When the meeting is held, regardless of whether or not a quorum is actually present at such meeting, the budget shall be deemed ratified by the Members of the Association unless enough votes are cast at such meeting in favor of rejecting the budget to qualify as a majority of all the votes that could have been cast at such meeting, if all Members had been present in person or by proxy at such meeting. In the event that the Board of Directors shall not approve an estimated annual budget or shall fail to determine new regular assessments for any year, or shall be delayed in doing so, each Owner shall continue to pay the amount of such Owner's regular assessment as last determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regular annual assessment charged to an Owner of a Lot who is a Class B Member shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the regular annual assessment for a Lot owned by a Class A Member whether or not the construction of a Dwelling on the Lot owned by such Class B Member is substantially complete.

Page 23 (e) The Association may, and probably will, serve as a conduit for payment of the Owners' Master Assessments to the Master Association, which include, without limitation, a Community Enhancement Fee (as defined in the Master Declaration). At its sole discretion, the Board may include the Owners' collective obligation for Master Assessments to the Master Association in the Association's annual operating budget to be paid by Regular Assessment, or as

Both annual and special Page 24 assessments shall, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots.

6.8 Reservation, Subordination, and Enforcement of Assessment Lien. Declarant hereby reserves for the benefit of itself and the Association, a continuing contractual lien (the "Assessment Lien”) against each Lot located on the Property to secure payment of (1) the assessments imposed hereunder, and (2) payment of any amounts expended by such Declarant or the Association in performing a defaulting Owner's obligations as provided for hereunder, including, without limitation as provided for in Section 7.2 hereof. THE OBLIGA NON TO PAY ASSESSMENTS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR IN THIS ARTICLE, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST FROM SUCH DUE DATE AT THE DEFAULT INTEREST RATE SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.9 HEREOF, THE CHARGES AND FEES MADE AS AUTHORIZED IN SECTION 6.9 HEREOF, ALL VIOLATION FINES AND THE COSTS OF COLLECTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, IS SECURED BY A CONTINUING CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT LIEN AND CHARGE ON THE LOT COVERED BY SUCH ASSESSMENT, WHICH SHALL BIND SUCH LOT AND THE OWNERS THEREOF AND THEIR HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, DEVISEES, PERSONAL

S SECURED BY A CONTINUING CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT LIEN AND CHARGE ON THE LOT COVERED BY SUCH ASSESSMENT, WHICH SHALL BIND SUCH LOT AND THE OWNERS THEREOF AND THEIR HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, DEVISEES, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND ASSIGNEES. The continuing contractual Assessment Lien shall attach to the Property and Lots developed or to be developed therein as of the date of the recording of this Declaration in the Official Public Records of Collin County, Texas, and such Assessment Lien shall be superior to all other liens except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.8.

Each Owner, by accepting conveyance of a Lot, shall be deemed to have agreed to pay the assessments herein provided for and to the reservation of the Assessment Lien. The Assessment Lien shall be subordinate only to the hens of any valid first lien mortgage or deed of trust encumbering a particular Lot and the Assessment Lien established by the terms of the Master Declaration. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the Assessment Lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to a first mortgage or deed of trust foreclosure (whether by exercise of power of sale or otherwise) on any proceeding in lieu thereof, shall only extinguish the Assessment Lien as to payments which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability and the Assessment Lien for any assessments thereafter becoming due. The Assessment Lien may be non-judicially foreclosed by power of sale in accordance with the provisions of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code (or any successor provision) or may be enforced judicially. Each Owner, by accepting conveyance of a Lot, expressly grants the Association a power of sale in connection with the foreclosure of the Assessment Lien.

The Board is empowered to appoint a trustee, who may be a member of the Board, to exercise the powers of the Association to non-judicially foreclose the Assessments Lien in the manner provided for in Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code (or any successor statute). The Association, through duly authorized agents, shall have the power to bid on the Lot at foreclosure sale and to acquire and hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same. The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 6.8 are subject to the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act, as amended from time to time (Texas Property Code, Section 209.001 et seq.).

