Section 9 - Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments: Remedies of the Association

A lien shall attach against each Residence Lot for the amount of the annual assessment as of January 1 of each calendar year for that calendar year's assessment. The lien for the first annual assessment shall attach as of the commencement of such assessment as hereinabove provided. Any assessments which are not paid when due shall be delinquent. If the assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the rate of nine percent 9% per annum. In the event of a default or defaults in payment of any assessment and in addition to any other remedies herein or by law provided, the Association may enforce each such obligation as follows:

(a) By suit or suits at law to enforce each such assessment ob1igation. Any judgment rendered in any such action shall include, where permissible under law, a sum for reasonable attorney's fees in such amount that the Court may adjudge against such defaulting Owner. Upon full satisfaction of any such judgment, it shall be the duty of the Association by any authorized officer thereof to execute and deliver to the judgment debtor an appropriate satisfaction thereof.

(b) At any time within ninety (90) days after the delinquency of any assessment, the Association may give a notice to the defaulting Owner, which said notice shall state the date of the delinquency, the amount of the delinquency, and the interest charge for such delinquency, and make a demand for payment thereof. If such delinquency and interest is not paid within ten (10) days after delivery of such notice, the Association may elect to file a claim of lien against the Residence Lot of such delinquent Owner. Such claim of lien shall state (1) the name of the delinquent Owner or reputed Owner. (2) a description of the Residence Lot against which the claim of lien is made, (3) the amount claimed to be due and owing (with any proper offset allowed), (4) that the claim of lien is made by the Association pursuant to the terms of these restrictions (giving the date of execution and the date, book and page reference of the recording hereof in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Alameda), and (5) that a lien is claimed against said described Residence Lot In an amount equal to the amount of the stated delinquency plus interest. Any such claim of lien shall be signed and acknowledged by an authorized officer of the Association. Each delinquency may constitute a separate basis for a claim of lien. Any such claim of lien may be foreclosed

by appropriate action in Court or in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of a mortgage under power of sale. In the event such foreclosure is by action in Court, reasonable attorney's fees shall be allowed to the extent permitted by law. In the event the foreclosure is as in the case of a mortgage under power of sale, any authorized officer of the Association shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the lienor (mortgagee) and shall be entitled to actual expenses and such fees as may be allowed by law or as may be prevailing at the time the sale Is conducted. A certificate of sale shall be executed and acknowledged by any authorized officer of the Association or by the person conducting the sale. A deed upon foreclosure shall be executed In like manner.

No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Area or abandonment of his Residence Lot.

Section 10 - Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages

The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any recorded first mortgage (meaning a mortgage with first priority over other mortgages). Sale or transfer of any Residence Lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Residence Lot which is subject to any recorded first mortgage, pursuant to a decree of foreclosure or trustee sale under such mortgage or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments thereof which become due prior to such sale or transfer. Pursuant to the terms of Section 9 (b) hereof, liens may be created on the interest of the purchasor at such foreclosure sale to secure all assessments, whether regular or special, assessed hereunder to such purchaser as an Owner after the date of such foreclosure sale, which said lien shall have the same effect and be enforced In the same manner as provided herein.

Section 11 - Exempt Property

The following property subject to this Declaration will be exempt from the assessments created herein: (a) all properties dedicated to and accepted by a local public authority; and (b) the Common Area. No land or improvements devoted to dwelling use shall be exempt from said assessments.

All insurance proceeds shall be paid to Alameda First National Bank or any such other bank or trust company as may be designated by amendment hereof, to be held for the benefit of the Owners of the damaged residence or residences and the mortgagees, as their interest shall appear.

(2)

The Board of the Association shall levy a special assessment against the Owners of the Residence Lots upon which the casualty has occurred equal to the difference between the cost of repairing or rebuilding and the amount of available insurance proceeds, which said sums shall be secured by the lien provided for herein and shall be payable into the fund held by the Insurance trustee. The Board may advance the amount of the special assessment to the insurance trustee from Association general funds or reserves if the Board determines that the residence, as so rebuilt and reconstructed, will furnish adequate security for the repayment of said advances by operation of the assessment lien.

(3)

When the amount held by the Insurance trustee is sufficient to pay the costs of repair and reconstruction, the Board, as agent for the Owners, shall thereupon contract for the repair or reconstruction of the residences, paying the cost of such work from the amount held by the insurance trustee, said repair or reconstruction to be for the purpose of returning the residences substantially to their appearance and condition Immediately prior to the casualty.

