4.1 Obligation to Pay Assessments. Subject to and except as provided in this Article N, each Owner of any Lot by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it will be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (a) annual assessments as provided in Section 4.3 hereof, (b) special assessments as provided in Section 4.6 hereof, and (c) specific assessments as provided in Section 4.7 hereof.

4.2 Rate of Assessments. Both annual assessments and special assessments shall be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots, regardless of a Lot's location or size or the value of the Dwelling thereon; provided, however, that vacant Lots shall be subject to a lower rate as provided herein.

(a) Improved Lot. A Lot that has thereon a Dwelling that has been occupied at any time (past or current) for residential purposes (an "Improved Lot") shall be assessed at the full rate.

(b) Vacant Lot. A Lot that does not have thereon a Dwelling that has been occupied at any time (past or current) for residential purposes shall be assessed at the rate of50% of the full rate.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Declarant shall never be obligated to pay assessments for any Land owned by Declarant.

4.3 Date of Commencement of Annnal Assessments; Dne Dates. The annual assessments provided for herein shall commence as to all Lots on a date to be determined by the Declarant. The amount of subsequent annual assessments against each Lot shall be fixed by the Board at least thirty (30) days in advance of each assessment period. Written notice of the annual assessment shall be sent to an Owner of every Lot subject thereto. The due dates shall be established by the Board. The Board shall also establish whether the annual assessment shall be paid annually, quarterly or monthly.

4.4 Annual Assessment- Increases. The annual assessment may be increased by the Board, provided that the Board gives written notice of the increase to the Members at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such increase. No vote or other approval shall be required for the increase to be effective, unless the increase is more than ten percent (10%) of the prior annual assessment. If the increase is more than ten percent (10%), then the increase may be disapproved by a sixty-seven percent (67%) or greater vote of the votes of Members entitled to be cast, provided that the vote occurs and the Board receives evidence thereof within sixty (60) days of the date of the increase notice.

4.5 Declarant's Obligation to Pay Budget Deficits.

5

Page 7: Denton County Juli Luke County Clerk ERecordings-RP ... · Juli Luke County Clerk Instrument Number: 56114 ERecordings-RP DECLARATION Number of Pages: 104 " Examined and Charged as

more than an amount equal to the full assessment rate applicable to Improved Lots for the Lots (but not Land) Declarant owns to make up such Budget Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Budget Deficit is the result of the failure or refusal of an Owner or Owners to pay their annual, special or specific assessments, the Association will diligently pursue (and Declarant may also pursue at its option) all available remedies against such defaulting Owners and will promptly reimburse Declarant for any Budget Deficit funded by Declarant from any amounts collected from such Owner or Owners. In no event shall Declarant be obligated to pay any Budget Deficit attributable to the period of time after the Development Period. Furthermore, Declarant's agreement to pay Budget Deficits under this Section 4.5 shall in no way eliminate or diminish Declarant's exemption from all assessments when no Budget Deficit exists.

4.6 Special Assessments. In addition to the annual assessments authorized above, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, a special assessment to cover expenses which the Board determines, in its sole discretion, to more appropriately be handled outside of the regular operating budget, provided that any such special assessment must have an affirmative vote of sixty­seven percent (67%) or greater of all outstanding votes of the Members entitled to be cast.

4.7 Specific Assessments. The Association shall have the power to levy specific assessments against a particular Lot to (a) cover costs incurred in bringing a Lot into compliance with this Declaration, (b) cover costs incurred as a consequence of the conduct (or the failure to act) of the Owner or occupant of a Lot, their agents, contractors, employees, licensees, invitees or guests, and/or (c) collect any ,sums due by the Owner to the Association (other than annual assessments or special assessments or interest or late charges related thereto), including, without limitation, fines.

The Association may establish and maintain a reserve fund for the periodic maintenance, inspection, repair and replacement of improvements to the Common Maintenance Areas.

4.9 Personal Obligation to Pay Assessments. Each assessment provided for herein, together with interest at the Designated Interest Rate, late charges and collection costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot at the time when the assessment arose. Upon a transfer of title to a Lot, the grantee shall be jointly and severally liable for any assessments and other charges due at the time of conveyance. However, no mortgagee under a Recorded first purchase money mortgage or beneficiary of a Recorded first deed of trust (meaning any Recorded mortgage or deed of trust with first priority over other mortgages or deeds of trust), shall be liable for unpaid assessments which accrued prior to the mortgagee's acquisition of title. In addition, no mortgagee shall be required to collect assessments.

