ration. As a result, stands of crops are poor and replant-
ilg of the severely eroded spots may be necessary.
This soil is fairly well suited to many of the locally
ro«'n crops, and the areas that have been cleared are
sed for row crops and pasture. About three-fourths of
lie acreage is in forest, and the rest is cultivated or in
astl1re. This soil contains a large amount of exchange-
ble aluminum, which is toxic to some plants. Intensive
ractices that effectively control runoff and erosion are
eeded in the cultivated areas. (Capability unit IIe-3,
,oodland suitability group 11, wildlife suitability
Tollp 1)
White Store clay loam, 2 to 15 percent slopes, severely
roded (WvD3).-This soil is on Piedmont uplands. It has
red to brown clay loam surface layer 3 to 6 inches
flick. The present surface layer is a mixture of the re-
' raining original surface soil and of material from the
ubsoil. The color of the subsoil ranges from dusky red
nd yellowish red to strong brown and olive yellow, with
onion mottles of gray. The subsoil is 9 to 36 inches
' (rick and consists of clay that is very firm when moist
lid ?-ery plastic when wet.
Infiltration is poor. Most of the water from rainfall
uns off the surface.
This soil is too eroded for cultivation, and most of the
creage is in forest. The areas that have been cleared
)could be kept in pasture or permanent hay crops. (Capa-
ility unit Vl=e-2, woodland suitability group 11, wildlife
uitability group 1)
(Vilkes Series
The Wilkes series consists of gently sloping to steep.
' 'ery shallow to moderately deep soils that are well
trained. These soils occupy small areas on side slopes and
ar rounded divides in the Piedmont uplands, where the
lifference in elevation is about 75 feet between the high-
stand the lowest points. They have formed under forest-,
mostly in the northern and western parts of the county,
n material that weathered from mixed acidic and basic
ochs. The water table remains below the solum.
?Natural fertility is medium, and the content of organic
natter is low. The available water capacity is low, and
)ernleability and the shrink-swell potential are moderate.
kept in areas that have received lime, these soils are
lightly acid to medium acid. Response is fairly good if
able applications of lime and fertilizer are made.
In Wake County the Wilkes soils are of only minor
' nrPortance for farming. Most of the acreage is in forest.

The Ap horizon ranges from 3 to 12 inches in thickness,
from yellowish brown or dark grayish brown to dark brown
in color, and from sandy loam to silt loam in texture. The
132t horizon ranges from 2 to 10 inches in thickness, generally
has a clay or clay loam texture, and has varied colors that
range from 5YR to IOYR in hue. The B horizons range from
8 to 36 inches in combined thickness and from sandy loam
to clay loam, mixed with saprolite, in texture. The color of
the B horizons ranges from 5YR to 5Y in hue. These soils
are generally massive. In many places they have clay films
in the cracks. The solum ranges from 12 inches to 40 inches
in thickness. Depth to hard rock ranges from 2 feet to 10
feet or more.
Wilkes soils occur with Louisburg, Wake, and Enon soils.
They have a darker, more brownish color than the Louisburg
and Wake soils and are less acid than those soils. Wilkes
soils have a thinner solum than the Enon soils.
Wilkes soils, 2 to 10 percent slopes (WwQ.-These
soils are on small ridges and side slopes in the uplands.
They have a yellowish-brown or grayish-brown to dark-
brown surface layer of sandy loam to silt loam that is
3 to 12 inches thick and contains clayey spots in many
places. The color of the subsoil ranges from brown or
dark brown to gray and yellowish red. The subsoil is 8
to 36 inches thick. It ranges from sandy loam to clay loam
in texture and from very friable to firm in consistence.
Infiltration is good, and surface runoff is medium to
rapid. The hazard of erosion is very severe. These soils
are somewhat difficult to till, but they can be worked
throughout a fairly wide range of moisture content.
About two-thirds of the acreage is in forest, and the
rest is in pasture or is cultivated. These soils are fairly
well suited to many of the locally grown crops. Intensive
practices that effectively control runoff and erosion are
needed, however, if cultivated crops are grown. (Capa-
bility unit IVe-3, woodland suitability group 12, wildlife
suitability group 4)
Wilkes soils, 10 to 20 percent slopes (WwE).-These
soils are on side slopes that border upland drainageways.
Their surface layer is yellowish-brown or grayish-brown
to dark-brown sandy loam to silt loam and is 3 to 10
inches thick. In many places the surface layer contains
clayey spots. The subsoil ranges from brown or dark
brown to gray or yellowish red in color, from very
friable to firm in consistence, and from sandy loam to
clay loam in texture.
Infiltration is good. Surface runoff is very rapid.
These soils are mainly in forest, but a small acreage is
in pasture. Because of the strong slopes and the bedrock
near the surface in some places, the areas that have been
cleared should be used only for pasture or for permanent
hay crops. (Capability unit VIe-2, woodland suitability
group 12, wildlife suitability group 4)

SOIL SURVEY
Wilkes soils, 20 to 45 percent slopes (WWF).-These
soils are on side slopes bordering major drainageways in
the uplands. They have a surface layer of yellowish-
brown or grayish-brown to dark-brown sandy loam to
silt loam 3 to 8 inches thick. Their subsoil ranges from
brown or dark brown to gray or yellowish red in color,
from very friable to firm in consistence, and from sandy
loam to clay loam in texture.
Infiltration is good. Surface runoff is very, rapid.
Practically all of the acreage is in forest. Because of
the strong slopes and bedrock near the surface, these
soils should be kept in forest. (Capability unit VIIe-1,
woodland suitability group 12, wildlife suitability group
4
Wilkes stony soils, 15 to 25 percent slopes (WxE).-The
soils of this unit are on side slopes that border major
drainageways m the uplands. Their surface layer is
yellowish-brown or grayish-brown to dark-brown stony
sandy loam 6 to 10 inches thick. Large stones occupy
from 1 to 2 percent of the surface. The subsoil ranges
from brown or dark brown to gray or yellowish red in
color, from very friable to firm in consistence, and from
sandy loam to clay loam in texture.
Infiltration is good. Surface runoff is very rapid.
Practically all of the acreage is in forest. Because of
the strong slopes and bedrock near the surface, these soils
should remain in forest. (Capability unit VIIe-1, wood-
land suitability group 12, wildlife suitability group 4)
Worsham Series
The Worsham series consists of nearly level and gently
sloping, deep, poorly drained soils of Piedmont uplands.
These soils occupy small areas throughout the county, at
the heads of draniageways, on foot slopes, and in slight
depressions. They have formed under forest in translo-
cated material and in material that weathered from most
kinds of rocks underlying this area. A seasonally high
water table is approximately at the surface.
Natural fertility and the content of organic matter are
low, and permeability is moderately slow. The available
water capacity is medium, and the shrink-swell potential
is moderate. Except in areas that have received lime,
these soils are strongly acid. Response is fairly good if
suitable applications of lime and fertilizer are made.
The Worsham soils of Wake County are of only minor
importance for farming. Some areas have been cleared
and are used for pasture or waterways, but most of the
acreage is in forest. The areas that have been cleared
and have then been allowed to revert to forest are in
pines or in mixed pines and hardwoods.