6.9 Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments; Remedies of the Association. If any assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days from the due date thereof, in addition to any interest which may accrue thereon as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Association at any time and from time to time, a late charge shall be assessed against the non-paying Owner for each month Page 25 that any assessment remains unpaid as more specifically provided herein, and if placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or if collected through probate or other judicial proceedings, there shall be reimbursed to the Association its reasonable attorneys' fees. Should any assessment provided for herein be payable in installments, the Association may accelerate the entire assessment and demand immediate payment thereof. A late charge shall be assessed against the non-paying Owner for each month that any assessment remains unpaid. The late charge shall be

ate the entire assessment and demand immediate payment thereof. A late charge shall be assessed against the non-paying Owner for each month that any assessment remains unpaid. The late charge shall be in the amount of Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) per month and shall serve to reimburse the Association for administrative expenses and time involved in colecting and processing delinquent assessments. An additional fee of Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) shall be assessed to an owner's account for every check returned for non-sufficient funds.

The Association's Managing Agent shall be entitled to charge an Owner a monthly collection fee of Fifteen and No/100 Dollars ($15.00) to compensate Managing Agent for its efforts in collecting delinquent assessments. The Association, in the Board's discretion, shall have the right to waive any part of or all of such fees and/or interest. The Association may bring an action at law against the Personally Obligated Owner or foreclose the lien against the Lot(s) subject to the unpaid assessments, interest or other charges, and in either event, the Association shall be entitled to recover the unpaid assessment, interest or other charges, the late charge specified above, and any expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Association in prosecuting such foreclosure and/or such collection. Each Owner of any Lot by acceptance of a deed therefore hereby grants to the Association a power of sale with respect to such Owner's Lot in connection with the enforcement of the lien established by this Article VI, together with the right to appoint and remove a trustee and any number of substitute trustees and to cause the trustee or substitute

on with the enforcement of the lien established by this Article VI, together with the right to appoint and remove a trustee and any number of substitute trustees and to cause the trustee or substitute trustee to foreclose the Association's lien against such Lot pursuant to a non-judicial foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as from time to time amended, or its successor provision. However, nothing herein shall prevent the Association from seeking a judicial foreclosure of such lien or any other right or remedy available to the Association with respect to any amounts owed hereunder. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for any assessment provided for herein by non-use of the Common Properties or abandonment of his Lot 6.10 Suspension of Right to Use Common Properties. In addition to the other powers herein granted the Board may suspend the right of an Owner to use any of the Common Properties during the time that such Owner is delinquent in paying any Assessment.

6.11 Working Capital Fund. Every time a Lot is sold to a purchaser who, as a result of such sale will become a Class A Member an additional assessment in an amount equal to the then current regular annual assessment for such Lot (the "Capitalization Fee") shall be collected from the purchaser of such Lot and transferred to the Association to be held as a working capital fund, at the Association's sole discretion. The purpose of said fund is to ensure that the Association will have adequate cash available to meet expenses contemplated herein, as well as unforeseen expenses, and to acquire additional equipment or services deemed necessary or desirable. Amounts

sociation will have adequate cash available to meet expenses contemplated herein, as well as unforeseen expenses, and to acquire additional equipment or services deemed necessary or desirable. Amounts so paid into the working capital fund shall not be considered an advance payment of regular assessments.

6.12 Transfer Fees and Fees for Issuance of Resale Certificates. Pursuant to the terms of Section 5.7 hereof, the Board may enter into a contract with a Managing Agent to oversee the daily Page 26 operation and management of the Association. The Managing Agent may, and probably will, have fees, which will be charged to an Owner for the transfer of a significant estate or fee simple title to a Lot and the issuance of a "Resale Certificate" (herein so called). The Association or its agent shall not be required to issue a Resale Certificate until payment for the cost thereof has been received by the Association or its agent. Transfer fees and fees for the issuance of a Resale Certificate shall in no event exceed the greater of (i) two-thirds (2/3rds) of the current annual rate of Regular Assessment applicable at the time of the transfer/sale, or (ii) Three Hundred SeventyFive and No/100 Dollars ($375.00) for the initial Resale Certificate, and Seventy-Five and No/100 Dollars ($75.00) for any update of a Resale Certificate, for each home being conveyed and are not refundable and may not be regarded as a prepayment of or credit against regular or special assessments, and are in addition to the Capitalization Fee in Section 6.11 above. This Section does not obligate the Board or any third party to levy such fees.

So long as there is a Class C Membership in the Association, the Declarant shall, on an annual basis, elect either to pay Assessments as and when due on its unsold Lots or pay the difference between: (a) the Association's operating expenses otherwise to be funded by Assessments collected in any given calendar year (after applying all income received by the Association from other sources); and (b) the sum of the revenues of the Association from all sources.
