If, in any year, Declarant advances funds for maintenance in excess of the Maintenance Assessment, such excess shall be a debt of the Association to Declarant payable only out of any Maintenance Assessments received by the Association, to the extent such receipts are in excess of the Association's current requirements.

(d) Written notice of the Maintenance Assessment to be paid by each Member shall be sent to every Member, but for Lots having more than one Owner, only one Member for such Lot shall be entitled to notice.

7.8.

Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments; Personal Obligation of the Owner; the Lien; Remedies of Association.

(a) If any Assessment or any part thereof is not paid on the date(s) when duc, then the unpaid amount of such Assessment shall become delinquent and shall together with such interest thereon and cost of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, thereupon become a continuing lien on the Lot of the non-paying Owner which shall bind such Lot, and shall be a personal obligation of the Owner of such Lot and his heirs, executors, devisees and personal representatives. The Association shall have the right to reject partial payments of an Assessment and demand the full payment thereof. The personal obligation of the then-existing Owner to pay such Assessment, however, shall remain his personal obligation and shall not be a personal obligation of his successors in title, unless expressly assumed by them. However, the lien for unpaid Assessments shall be unaffected by any sale or assignment of Lot and shall continue in full force and effect.

By accepting a deed or other conveyance to a Lot or Lots, every person or entity acquiring any interest in such Lot or Lots shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed to pay the Assessments provided for herein in the same manner as if the covenant and agreement to pay was expressly set forth in such deed or other conveyance, without regard to whether such covenant and agreement

sessments provided for herein in the same manner as if the covenant and agreement to pay was expressly set forth in such deed or other conveyance, without regard to whether such covenant and agreement shall actually be so expressed in any such deed or other conveyance. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape personal liability for the Assessments provided herein by non-use of the Common Properties or abandonment of his Lot.

(b) The Association may give written notification to the holder(s) of the mortgage on the Lot of the non-paying Owner of such Owner's failure to pay any Assessment when such payment has not been received within ten (10) days after the date such Assessment was due.

(၁) If any Assessment of part thereof is not paid when due, the unpaid amount of such Assessment shall bear interest from the due date at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law, and the Association may, at its election, bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same in order to enforce payment and/or to foreclose the lien against the property subject thereto, and there shall be added to the amount of such unpaid Assessment any and all costs of collection incurred by the Association, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

(d) Without limiting the other remedies available to the Association hereunder, for the purpose of further securing the payment and performance of each Owner's obligations hereunder, by accepting title to a Lot, the Owner thereof shall be deemed to have granted to the Association a contract fien covering such Lot, together with the right to appoint and remove a trustee and any

Page 25

er, by accepting title to a Lot, the Owner thereof shall be deemed to have granted to the Association a contract fien covering such Lot, 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 conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code.

16 2026 - 2026000008984 01/22/2026 01:40 PM Page 25 of 79 (e) In addition to the other remedies available to the Association under this Section 7.8, the Association shall have the authority to exercise all of the remedies contemplated by other sections of this Declaration against Owners that fail to pay Assessments in a timely manner.

7.9. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the Assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien of any bona fide first lien mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter placed upon the Lots; provided, however, that such subordination shall apply only to the Assessments which have become due and payable prior to a foreclosure of such lien pursuant to the terms and conditions of any such mortgage or deed of trust. Such sale shall not relieve such Lots or the purchaser thereof from liability for the amount of any Assessments thereafter becoming due nor from the lien of any such subsequent Assessment. Upon request by an Owner, the Board of Directors shall consider and may, in its sole discretion, approve or disapprove the subordination of the lien of this Declaration to liens other than first lien mortgages or deeds of trust.

Each request for a variance submitted hereunder shall be reviewed separately and apart from other such requests and the granting of a variance to any Owner shall not constitute a waiver of the Committee's right to strictly enforce this Declaration against any other Owner.

8.4. Nonconforming and Unapproved Improvements.
