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

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.

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

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)

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

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

alternatives:
(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.
(2)
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.