4.10 Capitalization of Association - Payment.

(a) Each Owner (other than Declarant or a Builder) of a Lot with a completed Dwelling thereon will pay a contribution to the Association (the "Initial Contribution"), which amount shall be due immediately upon the transfer of title to the Lot. Upon the purchase/resale of a Lot with a completed Dwelling from Declarant or another Builder or an occupying owner, the Initial Contribution initially shall be $350. This fee will be charged each and every time the lot/home is sold (if the Association is in existence). This

6

Page 8: Denton County Juli Luke County Clerk ERecordings-RP ... · Juli Luke County Clerk Instrument Number: 56114 ERecordings-RP DECLARATION Number of Pages: 104 " Examined and Charged as

fee can be adjusted up to ten percent (10%) per year by the Board, at the Board's sole discretion; provided, however, any yearly increase which would exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of the previous year will require approval of sixty-seven percent (67%) or greater of all outstanding votes of the Members entitled to be cast.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the following transfers will not be subject to the requirement to pay the Initial Contribution: (i) foreclosure of a deed of trust lien, tax lien, or the Association's assessment lien; (ii) transfer to, from, or by the Association; or (iii) voluntary transfer by an Owner to one or more co-owners, or to the Owner's spouse, child or parent. In the event of any dispute regarding the application of the Initial Contribution to a particular Owner, the Board's determination regarding application of the exemption will be binding and conclusive without regard to any contrary interpretation of this Section 4.10. The Initial Contribution will be in addition to, not in lieu of, any other assessments or other charges levied in accordance with this Article IV and will not be considered an advance payment of such assessments. The Association will have the power to waive the payment of any Initial Contribution attributable to a Lot by the execution and recordation in the Public Records of a waiver notice executed by a majority of the Board.

4.11 Failure to Pay Assessments; Remedies of the Association. With respect to any assessment or other sum due herein not paid within ten (10) days after the due date, the Association shall have the right to: (a) charge a late fee, in an amount determined by the Board; (b) charge interest on the amount due at the Designated Interest Rate from the due date until the date the sum is paid; (c) charge costs and fees related to the collection of the sum due; and/or (d) exercise any other remedies available to the Association as provided elsewhere in this Declaration. In addition, the Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Maintenance Areas or abandonment of his or her Lot. The failure to pay assessments shall not by the terms of this Declaration constitute a default under an insured mortgage, unless otherwise provided by the terms of such mortgage.

4.12 Lien.

(a) Creation of Lien. The Association shall hereby have a continuing lien against each Lot to secure payment of delinquent assessments (annual assessments, special assessments and specific assessments), as well as interest at the Designated Interest Rate, late charges and costs of collection, including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees, and any other fees or charges that are authorized under or pursuant to this Declaration. Although no further action is required to create or perfect the lien, the Association may, as further evidence and notice of the lien, execute and Record a document setting forth as to any Lot, the amount of delinquent sums due the Association at the time such document is executed and the fact that a lien exists to secure the payment thereof. However, the failure of the Association to execute and Record any such document shall not, to any extent, affect the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of the lien.

(b) Enforcement of Lien - Judicial or Nonjudicial. The lien may be enforced by judicial foreclosure or by nonjudicial foreclosure; provided, however, that prior to any nonjudicial foreclosure, the Association shall first obtain a court order as required under Section 209.0092(a) of the Texas Property Code, as amended, and otherwise comply with