4.4. Personal Liability. Each Owner shall be personally liable for the portion of each
' assessment coming due while the Owner of a Lot, and each grantee of an Owner shall be jointly

' Mortgagee taking title through foreclosure proceedings.
4.5. Certificate of Payment. The Association shall, within 10 business days after
' receiving a written request, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting
forth whether the assessments, other charges, and fines on a specified Lot have been paid. A
properly executed certificate shall be binding upon the Association, the Board, and the Owner as
' of the date of issuance. The Board shall have the right to impose a reasonable charge for
providing this certificate.
4.6. Annual Assessments. Annual assessments shall be levied equally on all similarly
situated Lots and shall be paid in such manner and on such dates as may be fixed by the Board.
The Board may allow annual assessments to be paid through periodic payments, and the Board
shall have the right to accelerate any unpaid annual installments in the event an Owner is
delinquent. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, the assessment shall be paid in quarterly
installments.
4.7. Computation of Annual Assessments. The Board shall prepare a proposed budget
covering the estimated costs of operating the Association during the coming year, which may
include a capital contribution or reserve. The Board shall set a date for a meeting of the Owners
to consider ratification of the budget, such meeting to be held not less than 10 nor more than 30
days after the mailing of the notice. The Board shall cause the proposed budget, the assessments,
and a notice of the meeting to consider ratification of the budget, including a statement that the
budget may be ratified without a quorum, to be mailed or delivered to each member at least thirty
30 days prior to the end of the current fiscal year. A quorum need not be present at the meeting.
The budget and the assessment shall become effective unless disapproved at such meeting by the
Owners entitled to cast at least 80% of the votes of the Association. In the event the membership
disapproves the proposed budget, or the Board fails to establish a budget for the succeeding year,
the budget in effect for the then current year shall continue for the succeeding year until changed
by the Board. In the event the Board's budget is disallowed, the Board shall have the right to
make a new budget retroactive to the start of the fiscal year.

)K012407PG01028
4.9. Lien for Assessment. All assessments and charges provided for herein, together
with interest, and late fees, costs and reasonable attorney's fees, shall be a charge on the land and
shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which each such assessment is made when a claim
of lien is filed of record in the Office of the Clerk of Superior Court, Wake County, North
Carolina.
4.10. Personal Obli ation. Each such assessment and charge, together with interest, any
late fees, fines, costs and reasonable attorney's fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the
Owner(s) of such Lot at the time when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for
delinquent assessments shall not pass to successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.
4.11. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessment. Any assessments (or installments) which
are not paid when due shall be delinquent. Any assessment (or installment) which is delinquent
for a period of more than 10 days shall incur a late charge in an amount set by the Board. If the
Assessment is not paid within 30 days, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, the Board
may file a claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court in the county in which the Lot
is located. The lien shall set forth the name and address of the Association, the name of the
Owner of the Lot, a description of the Lot, and cover all assessments then due or which come due
until the lien is canceled of record, and any other amounts provided in this Declaration or
permitted by law. In the event that the assessment remains unpaid after 30 days, the Association
may institute suit to collect such amounts and foreclose its lien. The Association shall have the
right to foreclose its lien by any method allowed by law. The Association shall have the power to
bid on the Lot at any foreclosure sale or to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, or convey the same.
4.12. No Setoff or Deduction. No Owner may waive or otherwise exempt himself from
liability for the assessments provided for in this Declaration. No setoff, diminution, or abatement
of any assessment shall be claimed or allowed by reason of any alleged failure of the Association
to take some action, for inconvenience or discomfort arising from the making of repairs or
improvements which are the responsibility of the Association, or from any action taken by the
Association to comply with any law, ordinance, or with any order or directive of any municipal
or other goven-unental authority. The obligation to pay assessments is a separate and independent
covenant on the part of each Owner and is not subject to setoff.
4.13. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to costs, then to late
charges, then to interest, and then to delinquent assessments.
4.14. Date of Commencement of Assessments. As to each Lot, assessments shall start
on the first day of the month following the sale of the Lot to a Person other than a Builder. The
first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of days then remaining in that
fiscal year.
4.15. Specific Assessment. Pursuant to this Section, the Board shall have the power to
specifically assess as it shall deem appropriate, in its sole discretion. Failure of the Board to
exercise its authority under this Section shall not be grounds for any action against the
Association or the Board of Directors and shall not constitute a waiver of the Board's right to
exercise its authority under this Section in the future. The Board may also specifically assess
7
(Page 9 of 47)
IBKO12407PGO1029
Owners for the following Association expenses (except for expenses incurred for maintenance
' and repair of items which are the Association's maintenance responsibility):
a. Expenses of the Association which benefit less than all of the Lots may be
specifically assessed equitably among all of the Lots which are benefited according to the
benefit received; and
' b. Expenses of the Association which benefit all Lots, but which do not
provide an equal benefit to all Lots, may be assessed equitably among all Lots according
to the benefit received.
4.16. Budget Deficits During Declarant Control. For so long as the Declarant has the
authority to appoint the directors and officers of the Association, Declarant may (but shall not be
' required to):
a. Advance funds to the Association sufficient to satisfy the deficit, if any,
' between the actual operating expenses of the Association and the sum of the annual,
special, and specific assessments collected by the Association in any fiscal year. Such
advances shall, upon request of Declarant, be evidenced by promissory notes from the
' Association in favor of the Declarant. The failure of Declarant to obtain a promissory
note shall not invalidate the debt; or
' b. Cause the Association to borrow such amount, or a general borrowing,
from a third party at the then prevailing rates for such a loan in the local area of the
Community. Declarant, in its sole discretion, may guarantee repayment of such loan, if
required by the lending institution, but no Mortgage secured by the Common Property or
any of the improvements maintained by the Association shall be given in connection with
such loan; or
c. Acquire property for, or provide services to, the Association or the
Common Property. Declarant shall designate the value of the property or the services
provided and such amounts, at the request of the Declarant, shall be evidenced by a
' promissory note. Failure to obtain a promissory note shall not invalidate the obligation
referred to in this Section.
' 4.17. Intentionally Omitted.
4.18. Declarant's Oblip-ations for Assessments. As long as and whenever Declarant
' owns 10% or more of the Lots comprising the Community from time to time, Declarant's
obligation for Assessments on unsold Lots subject to this Declaration will be limited to the
difference between the actual operating costs of the Association and the Assessments levied on
' the existing Members other than Declarant. In no event, however, will Declarant be required to
make a deficiency contribution in any amount greater than the Builder Rate (as defined below) on
Lots owned by Declarant. Whenever Declarant owns less than 10% of the Lots of the
1
age 10 of 47)
X012407PG01030
Community, Declarant shall pay Assessments at the Builder Rate for each Lot owned by
Declarant, and Declarant shall not have any obligation to make a deficiency contribution.
4.19. Builders' Obligations for Assessments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the annual Assessments on Lots owned by Builders who do not intend to live in the
improvements they are constructing or causing to be constructed on such Lots shall accrue
annually at a rate equal to 75% of the rate applicable to Owners (other than Declarant) (such
discounted rate herein called the "Builder Rate") from the date of the Builder's purchase of the
Lot. If recreation facilities as described in Article Thirteen are constructed, then once they are
completed, the annual Assessments to be paid by Builders shall be at the rate applicable to
Owners (other than Declarant) rather than at the Builder Rate.
4.20. Maximum Annual Assessment. Until January 1 of the year immediately
following the conveyance of the first Lot from Declarant, the maximum annual Assessment shall
be $480 per Lot, as applicable. From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the
conveyance of the first Lot from Declarant, then annual Assessment each year shall be no more
than 110% of the previous years' Assessment, unless 2/3 or more of each class of the Members
present or voting by proxy at a duly called meeting vote to increase the annual Assessments for a
given year by more than 10% more than the annual Assessments for the prior year. The Board
may fix the annual Assessments at any amount not greater than the maximum described here or
determined by the duly called meeting as described above. The limitation in the increase in the
annual Assessments herein shall not apply to any change in the maximum amount of the
Assessments undertaken as an incident to: (1) a merger or consolidation in which the
Association is authorized by law to participate; (2) as an incident to any additions to The
Properties or submission of additional property to this Declaration; or (3) in connection with the
addition of recreational facilities pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the maximum annual Assessment figure shall be increased by 10% per year, even
though the actual annual Assessment may be less (i.e., in the year following the conveyance of
the first Lot, the maximum annual Assessment figure shall increase to $528, then $581 the next
year, and so on, even though the actual annual Assessment figure may be less).
4.21. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual
Assessments authorized by this Article IV, the Association may levy:
a) upon the first sale of each and every Lot by Declarant to an Owner, a specific
Assessment in an amount to be determined by Declarant, but not to exceed $750.00, shall be
collected at the closing of such sale for the benefit of the Association. This specific Assessment
shall be a one-time Assessment to be paid by the first Owner of a Lot other than Declarant. In
addition, this specific Assessment shall (i) be in addition to, not in lieu of, the annual
Assessment; (ii) shall not be considered an advance payment of such annual Assessment; and
(iii) shall not be refundable by Declarant or the Association to such Owner.
b) 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 professional or consulting fees, any
construction or reconstruction, unexpected repairs or replacement of any capital improvement

