Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the DEVELOPER shall provide in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity acceptable to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit. 9.
