easement deemed not to be so created shall nevertheless be
considered as having been granted directly to the Association for
the purpose of allowing the original party or parties to whom such
easements were originally to be granted the benefit of such
easement.

ments on their behalf as may be required for the purpose of cre-

ARTICLE VIII - Covenant for Maintenance Assessments
Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation
of Assessments. The Declarant, for each Parcel owned by it within
the Properties, hereby covenants and each Owner of any Parcel by
acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so
expressed in any such deed or other conveyance, shall be deemed to
covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1) annual assess-
ments, dues or charges ("Annual Assessments"); and (2) special
assessments to be fixed, established and collected from time to
time as hereinafter provided ("Special Assessments"). The Annual
and Special Assessments (collectively, "Assessments") together
with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof as
hereinafter provided in Section 10 shall be a charge on the Parcel
and shall be a continuing lien upon the Parcel and, together with
such interest thereon and cost of collection thereof as hereinaf-
ter provided, shall also be the personal obligation of the Owner
of the Parcel at the time when the Assessment was incurred.
Section 2. Purpose of Assessments. The Assessments
levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the pur-
pose of promoting the recreation, health, safety and welfare of
the residents in the Properties and in particular for the acquisi-
tion, improvement and maintenance of properties, services and
facilities devoted to this purpose and related to the use and
enjoyment of the Community Properties and of the Parcels and
Residences situated upon the Properties, including, but not lim-
ited to, performance of the Association's functions as set forth
in Article VII; the payment of taxes and insurance thereon and
repair, replacement, and additions thereto and for the cost of
labor, equipment, materials, management, and supervision thereof.
Section 3. Determination of Annual Assessments. The
Board of Directors of the Association shall annually prepare a
budget of estimated expenditures of the Association and determine
the total Annual Assessment for the Properties, allocated to each
subdivision and Parcel thereof. The total allocated Assessments
shall be sufficient to raise the estimated regular expenditures of
the Association and may include a reasonable reserve.
Section 4. Special Assessments. In addition to the
Annual Assessments authorized by Section 2 hereof, the Association
may levy a Special Assessment applicable to that year only, for
the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any
acquisition, construction or reconstruction, unexpected expense or
repair or replacement of a described capital improvement upon the
Community properties, including the necessary fixtures and person-
al property related thereto or to supplement the Annual Assess-
ment.
Section 5. Allocation of Assessments. The total As-
sessments shall be divided by the total number of Parcels within
the Properties and the resulting figure shall be the Assessment
for each Parcel.
Section 6. Special Individual Assessments. The Board
of Directors of the Association may impose a "Special Individual
Assessment" upon any Owner whose use or treatment of his Parcel
increases the maintenance cost to the Association above that which
-6-
would result from compliance by the Owner with the restrictions
imposed by this Declaration. ~'he amount of such Assessment shall
be equal to such cost increase and may be enforced in the manner
provided for any other Assessment. Any charge imposed by the
Association for functions performed for a Parcel or Owner or any
fine imposed shall be deemed a Special Individual Assessment.
Section 7. Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments:
Due Dates. The Annual Assessments provided for herein shall be
due and payable at such periodic intervals as determined by the
Board and shall commence at such time as the Board of Directors of
the Association shall determine. The due date of any amount due
under Sections 4 or 6 hereof shall be fixed in the resolution
authorizing such Assessment. All accounts for payment under this
Article VIII shall be due upon tender and delinquent thirty (30)
days thereafter.
Section 8. Records of Assessments and Payments. Writ-
ten notice of Assessments shall be sent to every Owner subject
thereto. The Association shall, upon demand, at any time, furnish
to any Owner or member liable for Assessments a certificate in
writing signed by an officer of the Association, setting forth
whether said Assessments have been paid. Such certificate shall
be prima facie evidence of payments as to the account.
Section 9. Non-Payment of Assessment: Personal Obliga-
tion of the Owner and Member; Lien Rights and Remedies of the
Association. If an Assessment is not paid by the date when it
becomes delinquent, it shall, together with interest and the cost
of the collection, become a continuing lien on the Parcel which
shall bind such Parcel. The personal obligation of the then Owner
to pay such Assessment, however, shall remain his personal obliga-
tion and shall not pass to his successors personally unless ex-
pressly assumed by them. The Association may record a notice of
lien for delinquent Assessment in the public records and foreclose
the lien in the same manner as a mortgage. Upon recording, the
lien shall secure the amount of delinquency stated therein, all
unpaid assessments thereafter. and all costs of collection in-
cluding attorneys' fees until satisfied of record. The Associa-
tion may record the lien at any time and shall record the lien if
the assessment is ninety (90) days delinquent.
If the Assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days
after the due date, it shalt bear interest from the due date at
the maximum rate allowed by law. The Board may impose a standard
delinquency charge in addition to the interest in an amount not to
exceed $50.00 per month or part thereof. The Board may further
accelerate the remaining assessments due during the budget or
fiscal year. The Association may bring an action at law against
the Owner personally obligated to pay the same or foreclose the
lien against the Owner's Parcel, and there shall be added to the
amount due to the costs of collection including a reasonable
attorneys' fee.
Section 10. Subordination of the Lien to the Mortgage.
The lien of the Assessments provided for herein is subordinate to
the lien of any bona fide first mortgage now or hereafter placed
upon the Parcel subject to the Assessment prior to the recording
in the public records of a notice stating the amount of an unpaid
Assessment attributable to the Parcel; provided, however, that
such subordination shall apply only to the Assessments which have
become due and payable prior to a sale or foreclosure, or any
other proceeding in lieu of foreclosure. Such sale or transfer
shall not relieve such Parcel from liability for any Assessments
thereafter becoming due, nor from the lien of any such subsequent
Assessment.
Section 11. Exempt Property. The following property
subject to this Declaration shall be exempted from the Assessments
and lien created herein; (a) all properties to the extent of any
easement or other interest therein dedicated and accepted by the
local public authority and devoted to public use; and (b) all

ties or by the abandonment of his Parcel.