(including, without limiting the generality thereof, any lake, waterway, or pond) located in the
' Community, including the necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided that
any such Assessment shall have the consent of 67% of the votes of the Members who are voting
in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose, written notice of which shall have
' been sent to all Members in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws for such special
meetings.
' c) In addition to the special Assessment approved by the Members, as described in
the preceding subsection b), the Association may levy a special Assessment, in the event of
emergencies in which the Association perceives a threat to persons or to property, without the
' consent of the Members. The amount of such Assessment, however, may not exceed $1,000.00
per Owner.

authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Association shall be entitled to undertake (but is
not obligated to undertake) the management, operation, maintenance, repair, servicing,
replacement and renewal of all streets and roads within the Community and all improvements
thereon; provided, however, following any irrevocable acceptance of the streets and roads for
maintenance as public rights of way by applicable governmental entities, the maintenance
obligations of the Association for the streets and roads shall only be to the extent such activities
are not performed by the applicable governmental entities.
The Association may in its discretion also provide other services as and to the extent the
Association deems appropriate, such as, but not limited to, security services or devices, including
but not limited to operation of the entry guard house and any other security gates, security
personnel and overall traffic control.
The Association may obtain and pay for the services of any person or firm to manage its
affairs to the extent the Board deems advisable, as well as such other person or firm as the Board
determines is necessary or desirable, whether such person or firm is furnished or employed
directly by the Association or by any person or firm with whom it contracts. Without limitation,
the Board may obtain and pay for legal, accounting, engineering or other professional services
necessary or desirable in connection with the Common Properties or the enforcement of this
Declaration, the Association's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, rules or regulations.
The Association may acquire, hold, exchange and dispose of real property and tangible
and intangible personal property, subject to such restrictions as from time to time may be
contained in this Declaration, the Association's Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws.
The Association, from time to time, may adopt, alter, amend, rescind and enforce
reasonable rules and regulations governing use and operation of the Common Properties, which
rules and regulations shall be consistent with the rights and duties established by this Declaration.

determined by a standard of reasonableness for the purpose of protecting the value and
desirability of The Properties.