7

Page 9: Denton County Juli Luke County Clerk ERecordings-RP ... · Juli Luke County Clerk Instrument Number: 56114 ERecordings-RP DECLARATION Number of Pages: 104 " Examined and Charged as

any applicable prerequisites or requirements for nonjudicial foreclosure under applicable Jaw, including, without limitation, Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code, as amended. Each Owner by accepting title to a Lot hereby grants to the Association, whether or not it is so expressed in the deed or other instrument conveying such Lot to the Owner, a private power of nonjudicial sale. The Board may appoint, from time to time, any person including an officer, agent, trustee, substitute trustee or attorney, to exercise the Association's lien rights on behalf of the Association, including the power of sale. The appointment must be in writing and may be in the form of a resolution recorded in the minutes of a Board's meeting. A foreclosure must comply with the requirements of applicable Jaw, including, without limitation, Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code, as amended. A nonjudicial foreclosure must be conducted in accordance with the provisions applicable to the exercise of powers of sale as set forth in Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as amended, or in any manner permitted by Jaw. In any foreclosure, the Owner is required to pay the Association's costs and expenses for the proceedings, including reasonable attorneys' fees, subject to applicable provisions of the Bylaws and applicable Jaw, such as Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code, as amended. The Association has the power to bid on the Jot at foreclosure sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage and convey same.

( c) Subordination of Lien. The lien of the assessments provided for herein is subordinate to the lien of any Recorded first purchase money mortgage or deed of trust against a Lot.

( d) Effect of Conveyance. An Owner that conveys title to a Lot shall not be liable for assessments that are attributable to the period after the conveyance of the Lot, except as provided in Section 4.12(e) below. However, a conveyance of title to a Lot shall not affect the assessment lien or relieve the Owner that conveys the Lot from personal liability for any assessments attributable to the period prior to the date of the conveyance, except as provided in Section 4.12(e) below.

( e) Effect of Foreclosure. The foreclosure of a first purchase money mortgage, trustee's sale of a first deed of trust or a deed in lieu thereof will extinguish the lien of such assessment as to payments attributable to the period prior to the foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed in lieu thereof. However, a foreclosure of a first purchase money mortgage, trustee's sale of a first deed of trust or a deed in lieu thereof will not relieve such Lot or Owner thereof from liability for any assessment attributable to the period after the foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed in lieu thereof The foreclosure of a first purchase money mortgage, trustee's sale of a first deed of trust or a deed in lieu thereof shall not release the Owner whose Lot is being foreclosed, sold at a trustee's sale or conveyed pursuant to a deed in lieu from the Owner's obligation to pay assessments attributable to the period prior to the date of such foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed in lieu thereof. For purposes of this Declaration, the use of the term "first" in connection with a mortgage or deed of trust shall refer to the lien priority as compared to other mortgages or deeds of trust.

(e) Levy Specific Assessment. The Association may levy a specific assessment to cover costs incurred by the Association in bringing a Lot into compliance with this Declaration.

(f) Lawsuit; Injunction or Damages. The Association has the right, but not the obligation, to bring a suit at law or in equity to enjoin any violation or to recover monetary damages, or both.

(g) Perform Maintenance. In addition to any other enforcement rights, if an Owner fails to perform properly such Owner's maintenance responsibility with respect to a Lot and/or Dwelling, the Association may record a notice of violation in the Records and/or enter onto the Lot and perform such maintenance responsibilities and assess all costs incurred by the Association against the Lot and the Owner as a specific assessment.

The decision to pursue enforcement action, including the commencement of legal proceedings, in any particular case shall be left to the Association's sole and absolute discretion, except that the Association shall not be arbitrary or capricious in taking enforcement action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Association may determine that, under the circumstances of a particular case: (i) the Association's position is not strong enough to justify taking any or further action; (ii) the covenant, restriction or rule being enforced is, or is likely to be construed as, inconsistent with applicable law; (iii) although a technical violation may exist or may have occurred, it is not of such a material nature as to be objectionable to a reasonable person or to justify expending the Association's resources; or (iv) it is not in the Association's best interests, based upon hardship, expense or other reasonable criteria, to pursue enforcement action. Such a decision shall not be construed as a waiver of the right of the Association to enforce such provision at a later time under other circumstances or preclude the Association from enforcing any other covenant, restriction or rule.

The cost of such services shall be included in the Common Expenses. The "ACA" or "Architectural Control Authority" shall be the following entity:

(a) Declarant - During Development Period. Declarant shall be the ACA during the Development Period, unless Declarant has earlier terminated its rights as the ACA in writing.

(b) Architectural Committee - After the Development Period. The Architectural Committee shall be the ACA after Declarant's right to act as the ACA has either expired or voluntarily been terminated.

