(b) From and alter December 31, 2007, the annual general assessment may be increased by an
amount greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the assessment for the previous year provided the proposed
increase is approved by a vote of two-thirds (213) of each class of members who are voting in person or by a
proxy, at a meeting duly called for this purpose.
(c) The Board of Directors may fix the annual general assessments which come due after December
31, 2007, at an amount not in excess of the ceiling established herein.
(d) Once the annual general assessment has been set, notice of the annual general assessment shall
be given to all Lot Owners. It is provided, however, that no Owner is relieved from the obligation to pay the
assessment because of failure to give such notice. After the initial notice of the assessment, no bills for such
assessment will be forwarded to any Owner but such assessment thereafter shall become due and payable as
provided by the Board of Directors.
(e) As provided in the Bylaws and subject to the restrictions and limitations provided herein, the
Board of Directors shall establish an Annual Budget in advance for each fiscal year. Such budget shall project
all expenses for the forthcoming fiscal year which may be required for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of the Corporation and the Open Spaces, including a reasonable allowance for contingencies and
reserves. The budget shall take into account any projected or anticipated income. The Board of Directors shall
keep separate, in accordance with paragraph (f) hereof, items relating to the daily operation, management and
maintenance of the Corporation and Open Spaces from items relating to capital improvements. Upon adoption
of such Annual budget by the Board of Directors, copies of said Budget shall be delivered to each Owner and
the assessment for said year shall be established, subject to the restrictions and limitations provided herein,
based upon such budget; however, the non -delivery of a copy of said Budget to each Owner shall not affect the
liability of any Owner for such asses-sment. The annual Budget shall be divided by the number of Lots subject
to the annual general assessments at the time of the annual meeting of the members and the quotient shall be the
annual general assessment per Lot for the succeeding fiscal year. In determining the number of Lots subject to
the annual general assessments, any Lot which is owned by a Class B member shall only be considered one-
fourth (1/4) of a Lot.
(f) The Board of Directors, in establishing the Annual Budget for operation, management and
maintenance of the Corporation and Open Spaces, shall designate therein a sum to be collected and maintained
as a reserve fund for the periodic maintenance, repair and replacement of capital investments to the Open
Spaces, which capital improvement and replacement fund (Capital Improvement Fund) shall be for the purpose
of enabling the Corporation to maintain, repair or replace structural elements and mechanical equipment
constituting a part of the Open Spaces, as well as tree planting and removal and the replacement of personal
property which may constitute a portion of the Open Space as held for the joint use and benefit of the Owners.
The amount to be allocated to the Capital Improvement Fund may be established by said Board of Directors so
as to collect and maintain a sum reasonably necessary to anticipate the need for repair, maintenance and
replacement of capital improvements to the Open Spaces. The amount collected for the Capital Improvement
Fund shall be maintained in a separate account by the Corporation and such monies shall be used only for
periodic maintenance, repair and replacement of Capital Improvements the Open Spaces. The Capital
Improvement Fund shall be maintained out of the annual general assessments. Any interest earned on monies in
the Capital Improvement Fund may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, be expended for the daily
operation, management and maintenance of the Corporation and Open Spaces.

Corporation and such monies may be applied by the Corporation to the payment of any expense of operating
and managing the Corporation, or the proper undertaking of all acts and duties imposed upon it by virtue of this
Declaration, the Articles and the Bylaws, except that monies placed in the Capital Improvement Fund shall be
used only for the specified purposes of said fund. As monies for any assessment are paid into the Corporation
by any Owner, the same may be commingled with monies paid to the Corporation by the other Owners.

therefrom or from the leasing or use of Open Spaces, shall be held for the benefit of the members of the
Corporation, no member of the Corporation shall have the right of assign, hypothecate, pledge or in any manner
transfer his membership interest therein, except as an appurtenance to his Lot. When the Owner of a Lot shall
cease to be a member of the Corporation by reason of his divestment of ownership of such Lot, by whatever
means, the Corporation shall not be required to account to such Owner for any share of the fund or assets of the
Corporation, including any monies which Owner may have paid to the Corporation, as all monies which any
Owner has paid to the Corporation shall be and constitute an asset of the Corporation which may be used in the
operation and management of the Corporation.

(2)(b) shall be sent to all members not less than thirty (30) days, nor more than sixty (60) days in advance of the
meeting. At first such meeting called, the presence of members or of proxies entitled to cast fifty percent
(50%) of all votes of each class membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present,
another meeting may be called subject to the'same notice requirements, and the required quorum at the
subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such
subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.

for all Lots. However, for so long as there is a Class B member of the Corporation, the Lots owned by the Class
B member shall be liable for and the Class B member shall pay on each Lot as an annual general assessment
only twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the annual general assessment then being levied by the
Corporation on each Lot. This reduction in the amount of the annual general assessments due on Lots owned by
the Class B member shall terminate as to a particular Lot upon the Lot being conveyed by the Class B member
by deed, lease or rental agreement (excluding mortgage or deed of trust) to any person other than Declarant;
further, this reduction in the amount of annual general assessments due by the Class B member shall cease upon
the termination of Class B membership as herein provided.

