assessment a certificate in writing signed by an officer of the Association, setting forth
whether said assessment has been paid. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of
payment of any assessment therein stated to have been paid.
5.10 Effect of Nonpayment of Assessment: Personal Obligation of the Owner- Liens:

dates specified in Section 5.8 of this Article V), then such assessment shall become
delinquent and shall, together with interest thereon and at the rate of twelve percent (12%)
per annum, and all costs of collection thereof including the Association's actual reasonable
attorneys fees, thereupon become a continuing lien on the property which shall bind such
property in the hands of the then Owner, his heirs, devisees, personal representatives and
assigns. The personal obligations of the then Owner to pay such assessment, however, shall
remain his personal obligation for the statutory period and shall not pass to his successors
in title unless expressly assumed by them.
If any assessment, or installment thereof, levied against a Lot or Living Unit remains
unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days or longer, it shall constitute a lien against that Lot
or Living Unit when filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of Carteret
County in the manner provided therefor by Article 8 of Chapter 44 of the General Statutes
of North Carolina. The Association's lien may be foreclosed in like manner as a mortgage
on real estate under power of sale under Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the General Statutes
BOOK 'I 11
10
of North Carolina with the President of the Association deemed to hold the power of sale.
Fees, charges, late charges, fines, interest and collection costs including attorneys fees
charged pursuant to this Declaration are enforceable as assessments.

because of unpaid assessments, the owner of Lot or Living Unit shall be required to pay a
reasonable rent for the use of the same during the period of redemption from such
foreclosure, and the Association shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect
the same.
In addition to the foregoing, and without waiving its lien, the Association may sue to
obtain a money judgment for the amount of any delinquent assessment or installment
thereof, together with interest, and the member so sued and liable for such assessment shall
pay all costs of collection, including the Association's actual reasonable attorneys fees.
5.11 Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for
herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first deed of trust now or hereafter placed
upon the properties subject to assessment; provided, however, that such subordination shall
apply only to the assessments which have become due and payable prior to a sale or transfer
of such property pursuant to a decree of foreclosure, a deed of foreclosure under power of
sale or any other transfer in lieu of foreclosure. Such sale or transfer shall not relieve such
property from liability for any assessments which thereafter become due, nor from the lien
of any such subsequent assessment.
5.12 Exempt Property. The following property subject to this Declaration shall be
exempted from the assessments, charges and liens created herein: (a) all properties to the
extent of any easement or other interest therein dedicated and accepted by the local public