6.4 Submission of Plans. Prior to the initiation of construction of any work required to be approved by the ACA as provided in Section 6.1 above, the Owner (excluding Declarant and any Builder designated in writing by Declarant during the Development Period to be exempt from the ACA approval requirements as provided herein) will first submit to the ACA a complete set of plans and specifications for the proposed improvements, including site plans, landscape plans, exterior elevations, specifications of materials and exterior colors, and any other information deemed necessary by the ACA for the performance of its function. In addition, the Owner will submit the identity of the individual(s) or company(ies) intended to perform the work and projected commencement and completion dates.

6.5 Plan Review.

(a) Timing of Review and Response. Upon receipt by the ACA of all of the information required by this Article VI, the ACA will have thirty (30) days in which to review said plans and other documents and materials submitted pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof. No correspondence or request for approval will be deemed to have been received until all requested documents have actually been received by the ACA in form satisfactory to. the ACA.

If the applicable submittal is denied or deemed denied, then the applicant

12

Page 14: Denton County Juli Luke County Clerk ERecordings-RP ... · Juli Luke County Clerk Instrument Number: 56114 ERecordings-RP DECLARATION Number of Pages: 104 " Examined and Charged as

shall be required to re-apply if the applicant still desires to have the ACA consider the request. If the ACA fails to issue its written approval within thirty (30) days after the ACA's receipt of all materials requested by the ACA to complete the submission, then such failure by the ACA to issue its written approval shall be deemed its disapproval of such materials. The ACA may charge a reasonable fee for reviewing requests for approval. It is the responsibility of the Owner seeking approval from the ACA to verify that the ACA has received its request for review and whether approval has been given by the ACA.

(b) Approval Considerations - Aesthetics. The proposed improvements will be approved if, in the sole opinion of the ACA: (i) the improvements will be of an architectural style, quality, color and material that are aesthetically compatible with the improvements within the Property; (ii) the improvements will not violate any term herein or in the ACA Standards; and (iii) the improvements will not have an adverse impact on the Property. Decisions of the ACA may be based on purely aesthetic considerations. The ACA shall have the authority to make final, conclusive and binding determinations on matters of aesthetic judgment and such determination shall not be subject to review so long as the determination is made in good faith and in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Each Owner acknowledges that opinions on aesthetic matters are subjective and opinions may vary as to the desirability and/or attractiveness of particular improvements and as the ACA and its members change over time.

6.6 Timing of Completion of Approved Items. All work approved by the ACA shall be completed within one (1) year after the approval by the ACA or such shorter period that the ACA may specify in the notice of approval, unless the completion is delayed due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Owner, as determined by the ACA. All work and related improvements shall be in compliance with the items approved by the ACA.

6.7 Improvements Impact on Drainage. With respect to any improvements performed on a Lot and/or any alterations to the grade of a yard, the Owner shall take proper precautions to insure that such improvements do not cause the surface water drainage on the Lot to (a) drain onto an adjoining Lot in an amount more than the drainage amount prior to the improvement or alteration, or (b) collect near the foundation of the Dwelling. Although the ACA may comment on and/or deny the approval of plans because of the impact of the proposed improvements or alterations on surface water drainage, the ACA's comments or approval shall not constitute or be construed as a representation, warranty or guaranty that adverse surface water drainage problems will not occur and shall not be relied upon as such. The Owner is responsible for taking the necessary actions in order to avoid any surface water drainage problems, including, without limitation, engaging the services of a qualified consultant.

6.8 No Waiver. The approval by the ACA of any plans, drawings or specifications for any work done or proposed, or for any other matter requiring the approval of the ACA under this Declaration, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any right to withhold approval of any similar plan, drawing specification or matter subsequently submitted for approval.