' The Association may, acting through its Board, contract with other residential
associations or commercial entities, neighborhoods or clubs to provide services or perform
services on behalf of the Association and its Members.
' 5.2. Owner's Responsibility. Except as provided in Section 5.1 above, all
maintenance of the Lot and all structures, parking areas, landscaping, and other improvements
thereon shall be the sole responsibility of the Owner thereof, who shall maintain such Lot in a
' manner consistent with the Community Standard and this Declaration. In the event that the
Board determines that any Owner has failed or refused to discharge properly any of such Owner's
obligations with regard to the maintenance, repair, or replacement of items for which such Owner
' is responsible, the Association may perform such maintenance, repair, or replacement for the
Owner at the expense of the Owner. Except in an emergency situation, the Association shall give
the Owner written notice of the Association's intent to provide such necessary maintenance,
' repair, or replacement. The notice shall set forth with reasonable particularity the maintenance,
repairs, or replacement deemed necessary. The Owner shall have 10 days after receipt of such
notice within which to complete such maintenance, repair, or replacement, or, in the event that
' such maintenance, repair, or replacement is not capable of completion within a 10 day period, to
commence such work which shall be completed within a reasonable time. If any Owner does not
comply with the provisions hereof, the Association may provide any such maintenance, repair, or
' replacement at such Owner's sole cost and expense, and all costs shall be an assessment levied
against the Owner and a lien on such Owner's Lot in accordance with the provisions of Article
IV hereof.
i 5.3. Conveyance of Common Property by Declarant to Association. The Declarant
may convey to the Association any personal property, any improved or unimproved real property,
' leasehold, easement, or other property interest located within or adjacent to the Community.
Such conveyance shall be accepted by the Association, and the property shall thereafter be
Common Property to be maintained by the Association for the benefit of all or a part of its
' members. Declarant shall not be required to make any improvements whatsoever to property to
be conveyed and accepted pursuant to this Section. Declarant in recording any plat of the
Property may identify thereon certain areas of land as "Open Space," "Common Area,"
' "Common Property," or similar designation. Such designated properties, unless otherwise
expressly provided, are expressly not dedicated to the public, but are intended to be conveyed by
Declarant to the Association as Common Property. Declarant, however, reserves the right to
' reconfigure, in accordance with any applicable local governmental ordinances and regulations, all
or any portion of such areas and all or any one or more of the Lots shown on any recorded
subdivision plat at any time prior to the conveyance of such property by recording a revised
' subdivision plat of the property and thereby increase or decrease the area of any "Open Space,"
"Common Area," "Common Property," or similarly designated property and/or increase or
decrease the number or size of the Lots shown thereon. Any "Open Space," "Common Area,"
"Common Property," or similarly designated property conveyed to the Association shall be
conveyed subject to all easements and restrictions then of record, including all easements and
restrictions herein reserved and established, and the recording of a plat showing such areas shall
' not limit the rights of Declarant to further restrict such property and to grant and convey
12
age 14 of 47)
;K012407PG01034
easements on, over or upon such property, prior to its conveyance to the Association, or
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Declaration.
5.4. Storm Water Management. Except for the maintenance responsibilities placed on
Owners by this Section or assumed or undertaken by other Persons (for example, a Sub-
Association), the Association, as a Common Expense, shall: (i) maintain all storrn water
easements (also referred to herein as "storm water drainage easements" or "drainage casements")
in the Property that are shown on plats of the Property recorded in the Registry or established by
written instruments recorded in the Registry, and which either are located on the Common
Property or benefit or serve more than 1 Lot; and (ii) maintain the storm water management
facilities, if any on or serving the Property, which are part of the storm water management system
for the Property as shown on approved Subdivision Plans or other plans approved by the
applicable governmental authorities. Storm water management facilities include ponds, natural
areas and/or planted or landscaped areas into which storm water drains or in which storm water is
collected, and also include drains, pipes and other equipment or apparatus used for handling
storm water drainage. Provided, however, such maintenance obligations shall cease and
terminate, or be reduced, at such time as applicable governmental authorities, through a
department of public works or some other agency or division, elect to maintain, in whole or in
part, the storm water drainage easements and storm water management facilities, or some other
Person is providing the necessary maintenance. Following any such assumption of maintenance
by an applicable governmental authority or other Person, the Association may, without
obligation, continue to provide maintenance to the extent that the applicable governmental
authority or other Person fails to provide adequate maintenance, in the opinion of the Board.
The Owner of any Lot on or over which a storm water drainage easement (or portion
thereof) is located shall be responsible for the following with respect thereto: (i) mowing of grass
with reasonable frequency, where applicable; (ii) removal of debris and other matter to the best
of the Owner's ability, where such debris or matter has impeded or threatens to impede the free
flow of storm water over or through the drainage easement or any storm water management
facilities located therein. Such Owner's responsibility shall include notification of the
Association of any defects in any fencing surrounding or within a storm water drainage easement
or storm water management facility, any debris or other matter which the Owner feels is beyond
the Owner's reasonable ability to remove, and any excessive erosion within a storm water
drainage easement. The Owner of a Lot on which a storm water drainage easement is located
shall not obstruct that easement in any manner. The Owner of a Lot served by a storm water
drainage easement shall keep such Lot clear of all debris and other matter which, if carried by
water flow into or onto the area of the storm water drainage easement, might significantly impede
the free flow of storm water over or through the easement or any storm water drainage facilities
therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Owner of a Lot, and not the
Association, shall be responsible for maintenance of all, storm water drainage facilities and
facilities used exclusively in connection with such Lot or the improvements thereon, including
guttering, and pipes and drains for transportation of storm water from such. Lot into a storm.

management system for the Property.
' Declarant, during the Declarant's Development Period, and thereafter, the Association,
subject to any approval required by applicable governmental authorities, may at any time and
from time to time relocate, abandon, or release one or more storm water drainage casements in
I the Property, provided that such relocation, abandonment or release does not materially adversely
affect any portion of the Property, including the Common Property.
' With respect to its obligations under this Section, the Association shall pay or post all
bonds or other financial requirements under applicable federal, state and local laws and
ordinances, and the Association may enter into agreements with one or more Persons for
' collecting or managing any part or all of the storm water from the Property in a location outside
of the Property. Such agreements may include payments from the Association for the services
provided by such Person in collecting or managing such storm water from the Property.
' Declarant hereby informs all Owners, Occupants and other Persons who may from time to
time deal with or come in contact with the Property, that as storm water drains from the Property
' into any of the storm water management facilities for the Property, it is possible that substances
or materials that may be classified or regulated as "hazardous substances" or "toxic substances"
or other regulated substances or materials under applicable federal, state and local laws and
' ordinances relating to the environment, may accumulate in such storm water management
facilities. Accordingly, each Owner, Recreational User and other Person hereby is put on notice
of the foregoing possibility, and agrees to assume the risk that such accumulation may occur. In
' addition, each Owner further acknowledges that at some future time it may be necessary for such
substances to be removed from the storm water management facilities or otherwise handled in
accordance with applicable federal, state or local laws and ordinance, and for such storm water
' management facilities to be cleaned up following such removal or other handling, that the costs
associated with such removal, handling and/or clean-up are Common Expenses and that an
additional annual assessment or a special assessment may be required to pay for such removal
' and/or resultant clean-up of the Storm Water Retention Facility.

(a) The ARC shall be composed of 3 persons (who need not be Members of
the Association) appointed by the Board. A majority of the ARC may designate a
representative to act for it. In the event of death, resignation, or removal by the Board of
any member of the ARC, the Board shall have full authority to designate a successor.
Unless otherwise approved by the Association, neither the members of the ARC nor its
designated representative shall be entitled to any compensation for services performed
pursuant to this covenant. The Association shall keep, or cause to be kept, a list of the
names and addresses of the persons who form the ARC and a list of the names and
addresses of any designated representatives of the ARC, and such a list shall be available
to any Owner upon request.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to the initial construction of
improvements on any Lot (the "Initial Construction of Improvements"), Declarant shall
serve as the ARC responsible for the review, approval, and monitoring of construction of
improvements. This right of Declarant pursuant to this section shall cease during times
when Declarant does not own any of the property comprising any portion of the
Community. Declarant may at any time relinquish, either temporarily or permanently, its
rights to review, approve and monitor the initial construction of improvements as the
Committee, as hereinabove described.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as along as Class 11 membership exists,
Declarant or its designee shall act as the Committee.
6.2. The Board may employ architects, engineers, or other persons as it deems
necessary to enable the Architectural Review Committee to perform its review. The Architectural
Review Committee may, from time to time, delegate any of its rights or responsibilities
hereunder to I or more duly licensed architects or other qualified Persons, which shall have full
authority to act on behalf of the committee for all matters delegated.
Written design guidelines and procedures may be promulgated for the exercise of this
review, which guidelines may provide for a review fee. During Declarant's Development Period,
the Declarant shall have the right to appoint all members of the Architectural Review Committee.
Upon the expiration or earlier surrender in writing of such right, the Board shall appoint the
members of the Architectural Review Committee.
6.3. If the Architectural Review Committee fails to approve or to disapprove
submitted plans and specifications within 60 days after the plans and specifications have been
submitted to it, approval will not be required, and this Section will be deemed to have been fully
complied with. As a condition of approval under this Section, each Owner, on behalf of such
Owner and such Owner's successors-in-interest, shall assume all responsibilities for
maintenance, repair, replacement, and insurance to and on any change, modification, addition, or
alteration. In the discretion of the Architectural Review Committee, an Owner may be made to
verify such condition of approval by a recordable written instrument acknowledged by such

