth in the notice of assessment.
6.06 CAPITAL RESERVE: The Association shall segregate and maintain special
reserve accounts to be used solely for making capital expenditures in connection with the
Community Area (the "Capital Reserve"). The Board shall determine the appropriate level of the
Capital Reserve based on a periodic review of the useful life of improvements to the Community
Area and other property owned by the Association and periodic projections of the cost of
anticipated'major repairs or replacements to the Community Area, and the purchase of other
propertY to be used by the Association in connection with its duties hereunder. Each budget shall
disclose that percentage of the Community Assessment, as applicable, which shall be added to
the Capital Reserve and each Owner shall be deemed to make a capital contribution to the
Association equal to such percentages multiplied by each installment of the Community
Assessment, as applicable, paid by such Owner.
6.07 INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION: Upon the closing of the first sale ofa Lot
by the Declarant to a purchaser for value, the purchasing Owner shall make a capital contribution
to the Association in an amount equal to three (3) months Community Assessment at the rate
which shall be effective with respect to the Lot as of the closing plus one hundred dollars
($100.00). Said amount shall be held and used by the Association for its working capital needs.
6.08 PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS: Assessments levied by the Association shall be

collected from each Owner by the Association and shall be a lien on the Owner's Lot and also
shall be a personal obligation of the Owner in favor of the Association, all as more fully set forth
in Article Seven.
ARTICLE SEVEN
Collection of Charges and
Remedies for Breach or Violation
7.01 CREATION OF LIEN AND PERSONAL OBLIGATION: The Declarant hereby

covenants, and each Owner of a Lot by acceptance of a deed therefor (whether or not it shall be
so expressed in any such deed or other conveyance) shall be and is deemed to covenant and
hereby agrees to pay to the Association all Charges made with respect to the Owner or the
Owner's Lot. Each Charge, together with interest thereon and reasonable costs of collection, if
any, as hereinafter provided, shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which such Charge is
made and also shall be the personal obligation of the Owner of the Lot at the time when the
Charge becomes due. The lien or personal obligation created under this Section shall be in favor
of and shall be enforceable by the Association.
7.02 COLLECTION OF CHARGES: The Association shall collect from each Owner all
Charges payable by such Owner under this Declaration.
7.03 NON-PAYMENT OF CHARGES: Any Charge which is not paid to the

Association when due shall be deemed delinquent. If a Charge is not paid within ten (10) days
after the due date, a late fee ofTen Dollars ($10.00), or such other amount set from time to time
by action of the Board ("Late Fee") shall be charged and shall be increased by the amount of the
Late Fee for each additional thirty (30) days thereafter during which such Charge remains unpaid.
The Association may (i) bring an action against the Owner personally obligated to pay the
Charge to recover the Charge (together with interest, costs and reasonable attorney's fees for any
such action, which shall be added to the amount of the Charge and included in any judgment
rendered in such action), and (ii) enforce and foreclose any lien which it has or which may exist
for its benefit. In addition, the Board may add a reasonable late fee to any installment of an
assessment which is not paid within thirty (30) days of its due date. No Owner may waive or
otherwise escape personal liability for the Charges hereunder by nonuse of the Community Area
or by abandonment or transfer of his Lot.
7.04 LIEN FOR CHARGES SUBORDINATED TO MORTGAGES: The lien for

Charges, provided for in Section 7.01, shall be subordinate to the First Mortgagee's mortgage on
the Lot which was Recorded prior to the date that any such Charge became due. Except as
hereinafter provided, the lien for Charges, provided for in Section 7.01, shall not be affected by
any sale or transfer of a Lot. Where title to a Lot is transferred pursuant to a decree of
foreclosure of the First Mortgagee's mortgage or by deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of
the First Mortgagee's mortgage, such transfer oftitle shall extinguish the lien for unpaid Charges
which became due prior to the date of the transfer of title. However, the transferee of the Lot
shall be personally liable for his share of the Charges with respect to which a lien against his Lot
has been extinguished pursuant to the preceding sentence where such Charges are reallocated
among all the Owners pursuant to a subsequently adopted annual or revised Community
Assessment or special assessment, and non-payment thereof shall result in a lien against the
transferee's Lot, as provided in this Article.
7.05 SELF -HELP BY BOARD: In the event of a violation or breach by an Owner of the
provisions, covenants or restrictions of the Declaration, the By-Laws, or rules or regulations of
the Board, where such violation or breach may be cured or abated by affirmative action, then the
Board, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Owner, shall have the right to
enter upon that part of the Premises where the violation or breach exists to remove or rectify the
violation or breach; provided, that, if the violation or breach exists within a Home, judicial
proceedings must be instituted before any items of construction can be altered or demolished.
7.06 OTHER REMEDIES OF THE BOARD: In addition to or in conjunction with the

remedies set forth above, enforcement of any of the provisions contained in this Declaration or
any rules and regulations adopted hereunder the Board may levy a fine or the Board may bring an
action at law or in equity in the name of the Association against any person or persons violating
or attempting to violate any such provision, either to restrain such violation, require performance
thereof, to recover sums due or payable (including fines) or to recover damages, and against the
Lot to enforce any lien created hereunder; and failure by the Association to enforce any provision
shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.
7.07 COSTS AND EXPENSES: All costs and expenses incurred by the Board in
connection with any action, proceedings or self-help in connection with exercise of its rights and
remedies under this Article, including, without limitation, court costs, attorneys' fees and all
other fees and expenses, and all damages, liquidated or otherwise, together with interest thereon
at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law,
whichever is less, until paid, shall be charged to and assessed against the defaulting Owner, and
the Association shall have a lien for all the same, upon his Lot as provided in Section 7.01.
7.08 ENFORCEMENT BY OWNERS: Enforcement of the provisions contained in this

Declaration and the rules and regulations adopted hereunder may be by any proceeding at law or
in equity by any aggrieved Owner against any person or persons violating or attempting to violate
any su~h provisions, either to restrain such violation or to recover damages, and against a Lot to
enforce any lien created hereunder.
7.09 ENFORCEMENT BY MUNICIPALITY: The Village is hereby granted the right,

but shall not be obligated, to enforce covenants and obligations ofthe Association or the Owners
hereunder. Ifthe Association or one or more Owners fail to comply with any covenants and
obligations hereunder, the Municipality shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to give
. notice to the Association or the offending Owner or Owners of its, his or their failure to perform
its, his or their obligations. If such notice is given and the Association or the offending Owner or
Owners do not perform to the satisfaction of the Municipality within thirty (30) days after the
giving of such notice, then the Municipality may (but shall not be obligated to) enter upon the
Premises and perform any and all work which it deems necessary and appropriate, either directly
or through contractors engaged by the Municipality. The Association or the offending Owner or
Owners shall, upon demand, reimburse the Municipality for the reasonable cost of such work and
ifpayment is not made within thirty (30) days after demand, then the amount due shall become a
lien on the property of the offending Owner or Owners or, in the case of the Association, the
prQperty ofthe Association; provided, however, that such lien shall be subordinate to the lien of
any first mortgage on a HQme Recorded prior to the date on which any such cost becomes a lien
against the Home as provided above.
ARTICLE EIGHT

8.01 INDUSTRY/SIGNS: No industry, business, trade, occupation or profession of any

kind shall be conducted, maintained or permitted on any part of the Community Area. Subject to