(4)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Owner of a Residence which has suffered damage may apply to the Board for reconstruction, rebuilding or repair of his Residence In a manner which will provide for an exterior appearance and design different than that which existed prior to the date of the casualty. Application for such approva1 shall be made in writing together with full and complete plans, specifications, working drawings and elevations showing the proposed reconstruction and the end result thereof. The Board shall grant such approval only if the design proposed by the Owner would result In a finished residence in harmony of exterior design with other Residences on the Properties, and the Owner shall have deposited with the insurance trustee any additional monies required to complete reconstruction in such changed manner. Failure of the Board to act within sixty (60) days after receipt of such a request in writing coupled with drawings and plot plans showing the full and complete nature of the proposed change shall constitute approval thereof.

(5)

In any event, the Owner or Owners of any damaged Residence and the Board shall be obligated to proceed with all due diligence hereunder and commence reconstruction within six (6) months after the damage occurs and complete reconstruction within one (1) year after the damage occurs, unless prevented by causes beyond their reasonable control.

(b)

(I)

To rebuild and reconstruct the Residence substantially in accordance with the condition It was in Immediately prior to the casualty; or

(II)

To rebuild and reconstruct the Residence in a different manner subject to the approval of the Board applicable thereto and provided that such changed Residence shall provide for reconstruction and proper support for all party walls upon the Residence Lots; or to

(III)

To provide such support as may be required by reconstruction of any and all party walls damaged by such casualty, to remove from the balance of the Residence Lot all wreckage or remains of the Residence and leave the Lot in a level, clean and landscaped condition.

The election shall be exercised by a written notice given to the Board within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage or destruction (or within thirty (30) days after the amount of Insurance award initially offered becomes known, whichever is the later) which said notice shall plainly state the alternative which has been elected and shall be submitted together with the Items required pursuant to the provisions hereof. In the event that any Owner fails to make an election as required pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Board shall have the power and authority as agent for the Owner, said agency being coupled with an interest, to make the election on the Owner's behalf. Said election shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Owner, his successors and assigns. In accordance with the terms of any such election, the Board shall be entitled to draw upon and make use of the insurance proceeds awarded or paid for the account of said Owner by reason of the casualty as herein provided.

Any Owner who elects the first alternative set forth In paragraph (1) above shall deposit with the insurance trustee cash or security satisfactory to the Board in an amount sufficient to pay the cost of reconstructing his Residence over and above the available insurance proceeds.

(3)

Any Owner who elects the second alternative set forth in paragraph (1) above shall provide with his written election plans, specifications, drawings and elevations sufficient to show the work which he proposes to be performed and the finished product which will result therefrom upon his residence lot. The Board shall approve such proposal only if it finds that the reconstructed and rebuilt residence which would result therefrom is compatible in exterior design with the other residences and structures upon the Properties and provides the structural support required to fulfill the Owner's party wall obligations. Failure of the Board to approve or reject any such proposed change within sixty (60) days after the date of submission thereof shall be conclusively deemed an approval thereof. In the event the Board approves such a proposed change, the Owner, within ten (10) days thereafter, shall deposit with the Insurance trustee cash or security satisfactory to the Board In an amount sufficient to pay the cost of reconstructing the Residence as so changed over and above the available insurance proceeds. In the event the Board denies the proposed change, the Owner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, elect as between alternatives one and three set forth in paragraph (1) above.

(4)

Any Owner who elects the third alternative set forth in paragraph (1) above shall deposit with the insurance trustee cash or security satisfactory to the Board over and above the available insurance proceeds In an amount sufficient to provide the requisite structural support of any party walls In accordance with the Owner's party wall obligations, to demolish any remnants of the damaged Residence upon the Lot and to clear, level and landscape the surface thereof.

(c)

In the event that any Owner does not promptly and diligently perform the obligations on his part to be performed pursuant to the terms of this paragraph and the Board does not diligently proceed to enforce the terms hereof, then any Owner or mortgagee of any Residence Lot within the Properties or any part thereof, or interest therein, may bring an action in equity to enforce the performance of such obligation.

(d)

In any event, if there is a damage or destruction affecting any Residence Lot which is not fully repaired or reconstructed within two (2) years from the date thereof (with extension for delays not the fault of the Owner thereof), then the Board shall be authorized to use any insurance proceeds available by reason of said damage or destruction for the purpose of pursuing the third alternative paragraph (1) above restoring the site to a level, clean and landscaped condition subject only to such structural supports as may be required In connection with the maintenance of any party wall thereon.