Owner on behalf of such Owner and such Owner's successors-in-interest. The Architectural
' Review Committee shall be the sole arbiter of such plans and may withhold approval for any
reason, including purely aesthetic considerations, and it shall be entitled to stop any construction
commenced in violation of these restrictions. Any member of the Board or its representatives
' shall have the right, during reasonable hours and after reasonable notice, to enter upon any
property to inspect for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not these Persons shall not be
deemed guilty of trespass by reason of such entry. In addition to any other remedies available to
' the Association, in the event of noncompliance with this Section, the Board may, as provided in
this Declaration, record in the appropriate land records a notice of violation naming the violating
Owner.
6.4. Any approved Plans and specifications shall have neither been reviewed nor
approved for engineering or structural design or quality of materials, and by approving any such
plans and specifications neither the Architectural Review Committee, neither the members
thereof nor the Association assumes liability or responsibility therefor, nor for any defect in any
structure constructed from such plans and specifications. Neither Declarant, the Association, the
Architectural Review Committee, the Board, nor the officers, directors, members, employees,
and agents of any of them shall be liable in damages to anyone submitting plans and
specifications to any of them for approval, or to any owner of property affected by these
restrictions by reason of mistake in judgment, negligence, or nonfeasance arising out of or in
connection with the approval or disapproval or failure to approve or disapprove any such plans or
specifications. Every Person who submits plans or specifications and every Owner agrees that
such Person or Owner will not bring any action or suit against Declarant, the Association, the
Architectural Review Committee, the Board, or the officers, directors, members, employees, and
agents of any board, or the officers, directors, members, employees, and agents of any of them to
recover any damages and hereby releases, remises, quitclaims, and covenants not to sue for all
claims, demands, and causes of action arising out of or in connection with any judgment,

improvement has been approved in writing by the Architectural Review Committee, in its sole
discretion. All plans (which must include the length, width, height, materials, colors, and
location) must be submitted to the Architectural Review Committee for written approval prior to
obtaining building permits or starting construction. The structure must be constructed, installed,
or placed in a location inconspicuous as much as possible from public view. No two-story
structures of this nature are permitted on any Lot within the Community. All materials used in
the construction of such buildings must match the main dwelling located on the Lot.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Declaration to the contrary, no vegetable
gardens, hammocks, statuary, swing sets or similar play equipment, basketball goals or similar
athletic equipment, boats or boating equipment, pools, fences, clothes drying equipment, dog

available for the use of all Owners and Occupants within the Community, without the prior
written consent of the Architecture Review Committee or its designee.
7.30. Restrictions on Leasing. It is contemplated by this Declaration that any dwelling
now or hereafter constructed on a Lot (a "Dwelling") generally is intended for use and occupancy
by the Owner of the Lot. Therefore, no Dwelling shall be leased:
(a) by an Owner who has not previously occupied the Dwelling as the
Owner's primary residence and has no future intent to do so;
' (b) by an Owner who has not regularly Occupied the Dwelling as the Owner's
primary residence and who enters into a lease with a tenant that gives the tenant the
option to purchase the Dwelling during, or at the end of the term of the lease: or
' (c) by an Owner where the primary purpose of the ownership of the Dwelling
is for commercial purposes in that the Dwelling is intended, primarily for lease to tenants
and not for occupancy by the Owner as the Owner's primary residence.
22

SK012407PG01044
Provided however, and notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on leasing of
Dwellings, any model home may be leased to or by Declarant or a Builder.
All permitted leases shall have a minimum term of at least 12 months. All leases shall
require, without limitation, that the tenant acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Declaration,
Bylaws, use restrictions, and rules and regulations of the Association. The lease shall also
obligate the tenant to comply with the foregoing and shall provide that in the event of
noncompliance, the Board, in addition to any other remedies available to it, may evict the tenant
on behalf of the Owner and specifically assess all costs associated therewith against the Owner
and the Owner's Lot in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.
7.31. Sewer Systems. As long as reasonably adequate sanitary sewer service is supplied
to a Lot by applicable governmental authorities, no private sewage system shall be permitted on
that Lot.
7.32. Wetlands. Portions of the Property may have been determined to meet the
requirements for designation as a regulatory wetland. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
that may appear herein or in any other restrictive covenants applicable to such portions of the
Property, any subsequent fill or alteration of any portion of the Property that has been determined
to be a regulatory wetland under applicable laws of the United States or the State of North
Carolina shall conform to the requirements of applicable wetland rules adopted by the United
States or the State of North Carolina and in force at the time of the proposed alteration. The
intent of this Section is to prevent additional wetland fill except as allowed under applicable
federal, state and local laws and ordinances, so the Owner of any such portion of the Property
should not assume that a future application for fill or alteration of a wetland will he approved.
The Owner of any portion of the Property subject to any such future application shall report the
name of the development (in this case, Reynold's Mill), together with the name of the particular
phase, section or subdivision within the Property, if any, in any application pertaining to wetland
rules. The provisions of this Section are intended to ensure continued compliance with wetland
rules adopted by the United States or State of North Carolina and this covenant may be enforced
by the United States or State of North Carolina. The provisions of this Section shall run with the
Property and be binding on all Owners of any part or all of the Property and all persons claiming
under them.
Owners shall have no riparian rights with respect to the waters in any lake or stream
within the Community and shall not be permitted to withdraw water from any lake or stream as
may exist in the Community or as are made available for the use of all Owners and Occupants
within the Community without the prior written consent of the Board or its designee. During
DecIarant's Development Period, Declarant may authorize and grant easements to withdraw
water from such lakes or streams without the consent of the Association.
No docks, piers, or elevated or suspended walkways of any kind, or any other manmade
structure whatsoever, shall be constructed in or out over any lake, pond, waterway, off-property
wetland, other water course, or any other place by any one other than Declarant. To the extent
23
(Page 25 of 47)
IBKO12407PGO1045