Declaration in the office of the Register of Deeds of Craven County. The annual general assessments shall be
payable annually on or before January I of each year. The payment of any assessment or installment thereof
shall be in default if such assessment or installment is not received by the Corporation by January 3Is' of each
year. When in default, the delinquent assessment shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum

officer of the Corporation setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid. A properly
executed certificate of the Corporation as to the status of assessments on a Lot is binding upon the Corporation
as of the date of its issuance.
(8) The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage.
Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant
to foreclosure of a first mortgage or any proceeding in the lien therefore, shall extinguish the lien of such
assessments as to payments which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve
such Lot from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof_

proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose, the Corporation may levy and impose special assessments. A
special assessment shall not exceed 100% of the then current assessment of each lot. The purposes for which
special assessments may be levied include, but are not limited to, providing funds to pay Community Expenses
which exceed the general assessment fund on hand to pay same (specifically including the cost of any
construction, reconstruction or repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Open Spaces, including
fixtures and personal property related thereto) and providing a contingency fund for capital improvements and
extraordinary expenses. Furthermore, special assessments may be assessed against specific Lots. Special
Assessments, together with interest, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a charge and lien on the land
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8 of Article E, and shall be a continuing lien upon the property
against which each such assessment is made. Furthermore, each such assessment, together with interest, costs,
and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be the personal obligation of the person who was the owner of the Lot at
the time when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for delinquent special assessments snail not pass
to a successor in title to a Lot unless expressly assumed by them but, subject to the provisions of this
Declaration, delinquent assessments shall continue to be lien upon such Lot. Written notice of any meeting of
the members called for the purpose of levying and imposing special assessments shall be sent to all members

membership shall constitute a quorum, if the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called

component of the stormwater system. Lots that will naturally drain into the system are not required to provide
these additional measures.

AND must be provided with a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within the shorter of fifteen (15)

(6) The Lot Owners or agent of the Lot Owners within the shorter of fifteen (15) working days or thirty
(30) calendar days after completion of construction must provide a permanent ground cover, sufficient to
restrain erosion.
(7) During construction of driveways or land -disturbing activities on building Lots or street right of ways in

governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof. No construction debris shall be placed or dumped on any
street right of way. Any ground cover or drainage system located within rights of way, ditches, or slopes of
streets which are disturbed during construction activity shall be re-established by the Lot owner responsible for
such activity.

No provisions contained in these Restrictions, the Articles or the Bylaws, shall be deemed to have been
waived, abandoned, or abrogated by reason of failure to enforce them on the part of any person as to the same
or similar future violation, no matter how often the failure to enforce is repeated.
P. Variances
The Committee, in its discretion, may allow reasonable variances and adjustments of these Restrictions
in order to alleviate the practical difficulties and hardships in their enforcement and operation. Any such
variances shall not violate the spirit of the intent of this document to create a Subdivision of Lots owned in fee
by various persons with each such Owner having an easement upon areas owned by the Corporation. No
variance or adjustment will be permitted if such would be materially detrimental or injurious to the welfare of
the property and improvements in the Subdivision as determined by the Committee.
To be effective, a variance hereunder shall be recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds of Craven
County; shall be executed on behalf of the Committee; and, shall refer specifically to this Declaration.

December 31, 2026. After that date, these Declarations and Restrictions may be amended in full or in part prior
only by an instrument signed by not less than two-thirds (213) of each class of members. No amendments shall
alter any obligation to pay ad valorem taxes on the Open Spaces or assessments for street lighting as herein
provided, or affect any lien for the payment of same. Further, no such amendment shall affect the rights of
Declarant unless such party executes the amendments.
(2) Invalidations of any one of these covenants or Restrictions by judgment or court order shall in no way
affect any other provisions which shall remain in full force and effect.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this document, Declarant may amend this instrument without the
joinder or consent of any other person or entity if such amendment is required by any governmental agency for
governmental approval.
R. Open Spaces: Private
(1) Every Open Space and any facility thereon is private. Neither the Declarant's execution nor recording
of the plat nor any other act of the Declarant with respect to the property is or is intended to be or shall be
construed as a dedication to the public of any of said parks, recreational facilities or amenities other than as
reflected herein. An easement for the use and enjoyment of each of the areas designated as Open Spaces is
reserved by the Declarant, its successors and assigns, for the benefit and use of their remaining property as
described above and an easement for the use of such areas may be granted to the owners of such remaining
property.

rights and easements reserved herein, and drainage and utility easements and mineral reservations as established
in the chain of title.
S. Remedies
Enforcement of these restrictions and conditions shall be by proceeding at law or in equity against any
person or persons violating or attempting to violate any covenant or condition, either to restrain violation
thereof or to recover damages thereof. Injunction shall not issue to compel the removal of or moving of any
completed residence for violation of side setback or front setback restrictions, the sole remedy of any offended
person being a suit for damages.

Subdivisions. No other property is restricted.
U. Captions

severally liable for the obligations herein imposed. Throughout this Declaration, references to the masculine
shall be deemed to include the feminine, the feminine to include the masculine, and the neuter to include the

V. Notice
All notices provided for or permitted pursuant to these Restrictions shall be in writing and, except as is
herein expressly otherwise provided, notice shall be deemed sufficient and service thereof completed upon hand
delivery or receipt, refusal, or non -delivery of same when mailed, postage prepaid, to the party to or upon whom
notice is being given or served at the address of such party last reflected on the records of the Corporation.
W. Liberal Construction
The provisions of this Declaration shall be construed liberally to effectuate its purpose of creating a
Subdivision of fee simple ownership of Lots and buildings governed and controlled by rules, regulations,
restrictions, covenants, conditions, reservations, and easements administered by an Owners' association with
each Owner entitled to and burdened with the rights and easements equivalent to those of other owners. In the
case of conflict between this Declaration, the Articles, or Bylaws, this Declaration shall control the Articles and
the Bylaws, and the Articles shall control the Bylaws. IIIu1111MMlNI{1IMII{�f�1H16111�f�I�Illl�{IIII