6.9 Variances. The ACA may authorize variances from strict compliance with the requirements herein, in any ACA Standards or any required procedures: (a) in narrow circumstances where the design meets the intent of the provision from which variance is sought and where granting the variance would enhance design innovation and excellence; or (b) when circumstances such as topography, natural obstructions, hardship, or aesthetic or environmental

13

Page 15: Denton County Juli Luke County Clerk ERecordings-RP ... · Juli Luke County Clerk Instrument Number: 56114 ERecordings-RP DECLARATION Number of Pages: 104 " Examined and Charged as

considerations so require. For purposes of this Section 6.9, the inability to obtain approval of any governmental agency, the issuance of any permit or the tenns of any financing as the sole or primary reason for requesting a variance shall not be considered a hardship warranting a variance. No variance shall be contrary to the tenns of this Declaration and no variance shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall a variance in one instance estop the ACA from denying a variance in other circumstances.

6.10 Architectural Control Authority Standards. The ACA may, from time to time and in its sole and absolute discretion, adopt, amend and repeal, by unanimous vote or written consent, ACA Standards. The ACA Standards may not conflict with the tenns of this Declaration. In this regard, any conflict between any ACA Standards and the tenns of this Declaration shall be controlled by the tenns of this Declaration.

6.11 Enforcement; Non-Conforming and Unapproved Improvements. If there are any significant or material deviations from the approved plans in the completed improvements, as determined by the ACA, in its sole and absolute discretion, such improvements will be in violation of this Article VI to the same extent as if made without prior approval of the ACA. In addition to the Association's rights in Section 5.9 hereof, the Association or any Owner may maintain an action at law or in equity for the removal or correction of (a) the non-confonning improvement or alteration, and/or (b) any improvement or alternation to any improvement on any Lot that is not approved by the ACA.

including, but not limited to, fees for resale certificates, estoppel certificates, copies of this Declaration, the Bylaws and/or the Certificate, compliance inspections, ownership record changes and priority processing, provided the fees are customary in amount, kind and number for the local marketplace. Transfer-related fees are not refundable and may not be regarded as a prepayment of or credit against regular or special assessments. Transfer-related fees do not apply to the following transfers unless a party to the transfer requests the corresponding documentation: foreclosure of a deed of trust lien, tax lien or the Association's assessment lien; transfer to, from or by the Association; or voluntary transfer by an owner to one or more co-owners, or to the owner's spouse, child or parent. Transfer-related fees may be charged by the Association or by the Association's managing agent, provided there is no duplication of fees. Transfer-related fees charged by or paid to a managing agent must have the prior written approval of the Association, are not subject to the Association's assessment lien, and are not payable by the Association. This Section 12.5 does not obligate the Board or the manager to levy transfer-related fees.

12.6 Limitation on Interest. All agreements between any Owner and the Association and/or Declarant are expressly limited so that the amount of interest charged, collected or received on account of such agreement shall never exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If, under any circumstances, fulfillment of any provision of this Declaration or of any other document requires exceeding the lawful maximum interest rates, then, ipso facto, the obligation shall be reduced to comply with such lawful limits. If an amount received by the Association and/or Declarant should be deemed to be excessive interest, then the amount of such excess shall be applied to reduce the unpaid principal and not to the payment of interest. If such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance due to the Association and/ or Declarant, then such excess shall be refunded to Owner.

12.7 Construction 11,nd Interpretation. This Declaration shall be liberally construed and interpreted to give effect to its purposes and intent, except as otherwise required by law.

12.8 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws or this Declaration, all notices, demands, bills, statements and other communications under this Declaration shall be in writing and shall be given personally or by mail. Notices that are mailed shall be deemed to have been duly given three (3) days after deposit, unless such mail service can prove receipt at an earlier date. Owners shall maintain one mailing address for a Lot, which address shall be used by the Association for mailing of notices, statements and demands. If an Owner fails to maintain a current mailing address for a Lot with the Association, then the address of that Owner's Lot is deemed to be such Owner's mailing address." If a Lot is owned by more than one person or entity, then notice to one co-owner is deemed notice to all co-owners. Attendance by a Member at any meeting shall constitute waiver of notice by the Member of the time, place and purpose of the meeting. Written waiver of notice of a meeting, either before or after a meeting, of the Members shall be deemed the equivalent of proper notice

12.9 Not a Condominium. This document does not and is not intended to create a condominium within the meaning of the Texas Uniform Condominium Act, Tex. Prop. Code Ann., Section 82.001, et seq.

12.10 Severability. Invalidation of any one of these covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions by judgment or court order will in no manner affect any other provisions which will remain, in full force and effect.