that any of such are constructed by Declarant, Declarant may limit the time or nature of the use of
' the same.
ARTICLE Vlll.
' INSURANCE AND CASUALTY LOSSES
8.1. Insurance on Common PrORerty. The Board of Directors or the duly authorized
' agent of the Association shall have the authority to and shall obtain insurance for all insurable
improvements whether or not located on the Common Property which the Association is
obligated to maintain. This insurance shall provide, at a minimum, fire and extended coverage,
including vandalism and malicious mischief, and shall be in an amount sufficient to cover the
full replacement cost of any repair or reconstruction in the event of damage or destruction from
any such hazard. Alternatively, the Board may purchase "all-risk" coverage in like amounts.
' 8.2. Liability Insurance. The Board shall obtain a general commercial liability policy
applicable to the Common Property covering the Association and its members for all damage or
' injury caused by the negligence of the Association or any of its members or agents, and, if
reasonably available, directors' and officers' liability insurance. The public liability policy shall
have a combined single limit of at least $1,000,000. If available, the Board is authorized to
obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage.
8.3. Declarant. The Board is authorized to obtain the insurance coverage required
' hereunder through the Declarant and to reimburse Declarant for the cost thereof. The Board shall
not be required to comply with the provisions of this Section if the Board has contracted for or
otherwise arranged to obtain the required insurance coverage through the Declarant.
' 8.4. Premiums. Premiums for all insurance shall be common expenses of the
Association. The policies may contain a reasonable deductible, and the amount thereof shall not
be subtracted from the face amount of the policy in determining whether the insurance at least
equals the full replacement cost.
' 8.5. Miscellaneous. All such insurance coverage obtained by the Board of Directors
shall be written in the name of the Association, as trustee for the respective benefited parties, as
further identified below. Such insurance shall comply with these provisions:
' a. All policies shall be written with a company authorized to do business in
North Carolina.
' b. Exclusive authority to settle losses under policies obtained by the
Association shall be vested in the Association's Board of Directors; provided, however,
no Mortgagee having an interest in such losses may be prohibited from participating in
' the settlement negotiations, if any, related thereto.
C. In no event shall the insurance coverage obtained and maintained by the
' Association be brought into contribution with insurance purchased by individual Owners,
1 24
ige 26 of 47)
K012407PGO1046
Occupants, or their Mortgagees, and the insurance carried by the Association shall be
primary.
d. All casualty insurance policies shall have an inflation guard endorsement
and an agreed amount endorsement if these are reasonably available and all insurance
policies shall be reviewed annually.
e. The Association's Board of Directors shall be required to make every
reasonable effort to secure insurance policies that will provide for the following:
i. A waiver of subrogation by the insurer as to any claims against the
Association's Board of Directors, its manager, the Owners and their respective
tenants, servants, agents, and guests;
ii. A waiver by the insurer of its rights to repair and reconstruct
instead of paying cash;
iii. That no policy may be canceled, invalidated, or suspended on
account of any one or more individual Owners;
iv. That no policy may be canceled, allowed to lapse or expire,
invalidated, or suspended on account of any defect or the conduct of any director,
officer, or employee of the Association or its duly authorized manager without
prior demand in writing delivered to the Association to cure the defect or to cease
the conduct and the allowance of a reasonable time thereafter within which a cure
may be effected by the Association, its manager, any Owner or Mortgagee;
V. That any "other insurance" clause in any policy exclude individual
Owners' policies from consideration; and
vi. That no policy may be canceled, allowed to lapse or expire, or
substantially modified without at least 30 days prior written notice to the
Association,
f. In addition to the other insurance required by this Section, the Board shall
obtain worker's compensation insurance, if and to the extent necessary to satisfy the
requirements of applicable laws, and a fidelity bond or bonds on directors, officers,
employees, and other persons handling or responsible for the Association's funds, if
reasonably available. If obtained, the amount of fidelity coverage shall be determined in
the 3 months assessments plus reserves on hand. Bonds shall contain a waiver of all
defenses based upon the exclusion of persons serving without compensation and may not
be canceled, allowed to lapse or expire, or substantially modified without at least 30 days
prior written notice to the Association. The Association shall also obtain construction
code endorsements, steam boiler coverage, and flood insurance, if and to the extent
necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,
25
(Page 27 of 47)
IBKO12407PGO1047
1
the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,
' or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
8.6. Individual Insurance. By virtue of taking title to a Lot subject to the terms of this
Declaration, each Owner acknowledges that the Association has no obligation to provide any
insurance for any portion of individual Lots, and each Owner covenants and agrees with all other
Owners and with the Association that each Owner shall carry blanket "all-risk" casualty
' insurance on the Lot and all structures constructed thereon and a liability policy covering damage
or injury occurring on a Lot. The casualty insurance shall cover loss or damage by fire and other
hazards commonly insured under an "all-risk" policy, if reasonably available, including
vandalism and malicious mischief, and shall be in an amount sufficient to cover the full
replacement cost of any repair or reconstruction in the event of damage or destruction from any
such hazard. If "all-risk" coverage is not reasonably available, Owners shall obtain, at a
' minimum, fire and extended coverage. The policies required hereunder shall be in effect at all
times. Authority to adjust losses under policies obtained by an Owner shall be vested in the
Owner. The losses under policies obtained by an Owner shall be vested in the Owner. The
' Association shall have the right, but not the obligation, at the expense of the Owner, to acquire
the insurance required to be maintained by the Owner if the Owner fails to provide a valid policy
to the Association with a prepaid receipt within 10 days after receipt by the Owner of a written
' request from the Association. If the Association acquires insurance on behalf of any Owner, the
cost thereof shall be assessed against the Owner as a specific assessment and shall be a lien on
such Owner's Lot.
8.7. Damage and Destruction -- Insured by Association.
' a. In General. Immediately after damage or destruction by fire or other
casualty to all or any portion of any improvement covered by insurance written in the
name of the Association, the Board or its duly authorized agent shall proceed with the
' filing and adjustment of all claims arising under such insurance and obtain reliable and
detailed estimates of the cost of repair or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed
property. Repair or reconstruction, as used in this Section, means repairing or restoring
' the property to substantially the same condition and location that existed prior to the fire
or other casualty, allowing for any changes or improvements necessitated by changes in
applicable building codes. The Board shall have the enforcement powers specified in this
' Declaration necessary to enforce this provision.
b. Repair and Reconstruction. Any damage or destruction to property
' covered by insurance written in the name of the Association shall be repaired or
reconstructed unless, within 60 days after the casualty, at least 80% of the Total
Association Vote otherwise agree; provided, however, during Declarant's Development
' Period, Declarant must also agree. If for any reason either the amount of the insurance
proceeds to be paid as a result of such damage or destruction, or reliable and detailed
estimates of the cost of repair or reconstruction, or both, are not made available to the
Association within such period, then the period shall be extended until such information
shall be made available; provided, however, such extension shall not exceed 60 days. No
26
age 28 of 47)
;K012407PG01048
Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in the determination of whether damage or
destruction shall be repaired or reconstructed.
C. If the damage or destruction for which the insurance proceeds are paid is
to be repaired or reconstructed and such proceeds are not sufficient to defray the cost
thereof, the Board shall, without the necessity of a vote of the Association's members,
levy a special assessment against all Owners in proportion to the number of Lots owned
by such Owners. Additional assessments may be made in like manner at any time during
or following the completion of any repair or reconstruction. If the funds available from
insurance exceed the costs of repair or reconstruction or if the improvements are not
repaired or reconstructed, such excess shall be deposited to the benefit of the Association.
d. In the event that it is determined by the Association in the manner
described above that the damage or destruction shall not be repaired or reconstructed and
no alternative improvements are authorized, then and in that event the property shall be
restored to its natural state and maintained as an undeveloped portion of the Community
by the Association in a neat and attractive condition.
8.8. Damage and Destruction -- Insured by Owners. The damage or destruction by fire
or other casualty to all or any portion of any improvement on a Lot shall be repaired by the
Owner thereof within 75 days after such damage or destruction or, where repairs cannot be
completed within 75 days, they shall be commenced within such period and shall be completed
within a reasonable time thereafter. Alternatively, the Owner may elect to demolish all
improvements on the Lot and remove all debris therefrom within 75 days after such damage or
destruction. In the event of noncompliance with this provision, the Board shall have all
enforcement powers specified in this Declaration.
ARTICLE IX.
CONDEMNATION
In the event of a taking by eminent domain of any portion of the Common Property on
which improvements have been constructed, then, unless within 60 days after such taking, at
least 75% of the Total Association Vote shall otherwise agree, the Association shall restore or
replace such improvements so taken on the remaining land included in the Common Property to
the extent lands are available therefor. The provisions of this Declaration applicable to Common
Property improvements damage, shall govern replacement or restoration and the actions to be
taken in the event that the improvements are not restored or replaced.
ARTICLE X.
ANNEXATION OF ADDITIONAL PROPERTY
10.1. Unilateral Annexation By Declarant.
27
(Page 29 of 47)
I BK012407PG01049
1
a. The Declarant shall have the unilateral right, privilege, and option from
time to time until 10 years after the recording of this Declaration to subject to the
provisions of this Declaration the following property ("Annexation"):
L All or any portion of the real property described in Exhibit B, if
any;
ii. Any property which is adjacent to any portion of the Property, and
iii. Any tract of land, of which any portion is located within a 5 mile
radius of the property described in Exhibit A.
For the purpose of determining whether property is "adjacent," the rights of way
of public or private roads or utilities, as well as rivers and streams, and the like shall be
deemed not to separate otherwise adjacent property. Annexation may be accomplished by
filing for record, in the county in which the property to be annexed is located, a
Supplementary Declaration describing the property being subjected.
Any such annexation shall be effective upon the filing for record of such
Supplementary Declaration unless otherwise provided therein.
Declarant shall have the right, in connection with the annexation of other
property, to modify the terms of this Declaration as it may apply to the annexed property.
As long as covenants applicable to the real property previously subjected to this
Declaration are not changed and as long as rights of existing Owners are not adversely
affected, the Declarant may unilaterally amend this Declaration to reflect the different
character of any such annexed real property.
b. The rights reserved unto Declarant to subject additional land to the
Declaration shall not impose any obligation upon Declarant to subject any of such
additional land to this Declaration or the jurisdiction of the Association. If such
additional land is not subjected to this Declaration, Declarant's reserved rights shall not
impose any obligation on Declarant to impose any covenants and restrictions similar to
those contained herein upon such additional land nor shall such rights in any manner limit
or restrict the use to which such additional land may be put by Declarant or any
subsequent owner thereof, whether such uses are consistent with the covenants and
restrictions imposed hereby or not.
10.2. Other Annexation. Subject to the consent of the owner(s) thereof and the consent
of the Declarant (during Declarant's Development Period), upon the affirmative vote or written
consent, or any combination thereof, of the Owners of at least 2/3 of the Lots, the Association
may annex real property to the provisions of this Declaration describing the property to be
annexed and filed for recording in the land records of the county in which the Community is
located. A Supplementary Declaration shall be signed by the President of the Association whose
signature shall be attested by the Secretary of the Association, and any such annexation shall be
28
age 30 of 47)
X012407PG01050
effective only upon the filing for record of such Supplementary Declaration, unless a later
effective date is provided therein.
ARTICLE XI.
MORTGAGEE PROVISIONS
The following provisions are for the benefit of holders of first Mortgages on Lots in the
Community. The provisions of this Section apply to both this Declaration and the Bylaws,
notwithstanding any other provisions contained therein.
11.1. Notices of Action. An institutional holder, insurer, or guarantor of a first
Mortgage, who provides a written request to the Association (such request to state the name and
address of such holder, insurer, or guarantor and the legal description of the encumbered Lot,
therefore becoming an "eligible holder"), will be entitled to timely written notice of :
a. Any condemnation loss or any casualty loss which affects a material
portion of the Community or which affects any Lot on which there is a first Mortgage
held, insured, or guaranteed by such eligible holder;
b. Any delinquency in the payment of assessments or charges owed by an
Owner of a Lot subject to the Mortgage of such eligible holder, where such delinquency
has continued for a period of 60 days; provided that, notwithstanding this provision, any
holder of a first Mortgage, upon request, is entitled to written notice from the Association
of any default in the performance by the Owner of the encumbered Lot of any obligation
under the Declaration or Bylaws of the Association which is not cured within 60 days;
and
c. Any lapse, cancellation, or material modification of any insurance policy
maintained by the Association.
11.2. Notice to Association. Upon request, each Owner shall be obligated to furnish to
the Association the name and address of the holder of any Mortgage encumbering such Owner's
Lot.
11.3. Applicability of Section. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to
reduce the percentage vote that must otherwise be obtained under the Declaration, Bylaws, or
North Carolina law for any of the acts set out in this Section.
11.4. Amendments by Boar d. Should the Federal National Mortgage Association, the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, HUD, or VA subsequently delete any of their
respective requirements which necessitate the provisions of this Section or make any such
requirements less stringent, the Board, without approval of the Owners, may cause an
amendment to this Section to be recorded to reflect such changes.
11.5 Subordination of the Lien on an Owner's Property to Mortgages or Deeds of the
Trust. The lien on an Owner's property of the Assessments provided for herein shall be
29
(Page 31 of 47)
IBKO12407PGO1051
absolutely subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter placed
' upon any Lot or Dwelling subject to Assessment. The subordination shall not relieve any Lot or
Dwelling from liability for any Assessments now or hereafter due and payable, but the lien
thereby created shall be secondary and subordinate to any first mortgage or deed of trust as if said
' lien were a second mortgage, irrespective of when such first mortgage or deed of trust was
executed and recorded. The sale or transfer of a Lot or Dwelling shall not affect any lien for
Assessments. However, the sale or transfer of a Lot or Dwelling that is subject to a first
mortgage or first deed of trust, pursuant to a foreclosure thereof or any proceeding in lieu of
foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such Assessments as to the payment thereof
which became due prior to such sale or transfer. The extinguished Assessments shall be
' collectable as a common expense from all Owners in the Community. No such sale or transfer
shall relieve a Lot or Dwelling from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due, or
from the lien thereof, but the liens provided for herein shall continue to be subordinate to the lien
' of any such first mortgage or first deed of trust.
ARTICLE XII.
EASEMENTS
12.1. Easements for Encroachment and Overhang. There shall be reciprocal
' appurtenant easements for encroachment and overhang as between each Lot and such portion or
portions of the Common Property adjacent thereto or as between adjacent Lots due to the
unintentional placement or settling or shifting of the improvements constructed, reconstructed, or
altered thereon (in accordance with the terms of this Declaration) to a distance of not more than 5
feet, as measured from any point on the common boundary between each Lot and the adjacent
portion of the Common Property or as between adjacent Lots, as the case may be, along a line
' perpendicular to such boundary at such point. In no event shall an easement for encroachment
exist if such encroachment occurred due to willful conduct on the part of an Owner, Occupant, or
the Association.
' 12.2. Easements for Use and Enjoyment.
a. Every Owner of a Lot shall have a right and easement of ingress and
egress, use and enjoyment in and to the Common Property which shall be appurtenant to
and shall pass with the title to each Lot, subject to the following provisions:
i. The right of the Association to charge reasonable admission and
other fees for the use of any portion of the Common Property, to limit the number
of guests of Lot Owners and tenants who may use the Common Property, and to
provide for the exclusive use and enjoyment of specific portions thereof at certain
designated times by an Owner, his family, tenants, guests, and invitees;
ii. The right of the Association to suspend the voting rights of a
Owner and the right of an Owner to use the recreational facilities available for use
by the Community, if any, for any period during which any assessment against
such Owner's Lot which is hereby provided for remains unpaid; and, for a
30
ige 32 of 47)
K012407PGO1052
reasonable period of time for an infraction of the Declaration, Bylaws, or rules
and regulations;
iii. The right of the Association to borrow money for the purpose of
improving the Common Property, or any portion thereof, or for construction,
repairing, or improving any facilities located or to be located thereon, and to give
as security for the payment of any such loan a Mortgage conveying all or any
portion of the Common Property; provided that, the lien and encumbrance of any
such Mortgage given by the Association shall be subject and subordinate to any
rights, interests, options, easements, and privileges herein reserved or established
for the benefit of Declarant, or any Lot or Owner, or the holder of any Mortgage,
irrespective of when executed, given by Declarant or any Owner encumbering any
Lot or other property located within the Community. Any such Mortgage on the
Common Property shall be subject to approval by at least 80% of the Total
Association Vote (excluding votes held by the Declarant) and by the Declarant
during Declarant's Development Period. Any provision in this Declaration or in
any such Mortgage given by the Association to the contrary notwithstanding, the
exercise of any rights therein by the holder thereof in the event of a default
thereunder shall not cancel or terminate any rights, easements, or privileges herein
reserved or established for the benefit of Declarant, or any Lot or Owner, or the
holder of any Mortgage, irrespective of when executed, given by Declarant or any
Owner encumbering any Lot or other property located within the Community;
iv. The right of the Association to dedicate or grant licenses, permits,
or easements over, under, and through the Common Property to governmental
entities for public purposes;
V. The right of the Association, acting through the Board without
Member, Mortgagee or agency approvals, to dedicate or transfer non-exclusive
easements on, over and upon all or any part of the Common Property which are
not inconsistent with and do not unreasonably interfere with the intended use of
the Common Property and otherwise for such purposes and subject to such
conditions as may be agreed to by the Association's Board; provided, however, no
such dedication or transfer shall be effective unless an instrument executed on
behalf of the Association by its duly authorized officers, agreeing to such
dedication or transfer, has been recorded in the Register of Deeds for the County

GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1. Enforcement. Each Owner and Occupant shall comply strictly with the Bylaws,
the rules and regulations, and the use restrictions, as they may be lawfully amended or modified
from time to time, and with the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this
Declaration and any such restrictions which may be placed in the deed to such Owner's Lot, if
any. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Declaration and the Bylaws, the
Declaration shall prevail. The Board may impose fines or other sanctions, which shall be
collected as provided herein for the collection of assessments. Failure to comply with this
Declaration, the Bylaws, or the rules and regulations shall be grounds for an action to recover
sums due for damages or injunctive relief, or both, maintainable by the Board of Directors, on
behalf of the Association, or in a proper case, by an aggrieved Owner.
To determine whether a fine or other sanction shall be imposed, a hearing shall be held
before either the Board or an adjudicatory panel appointed by the Board, at the Board's sole
discretion, to determine if any Owner or Occupant should be fined or if Community privileges or
services should be suspended. Any adjudicatory panel appointed by the Board shall be composed
of members of the Association who are neither officers of the Association nor members of the
Board. The Owner charged shall be given notice of the charge, an opportunity to be heard and to
present evidence, and notice of the decision. If either the Board or an adjudicatory panel, as
applicable, decides that a fine should be imposed, a fine not to exceed $100.00 may be imposed
for the violation and without further hearing, for each day more than 5 days after the decision that
the violation continues or recurs . Such fines shall be shall be assessments secured by liens under
North Carolina law. If either the Board or an adjudicatory panel, as applicable, decides that
Community privileges or services should be suspended, the suspension may be continued without
further hearing until the violation or delinquency is cured. The Owner may appeal the decision of
an adjudicatory panel to the full Board by delivering written notice of appeal to the Board within
15 days after the date of the decision. The Board may affirm, vacate, or modify the prior decision
of the adjudicatory panel.
13.2. Self-Help. In addition to any other remedies provided for herein, the Association
or its duly authorized agent shall have the power to enter upon any Lot or any other portion of the
Community to abate or remove, using such force as may be reasonably necessary, any structure,
thing, or condition which violates this Declaration, the Bylaws, the rules and regulations, or the
use restrictions. Unless an emergency situation exists, the Board shall give the violating Lot
Owner 10 days written notice of its intent to exercise self-help. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
vehicles may be towed after reasonable notice. All costs of self-help, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, shall be assessed against the violating Lot Owner and shall be collected as
provided for herein for the collection of assessments.

