1. annual assessments or charges and

2. special assessments for capital improvements.

The annual and special assessments, together with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof, as hereinafter provided, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the property against which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with such interest, costs and reasonable attorney's fees shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such property at the time when the assessment fell due and shall not pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.

Section 2 - Purpose of Assessments

The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting the recreation, health, safety, and welfare of the residents in The Properties and in particular for the improvement and maintenance of The Properties, services and facilities devoted to this purpose and related to the use and enjoyment of the Common Area, and of the homes situated upon The Properties.

Section 3 - Basis and Maximum of Annual Assessments

Effective January 1 of 2022 the annual assessment shall be Two Thousand One Hundred And No/100 Dollars ($2100.00) per Lot.

1. From and after January 1 2022, the maximum annual assessment may be increased effective January 1 of each year without a vote of the membership in conformance with the rise, if any, of the Consumer Price Index (published by the Department of Labor, Washington, D. C.) for the preceding month of July.

2. From and after January 1 of 2022, the maximum annual assessment may be increased above that established by the Consumer Price Index Formula by a vote of the Members for the next succeeding year, provided that any such change shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of each class of Members who are voting in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for this purpose, written notice of which shall be sent to all Members not less than ten (10) days nor more than fifty (50) days in advance of the meeting setting forth the purpose of the meeting.

3. After consideration of current maintenance costs and future needs of the Association, the Board of Directors may fix the annual Assessment at an amount not in excess of the maximum.

Section 4 - Method of Computation When Using the Consumer Price Index

The Consumer Price Index establishes the United States City Average numerical rating for the month of July, 2022. This will be the base rating. To determine the percentage to be applied to the maximum annual assessment for each subsequent year, divide this base rating into the numerical rating established by the Consumer Price Index for the month of July preceding the proposed assessment year. This adjustment percentage, if in excess of 100 percentum, is multiplied by the original maximum annual assessment to obtain the maximum assessment for the subsequent year.

Section 5 - Special Assessments for Capital Improvements

In addition to the annual assessments authorized above, the Association may levy in any assessment year, a special assessment applicable to that year only, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction or reconstruction, unexpected repair or replacement of a described capital improvement upon the Common Area, including the necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided that any such assessment shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of each class of Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose, written notice of which shall be sent to all Members not less than ten (10) days nor more than fifty (50) days in advance of the meeting, setting forth the purpose of the meeting.

At the first meeting called, as provided in Article XII Section 3 and Article XII Section 5 hereof, the presence at the meeting of Members or of proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes of each class of membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not forthcoming at any meeting, another meeting may be called, subject to the notice requirement set forth in Section 3 and Section 5, and the required quorum at any such subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum of the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.

Section 8 - Date of Commencement Of Annual Assessments: Due Dates

The annual assessment provided for herein shall commence as to all Lots upon the first day of the month following the conveyance of record of the Common Area within the said Subdivision. The first annual assessment shall be adjusted to the number of months remaining in the calendar year. The Board of Directors shall fix the amount of the annual assessment against each Lot at least thirty (30) days in advance of each annual assessment period. Written notice of the annual assessment shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto. The due dates shall be established by the Board of Directors. The Association shall upon demand at any time furnish a certificate in writing, signed by an officer of the Association, setting forth whether the assessments on the specified Lot have been paid. A reasonable charge may be made by the Board for the issuance of these certificates. Such certificates shall be conclusive evidence of payment of any assessment therein stated to have been paid.

Section 9 - Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments: Remedies of the Association

1. Any assessments which are not paid when due shall be delinquent. A "Late Charge" of TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) for each payment towards assessment not received within THIRTY (30) DAYS of the due date shall be added to the payment of assessment that is past due. There shall be only one "Late Charge" on any delinquent payment. At the time the delinquent amount including "Late Charge", reaches THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($300.00); the account will be charged a rate of interest equal to the Prime Interest Rate at Bank of America, or its successor, plus Five Percent (5%) per annum. After Notice as hereinafter set forth under (2), the Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same or foreclose the lien against the property and "Late Charges", costs, and reasonable attorney's fees of any such action shall be added to the amount of such assessment. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessment provided for herein by non-use of the Common Area or abandonment of his Lot.

2. After the Unit Owner has become thirty (30) days delinquent on any monthly assessment he is to receive a "Late Notice". The same happens on any two (2) monthly assessments that are delinquent. When a Unit Owner has become delinquent on any three (3) consecutive monthly assessments, a copy of the "Late Notice" will be sent to the President of the Association and the "Late Notice" is to be sent Certified Return Receipt. Once a Unit Owner has become delinquent on any four (4) monthly assessments, the account is automatically turned over to an attorney for collection.

Section 10 - Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages

The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the liens of any mortgage or mortgages. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot which is subject to any mortgage, pursuant to a decree of foreclosure under such mortgage or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments thereof which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.

Section 11 - Exempt Property

The following property subject to the Declaration shall be exempt from the assessments created therein:

1. all properties dedicated to and accepted by a local public authority,

2. the "Common Area", and,
