(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.

Although all funds, including other assets of the Corporation, and any increments thereto or profits derived 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.

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. (4) Annual and special assessments shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be fixed at a uniform rate 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.

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_ F. Special Assessments Special assessments may be levied against Lots for such reasons as are provided in these Restrictions, the Articles or the Bylaws, and on such terms as provided by the directors and the members.

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 not less than thirty (30) days, nor more than sixty (60) days in advance of the meeting. At the first such meeting called, the presence of members or proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (601/6) of all the votes of each class of membership shall constitute a quorum, if the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirement, and the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at he preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting. G. Lien for Assessments Any general or special assessment, if not paid within thirty (30) days after the date of such assessment is due, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, costs of collection, court costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees shall constitute a lien against the Lot upon which such assessment is levied.

Sedimentation and Erosion Control (1) The Declarant's State approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan does not include approval of land disturbing activities associated with any Lot. (2) Lot Owners or their agents shall comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the erosion control ordinances of the City of New Bern. (3) Lot Owners or their agents shall provide and maintain buffer zones sufficient to restrain visible sedimentation, between the land disturbing activity and any adjacent property, including the street right of way, and watercourse. (4) The Lot Owners or agent of the Lot Owners prior to commencing any land disturbing activities, which shall consist of 6-inch depth of 2-3 inch course aggregate base, shall install a construction exit. (5) New and affected cut and filled slopes must be at an angle that can be retained by vegetative cover, AND must be provided with a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within the shorter of fifteen (15) working or thirty (30) calendar days of the completion of any phase (rough or final) of grading. Rye grass is not an acceptable substitute for the providing of temporary or permanent ground cover. (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 front of Lots, Lot owners or their agents undertaking such activities shall be responsible for damage to roadways and ditch swales, and for installing erosion control devices to prevent accelerated erosion and sedimentation of water sources. These devices, if required by any governmental authority or by Declarant, shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with the then current ordinances and regulations of the 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. 14 llllllll�ll4l�ll�lll��{�fl�1111111�4tlll�ll(�ilill���f �Ilfl Imape ID: GOOM1023023 TVPe: CRP Pape 14 of 18 SK2500 PG483 Book:2500,Page:470 (Page 15 .of 18) O.

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.

R. Open Spaces: Private (1) Every Open Space and any facility thereon is private.

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.