Association or any Owner, their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns,
perpetually to the extent provided by law. If North Carolina law limits the period during which
1 covenants restricting lands to certain uses may run, any provision of this Declaration affected
thereby shall run with and bind the land so long as permitted by such law, after which time any
such provision shall be automatically extended for successive periods of 10 years.
' The termination of this Declaration shall require the assent of at least 80% of the votes in
the Association, taken at a meeting duly called and held for this purpose, and shall be evidenced
by a termination agreement recorded in the Wake County Registry and otherwise complying with
the terms of North Carolina General Statutes Section 47F-2-118.
13.4. Amendment. This Declaration may be amended unilaterally at any time and from
time to time by Declarant (a) if such amendment is necessary to bring any provision hereof into
compliance with any applicable governmental statute, rule or regulation, or judicial
determination which shall be in conflict therewith; (b) if such amendment is necessary to enable
any title insurance company to issue title insurance coverage with respect to the Lots subject to
this Declaration; (c) if such amendment is required by an institutional or governmental lender or
' purchaser of mortgage loans, including, for example, the Federal National Mortgage Association,
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Veterans Administration, or Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, to enable such lender or purchaser to make or purchase
Mortgage loans on the Lots subject to this Declaration; or (d) if such amendment is necessary to
enable any governmental agency or private insurance company to insure or guarantee Mortgage
Loans on the Lots subject to this Declaration; provided, however, any such amendment shall not
' adversely affect the title to any Owner's Lot unless any such Lot Owner shall consent in writing.
Further, so long as Declarant has the right unilaterally to subject additional property to this
Declaration, Declarant may unilaterally amend this Declaration for any other purpose; provided
' that, any such amendment shall not materially adversely affect the substantive rights of any Lot
Owners hereunder, nor shall it adversely affect title to any Lot without the consent of the affected
Lot Owner.

interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid, but if the application of any provision of
this Declaration to any person or to any property shall be prohibited or held invalid, such
prohibition or invalidity shall not affect any other provision or the application of any provision
which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end, the
provisions of this Declaration are declared to be severable.
13.8. Captions. The captions are inserted only for convenience and are in no way to be
construed as defining, limiting, extending, or otherwise modifying or adding to the particular
Article or Section to which they refer.

reasonably incurred by any officer or director in connection with any action, suit, or other
proceeding to which such officer or director may be a party by reason of being or having been an
